Super God: I simulated the heavens and was broadcast live in public

Chapter 210 Fear of Angels
Ah Jie's voice sounded particularly jarring on the empty lakeside, and his men joined in the laughter.

Yunming slowly turned his head, his eyes coldly fixed on A-Jie. Ignoring A-Jie's teasing about the bait, he asked directly and coldly, "A-Jie, you and your men have been following and monitoring me for so long. What are your intentions? Hmm? Are you planning to make a move?"

Yunming's voice was deep and powerful, carrying an invisible sense of pressure on the calm lakeside.

A-Jie was taken aback by Yunming's direct questioning, but quickly regained his nonchalant attitude, shrugged and said, "Yunming, what are you talking about? We were just passing by and saw you pretending to fish here, so we couldn't help but make a joke. Why are you reacting so strongly?"

Although Ah Jie said that, his eyes unconsciously flickered.

Yunming snorted coldly and said, "Ah Jie, do you think I'd believe your nonsense? Don't think I don't know what you're up to."

Yunming gripped the fishing rod tightly, the veins on the back of his hand bulging slightly, revealing his inner anger.

Seeing that Yunming didn't believe him, A-Jie stopped pretending, his smile vanished, and he said fiercely, "Yunming, don't be so arrogant! Don't forget, you have nearly twenty lives on your hands. Do you think you can escape punishment?"

A complex emotion flashed in Yunming's eyes, a mixture of guilt and helplessness. He slowly said, "I admit that the loss of nearly twenty lives was unintentional on my part."

I never intended to hurt so many people; those were all accidents.

However, if this is your reason for targeting me, I can accept punishment, but I will absolutely not pay with my life, nor will I accept excessive treatment.

Ah Jie sneered, "Hmph, you make it sound so easy. Nearly twenty lives lost, and you think you can just call it an accident and accept punishment? Who do you think you are?"

Yunming looked at A-Jie, his eyes revealing a firm determination: "A-Jie, I'm not shirking my responsibility."

I know I have made a mistake, and I am willing to bear the consequences.

However, I also have my bottom line; I will not let myself be bullied.

Ah Jie scoffed, "Bottom line? What bottom line do you have left? You're a murderer now, and everyone has the right to kill you."

Yunming took a deep breath and said, "A-Jie, I don't want to argue with you today."

I choose to tolerate this for now, not because I'm afraid of you, but because...

As Yunming said this, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes, "It's because of my fear of angels."

When A-Jie heard Yun-Ming mention angels, a look of surprise appeared on his face: "Angels? You're afraid of angels? What does this have to do with angels?"

Yunming said slowly, "You don't understand, A-Jie."

The power of angels is beyond our imagination.

They hold absolute justice; once they deem me a heinous criminal, I will never be able to redeem myself.

I am now holding back, waiting for the right opportunity to prove my innocence to the angels, or to accept the reasonable punishment I deserve.

Ah Jie burst into laughter: "Innocence? You have so many lives on your hands, and you still want to prove your innocence? Yunming, don't even dream about it."

Yunming looked at A-Jie and said seriously, "A-Jie, I know you don't believe me."

But, it is what it is.

I have always felt guilty about the deaths of those people.

I reflect on myself every day; I don't want such a tragedy to happen again.

Ah Jie persisted, "Hmph, that sounds nice."

"Then tell me, how do you plan to wait for the right opportunity? Are you just going to fish here?"

Yunming looked at the fishing rod in his hand and said, "A-Jie, you don't understand."

Fishing is a way for me to calm down.

Beneath the seemingly calm surface of this lake lies a wealth of life and unpredictable changes.

Just like our current situation, it seems calm on the surface, but in reality, it is fraught with danger.

I need to think calmly to find a solution.

Ah Jie scoffed, "What kind of twisted logic are you spouting?"

I think you're just running away, afraid to face reality.

Yunming ignored A-Jie's sarcasm and continued, "A-Jie, I know you've always had a problem with me."

However, I hope you understand that our enemies are not each other right now.

In this universe of gods, there are too many unknown dangers. If we keep fighting amongst ourselves, we will only make ourselves more vulnerable.

Ah Jie sneered, "Enemy? Our greatest enemy is you, a murderer."

Yunming shook his head: "A-Jie, you've been blinded by hatred."

We should take a long-term view and think about how to survive in this dangerous universe, rather than dwelling on past grievances.

Ah Jie said dismissively, "Stop lecturing me with your grand principles."

Now that I'm here, I won't let you off so easily.

As he spoke, A-Jie gave his men a wink, and several of them slowly surrounded him.

Yunming looked at the people surrounding him without the slightest fear in his eyes. He gripped his fishing rod tightly and said, "Ah Jie, are you sure you want to do this? You should know that even if you can do something to me today, you can't change anything."

Ah Jie said fiercely, "I don't care, I'm going to demand justice for those who died today."

Yunming sighed helplessly: "A-Jie, you were too impulsive."

Do you think killing me will bring those people back to life?

A-Jie didn't answer, but rushed forward.

Yunming quickly put down his fishing rod and dodged A-Jie's attack by turning to the side.

A-Jie's men also surrounded Yunming and started fighting with him.

Although Yunming was agile, he gradually found himself unable to hold his own against the overwhelming numbers of his opponents.

Just as Yunming was about to fall into trouble, a flash of light appeared, and a mysterious figure appeared in front of everyone.

Everyone was startled by the sudden appearance of the figure and stopped.

The mysterious man slowly removed his hood, revealing a cold and stern face.

"Yan?"

Yunming exclaimed in surprise.

That's right, this mysterious person is none other than Angel Yan.

Yan glanced around at the people, his eyes revealing a sense of authority: "What are you doing?"

Yan's voice was clear and powerful, as if it carried an irresistible force.

When A-Jie saw that it was Angel Yan, he was a little scared, but he still mustered up his courage and said, "Angel Yan, this man is a murderer. He has nearly twenty lives on his hands. We are seeking justice for those who died."

Yan looked at Yunming, then at Ajie, and said, "Matters of life and death are for the angels to decide; it's not your place to make a move."

Yunming looked at Yan and said, "Angel Yan, I am willing to accept the angel's judgment, but I hope you can listen to my explanation."

Yan nodded: "Okay, I'll give you a chance to explain."

Come back to the City of Angels with me.

After saying that, Yan and Yunming transformed into a beam of light and disappeared from the spot.

Ah Jie watched Yun Ming and Yan disappear, his heart filled with resentment, yet he was helpless.

He could not contend with the power of angels.

In the City of Angels, Yunming stood before Yan and began to tell his story. From how he unwittingly got involved in a conflict to how those lives were lost in an accident, Yunming recounted everything in detail.

Yan listened quietly, her face expressionless.

After Yunming finished speaking, Yan remained silent for a moment before saying, "Yunming, I have heard your story."

Although you say those were accidents, human lives are at stake, and you must be responsible for your actions.

Yunming nodded: "I understand, Angel Yan."

I am willing to take responsibility, and I will accept any punishment as long as it is not excessive.

Yan looked at Yunming and said, "In the angel's judgment, we will decide your punishment based on the truth of the matter and your attitude."

Don't worry, we won't wrong an innocent person, nor will we let a guilty person go free.

A glimmer of hope rose in Yunming's heart, and he said, "Thank you, Angel Yan. I believe the angel's judgment is just."

Amidst the ruins, A-Jie stood there with a solemn expression, his eyes fixed on Yun Ming in front of him, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

Yunming lowered his head, his hair soaked with sweat and clinging to his cheeks. His chest rose and fell slightly, as if he had not yet recovered from the chaos just now.

After a long silence, Ah Jie finally spoke: "Yunming, this matter is very serious. I need to report it to my superiors."

His voice was low and hoarse, revealing weariness and helplessness.

Yun Ming raised his head slightly, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and nodded gently: "Okay, go ahead and report it. I... I really didn't mean to collapse the building."

His voice trembled slightly, as if he was trying to suppress his inner fear and unease.

Ah Jie took out his communicator and dialed his superior's number.

After the call connected, A-Jie took a deep breath and said, "Hello, is this headquarters? This is A-Jie. A major incident has occurred here."

He paused, glanced at Yunming, and continued, "Yunming admitted that collapsing the building was unintentional, and he didn't know what happened."

Also, a screen appeared at the scene that looked very much like him, but the specifics are unclear.

As A-Jie spoke, his brows were furrowed, as he watched Yun-Ming's reaction while waiting for his superior's response.

There was a series of static noises on the other end of the phone, followed by a woman's voice: "Ah Jie, are you sure he didn't mean it? And that screen, continue the investigation, and report any new developments immediately."

The woman's voice was crisp and clear, carrying an undeniable air of authority.

Just as A-Jie was about to respond, the voice on the phone suddenly changed to a deep, steady male voice. A-Jie immediately recognized it as Dukao's.

"Ah Jie, give the phone to Yunming."

Dukao's voice was deep and powerful, as if carrying an invisible sense of pressure.

A-Jie handed the phone to Yun-Ming. Yun-Ming hesitated for a moment, then took the phone, his hand unconsciously clenching tightly.

"Hey, General Dukao."

Yunming's voice trembled slightly as he tried to sound calm.

"Yunming, I'm asking you, what's the deal with those four medical staff in the car?"

Dukao asked directly, his tone carrying a hint of accusation.

Yunming's heart suddenly raced. He bit his lip, frantically trying to figure out how to answer. "I... I was too nervous at the time, and I used too much force when I knocked him out."

His voice was a little weak, and even he himself felt that the reason was a bit far-fetched.

Dukao was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, then slowly said, "Too much force? Yunming, do you think I'd believe that? This is clearly the work of martial arts, so stop hiding it."

Although Dukao's voice was calm, it sent a chill down Yunming's spine.

Yunming's hand holding the phone trembled slightly. Dukao wasn't so easily fooled, but he still didn't want to reveal the truth so easily.

"General, I... I really don't know how to say it, the situation was too urgent at the time."

Yunming tried to stall for time and find a better excuse.

"Yunming, you need to understand that now is not the time for you to be willful."

You caused the building to collapse and assaulted medical staff; you should understand the seriousness of this series of events.

Dukao's tone turned serious. "I hope you'll tell the truth, or you know the consequences."

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Yunming's forehead. Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and he realized that he was in a predicament.

"General, I... I didn't mean to hide it, it's just... it's just that things are too complicated."

Yunming's voice carried a hint of pleading; he hoped that Dukao could give him some time to sort out his thoughts.

"Complex? No matter how complex it is, it still needs to be explained clearly."

Dukao's voice rose a few decibels, "Do you think you can escape this? The whole city is in chaos because of you, and you have to give everyone an explanation."

Yunming took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

This can't go on forever; we have to find a way to deal with it.

"General, I can tell you some things, but there are some things I need time to sort out."

Yunming tried to negotiate with Dukao, not wanting to expose everything at once.

"A portion? Do you think that's enough?"

Dukao said coldly, "Yunming, don't be so naive."

Your current situation is very dangerous. I advise you to confess honestly and try to get leniency.

Yunming fell silent, unsure of what to do.

Dukao wouldn't let him off easily, but he didn't want to reveal all his secrets.

Just as he was hesitating, A-Jie spoke up from the side: "Yunming, just tell the truth. It's better for you and for everyone."

A-Jie's eyes showed a hint of concern; he also hoped that Yunming could resolve this matter as soon as possible.

Yunming glanced at A-Jie, then at the phone in his hand, and felt a struggle within him.

Finally, he sighed and said, "General, I can tell you, but I hope you can promise not to tell anyone else about my affairs."

"You tell me first and listen."

Dukao's tone softened slightly, but he remained wary.

Yunming took a deep breath and slowly said, "General, I admit that I know martial arts, and the origin of this martial art is somewhat special."

I was adopted by a mysterious person when I was a child. He taught me martial arts, but he never told me his identity or purpose.

The building collapsed today because I lost control while fighting against that light screen, which led to this result.

As for the four medical staff, I did knock them unconscious using martial arts, because I didn't want them to discover my secret.

Yunming finished speaking in one breath, feeling a sense of relief, but also a little worried, wondering how Dukao would react.

Dukao was silent for a long time on the other end of the phone, then said, "Yunming, your story is fascinating, but I need to verify it."

"Stay where you are and don't wander off. We'll send someone over."

After saying that, Dukao hung up the phone.

Yunming stared at the phone in his hand, his heart filled with unease.
