"Um, is it really necessary to talk in a coffee shop alone?" Ye Shaoheng admitted that he was intimidated, but he was still a little hesitant.
Meeting in private is really against the rules.
Putting aside all personal feelings, if he really went to talk to Shi Yin, he would definitely be severely criticized when he got back. So many subordinates were watching; they weren't blind.
"We can talk at the police station." Shi Yin's words made Ye Shaoheng stumble and almost fall over again.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Ye Shaoheng gritted his teeth. He really felt that Shi Yin was playing him!
He had just suggested going to the police station to talk, but this woman insisted on going to the coffee shop. Now he's backed down and said he could go to the police station to talk.
Does he look like some kind of stupid person?
Who do you think you are?!
You say you want to talk, so can I talk to you alone?
...Of course it is possible.
In the interrogation room, Ye Shaoheng sat silently on a small stool in front of Shi Yin, watching her casually sip her Cheese Crystal Grape drink, wishing he could stare a hole through her.
This little girl went too far! Not only did she treat him like a monkey, but she also ordered him to buy drinks, and he stupidly agreed, ordering takeout for Shi Yin using his own phone.
I give up, there's no escaping this scolding now. I'll have to wait to write a self-criticism.
"Captain Ye, I need to see your superior and your grandfather." Shi Yin didn't mince words; her words were like a thunderclap.
“…Little girl, you should focus on your studies at such a young age, don’t imitate the behavior of people in novels and TV dramas.” Ye Shaoheng gritted his teeth, making a grinding sound: “You don’t actually think you are…”
Are you referring to some super awesome character in a TV series?
Before she could finish her sentence, Shi Yin raised her wrist and flicked her fingers slightly, producing a faint crackling sound.
It's obvious without even guessing that those listening devices were broken.
The voice was all too familiar. Not long ago, when he led a group to surround a death row inmate, his earpiece was hacked, and the electrical sound was exactly the same as this.
The voice of Shi Yin was very similar to the voice that suddenly appeared in the headphones at that time. Since the sound in the headphones was somewhat different from the real sound, Ye Shaoheng only felt that it was similar and did not think about it in this way at first.
Now, if Ye Shaoheng still can't figure out what happened, he's been the team leader for nothing.
Ye Shaoheng: "..."
No, sis, really?
Ye Shaoheng was immediately speechless, his argument faltering and his voice losing its force.
The premise of believing in science is that nothing beyond scientific understanding has happened.
Now, Ye Shaoheng's brain CPU is fried.
Even though he is trying his best to brainwash himself and believe in science, reality, and the country, he still remained silent when faced with Shi Yin.
The interrogation room door was flung open with a bang, and the person guarding outside rushed in anxiously, staring intently at Shi Yin.
“I will tell you everything I know from now on, but I hope to talk to you alone.” Shi Yin’s voice remained calm, her emotions as stable as if she were dead: “They will know the truth, but not now.”
"...Get out." Ye Shaoheng tried his best to calm himself down and waved to his subordinates.
The group looked at each other, but still obeyed the order.
"You, what, what's going on?" Ye Shaoheng's face twitched slightly; he didn't even know where to begin. "Who are you?"
"Shi Yin, that's my name." Shi Yin clasped her hands together, her calm demeanor leaving Ye Shaoheng momentarily unsure who was asking whom.
“First, I will show you sufficient evidence. I hope that after you see it, you will call your grandfather and your boss. These matters require your presence.” Shi Yin stood up and snapped her fingers lightly.
For a moment, the world seemed to stand still.
Ye Shaoheng immediately realized something was wrong. He tried to stand up, but he couldn't move at all. Everything seemed to have slowed down countless times, with only his eyes and thoughts remaining normal.
Then he saw Shi Yin reach out her hand, and a dazzling butterfly of light condensed in her hand. Then, Shi Yin disappeared and appeared behind him, pressing down on his shoulder.
Throughout the entire process, Ye Shaoheng struggled desperately but only managed to stand up three centimeters from the bench.
Damn, if Shi Yin wanted to chop off his head, by the time he stood up, his blood would be cold.
Ye Shaoheng could only watch helplessly as Shi Yin sat back down in her chair. The moment Shi Yin sat down, everything returned to normal.
"Clang!"
Because Ye Shaoheng used too much force, the chair tipped backward with a loud bang when he stood up, and he also stumbled back two steps due to inertia.
"...Am I insane or is the world insane?" Ye Shaoheng felt his worldview shatter. He couldn't help but swallow hard, a layer of cold sweat breaking out on his back: "You, you didn't use some kind of trick, did you? You used some kind of scientific little trick, right?"
Shi Yin: "..."
"If I remember correctly, your educational background is higher than mine." Shi Yin leaned back in her chair and shrugged. "According to normal procedures, I wouldn't be showing up today. Those three serious criminals would have escaped successfully, and you would have been dismissed..."
"Wait, wait, wait a minute, what do you mean by 'normal procedure'?" Ye Shaoheng was no longer calm. He was extremely confused. "This is crazy, absolutely crazy! What's going on? Am I hallucinating? I didn't eat any mushrooms today!"
"I knew I shouldn't have gone to Y City for vacation. Is there any side effect to eating too many mushrooms? I made sure they were cooked thoroughly!"
Shi Yin's eyebrows twitched, but she waited patiently, watching Ye Shaoheng wander around the small interrogation room like a headless fly, before finally calming down after a while.
"So, according to you, why should you help me?" Ye Shaoheng slammed his hand on the table. "And why should I help you? Do you even know who you're calling?"
“When the apocalypse comes, your abilities will be one of the pillars.” Shi Yin said naturally, “If I don’t help you, you will be a free man, you will join other warbands, and you will cause me trouble.”
Ye Shaoheng: "What the hell?"
Apocalypse? Warband?
It sounds so fake, so surreal, so stereotypical.
"Ye Shaoheng, stop pretending. What are you pretending to be clueless for, you immature teenager?" Shi Yin clicked her tongue lightly. She had little interest in coaxing a child: "You always complain about your subordinates reading novels, but you stay up all night reading them yourself. Do you really believe you haven't read any post-apocalyptic novels?"
"I've been reborn. This world will have an apocalypse, extreme weather, and zombies running rampant. You're going to be the protagonist, Ye Shaoheng," Shi Yin said lazily.
Ye Shaoheng: "..."
"Sister, you're my sister, I'm begging you, please stop joking, you're just kidding, right?" Ye Shaoheng really wanted to kneel down before Shi Yin.
God knows how much his worldview has been shaken today.
"Hmm, you begged me to stop talking, but you were secretly thrilled." Shi Yin chuckled, a hint of mockery finally appearing on her lips: "You were clearly looking forward to the day you got your superpowers, and you even climbed three buildings like Spider-Man."
"You're still wearing your Superman suit, standing on the rooftop shouting that you're going to save the world. You're always the most excited one on every mission. And every time you're asked to write your will, you'll say, 'I am the most beautiful relic in this world.'"
As she spoke, Shi Yin let out a soft hum.
"In the apocalypse, you're the one having the most fun."
Ye Shaoheng: "..."
Please stop talking, it's too embarrassing.
This really seems like something he's capable of doing!
