I Am Extraordinary Alone
Chapter 362 - 360: Let Her Go

Chapter 362: Chapter 360: Let Her Go

Several days later.

Yin Country, Fengrao City.

At 4 PM, Zhao Ling arrived at the visitor’s room in Lingxiao Palace, with her bodyguard silently standing by the door.

"Are they all here?" asked Zhao Ling.

The bodyguard nodded and then gently opened the door.

After Zhao Ling entered, she saw two elderly professors sitting on the couch.

She quickly took her seat and, without waiting for the two to greet her, waved her hand and said, "Let’s skip the formalities, get straight to the point. Did you find anything?"

The two professors exchanged glances, as if deciding who should speak, and then the younger one cleared his throat and began,

"We’ve verified the launch data you provided with satellites and space stations in the international space orbit, and currently, only the trajectories of two International Space Stations match. This obviously doesn’t make sense."

Zhao Ling frowned and said, "So that means the object that was launched was received by an International Space Station?"

The professor nodded and replied, "That is the most reasonable inference."

"I’m familiar with the structure of the International Space Stations, and it’s not quite what Wei Tianyang described," Zhao Ling shook her head.

"The kind of space station you’re describing... with humanity’s current technology, would be very difficult to realize," the professor said.

Zhao Ling looked down in thought. The professor’s skepticism was not unreasonable; according to Wei Tianyang’s account, the Lingxian Sect’s space station has a transparent protective shield, can generate Earth-like gravity, and can supply a vast amount of oxygen. At the same time, it is equipped with an aircraft capable of breaking through the atmosphere on its own.

Heavenly Emperor Chen Ran even goes in and out of the space station without needing a spacesuit, wearing a suit instead... It all sounds like a second-rate science fiction novel.

But she didn’t believe that Wei Tianyang was lying to her.

"If that launch site was part of a normal scientific space mission, it wouldn’t be so secretive... Keep researching," said Zhao Ling.

The two professors showed reluctance but nodded in agreement.

At that moment, Zhao Ling suddenly had an idea.

"Wait a moment," she said, "The longest duration for astronauts to stay on the International Space Station is half a year, right?"

Upon hearing this, the professor said, "Typically, there are only two or three astronauts who stay for extended periods, and it doesn’t exceed six months. The environment in space... is completely different from the ground, and prolonged periods can cause both mental and physical trauma."

"However, there are astronauts from other nations who go up to perform scientific experiments, and their stays are much shorter, typically around three to five days, or at most a week. A large space station can accommodate up to twelve astronauts," the other professor explained.

"I’m considering sending Wei Tianyang up there to see for himself what the situation is," said Zhao Ling.

As soon as the two professors heard this, they sat up straight and hastily said, "Oh... this... this might not be a good idea?"

Zhao Ling frowned and asked, "What’s wrong with it?"

"Space is a frontier shared by all humanity. The International Astronautical Federation has also made this view clear and has established legislation that space stations and astronauts must remain politically neutral," the professor explained.

"You scholars are too naive, do you really think that once you fly up there, you can escape politics? Besides, what I’m looking for is the Lingxian Sect, and that has nothing to do with politics," said Zhao Ling.

"But... Wei Tianyang’s identity is too sensitive, he himself is a sensitive issue... The International Space Station will not agree to let him enter, and besides, he is not an astronaut, he hasn’t undergone any training..." the professor said.

"You’re overthinking it, he doesn’t need any training," Zhao Ling shook her head and continued, "Moreover, he has a United Council worldwide pass, so the International Space Station has no reason to refuse him access."

"We... perhaps, it would be better to send him to our space station?" the professor suggested.

"What’s the point? I didn’t send him up there to go sightseeing," Zhao Ling said.

The two professors were in a difficult position, apprehensive that this matter could potentially cause an international political incident, but at present, the Emperor could no longer be persuaded by any words.

"After you go down, compare the data again to see if you can find the exact coordinates of the Lingxian Sect space station. If you can manage this step, I wouldn’t have to go through such trouble," Zhao Ling said.

The two professors nodded their heads.

"Alright, you may leave," Zhao Ling said.

Rising from their seats, the professors bowed and then exited the conference room.

Under the watchful eye of the bodyguards, they quickly left the long corridor with the red carpet, turned a corner, and entered the hall.

"What do we do, Professor Zhou... We can’t keep this hidden for much longer. Zhao Ling, that bitch, has gone mad and wants to send Wei Tianyang up to the sky," the younger professor said.

"We’ve already done what we can. Contact Lady Mo tonight and inform her of the matter," the older professor said.

The two whispered to each other as they left Lingxiao Palace.

In the blink of an eye, it was midnight.

A handwritten, confidential letter was delivered into the hands of Lady Mo.

She delicately lifted the folded paper with her long fingernails and read its contents.

Lady Mo’s lips curved slightly upward as she said, "If the sky wants to rain, or a woman wishes to marry, let it be."

Having spoken, she tossed the letter into a red-hot iron bucket beside her and picked up an iron brand heating in the coals.

The secret chamber, located within the forests on the outskirts of Fengrao City, was where four members of the Superpower Special Department who accompanied Zhao Ling on her patrol had been stripped of their powers and now hung naked from iron hooks, enduring torture.

One person had already died, another two were tortured to the brink of death, covered in blood and barely breathing; only the female team member in front of them was clinging to her last breath.

"What else have you found?" Lady Mo asked with a smile.

The female team member spat a mouthful of blood at her.

Lady Mo sneered, commanded her subordinates to spread the woman’s legs, and then pressed the hot iron to her most sensitive spot.

The woman’s piercing screams echoed down the corridors outside the secret chamber, only to be muffled by the soundproof panels at the door.

At the same time, Baphomet appeared on the courtyard lawn.

Yaha was playing "Werewolf" with the servants; Zhao Ling wasn’t there.

Baphomet was panting heavily; in the objective reality, it had crossed over half of Heisai State, traversed the nations of Earth Sea and South Asia, and ran across half of Yin Country before it returned.

It was a difficult and lonely journey, but to outsiders, it seemed like it merely teleported from Wei Tianyang’s room’s desk to here...

Baphomet nibbled on some grass fruit to fill its stomach, then pranced to the lakeside, gulping down the water with ravenous thirst. It then howled in anger, "You horned bastard! Do you really treat me like a long-distance bus?! I won’t forget this humiliation!! I will have my revenge!! I’ll get you back right now!!!"

With that thought, it hopped to the third floor and sprawled on Wei Tianyang’s bed.

"I’m going to spread my scent over every corner of your bed! I’m going to sleep on your bed until the next sunrise! And I’m going to do it lying on my side!! I’ll also drink every bottle of fruit tea you have in the fridge!! Regret it!! Rage!! You incompetent god!!" Baphomet seethed in hatred.

Saying so, it approached the fridge, hooked its horn into the door handle, pulled open the door, and deftly flicked down a 2-liter white plastic bottle filled with fruit tea.

It exerted some effort to unscrew the cap, indulged in the fruit tea, gulping down most of it. Then it hopped onto the bed and promptly fell asleep with loud snores, feeling a sense of satisfaction.
