In the eyes of the dozen or so people in the circus, Qin Tan had become the forbidden fruit.
Driven by a desire to taste the forbidden fruit, they defied the threat of death's scythe and swarmed towards Qin Tan.
In their confused state, Qin Tan's shouts could not rouse them.
Qin Tan could only knock the opponent unconscious when they got close.
Human tissues are like a finely tuned machine; if a single part is damaged, the body can temporarily enter a dormant state.
As more and more people collapsed at her feet, the space became empty.
After Qin Tan knocked Bank down, she looked at the apple tree.
Without the cover, the eyes of the black snake with its forked tongue flicking out on the plastic-textured treetop revealed a spiritual gleam.
The Grim Reaper's scythe pierced the air, cleaving the snake in two.
In that instant, black smoke billowed from everyone in the room, and they stopped their frantic actions and fainted.
If you look closely, you'll see that the red rashes on their bodies are fading.
The black smoke did not dissipate; instead, it solidified in the air.
A blurry human figure appeared in front of Qin Tan.
The other party must have cut themselves into many pieces to prevent Qin Tan from noticing anything unusual about these people when she arrived.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Upon seeing Qin Tan, the other party initiated a conversation, amidst billowing black smoke, making them impossible to discern.
"Who are you?"
As Qin Tan asked, the Grim Reaper's Scythe continued its attack.
However, the opponent did not have a real physical body, and the black smoke quickly reassembled after being dispersed by the Grim Reaper's Scythe.
However, this attack is not ineffective.
The Reaper's Scythe, combined with the energy of the Black Crow, planted a curse on the opponent's soul.
Perhaps because of the distance between them, the curse, though faint, was real.
The other party sensed it too, but didn't take it seriously.
"We come from the same place."
The voice coming from the black smoke was male, but the face formed by the black smoke kept changing, sometimes male, sometimes female, young and old.
“I am different from you.”
Qin Tan retorted: "Are you one of the remnants of the past?"
Such methods of alienation are beyond the reach of the Abyss Church, let alone those who are no longer in Wangcheng.
"Yes, we are people of the past."
"We are our compatriots who were once abandoned by you."
"We have found our own path, and together we will build a new city-state."
"The old world needs to be destroyed."
The man made a solemn vow, and black smoke sprouted hands that stretched out to the sides.
"But the world you want to destroy is the place we depend on for survival."
The "old world" these people are talking about is the current Federation.
"It's them, not you."
"Qin Tan, you still don't believe that you and they are different?"
"Your power system does not originate from the contamination of the abyss's surface, but from a much deeper level."
"Qin Tan, stop hesitating and stop deceiving yourself. Join us."
The patient and persuasive voice was just like that of the painter.
Qin Tan really thought she was some kind of hot commodity, that anyone could want to take a bite out of her.
But just as the other party said, the more she exerted her power, the more she could feel her own difference.
Compared to those with superhuman abilities, she seems to have fewer constraints.
The growth of power seemed endless.
Qin Tan didn't know what awaited her at the end, but one thing she was very clear about.
"I am a human being."
She emphasized that.
She was born into this world in human form, and she returned to the human world in human form.
"hehe."
"Innocent child."
"Some things cannot be forgotten just because you choose to forget them."
"Haven't you already noticed?"
"The Thirteenth Hospital, so you're hiding your secret."
"If you want to know the truth, go to the Thirteenth Hospital."
"When you remember everything, we'll meet in District One."
The wisps of black smoke, impossible to catch, calmly dissipated before Qin Tan's eyes.
All of this today is an invitation extended by the other party to convey these words to Qin Tan.
Or perhaps it's a game.
Hearing the familiar name of the Thirteenth Hospital again stirred up a flood of emotions in Qin Tan.
That memory has faded considerably with the passage of time.
But she remembers that when she woke up after being in a coma in the hospital for a year and returned to society, everything in the outside world was unfamiliar to her.
The memory clearly exists.
It was as if there was an invisible barrier between them.
The whole world is rejecting her.
It took her a long time to readjust to the world and eventually become like everyone else.
Going to school, living, working...
After Qin Tan reported the situation, she called for medical staff.
The circus performers are all in good health. After the check-up, they will be able to perform as scheduled tomorrow.
When Qin Tan returned to Liming Shu, she saw Xia Shuang waiting for her.
At this time, many people have already left work.
The office was brightly lit, and Qin Tan sat opposite the other person.
You must have noticed, right?
Xia Shuang suddenly said.
“Your intuition is sharper than anyone I’ve ever met; you’re a natural-born warrior.”
Xia Shuang's praise was so straightforward.
"You and the bureau chief are both leaving."
This is not a question, but a statement of fact.
During this period, Qin Tan gradually handed over the tasks she was in to Lin Zhisui and others.
The same applies to Director Wu Liming.
Her impression of the bureau chief was based solely on these two encounters.
