Did the world end today?

Chapter 347 Transformation

The end of the world, it's the end of the world again.

Even the staff in charge of the interrogation did not expect to get such an answer from this elderly couple.

As the questioning continued, a bizarre and even somewhat eerie story was finally revealed to everyone.

According to the two, Qin Shizhong began introducing the concept of "doomsday" to his parents starting in 2015.

Of course, he was just a high school student at the time, and the information he presented was not convincing enough.

His so-called "doomsday theory" was nothing more than the nonsense of a teenage boy, which his parents regarded as such, and what they got in return was even stricter control over him.

But soon, in less than three years, his parents suddenly discovered that his "doomsday" theory was becoming more and more complete and logically consistent.

The repeated indoctrination was like seawater crashing against rocks, eventually causing the parents to waver one day.

They suddenly started thinking about a question.

Does the end of the world really exist?

If it exists, will it really happen one day, just as my son said?

Once this question arises, the seed of doubt has already been planted.

They began to subconsciously search for "hints" in their lives that matched the "doomsday prophecy," and in fact, such hints are never hard to find if you look for them.

Whether it's true or not, as long as you believe, you can always find it.

So one day, they actually began to believe that the end of the world was coming.

They truly began to believe that their son was the only one who could save the world, and willingly placed themselves under his control.

What happened next became perfectly logical.

All social connections were severed; they were no longer individuals with independent personalities, but had become Qin Shizhong's "vassals."

They became domesticated pets, controlled by the reins, which is the so-called "apocalyptic crisis".

Their descriptions contain even more chilling or nauseating details.

These details were written in the records, and some were even too painful to look at.

But they felt it was only natural.

After finishing his questioning, the interrogator walked outside and took several deep breaths before finally managing to calm himself down.

Subsequently, a report was quickly produced, summarizing the key information obtained from his parents.

First, Qin Shizhong is a complete imposter. From high school onwards, the "persona" he presented was a facade. His parents' control over him was understandable, but his control over his parents was unfounded.

Second, Qin Shizhong had already obtained information about the apocalypse in advance, but he could not confirm that the information came from a higher dimension. It could be a pretext for control purposes, or it could be a coincidence.

Third, Qin Shizhong's control over his parents does not yet demonstrate a profit-driven nature; his motives remain unclear.

The report was quickly relayed to the coordination team, and then to the Xi'an State Security Department.

When those appalling details were presented to local state security personnel, security measures against Qin Shizhong were quickly upgraded.

From that moment on, he was effectively a "criminal suspect".

Even without considering the influence of higher dimensions, what he did in this world alone is enough to convict him.

Qin Shizhong was taken to the interrogation room overnight. When he saw the expressions on the interrogators' faces, he immediately understood everything and seemed to be prepared to accept everything.

"It seems you all already know."

Qin Shizhong sighed.

"But I had no choice."

"A last resort?"

The interrogator gave a cold laugh.

"What you did didn't seem like something you were forced to do; you seemed to enjoy it, didn't you?"

"You exhibit significant psychopathic and antisocial personality traits. Your control over them is merely to satisfy your own desires, isn't that right?"

"wrong."

Qin Shizhong slowly shook his head. "The end of the world is really coming."

“You yourselves know this, don’t you?”

"Different."

The interrogator shook his head and said:

"The doomsday in our theory is completely different from the doomsday you described."

"The real apocalypse is nothing more than a large-scale cosmic fluctuation phenomenon as defined by physics."

"It has nothing to do with destruction or extinction."

"And the doomsday you described is just a personification of fear."

"Your doomsday is a tool, isn't it?"

"That's not right either."

Qin Shizhong denied it again.

"I know what the apocalypse is; I've just extracted some of its attributes and borrowed some of its functions."

"But my purpose was simple; I just wanted to test whether I could help them escape the apocalypse."

After he finished speaking, the interrogator did not immediately refute him.

After a brief pause, he grasped the most crucial part of Qin Shizhong's narration.

"You mean, you predicted the end of the world starting in 2015?"

"That's right, I am a prophet in the truest sense."

A smug look appeared on Qin Shizhong's face.

"I know that you rely on high-dimensional channels to obtain information, and high-dimensional channels only appeared very late, right?"

“But I’m different; my information comes from another source.”

"It is not limited by time; it is a more stable and efficient transmission method."

“I think this approach will be very useful to you.”

At this point, a thought suddenly struck the interrogator.

In fact, to be able to sit in his position and conduct this type of interrogation, the level of confidentiality must be quite high.

Therefore, he was also aware of some of the most critical secrets to a certain extent.

For example, regarding "butterflies" and "pollen".

Based on the information I have, it seems that these two special individuals who have experienced higher dimensions did not have the experience of entering higher-dimensional channels.
What about their situation?
Could he be like Qin Shizhong in front of us?
The interrogator's gaze remained unchanged; he simply looked calmly at Qin Shizhong and began to speak:
"go on."

"what do you want?"

“What I want is simple.”

Qin Shizhong replied in a deep voice:

"First of all, I plead guilty."

“I did control my parents in a cruel way, but in reality, it was just my way of getting revenge on them.”

"At the same time, I 'incidentally' conducted some experiments on them, and these experiments were also successful."

"And this is very important."

"To put it bluntly, I committed a crime, I did something bad."

“But compared to what I can offer you, these crimes are negligible.”

"We can work together."

"I know how to transform a person into someone who has the ability to enter another world."
