Underground building, 3rd floor, the place where Shang Jianyao previously saw the psychiatrist.

This time, he didn't go right along the corridor outside the door. Instead, after being checked by four security personnel wearing bionic lizard armor, he entered the true research area through the double metal doors.

Soon, he arrived at a small room with white-painted walls.

It only contained a table, four chairs, and a strangely shaped machine that flashed red and green lights.

A man was already sitting opposite the table. He looked less than thirty years old, wore heavy black-rimmed glasses, and appeared quite serious.

He pointed to the opposite side and said,

"Sit."

After speaking, he simply introduced himself:

"Liu Shiyan."

"Good morning." Others can be rude, but Shang Jianyao cannot.

After he sat down, Liu Shiyan pointed to the many data cables extending from the instrument on the table and the various sensors at their ends, saying:

"This is a lie detector. Wear them, and we can begin."

"Okay!" Shang Jianyao's eyes lit up instantly.

He began to play with the lie detector with great interest.

Liu Shiyan didn't stop him, observing his behavior and making some records from time to time.

Finally, Shang Jianyao put the different sensing devices on the correct parts.

Liu Shiyan looked at him and asked according to the planned scheme:

"Has your mental problem worsened recently?

"In layman's terms, has the situation of your brain twitching become more serious?"

Shang Jianyao stared at the lie detector and answered truthfully:

"It's about the same as before, no worse, no better."

The lie detector didn't react in any way.

Liu Shiyan didn't completely rely on the instrument and asked further:

"Are you sure?"

"We've been chatting for a while, haven't you noticed anything abnormal?" Shang Jianyao was still staring at the lie detector.

Liu Shiyan frowned slightly:

"Why are you always looking at it instead of my eyes?"

Shang Jianyao gave Liu Shiyan a look as if he were looking at a mentally ill person:

"You're not a lie detector."

Liu Shiyan opened his mouth, realizing that he didn't know how to refute that sentence.

He took a breath and slowly exhaled:

"Besides that, have you noticed anything about yourself that is different from other people?"

"Yes." Shang Jianyao answered very simply.

Then, he stood up and began to unbuckle his belt.

"What are you doing?" Liu Shiyan was startled.

"Showing you something different from other people." Shang Jianyao replied earnestly, "You can also take off your pants and compare them with mine."

Liu Shiyan felt a surge of heat rushing to his head and barely managed to suppress the urge to roar.

He calmed down and said:

"I mean, something you have that others don't, or something others have that you don't."

Shang Jianyao regretfully fastened his belt and sat down again:

"Obviously, I haven't experienced any aberration."

Liu Shiyan glanced at the lie detector, and seeing that it had no reaction, he lowered his head and recorded this point.

"Then, in the past few months, do you feel that anything has changed in your body?" he continued to ask.

Shang Jianyao began to recall:

"My weight has increased by about 5 kilograms, mainly muscle...

"My skin has tanned a lot, and my strength has also increased...

"My appetite is about one-third larger than before, and I poop more too..."

Liu Shiyan felt the blood vessels in his temples throbbing slightly, but he still didn't interrupt Shang Jianyao's narration, dutifully observing the lie detector's reaction and data, making detailed records.

"I have happily accepted my current state. When I'm calm, my thinking ability seems to have improved. When I'm impulsive, my courage has obviously strengthened..." Shang Jianyao seriously talked about his changes, "In short, I'm stronger."

Who would hesitate when they're impulsive and lack courage? That wouldn't be called impulsive! Who isn't better at analyzing pros and cons and finding patterns when they're calm? Liu Shiyan felt that most of what Shang Jianyao said was nonsense.

And nonsense is undoubtedly true.

After a few seconds of silence, Liu Shiyan turned and asked:

"Do you have any abnormal abilities that surpass the scope of humanity?"

"That depends on your definition of humanity." Shang Jianyao began to debate with him, "If you consider aberrant humans and artificial intelligences as humans, then what I have is within a reasonable range."

Liu Shiyan felt a headache:

"Only consider ordinary humans."

"Yes." Shang Jianyao answered with unusual firmness, "In the field of combat, I can take on two of you, or even more, single-handedly."

Liu Shiyan felt a fire in his heart that he could barely suppress, so he picked up the cup in front of him and took a gulp:

"I'm referring to superpowers, superpowers that ordinary humans don't possess."

"No." Shang Jianyao looked at the lie detector and answered very quickly.

The lie detector didn't change in any way.

Seeing this, Liu Shiyan turned to ask about other situations.

About ten minutes later, he put down the pen in his hand and said to Shang Jianyao:

"The Q&A part is over. Next is a physical examination."

"Is my condition very stable? Do I still need to regularly see Dr. Lin for follow-up checkups?" Shang Jianyao asked with great anticipation while taking off the various sensors he was wearing.

Hearing these two questions, Liu Shiyan originally wanted to say that if he could maintain this state in the future, he could cancel the regular mental assessments and do them once a year.

But he suddenly thought of a certain record on the file, so he tentatively asked:

"What did you apply to go to the surface to do?"

"To find my missing father." Shang Jianyao answered frankly.

Normal... Liu Shiyan breathed a sigh of relief and asked casually:

"Anything else?"

Shang Jianyao's expression suddenly became serious, and his voice also lowered:

"To save all of humanity!"

"..." Liu Shiyan looked at him and didn't speak for a long time.

After a while, he raised his hand and pinched the corner of his forehead, saying:

"I suggest you still go regularly, at least once a month."

"Okay..." Shang Jianyao was quite disappointed.

Then, he stood up, shook hands with Liu Shiyan to say goodbye, and entered an exceptionally spacious room under the guidance of a researcher in a white coat.

There was a state-of-the-art CT machine from the Old World.

And there was a series of inspection instruments in other rooms nearby, including but not limited to MRI scanners and other things, most of which Shang Jianyao didn't recognize.

According to the arrangement, he underwent examinations of different parts of his body in turn.

…………

Underground building, 3rd floor, a room where you can see all of Shang Jianyao's examination scenes.

Mei Shouan, who wore gold-rimmed glasses and had a refined temperament, scratched the black hair on the side of his head and shouted towards the door:

"Come in."

Liu Shiyan then pushed the door in with a stack of documents.

He said respectfully:

"Director Mei, this is the inquiry notes and observation results from just now, as well as the previous record of Volunteer No. 32."

In the "C-14" project, Shang Jianyao's number is "32".

"Put it there." Mei Shouan glanced at the inspection data and corresponding images transmitted in real time on the screen, thought for a while, and said, "Organize the past six months of Volunteer No. 32's experience and print it out as a document for me."

"Okay, Director Mei." Liu Shiyan turned on a nearby computer and busied himself.

Before long, he had downloaded and organized the tasks Shang Jianyao had performed and the rewards he had received after joining the Old Task Force.

Mei Shouan took the information and carefully read it for a while.

After an unknown amount of time, he chuckled softly and said to himself:

"He's encountered so many things?

"There shouldn't be any type of ability in the awakened abilities that can manipulate luck... Whether luck itself exists is still to be verified...

"To be able to survive after encountering so many things and get enough rewards, it shows that their team is very strong, so strong that it exceeds the estimated 'model'..."

Speaking to himself here, Mei Shouan wrote a sentence on the surface of the information:

"Reasonable suspicion that there are awakened ones in this team, the most likely is Volunteer No. 32."

He re-examined Shang Jianyao's experimental records and follow-up situation, and after the various examinations were completed, he wrote thoughtfully:

"Volunteer No. 32 has intermittent logical confusion and a certain degree of jumping in thinking. If we assume that this is the price paid and associate it with the awakened ability, then there is a high possibility that he is in the 'Zhuang Sheng' field."
