Did the world end today?

Chapter 341 People Who Shouldn't Exist

The following evening, in Jinling.

Lin Xu sat down at his desk, put down the food he had almost finished eating, and asked Qin Feng:

"Another survivor? They were discovered yesterday, weren't they?"

Why didn't you report this to me yesterday?

Qin Feng, with food still stuffed in his mouth, finally managed to swallow it before answering:

"You're handling everything; do you really think you're a spinning top?"

"Won't you keep whipping me, one lash after another, without stopping even once?"

"Actually, we filter out most of the information that isn't that important."

"If you need to handle it yourself, then handle it yourself; if you need to coordinate with others, then coordinate with others. But no matter what, the goal is to reduce your burden as much as possible."

"This time was the same. We first conducted a preliminary interrogation to determine his identity, background, and the information he possessed."

"After settling him in, we reported to the core team. The core team then discussed the matter and decided whether to pass it on to you."

".Understood."

Lin Xu nodded slowly, then asked:
"So? So why did you decide to report to me again? Is there something special about him?"

After saying this, Qin Feng first shook his head, but then spoke again:
"If you insist on saying he's special, you really can't say he's that special."

“He did indeed enter a higher-dimensional channel and returned successfully, demonstrating the ‘resurrection’ characteristic common among those who have experienced higher dimensions.”

"At the same time, he also received a small amount of information—not crucial, but not entirely meaningless noise either."

"His personality was affected to some extent, but not drastically."

"Overall, he is a standard high-dimensional experiencer model. He is special compared to ordinary people, but he is nothing special compared to other high-dimensional experiencers we have encountered."

"Then you still say?"

Lin Xu shook his head with amusement.

He knew that Qin Feng hadn't finished speaking.

"So you mean his uniqueness doesn't lie in his higher-dimensional experiences?"

"Yes."

Qin Feng nodded and replied:
There are three special points in total.

"First, he and Yu Shiliang are good friends—almost to the level of close friends."

"Secondly, he was excessively calm. This calmness was not the purely rational calmness of Bai Mo, but a kind of rationality that was close to detachment."

His explanation for this was that after dying once, he had become indifferent to everything.

"However, our staff did some profiling based on his reaction and felt that there must be other reasons for his emotions or state of mind."

“One of the interrogators immediately concluded that he needed to be closely monitored.”

Close surveillance?

Lin Xu was stunned for a moment.

"Does that mean he has a tendency to make mistakes?"

"That doesn't warrant such a sweeping conclusion."

Qin Feng shrugged and said:
"In short, it still carries a certain degree of danger."

"In order to prevent him from doing anything detrimental to us for various rational or irrational, natural or supernatural reasons, we still need to exercise a certain degree of control over him."

reasonable.

Lin Xu nodded, then asked:

"What about the third one?"

What is the third special point?

Qin Feng paused slightly before replying:
"The third special point is that he is performing a desire for 'cooperation'."

“He didn’t really want to work with us, but he deliberately put on this act.”

"You can tell from that??"

Lin Xu was shocked. "Then how do you know I'm not putting on an act? Maybe I'm trying to use your power to seize supreme authority, and finally usurp the throne, achieving what Zhou Yue failed to do?"

"Do you think we're idiots?"

Qin Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"This judgment wasn't made by us just by saying it. Our intelligence analysts retrieved all the Skynet surveillance footage along the route and comprehensively analyzed his action logic chain, as well as a series of elements such as his movements and expressions."

"In the end, we found that his actions were disconnected from his logic, and at the same time, his logic was disconnected from his facial expressions and gestures."

"In short, he has been performing ever since his resurrection."

“But he underestimated our capabilities, so he didn’t know that we had discovered his ‘performance preparation’ process.”

"Therefore, this is also listed as one of his 'special characteristics'."

"so."

Lin Xu sorted through Qin Feng's words and then understood why Qin Feng only used "special" to describe this high-dimensional experiencer named Qin Shizhong, instead of using more intense terms such as "suspicious points" or "suspects".

Because, at present, these three special points are indeed insufficient to presume guilt against him.

In comparison, Yu Shiliang's demands for a public announcement of the apocalypse and for extremely high-level treatment seem a bit excessive.
But in the end, it was determined that it was just an immature delusion of Yu Shiliang under the influence of higher dimensions.

And this Qin Shizhong
It might end up being the same situation.

Therefore, it is reasonable to list him as a key subject of observation.

It's appropriate not to treat him as an enemy.

Thinking of this, Lin Xu spoke up:
"Then proceed according to your plan."

"If there is anything that requires my participation or assistance, please let me know promptly."

"clear."

Qin Feng nodded and stood up, casually gathering the leftover lunchbox in front of Lin Xu.

"Then I'll go first."

He opened his mouth and said:
"You should leave work early today; your workload has been consistently exceeding the limit lately."

"Know, know."

Lin Xu nodded perfunctorily and watched Qin Feng leave.

With a soft click, the office door closed.

He didn't waste any time and immediately went into the lounge behind the office.

At this time, the number displayed on the bracelet is a stable "1".

Since entering the world of the Leap Forward, the energy recovery rate of the bracelet has become increasingly slower.

It took him three whole days to accumulate enough opportunities again.

However, now that I have the opportunity, there is no doubt that I should enter the world of the bracelet as soon as possible.

After all, the effects of the previous spell hadn't been fully absorbed, and the question he had asked Jiang Xingye about Ayana's "new personality" was still unanswered.

I must solve these two problems before I enter that world.

Thinking of this, Lin Xu lay down on the sofa.

Then, he gently touched the bracelet.

Consciousness was quickly drained, and then it plummeted again.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself on that familiar grassland.

Meanwhile, Jiang Xingye was already waiting opposite him.

The two looked at each other, paused for a second, and then Jiang Xingye spoke:
"Lin Xu, the spell last time was more effective than the first time."

"Our integrity has increased by approximately 2.6%."

"This is a very good result; we are making progress."

"Also, I have a lead on the person you asked me to find."

"But it's strange."

"This seems to be someone who shouldn't exist."
