I can travel to the past and the future

Chapter 138 Be angry, hate (8700)

A black sports car sped through the deep night, a common sight on the road, where a series of car accidents were caused by a sudden, widespread power outage.

The sounds of sirens and car horns mingled with shattering glass, shoving and cursing by pedestrians, and screams from those whose suspended walkways were being struck by hovercars.

Whether it's the shield barriers that occasionally shimmer on the surface of high-end, extravagant buildings, or the blue energy barriers that are passively triggered on the outer walls of floating vehicles, they all seem to be scattered like neon lights in the darkness.

The dense rain curtain has submerged all the peaceful years of the past, and chaos is spreading rampantly.

Through the car window, Veronica licked her crimson lips with delight, saying, "It's wonderful. The Mother of Night will surely sense it."

Her gaze gradually returned to the light blue holographic screen in front of her, which displayed real-time location data.

The locations of Qiao Yuan, Yan Baobao, Director Fan, and Hu Tu are all clearly shown and change from time to time.

"Lord Simon trusts you, but I don't," Veronica said with a half-smile. "You bought a new car but don't drive it yourself, instead letting your good buddy use it, and even bringing his girlfriend along. What a loyal friend!"

"Fine, since you're completely undetectable, I'll go after your good brother Hu Tu after the decapitation operation," she muttered, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration and revealed an evil smile.

"I must have been so angry with that brat tonight that I completely forgot Hu Tu and his girlfriend's parents are still outside the city!"

She already had an idea.

In fact, when they first met, after researching the information about Qiaoyuan City, she always wanted to start with Hu Tu to learn more about him in detail.

But she had been repeatedly refused by Lord Simon, who told her not to cause any trouble. Now, however, she had a perfect reason, one that was even well-intentioned.

If I hadn't been so busy these past two days—

She took a deep breath, gradually suppressing the agitation in her heart, and decided to deal with tonight's matters first.

Veronica stopped paying attention to Hu Tu and Qin Xue on the location interface, because the car had been near Yaoguang University. According to her deduction, it was probably going to go directly into the school to take shelter if necessary.

Her attention quickly fell on Qiao Yuan.

at the same time.

The effects of the massive power outage are still spreading rapidly, reaching as far as outside the city. The fierce battle between the Legalist Heavy Industry and the Skeleton Wyvern army is drawing attention from the second and fourth main cities.

"Fuck! What's going on in the Third Main City? Is there a power outage? What about the backup power?"

James, then deputy battalion commander of the 75th Combat Battalion of the 309th Mech Division of the Third Air Force of the Legalist School, was angrily staring at the dark city behind him and questioning him.

At this moment, on a small logistics starship at an altitude of 6700 meters closest to him, the vice-captain Zhou Guanshan was inspecting the situation with a frown before contacting James and saying, "The nearby backup power stations have all been bombed; there are signs of a hacker intrusion."

"It's easy to handle, but—these guys are strange. Not only the backup power station, but also the electrical wiring and other related equipment for several kilometers were completely destroyed. We need to notify the power company to spend time re-laying the cables—it looks like tonight will be tough."

"What's so strange about that!" James cursed. "They're either cultists or the Twilight Group!"

Zhou Guanshan agreed: "Let's deal with the frontline first, I'll report back here."

Meanwhile, two young people, carrying floral paper umbrellas and dressed in white feather robes, have arrived in a corner of Chang'an District, the third main city.

One of them was thin, while the other was strong and had long black hair.

They all wore crimson masks with delicate cloud patterns engraved on their faces. Their steps were light and their postures were arrogant, as if they were immortals casually surveying this vast lower realm.

"What a hassle! I have a painting I'm about to finish dedicated to the Goddess of Heavenly Secrets!"

"Pfft, I bet the Heavenly Goddess has already calculated that your painting is utterly hideous."

"Don't talk nonsense!"

At that moment, the long-haired youth raised his mechanical left hand, and a three-dimensional light blue holographic screen suddenly popped out from his palm, displaying a map.

He glanced at it and laughed, "They're actually the first batch. They're really slow. It seems this credit belongs to me. The Empress will definitely like it."

"Hmph, shut up, you heretic who defiled the sacred body and fell into the mechanical abyss!" The thin, feathered youth shook his head. "Her Majesty possesses a naturally ruthless Dao body; she wouldn't even glance at you!"

The long-haired youth didn't seem to care at all.

The two of them are currently located near a backup power station in Chang'an District.

Below them, two cultists were continuously sabotaging the electrical conduits.

The gaunt young man shook his head, "What did Your Majesty say again? 'Strike the snake at its vital point'?"

"Yes," the long-haired youth nodded.

"Are you kidding me? What kind of vital spot is this? It's not even snake poop! Asking someone of my status to do this kind of thing is an insult!"

"Even poop has its value."

"What is its value?"

"Well, allow me to compose a poem first. As the saying goes, all things have a spirit, and heaven and earth are flawed—"

One of the cult members, who had just finished his work, couldn't help but look up and glare at him: "Say 'die' again!"

"What did he say again?"

"He seemed to say that he was about to die."

"Oh, how pitiful!" The gaunt young man shook his head compassionately. "I'm a saint, I can't bring myself to do it."

His sarcastic remarks enraged the two cultists below. One of them suddenly rushed over, closed the distance, and grabbed at him fiercely, casting the Eternal Night spell.

But then the gaunt young man waved his umbrella, and it sounded like the cry of a black bird, causing countless raindrops to vibrate continuously, directly causing the cultist to bleed from all seven orifices.

The cultist, in pain, was already trembling violently as he used his power. Driven mad, his eyes turned completely red, and he suddenly pressed his face against the gaunt youth. A terrifying burst of ancient martial arts power violently tore through the layers of rain.

boom!

With just a palm strike and a pull, as if using four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds, the slender young man in feathered robes was directly blasted back seven or eight meters by the cultist.

呲呲呲!

The cultist who was retreating suddenly felt an unbearable itch all over his body. He subconsciously looked shocked, raised his hand, and watched as white feathers pierced out of his skin!

Feathers rapidly sprouted all over his body, and his heart pounded wildly. It was as if some kind of purification technique was used to suppress evil forces, causing his skin and flesh to be torn apart continuously. Before he could even scream, he was reduced to a pile of minced meat.

This extremely terrifying change completely terrified another cult member.

"What went by?" The thin young man looked at the long-haired young man strangely.

"How dare you!" the long-haired youth laughed again. "Aren't you supposed to be a saint? How come you're killing?"

The thin young man smiled seriously: "Not now, but it was just now."

"Very good." The long-haired youth spoke calmly, then suddenly raised his mechanical left hand, pinching his index and ring fingers together to forcefully catch a frozen bullet from another cultist.

It seemed like just an insignificant part of daily life.

The way he casually caught the bullet left the remaining cultist completely dumbfounded.

For the first time, he examined what the white feathered robe and crimson mask truly represented.

However, I couldn't connect it to anything.

No sooner said than done, in the brief moment he hesitated with his mouth slightly open, a piercing explosion rang out, causing the rain curtain to arch.

In an instant, the frozen bullet he had fired himself pierced his mouth with incredible speed. Before he could even process what was happening, he suffered the consequences of his actions, his entire head instantly frozen solid!

Speed, power, and precision all reached levels far beyond his comprehension; they were as fast as lightning.

"You need to use the Ascension Technique for something as simple as waving a hand?"

"Shut up, you heretic!"

"Don't argue tonight. Her Majesty specifically instructed us to keep that young man named Qiao Yuan here."

"So what? I'll see!"

At that time, the Black Rose Clinic.

Qiao Yuan thought for a moment and went into the clinic first, without rushing to set the anchor point.

There was a scanner at the entrance of the clinic. The owner was probably from Veronica; he looked refined, with slightly sallow skin.

The middle-aged man nodded at him, as if he already knew his identity.

The kidnapping, the attack, the encounter with the Night Apostle—all of these are fabricated stories. Everything is normal; it's just an excuse.

However, he soon discovered the problem.

The clinic owner then walked over with a smile and introduced, "These two separate rooms and two warehouses in the back each have passages leading to the underground and the ceiling, which will be used to transfer the gene warriors."

Qiao Yuan nodded repeatedly, and then took out his phone to make a call as agreed.

The trick is actually very ordinary, and it can't even withstand any scrutiny, but after many previous tacit understandings, the more ordinary it is, the simpler it becomes.

And right now, the blackout has just begun, and this place is in the sunset zone.

The delay of a few minutes has made it possible to set the anchor point now; the timing is just right.

With a thought, he suddenly stepped into the river of time, and reappeared five minutes earlier.

This time, he didn't choose the future timeline, but the past timeline.

The reason is quite simple.

He needed to carefully examine the surrounding area for any signs of Veronica and her route.

Normally, this would be like finding a needle in a haystack.

piece of cake.

All we need to do is make a big fuss. If that's not enough, then we'll turn the world upside down.

Qiao Yuan went back five minutes, when it was two minutes before 10 p.m.

This was also the time he felt the strongest sense of returning to the past, because at this moment, he was surrounded by an endless ocean of dazzling neon lights.

The benefits of wearing the mecha suit became apparent: his mobility was terrifyingly enhanced. He could now stroll through the air, casually circling the surrounding area with ease, the increased speed resulting in greater efficiency.

The location of this area is quite meticulous, with a complex mix of storefronts all around. Not far to the left, there is also a huge black market.

The right side connects to the hospital.

Oh, and the boss just mentioned that there's a passageway in the room's ceiling.

The clinic is located directly above Baiyu Station.

He looked thoughtful, sensing that these 10 genetically modified warriors, with an average combat strength of fourth rank, must be extremely secretive in their comings and goings.

But now is not the time.

There's a full hour in the timeline. No rush. First, figure out Veronica's direction. If you can't figure it out in an hour, then do it again, another hour.

But it might not be as complicated as you think, because Simon previously mentioned inspectors.

To be precise, they are supervisors who observe from the shadows, providing detailed real-time reports on every decapitation operation to ensure the execution of the mission and the progress of the entire plan.

They probably don't care much about the betrayal of cult members, since they have incriminating evidence against all the undercover agents and can eliminate them at any time.

In other words, since it's a covert spying, the distance must not be far.

Of course, it is also possible to observe from a distance using a telescope from certain angles.

Qiao Yuan quickly came up with a plan: first explore the nearby locations, then observe possible locations in the distance.

From the perspective of the Black Rose Clinic's facade, the investigation is actually very simple: it's just the huge elevated road in front of this building.

I thought it would take a lot of time.

Unexpectedly, he located Veronica's vehicle in just 20 minutes.

Although the other party had changed to a black car that could be easily concealed in the night, he still observed them closely by looking at the surrounding parked vehicles.

Of course, this is within the timeline; in reality, it would be impossible to detect.

As he had guessed, the other party was located quite far away, about 200 meters to the right of the clinic, diagonally opposite, in front of a shoe store.

The old woman found a very tricky angle, yet she could see the whole picture perfectly.

It must have involved the use of a telescope, or some kind of focusing instrument inside the vehicle.

In addition, the old woman was wearing a pair of black sunglasses, but he recognized her too well and immediately without any hesitation.

Qiao Yuan suddenly felt a bit bored. His prey, which he had been longing for, had been caught so easily. It was really boring.

Consider it a dessert before the meal.

Hopefully, the "Simon" main course will be more interesting and challenging in the future.

Qiao Yuan wasn't in a hurry to leave or return to reality. He sat patiently next to Veronica's hovercar, waiting for his future self to call Director Fan, while also observing the changes here.

However, there are always variables in the predetermined future.

According to the plan he had previously devised with Director Li, Director Fan, and Teacher Daisy, it was actually centered around him, using the clues he provided to make changes to several backup plans at any time.

That is, he has already revealed that the inspector this time is Veronica.

However, this is on the premise that the other party's location is unknown and cannot be checked in reality.

It can only be done through the timeline.

After confirming the situation, Hu Tu will drive his sports car to harass the other party and take them down in one fell swoop.

There are actually many details involved.

The most crucial thing is...

He will not contact Hutu by mobile phone.

After all, he already knew that Veronica was monitoring his location and call records.

While formulating the plan in the previous office, he had already reached a new communication agreement with Hu Tu. Through the Internet of Everything of Fajia Heavy Industry, he would record and upload the information to his Fajia Fire Phoenix Mech and synchronize it to the Fajia X3000 sports car!

To be precise, this is not a means of communication.

It's uploaded to the cloud!

Whether it's the mecha or the sports car, they're all his own, and very, very private.

The second detail is...

His initial plan was to use Veronica's memories to launch a full-scale counterattack.

But he changed later.

On the one hand, Veronica's memories are mostly sealed away.

On the other hand, these sealed memories contain content related to his being a cult member.

Rather than putting Director Fan and his group in a difficult position...

Why not just kick Veronica out of the game and let him take over completely? Anyway, he has the Eternal Ronaldo trait, so he won't be detected by the lie detector.

simply put.

He no longer needs Veronica.

But the other party needs to be arrested.

Anyway, once the other party is caught, Simon's suspicions and doubts about him will disappear.

A win-win situation, killing two birds with one stone!

It must be said that discussing solutions together is often very helpful.

But now there are new problems.

Although he had deliberately chosen to enter the timeline while making a phone call to Director Fan.

It's essentially still proceeding step by step.

Director Fan appears, falls into a trap, and is quickly surrounded and wiped out by a genetically modified team that was prepared in the dark.

But in reality, he won't follow this future; in fact, his past situation has already created a kind of time paradox.

"I predicted the original future, but what I want is the future after I've changed that original future—the future I've rewritten!"

Qiao Yuan unconsciously raised his hand to rub his head before realizing that he was wearing a helmet and his hands were touching metal.

"Damn! Then we'll have to do it again."

The thought of wasting another timeline pained him, even though there were less than two hours left until midnight, and he still had one more chance to break through to the second-tier Overlord level and refresh his super trump card 7 times.

"It still doesn't work, we need to go and take a look."

He quickly got to the point, first admitting that he had to waste a timeline in this unexpected time paradox.

However, it can also be utilized to the fullest extent.

For example, go and see what the genetic modification team did after Fan Ju fell into the conspiracy in the original future. Experience it in advance and improve your understanding of life-and-death combat. You have to gain something from it.

He quickly set off, rushing into the Black Rose Clinic, and caught a glimpse of the genetic modification team arriving one after another from the boss's gaze.

Ten reckless fourth-tier warriors—frankly, that's an absurd number. The most formidable opponent he had ever faced was Jim, who had reached the fourth level of ascension, and was on the verge of death.

Later, Zhu Xuan, the hungry wolf from the Kingdom of Desire, also came into close contact with him, but they never fought.

He waited, and in the meantime, he went to check on Veronica again to make sure she was still there and hadn't changed her position again.

After waiting for more than twenty minutes, Director Fan's car finally arrived, along with Captain He and others.

Following his own introduction, he entered and was quickly greeted by powerful genetically modified warriors rushing out of the warehouse and rooms. At the same time, the clinic's doors and windows slammed shut, seemingly concealing a layer of high-strength metal plates. The clinic owner then launched a sneak attack.

Qiao Yuan looked on with a gloomy expression.

The scene before him was extremely bloody. Captain He, caught off guard, was directly injured by one of the genetically modified soldiers. Under the powerful attack, Captain He quickly lost his left arm, and both legs were subsequently fractured.

He didn't rush to make a move, but continued to observe.

He wanted to see for himself just how terrifying these genetically modified warriors with their steel-like bodies really were. He remembered that when he first came into contact with them, Simon thought of these genetically modified warriors as a force called the Titan Squad.

The fact that Captain He, a dignified fourth-tier fighter, was seriously injured in less than thirty seconds made his eyelids twitch slightly.

With its liquid metal blood, stone beast skin, and highly elastic tympanic membrane layer, it not only has a constitution approaching level 40, but also deals terrifying damage. Even against a level 30 constitution that can withstand all conventional bullets, it can easily break bones.

Director Fan is also facing difficulties.

As the saying goes, two fists can't beat four hands, even if the opponent uses the Spear of Time and Space.

In just three minutes.

After killing seven gene warriors in succession, Director Fan finally collapsed, bleeding profusely.

The terrifying leaf worm's self-repairing skeletal genes allowed four of the fallen gene warriors to barely stand up again, preventing them from being completely killed!

As expected of the Titans Squad —

Qiao Yuan finally gained a comprehensive understanding of these genetically modified warriors: "It only lasted three minutes—but Fan Ju of the time-space sequence is indeed strong, able to kill 7 out of 10 opponents."

He took a deep breath and, seeing that the genetically modified soldiers were about to dispose of the corpses, he decisively took action and directly cast the Kingdom Accord!

"Director Fan lasted three minutes against 10 opponents, while I remained invisible throughout, and I wonder how many times I managed to take on 7 opponents."

Qiao Yuan murmured to himself, still quite enthusiastic about this challenge.

Time ticks by.

Two minutes later, he began to pant. Despite using a lot of methods, these guys' self-repair ability was truly terrifying. It seemed that as long as they couldn't be killed directly, they could very well recover.

But after he released the Kingdom Protocol three times, he gradually discovered that these guys also had the law of conservation of energy. After the first resurrection, the second resurrection would be very difficult, or even fail.

Ultimately, they are not invincible.

Even if they only have a second life, these 10 people are equivalent to 20 people.

It is indeed fatal for a fifth-order opponent.

Gradually, he reached three minutes, even four minutes, and defeated all four gene warriors who had been resurrected once before.

This time, only one was resurrected, but it was teetering on the brink of collapse and had little fighting power left.

Although Qiao Yuan was panting heavily, the intelligence he had obtained in actual combat was still very valuable.

Even after his necromancer was completely destroyed, and his mech suit began to smoke, he did not choose to back down and continued to fight until the very end.

In his final moments, covered in blood, he saw Veronica arrive after hearing the news.

call!

Back in reality, inside the mecha helmet, Qiao Yuan's face was covered in a bead of cold sweat.

not bad.

Veronica never left; she was only alerted at the end and came to check on things.

It was totally worth it!

Thanks to his invisibility, he held out for a full eight minutes. Had he not made that desperate last move, he could have escaped at any moment.

Aside from the eight-minute duration, he killed three resurrected genetically modified soldiers.

However, for those who did not revive, the entire process was basically just scraping.

The damage only occurred when the Kingdom of Heaven's covenant was triggered. Two were killed in succession, so overall the number was still considerable.

This psychic heavenly agreement, where words become law, is indeed terrifyingly powerful.

[Combat Enlightenment accumulated +3.5%, current total enlightenment value 12.1%.]

He was very satisfied with this result. Previously, the highest increase was only 1.6%, but this time, the battle lasted less than 10 minutes and he gained 3.5%.

He didn't even quite understand.

"In terms of intensity, it's actually stronger on land. The breakthrough boost doubles, which should be related to the battle rhythm, right? I was below before, and although I was exhausted every time, and even accidentally got crushed to death by a large monster, most of the time I was constantly being pulled and even flying into the air —"

"It's completely different here!"

Qiao Yuan quickly realized: "I have very few escape routes here, in a space of less than 200 square meters, and I have to face seven people working together!"

He suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "This is probably the real life-or-death struggle, not the tug-of-war I thought before. Actually, there was tug-of-war in the last eight minutes, but it wasn't as free as on land."

At this moment, Qiao Yuan had a profound realization: "If things continue like this, my understanding of life-and-death battles will surely improve rapidly!"

Looking back now, this wasted time is no longer a loss, but rather a huge gain.

Qiao Yuan was lost in thought, still dialing Director Fan's number, but the call had not yet been answered.

Meanwhile, he has uploaded Veronica's exact location to the cloud.

Hu Tu, who was far away at Yaoguang University, received the corresponding coordinates instantly.

"They're here!"

Hu Tu, who had been waiting patiently, suddenly became incredibly excited and set the corresponding coordinates, causing the sports car to speed towards Baiyu Station.

Qin Xue, who was standing next to her, was also encouraged and stared intently at the location on the map.

Although he was currently wearing Ember's mecha suit, the same one as Yan Baobao, and was still inside the enclosed floating vehicle, he was still uneasy.

At the same time, Director Fan also quickly made preparations after connecting with Qiao Yuan on the phone.

She nodded to her mentor, Director Li, preparing to issue a warning to key figures such as the Baiyun Branch Director and the Mingyue Branch Director in the name of the General Administration.

At the same time, an elite squad will be dispatched to secretly cooperate with Hutu and capture Veronica quickly!

This is their plan.

Only by capturing Veronica and then notifying the other branch chiefs can Simon's suspicions about Qiao Yuan be completely dispelled.

At the same time, it indirectly protected the safety of Qiao Yuan, Yan Baobao, Hu Tu and others.

Hu Tu's side, Director Fan's side, the elite team's side, and Qiao Yuan's side are all racing against time for this crucial matter!

Even a slight delay could put other branch chiefs in mortal danger.

Normally, it takes them about 20 minutes to get to their location.

So they just shortened the plan to within ten minutes, or even five minutes, because Hutu's side is not far from Baiyu Station.

At a speed of 390 kilometers per hour, if the engine is at full power, it can arrive in just a few minutes.

Unlike before, when you had to travel from the Sunset District to the North Sea District, or from the Sunset District to the New Weilen District.

The next ten minutes or so can be used as a buffer, giving Simon time to think they can pry out the answer and launch a counterattack.

This plan is not absolutely perfect, but it is the most perfect plan at present.

After completing all preparations, Qiao Yuan set up the markers again and arrived in the future.

He had to see if any new variables would arise in this future he had rewritten.

Simon was worried about the execution of the decapitation operation, and he was also worried that Director Fan's plan might be leaked after it was disseminated.

This time it was two minutes later.

He gradually realized that everything was the same as before; Veronica's car was still parked in front of the shoe store, silent and still in the darkness, without any change.

"All done," Qiao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Six minutes passed.

Hutu drove to the vicinity and, together with the elite team that had arrived earlier, completely sealed off the area from both physical and neural network perspectives with lightning speed.

The intense biological interference left Veronica with no chance to react.

Qiao Yuan reviewed everything from beginning to end, including the clinic's reaction.

Back in reality, he waited quietly.

It only took eight minutes.

Suddenly, a call from Director Fan popped up on his phone. Qiao Yuan answered it in a strange manner and deliberately let the clinic owner next to him hear the conversation.

"What? You caught a cult member on the road, and a member of the Twilight Group at that?"

The refined-looking clinic owner's expression suddenly changed. He subconsciously took out his phone to try to contact Uronika, only to find that the signal was completely cut off.

At the same time, the lights of numerous Ember hovercars and sirens blared outside. His sallow face suddenly turned deathly pale. "Damn it! Veronica's been captured! What are you all doing? Trying to get me killed?"

After ending the call, Qiao Yuan feigned surprise and launched into a tirade against the clinic owner: "What do I do? Tell me what to do now? I'm exposed! I'm doomed! Yu Jin will kill me!"

He went berserk, grabbing the clinic owner by the collar and yelling, "Take me to Simon! I need to see him now, immediately! Right now!"

The clinic owner was completely dumbfounded, his lips trembling as he stammered, "I—I don't know, I don't have Lord Simon's address either—"

"Damn it! A car? Is there a car?"

Seeing the clinic owner dawdling, Qiao Yuan couldn't help but yell again, "Aren't you leaving?"

The clinic owner panicked, only then realizing that there were other genetically modified warriors behind him.

"There are genetically modified soldiers behind you who can try to delay them for you. You'd better run!"

"I will contact the other Night Messengers and inform Lord Simon to do everything possible to protect you—"

Seeing that the clinic owner was still thinking of him at the end, Qiao Yuan nodded insincerely: "Thanks, but if I'm still alive, well, we'll see—"

He was quite satisfied with the ending.

We could let Director Fan let the clinic owner off the hook, allowing him to go back and inform Simon, thus completely eliminating Simon's suspicions about him. That would be perfect.

He quickly flew out, swooping down into the abyss below, and at the same time uploaded another message to the cloud, instructing Hu Tu to pass it on to Director Fan.

The monitoring room is in Simon's basement. If we talk to Director Fan at this critical moment and Simon intercepts the call, all our efforts will be in vain.

Cloud synchronization is great!

Two minutes later, he received a response from Hutu, saying that everything was going according to his plan.

According to the previously agreed plan, he did not meet with Director Fan and Bao Bao immediately.

It's not the right time yet.

And also about Gavin Girard!

During his escape, he dialed the other party's number and cut to the chase, explaining all the uncertainties surrounding Veronica: "I'm afraid I'll be killed by the Embers soon, please help me, Gavin! I don't want to die—"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

"Gavin-senpai, say something! What's going on? Why is she nearby?"

"I'm sorry, Qiao Yuan—" Gavin Girard said regretfully, "I can't help you, but Veronica is indeed a bitch. If she gets caught, the entire Night Plan may be rewritten. Damn it, not to mention you, even I might not be able to protect myself."

"What should we do then?"

"What do you mean, what should we do? Run! If you can escape, consider yourself lucky—we'll meet again someday."

Gavin Girard hung up the phone immediately.

Qiao Yuan then smiled.

You're done!

In this way, his suspicions will be completely cleared, and Simon will no longer doubt him.

Ten minutes later, an Ember-powered hovercar appeared behind him, relentlessly pursuing him.

This is also part of the plan!

He frantically fled, traversing countless abysses, covering more than ten kilometers in total, constantly calling and texting Gavin Girard along the way.

Exhausted, he was eventually arrested on the spot by the Ember Squad and taken to the airship.

It was all a show.

Because Simon had said that after the Night Project, they would be located in real time.

If they had met directly with Director Fan and others earlier, it might have resulted in all their previous efforts being wasted.

They could only stage a real life-or-death escape.

The members in the car were another elite squad that Director Fan and his team had previously deployed.

At this moment, he was escorted back to the Tiandu Branch Bureau as a prisoner, and back to Director Fan's office.

All doors and windows were completely covered, and the entire Tiandu branch was placed on the highest alert level.

At the same time, with Director Li's authority, a special summons has been issued to the chiefs of all branches in the Sunset District, and a full-scale crackdown on undercover agents has begun!

Qiao Yuan stopped paying attention to these things.

His heart was burning with passion, and he walked into the interrogation room in Director Fan's office without hesitation.

And sat down next to Yan Baobao.

"Be angry, hate, you worthless old woman," he said with a smile, looking at Veronica, who was tightly bound by mechanical devices.

Director Fan had more important things to do, so he handed the matter over to Bao Bao.

The moment Qiao Yuan stepped into the interrogation room, Veronica, who had remained silent until then, suddenly began to struggle violently as if electrocuted, letting out a wild scream from her throat.

Her azure eyes widened in terror as she stared in disbelief at Qiao Yuan, a member of the Embers, who had taken the initiative to sit before her and interrogate her about all her crimes.

"You—it's you?"

"No, no! That's impossible!"

"You're clearly a cultist too! You're a cultist who's practiced forbidden techniques of the night!"

At this moment, Qiao Yuan smiled and licked his lips, saying, "Oh? Really? How come I didn't know?"
