Chapter 41 Chapter 41 The Great Crisis of the Evil God
Yan Xunqing had just finished talking to Shen Run when the deputy captain came in with a stack of interrogation reports. "Captain Yan, these are the results of the third interrogation into the Happy Island cruise ship case." He frowned. "Just like the previous two times, they both lost their memories during the same period."
That night, after Chen Run launched the fireworks to announce the news, everyone on the cruise ship was attracted and ran to the deck. About ten minutes later, the patrol team arrived and found Chen Run, who had evolved into a mutant and had no additional genetic diseases.
The strange thing about this incident is that all the surviving suspects forgot what happened after they ran to the deck.
There must be a connection between everyone's simultaneous amnesia and Shen Run's acquisition of superpowers without side effects. If we can figure out what happened during this period, we might be able to find a way to cure the genetic disease.
Yan Xunqing tapped his knuckles on the desk, his voice sinking slightly. "Begin the fourth round of interrogation." He paused for a moment, then said, "You guys proceed. I remember the captain of the neighboring Su City has the ability to reconstruct cases. I've called him and asked him to come as soon as possible. In the meantime, don't stop your interrogation."
The deputy captain's face turned bitter.
Yan Xunqing raised his eyebrows slightly: "What?"
The deputy captain wiped his face and bravely spoke his heart out to his stern leader: "Captain, we've been working overtime for a week, even an iron man can't stand it. Can we take a break for the night?"
Fearing his superiors would disagree, he quickly said, "It's not just us, the prisoners are almost overwhelmed. Many of them are already seriously injured. If we continue the trial, they might actually die. What if we miss some important clues? Don't you agree?"
"In that case..." Yan Xunqing checked his watch. "Then let's rest for four hours and wait for Captain Chen from Su City to arrive."
The patrol team was exhausted these days. After receiving the notice to rest, they quickly arranged their shifts and took turns to rest.
——But the accident happened during the last shift handover.
Within just two minutes of signing in, all the prisoners died mysteriously with distorted expressions!
......
The patrol team's working hours were half past nine, and Chen Run arrived at the city team building on time. As soon as she stepped in, she felt that the atmosphere was a little off, and everyone was in a hurry and looked panicked.
It was such a mess here that Chen Run didn't rush to find Yan Xunqing, but instead found Mo Tao to ask about the situation: "What happened?"
——As an ordinary person, Mo Tao received psychological treatment for a few days in the patrol team after learning about the existence of people with superpowers. After confirming that she was not seriously injured, she signed a confidentiality agreement and was retained in the patrol team to do the work of organizing files.
"Something terrible happened late last night," Mo Tao glanced around and lowered his voice. "All those people we captured from the cruise ship died suddenly. The clues were cut off, and the team was thrown into chaos. This was a major incident, and Captain Yan was taken away for questioning."
This matter caused such a big stir that even ordinary people like Mo Tao knew about it. It would probably spread throughout the entire circle of superpowers in the Magic City soon, so she didn't shy away from it.
Chen Run opened his mouth wide: "Ah? How could this happen?"
"I don't know either. I think this is pretty bizarre..." Mo Tao was timid and couldn't help but wince as she spoke. "The interrogation just happened to reach a critical moment. Captain Yan discovered that the suspects' memories had been collectively tampered with. He had originally planned to ask a psychic who specializes in case recall to conduct a detailed investigation, but now all the clues are gone."
She reminded: "The patrol team will probably be in chaos for a while, and they probably won't have time to recruit non-staff members. Wait for Captain Yan to come back after the review."
Shen Run's memory flashed back, and he couldn't help but recall the scene of Chi Shuangliu saving him on the cruise ship.
When Yan Xunqing told her that she did not have a genetic disease, she guessed that it was probably Brother Chi who helped her. In her heart, Brother Chi had always been mysterious and powerful. Since he did not want to say it, Chen Run did not ask any more questions and did not mention it to anyone else.
But now, all the prisoners on the cruise ship have died... Could it be related to Brother Chi?
Although these people are not good people, they are under the supervision of laws and law enforcement agencies. It is not their turn to resort to lynching, right?
She felt that her understanding of Chi Ge had been overturned a little, and her heart was suddenly confused. She said a few vague words to Mo Tao and hurried back home with the information.
Chen Run couldn't hold back her words, especially to those she trusted and was close to. As soon as she opened the door, she asked a barrage of questions: "Brother Chi, something happened to the patrol team, and Captain Yan was taken away. Could it be you who did it?"
Cao Xun helped Chi Shuangliu customize dozens of new sets of clothes, suitable for various occasions throughout the year. He specially wore a white linen casual suit today and chose the best-lit position in the living room to wait for her to come back. He didn't expect her to say this as soon as she entered the room.
Chi Shuangliu's eyes immediately turned cold, and the smile on his lips seemed particularly hypocritical: "Who is Yan Xunqing to you? Why are you questioning me so much because of him?"
Chen Run: "..."
It turned out that after she spoke such a long sentence, he heard the three words "Yan Xunqing"!
She choked and couldn't catch her breath: "Is this the point? The point is whether the incident with the patrol team has anything to do with you?!"
The smile on Chi Shuangliu's lips faded, revealing a cold impatience: "Why do you think it was me? Just because I happened to be there that night and saved you? Why didn't those cults send high-level psychics to kill these accomplices in order to silence them?" This explanation was reasonable and impeccable.
As soon as he mentioned that he saved her that night, Shen Run immediately felt guilty.
Chi Shuangliu glanced at him, then lowered his eyelashes, saying sadly, "You doubt me just for something without any basis. If you don't trust me so much, why do you want to provoke me?"
Regardless of who provoked whom, Shen Run felt like a piece of shit when he accused her in such a tone. She quickly stepped forward and said, "No, no, I didn't mean that."
She was already confused by Chi Shuangliu at this moment, scratching the back of her head: "I heard that something happened to the patrol team, and I was a little anxious..."
Chi Shuangliu snorted somewhat coldly, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
......
At this moment, Lu Kuo is in a high-end private hospital in the United States.
The injuries he'd sustained from the psychic were gradually improving, and he was slowly regaining consciousness. At that moment, he was using his laptop to video call his father: "...The situation is more serious than we imagined. After I left, Cao Xun has gradually taken control of the Sun Umbrella Company's Chinese branch..."
He had a bitter expression: "What I didn't expect was that Chi Shuangliu was actually an intelligent creature..." There was even unspeakable fear in his eyes, and he even felt creepy: "He successfully deceived us for so long." It was because they believed that Chi Shuangliu was a non-intelligent creature that they did not destroy him immediately, but instead provided him with a breeding ground for healing.
The current situation is very clear. Cao Xun and Chi Shuangliu are in the same group. Although we don’t know what Chi Shuangliu is planning, he is obviously controlling Umbrella through Cao Xun and using the Leviathan company, Sun Umbrella, as a medium to influence the outside world.
He controlled Cao Xun, killed Louis, and took control of Monica. Cao Xun and Monica's families held nearly 30% of the shares of Sun Umbrella. Lu Kuo believed that it would not be long before Sun Umbrella Company would be completely swallowed up by Chi Shuangliu, and the Lu family's years of hard work would be destroyed.
Mr. Lu was silent for a long time. Lu Kuo took a deep breath and tried to soften his expression. "Logically, if he wanted to take control of the Sun Umbrella Company, he should have come to the United States to hunt me down and support Cao Xun as a puppet to replace me. But he didn't leave immediately. I guess he must have encountered trouble in China, or maybe he has entered a period of weakness..."
Mr. Lu asked in a deep voice, "What do you want to do?"
Lu Kuo's eyes flickered, as if he was struggling. After a long while, he slowly said, "I'm going to die anyway, so I want to give it a try." His voice was heavy, "Surround and kill Chi Shuangliu."
Mr. Lu's expression changed slightly, and he was about to speak when Lu Kuo unilaterally cut off the connection.
He pondered for a moment, then rang the bell for his assistant: "Contact Dr. Jiang..." He took a deep breath: "Seven years ago, I saved her lab from collapse. She said she owed me a favor. Can you ask her for me? Does she still hold true to her word now?"
Physics PhD Jiang Li, a Chinese American, is a super genius who earned his Ph.D. from California Institute of Technology at the age of sixteen.
At the same time, she is also the only S+ powerhouse recognized by all psychics in the world. Many people even think that her ability is the closest to that of a god.
The strength of her supernatural power lies in its connection with her profession. She can perceive the higher-dimensional world through physics, and can even use her supernatural power to pry open the higher-dimensional world and directly carry out dimensionality reduction attacks on the real world.
The assistant agreed, then hesitated: "Have you really decided to fight Chi Shuangliu on your own?"
He couldn't help but say, "Perhaps we can inform the Chinese authorities about Chi Shuangliu. China has the largest number of powerful people with special abilities. You know, many of the Chinese officials are probably as powerful as Dr. Jiang. They just keep a low profile because they work for the authorities. If the Chinese authorities knew about Chi Shuangliu's existence, they would definitely find a way to control him."
"No," Lu Kuo, a true capitalist, refused to change even at this critical moment. He frowned, "This matter must not be made known to the Chinese authorities, otherwise our entire family will be brought to court. If that happens, not only will the Sun Umbrella Company be lost, but the family's company stocks, real estate, minerals, jewelry, gold, and everything else will be plundered by those outsiders like hungry wolves."
He took a deep breath and said, "By then, what's the difference between me and being dead? I'd rather give it a try."
The assistant nodded softly and went down to help him contact Dr. Jiang.
......
Ever since blessing Chen Run, Chi Shuangliu has entered a relatively weak state. Due to restrictions, he is temporarily unable to devour the resources of this planet to speed up recovery and can only be nurtured slowly, which has also caused his perception to decline a lot.
Chen Run went to the supermarket to buy things, and Chi Shuangliu sat on the sofa and read a fashion magazine. Suddenly, his eyebrows moved and his body tried to teleport out.
——But it was too late.
The space of the entire rental house began to twist and deform, being stretched and squeezed like dough, and eventually turned into a space that could extend infinitely.
Chi Shuangliu tried to use his supernatural powers, but found that his body was restrained.
Dr. Jiang's famous skill, S+ ability, four-dimensional cage.
The next second, five or six figures appeared from the four-dimensional space. Lu Kuo stood behind several psychics and looked at Chi Shuangliu with a fearful expression: "Long time no see."
In addition to Dr. Jiang, he also invested a lot of resources to persuade four other combat-type strong S and close to S+ strongmen to participate in this operation.
Chi Shuangliu didn't look at him. His gaze fell directly on Dr. Jiang, who was wearing a white coat and protective goggles. He thought thoughtfully: "Can a three-dimensional creature really bear the cost of leveraging the brain to access higher dimensions?"
Dr. Jiang's pupils suddenly shrank, and spider-web-like blue veins spread from her forehead, as dense as a spider web.
She had a beautiful face, but now she looked indescribably evil and grotesque.
"The four-dimensional cage is limited to this room and can only trap him for fifteen minutes. Please hurry up. I've repaid the favor I owe you."
After saying this, Dr. Jiang tore open a gap in space without hesitation and turned to leave.
Although Jiang Li had said in advance that she would not take the initiative to help her kill people, it was still beyond Lu Kuo's expectation that she was so afraid of Chi Shuangliu. At least she could stay for a while to serve as a backup!
Unfortunately, there is no turning back once the arrow has been shot. Lu Kuo took the initiative to retreat to the corner and said in a deep voice: "Do it!"
......
Chen Run was busy grabbing discounted eggs and fruits from the supermarket and was delayed for a while before returning home.
The four-dimensional cage only blocks ordinary people, not people with special abilities, so she opened the door smoothly.
At this moment, she was holding two plates of eggs in her left hand, and in the vegetable basket on her right hand, green onions and white radishes could be seen. In the distorted four-dimensional space, she looked like a comedy character who had walked into the wrong set.
Lu Kuo and others: "..."
Chi Shuangliu couldn't help but: "..."
At this moment, Chi Shuangliu was half-kneeling with blood at the corner of his mouth.
But Lu Kuo's group was in an even worse situation. They all fell down, and some of them were seriously injured and looked like they were about to die.
It is obvious that both sides have suffered heavy losses in the fight and are now exhausted, and neither can do anything to the other.
Lu Kuo was almost going crazy. He used the only chance in his life to invite the strongest man, and spent a lot of money to invite four super-powered people to take charge, but it was still not enough to kill Chi Shuangliu. How strong is he!
If this siege fails, Chi Shuangliu will definitely kill him.
He can't lose, he absolutely can't lose.
Lu Kuo was extremely anxious and suddenly shouted loudly: "Chen Run!"
Although he didn't know how Chen Run suddenly became a superpower, he took advantage of this without hesitation: "Kill Chi Shuangliu quickly!"
Chen Run, who had no idea what was going on, asked: "???"
He spoke in a hurried tone, "He's a very dangerous mutant. Before this, he had already killed seven people with special abilities who were responsible for taking care of him. He didn't kill you before only because you were an ordinary person and posed no threat to him. Now that you've become a special ability, even if he doesn't kill you, he will definitely try every possible way to control and enslave you!"
Lu Kuo had dealt with her before and was quite familiar with her character, so he didn't mention any benefits or bonuses at all.
He said in a deep voice, "If he doesn't die now, when his strength is restored, he will definitely go on a killing spree, causing unrest in the entire world! Can you bear to see so many people suffer?"
His words were tailor-made for Shen Run. They made perfect sense and touched her heart.
Shen Run’s expression changed.
