Yang Ming, feeling embarrassed and angry at the stares of the crowd, said, "How can you blame me? If it weren't for that bastard Xiao Bai... sigh, never mind, he's dead, let's not talk about it."
He suddenly sighed again, his expression turning dejected once more.
"Alright, that's enough of a secret." Fang Xiu suddenly said, "By the way, you don't usually turn your phone off, do you?"
Yang Ming nodded: "If you could really go back in time and call me, I would definitely answer the call, because I have no sense of direction. When Xiaobai had the accident, I was driving in the mountains near Qingbei Town. My phone was connected to Bluetooth and had navigation on, so I would definitely be able to answer the call."
Fang Xiu nodded: "Wait for the call."
He then fell silent.
As he fell silent, the scene also quieted down.
Everyone watched him silently as time ticked by.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Suddenly, Fang Xiu spoke up: "Why are you all looking at me? Let's continue the meeting."
Everyone was instantly stunned.
Yang Ming couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Didn't you want to go back to the past? We're all waiting for you to take action."
Fang Xiu looked at him like he was an idiot: "When did I say I wanted to go back to the past now? And you don't think I'll just disappear like in the movies, do you?"
Everyone: "......"
To be honest, that's really what they thought.
"So when will you start?"
"No rush, the draw will be held at 8 PM tonight."
Yang Ming was immediately stunned: "Lottery draw? What lottery draw?"
"Alright, stop asking. Yang Ming, take this rambling madman to the solitary confinement room immediately. I'll be there shortly. He's already out of his mind and is probably about to lose control of his spirit," Wang Dehai suddenly said.
Yang Ming didn't want to do it, but then he saw Wang Dehai give him a wink.
So Yang Ming had no choice but to look at Fang Xiu and say, "Come with me."
Fang Xiu nodded and followed Yang Ming directly to the solitary confinement room without making any unnecessary moves.
After all, with his current strength, causing trouble in the Investigation Bureau would be no different from courting death.
In addition, he was well aware of Wang Dehai's thoughts, which was that regardless of whether what he said was true or false, this matter should not be exposed to the public.
If it's true, then the ability to go back in time and reverse the future is too sensational. Once it gets out, who knows what kind of uproar it will cause.
If it's fake, it would be the biggest laughing stock the Bureau of Investigation has made this year, and it's not something too many people should know about.
It was for this reason that Wang Dehai allowed Yang Ming to take him away.
Once in the solitary confinement room, Fang Xiu asked Yang Ming many questions about the Head Ghost and the Shadow Ghost, as well as information about Bai Qi.
It turns out that Bai Qi's ability is speed, possessing unimaginable speed that far surpasses that of others of the same level, giving him an absolute advantage whether he is attacking or escaping.
He once had the record of instantly killing a second-tier Spirit Master.
He also managed to escape from a powerful and bizarre pursuit.
That's why he and Yang Ming were allowed to act alone; Bai Qi could run away if he couldn't win.
As for Yang Ming, with his lucky ability, it's unlikely he'll die an unfortunate death.
Unfortunately, Bai Qi was limited by intelligence this time and failed to detect the presence of the Shadow Demon, which led to him being ambushed by the Shadow Demon.
Ordinary sneak attacks on Bai Qi are unlikely to succeed because he is very fast and has a fast reaction speed. But the Shadow Ghost is different. He hides in Bai Qi's shadow, and no matter how fast Bai Qi is, he can't shake off the shadow.
During Bai Qi's high-speed battle with the Headless Ghost, his shadow followed him closely, delivering a fatal blow at the crucial moment.
The two chatted for a long time, but Fang Xiu didn't manage to extract much useful information.
Although Yang Ming appears rugged and carefree, he is actually very discreet in his speech. He won't reveal anything he shouldn't, since he still can't be sure if Fang Xiu can reverse the future.
About an hour later, Wang Dehai appeared in the confinement room with Shen Lingxue.
"Fang Xiu, what exactly is your purpose? What do you want to do with Yang Ming?" Wang Dehai asked directly after arriving.
"There are still three hours left. After the draw, everything will be clear," Fang Xiu said calmly.
"The lottery results? Didn't you say your ability was to foresee the future? Why is it now about reversing the future?"
"What's the difference? If I foresee the future and then make corresponding changes, isn't that, in a way, the same as changing the future? For example, if I foresee that I will be hit by a car and die if I go out today, then as long as I don't go out, I won't die in the future."
Seeing Fang Xiu's confident assertion, Shen Lingxue couldn't help but interject, "But now that Deputy Captain Bai is dead, this matter is definitely an unchangeable past. You are in the present, how can you change the past?"
"Oh?" Fang Xiu glanced at her indifferently and asked in return, "What makes you so sure this is the present? Is it possible that you, Yang Ming, and all of them, including myself, don't actually exist, and everything now is just the future as seen through the eyes of my past self?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Lingxue and the others were all stunned, overwhelmed by a sense of absurdity.
"We...don't exist?"
Yang Ming asked in a strange tone, "Do you want to hear what you're saying?"
Fang Xiu closed his eyes to rest and said nothing more.
An odd atmosphere permeated the room between the three.
Fang Xiu's words seemed absurd and nonsensical, but for some reason, upon closer reflection, they felt a faint sense of dread.
