Excessive ferocity due to caution

"The old man is dead, and I don't want to live anymore. Let them kill me or torture me as they please..."

After crying, the old woman resigned herself to her fate.

"Take Xiaoshun with you and go to a safe place."

"Leave this place and never come back!"

P:

"If you don't leave, Xiao Shun will never leave."

The old woman said hysterically:

"Then we'll all die here!"

"Isn't this exactly what you wanted?!"

Why pretend here?

P looked at the old woman frantically scratching at him in his arms, his eyes filled with unspeakable grief. He grabbed the nearly collapsing old woman and whispered:

"We won't leave... Master's wife, we won't leave..."

"I'll find a safe place and hide you away."

The old woman choked back tears and collapsed into his arms, sobbing.

In the pouring rain, P held the helpless old woman in his arms, looked up at the sky, and wanted to shout out loud.

The emotions that had been building up inside him for decades almost became a mountain that crushed him.

But he can't call out.

He must remain silent, just as he has for decades since Cherry left.

Large raindrops hit his eyes, causing a stinging sensation, but P didn't want to close them. He just stared intently at the sky, his eyes almost bursting open!

After a long while, he led the old woman back to the room, and his expression returned to calm.

"Tomorrow, I'll take you and Xiaoshun to a hiding place where the military can't find it. After that, I'll continue investigating the teacher's matter..."

Upon hearing this, the elderly woman, head bowed and heartbroken, immediately grasped his hand as if it were a lifeline, her expression showing an unusual tremor.

"Really?"

"You...you must find the old man, he won't die..."

"He won't abandon us, mother and child!"

"Please, you must find him!!"

Seeing the tears in the old woman's eyes, P nodded stiffly.

"I...I will definitely find him."

Twenty minutes later, he left.

Sobbing could still be heard from the room behind them.

Or perhaps it was the sound of rain.

His mind was in complete turmoil, and he could no longer discern the truth.

P took a deep breath and felt dizzy.

Thirty-six years ago, after graduating, he first came into contact with the "Blue Poison" project through Cherry's introduction.

Thirty-three years ago, he personally sent cherries into the prison of the desert.

P will never forget the way Cherry looked at him that year.

"It was...it was so close to success..."

Why...?

P clenched his fists tightly, the tightness in his chest almost making him explode.

The capriciousness of fate made him feel an unprecedented sense of frustration and powerlessness.

Thirty-three years of hard work, all for naught.

Everything he had endured and sacrificed over the past thirty-three years had become a joke.

He stood in the rain for a long time before opening his umbrella again.

His stubborn movements did nothing to stop the rain or make him look less disheveled; he was already soaked to the bone, looking like a drowned rat.

But he still chose to use an umbrella.

Through the rain, P's gaze hardened once more.

...

military region.

The corpses of all nine S-class Inhumans were returned.

All the corpses were mutilated.

Even the white lotus flower had a bloody hole in its chest, and its heart had long since disappeared.

Some of the council's senior members stood in the morgue, looking at the mutilated corpses before them, all remaining silent.

"The criminal Zhao Yi left behind some organs from these corpses, seemingly as a show of defiance against us."

"After examination, it was determined that the most powerful of these superhumans, Bai Lianhua, died from a missing heart, while there were no other injuries on her body."

Forensic expert Qin Ming said this.

"This means... that Bai Lianhua offered no resistance when Zhao Yi killed her."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment.

Why is this happening?

Someone asked.

Qin Ming replied:

"Based on the current situation, the criminal who killed Bai Lianhua should possess strong telekinetic abilities, controlling Bai Lianhua's consciousness and rendering her unable to resist..."

"Based on data from the military's Storm Domination Platform, for a psychic ability to reach this level, its strength must far exceed S-rank!"

"None of the criminals in the Sand Sea Cage have reached this level of mental strength, so we speculate that the person who killed Bai Lianhua was the mysterious prisoner Zhao Yi who suddenly appeared."

"After controlling the white lotus with his telekinesis, he used a sharp blade to remove part of the white lotus's sternum, exposing its heart inside. Finally... he removed the white lotus's heart with his bare hands."

As Qin Ming spoke, he handed a report to each member of the council present, his tone extremely serious:

"What surprised and bewildered us the most was that we found some withered vines on the wounds of Bai Lianhua's corpse. The substance of these vines could not be analyzed."

"Furthermore, the remaining supernatural power in the deceased White Lotus was already close to that of an ordinary person. We extracted some cells from White Lotus's wounds and surrounding body and found that the concentration of remaining supernatural power in the cells at the wound sites was relatively high, while the concentration in other places was extremely low..."

Listening to the report, Qiu Feng couldn't help but say:

"To conclude."

Qin Ming paused, glanced at Qiu Feng, and said helplessly:

"The conclusion is that the white lotus's superpowers were absorbed by the strange substance that parasitized her wounds."

Qiu Feng was taken aback upon hearing this:

"Able to absorb the energy of ice-type abilities?"

Qin Ming's expression was serious:

"Sir, it's not that the energy of the ice-type ability was absorbed... it's that the ability itself was absorbed."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present was stunned.

The superpower itself was absorbed?

Qin Ming's tone was strange:

"That's what makes it so strange. If the other party has this kind of ability, it would be terrifying..."

"Any person with supernatural abilities who is accidentally injured by him during a battle will have their power disappear at a visible rate."

"In other words, if the heroes of the Outcasts aren't confident they can defeat Zhao Yi without getting injured, they'll never be able to beat him!"

Upon hearing this conclusion, everyone present fell silent, and the atmosphere became exceptionally heavy.

Qin Ming tucked the report under his arm, put on a mask, and addressed the senior members of parliament:

"Do any of you gentlemen have any further questions?"

"If not, I'm prepared to drag these corpses out and dispose of them. Without the protection of superpowers, their bodies will decompose very quickly in this weather."

Council President Zhou Shao waved his hand, and Qin Ming began to move the bodies.

"Go back and prepare. I will be holding another meeting in three hours... Everyone must be present!"

Zhou Shao said this, and then everyone dispersed.

Back in his office, Qiu Feng called Chang Yong into his office.

"General, what is it?"

Qiu Feng, with a cigar dangling from his mouth, carefully examined Chang Yong:

"You are very smart."

"You were the only one with supernatural abilities to survive this operation; that's excellent!"

Chang Yong scratched his head and said:

"No, General, it's thanks to your foresight that the undercover agent you sent saved my life."

Undercover?

Qiu Feng was stunned for a moment.

When did he send out his undercover agent?

"What does the undercover agent look like?"

"Male or female?"

Chang Yong replied respectfully:

"It's a man."

"Very fat."

Qiu Feng nodded:

"That was indeed an undercover agent I sent out... You can go now. Be prepared at any time; there might be a big operation."

Chang Yong nodded, turned and left the room.
