"Do you know that this is all our fault?" Zhong Qing's mother roared hysterically.
“I can’t imagine what your father has gone through all these years, and I can’t forgive myself for the mistakes I made back then. Zhong Qing, I should hate you, but you are my son!”
Seeing her mother's tears streaming down her face, sometimes expressing resentment towards her, and sometimes showing deep love for her, she was overwhelmed with emotion.
Zhong Qing now truly understands that she was wrong back then.
"Mom, it was my fault. I should take responsibility. Don't do anything foolish." At this moment, Zhong Qing didn't care about the situation anymore.
She cried out.
But her mother shook her head: "You were too young back then to distinguish the truth. You just wanted to protect me, and you did nothing wrong. It was my fault for not listening to your father's explanation and for not wanting to know the truth. I shouldn't blame you."
“Son, I am already very happy that you have become a soldier of the Earth Alliance Army. I hope that... if you have the opportunity in the future, you can get your father’s forgiveness. I will not be able to stay with you anymore.”
Without hesitation, the woman turned and jumped off the building.
"Mom!" Zhong Qing shouted, almost wanting to use a holographic projection to travel through time and save his mother.
However, no matter how advanced modern technology becomes, it is impossible to travel through space.
Fortunately, just as Zhong Qing's mother jumped down, a police inspector rushed forward and grabbed her hand at the last second.
They forcibly dragged the person up.
But Zhong Qing's mother was still desperately crawling towards the edge: "Let me go, I'm a sinner, I deserve to die."
Communication was also cut off at this time.
Zhong Qing lay helplessly on the ground, as if all her energy had been drained.
Gu Zhilin couldn't bear it and returned some of his spiritual energy to him.
Only then did he have the strength to look up at Lu Jin'an and General Zhu.
To be honest, no one expected what just happened.
General Zhu had no idea that things would turn out this way, so he quickly waved and said, "Quickly take him to see his mother."
Then two soldiers stepped forward to help Zhong Qing up. Before leaving, Zhong Qing suddenly turned back and glanced at Gu Zhilin.
Then, refusing his comrade's help, he saluted Gu Zhilin and said, "Thank you."
Gu Zhilin said, "Go and see your mother quickly, and your father's leg can still be saved."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Qing's eyes lit up, and he urged his comrade to take him to see his mother.
The square was eerily quiet at this moment, because at first everyone just treated it as a play, but they never expected that a family member would jump off a building.
After a long while, Lu Jin'an spoke up: "Does anyone still doubt Gu Zhilin's predictive abilities?"
At this point, no one dared to say they had it anymore.
"You should have seen Zhong Qing's condition just now. Divination consumes a lot of mental energy, which is why I was injured this time."
After saying that, he scanned the entire room with his sharp eyes: "If any of you still don't believe it, you are welcome to use your spiritual power to try it for yourselves."
Everyone saw the scene where Zhong Qing could barely stand up. In such an agitated state, concerning the death of his mother, he would not have been unable to stand up if he had even the slightest bit of strength left.
The only reason you can't stand up is that you've exhausted too much of your mental energy.
No one dares to take such a risk lightly, but indeed, no one dares to doubt Gu Zhilin's abilities anymore.
Of course, not all of them are included; Shang Shixu stands below.
He looked at Gu Zhilin with a gloomy gaze. He had seen what had just happened very clearly, so his ability to predict was naturally undeniable.
But... as someone who went on the mission with Lu Jin'an, how could he not know Lu Jin'an's situation at the time?
It is definitely not a manifestation of mental exhaustion.
So what are they hiding?
However, he was certain that Gu Zhilin was not the mole, so he had no reason to continue pursuing the matter.
But... what methods did this person use to get Zhu Jiangshuai and Lu Jin'an to help him hide?
He still cares a lot about this.
Originally, I just wanted to do a simple self-proof, but I never expected it to save a life.
Gu Zhilin felt a little heavy-hearted.
Fortunately, people's attitudes toward me have improved a lot.
Finally, General Zhu made his final statement, saying that he would find and deal with the matter and those who spread the rumors.
Lu Jin'an took Gu Zhilin and left.
"Are you alright?" As soon as the two left the square, Lu Jin'an looked at Gu Zhilin with concern.
"Huh?" Startled by your sudden question, Gu Zhilin paused for a moment. "I'm fine! Why are you asking?"
You seem to be in a bad mood.
Gu Zhilin was stunned for a moment, not expecting that his little bit of emotion had been noticed by the other party.
"It's not that I'm in a bad mood, it's just... I feel a greater sense of reality about this world."
Lu Jin'an frowned: "?"
"You know, ever since I woke up, I haven't really felt a sense of reality about this world. The last time I felt a little bit of reality was when I met you all: Wen Yifan, Wen Yili, Jiang Jiyang, Shen Guannan, and Zeng Yan. We participated in the competition together. Later... after I differentiated, I felt like I had begun to integrate into this world."
"But... at this moment, I realized that this is a real world, where every family has its own problems, and everyone has their own story and their own life."
"Instead of NPCs."
Lu Jin'an found Gu Zhilin's statement quite interesting; if someone else had said it, he would most likely have thought that person was crazy.
But Gu Zhilin is different.
It's not just because I have a soft spot for him.
More importantly, he was an ancient person from a thousand years ago.
Such a person, appearing in modern society would be like someone from another time, and it would be normal for them to think that the people around them are NPCs.
He said with a hint of helplessness, "And what about me? Did you always think of me as an NPC?"
Gu Zhilin stiffened, suddenly realizing that he had never had such thoughts since he first met him.
However, he still smiled deliberately and said, "Then you are an NPC who gives rewards for completing quests."
Lu Jin'an wasn't surprised to receive such a reply, but she still felt somewhat disappointed.
Did I not treat them as true fellow human beings from the beginning?
The two chatted casually for a few minutes before returning to their dormitory.
As they arrived at the dormitory entrance, Gu Zhilin suddenly said, "By the way, Dr. Zhou asked me to take some time off to go to the Life Research Center. He said my estrus cycle is a bit abnormal and I need to get checked out."
Gu Zhilin still blushed a little when he talked about the term "heat period".
Lu Jin'an wasn't surprised by this: "You really should get it checked out. I'll go with you in two days."
"You're going too?" Gu Zhilin frowned. Even if they were partners, they didn't need to be so clingy.
"You forgot? The Martian assassin we caught last time is there too. I need to go check on the situation." Fearing that Gu Zhilin would notice something was wrong, Lu Jin'an calmly explained.
