Chapter 25 What exactly happened that year?

Chapter 25 What exactly happened that year?
There's a saying: "He who possesses a sharp weapon will naturally harbor murderous intent."

In this extraordinary era, many people possess powerful weapons, yet they are bound by rules. Even when they encounter frustrating or infuriating situations in life, they can only swallow their anger and bear the bitter consequences.

Until the Arc Light Organization broke the authority of the Extraordinary Council, broke the rules, and left a rift in the order.

Many people's suppressed thoughts will naturally take root, sprout, and gradually grow.

However, order was not completely broken, and they still harbored fear of Parliament.

In order to suppress this fear, and also to conceal his identity.

Those out-of-control superhuman thugs will all do one thing in common—

Put on the mask and become [Arc Light]!
"Perhaps the first superhuman thugs were just using this as a cover to intimidate others."

"However, this approach successfully awakened the public's fear of the Arc Light Organization, plunging the already chaotic Zhongzhou City into complete chaos."

“When people are gripped by fear, they no longer care whether they are a real terrorist organization or not—or rather, these people are simply extraordinary thugs, no different from the Arc Light organization.”

"After the incident on May 24, people discovered that as long as they wear a mask, they can unleash the evil within them."

"As a result, the crime rate in Zhongzhou City skyrocketed, and there were thugs everywhere, and Arc Light was everywhere."

The white crane spoke calmly.

Jiang He felt a chill: "Is there no way to stop this?"

"You could have prevented the May 24th incident by having foresight, but you can't change people's hearts," Bai He said.

"This is what it means to be out of control."

Jiang He fell silent.

Baihe continued her story.

"On May 28, Du Lingwei recovered, and I followed her to learn at the fire station. With a source of fire, my stagnant strength began to grow."

"On June 3, I successfully broke through the energy level limit and became an F-level superhuman."

“During this period, Zhongzhou City became increasingly chaotic. The Public Security Bureau was under manpower shortages, and the Fire Department was also under immense pressure. Rescue operations often turned into suppression operations, and they even had to assist the Public Security Bureau in resolving violent incidents…”

"Many people were injured, and my abilities began to come into play."

The white crane spoke briefly, yet it conveyed the chaos of the times.

The fire department is under immense pressure, and even he, a superhuman who just broke through to F-level, has been drafted.

Jiang He will likely encounter similar situations when he trains with Du Lingwei at the fire station.

Of course, his situation is much better than Baihe's.

Not only are they stronger, but they also possess extraordinary professions related to the Word of Power, allowing them to become stronger simply by using Word of Power.

Consider it a form of spiritual practice.

Bai He paused for a moment after saying this.

Years later, recalling what happened next still stirs his emotions.

"This situation lasted for ten days."

"Until June 13, 2029, the extraordinary organization Arc Light will reappear in Zhongzhou."

"This is the real Arc Light organization. They run rampant in the city, arresting and publicly murdering many imposters, and clashing with the police department."

"The fighting affected many areas, including the Lido neighborhood, which was also destroyed in the battle."

"I was at the fire station at the time and escaped unharmed."

"Finally, the newly appointed mayor, Zhong Honglian, took action and completely killed these extraordinary thugs, demonstrating her authority."

"This incident also thoroughly enraged the Extraordinary Council. The S-rank [Prophet] went all out to investigate and identify all members of the Arc Light Organization. Overnight, the entire Arc Light Organization was uprooted and all its members were killed."

"Arc tissue has become history."

If Jiang He only heard this part, he would think that the Extraordinary Council had really taken action.

However, recalling Bai He's previous mockery, he suddenly understood.

If the so-called "Arc Light Organization" is indeed the product of a power struggle among a certain S-class superhuman, that is, the high-ranking members of the council.

Clearly, they've realized they've gone too far, and are now trying to salvage the council's authority by destroying the Arc Light organization.

Is it really possible? "What's the point?" Bai He sneered.

Even with the destruction of the Arc Light, cracks have appeared in the order, and the loss of control has not stopped.

"The situation in Zhongzhou has improved, but the chaos has not disappeared; it has simply moved underground from the surface."

“In the following months, there were still frequent incidents of people going on rampages.”

"Of course, I'm relieved now."

"On June 20, the school reopened, and I returned to the top class. With the support of resources, my abilities began to grow rapidly."

"Class E, Class D..."

"Until February 2030, the Rubik's Cube Incident occurred in Zhongzhou City."

"This incident stemmed from an S-class spatial talent who developed a mental illness during an event, exhibiting self-destructive and antisocial tendencies, and ultimately 'martyred' in Zhongzhou City."

"He calls himself the successor of Arc Light and wants to destroy the dirty order established by the council, directly sacrificing his life to let his talent go out of control."

"The entire space of Zhongzhou City has been torn apart, twisted, and destroyed, like a Rubik's Cube."

"The incident was eventually resolved, but it allowed the buried darkness to re-emerge."

"In April 2030, a terrorist organization calling itself 'The Darkest Hour' appeared in Hongfu City, launched a terrorist attack, committed a bloody crime, and shocked the world."

"Although the organization was wiped out by Parliament in a flash, crime rates surged again around the world in the following years, with all sorts of extraordinary thugs emerging one after another."

"In January 2032, the extraordinary terrorist organization [Wolf Pack] appeared."

"The wolf king of the wolf pack possesses an extremely stealthy S-level talent, shielding himself from the prophet's spying. He has killed a large number of council forces in various places, completely trampling on the council's prestige."

"From then on, all sorts of extraordinary terrorist organizations sprang up like mushrooms after rain."

"In the eyes of these extraordinary thugs, Zhongzhou City, where the Arc Light Organization first attacked, became a sacred place."

"All sorts of thugs come to this city on a 'pilgrimage,' and all sorts of crimes occur here."

Bai He paused for a moment, then said.

"In 2037, Zhongzhou, where we live, has become the worst city in the world, with supernatural crimes emerging one after another and terrorist organizations running rampant."

"In this environment, I became a Class B superhuman and a 'law enforcer' of this city."

Is this the future of Zhongzhou City?
A crazy crime capital?
Jiang He found it hard to believe that all of this originated from a single terrorist attack.

Bai He didn't care whether Jiang He believed him or not; he was simply recounting his experience.

If we take 2037 as a starting point, then it becomes even simpler to talk about what comes after that.

"Because I am an S-level talent, I already possess considerable strength at the B-level, which allows me to deal with numerous extraordinary crimes and make contributions."

"In 2040, thanks to the resources I earned through my merits, I broke through to become an A-level superhuman and switched to several S-level professions, including [Red Lotus of Karmic Fire]. My combat power is extremely strong, and in just a few years, I became the number one person below S-level."

"Du Lingwei and I guarded Zhongzhou City together and worked hard to quell the chaos in the city."

"In 2049, I broke through to become an S-class superhuman, truly possessing top-tier combat power, and became a member of the Superhuman Council."

"Under my supervision, order and peace were gradually restored in Zhongzhou and some surrounding cities."

Jiang He nodded slightly.

Although things were quite chaotic at first, the situation improved significantly after Bai He broke through to S-rank.

This aligns with Jiang He's self-perception.

He is a person who loves peace and order, and after cultivating and growing, he should also belong to the side of order.

But why did it happen afterward...?

"Looking at his confused expression," Baihe said.

"In 2066, the prophet foretold the destruction of the world."

"In the same year, I destroyed the world."

"...??"
