"Share your thoughts." The white-haired man spoke first. He was the only one in the room who often spoke; the rest seemed like wooden sculptures, sitting motionless and silent from the moment they entered.
"What is Yi Tian's background that prompts Jun Bu to deploy a special team to find him?" No one had asked this question before, although William had given a brief report on Yi Tian's background before the video was played. However, the key points were still unclear.
The white-haired man happened to have William's detailed report on Yi Tian in his hand. Gently pressing his left hand to his temple, the white-haired man spoke slowly, "When Yi Tian escaped from the hunting team, he was still an ordinary person. Five years of his whereabouts were unknown; he reappeared in the Underground City, possessing very strong abilities."
"Five years of unknown whereabouts? Didn't he get taken to the Guo Family?" The person sitting to the left of the white-haired man remembered clearly from William's oral report that Yi Tian was rescued by people from that country.
The white-haired man glanced at the person next to him and said, "He indeed went to the Guo Family, but then his whereabouts became unknown. Even the people of the Guo Family are looking for him."
"Could it be that Jun Bu knows secrets that we don't?" Someone suddenly had a thought. His words immediately awakened the rest of the attendees with an expression of astonishment.
"No wonder Jun Bu's people are so anxious about Yi Tian. It seems we can't stand idly by." An old man with almost no hair said. His words quickly received approval from the others.
Only the white-haired man sat quietly in his chair, watching the other six debate back and forth. To their debate, he seemed oblivious, closing his eyes as if pondering something. Shortly after, a faint snoring sound came from his nose; he actually fell asleep in such a noisy environment.
The originally noisy room suddenly emitted an eerie snoring sound, causing the six who were debating to quiet down at once, looking towards the white-haired man following the sound. Their eyes were filled with incredulity, unable to believe that the white-haired man could fall asleep during such an important meeting. They stared at him intently but didn't dare to wake him.
The six people looked at each other in dismay, momentarily unsure of what to do; continuing the debate seemed inappropriate, and leaving directly didn't seem right either. Quietly, they stood there, looking at each other and at the white-haired man, their eyes darting about.
After the six paused their debate for a short time, the white-haired man slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the six, and spoke softly, "Finished arguing? Any conclusions?"
Upon hearing the white-haired man's question, none of the six dared to answer, lowering their heads, hands at their sides, standing quietly, waiting for the white-haired man's speech. At this moment, they looked like six obedient children, completely lacking their previous quarrelsome aura.
With a gentle cough, the white-haired man stood up and said, "Disband. That's it for today." After speaking, he headed straight for the door, indifferent to the dumbfounded expressions of the six.
"Sir, are you really leaving like this? What about Yi Tian?" Watt lowered his head and asked beside the white-haired man.
"Yi Tian? What does he have to do with us?" The white-haired man looked at Watt, "He's just someone Jun Bu is looking for and has nothing to do with us. Go back and do what you should be doing. Stop letting your imagination run wild."
"Uh?" Watt was left speechless by the white-haired man's question, or perhaps he didn't know how to respond. He was merely expressing some views based on others' conjectures, and now with the white-haired man's apparent indifference, he didn't know what to say.
The other five also had expressions of surprise, puzzled about why they gathered to watch the video if there was no intention to capture Yi Tian and his group? Why inform them about Jun Bu's pursuit of Yi Tian and his group? One question after another surfaced in their minds, yet none dared to ask another question, remaining silent, watching the white-haired man disappear beyond the door.
The six left behind in the quiet room glanced at each other, found it dull, and dispersed one by one.
Walking through a long corridor, passing through several securely guarded doors, the white-haired man arrived at a peculiar room. One wall of the room was completely made of reinforced glass, allowing everything inside the room to be clearly seen from the outside.
In the peculiar room was a single bed, a chair, a table, a washbasin, and a toilet, with nothing else. Seated on the chair was a boy, around thirteen or fourteen, with black hair, black eyes, and yellow skin. His expression was dull, eyes void of emotion, hands folded together on his knees, staring blankly at his folded hands.
This boy was Yun Yi, brought back by William's team, but he lacked the demeanor he had that night, sitting there like an idiot, doing nothing, accepting things when given, staying hungry if not. Currently, he seemed unlike a normal person, and if Yi Tian were here, he might blow up this place.
"How is the situation?" The white-haired man looked at Yi Yun sitting idly in the room, asking softly.
A young man in a white coat adjusted his glasses, pressed a few buttons on a display, and said, "Vital signs are normal, brain waves are normal, no rejection reactions yet, still in the adaptation period."
"How much longer in the adaptation period?" The white-haired man asked.
"About another day. His strength is too overwhelming, and something seems to constantly resist the chip's function, so it's taking longer." The young man replied calmly.
The white-haired man nodded, "Good. Continue monitoring his situation, and forcibly implant if necessary." Saying this, he left the side of the glass adjoining Yi Yun's room and moved towards the next room. The young man quickly followed his pace and began reporting on another person's situation.
Listening to the young man's report, the white-haired man occasionally frowned, occasionally asked a few questions, and sometimes gave instructions. After he had visited every small room in the large room, he returned to the room where Yi Yun was. His gaze flickered as he looked at Yi Yun calmly sitting in the room, softly speaking, "I hope you don't disappoint me. It's a pity you're not him, otherwise perhaps you could bring me greater surprises. Still, after you come out, getting him won't be too difficult. Jun Bu's fools genuinely believe they can capture him so easily? If it were that easy, I would have succeeded long ago, rather than appearing here." After muttering to himself for a while, the white-haired man paced out of the room resembling a research laboratory into a long passage leading who knows where.
In the peculiar room, Yi Yun continued to sit quietly in the chair, his empty gaze upon his hands, countless images flickering in his mind, then extinguishing into nothingness, while his gaze gradually became clearer, a trace of electricity appearing deep within his eyes.
