Chapter 101: Contact

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Chen Mu, did you see that? It licked as well!"nôvel binz was the first platform to present this chapter.

At this moment, Du Jiajia's excitement was beyond words. She couldn't have imagined that, in a moment of absent-mindedness, she licked the glass and unexpectedly discovered something new.

"I saw it," Chen Mu replied, also very curious.

Could it be that this so-called telepathic feeling is just mimicking actions?

Like copying without variation?

If that's the case, it seems a bit unimpressive.

But Du Jiajia didn't care about that. After making this discovery, she was overjoyed and didn't mind whether the glass was dirty or not. She extended her tongue to lick the glass again.

However, this time, the little cat didn't imitate her.

"What's going on?"

"Could it be just a coincidence?"

Du Jiajia was on the verge of collapse. She and the little cat had been practicing together for several days, thinking they had finally made some progress, but once again, she was disappointed.

Feeling powerless, she sat down and sighed with her head low.

At this moment, the cat outside the door seemed to sense something again and let out a soft "meow." Its head lowered even further, and its eyes seemed filled with innocence.

Chen Mu looked at the cat in surprise and then at Du Jiajia.

Du Jiajia also seemed to sense something. She looked up at the huge cat face outside the glass window, and her heart seemed to feel much better.

"I have a guess," Chen Mu said.

"What?" Du Jiajia stood up abruptly.

"Tang Jing's talk about spiritual communication and telepathic feeling is likely true. It's just that the recipient is a cat, and your ability has only recently been discovered, so the effect is still very weak. In other words, Yellow (the cat) can currently only sense your strong emotions but can't accurately grasp your intentions."

"Can you make it simpler? I'm not Tang Jing," Du Jiajia said a bit forlornly.

"Let me give you an example. When you feel bored or hungry, those are relatively simple feelings, so the cat can respond to them."

"But later, when you wanted the cat to carry away a dead mouse, you couldn't do it. That's because Yellow could only sense that you were disgusted, but it couldn't understand specifically what you were disgusted with."

"In simple terms, it can currently only sense your emotions, but the specific details are beyond its comprehension."

The previously frustrated Du Jiajia, who had licked the glass in annoyance, was especially excited now that someone supported her.

Opening the glass would ultimately require Chen Mu's assistance. If he disagreed, Du Jiajia would have no way to do it. However, since Tang Jing, the chief strategist, said so, Chen Mu wouldn't likely object.

After some hesitation, Chen Mu said, "Let's ask for everyone's opinions."

As it concerned the life and death of a senior member of the Bright Start team, it was undoubtedly a significant matter. Moreover, Du Jiajia's ability showed great promise, and she held considerable importance to the entire team. Her life was no longer just her own concern.

During the meal, Chen Mu explained the situation to everyone.

However, Dong Junwei was the first to object, saying, "No, this is too risky."

Du Jiajia frowned and said, "Squad leader, I think it's okay. Yellow is very close to me now."

"It's not about its intentions towards you that I'm worried about. But with such a small cat, it might scratch you or lick you without being gentle. Would you be safe then?"

"I don't think so," Du Jiajia opposed, but her voice had softened considerably.

Dong Junwei's longstanding authority was enough to intimidate someone as gentle as Du Jiajia.

However, at this moment, Chen Mu suggested, "Squad leader, how about letting Du Jiajia give it a try? I will provide her with a full-body plastic armor for protection. If it's just a few licks, it should be fine. If there's any issue, I'll immediately pull her back to avoid any life-threatening situations."

Dong Junwei sighed, "Do we really need to rush like this? Even if Jiajia doesn't awaken her ability, no one will look down on her."

"But I'll look down on myself," Du Jiajia shrunk her neck, seeming a bit afraid of Dong Junwei.

Chen Mu understood Dong Junwei's personality well. She had always considered the safety of all team members as her own responsibility. The incidents involving Luo Hui and Gu Ping had already left her feeling extremely self-reproachful. She didn't want to lose a single member, and if something were to happen to Du Jiajia in this stable environment, she couldn't bear it.

Chen Mu said, "This is a step we'll have to take sooner or later. Now, while the little cat still appears relatively gentle, it might be the best opportunity."

Dong Junwei wrinkled her brows, unable to make a decision easily.
