Unusual Fate Records

Chapter 341, Section 33: Frank Talk (Part 3)

Chen Ruolan swallowed hard, shrank her neck, and said, "This thing looks so weird..."

Qi Tongshan sighed softly and said, "Put it away and let's get down to business first."

Jin Ziyue nodded and put his mask away.

Chen Ruolan was curious and kept staring at the inside of his clothes, but she couldn't see any protrusions at all.

Qi Tongshan said solemnly:

"As you can see, the other party also has a mask similar to yours, except that the other party's mask is a crying face. This person is the current leader of the organization."

Jin Ziyue and Fu Xun exchanged a glance, and the coldness in each other's eyes was palpable.

"This person is very mysterious and has a variety of methods. At least in the early stages of the group chat, this person made me very uncomfortable."

Qi Tongshan recalled, "He was like an ambitious person with a strong ability to incite others, gradually forming a small group within the group."

"Later, I felt that the atmosphere of mutual help and communication in the group was gone, so I stopped paying attention to those things and simply left the group."

"Later, as you all know, the NA organization suddenly appeared and became active in dark operations across the various regions. They do not distinguish between races; humans and White Walkers coexist. In the end, they all have one thing in common: they are exiles from another world."

"They included most of the industry elites, and in the following years, a large number of people from the NA organization appeared in the fields of business, politics, and science. Even the White Walkers chose to cooperate with them in development."

"cooperate?"

"Yes, the early White Walkers were more cooperative, which is what I learned from my adoptive father."

"Whether in military or bioengineering, considerable progress has been made with the assistance of the NA organization."

"After all, that group of people encompasses the theories and academic knowledge of their respective original worlds. What is a problem that cannot be solved in one world may not be a problem in another world. When the diversity of these worlds comes together, it itself carries immeasurable value."

"For example, the human flesh bionic experiment was conducted with the assistance of the NA organization. They provided a lot of theoretical basis; otherwise, the private research labs here wouldn't have dared to be so adventurous."

Jin Ziyue paused for a moment, and the image of a girl flashed through his mind.

Qi Tongshan continued, "I only found out after the experiment failed and the information was leaked within the radical faction."

After saying that, she stared into Jin Ziyue's eyes and said, "The perpetrator was wearing a white mask."

Jin Ziyue calmly admitted, "It was me."

“I have no objection,” Qi Tongshan said. “If you hadn’t stopped them back then, human flesh canning would be in mass production by now, and they would be preparing for the next arms race.”

"That concludes my briefing." Qi Tongshan exhaled and asked:
"Speaking of which, I haven't asked you yet what your purpose is in coming to District 16? You don't look like law-abiding citizens in this world. You couldn't possibly be here on vacation with your families, could you?"

Qi Tongshan said sarcastically.

Jin Ziyue remained silent.

Seeing his expression, Chen Ruolan wisely kept quiet.

Qi Tongshan understood and said, "If it's inconvenient to say, I'll take back the question."

“Speaking of which, there’s something that’s been bothering me since the beginning,” Qi Tongshan said to herself.

Everyone looked at her, waiting quietly for her to continue.

Qi Tongshan looked around the room. Yan Wuxun was preparing dinner in the inner room, with Douzi and Tianyu helping out. Everyone in the room was within her sight.

After a long silence, Qi Tongshan finally asked, "Why haven't I seen Fu Qin?"

Jin Ziyue paused for a moment.

Fu Xun glanced over as well. Chen Ruolan looked at her in surprise and stammered, "..."

"Huh? You know him too—?"

"Of course, in my original world, Fu Qin was in the dorm next to ours. Don't forget, dorms are arranged alphabetically by surname, and you two were very close and often hung out together, how could I not know you?"

Qi Tongshan was exceptionally skilled at disciplining Chen Ruolan.

However, she noticed that the atmosphere in the room suddenly became quiet after she finished speaking.

Even the clanging of knives in the kitchen stopped, and the two men fell into an unusual silence.

"What's wrong?" She seemed to realize something and looked at Jin Ziyue.

Jin Ziyue raised his head and met her gaze: "Let me explain."

……

"Feel sorry."

Ten minutes later, Qi Tongshan also learned the reason.

She sighed a little; no wonder Jin Ziyue in this world seemed so different from the unreliable guy from before.

Fu Qin...

In her mind, the image of a girl quietly wearing headphones and sipping from a straw flashed through her mind.

In my memory, she was cold and sarcastic, the complete opposite of the carefree Chen Ruolan.

She's a quiet and strong-willed girl, but only when Jin Ziyue directs her will she reveal her cunning and ruthless side.

Qi Tongshan recalled the time when she was Chen Xingtong and the two of them forced her to eat dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).

Looking into Jin Ziyue's familiar eyes, she realized how similar his expression was to Fu Qin's.

The man seemed to have unknowingly become like Fu Qin.

"fine."

Jin Ziyue's tone was always very low.

A boy's transformation into a man always involves two stages: meeting the girl he loves and saying goodbye to her.

After two years, he has been able to maintain a calm and composed demeanor.

Qi Tongshan finally understood why they were going against the organization.

If someone destroys your home, what is banished and wandering will no longer be a person, but a lonely soul stained with sin.

He just wanted to drag the whole organization down with him.

Qi Tongshan remained silent.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

Finally, everyone dispersed.

……

into the night.

The information provided by Qi Tongshan has revealed the most crucial figure: the mastermind behind the organization.

Mourning the deceased.

Jin Ziyue leaned against the window, examining his own white mask, trying to imagine the other person's face through this similar one.

They both hide in the shadows, presenting a face etched with sorrow.

Now that the goal has emerged, he can no longer afford to stand still.

……

Qi Tongshan rented a place nearby to stay.

Lying in bed, the events of the day were still somewhat unimaginable to her.

The sight of the chubby-cheeked Chen Ruolan, along with Jin Ziyue and Fu Xun, in their long-lost little group, made her feel somewhat dazed, as if she had returned to the days when they would bicker and tease each other under the tree-lined paths of university, and the girl's tinkling laughter seemed to still echo in her ears.

Unfortunately……

She sighed, pulled up the covers, and prepared to go to sleep.

"Knock knock." A knocking sound came from the window.

"who!"

Qi Tongshan sat up abruptly and looked out the window.

She was on the seventh floor.

Outside the window, a thin, dark figure pressed against the glass, tapping on it with his right hand. A pale, smiling mask suddenly came into Qi Tongshan's view as the face drew closer.

That long, narrow smile seemed to stretch from the corners of his mouth to the roots of his ears, like a ghost peering down the wall in the dark night sky.

Qi Tongshan cursed, "Are you fucking crazy?!"

The next instant, a black figure appeared in the room. Under the night light, only the outline of the man in his tuxedo could be seen. He turned around with his hands in his pockets, and his masked face was smiling at her.

"The mission was completed well."

The voice beneath the mask said this.
