According to Bonfrey's account, he left the camp before it was attacked at night.
Among the esper members, Bonfrey and the professor knew each other, so they lived in the same tent.
In the middle of the night, the professor suddenly said that it was too stuffy in the tent, so he went out to get some fresh air and walk around, and then left the tent.
After the professor left, he stayed alone in the tent for a while. Seeing that the professor didn't come back, Bonfrey felt something was wrong, so he went out.
No trace of the professor was found in the camp, so Bonfrey went outside the camp and soon found some traces left by the professor outside the camp.
·
"He had two glasses of wine in the evening, and we also smoked cigars in the tent. I caught these smells in the jungle, so I went looking for them."
Bonfrey said so.
Hearing this, Chen Nuo glanced at Bonfrey, but said nothing.
·
What Bonfrey said next seemed very strange.
"I walked further and further, and it felt strange, as if I had forgotten how far I had walked along the way.
Then, I noticed the sounds of fighting in the jungle."
"The sound of fighting?" Varnell asked.
"Yes, it's the feeling of a capable person fighting. I sensed strong fluctuations in the professor's mental power, and there was also a powerful and unfamiliar force entangled with him. So I chased after him."
"Then what?"
"Then..." Bonfrey frowned and said: "I can feel the professor fighting with people in the distance, but they are fighting and walking away, walking farther and farther. I can only try my best to catch up behind, that's it.
I chased him for a long time."
When I finally arrived, the battle was over and I saw no sign of the enemy at all. I only saw the professor lying on the ground alone."
"Then you brought him back?" Vanel frowned.
Just as Bonfrey was about to say something, the gray cat Black next to him said coldly: "I have a question."
"...Please tell me." Bonfre exhaled and smiled.
"You found the professor fighting with someone in the jungle...is that right?"
"Yes."
"Then, why didn't you warn the camp at that time?" Black shook his head and said: "Don't tell me what it was, you had gone too far. The matter was urgent at the time and you didn't have time to come back and report the news, Mr. Bonfrey.
Each of us was issued with spare equipment in case of distress. I saw that the launcher with the flares was inserted into your belt, wasn't it?
Wasn't the most correct thing you did at that time to launch a distress flare to notify the camp and then pursue it?
It only takes a few seconds to launch a signal flare, so it won’t waste anything.”
Everyone looked at Bonfrey.
Bonfrey smiled bitterly, thought for a moment, and then said softly: "This is why I think what happened tonight is very strange."
At this point, Bonfrey whispered: "Everyone, didn't you notice something unusual tonight?"
Everyone looked at Bonfrey.
Bonfrey said with a wry smile: "I didn't seem to be very conscious at the time, or... I subconsciously forgot a lot of things, including warnings, firing flares and other things I should have done.
I only remember that the only thought in my mind at that time was to chase him quickly!
Apart from that, other things were ignored by me for some reason."
"Ignored it?" Blake frowned: "You mean, you were distracted?"
"No, it's not that I'm distracted!
On the contrary, I was too focused! It’s just that I focused on the matter of ‘chasing’ and ignored other things.
For a normal person, no, for people with abilities like us, isn't this kind of mental imbalance very strange?"
As soon as these words came out, all the ability users present fell into silence.
Chen Nuo suddenly said: "Tonight is indeed a bit weird."
Everyone looked at Chen Nuo.
Chen Nuo spread his hands: "Isn't it true? A group of fully armed professional soldiers came into our camp and attacked us at night...
Everyone! We are not ordinary people! Even the night patrols and checkpoints of mercenaries may be wrong, and may be secretly knocked down by powerful enemies.
But what about us?
We have seven ability users here! Among them are strong ones from the telekinesis system!
Our mental power is much more developed than that of ordinary people. Even when we are asleep, we can remain sensitive to the outside world!
If it were normal times, let alone letting people touch it in the camp!
With so many enemies out on a large scale, we should have discovered them before they even got close to the camp!
But what about tonight? None of us can give even the slightest warning of the enemy attack!"
Everyone realized this and their faces were ugly.
"Where are the sea monsters and the golden bird?" Bonfre suddenly asked.
"We're going to the river beach. There must be something wrong with our fleet and gunboats. They went to rob them. They should have succeeded, but the people haven't come back yet. I've sent people to respond." Vanel said quickly:
"Everyone, if there is anything unusual tonight, you might as well tell us! This is something that requires our candid cooperation."
"...I fell asleep tonight, and I had a dream." Blake whispered.
Chen Nuo's face moved slightly: "Me too."
The two looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
It is obviously very unusual for people with abilities to dream - not to mention that two people with abilities were both asleep and dreaming at the same time before being attacked.
It is tantamount to mental imbalance and loss of the ability to give early warning.
"I was awakened by the explosion of the artillery shell." Black looked a little ashamed: "I can't sleep so deeply at ordinary times! What's more, when we arrived today, the entire advance team disappeared. Such a bizarre thing happened in the afternoon.
It’s even more impossible for me to sleep so well at night!
There must be something wrong here."
"I also fell asleep, but I woke up a little earlier than you. I woke up from a dream, before the first round of bombardment... Maybe it's because I am a telepathic person, and my mental power is sharper than yours.
Some people noticed something was wrong with the outside world, so I woke up a little earlier.
but……"
When Chen Nuo said this, he shook his head and said: "This is still very bizarre! Unless there is a top powerhouse among the enemies, and he must be a top powerhouse in the telekinesis system, it is possible for him to silently use mental power against us.
It releases interference and at the same time makes it difficult for us to detect it.”
"When I woke up, I didn't feel any disturbance or fluctuation of mental power in the camp." Blake shook his head.
Chen Nuo said nothing.
However, he really didn't feel it.
Chen Nuo turned to look at Bonfre: "Keep talking, Mr. Orderer!
According to your statement, your mental strength was also disturbed at that time, and then what? What happened then?"
"You may not believe it." Bonfrey said with a wry smile: "After I chased him down, when I found the professor, he was lying there alone, and no enemy fighting with him was found.
I saw that the professor's condition was very bad, so I immediately wanted to bring him back, and then..."
Bonfrey said this and frowned.
"Then...I got lost."
Everyone: "..."
·
get lost.
This is a rarer thing than dreaming through thoughts.
A mentally powerful esper will never have anything to do with getting lost!
A person with strong mental abilities can leave his own mental imprint coordinates at any time, and his outstanding memory is enough to allow him to record all the details and traces he sees along the way!
Lost? It doesn’t exist!
I think back then, when the Queen lost her memory, she could easily find her back to Chen Nuo's home!
Bonfrey is certainly not as powerful as the Deer Queen.
However, the Deer Queen suffered from amnesia and coma, and was carried by Chen Nuo all the way.
But Bonfrey walked out step by step himself!
How could he forget the path he had taken and get lost in the jungle?
·
"How long have you been lost?"
"It could be ten minutes or an hour. I can't judge accurately."
"..."
Chen Nuo frowned. This is even weirder... People with strong mental power should also be very sensitive to the passage of time.
Let's put it this way, even if you don't carry a clock or any timer, a telepath with strong mental power can easily grasp the passage of time.
There are many, many ways.
For example, as long as you separate a little bit of consciousness and record your own heartbeat, it will not affect your ability to do other things while recording.
For those with strong mental abilities, multitasking is not a surprising skill at all.
"I forgot... As I said just now, my consciousness may have been disturbed. The only thought in my mind at that time was: find the way!!"
"So, not only did you forget to record the time... but you also forgot to launch the signal flare?"
"Yes, when I got lost, I also forgot to send off the flare."
forget!
This word caused several ability users, including Chen Nuo, to fall silent.
Similarly, for people with abilities, there is no doubt that their spiritual consciousness must have been disturbed in some way!
If you can do this...
Chen Nuo's brows knitted together tightly.
"I carried the professor on my back and walked in the woods for a long time. I don't know how long it took. Suddenly, I heard the sound of explosions in the distance and the light of fire. I concluded that something happened in the camp.
The fire and explosion gave me the coordinates and direction, and I was able to run back."
When Bonfrey said this, he spread his hands: "Everyone knows what happens next, so I don't need to say anything more."
After a moment of silence, Vanel was the first to speak.
"I am willing to believe what Mr. Orderer says."
Looking at everyone, Vanel said calmly: "Mr. Bonfrey is famous, and he is also a member of the great Order of Monks! The Order of Monks has always maintained a very good relationship with our company. I don't think that Bonfrey is very famous.
What kind of malicious and hostile behavior will Mr. Mister do to the tasks entrusted by our company?
What's more... tonight, that weird mental interference didn't only affect him.
Harvey, Blake, aren't you two also disturbed?"
Blake stopped talking. Chen Nuo nodded and didn't speak.
The only person with abilities present who didn't speak from the beginning to the end, Sato Ryoko, just sat in the corner, blinking his little eyes and looking at everyone.
Because of the language, she... still doesn't seem to understand.
·
A few minutes later, the sea monster and the golden bird came back.
The handsome sea monster has a lot of blood on his face at the moment. Following him is the golden bird.
This old woman was clean from top to bottom, but her expression looked a little tired.
The two brought back bad news.
"Our fleet is finished." The sea monster said this directly, and stopped talking. Instead, he walked aside, picked up a bottle of bottled drinking water, unscrewed the cap, and drank it in big gulps.
He poured it into his mouth.
