Chapter Seventy-Five

Night fell, enveloping the earth.

In a panic, Yuan Xiaoxiao ran away with all her might. But the suspicious man dressed in black and wearing a mask continued to follow her at a leisurely pace.

Finally, Yuan Xiaoxiao got tired of running and decided to give up struggling and bravely face reality.

"I said, who exactly are you? What do you want with me? Can you explain yourself clearly!"

"If you don't know anything, why are you running?" the masked man said with disdain.

Yuan Xiaoxiao, "..."

Your outfit is so suspicious, wouldn't anyone run away as fast as they could? If you're too slow, it'll be too late!

Forced by circumstances, Yuan Xiaoxiao wisely yielded, saying, "It's better to avoid trouble than to get involved."

Then, changing the subject, he added, "But if you need help, I'll definitely do my best!"

If they had run away earlier, that would be a different story.

The masked man gave a cryptic hum, "Where's Anze?"

Yuan Xiaoxiao inwardly groaned, but feigned a heartbroken expression, "The boss accidentally drank polychlorinated biphenyls and was diagnosed with liver cancer. Not long ago, there was a fire at the hospital, and because of his limited mobility, he couldn't escape..."

The masked man looked at Yuan Xiaoxiao, and after a long while, said in a confident tone, "You didn't save him."

Yuan Xiaoxiao remained silent.

After the boss was hospitalized, his parents and brothers didn't visit him, and even his former subordinates turned against him. The boss was furious, constantly cursing, and becoming more and more erratic each day.

She wanted to leave, but she had debts outside and would be chased by creditors if she left.

Just then, the boss proposed to her, "After I die, I will leave my entire estate to you. The condition is that you help me teach those heartless, treacherous bastards a lesson!"

Yuan Xiaoxiao was overjoyed, but feigned difficulty on the surface, "Boss, they outnumber me and I'm all alone..."

Anze repeatedly tried to persuade her, and even hinted that Yuan Xiaoxiao should resort to underhanded tactics.

After much persuasion, Yuan Xiaoxiao reluctantly agreed. However, to ensure her own safety, she insisted that Anze make a will in the presence of a lawyer.

Anze agreed.

He believed that cancer was a chronic disease, and he could live for several more years. In the meantime, if Yuan Xiaoxiao displeased him, he could still amend his will.

The most important thing right now is to appease Yuan Xiaoxiao and keep her by my side.

After writing down the doctor's orders, Yuan Xiaoxiao patted her chest and promised that she would never let those treacherous people get away with it! Then she left the ward to "think of a way".

During this time, a fire broke out at the hospital.

Anze suffered from liver cancer, along with numbness in his limbs and difficulty moving around. He ultimately perished in the fire...

Yuan Xiaoxiao, after completing the formalities and paying the taxes, successfully received the money without having to confront the eldest son of the An Group.

Everything went smoothly until she was questioned by the masked man.

"I was alone and my abilities were limited. I was also out on business at the time, so I couldn't save the boss," Yuan Xiaoxiao said guiltily.

In this world, some people with superpowers can detect lies. Therefore, she didn't answer directly, but instead gave a brief, descriptive description.

Even if someone with a lie detector ability heard these words, they wouldn't be able to deny that they were wrong.

Because it is indeed true.

Although some details were concealed.

The masked man scrutinized Yuan Xiaoxiao carefully, and after a moment concluded, "You deliberately left him alone. There have been many accidents in recent months, and if he's alone, the chances of him dying in an accident are very high."

Yuan Xiaoxiao tried to explain, "The boss told me to go out on an errand! He..."

"Since Anze is dead, there's no use keeping you alive." The masked man, Mu Genben, ignored him and snapped Yuan Xiaoxiao in two with a flick of his wrist.

Yuan Xiaoxiao fell to the ground, her eyes wide open in death.

The masked man sighed deeply, his voice filled with weariness and melancholy, "The future has changed... It's completely different from what I saw."

He is a psychic with the ability to see fragments of the future. However, at some point, he began to notice subtle differences between reality and what he saw. As time passed, these differences widened, and the fragments of the future he saw almost lost their value.

In the fragments, Xiao Wei is An Ze's bodyguard. He uses An Ze to control the An Group and has a lot of money to spend at will.

He and Xiao Wei were in cahoots, both weary of this filthy world, wanting to destroy it and establish a new order.

Xiao Wei uses his superpowers to announce the location of government leaders every day, making it easier for terrorist organizations to assassinate them.

And thanks to his superpower "early warning," he has escaped government tracking countless times and lived a peaceful life.

In the fragments, the entire Federation was in chaos. Ordinary citizens lived in constant fear, trusting no one but themselves, and robberies, thefts, and murders were rampant.

In reality, he lacked Xiao Wei's help, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make a splash.

At this moment, he even suspected that the scene shown in the fragments was not the future, but a parallel world.

He was already depressed, and his incompetent subordinates were still sending him messages on his phone, strongly demanding that he retreat.

"Dream Master: The situation is urgent, please evacuate."

The masked man had no choice but to reply.

"Leader: Continue."

"Leader: The terrible living conditions are the real memories."

After a while, his men started howling again.

"Dream Interpreter: He's extreme, has anti-human tendencies, and is like a madman!!"

The masked man, wanting to attack, again ordered his men to spy on Xiao Wei's dreams, attempting to understand what had happened and why Xiao Wei's behavior differed from that in the fragments.

However, a long time passed, and his subordinates never replied.

"Useless!" the masked man cursed angrily.

Ultimately, he had to admit that without Xiao Wei, nothing went smoothly.

Xiao Wei had recurring nightmares that night, and when she woke up it was already broad daylight.

He didn't even bother to wash up; he paced around the room, frantically searching for Yunxin.

Yun Xin came out of the storage room, and Xiao Wei, without saying a word, immediately surrounded her.

Yun Xin didn't struggle. "What's wrong?"

Xiao Wei said in a muffled voice, "...I had a nightmare."

I spent the whole night reliving the terrible experience and having nightmares. It was more tiring than working for a month straight!

Thinking about it carefully, he hadn't remembered those things for a long time, so it must be the propaganda minister's fault! It's all his fault for bringing up superheroes all the time.

For a villain like myself, it's already difficult enough to disguise myself as an ordinary person, let alone be chosen as a superhero for promotion... It's a joke!

Xiao Wei cursed the propaganda minister in his heart, blaming him for everything.

Yun Xin chuckled, "Dreams are all fake, you can't take them seriously."

As she spoke, she asked curiously, "What did you dream about? Why were you so scared?"

Xiao Wei couldn't say it.

Dreams of Xinxin inviting him to destroy the world, dreams of Xinxin lying in a pool of blood—these dreams are getting more and more outrageous.

What's even more absurd is that he believed it to be true, was startled awake, and then received a system notification.

[Due to intense emotional fluctuations, your potential has been unleashed: Sensitivity +0.4, Agility +2.]

The whole thing is absolutely outrageous.

"During nightmares, you can't distinguish between illusion and reality. Anyway, I'm just glad you're alright." Xiao Wei hugged Yun Xin tightly like a koala, refusing to let go for a long time.

Seeing that he didn't want to talk about it, Yunxin didn't ask any more questions and let him hug her without any hesitation.

Xiao Wei seized the opportunity and pressed herself against him vigorously.

Alive, warm, with a pulse.

Once you clearly perceive it, reality and dreams become distinct, and your restless heart gradually calms down.

Since talking to Xiao Wei, the head of the publicity department has had a sudden inspiration and changed the original plan to create a god to promote all employees.

Because he had too much material, he decided to make it into a series, with each video lasting ten minutes.

Once the first video was completed, the head of the propaganda department sent it to everyone in the internal group for their viewing, euphemistically calling it "respect for human rights."

He will release the video after everyone confirms that there are no problems.

Actually, I think the video is superb, I can't find any fault with it, I just want everyone to praise him.

"Let me see how it's done." The head of the special rescue department took a break from his busy schedule to click and check.

The video starts playing.

The clock on the wall showed 10:40 p.m., but the person in charge was still engrossed in his work.

Just after 5 a.m., the operator received a distress call. The police officer, who was yawning and getting ready to wash up and have breakfast, was dispatched immediately upon receiving the call.

In a subway station, an ordinary police officer defeats a superhuman criminal, albeit at the cost of his life.

During the pursuit, Xiao Wei was brave and fearless, single-handedly suppressing more than ten criminals with superpowers.

The carefully selected photos, paired with an upbeat song, are sure to bring tears to your eyes.

The video ends with the words, "We are still working hard, we haven't given up yet."

"That bastard's got some tricks up his sleeve, no wonder he's the head of the propaganda department." The person in charge blew his nose and cursed, "What a piece of junk video, it's such a waste of paper!"

Ultimately, the video passed unanimously. Everyone praised it, saying that this version was more moving than superhero movies.

The head of the publicity department received countless positive reviews and happily posted the video.

The video caused a huge stir as soon as it was released.

Almost every time I refresh the page, I see a significant increase in the number of likes and comments.

The comments were also very kind: "I cried, this government is really good."

"Fun fact: If you get off work regular hours, an accident that happens today might not be processed for another two weeks. To avoid a backlog of cases, government workers have to work overtime for months on end."

"Fun fact: Although public officials were killed in the subway station terrorist attack, they prevented the release of poison gas and saved thousands or even tens of thousands of citizens. They didn't do everything perfectly, but they did their best."

"Please trust the government. If so many people hadn't cast a vote of no confidence six months ago, things wouldn't have turned out this way."

"That's why I didn't understand it last year and still chose to abstain from voting. Even though I didn't know why the government did it, I didn't want to oppose it. As it turns out, I was right."

"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Who is that soldier who caught more than ten criminals in one go? I need to see all of that man's information in one minute!"

"Suddenly I understand what 'violent aesthetics' means."

"He's so strong, I love him so much."

"I didn't understand why some people admired the strong before, but now... I suddenly understand."

"I remember him! He saved more than thirty people when the bridge collapsed. He was a heartless life-saving machine! Incredibly efficient!!"

Underneath the video, Xiao Wei received an exceptionally high level of discussion, almost equal to the combined discussion of all the other participants.

Just as agreed, the head of the publicity department only sent him two work photos, leaving Xiao Wei with no excuse to be angry.

Some people asked in confusion, "It's strange, why is Xiao Wei getting so much discussion?"

In response, the Minister of Publicity stated, "The public isn't blind..."

She is good-looking, highly capable, and has a very strong presence.

He was so conspicuous, no wonder everyone found him in the crowd so easily!
