Chapter 1184: Chapter 982: The Man Who Deceived Fate - Part 2
In the cartoon world, everyone is as invincible as cockroaches.
Those who appear battered and as fragile as candles in the wind, can bounce back to life in the next scene as if nothing had happened.
As for the fist-fighting street brawls, they can last for over a dozen pages.
In the comics Benjamin had encountered so far, there were some hidden rules, including the law that "the villain will always successfully escape."
Whenever villains were cornered, as soon as they activated their escape skills, they could miraculously get away.
Even if they were beaten to a semi-paralyzed state in a brutal fistfight, they could use the trajectory of being knocked away as their escape route.
At this moment, the canvas he was holding in his hand was his escape route.
Benjamin caught a glimpse of Angle reaching the edge of the window, but his attention didn’t linger long on this Homeland Security Bureau Agent.
He didn’t need to act personally; the pursuers from the investigative agency would soon arrive.
The villains always had more tricks up their sleeves.
After negotiations broke down, he had sent Angle’s location to the Special Case Investigation Bureau.
The roar of an armored floating car approached; two floating cars had already locked onto Angle’s position.
However, Benjamin had a feeling that this was not the end of their encounters; someday they would meet again, just like how villains always find an escape route when they’re cornered, and how the righteous protagonists, even if faced with injustice, always manage to turn misfortune into a blessing.
Angle Saffron.
He etched this name in his memory and decided to leave the outcome for their next meeting.
It was fifteen minutes later when he arrived at the commercial area.
The dust on the highway had already dispersed, and Benjamin bent down to examine the scattered building debris at his feet, while members of the Peacekeeping Forces had started to survey the scene in the distance.
As he had anticipated, this was not a conventional explosion.
He bent down, picked up a piece of Lego debris, and easily found the matching part nearby.
He avoided the patrolling Peacekeeping Forces members as he moved upwards.
His long-disconnected partner had finally come online again, sending him the internal communications of the Peacekeeping Forces.
They were now tallying the casualties.
It was hard to imagine that this massive explosion, which nearly triggered an earthquake in The First Region, had caused only one fatality.
Benjamin finally comprehended why the psychic human bomb did not detonate.
According to his partner, the explosion resulted from Psychic Abilities in an extremely unstable state, therefore the only way to defuse the bomb was to kill the Psychic before detonation.
Once the Psychic’s consciousness dissipated, the fusion process would naturally stop.
According to the internal communications of the Peacekeeping Forces, someone took advantage of the fog to break in and assassinate Qi Yun.
When the dust settled and everything returned to normal, they found Qi Yun peacefully resting at the roadside, already lifeless.
After a round of emergency aid, medical personnel reluctantly declared Qi Yun’s death.
People who had just survived this ordeal accepted this outcome; in fact, having only one death was considered very fortunate. At the moment of the explosion, members of the Peacekeeping Forces were even prepared to sacrifice themselves.
Even Benjamin stopped in his tracks, readily accepting this outcome like everyone else.
Sensing their intent, Qi Yun’s companion took the most straightforward and brutal approach.
Once she was dead, all the clues hidden on her disappeared.
The organization once again vanished into the fog; before their next voluntary appearance, nobody could trace the "Ghost" again.
Thinking from their perspective, Benjamin felt that if he were in their situation, he would make the same decision.
If someone’s existence could potentially expose the organization’s information, he would not hesitate to do the same.
But...
This precisely proved that the extremist organization composed of Psychics truly existed, and Benjamin believed that their ultimate goal was to awaken the dormant "Devil".
Although the explosion did not cause casualties, they could still pin the incident on the Psychic.
The nature of the event shifted from an indiscriminate bomb attack to a deterrent action.
Meanwhile, in the back of the van, Anjing’s face was pale.
She closed her notebook, shut her eyes, and began to breathe lightly.
"Are you alright?"
Gustav asked concernedly; he and Anjing had partnered on many missions, and she had never shown such an expression after using her abilities before.
This was a symptom of Psychic energy overuse, and Anjing’s clenched fists indicated she was in great pain.
"Song Lan once said, to change fate, one must bear the corresponding cost."
For a moment, Anjing felt as if her soul was pulled out of her body, only to be placed back by some force eventually.
Perhaps it was Song Lan giving her a nudge at a critical moment, preventing her immediate death after using her abilities.
Now, they had completed their plan without much risk.
Qi Yun’s "death" had become an established fact, and it wouldn’t be long before the Homeland Security Bureau announced this news.
This was a necessary deception to cheat fate.
Rescuing Qi Yun was futile.
In the more than twenty years since he left, there was always the possibility that Qi Yun could fall into the same pattern; thus, "death" was the only permanent solution.
Even the ruler hidden deep in prison would not target someone already confirmed dead.
As they talked, a figure in a Peacekeeping Forces uniform approached them from a distance.
Qi He’s face was solemn; he had been on edge since arriving here and hadn’t rested for a moment.
Returning to the past meant all his societal connections built up were now void; in this era, Qi He was just a youngster without much experience, and without Qi Yun’s matter, he would just be another "talent reserve" for the foundation.
Nevertheless, Qi He had managed to get his hands on these devices.
"The drug lasts for 14 hours."
After taking the driver’s seat, Qi He leaned back in his seat, seemingly drained.
This was just the start of their operations, and what followed was crucial.
"Tonight, the body will be sent to the original prosthetic hospital and the family notified. If all goes well, it will be sent for cremation tomorrow morning. We need to act during the transport of the body, switch out the body, and then figure out a way to get her out of the city."
They also devised several "strategies" for Qi Yun; if followed, they should enable her to hold on until she becomes a representative of the foundation and secretly establishes a Psychic organization.
"Will it go smoothly?"
Gustav was somewhat uneasy, "After all, one night might be a bit too hasty."
"My father is that kind of person."
Qi He said, "He never dwells on those who are gone."
Perhaps that’s why his father could climb up the corporate ladder time and again, no matter how many times history repeats itself, and regardless of whether it was him or his sister who died in this "peculiar sickness", the future was set.
Those who survive can turn another’s death into good fortune.
"He really is too busy, not even having time for grief, and has to use this incident to pressure the Psychic research institutions and the Review Meeting, followed by a series of negotiations."
Qi He added, "He will also visit the hospital tomorrow, but only to personally collect the death certificate."
"Jeez, what a cold-hearted corporate man."
Gustav clicked his tongue in wonder.
Not a moment of grief for his daughter’s death, but transforming it all into negotiation leverage for future profits.
"That’s how corporations operate, those who can’t keep their emotions inside have long been eliminated."
Pausing a moment, Qi He added, "Get some rest early, we have a tough battle tomorrow morning."
