Did the world end today?

Chapter 376 Motive

Chapter 376 Motive
As soon as Qin Shizhong finished speaking, the interrogator immediately reopened the notebook.

Why can't Zhang Ziyi see you?

What's the problem between you two?

"Or does she know some of your secrets?"

“No secrets.”

Qin Shizhong shook his head vigorously.

"I just don't want to see her."

"Please."

"This only happened between us."

“She doesn’t need to get involved, nor does she need to be involved in our affairs.”

His face was a complex mix of emotions, and when the interrogator met his gaze, a hint of something else was even visible in his eyes.
fear?

What's going on here?

Even when he said he wanted to "take the whole world down with him," he didn't show a trace of fear.

This is certainly not because he is "bluffing." From the perspective of behavioral experts, he is indeed capable of committing such extreme destructive acts.

But now, he feels fear because of an "old friend"?

This is unusual.

After a brief pause, the interrogator immediately reported the crucial information.

Then he began to speak:
“If you don’t want her involved in this, we can discuss it.”

"However, you must first provide the information we need."

"This is an exchange, is that alright?"

"can."

Qin Shizhong answered without hesitation.

"Your guesses are all correct."

"High-dimensional portals, ghosts, and everything they've done."

"They are all correct."

"You've already seen through everything about me. What else do you want to know?"

The interrogator smiled slightly.

Then, he asked a question that infuriated Qin Shizhong.

"We want to know why you can't see Zhang Ziyi?"

Qin Shizhong clenched his fist.

"I can answer anything except this one!"

"This is my bottom line!"

"If you insist on crossing this line, then we'll fight to the death!"

"You are not qualified."

The interrogator slowly shook his head.

"Haven't you realized yet? You've already revealed all your cards."

“You have neither the ability to pose a direct threat to us, nor the ability to prevent Zhang Ziyi from seeing you.”

"Perhaps the plan of that border ghost was complete, but you executed it terribly."

"It's all over."

"That's it for now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Shizhong slumped down in his seat.

He suddenly realized that, just as the interrogator had said, he had no more cards to play.

He said he "cannot let Zhang Ziyi see him", not "he cannot see Zhang Ziyi".

This alone has caused him to completely lose all initiative.

He stared blankly at the ceiling, and at that moment, he suddenly felt that the years he had lived had become incredibly short.

Those elaborate designs and so-called plans are all ridiculous.

Even with the blessing of "high-dimensional power," or even what they themselves believed to be power close to "god," they still appeared so fragile and ridiculous in the face of this massive state machine.

Perhaps, I really shouldn't have taken this step.

If, from the beginning, I had chosen to be like that core high-dimensional experiencer, revealing all the information I had obtained and truly cooperating with the authorities, would things have turned out differently?
Completely different directions?
Unfortunately, he no longer had the chance to turn back. Qin Shizhong slowly raised his head.

He opened his mouth and said:
"Everything related to her is just my private matter."

"She is the only person in this world that I can never let go of."

"So, you really don't need to, there's no need to shatter my last bit of hope."

"I will give you whatever you want."

"Don't you want to know what the border really is?"

“Boundaries do not actually exist, nor do the so-called ‘ghosts’.”

"It's just a flaw."

Meanwhile, on the return flight.

Lin Xu has received Qin Shizhong's latest interrogation report.

After reading the report, his eyes held a hint of wistfulness.

Jiang Xingye, standing to the side, was in the same boat.

"Therefore, the story of Qin Shizhong and Zhang Ziyi is actually an ordinary story."

"An ordinary high school student who has been under heavy family pressure for more than ten years is at a loss when faced with sudden intense emotions, and ultimately chooses to escape when he should have taken the initiative."

"But for him, Zhang Ziyi is still his ideal woman."

"Therefore, by chance, after entering a higher-dimensional channel, his self-destructive tendencies and his desire for revenge were distorted and amplified."

"But before he could take revenge, he had to prepare in advance—he chose to erase the 'concept' of his own existence from everyone's minds."

"This is a completely new beginning for him - what he wants to say goodbye to is the personality and experiences he considers distorted in the past."

"His ultimate goal is to achieve the so-called 'ideal world' and the 'ideal self' so that he can meet his white moonlight again."

"Destroy the whole world for one person?"

"This motive doesn't seem very convincing, does it?"

After Jiang Xingye finished speaking, Lin Xu shook his head.

"no."

"He doesn't want to destroy the world, but rather to reorganize it in the way he desires."

"He must have made some kind of deal with that 'ghost'."

"Since he says that the essence of a ghost is a 'flaw,' then the purpose of a ghost is to break free from boundaries and become a true entity."

"And he can use the power of the ghosts to reconstruct this low-dimensional world that is no longer important to higher-dimensional beings."

"This is reasonable, and it is completely understandable from the perspective of the exchange of interests between the two parties."

"Do not."

Jiang Xingye interrupted Lin Xu.

"That's not what I'm talking about."

"What I'm saying is, how could someone who has experienced higher dimensions, someone who possesses power akin to that of a god, be entangled in such fragile emotions?"

Compared to what he did, the term "white moonlight" seems somewhat ridiculous, doesn't it?

"no."

Lin Xu sighed softly.

"Just as he said, for him, Zhang Ziyi is the only 'anchor'."

"This so-called white moonlight is no longer just a white moonlight."

"You could even say that she is the only meaning in this world."

"You haven't seen this notebook yet, have you?"

"You can take a look while you have this time."

"Perhaps after reading this, you'll understand how such a person became so 'extreme'."

Jiang Xingye took the notebook that Lin Xu handed over.

Upon opening the notebook, a plain sentence appeared before Jiang Xingye.

"September 1, 2016, this is my first diary."
