Chapter 72
"It is very difficult to gain the trust of others, but the person who contacted Liu Zheyu claimed to be a 'superior human' with many high-level superpowered individuals under his command."
"They are keen on creating terrorist incidents to force ordinary people to evolve, increase their companions, and eliminate those who are not qualified."
"After Liu Zheyu joined the group, they presented the terrifying events they planned as prophecies to the time traveler, and then used the time traveler to relay them to the members of the mutual aid association."
"The prophecy came true, and the victims willingly sold their possessions and offered their savings. Liu Zheyu transferred the collected funds to his superiors in order to obtain detailed information about terrorist incidents from time to time, and to save people and improve his attributes."
"So far, Liu Zheyu's physical attributes have risen to 4, and his family's hereditary disease has been cured. However, he is too deeply involved and can no longer extricate himself."
“Someone wants to kill him and take his place as a henchman of ‘higher humans.’ People who have contacted him before will also plan small assassinations from time to time, not to kill him, but to warn him to behave himself and not to have any other thoughts.”
"According to Liu Zheyu, he always wore a cloak and used a voice changer whenever he met with the time traveler. He thought he was well hidden and that even if something happened, he wouldn't be implicated. He never expected that he would end up falling into your hands."
Yunxin guessed there was more to the story, but she didn't expect so much to have happened behind the scenes.
"Has the investigation been completed? How many people were scammed?"
There was a suspicious pause on the other end before a number was announced: "1,524, involving more than 1 billion yuan. They've not only scammed people in our city, but also in other cities, committing crimes across different regions."
Yunxin: ? ? ?
Assuming the ability to travel through time is real, even if you notify 4 people a day... it would take a year to notify all 1524 people!
"Too many accidents have happened in recent months. Many people have suffered misfortune, losing their legs or arms. Others have lost loved ones and friends. They desperately hope that the time traveler's ability is real, so even if they sense something is wrong, they will deliberately ignore it. Some victims have even taken the initiative to help cover up the lie."
As they were talking, they couldn't continue, probably because they felt the whole thing had gone too far.
"In short, that's the whole story. Thank you again for catching the main culprit in the fraud case."
Yun Xin, "..."
In the workplace, if a boss wants to fire someone but doesn't want to cause a scene, they will find another excuse and not reveal the real reason.
But what can she do when her superpower is "super perception"? Sensing that her boss was lying and that there was something wrong with him, she bravely took action.
Liu Zheyu's arrest was purely due to his bad luck.
The call has ended.
The lie detector expert sighed and turned back to his work. Liu Zheyu revealed more than just this; there were also scumbags calling themselves "superior humans" plotting to release poison gas in the subway station, creating a large-scale terrorist incident.
The reason for informing Liu Zheyu was to give him the opportunity to stop and manipulate the reviews.
However, no one expected that Liu Zheyu would be exposed and arrested.
So, as everything proceeded in full swing, the federal government learned of the matter.
"Are you sure it's today?" the head of the special rescue department asked.
"It's today, and the operation will take place at 5 PM during the evening rush hour," the hypnotist said. "The perpetrators plan to release poison gas at four subway stations, and Liu Zheyu only knows one of the addresses."
Someone nearby added, "A person with psychic abilities used divination to select three subway stations from the cards with the station names written on them. They then sent people to lie in ambush beforehand, so they could catch them like turtles in a jar, and also capture the person who instructed Liu Zheyu."
"Alright! Now, allocate manpower..."
The person in charge divided the combat force into four equal parts and sent them to different subway stations.
Xiao Wei had a stern face and was filled with a murderous aura.
A new team member whispered, "Is it because our team has the fewest members that the leader is unhappy?"
The veteran team member cruelly laid bare the reality: "No, he's just in a bad mood because he couldn't leave work on time today."
Just after five o'clock.
Xiao Yu strode briskly into the subway station.
Although he hasn't been in the workforce for long, his mindset is already that of an older person.
Going to work every day feels heavier than going to a funeral.
I'm half-dead at work, but full of energy after get off work.
The time I look forward to most every day is 5 pm! Because their company lets out at 5 pm, and after 5 pm means personal time.
What should I do when I get home? Play video games? Watch TV series? Read novels?
Xiao Yu is caught in a happy dilemma.
I didn't waste the time waiting for the subway; I took out my phone and played a few rounds of Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game) to satisfy my craving.
After waiting a while, the subway came to a stop in front of him with a whooshing sound.
After finishing a game, Xiao Yu didn't start a new one immediately. Instead, he waited until he got on the subway, found a seat, and sat down before starting a new game.
The subway continued its journey.
Xiao Yu spends most of his time playing Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game) with his head down, only occasionally glancing up during matchmaking breaks to see where he is.
Then one day, when he looked up, he saw a passenger getting off the bus but leaving their belongings inside. He immediately panicked, "Hey!! You left your things!"
Upon hearing his shout, the other person not only did not stop, but lowered their head and quickened their pace to walk away.
Xiao Yu was stunned, completely dumbfounded.
If he weren't certain that the item belonged to that person, he would have doubted whether he had contacted the wrong person.
Calm down, and then I thought, could it be garbage?
Did the other person litter, and you felt embarrassed when you noticed, so you ran away in silence?
Thinking about it that way, it's not impossible.
Xiao Yu wondered if standing up and throwing the trash into the bin would be considered meddling.
Before he could figure it out, outside the subway, the person who left was tackled and held down by several people, and was even handcuffed.
Inside the subway, the two walked over to the "leftover trash" and examined it carefully. After one of them nodded, the other quickly put the "trash" into a sealed container.
The series of actions were so strange that they were completely baffling.
Xiao Yu was about to ask what all these people were doing when his vision blurred and everything went black.
Before he collapsed, he saw the passenger next to him clutching his chest and coughing violently.
"It's sarin gas, a nerve agent."
"It is colorless, invisible, and odorless. It can enter the human body through respiration or through the skin and conjunctiva of the eye, and inhibits enzymes in the body, thereby damaging the nervous system."
"After inhaling the toxic gas, symptoms such as constricted pupils, difficulty breathing, bronchial constriction, and severe convulsions will appear. In severe cases, death by suffocation can occur within minutes. Even if rescue is timely and the patient survives, there is still a possibility of damage to the nerves, brain, and liver afterward."
The investigator looked grave. “The perpetrators boarded the subway with containers filled with poison gas, then found a suitable opportunity to puncture the containers and leave, causing other passengers to be harmed by inhaling the poison gas.”
"What about the casualties?" The person in charge asked with a grim expression and a heavy heart.
The investigator replied, "The suspects have all been apprehended. The other three subway stations are fine; the gas was contained, passengers were evacuated, and the situation is under control. At one subway station, the perpetrators poked multiple holes in the container before leaving, and many passengers were immediately affected by the gas; they have now been taken to the hospital for treatment."
"He's vicious and must be severely punished!" The person in charge was furious, wishing he could tear the criminal apart with his bare hands.
The investigators thought to themselves, "The citizen who rode the same subway train as the criminal is really unlucky."
It was a normal day; I finished work as usual and took public transportation home as usual.
Who knows what someone might leave behind in the subway?
If you don't happen to arrive at your stop and go out with the others, you'll have to stay in the subway and breathe in toxic fumes.
Unfortunately, this matter is not something that can be publicized.
Even if we stop them this time, the criminals will plan another attack. Only by catching them can we solve the problem once and for all.
Therefore, they could not warn the criminals in advance, so they had to silently lay the plan and catch them on the spot!
Unfortunately, the perpetrators were so malicious that they poked several holes in the container, accelerating the evaporation of the poisonous gas and causing several people to be poisoned.
Fortunately, all the perpetrators were apprehended. The victim's symptoms were mild and not life-threatening, which is a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
The investigator was secretly pleased, but then he heard someone say in a deep voice, "No, this isn't over yet. It's still very dangerous here."
The investigator paused for a moment, then blurted out, "Liu Zheyu said that four subway stations would be targeted with poison gas. We have indeed arrested four people and found four containers."
Xiao Wei shook his head slowly but firmly, "Liu Zheyu was arrested for a day and a night. How can you be sure that the plan didn't change at all during that time?"
The investigators were speechless.
"What are your thoughts?" the person in charge asked.
"Evacuate everyone immediately. Everyone else, arm yourselves and be on guard." With that, Xiao Wei, with a clear objective, strode forward and headed straight for a certain place.
The investigator was puzzled. "What's wrong with him?"
The person in charge said quietly, "Since superpowers can be used in a positive way, they can also be used in a negative way. Normally, if you know where there is danger, try to avoid it and run to a safe place. If necessary, do the opposite; the place where the sense of danger is the strongest is where the accident will occur."
Upon hearing this, the investigator felt a chill run down his spine and was inexplicably horrified.
"Isn't he... isn't he afraid?" the investigator stammered.
The person in charge did not speak.
Xiao Wei lacks reverence for life. He doesn't care about other people's lives, nor does he care about his own.
He just cares about leaving work on time!
Thinking of this, the person in charge's expression turned resentful, with a hint of envy.
A moment later, Xiao Wei dragged the two back and threw them on the ground like trash. "Two of their four attributes are 6+ and two are 3+, almost without any weaknesses. They were hiding in a corner preparing to ambush me. I found them and knocked them unconscious."
The person in charge's expression changed drastically, and his voice was almost a roar, "Notify the other subway stations to arrange for everyone to evacuate!"
Poison gas is just a tactic used to attack; the real killer move is superpowers!!
But it was too late; they couldn't contact people at other subway stations.
The person in charge wanted to send reinforcements, but found that the four subway stations were far apart from each other.
"Damn it! This was all planned from the start!"
The person in charge realized what was happening and began to curse.
Even so, everyone went off separately to provide support, hoping that their colleagues could hold out as long as possible, ideally until the others arrived.
Because of his special combat abilities, Xiao Wei was granted permission to go alone.
When he ran all the way to the nearest subway station where the incident occurred, a strong smell of blood hit him.
Looking around, there were injured people lying all over the ground, it was hard to tell whether they had fainted or stopped breathing.
Not far away, superpowered individuals were fighting.
One person was knocked to the ground and temporarily incapacitated.
In the blink of an eye, the lying policeman suddenly sprang to life, shoved a pistol into the other man's mouth, and swiftly pulled the trigger.
A gunshot rang out, the bullet pierced the back of the opponent's head, and the opponent fell to the ground.
The policeman laughed loudly, "Your skin can withstand bullets, but your insides can't! You weakling, you deserve to die at my hands!"
After saying that, he fell to the ground, his expression gradually freezing.
He died with his eyes wide open, as if to make sure the other person with superpowers wouldn't get up again.
Xiao Wei couldn't quite describe the feeling in her heart.
He strode forward, lifted his opponent, who was wrestling with one of his own superpowered companions, with one hand, and snapped the opponent's neck in the next second.
The superpowered individual on their side lay on the ground, panting heavily, watching helplessly as the superpowered individual they couldn't defeat died in less than three seconds at Xiao Wei's hands.
His eyes widened, his heart pounded, and he felt incredibly fortunate.
Thank goodness they were friendly forces!!
