The heat released by the steel fire formed an invisible shield around the outside of Yu Zhesen and Jian Yiran's bodies.
Yu Zhesen controlled the temperature just right so that the surface of the shield could block and evaporate rainwater but would not make the people inside the shield feel too hot.
Jane was still grateful for enjoying such preferential treatment, but she couldn't help but compare Yu Zhesen's steeliness with Qian Zhimo, who had already fallen into the arms of the sect.
This gap is too big...she thought.
Although the sect relied on the supernatural gene-stabilizing drugs developed on Ark, the sect helped Qian Zhimo alleviate the symptoms of his supernatural rampage, but the results achieved only turned him from an uncontrollable time bomb into a controllable one.
Just a bomb.
Friedheim once tested Qian Zhimo's abilities, and the results were mixed.
The good news is that Qian Zhimo's superpower gene is very pure and can still exert amazing power even under the influence of inhibitory drugs.
The worrying problem is that Qian Zhimo has almost no ability to precisely control steel fire...
If we compare the capabilities of Yu Zhesen and Qian Zhimo to a gas stove, Yu Zhesen's current steel stove is like an advanced digital gas stove with an AI control program. It has low, slow, medium and high fires and can be adjusted at will.
Qian Zhimo, on the other hand, is a large stove with only basic switch functions. This switch even sometimes fails...
As for Su Qiang, who joined Ark together with Qian Zhimo, the sect has not yet discovered that she has any supernatural potential, respects her own wishes, and has not used the supernatural gene awakening catalyst on her.
"arrive."
The motorboat stopped in an old residential area that was severely flooded. Jane still suddenly came to her senses, and after carefully observing her surroundings, she recognized that this was the place where she almost hit Yu Zhesen while riding a bicycle with failed brakes.
The automatic beverage vending machine is already half submerged in water...
"This shabby house hasn't collapsed yet, so we're lucky." Yu Zhesen sighed as he looked at the five-story old residential building in front of him.
"How did you know there were children trapped here?" Jiang Mingqiu, who arrived later, asked curiously.
"The child and I have known each other before, and now I am his temporary guardian." Yu Zhesen waded through the water to the entrance of the submerged unit building.
"Then you, as a guardian, have neglected your duty enough." Jiang Mingqiu shook his head.
Jane Yiran originally wanted to follow Yu Zhesen upstairs to find Xiaoyan, but Yu Zhesen told her to stay outside with Jiang Mingqiu and the others because he was worried that the old-fashioned residential building after being soaked in water could not withstand the entry of too many people.
So she had no choice but to carry the assault rifle left by Yu Zhesen and guard near the motorboat with Jiang Mingqiu and Yi Changan.
"I haven't seen you before, new face." While waiting, Jiang Mingqiu opened his mask and took the initiative to talk to Jane.
"Well, I was just transferred from a civilian position to the special service team. Senior Yu is the master who introduced me to the industry."
"That's it. Xiao Yi here is also a newcomer. He just finished his internship half a month ago." Jiang Mingqiu glanced at Yi Chang'an with a smile and sighed: "This year has been really eventful. The Security Bureau has been busy since then.
.But it’s also a good opportunity for you newcomers to practice.”
Jian Yiran responded quietly: "You have to survive to be considered exercise, right?"
Jiang Mingqiu was stunned for a moment, feeling that this innocent-looking newcomer seemed a little different from what he had imagined: "Indeed... so you all must pay attention to safety."
No, it’s “you” who should pay attention to safety.
Jane still turned away her face to prevent Jiang Mingqiu from seeing her gloomy eyes, and answered absentmindedly, "I understand."
Although Jiang Mingqiu felt that she was a little impolite, she didn't say anything more. She thought that Jane's strange behavior when talking to her was due to the special service team's "superior" pride.
As Zhong Yugu's confidants, the special service team affiliated to the Criminal Investigation Department are naturally very different from the people like them from the lower-level security duty rooms. Jiang Mingqiu can also understand this.
But she was totally wrong.
Jane is still not proud of being a member of the special service team. Her role as a security bureau commissioner is completely based on needs.
[Since you want to remind them, why not be more straightforward? Wouldn't it be better to tell them directly that they will be in danger of losing their lives? Or are you saying that you don't want to "be a good person" because of your own position?] Shadow used a teasing tone in her mind
Zhong said.
"Is this allowed to be said?" Jane asked in her heart, still irritable, "Do you want me to tell them that you showed me how they died tragically not long after?"
【why not?】
"That will expose your existence! Senior will also understand everything, and we will be finished together." Jane still couldn't help but rolled her eyes.
The shadow in his mind gave out a "Jie Jie" evil smile in a very naughty manner, obviously it was fully aware of these consequences.
[Although I was teasing you just now, since you want to save these two people, why not be more proactive? 】
Jane still retorted: "How could I have such an idea? Don't try to dominate me. Let me remind you again that our cooperative relationship is based on your obedience to me."
[You can’t hide your thoughts from me, because I’m in your head. Do you want to try to be a good person? You want to truly integrate into this city instead of using a fabricated identity. 】
"..."
[So you are naively fantasizing that as long as you do more "things that good people would do", your seniors will forgive you in the future. Haha, it's so naive, but it's also very cute. I don't hate you like this. 】
Jane was really angry now. She acquiesced in allowing the shadow to exist in her mind, but this did not mean that she could accept her inner thoughts being peeked into and then exposed nakedly.
[I am just explaining the facts to you. The senior you admire is a hero who belongs to the Iron Dome world, and you... you also said that you are loyal to the sect. ]
[Then as long as you each insist on your own position, the contradiction will never be reconciled. On this basis, all your efforts will be in vain.]
"It's all in vain... Yes, maybe that's the case, maybe that's what you said." Jane still scratched her hair, her eyes gradually changed from tangled to firm, "But I have always felt that... life is short, why not give it a try. Even if it is in vain.
, let this futility happen."
[Okay, then let’s let this futility happen! Of course we can do it. Although I am just a defective product, only those who are dissatisfied with the present want to change the future! 】
Shadow's voice abandoned its previous sinister tone and became as impassioned as Jian Yiran's. And it wasn't just the tone that changed, its timbre also began to move closer to Jian Yiran's.
In the end, it seemed that there was only one voice left in Jane Yiran's mind, and it was no longer possible to distinguish between what she said and what Shadow said.
