Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 198: Not Allowed to Rest Even After Death?

Chapter 198: Chapter 198: Not Allowed to Rest Even After Death?

Aunt Zeng carefully controlled her energy as it entered Sun Liguo’s brain.

The Dream-Entering Ability requires the superpower user’s spiritual power to construct a complete dreamscape within the dreamer’s mind and convey psychological suggestions through the dream, thus achieving a hypnotic effect.

Previously, she had used this method to relieve Bai Xiaotang’s psychological pressure, preventing her from collapsing due to the rumors and slanders in Beijing. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

However, this superpower requires the user to possess a strong spiritual power and knowledge of psychology to achieve a good suggestive effect.

Otherwise, it would merely be a superficial attempt, giving the dreamer a negligible suggestion, unable to leave a significant impact on their cognition.

Aunt Zeng’s Dream-Entering Ability was considered outstanding, so Ji Ning had her assist in suggesting Sun Liguo to wake up.

The researchers analyzed that Sun Liguo remained unconscious because his brain autonomously developed a self-defense mechanism to avoid the pressure and fear brought by external forces.

As Ji Ning put it: Sun Liguo chickened out and got scared to death by her.

Aunt Zeng cautiously used her ability, asking Ji Ning a question.

"Miss Ji, the dreamscape is ready. How do you want to suggest to him?"

The energy at her fingertips wove into a fine mesh in Sun Liguo’s mind, affecting his dreamscape.

Ji Ning found it intriguing.

Even though her spiritual power far surpassed Aunt Zeng’s, the highly skilled Dream-Entering Ability wasn’t something she could learn easily.

Ji Ning thought for a moment and replied, "If he doesn’t wake up, living will be worse than death."

Aunt Zeng: ...

This was intended to torment the man for a lifetime.

Aunt Zeng manipulated her ability, weaving the dreamscape in Sun Liguo’s mind over and over, reciting Ji Ning’s words, for about half an hour before stopping.

Wiping the sweat from her forehead, feeling somewhat exhausted, she said, "Miss Ji, the Dream-Entering session is over."

Ji Ning nodded slightly, and as her fingers moved, Aunt Zeng felt a gentle energy enter her body, warm and comforting, as if she was basking in warm sunlight, all her pores opened up, washing away her fatigue and filling her with energy.

This was...

Healing Ability.

Aunt Zeng’s eyes widened in astonishment, her heart filled with surprise and complexity.

Sun Liguo’s previously calm brainwaves began to change two hours later.

This alerted several researchers from the institute. After checking, Ye Lin suppressed his excitement and looked at Ji Ning. He originally wanted to say a few words to establish rapport, but Ji Ning yawned and left directly, not giving him any chance to engage.

Ye Lin swallowed his words, feeling quite aggrieved.

"Teacher Ye, the patient is showing signs of waking up, we need to treat him again to strive for a rapid recovery," the researcher beside him said excitedly, only to receive a dismissive glance.

Didn’t he know further treatment was needed?

But the person had already left...

"Ye Bo, there’s no need to be anxious. The Security Bureau is more eager than we are for him to wake up." A man of similar age to Ye Lin patted his shoulder.

The initial treatment for Sun Liguo was requested by the Security Bureau. They are in no rush, so what’s the hurry at the institute?

Ye Lin didn’t argue, but felt very irritable inside.

They didn’t have any psychological burden, but he did.

After all, he had a task assigned by the Family Head.

If the person doesn’t wake up, what is he supposed to do?

Meanwhile, Ji Ning, free of any psychological burden, yawned as she got into the Bai Family’s car.

Though she had an apartment in Beijing provided by the Security Bureau, Bai Yusen had something to discuss with her.

This was about the Sun Family.

***

Bai Yusen didn’t go to the company today; he stayed home specifically waiting for Ji Ning.

He truly hadn’t expected that the superpower user giving the Sun Family a hard time was Ji Ning.

Once he received confirmed information, he sat stunned in his office for an afternoon.

Ji Ning’s abilities were even more dangerous than he had imagined.

If one day she turned against the Bai Family, would he have enough capability to protect Bai Xiaotang?

After thinking about it for a long time, he decided to talk to Ji Ning in person.

An hour later.

The car picking up Ji Ning drove into the Bai Family villa area.

Beijing’s early winter chilled quickly, and everyone along the way was wearing thick coats.

Inside the villa area, it wasn’t as desolate as outside; the plants were still lushly green, with colorful flowers decorating the gate like a garden.

Ji Ning glanced at the little flowers a few times, then walked through the front yard familiarly and entered the villa.

She felt a warm breeze as soon as she opened the door.

Bai Yusen’s secretary was standing at the door waiting respectfully, wearing a polite smile, "Miss Ji, President Bai is waiting for you inside."

Ji Ning raised an eyebrow, changed into the slippers prepared for her.

Passing through the foyer, she saw Bai Yusen sitting on the sofa, reading a newspaper.

With modern conveniences, few people still read physical books and newspapers.

"You’re here."

Bai Yusen folded the newspaper, set it aside, and got up to walk to the open kitchen, "What would you like to drink?"

"Anything."

Ji Ning didn’t hold back, finding a comfortable position to sit beside the sofa.

Bai Yusen glanced at her, his expression softened significantly.

Besides the two of them, there was no one else in the living room.

The housekeepers and maids of the Bai Family wisely stayed away from the living room.

Bai Yusen operated the coffee machine in the kitchen, asked in a casual manner, "Is Sun Liguo awake?"

"Almost."

"This time, the Sun Family has truly lost face." Bai Yusen chuckled lightly.

Ji Ning glanced at him, her expression very calm, "Is that why you called me here?"

"Not entirely. The Sun Family’s planned food festival has been postponed. The scale will be grander than before, and they’ve invited many more people."

"Did they invite you?" Ji Ning raised an eyebrow.

Bai Yusen paused, "Yes, aside from those three families, notable noble families from both inside and outside of Beijing were all invited."

Ji Ning nodded slightly, "That’s normal. After losing face, they naturally want to regain it. I guess the Sun Family will also announce some good news."

"Good news?" Bai Yusen furrowed his brows slightly.

He only found out about the Sun Family’s second wave of noble family invitations, but was unaware of the good news Ji Ning mentioned.

Bai Yusen came over, holding a coffee with a lot of sugar, placed it on the coffee table in front of Ji Ning, and asked, "Are you planning to attend?"

Ji Ning seemed to be contemplating, then after a moment said, "The Sun Family gave me an invitation."

"Could it be a trap?"

Ji Ning picked up the coffee cup, glanced at him, Bai Yusen adjusted his expression, cleared his throat, "After all, you just had a conflict with them."

"They’re not stupid."

"True. The Sun Family has always acted in self-interest. You could come with me..."

"No need, we’ll go via Anhe."

"We?" Bai Yusen’s expression changed quite a bit, "Tangtang is going too?"

Ji Ning looked at him, the corners of her lips lifting slightly, "Yes, my invitation allows me to bring others. Bai Xiaotang, Ye Tong, and Lin Yuanyang will go with me. Of course... along with the people you’re sending."

With Ji Ning’s words, Bai Yusen’s heart grew heavier, yet he didn’t immediately refuse like before, instead he asked, "Do you have any plans?"

"No, just taking them out for some fun."

"..."

Bai Yusen didn’t quite believe her and intended to bring some people secretly.

But as if seeing through him, Ji Ning suddenly smiled and said, "Don’t bring too many people, or your house might get robbed."

What?

Bai Yusen’s brows furrowed once more.
