This was not only because there seemed to be some problems with his memory, but also because he thought of another incident, something that happened not long ago.
Councillor Nia once told herself that she was very much like her father and was worthy of being his son.
However, as a member of parliament, it is impossible for him not to know about adoption through formal channels.
Although the other party did not say it explicitly, the meaning revealed in his words was that he and his father were of the same bloodline, and he was completely guiding them in the direction of a normal father and son relationship.
Why did she say that?
Luke fell into thought.
As time went by, the adoption certificate in my hand became wrinkled little by little.
Luke understood the meaning of Nia's words:
She was trying to rekindle the relationship between herself and her father, using emotional impulses to maintain her desire for revenge and prevent herself from giving up halfway.
A crunching sound echoed in the narrow space, coming from Luke's clenched teeth.
Luke felt a surge of anger at the thought of the woman using such a crude lie to deceive him and prevent him from having her transformation surgery.
This is not because he was deceived, but because, from this perspective, the other party never believed that he had the determination to persevere to the end, did not believe that his adopted child would have firm beliefs, and did not believe that he would be able to maintain the anger of avenger after knowing the true relationship with his father.
What kind of contempt is this?
In the darkness, Luke's eyes were bloodshot, and his hands trembled slightly as he folded the relationship certificate and stuffed it into his trouser pocket.
He decided to start moving tonight. One day he would come to Nia and tell her in person -
"You underestimated my faith and overestimated your own abilities."
---
"If I were him, where would I go?"
This problem has troubled Shi Jin for several days and has even become a thorn in his side, making Shi Jin feel uncomfortable all the time.
During this period, she felt for the first time the same feeling of powerlessness she had when doing reading-type questions in school.
Is it possible to judge the current condition of a person who may still be alive based on past information and data?
Hard to say.
Although he had his own office in the central spire, the areas that Shi Jin could enter and exit freely were still very limited.
The central spire is fundamentally different from the buildings outside.
Although he had not taken a close look at the building's exterior, Shi Jin could feel many differences just from his daily work.
Surveillance cameras that are almost integrated into the walls, floors and walls that seem to be between metal and non-metal, and too many identity access controls to be annoying.
So much so that whenever Shi Jin heard the words "Ding, the authority is too low", he would always feel impatience and curiosity about the upper level.
Yes, upper level.
Everyone who can enter and exit the central spire will receive an access card with a chip bound to their identity.
Everyone has a corresponding level of authority. If the authority is insufficient, the upper space will not be open to the staff.
Even as a shadow of a congressman, Shi Jin had to submit an application in advance on the equipment in the room if he wanted to meet Nia.
Such technology and such complexity shocked the young man who had only repaired factory machinery.
It seems that the inside and outside of the spire are completely different worlds.
Shi Jin didn’t know how long he had been sitting there, but his waist was aching.
This is also one of the sequelae of being transferred to this position. Before, I was either in training or on duty. Now, Shi Jin always feels uncomfortable after sitting for a long time.
Just as she was thinking about whether to take a short break, she heard a faint conversation outside the office:
"It's about three o'clock, time to take a break..."
Is it already past three o'clock?
Shi Jin was slightly shocked and then decided to go out for a walk.
Anyway, it doesn’t matter if there is not enough time, because Shi Jin has developed another way to use his ability.
By stacking his abilities [Fleeting] and [Slow Time], Shi Jin is able to extend the time in a small area by dozens of times.
Even if there were only five minutes left until the deadline, she could stretch it to more than an hour.
Thinking of this, she decided to go out for a walk.
The corridor of the spire was actually very quiet, and the conversation just now was a low-probability event.
When Shi Jin walked out of the room, he found two colleagues working in other rooms talking in low voices.
These two people seemed to be the ones who had just helped Shi Jin make up his mind to slack off.
Shi Jin didn't deliberately listen to their conversation, but the voice still reached her ears -
"Do you know where the Second Archives Room is? I've never been there."
"Why did you mention the Second Archives? I remember that the things in there are usually not read by anyone."
"It seems someone has seen it. The order to retrieve the files has been sent to me. I heard it is a case outside and they need to investigate the sewers."
"You mean, there are people in the sewers? That's impossible. A place like that..."
"Who can say for sure? Anyway, you know where it is. Come with me after get off work..."
The two people walked further and further away, and their voices became increasingly blurred.
Shi Jin listened in a disjointed manner and suddenly felt that he seemed to have never thought about the sewer problem.
Hope City is built on a plain near the sea. For this area without a steep slope, the sewer not only has the responsibility of discharging domestic sewage, but also needs the water brought by the heavy rains every summer.
However, Shi Jin had seldom seen any repairs on sewer pipes since he was a child, as if such things did not exist or would never be damaged.
When Shi Jin thought about the fact that he had not discovered this problem before, he felt that he was still lacking in investigation.
This lack of brain power cannot be compensated by strong abilities.
Afterwards, whether it was to help the councillor Nia or for the mission of the Holy Fire Meow Meow Cult, Shi Jin planned to read more case files to strengthen his ability in this area.
But that’s all in the past.
As soon as he realized his blind spot in thinking, Shi Jin ended his slacking off and returned to the office.
She briefly reported the problems she had discovered to Nia, then put on her combat uniform, took her stun gun and pistol, and left the central spire.
Shi Jin had never seen the outside of the spire because she had never actually entered through the main entrance.
After passing through a long corridor, Shi Jin walked out from the underground secret door of the Wager Chemical Plant.
As it was getting dark, Shi Jin put on a loose coat and blended into the crowd at the chemical plant black market.
