Chapter 105 Coincidence
"Dad! Mom!——"
Zhou Cheng's eyes were bloodshot as he watched this scene. Liu Yu subconsciously rushed forward, but only saw the two bodies falling freely.
With a bang, the sound echoed far away in the quiet night sky.
“Dad, Mom!”
Zhou Cheng cried heartbreakingly. Beside the dormitory, the lights quickly came on, and Wei Ning and a group of people rushed over.
…
Liu Yu looked at the scene in front of him in a daze.
She still couldn't wrap her mind around it.
Why, why is it like this?
Wasn't it fine during the day? How come it just became like this in just a moment?
Militia captain Lao Sun looked downstairs with some trembling. After a moment, he stomped his feet hard and quickly went downstairs with a team of people.
Liu Yu also went downstairs in a daze and saw that the bodies of Zhou Dahu and Liu Lijuan had been covered with white cloth. Under the white cloth, there was a large pool of blood, which was so bright even in the night.
World Government Building. All decision-makers present were awakened and rushed to Zhou Cheng's dormitory, only to find Wei Ning standing nearby, sighing.
Zhou Cheng collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down his face. He sobbed softly, his eyes fixed on the ceiling, like a lifeless piece of dead wood.
"Zhou Cheng, Zhou Cheng, what's wrong? What happened? Tell me."
The first decision maker took a step forward, squatted down, and looked at the young man in front of him who was several decades younger than him with concern.
This was the first time he had seen this intelligent young man lose his composure since he had first met him several years ago because of the Yangjiagou ruins incident.
"Zhou Cheng, stop crying. Please tell us what happened."
"We are all here. No matter what the problem is, we can help you solve it."
Several gray-haired decision makers surrounded Zhou Cheng, comforting him with concern.
Zhou Cheng stared at the first decision maker with lifeless eyes and murmured, "I don't have a father or a mother anymore. Woo woo, I don't have a father or a mother anymore."
"What happened?"
The first decision maker stood up, thought for a moment, and said, "Call Liu Yu."
After a moment, Liu Yu's pale and weak voice came out.
"Hello, sir. I'm Liu Yu. I'm in the Dali County settlement. Just now..."
She recounted what had happened, and the atmosphere in the air suddenly became heavy.
"Ascending Dimension Sect..."
In the darkness of the night, several helicopters quickly took off, flew into the night sky and disappeared.
Here in the World Government Building, the first decision-maker patted Zhou Cheng's shoulder gently and remained silent.
The few people stopped trying to comfort him, but got up and left, closing the door and leaving the space to Zhou Cheng alone.
But they did not go far. They stayed in the living room, sitting down in silence.
In the bedroom, Zhou Cheng was still leaning against the wall in a daze, not moving.
A sentence kept echoing in his mind.
Why not me?
Why my mom and dad?
If you wanted to stop me from fighting, why didn't you just kill me instead of killing my parents?
Dad and Mom didn't commit suicide, no! They were bewitched by the Ascending Dimension Sect. The real murderer who killed them was the Ascending Dimension Sect, the Moon Goddess!
Mom and Dad are victims too!
I want revenge for them, revenge!
I want to destroy the Ascension Sect and the Moon Goddess!
His thoughts were sometimes clear and sometimes confused. After an unknown amount of time, a ray of light came from the window. Zhou Cheng stood up shakily and opened the door.
The living room was filled with smoke, and the ashtray was almost full of cigarette butts.
Several gray-haired decision makers looked tired, but still stood there.
"Zhou Cheng, are you okay? Don't worry, we will investigate this matter and find all the members of the Shengwei Sect."
"Thanks."
Zhou Cheng sat woodenly on the sofa next to him and said hoarsely, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
He picked up a cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and then started coughing violently.
After a long while, Zhou Cheng said, "I'm thinking about a question now. Were my parents already members of the Ascension Sect before they adopted me, or... were they bewitched by the Ascension Sect after they adopted me?
No, besides the time when they adopted me, there was another time when I set out for the Yangjiagou Ruins."
The first decision maker was slightly stunned and his expression suddenly became solemn.
Indeed, this is indeed an extremely important and critical issue.
If Liu Lijuan and Zhou Dahu were only recently bewitched by the Ascension Sect and became members of the Ascension Sect, then there is nothing special about it except that it shows the viciousness of the Ascension Sect's methods.
But if he was already a member of the Shengwei Sect before adopting Zhou Cheng, or before Zhou Cheng set out for the Yangjiagou Ruins, then...
Is it a coincidence that the members of the Ascending Dimension Sect became the parents of Zhou Cheng, an important figure who is crucial to civilization and may even rewrite the fate of civilization?
Policymakers are unconvinced.
This is too much of a coincidence, so coincidental that it's hard to believe.
But if this is not a coincidence, but something the Ascending Sect did intentionally, it would mean something else even more terrifying.
Why did the members of the Ascension Sect specifically adopt Zhou Cheng?
In this process, the low probability of lottery adoption was simply ignored. The reason was simple: winning the lottery was difficult for ordinary people, but it was definitely nothing for the ascenders.
If that’s the case, why did they specifically adopt Zhou Cheng?
Following this line of thought, several decision makers felt a tightness in their hearts.
Could it be that they had predicted that Zhou Cheng would play an important role in the entire civilization in the future when he was just born, or even before he was born?
Predicting the fate of a specific person in the next few decades and making plans for it in advance...
Is it because of this that they adopted Zhou Cheng and used the deep affection between them and Zhou Cheng as a bond to try to change Zhou Cheng's mind?
But, but, why not just kill Zhou Cheng?
Just kill him directly, why would there be so many problems?
When they were raising Zhou Cheng, Liu Lijuan and Zhou Dahu had ten thousand ways to kill him quietly when he was still a baby.
"The investigation team should be arriving in Dali County soon, and there should be results soon. Let's wait."
Several hours passed in a daze. The frontline investigation report quickly arrived in the living room of Zhou Cheng's dormitory and was presented to several people.
"Investigations show that Zhou Dahu and Liu Lijuan have been members of the Shengwei Sect for at least twelve years. It is unclear when they joined."
Twelve years ago...
At that time, Zhou Cheng had not yet graduated and didn't even know the name Yangjiagou.
In this case, the possibility that the two had already joined the Ascension Sect before adopting Zhou Cheng was greatly increased. It was also very likely that their adoption of Zhou Cheng was not a coincidence, but a deliberate arrangement by the Ascension Sect.
Recalling the figures of his father and mother, and recalling every detail of the past, Zhou Cheng clutched his head in agony: "Why, why?"
