Chapter 158 The aftermath is not over yet

 Taking off the goggles and returning to the convenience store in reality, Yu Zhesen opened his mouth but resisted the desire to speak.

Because he saw Yu Qingxue lying on the table, seemingly asleep.

Jin Jianshen made a "re-contact" gesture to Yu Zhesen, stood up and left the convenience store with Wu Xiaoming.

He left a card on the table, and Yu Zhesen picked it up and looked at it. It turned out to be a stored-value membership card for this convenience store chain - the small screen on the back of the card showed a five-digit balance.

The signature in the cardholder information column is Wu Xiaoming, and there is a phone number below.

Yu Zhesen understood that Jin Jianshen did not leave this card to him just to show off his wealth. The value of this phone number should be much higher than the stored-value membership card itself.

He glanced at Yu Qingxue and estimated that she wouldn't wake up for a while, so he got up and walked around the store, choosing some bread, compressed biscuits and other foods that could satisfy his hunger.

The checkpoint near Tianheng Department Store has been lifted, although there are still personnel from the Criminal Investigation Department near the main entrance.

Carrying a bag of food and water bought from a convenience store, Yu Zhesen walked to the west wall of the commercial building and threw the whole bag into the trash can.

He hoped that Qi Xiaohei would accept this thank you. A wanderer doesn't want to accept other people's favors in vain, and he also doesn't like to owe favors.

After finishing this, Yu Zhesen walked to the intersection and glanced in the direction of the main entrance of the shopping mall.

Zhong Yugu stepped off the armored command vehicle, looking a little lonely.

I wonder if Chief Zhong will regret it at this time?

This case of a terrorist attack planned by retired veterans of the Pioneer Advance Corps can be said to be the first major case encountered by the Criminal Investigation Department since its establishment. Zhong Yugu and his subordinates were overwhelmed when they first entered the battle. I am afraid that the road ahead will not be easy.

Good to go.

He suddenly thought that there was another group of people from the Security Bureau taking action today, and the Field Service Department should have sent people to the Hongyu Bar.

Although Hongyu Bar is not open during the day, when it comes to the investigation by the Security Bureau, who cares whether you are open or not?

Judging from what Claire said in the Security Bureau conference room in the morning, Lin Jie should be in charge of the investigation of the Hongyu Bar and did not run away. I don’t know how it went.

"Is there a connection between the random band and Nightmare?" Yu Zhesen muttered to himself on the way back to the convenience store.

This problem has troubled him for a long time. "The Dream Flower That Never Dies" is undoubtedly a code word that connects with Nightmare in his dream - of course Nightmare seems to use different code words for different groups of people, which will also be more convenient for him.

Objects of differentiated services.

But was the random band responsible for singing this song at the Hongyu Bar being used without knowing the inside story, or did they actively become the assistants of the nightmare?

Yu Zhesen took out his mobile phone and clicked on the chat history with bassist D.

The conversation ended on that day when D asked him why he hadn't come to the bar to join him for a long time.

He lowered his head and looked at his cell phone, pushed open the door and walked into the convenience store. When he looked up again, he found that Yu Qingxue was looking at him with a calm and clear look.

Her demeanor and complexion look much better.

"I thought you and Jin Jianshen were gone," she said.

"How can I? My car is still parked outside, isn't it?"

Yu Qingxue asked: "Then where are you coming back from?"

"The intersection at the commercial building has been unsealed." Yu Zhesen replied, "Zhong Yugu and the Criminal Investigation Department seem to have to go back in vain this time."

"There are already hot news searches, and those reporters are so merciless."

Yu Qingxue said and showed him her mobile phone. On the screen was the hurried appearance of the rescue medical team, as well as the remains of the victims wrapped in bloody white cloth on the stretcher.

Yu Zhesen was startled for a moment and avoided those pictures: "Let's go back."

Yu Qingxue looked at his back and hesitated slightly. After leaving the convenience store, she said: "This is not your responsibility. It is Zhong Yugu and the commanders of the National Defense Force who should feel guilty for these sacrifices."

"Did you know? Ever since I discovered that I could predict the future, I have believed that the development of the world is composed of countless lines of cause and effect." Yu Zhesen slowly walked towards his motorcycle, "As my understanding of this ability gradually deepens

, I believe that I have the ability to turn the future I see into reality."

He looked back at Yu Qingxue: "So I should try to find a perfect line... a world that is close to perfection."

"Your idea is wrong." Yu Qingxue shook his head, "How can there be a perfect world? Approaching perfection is a luxury. Listen to Yu Zhesen, people die every moment in this world, and there are crimes and evil things.

They all exist objectively, and you cannot seek to completely eliminate them."

Finally, she defined this behavior: "If you want to do this, you are treating yourself as a god. However, the ability to predict the future alone does not qualify you to be a god who dominates everything. You will only make yourself feel physically and mentally exhausted."



"I have never thought about becoming a god...but I often have thoughts about what if."

He inserted the key into the motorcycle and handed the spare helmet to Yu Qingxue: "If I make the right choices and respond correctly to some of the focuses of fate, maybe I can make the world a better place."

Yu Qingxue did not refute him, took the helmet and got on the motorcycle, gently holding his shoulders: "Don't raise your perspective so high. A proper overview of the overall situation does help to think, but I think you just need to

Just pay attention to yourself and the things around you."

Yu Zhesen thought about Yu Qingxue's words and suddenly realized that the reason why she was talking to him about these mysterious-sounding truths was just to comfort him and not to put too much responsibility on himself.

So he couldn't help but laugh.

"Teacher Yu, are you worried about me?"

"Yes." Yu Qingxue replied calmly.

Yu Zhesen didn't expect that she would answer so readily and openly, which made it difficult for him to find an entry point if he wanted to deliberately tease her.

Yu Qingxue continued: "I have always been worried about you, even when I first arrived in Qidao City. But the worries at that time are essentially different from the worries now."

"Oh?"

"At that time, I was more worried that you were an emotionally unstable and high-risk power holder. After all, Steel Burning is a destructive power that ranks high in the [Destruction] group."

Yu Zhesen recalled the operation to arrest Qian Zhimo, and admitted in his heart that her concerns were justified.

"But now my view of you has changed. First of all, in terms of ability, there is no doubt that you are actually a hundred times more dangerous than I originally judged."

"..."

A hundred times? Is that an exaggeration?

"You should be the first gene carrier who can freely switch his own abilities and use multiple powers." Yu Qingxue continued, "And predicting the future, the combination of time stagnation and steel burning gives you a strong ability to protect yourself.

At the same time, it also has strong attack capabilities."

Yu Zhesen felt that her hand holding his shoulder turned into a grasp, and the force used was a bit strong.

"If you become a criminal, the harm to order will be immeasurable."

"Thank you for your praise, I really don't have the guts." He quickly excused himself.

"I know you probably can't, so what I'm worried about now is that you can't figure it out." Yu Qingxue sighed, "You have regarded dealing with the beast-turned-human being as your own responsibility, right?



"We can't do things half-way. We've done everything." Yu Zhesen said optimistically, "Since I can hit him hard this time, I will never let him run away the next time we meet him."

Yu Qingxue hesitated to speak behind him.
