There was a room for conversation. Shi Yin walked behind the leader, half a step behind. Her sharp and imposing aura suddenly became restrained.
"Do we know each other?" The commander gestured for Shi Yin to sit down and got straight to the point.
Shi Yin didn't say anything, calmly sat down, felt around under the seat a couple of times, pulled out a small round listening device, casually crushed it, and threw it on the table.
His movements were fluid and practiced, as if he had repeated them thousands of times.
"Shiyin." Shiyin directly told the leader her name.
"Do you know what you said today? The end times, disasters, if this were true, the world would be in turmoil." Knowing it wasn't the time for subtlety, the leader cut straight to the point.
"In fact, the world is not just in turmoil. In the first disaster, the human population was reduced by more than half. After several rounds of disasters, they were almost wiped out." Shi Yin said calmly, "I am certain that the source of this disaster was man-made. It's just that the right time, the right place, and the right people all came together."
"May I ask you a few questions?" the commander-in-chief asked.
Shi Yin: "I will speak my mind without reservation."
"I've heard the term 'end times.' You said it's due to multiple factors. How much do you know about it?" the commander-in-chief asked.
"Currently, the factors that have not yet triggered an outbreak are pollution and radiation. The factor that has been temporarily contained is the man-made virus. However, in six months, these factors will all erupt together due to the special radiation brought by the meteorite from outer space."
Shi Yin had already memorized this passage.
"Why are you looking for me?" the commander-in-chief suddenly asked.
Shion: "...Hmm..."
Shi Yin: "Because I have social anxiety."
Commander-in-Chief: "?"
Is it true or false?
If you're socially awkward and suddenly appear on stage in front of everyone, people who don't know better would think you're going to kidnap me and take me hostage.
Are you experiencing social anxiety again?
“Well… interpersonal relationships are too much trouble for me, I don’t have the extra energy to deal with these things…” Shi Yin awkwardly looked away: “But you’re much better at it, you’re more eloquent…”
Commander-in-Chief: "..."
So, this must be your real reason for contacting me so quickly.
However, that was a good compliment. Don't do it again next time; it really doesn't sound like a compliment.
"You say you are a reborn person... Are you the only one who has been reborn?" the commander-in-chief continued to ask bluntly.
Although the Consul General really wanted to ask why other people hadn't reported it to the state, he knew that such a statement from an ordinary person would be completely unconvincing.
Moreover, who knows, maybe Time Sound is a team?
“I am the only one. Currently, there are only five people with superpowers, distributed across five countries. Others have been reborn, but it’s not convincing,” Shi Yin replied. “And it’s useless anyway. Apart from me and the four from other countries, everyone else is theoretically only being reborn for the first time.”
“Everyone else is just repeating the process of their first rebirth, except for me, who is time-traveling,” Shi Yin said calmly. “And I can guarantee that I am the strongest superhuman in the world.”
These words were so absolute that the leader-in-chief was momentarily at a loss for words.
At first glance, it might seem a bit too arrogant, but she spoke so calmly and matter-of-factly that it made people subconsciously want to believe her.
"How can you be so sure I will support you?" The Consul General still hesitated. "This country is not my personal fiefdom. You need to provide more compelling evidence."
"Besides your violent suppression just now," the Commander added, "being capable is one thing, but we can't simply believe that a capable person can lead humanity to the end. You need to prove your ability; for example, you are a reborn person."
“Okay.” Shi Yin nodded. “I will confirm in a month. In the meantime, in order not to waste this precious month, I hope you can cooperate with my work.”
“Alright, then I will cooperate with you first. You will work directly with me.” The leader nodded in agreement: “One month later, once you have proven the authenticity of your rebirth, I will organize a new meeting for everyone.”
In fact, this means they've already sided with Tokine.
“Okay,” Shi Yin agreed again.
“I’m hoping for compelling evidence, not nonsense like lottery numbers or football betting odds,” the Commander added. “You need to prove to others that you are indeed a reborn being and that you have sufficient power.”
Lotteries and similar things can be manipulated behind closed doors. The leader just witnessed Tokine's abilities. If Tokine were to use her abilities to threaten people directly, she could easily control the situation.
Shi Yin is very powerful. It seems that human technology has a hard time harming her so far, so it is probably true that she is the strongest superhuman.
Shion said that she was the strongest superhuman, so there was more than one superhuman. If I guessed correctly, superhuman abilities would become a common phenomenon after the zombie outbreak. It was really great that Shion was willing to cooperate in advance.
Moreover, this proves that she had no malicious intent.
From the series of actions just now, the leader could see that Shi Yin had no ambition. Rather than saying she had no ambition, it would be more accurate to say that she was like a cold-blooded machine that completed tasks.
This actually makes it easier to feel at ease.
However, her rebirth still needs to be verified. As he just said, having strong abilities and guiding humanity are two different things, and she needs to fully prove herself.
In just a few seconds, the leader's thoughts raced through his mind.
“Okay.” Shi Yin nodded again: “I will try my best to give them a surprise.”
The two stood up and began to talk, concluding the smooth and successful conversation.
For some reason, the commander-in-chief had an extremely strange feeling.
Why was he so familiar with this process? It was as if the two of them had already prepared their lines in their minds, exchanging words like NPCs in a mechanical dialogue before starting the next phase.
The machine was running incredibly smoothly.
"I'd like to ask one more question. You said that everyone except you is experiencing this rebirth for the first time, so this isn't your first time," the Grand Master said, stopping Shi Yin who was about to open the door. "So, in your many rebirths, this shouldn't be the first time you've come to me, and you've successfully cooperated with me several times?"
The room was quiet, and the leader could hear his own heartbeat. As Shi Yin turned the doorknob, he suddenly had a strong premonition that the answer was about to be revealed.
“Every single time.”
Shi Yin spoke calmly, pushed open the door, and walked out without looking back.
This scene has been repeated many times, but each time, with a "click" as the door opens, the light behind us rushes through the crack in the door, illuminating the corridor.
Looking at her own shadow, Shi Yin would still feel a moment of disorientation.
You trust me? Cooperating with me is a gamble. Even if I present irrefutable evidence, it doesn't prove I'm trustworthy.
Shi Yin remembered saying that at the time.
This is my gut feeling; my gut tells me I can trust you.
This is how the Consul General replied.
I've always been good at judging people. This isn't just luck; it's also a result of experience and ability, and it's a testament to my own capabilities.
