“Qin Tian, what’s going on?” Yan Qing asked in a deep voice.Yan Qing, who didn't know the truth, immediately envisioned a scenario when he saw Qin Tian and the young man dressed as a waiter who was already dead.Soldiers fresh from the battlefield, due to prolonged high-pressure and tense mental states, are prone to irritability and making irrational decisions.This is a problem many veterans cannot avoid and requires psychological counseling from professional doctors after the war.And it didn't surprise him that Qin Tian, as a mentally flawed clone soldier, would impulsively kill someone.Qin Tian glanced at Ilies's corpse; his face had changed to that of a very ordinary Caucasian youth, with some freckles still on his face.“It’s like this…”Qin Tian spoke calmly, recounting the events just now in full detail, without any omissions.“…As for whether what I said is true, you’ll know if you check the surveillance footage.”The security captain immediately opened the surveillance records, and sure enough, in the elevator video, two “Qin Tians” appeared one after another. From their clothing, the one lying on the ground was the fake Qin Tian.Beep beep beep~~Infrared light scanned Ilies's face, and the system backend automatically compared the big data.“Captain, this person is a wanted criminal. His name is Ilies Wayne, nicknamed Thousand Faces. He has committed theft and fraud and is currently wanted by the Empire with a bounty of 1 million.”The team member stood up with the device and said.So it was a wanted criminal.The security captain smiled and extended his hand to Qin Tian, politely saying, “Major Qin Tian, please forgive me for any offense just now.”Qin Tian shook his hand and nodded, saying,“It’s fine, you were just doing your duty.”Seeing this scene, a look of surprise appeared in Yan Qing’s eyes.From the events Qin Tian recounted earlier, combined with the on-site video, he remained calm and composed throughout the entire process. He did not kill Ilies because of his disguise and theft but, out of respect for the Empire's laws, merely restrained Ilies.He was calm, thoughtful, and logical.He could even exchange pleasantries with others.This was nothing like how a clone should behave.“Could it be that I’ve finally found a treasure?”Yan Qing’s eyebrows slightly lifted, and a hint of joy arose in his heart.The Seventh Bureau has many tasks: intelligence gathering, personnel security, covert operations… But among them, the most likely to achieve /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ results and be noticed by the higher-ups is clone cultivation.If, under his command, a promising talent were valued by Lin Shuai and successfully transferred to the Imperial Capital, his long-stagnant position and military rank could be promoted.At this moment, the doctor equipped on the spaceship also arrived at the scene. At the security captain's signal, a medical detection machine made contact with Ilies's body, and soon, the device displayed the result.“This person died of a sudden heart attack.”A strange glint flashed in the security captain's eyes. An Esper, an Imperial wanted criminal with a 1 million bounty, ultimately dying of a sudden heart attack sounded quite incongruous.“He likely used too many abilities, and his physical condition was substandard, leading to an acquired heart condition.”The doctor stood up, shook his head, and said, “Many Espers encounter similar situations. Forcing abilities through the body will definitely lead to hidden dangers over time.”“So, abilities are ultimately a minor path.”The security captain chuckled, his words reflecting his arrogance as a Spiritual Energy User and his disdain for abilities.Of course, he couldn't be blamed for this.The entire Empire was like this; the Spiritual Energy Users always reigned supreme.Only when unable to become a Spiritual Energy User would some people risk extremely high mortality rates to inject ability-enhancing agents.“Doctor, can this problem be solved?”Qin Tian asked, thinking of his two teammates, Qin Dadi and Liu Zhaozhao.If Espers’ long-term use of abilities would harm their bodies, then he needed to find a solution for the two of them.The doctor said, “There isn’t any particularly good method; it’s simply about improving physical fitness and mental strength and not overusing abilities.”To improve physical fitness, life spirit liquid should also work, right?Qin Tian breathed a slight sigh of relief.At this moment, he could finally relax and check his newly acquired talent.【Name】 Thousand Faces (Green)【Type】 Active Talent【Description】 Adjusts facial skin, muscles, and bones to change appearance.Just changing faces?But it's also pretty much what I expected~Qin Tian's eyes flickered. Thousand Faces's effect was relatively limited, only able to change facial appearance. However, personal characteristics also include height, build, voice, and so on.If any one condition doesn't match, it's very easy to be exposed.Fortunately, he could add points.If he upgraded 【Thousand Faces】 to blue or purple, he should be able to perfectly replicate even fingerprints, irises, and even DNA, just like Mystique from X-Men.However, this also seems to be a talent suitable for assassination.Am I naturally suited for this line of work?“Major Qin Tian, we will handle Ilies’s body first. Please rest assured, we will not touch a single penny of his bounty. After it is reported and confirmed, the 1 million will be fully deposited into your card.” The security captain said politely.“Okay, thank you.” Qin Tian nodded.“Since there’s nothing else, we’ll leave first.” The security captain led his people away.Yan Qing patted Qin Tian’s shoulder and said with a smile, “Qin Tian, interested in having a couple of drinks with me?”Qin Tian bowed slightly: “Sir, it would be my honor.”…………More than ten days of interstellar travel were not boring.Qin Tian spent most of his time in his room, cultivating his Spiritual Energy User abilities and mental strength, practicing combat and sword techniques. Occasionally, Yan Qing would call him out for a drink.During his interactions with Yan Qing, Qin Tian always adhered to the principle ofthe less said, the better.Basically, Yan Qing would ask a question, and he would answer, and he had to be extremely cautious with his responses to avoid Yan Qing seeing through him.To be honest, this kind of communication was really tiring. After two conversations, he really hoped Yan Qing wouldn't look for him again.Unfortunately, things didn't go as he wished.Yan Qing seemed to be growing more and more interested in him, eventually seeking him out for drinks every day, leaving him physically and mentally exhausted.Of course, everything has two sides. If he could build a good relationship with Yan Qing, then he would have a backer when he entered the Seventh Bureau later.Additionally, during the voyage, he also learned a new term:Subspace travel.Simply put, subspace travel refers to a spaceship entering a subspace dimension through special technology.Within this subspace dimension, time and space will be distorted to some extent, and the spaceship will navigate to its destination using star beacons.This technology can greatly shorten travel time and is the only option for long-distance, inter-stellar, and inter-galactic travel.However, it is said that there are also many dangers in subspace, but this situation is like an air crash; the probability is extremely low, but once encountered, one can only wait for death.
