"Arbitrator... why are you here?" Yu Zhesen was grateful to "Ren Ai" for helping to rescue him, but at the same time, he also felt a little suspicious about the other party appearing here so coincidentally.
Could it be said that this arbitrator is secretly spying on himself? Although this idea seems a bit arrogant and ridiculous at his current level, but what if the other party has a peep into the secrets of Shi Xin or An He?
Yu Zhesen glanced sideways at An He and found that she was more cautious than he thought. At this time, she had a silly look on her face and acted like an android maid without much independent thinking.
"I happened to be shopping nearby to pick out some casual clothes for fall."
"You are so insincere in your lies." Yu Zhesen muttered in a low voice, "There is indeed a large shopping mall nearby, but you don't have a shopping bag in your hand."
The female arbitrator did not explain, but she bent her head to observe the mist coming out of the sewer manhole cover for a moment, then suddenly bent her knees and punched the manhole cover.
The manhole cover was shattered by her punch, and more white mist emerged from the enlarged sewer hole.
Yu Zhesen looked stunned. He did not expect that the "Benevolent" arbitrator would do such an act that was obviously inconsistent with his status.
"Are you surprised?" The arbitrator noticed Yu Zhesen's expression. She looked at her fists that looked like they were wearing white gloves but were actually equipped with exoskeletons as if nothing had happened. "This arbiter's outfit is not for show.
Decorations that symbolize order must naturally have the ability to guard order."
"I cannot agree with you on this point. Guarding order is the responsibility of the Security Bureau and the Defense Force. The responsibility of the Supreme Council should be to ensure that the world is led to the right future." Yu Zhesen retorted unceremoniously.
The Arbitrator "Benevolence" gave a faint chuckle from under her mask. She observed the fog that continued to emerge from the sewer entrance and said: "Even as a commissioner of the Security Bureau, you have the same rights to enjoy vacations as ordinary people, but you still
You want to trace the source of this fog, why?"
Before Yu Zhesen could answer, she continued: "Obviously, it's out of a sense of responsibility or a sense of justice, right? You should already know what happened in this city recently. When this kind of abnormal and bizarre fog fills the air,
At this time, a bloody and brutal attack is likely to occur."
"So you already knew about the fog when you and I met last time..."
"At that time, I was tracing the origin of the fog." The Arbitrator confirmed his guess.
Yu Zhesen hesitated and said: "I became the object of suspicion at that time?"
"You had your eyes closed at that time, but you were walking freely on the streets in the fog, and you were able to sense my presence."
"So...it seems suspicious?"
"But after seeing you clearly, I no longer have this doubt." The other party laughed at himself.
"Why?" Yu Zhesen wanted to know her logic, "Because you know me? Do you know that I am a commissioner of the Security Bureau?"
"Merely being a commissioner of the Security Bureau cannot help you clear your suspicions. It's not like there are no enemies within the Security Bureau." The arbitrator's voice became softer in the second half of the sentence, as if he didn't want to mention it.
She explained to Yu Zhesen: "Because I know that you are the adopted son of Director General An and that you have just made great achievements in Qidao City, so I can trust you."
Yu Zhesen nodded slowly, indicating that he accepted her statement.
"Enough chatting. I see that you are ready to go down and find out. Do you mind coming with me?" The Arbitrator extended an invitation to him to go to the city sewers to find the source of the fog.
There was no reason to refuse, because he himself planned to "meddle in other people's business," so Yu Zhesen agreed without hesitation.
The sewers in Starzhou City are divided into two parts, the old and the new, which are clearly distinguishable from each other. The old sewers are simply the bottom layer of the original immigrant starship, while the new sewers are a serious urban drainage construction project. After decades of development,
The scope of Starship City has already expanded dozens or hundreds of times compared to the original Starship part, and the proportion of old sewers has also become smaller and smaller, accounting for only about 3% of the entire city's drainage system.
However, Yu Zhesen, who followed the Arbitrator "Benevolence" into the sewers, found that he was at the boundary between the old and new sewers - there happened to be a part of the old sewers located on the lower level of the core area of Starzhou City.
The fog in the sewer is even thicker. Due to the accumulation of fog, the direction of the source of the fog can no longer be seen.
The "Ren Ai" Arbitrator's exoskeleton armor's profile lights emitted dazzling light, outlining a golden human shape in front of Yu Zhesen.
"I think you must not have carried a tactical flashlight with you on vacation, so you can make do with my lighting."
Yu Zhesen said nothing and opened the safety of the pistol in reply.
"Do you want your bionic maid to follow you too?" The arbiter noticed An He who was the third one to jump down from the hole.
"It is my duty to protect the master." An He replied in a calm voice.
The arbitrator smiled and said: "Does your master really need protection? Although I don't know how the crisis in Qidao City was resolved this time, he can survive and save from the disaster-level superpowers."
In a city, this is not something ordinary people can do."
"I have said that it is the result of everyone's hard work." Yu Zhesen did not accept her praise, "It is like a relay race. Without the support of the teammates in front, the person who just completes the last leg cannot win."
"You are as modest as you want." The Arbitrator walked towards the old sewer at a speed slightly faster than walking.
Yu Zhesen followed her: "How do you know to go this way? Can you tell the source of the fog?"
"I can't tell. The choice depends on intuition." The arbitrator's answer was unexpectedly true. "My creed is that if hesitation and delay can't help change the status quo, then act decisively, even if there is a collision.
His head was broken and bleeding."
Yu Zhesen called her to stop: "To put it bluntly, I just fooled anyone, so please stop for a moment and give me a few minutes...just one minute."
The Arbitrator "Benevolence" who was walking in front stopped when he heard this, turned around, stared and waited.
Yu Zhesen closed his eyes to help himself concentrate further. He wanted to try to challenge his own boundaries and launch a causal prediction to judge the outcome of the arbitrator's choice.
An He took the initiative to come over and held his arm with his hand as a precaution.
"Please don't push yourself too hard, Master."
Although An He said these words beside him, Yu Zhesen still only vaguely heard the vague voice.
He has completely focused on activating the prediction of causality.
In the past, he could only take the initiative to observe the future one minute later. Even if there were occasional phenomena that exceeded this limit, it would only be a flash in the pan and difficult to replicate. But this time he wanted to try his own breakthrough.
Although there is currently no mature theory that can provide methodological support for the upgrading of superpowers, it is undeniable that there are people with superpowers in this world who have completed the upgrading of their abilities through various methods.
The impact of the blood pouring into the brain was so strong that Yu Zhesen's body leaned back involuntarily. An Hexu's hand holding his arm immediately became a real grip, and at the same time, he used his other hand to support the back of his head to prevent
He hit the damp, dirty sewer wall.
"Arbitrator, your intuition... is correct."
Half a minute later, Yu Zhesen slowly came back to his senses and patted An He to indicate that she could let go of him.
"Oh? What did you just do?" the arbitrator asked in an interested tone.
