"Truly, I have no idea how much longer this kid plans to stay in there."
It had already been three hours since they discovered Lin Beichen entered the Black Hole. Yet, there was still no sign of Lin Beichen coming out; he continued to delve deeper and deeper.
"I feel like if he doesn’t uncover the ultimate goal, not only will he not come out, but the Black Hole might never be resolved."
Fu Daoyi pondered carefully for a moment and then voiced his thoughts.
Hearing these words, Song Xiangdong gave him a meaningful look. Although he didn’t say anything, Song Xiangdong’s thoughts were aligned with Fu Daoyi’s.
"Waiting like this isn’t a solution either."
Song Xiangdong sighed helplessly.
He had informed the upper echelons earlier today that the Black Hole’s range had significantly shrunk and that Lin Beichen had entered it.
Song Xiangdong received instructions to ensure Lin Beichen’s safety at all costs, and once Lin Beichen emerges from the Black Hole, he must provide a complete account of his experiences.
A high-ranking military official even suggested that whether Lin Beichen finishes his studies was now irrelevant. As long as Lin Beichen was willing, the higher-ups would offer him the highest degree, but his safety must be guaranteed, even proposing to have Lin Beichen live with the military.
However, Song Xiangdong directly declined this proposal. He understood Lin Beichen’s personality and knew that such an approach wouldn’t gain Lin Beichen’s approval; instead, it might upset him.
Although Lin Beichen wouldn’t do anything to threaten Dragon Country over such matters, working with Lin Beichen would be better based on an equal relationship.
After Song Xiangdong expressed his opinion, the military official didn’t get angry but rather laughed heartily, acknowledging his oversight.
He then ordered Song Xiangdong to handle everything through the Security Bureau once Lin Beichen emerged, with the sole purpose of ensuring Lin Beichen’s safety and providing absolute support for his path to enlightenment.
"I really wonder what this kid’s reaction will be when he hears this news."
Song Xiangdong’s face showed a faint smile. Though the conditions didn’t differ much from what he had previously discussed with Lin Beichen,
the fact that they were coming from him and from high-level officials made a world of difference.
"Did you ensure the safety of Lin’s parents?"
Fu Daoyi suddenly seemed to remember something and asked Song Xiangdong.
Hearing Fu Daoyi’s words, Song Xiangdong’s face lit up with sudden realization. After all, there had been a previous incident where Fu Daoyi’s parents were kidnapped, leading to Fu Daoyi angrily killing ten people.
That incident was ultimately classified as self-defense and eliminating foreign enemies, with Song Xiangdong covering it up. However, after the Atlantis affair, the foreign forces might try to deal with Lin Beichen. If that happened, Lin Beichen’s parents would be the first to encounter immense danger.
"You reminded me just in time. I’ll arrange it immediately!"
Song Xiangdong signaled to a subordinate nearby and then issued his orders. Given that the instructions came directly from Song Xiangdong, the Security Bureau’s members acted immediately.
To ensure Lin Beichen’s parents’ safety without disturbing their normal lives, the Security Bureau members purchased the houses around Lin Beichen’s parents’ residence.
Meanwhile, Lin Beichen had arrived at a small creek. The stream was only about a meter wide and could easily be crossed normally.
However, Lin Beichen didn’t rush to cross it this time. Instead, he sat down right in the water!
"I wonder if I can gain some insight into the Water Element’s power here."
Lin Beichen’s thoughts were straightforward. Although this was a forest, it contained flowing Water Elements. Since this forest was so extraordinary, perhaps it could offer some other insights.
"After all, every little bit helps."
With a playful smile on his lips, Lin Beichen closed his eyes, quietly sensing the water’s flow along his body.
"What is going on now?"
At this moment, Song Xiangdong felt like crying; Lin Beichen was causing trouble again.
The calm stream suddenly became blurry. It appeared the water was gradually turning into vapor, forming a noticeable fog.
"Look!"
Fu Daoyi abruptly noticed that within the forest behind them, an identical scene to the Black Hole was emerging.
"Don’t tell me it’s another mirage!"
Having experienced the previous incident, Song Xiangdong knew that Lin Beichen must have caused some projection of his actions, manifesting as a mirage in the real world.
Thinking of this, Song Xiangdong felt like crying again. To suppress the previous mirage phenomenon, many efforts had been made, and it was only recently that discussions about the mirage had died down.
If this happens again, and the public discovers that the mirage is caused by the same person, Song Xiangdong couldn’t imagine how to control the situation again.
