Chapter 25
Mental Controller
“Since Dean Su has made such a generous offer, I won’t refuse.”
Seeing Lin Ye agree with a smile, a smile also appeared on Su Hongcheng’s nervous face.
“Shop Owner Lin is indeed a sentimental person!
“Let’s go. I’ll show you the place. It’s very big!”
Seeing Su Hongcheng so excited, Lin Ye was somewhat uncertain.
He could not help but add, “Dean Su, let’s make things clear first!
“I just want the students of the academy to enjoy the company of tamed beasts. I’m not as noble as you say.
“The survival of humanity is not within my consideration!”
Although these words were said very sincerely, Lin Ye felt that it was necessary.
If Su Hongcheng was the kind of lecturer who was proficient in human nature and ended up persuading him to save the people after saying a few words, it would be troublesome.
After all, intellectuals had always been good at moral kidnapping.
Lin Ye had to be wary.
After all, Su Hongcheng was a powerful figure and a sixth level expert. His disciples and former officials were all over Jiangzhou.
Why was he so concerned about beasts with unknown futures?
Clearly, it made no sense.
After searching for the reason, Lin Ye was certain that Su Hongcheng was hiding something.
However, even though he knew that there would be a problem, Lin Ye still had no choice but to accept the offer.
It could not be helped. It was too tempting!
There were not many channels in this world for him to promote his business.
There were also no apps like Weibo and TikTok here.
The publicity methods were all in the hands of the higher-ups.
Otherwise, Lin Ye would have long gotten Blackie and Little Tanuki to start a live broadcast.
After all, if he did that, wouldn’t he be able to profit greatly?
At the side, Su Qingqing was also abnormally puzzled when she saw her father so excited.
However, she did not ask much at this moment.
After leaving the office, Lin Ye and Su Qingqing, who had their own thoughts, followed Su Hongcheng to the edge of a shrubbery “wall” not far from the office building.
Looking at the bushes in front of him that were about three meters tall, Su Hongcheng raised his hand slightly.
Then, Lin Ye and Su Qingqing, who had no mutant abilities, saw Su Hongcheng wave his hand, and a passageway that could accommodate three people in a row opened in the middle of this bush.
Seeing this scene, Su Qingqing’s mouth opened wide.
“Dad!
“W-Where does this road lead to?”
Lin Ye looked at the Su father and daughter in surprise.
This old handsome man Su Hongcheng had hidden himself quite well. Even his own biological daughter did not know about this.
Looking at this small path, Su Hongcheng’s expression was filled with memories.
“It was your mother’s territory 20 years ago. Unfortunately, it has always been abandoned.”
“My mother?!”
Su Qingqing did not know what to say.
For a moment, she even wondered if she was her parents’ biological daughter.
Why did so many things she did not know anything about suddenly appear?
Seeing the surprise and inquiry on his daughter’s face, Su Hongcheng shook his head.
“Let’s go in first.
“As for the rest, I’ll tell you in a while.”
After following Su Hongcheng into the bushes, the three of them walked less than 50 meters in the passageway and quickly came out, arriving at an empty space that was a little too wide.
Lin Ye looked around. This empty space was conservatively estimated to be the size of two football fields.
“Come, this way.”
After Su Hongcheng greeted them, he walked towards a two-story building on the right of the empty space.
As he got closer and closer to the two-story building, Lin Ye discovered that there were actually some cages of different sizes around the building.
It seemed to be made of special materials and still looked incomparably new.
At the entrance of the small building, Su Hongcheng turned to look at Su Qingqing.
“I built this small building for your mother twenty years ago.
“At that time, I was not the dean of the academy and was only an ordinary level 4 teacher.
“At that time, your mother was already a level 5 mental-type mutant.”
Su Qingqing was stunned.
After hearing Su Hongcheng’s words, Su Qingqing was at a loss.
After a while, Su Qingqing said with difficulty, “B-but isn’t Mom an ordinary person?
“Why haven’t I seen her use her ability once in all these years?”
Su Hongcheng touched Su Qingqing’s head with a sad expression.
“Because her ability is gone. It disappeared…
“If not for the old dean’s timely treatment at that time, it would not have just been her ability.”
The onlooker, Lin Ye, stared intently at the father and daughter.
If he wanted to tell his daughter a story, so be it. Why did he have to bring her along?
Shouldn’t this family secret history be told behind closed doors?
Lin Ye, who was puzzled, quickly received an answer.
Su Hongcheng comforted Su Qingqing and gestured for her not to be anxious. Then, he turned to look at Lin Ye.
“The reason why I’ve always wanted Shop Owner Lin to host a Beast Taming Academy is also because of Qingqing’s mother.”
Lin Ye revealed an expression that asked for more details.
“Do you still remember the device Wu Yan’s people fired on the night of the mutated beasts’ invasion?”
Lin Ye frowned slightly when he heard this and then nodded.
“I remember. It’s a claw-like thing.”
Seeing Lin Ye say that he remembered, Su Hongcheng immediately opened the door to the two-story building.
After gesturing for the two of them to follow, Su Hongcheng walked to a table filled with various miscellaneous items and equipment on the first floor. He opened the drawer and took out a few blueprints.
“This is a mutation item designed by Qingqing’s mother back then.”
After receiving the blueprint from Su Hongcheng, Lin Ye’s pupils suddenly constricted.
“Is this the design of the device that day?”
The “metal claw with three legs” on the blueprint could not be said to be the same as the device fired by Wu Yan’s unit 0 that day. It could only be said to be completely identical.
Su Hongcheng nodded.
“When Qingqing’s mother was studying her mental ability, she accidentally discovered that mental-type abilities can also be used on mutated beasts.
“Moreover, because mutated beasts are relatively simple-minded, the effect is even more obvious than when used on humans.
“The most direct result is that ordinary low level mutated beasts can completely listen to her after being ‘brainwashed’ by a mental attack.
“It’s very difficult to do this with humans.”
Lin Ye nodded in understanding.
If he could directly control people’s thoughts, wouldn’t mental-type mutants be directly invincible?
Then, he heard Su Hongcheng continue,
“If we can control these mutated beasts in large numbers, humans won’t have to hide behind the city wall all the time.
“At the very least, the beast tide that happens every year will also be much weaker.”
At this point, Su Hongcheng’s voice lowered.
“At that time, the two of us were both teachers of the Mutant Academy, so we applied to the academy for the research of this project.
“With the help of a professor in the academy who was very knowledgeable about mutation items, Qingqing’s mother quickly found a solution.
“It’s this ‘mental controller’.”
Su Hongcheng pointed at the blueprint in Lin Ye’s hand.
