"Sorry, I don't want to, no time, thank you."
At the dock area, Ai Qing coldly rejected the man who kept pestering her to treat her to a meal and pushed her wheelchair past the cordon.
The man who caught up was stopped by the police at the scene of the explosion. He awkwardly touched his nose and returned without success.
"Wow, what a cold-hearted person."
Yoo Dong-ri leaned against the wall and sighed, "Don't always be so heartless, Miss Ai. If you ask me, it's not bad to have a spare tire."
Ai Qing's wheelchair stopped next to him.
The girl looked at him expressionlessly until he was a little scared and unconsciously looked away. Then she slowly said, "If I have a little self-awareness about my situation, then I should first understand one thing: no one will truly fall in love with a rich cripple."
"Uh …"
Yoo Dong-ri was stunned for a long time before he reluctantly smiled, "Don't say that, you are so beautiful. Besides, love is always unreasonable."
"Yes, so I won't be reasonable."
Ai Qing looked at him, "And I have money.
I'm the one who's paying you to work, and you're currently under investigation by the Astronomical Society. It's best if you don't tell your inspector about how you got rich. "
Yoo Dong-ri shrugged helplessly and stopped talking. He obediently followed behind her and did his job as a thug and bodyguard, which was not very promising.
After a night of heavy rain, the scene at the dock was beyond recognition. The original clues were also messed up because of the stupid actions of some people.
The scene of the explosion was a half-collapsed warehouse. There was mud everywhere, seven or eight containers had been burned into molten iron, and a part of the ash mixed with blood was smeared on the ground …
"You did a great job."
Ai Qing nodded and praised.
"… Are you being sarcastic?" Yoo Dong-ri asked.
"No, it's a serious compliment."
Ai Qing raised her eyebrows and said happily, "These kinds of vicious incidents involving relics from the border are often strange and difficult to deal with. God knows where there are clues. If I can't solve it, it will become a stain on my record during the assessment.
Now that someone has taken the initiative to take the blame, I don't need to take any responsibility at all. When the bureau comes to question me, I'll let those idiots who think they're smart take the blame. "
"…"
Yoo Dong-ri's eyes twitched. He didn't know what to say. In any case, compared to this kind of quagmire of secret struggle, he, a cowherd, had become as pure as an angel.
At this time, Ai Qing's phone vibrated.
There was information.
She looked down and was stunned, as if she was thinking about something.
After a long time, he turned off the phone screen.
"What's wrong?" Yoo Dong-ri asked.
"We found a few more corpses. They were all homeless people with drug convictions." Ai Qing's fingers deftly spun the phone as she sighed mockingly. "I don't know how long they were tortured before they died. Tsk tsk, what a tragic death."
"You're going to the morgue again?"
Yoo Dong-ri sighed helplessly and touched his face. It wasn't good for his skin to go to the morgue all the time.
"Why would I hurt my eyes for no reason?"
Ai Qing turned her wheelchair around and said calmly, "Since we've seen the scene, let's go home. When they're in a terrible fix, I'll be merciful and come out to save them. "
Yoo Dong-ri was stunned.
"… You already have a clue?"
"Coming here is just a process. The real things to pay attention to can be understood after a brief look at the scene and the forensic report.
The goods in the container were electronic products destined for Europe. The customs company was a shell company. If we investigate further, we won't find anything other than a scapegoat.
Looking at the traces at the scene, we know that a group of people who profited from the border relics were fighting in the warehouse … The specific reason is probably because of the uneven distribution of the loot. What happened later is the reason we took over the case … "
These are all things that can be understood after a brief look at the report. What I'm more concerned about is this … "
Ai Qing reached out and two slender fingers took out a small bag of powder from the belt of the wheelchair.
"What's this?"
Yoo Dong-ri was now perfectly adapted to his role as the supporting character.
"A hallucinogen found at the scene, a new type of drug." Ai Qing said, "The test results from the technical department are out. There's a source in it, which means …"
"This was made by the box-shaped border relics?!"
Yoo Dong-ri felt a chill. If it could cause such a bad impact, then the severity of this incident would probably escalate.
Ai Qing said faintly, "If I report this news after a while, those old guys who have been secretly making things difficult for me will have a very interesting ending, right?"
"… Wait!"
Yoo Dong-ri suddenly felt a chill at the back of his head, "You're telling me so confidently? Aren't you afraid that I'll tell others? You're not going to silence me, are you? "
"I'll only tell you if you tell others."
Ai Qing casually shook the small bag at her fingertips and said casually, "Haven't you always been very proud of your communication skills? Then quickly go and tell them that their lives are in my hands. If they want to continue living happily as vermin, please hurry up and wag your tails before me and beg for mercy … "
F * ck!
Yoo Dong-ri couldn't help but want to slap himself. Why did he have to ask so many questions? No, why did he have to laugh at her just now?
But in the end, in less than ten minutes, he was caught in her trap.
Wasn't this woman's desire for revenge a bit too strong?
After a long period of shock and regret, Yoo Dong-ri keenly discovered the biggest problem, "But even if they're willing to lower their heads, you still need to have the confidence to solve this matter, right?"
"Who says I don't have it?"
Ai Qing turned her head. Although she didn't smile, her eyes were full of mockery, "But, do you really want to know?"
Sorry, I don't want to know at all!
Yoo Dong-ri's expression twitched, and he extinguished the last bit of probing. This woman is really terrible …
.
.
"I want to!"
In Huai Shi's house, the youth nodded in response to Crow's question and answered without hesitation.
Do you desire to have a soul?
Most people would hesitate when faced with this kind of sudden question and demon-like temptation, but he didn't even pause for a moment.
After experiencing the strange events of the past few days and understanding his own situation, he became a bit more courageous. If he couldn't pass this level, he would die anyway, so what was there to be afraid of?
Although he didn't know what a soul was, this didn't stop Huai Shi from desiring one. Not only that, he also desired money, power, and children … … But then again, shouldn't everyone have a soul?
Crow asked back, "In fairy tales, everyone has a happy ending. Do you really believe that?"
She was a bit unhappy that she didn't get to enjoy the tangled up scene that she had anticipated. Even her explanation became less and less enthusiastic, "The difference between a normal person and a Ascended person is the existence of a soul.
In the current era, there exists a creation called the 'Silver Sea'. No, it should be said that it's a natural source of energy. It's also known as a perpetual motion machine, and is one of the sources that created this enormous world.
And its true core is the Silver Sea formed by the projection of all human Origin Substances. It's said that the formless sea is unimaginably vast, and all human intelligence is just a branch that flowed out from it.
Stepping onto the path of Ascension, allowing one's iron and stone nature to pass through the Silver Sea and ascend to a Golden Soul — — this is the original goal of alchemy.
Only in this way can people possess a soul and be crowned with the title of 'Ascended person'.
Otherwise, one's cognition and consciousness can only be carried by the strands of sparks in the synapses of the brain, unable to deal with the darkness and storms outside of the present realm … … "
"You keep talking about the present realm and the borders. Is there another world?" Huai Shi interrupted.
"From a certain point of view, yes, and not just one, but tens of thousands …" The crow laughed eerily, "However, this is not something you should be concerned about right now. You should think about how to awaken your soul first."
"… …" Huai Shi could only listen attentively.
"Currently, the Astronomy Association is in charge of guarding the Silver Sea. Based on the precipitation rate of all human Origin Substances, there will be about three to four hundred spots every year. But this isn't your turn. Before it comes out, it will be divided up by the various branches of the Administration. The list is scheduled until ten years later … … In reality, most Ascended people don't rely on the Astronomy Association's special permission, but rather on their own to awaken. This is the path you need to take. "
Huai Shi swallowed and nodded seriously, "And then?"
"For others, this process is naturally extremely difficult. For a modern person to leave the city and seek survival in the wilderness is even more dangerous. It's like taking a rocket with very little reserves and flying out of the atmosphere — — not only do you have to break free from the pull of the Silver Sea, but you also have to face all kinds of accidents and challenges. No one knows what awaits you.
If you want to succeed, you can't lack strength and luck, but even if you have both, it can't be said to be perfect.
Not only do you need an abundance of Origin Substances, but you also need a bit of luck … … Often, it's like winning the lottery, difficult to replicate. Fortunately, there are so many people, so there will always be one or two who succeed. "
"Then what about the ones who fail?" Huai Shi asked.
Crow seemed to smile, but didn't say anything. Huai Shi felt a chill in his heart.
"But don't worry, you don't need to worry about this problem."
She raised her wings and patted Huai Shi on the shoulder. "You're blessed by the heavens, young man. With the Book of Destiny in your hands, you have the path to the heavens under your feet.
Others are like Icarus, but you're like a ladder. You're very stable! "
"Then … … what do I have to do?"
"It's very simple," Crow said. "You just have to go and kill people."
"If you do it yourself, the Book of Destiny's records will definitely be more specific, right? Not only that, if you kill one, you'll be able to obtain that person's skill. If you kill ten, you'll become a fully deserving genius. As long as you have it, the more people you kill, Huai Shi, the stronger you'll become. "
She whispered into the youth's ear, "Aren't there so many people who look down on you? You must hate them to death in your heart, right? Not only your classmates and teachers, but also your parents who abandoned you … … This world hasn't been good to you, so why treat it with kindness? "
Huai Shi was stunned.
Ah, you're really scared, aren't you?
For a moment, Crow felt joy, but when Huai Shi raised his head, she saw a trace of … … surprise in his eyes?
"Really?" Huai Shi didn't dare to believe it. "You just have to kill people?"
"… …"
"Then let's start with Li Wuyang."
Huai Shi said with a finger. "Who told him to always show off his good father and good uncle to me? The rich are heartless, damn it! There's also that woman who's flirting with him, the two of them have probably been together for a long time … … The English teacher is the third, always making sarcastic remarks about me in class … … Oh right, there's also that damn fatty who thinks I stole his money. His brother isn't a good person either, always getting into fights at school. I'm getting rid of evil for the people, right? Lao Yang, that stinking middleman also needs to die. I work so hard to go out to work, but he casually moves his mouth and takes 20% of my share … … "
As he spoke, Huai Shi raised his head and looked at her expressionlessly.
"— — They all deserve to die because they've all offended me, right?"
