Chapter 249 Xiaoling's Prophecy
Xiao Ran's words echoed in the hall. He pointed to the already cold corpse on the ground and then looked at the light screen in front of Su Wanqing.

"I'm confident I can bypass the defense system on that road. We must get our hands on the high-frequency energy suppressor; that thing can interfere with them."

Lu Zhao adjusted his glasses and swiped his finger across his tablet. "Theoretically feasible, but a 90% risk factor is no joke. This means there are variables we can't predict, most likely time-related variables."

"No matter how great the risk, we have to go." Xiao Ran's tone left no room for negotiation.

As Su Wanqing stared at the deep red trajectory line, about to use her system privileges to attempt risk intervention, the lighting system in the fortress's front hall suddenly flickered, and a soft electronic voice came from the speakers embedded in the walls.

[At 10:00 AM, the Fortress System notified: "The Prophecy Node" has been activated, and the key figure "Little Bell" is about to arrive. Please prepare to receive her.]

The three of them looked towards the spiral staircase simultaneously. Lin Che asked, "How did she know about this place?"

“I left her my address last night,” Su Wanqing explained. “We arranged to meet today, and I didn’t expect her to be so punctual.”

Before the words were finished, soft footsteps came from the stairwell. A moment later, Xiaoling appeared in everyone's sight.

She was wearing a simple white dress and her hair was tied in a ponytail, but her whole demeanor was completely different from before.

Her eyes were calm, so calm that they didn't look like those of a teenage girl, but more like those of an adult who had experienced countless hardships.

What is most striking is her forehead, where there is a very faint red mark in the center of her brow, like a cinnabar mole, which is faintly visible under the light.

“I’m here.” Xiaoling’s voice was soft but exceptionally clear. “We don’t have much time to waste arguing.”

She walked up to the crowd, her gaze sweeping over Xiao Ran, then the corpse on the ground, and finally settling on Su Wanqing's system screen.

"The military warehouse matter has to be put on hold for now. Something more troublesome has come knocking."

Xiao Ran frowned slightly. "What is it?"

“Time Watchers.” As Xiaoling uttered this word, the red dot on her forehead flickered slightly. “They are not a unified organization, but rather multiple factions from different cycles, each with different purposes.”

Some simply wanted to quietly record this ending, while others... hoped to hasten our collapse. They've already begun their operation.

Lu Zhao immediately pressed, "How do you know all this? Your abilities..."

“I can see more images, and they are more fragmented.” Xiaoling raised her hand and gently touched the red dot on her forehead. “They are like broken mirrors, each piece reflecting a possibility.”

I saw them as a swarm of black shadows, searching for 'time anomalies' like us in every corner of the city.

Her words were like a switch, and in the center of the fortress hall, a huge three-dimensional city map projection quietly rose.

This was generated by the device Lu Zhao connected to the bastion host. On the map, several areas began to flicker with a faint red light.

"The news says that flocks of migratory birds in the west of the city crashed into skyscrapers this morning. Pet hospitals in the south of the city have received numerous reports that their pet cats and dogs have become extremely aggressive."

Lin Che scrolled through his phone screen, reading aloud several city news notifications he had just received. "The weather forecast has changed too; it says there will be extreme and unusual weather in the next few days."

These signs indicate that beneath the surface of the city, a certain imbalance is accelerating.

Just then, a shrill cell phone ring broke the heavy atmosphere.

It's Xiao Ran's phone.

He glanced at the caller ID, answered the call, but didn't turn on speakerphone.

"Hello, Teacher Li." The voice on the other end of the phone came through the receiver, sounding very nervous.

Xiao Ran's expression darkened more and more as the other person spoke.

His hands unconsciously clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white.

"Okay, I understand, thank you, please keep your phone accessible."

He hung up the phone, looked up, and said, each word seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth, "Special needs center for children, my sister's place."

"What's wrong?" Su Wanqing asked.

“Two people went to the center today,” Xiao Ran said in a low voice. “They were dressed in black and claimed to be government employees, but they couldn’t produce any identification.”

The teachers at the center didn't let them in, nor did they reveal any information about Xiaoyu.

“They are very strange,” Xiao Ran repeated his teacher’s words. “Their eyes are almost completely black, and the way they speak is also very strange, without any intonation.”

They kept asking the younger sister if she had any 'special abilities' and if she had ever 'seen a purple light'.

The strangest thing was that after they left, all the electronic equipment in the center malfunctioned for almost an hour.

“They are observers,” Lu Zhao immediately concluded.

Without a word, Xiao Ran turned and headed towards the stairwell. "I have to go pick her up, right now."

"No!" Xiaoling suddenly spoke, her voice not loud but strong, stopping him in his tracks.

“They’re waiting outside the center. If you go there now, you’ll just be followed and led directly here.”

Xiao Ran stopped and turned around to look at the girl, who was only a few years older than his sister, his eyes filled with doubt and anxiety.

Xiaoling ignored his gaze and closed her eyes. The red dot on her forehead lit up again, its light even brighter than before, as if an eye was about to open.

She stood motionless for a few seconds, then opened her eyes and calmly gave an unbelievable timeframe.

"Wait until 5:17 PM. There will be a sudden downpour then, not heavy, but dense enough. The downpour will last for a full six minutes, that's your safety window. Use those six minutes to pick someone up, and then come back immediately."

Xiao Ran was stunned; he couldn't comprehend such a prediction, accurate to the minute.

"How could you..."

“She saw not a possibility, but a fact.” Lu Zhao walked to his side and explained in a low voice, “Xiao Ling’s abilities have been greatly enhanced in this cycle of reincarnation.”

She can no longer simply 'predict' the future; she can now actually 'see' the various fluctuations and predetermined points on the timeline.

The rain at 5:17 PM, in her view, was an event that had already occurred.

Everyone fell silent. The teacher's phone call, Xiaoling's prophecy, the strange occurrences in the city... everything connected.

The enemy is no longer a distant, conceptual "weaver," but a "time observer" who has infiltrated the city and is actively seeking out and eliminating them.

Each and every one of them is a target. Actions must be taken with extreme caution.
