Chapter 94 After the Game Disappeared 5
Yun Xin stepped forward and broke Zhao Jun's shinbone with a kick.
Then he took out his phone and skillfully dialed the police, "Hello, this is xxxx alley. There are four suspicious men following me and they want to assassinate me. Please send someone to take them away as soon as possible."
operator,"……"
Four against one and they still couldn't win; the meticulously planned assassination turned into a suicide mission in an instant, and all his efforts became a joke.
Zhao Jun's face twisted in pain, and the question burst from his mouth, "You should have died long ago! Why are you still alive?!"
After the call ended, Yun Xin put her phone back in her pocket and casually replied, "Because I don't want to die yet, I'll go when I feel like it."
Zhao Jun had a gut feeling that something was wrong, and his thoughts were in disarray, his mind a jumbled mess.
After a moment's thought, Yun Xin knocked out all three conscious individuals.
"Now they can't escape." She looked at her masterpiece with satisfaction.
Soon after, patrol officers arrived at the scene.
Yunxin handed the criminal over to the police, then changed her route and continued to work.
"I've found something good again!" Although the cooling spray almost caused a tragedy, Huang Xinfang became more determined and never gave up. "This is a cooling patch that you can stick on your body to cool down."
"And this, Sixgod water, add a couple of drops to the bathwater, wow, it's so refreshing!"
Song Qiao looked at Huang Xinfang with curiosity, "Where did you hear all this? How come you have all this information?"
Huang Xinfang said seriously, "Since the government announced the time-limited power supply, I have become acutely aware of my own shortcomings. I charge five power banks every day and then study late into the night to learn from other people's strategies. I also often discuss with my friends and exchange information with each other."
"Are they really working this hard?" Song Qiao was shocked.
"I used to think I wouldn't need this knowledge, so I didn't study it properly." Huang Xinfang was particularly annoyed when she mentioned this. "Now I finally understand the importance of knowledge, and I learn a practical physics/chemistry tip every day."
"Don't just focus on studying, be careful," Yunxin said. "This morning on my way to work, I encountered a superhuman blocking my way and he even tried to kill me."
Huang Xinfang asked in surprise, "What happened next?"
Yun Xin: "She was taken away by the patrol officers."
"I also encountered a crazy person randomly attacking people last night," Song Qiao sighed. "The world is quite chaotic; you never know when you might encounter danger."
Huang Xinfang, "..."
She hasn't awakened any fighting-related superpowers. Besides catching up on her academic studies, shouldn't she also find someone to teach her fighting skills?
Huang Xinfang was a little confused.
She has already graduated from university, but why is there so much to learn?
In the interrogation room, the police were asking questions. "Your accomplices have confessed. You are their leader, claiming to be a superior human, and have committed several major crimes."
"The thing I do most often is to stage a scene, deliberately attack ordinary people, then save them and leave positive reviews."
"Not long ago, they were spreading rumors online, trying to force the government to make a statement and tell the truth about the time-limited electricity use."
Finally, unable to contain his anger, he demanded, "They're willing to become witnesses to testify against you, and there are chat logs on your phone showing you instructing your subordinates to commit murder. What else do you have to say?!"
Zhao Jun's mask had been removed, revealing a young, innocent face. He was lost in thought, not paying any attention to the police officer's questions, only muttering to himself, "No, this shouldn't be happening... Where did things go wrong?"
The police officer slammed his fist on the table in anger, “Don’t try to evade the questions! Answer honestly!”
Zhao Jun glanced at the policeman, then looked away, clearly ignoring him.
The interrogation room door opened, and a man walked in with a grin. "Don't want to talk to him? Why don't you talk to me? Don't look so miserable, I'm here to help you!"
The visitor launched into a long monologue, but Zhao Jun interrupted him, saying, "Save your breath. I have resistance-type superpowers. Your tricks won't work on me. I won't be tricked into revealing anything."
The talking stopped abruptly.
The visitor looked at Zhao Jun awkwardly and had no choice but to leave dejectedly.
The interrogation lasted a full day and night. The superpowered individuals tried everything, but couldn't get anything out of Zhao Jun. However, his accomplices confessed that Zhao Jun possessed a very special superpower: the ability to see the future with extremely high accuracy in his predictions.
The government desperately wants to use this capability to get out of the current predicament, but Zhao Jun just won't cooperate!
"Is he still unwilling to say anything?" the leader asked in a deep voice.
A hint of hesitation appeared on the young police officer's face.
"say!"
The young officer snapped to attention and reflexively shouted, "He said he wouldn't say anything unless Yunxin was brought in so they could talk alone."
A deathly silence.
Immediately afterwards, the leader began to inquire who this Yun Xin was and why Zhao Jun insisted on bringing her here.
"He is a spiritualist with superpowers and has predicted major disasters multiple times!"
"She is the girlfriend of Xiao Wei, the captain of the special rescue department."
"He is the First Saint!"
"He was also the one who personally captured Zhao Jun."
The leader pondered, since the person who reported the case was more capable than Zhao Jun, why not let them meet?
After some conversation, Yun Xin sat down opposite Zhao Jun. "I heard you wanted to see me?"
“There are some things I just can’t understand no matter how I think about them, so I have to ask you for confirmation.” Zhao Jun looked up and said, word by word, “If one day you perish in a fire, or are hit by a falling ceiling, and don’t have time to escape…”
“That must mean he didn’t want to live,” Yun Xin quickly concluded. “I’ve had a sense of warning since I was a child. If I wanted to live, I would have moved away before the fire started.”
Zhao Jun immediately understood, "So that's how it is."
It was just a matter of a single thought that caused someone who should have died long ago to live to this day, and like a butterfly flapping its wings, turn Xiao Wei into a love-struck fool, leaving An Ze (Xiao Wei's grudge boss) to die alone in the hospital, causing Xue Yang, who was still alive and well despite being wanted with a large reward in the future fragments, to lie in bed like a living dead.
He couldn't understand how a weakling who died abruptly after being hit by the ceiling could affect so many people. But if Yun Xin was a prophet of strength from the very beginning, and her death in the fire was simply the ending she chose for herself, then everything would make sense.
But this has led to new questions.
"You have a strong early warning ability and can live a good life, so why would you be so upset?" Zhao Jun asked, puzzled.
Yun Xin retorted bluntly, "You're the prisoner, I'm the prisoner? You won't say anything, and you expect me to answer you?"
Zhao Jun conceded, "What do you want to ask?"
"You possess powerful precognitive abilities and could legally gain social status and wealth. Why would you be so foolish as to become a criminal?" Yunxin didn't understand.
Zhao Jun remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, "When I was a child, my father was busy with work, so my mother took care of me most of the time."
"She's a very strange person. When she asked me what I liked, I told her I liked remote control cars. She would then give me a long list of criticisms of remote control cars, and then buy me a Rubik's Cube, saying that playing with it could exercise my brain."
“When I want to eat braised pork, she will say that fish is better. When I want to wear well-fitting light-colored clothes, she insists on going to relatives to ask my cousin for his old clothes that he doesn’t want anymore, saying that children grow up quickly and it’s not worth it to buy new clothes that won’t last more than a few years. It’s a waste of money. And it must be dark-colored so that it won’t get dirty.”
“Sometimes I wonder if this is a form of abuse, an attempt to destroy a person mentally.”
Yunxin: I can't help but agree; just listening to it is enough to make you feel suffocated.
"And then?"
"Later—" Zhao Jun curled his lips into a strange smile, "her behavior was unseemly. Not only did I dislike her, but my father did too. My father was highly educated, a college graduate, while my mother only had a primary school education. The two of them had less and less in common."
One day, my mother discovered that my father was having an affair. She cried her heart out, saying, "I gave birth to a son for you!"
The father replied, "What woman can't give birth? You're so stupid, how smart can the son you have be?"
“My father always looked down on my mother. He felt that he was more emotionally stable and knowledgeable than my mother! But what good is being capable? He doesn’t raise children.”
Yun Xin, "..."
If you can't do it, you'll get scolded; if you do, no one will think you're anything special. That's the kind of miserable job it is to have a son.
"After that, the woman outside did indeed give birth to a son for my father," Zhao Jun said in a low voice.
"My father was determined to divorce me, and my mother tried desperately to persuade him to stay. Just when things were getting out of hand, my mother unexpectedly learned that they used to be from the same town, went to the same school, but were in different classes. My mother was first in her grade, and my father was in the top ten."
"Because of her family's financial situation, my mother was unable to continue her studies. At this time, a kind person offered to sponsor her. The sponsor said that her grades were so good that she should continue her studies, because only through education could she change her destiny."
"But in the end, my mother didn't get the money, and the matter of going to school was dropped."
"Later, I heard from others that my father had used connections to obtain the funding through improper means."
Zhao Jun's expression turned cold. "Those who snatched their chance to study by trickery never mention their past humiliations after they become successful, and casually trample others underfoot."
“My mother’s way of dealing with people can drive you crazy, but that’s not her nature; it’s the difference between someone who has studied and someone who hasn’t.”
"But all that man would say was, 'That's just how she is,' 'She has bad genes,' and 'She can't learn.'"
"After learning the truth, the mother, who was determined not to divorce, took a knife at night and beheaded that man."
“My mother went to prison, and I became an orphan. None of my relatives or friends were willing to take me in, so I was sent to an orphanage. Bullying already existed in orphanages, let alone the son of a murderer? I found an opportunity and ran away.”
"Later, a kind boss took me in and offered to let me work in his shop, with room and board provided and a monthly salary of 800 yuan."
"But not long after, I was reported by a 'kind person' for using child labor. The boss was criticized, the shop was forced to close, and I had no choice but to return to the orphanage."
"Because I have a baby face, I look young and easy to bully, so everyone wants to take advantage of me, even if it's just a penny."
"Everything I've experienced tells me that this world is filthy! If that's the case, why can't we create a new world?"
Yun Xin was speechless, only able to let out a sigh.
"You just asked me why I don't live a good life? Now I'll answer you."
“A few years ago, the federal government released a population report stating that nearly 10 million girls have ‘disappeared’ around the time of their birth over the past 20 years.”
"If you are born as a woman, the first thing you have to do is survive from your parents and relatives."
"This is a patriarchal society, where men are supreme. As a woman, I don't want to work so hard for it. I'll do as much as the world deserves. If I'm tired, weary, or don't want to do it anymore, I'll just go on strike."
Zhao Jun could not hide his shock.
He probably never imagined he would hear such words from a "good person".
"Don't you find it interesting? The power to influence the course of the world is precisely in the hands of people like you and me," Yun Xin continued.
The Yun family is a family of shrine maidens, who are naturally drawn to disasters and unconsciously approach them. Guiding humans to escape from disasters is the shrine maiden's duty.
If my grandmother were still alive, she would definitely do her best.
Unfortunately, she was the only heir left in the Yun family, and she acted impulsively, free and unrestrained. If she said she didn't want to do something, she wouldn't do it; if she said she didn't want to live, she would never struggle.
The same applies to Zhao Jun.
If the government had grasped her precise predictive abilities, things would have taken a different turn from the very beginning. More people would have survived the extreme heat. Even without her, there was a chance the human race could have continued.
But there are no "what ifs" in reality.
Zhao Jun chose not to forgive, and she didn't have a particularly strong urge to save the world; most of the time she acted on a whim.
“Yes, the most important ability is precisely what we control.” Zhao Jun laughed until tears streamed down his face. “So even if humanity goes extinct, there’s nothing to complain about; it’s all thanks to the good deeds we’ve done.”
