Told You I Can Turn Back Time
Chapter 78 - 78 78 Welfare Home

78: Chapter 78: Welfare Home 78: Chapter 78: Welfare Home Hearing the sudden warning from Number Four, both Si Yunfeng and Wan Lan were slightly startled and instinctively followed the other out of the carriage.

But moments later, when nothing happened, they looked at Number Four in confusion.

Number Four stroked his chin and said, “How should I explain this… You can think of me as having a kind of precognitive ability to foresee certain life-threatening dangers.”

Looking at Number Four, who had suddenly become nervous, Wan Lan frowned and said, “But there’s been no explosion.”

Number Four appeared to think for a moment, then said, “After I left, that carriage didn’t explode, which suggests the attack was specifically targeting me.”

Wan Lan and Si Yunfeng exchanged a glance, both feeling that the other had become delusional.

They then exited the subway and arrived at a large station with a complex layout, following Number Four as they moved forward.

Shortly after they left, the train was urgently halted, passengers evacuated, and a large number of staff began searching each carriage.

After leaving the subway station, Si Yunfeng and Wan Lan walked about two kilometers with Number Four and finally reached an orphanage.

Seeing Number Four just standing at the door, not going in, they exchanged another glance, clueless about what was going on with him.

Wan Lan whispered, “Are we just going to wait here?”

Si Yunfeng shrugged his shoulders.

Although he didn’t understand what Number Four was up to, he chose to follow orders.

Just as Wan Lan was getting impatient and thinking about urging Number Four.

Number Four kept shaking his head and said, “What does this all mean?”

He looked at the orphanage in front of him and sighed, “What on earth do you want to do?”

Watching Number Four’s troubled look, Wan Lan asked curiously, “What is it now?”

Number Four stared at the orphanage and slowly began to speak, “After we went in, we first met with the director of the orphanage, then under their guidance, started to look through the records in the archive room.”

Wan Lan was stunned and then joked, “We went in?

When did we go in?”

Si Yunfeng, thoughtfully, said, “He must be talking about his precognition, about what will happen after we go in.”

Wan Lan rolled her eyes, thinking Number Four was acting crazy again.

Number Four, however, paid them no attention, as if he was simply recalling and talking to himself, “The conditions here are not very good, the bookshelves and tables in the archive room are quite dirty, and we spent some time cleaning up first.”

“The shelves are filled with various records, the quality of which is quite poor, and it’s taking me a while to find what I need.”

“It took about three hours, but I finally found what I was looking for… a record of a child’s life here.”

At this point, a trace of bewilderment appeared in Number Four’s eyes.

Listening to him, Wan Lan grew curious, “What happened next?”

Number Four continued, “Then the explosion happened.”

“Because I… perceived that the archive room was going to explode, this time… we retreated to the conference room half an hour earlier.”

“Then the conference room also exploded, and I retreated to the corridor half an hour earlier.”

“Then the activity room, the front desk, the main entrance, the courtyard.”

“I kept avoiding the explosions in advance.”

“And the premonition of… the explosion was being pushed forward.”

“Until just now, I… had the premonition that crossing this door would get me killed.”

Number Four murmured softly, “By that calculation, the time keeps moving back by over three hours.”

Wan Lan was confused, not understanding at all what he meant.

Si Yunfeng seemed to be trying to understand as he said, “Are you saying that each time you foresee an event, you are attacked, and as the number of premonitions increases, the time of the attack is brought forward?”

Number Four looked at him and thought for a moment before saying, “You could understand it that way, for now.”

Wan Lan, however, started to laugh, “Do you have a big feud with someone?

Always thinking someone’s out to kill you?”

Number Four, however, revealed a smile filled with irony, “Those who want to kill me aren’t necessarily out to harm me.

Those who want me alive aren’t necessarily doing it for my sake.”

Glancing at the orphanage one last time, Number Four turned and left, “Let’s go, I’ve already found what I was looking for here.”

Watching Number Four’s retreating figure, both Wan Lan and Si Yunfeng were utterly baffled.

But perhaps Lv Ming’s earlier admonition had an effect, as they didn’t think too much and just followed Number Four.

Not long after the three of them left, a large number of official personnel surrounded the orphanage, and amidst the puzzled looks of many teachers and children, they began to search the entire compound.

A large number of explosives were soon found.

Lv Ming, upon learning the outcome of this action, furrowed his eyebrows deeply, “Who is attacking Lin Xing again?

Who wants him dead?”

…

Si Yunfeng and Wan Lan followed along, only to find that Number Four was preparing to head to the airport.

Wan Lan exclaimed in surprise, “You’re leaving East Sea City?”

Number Four nodded, “The clue I found points to Nanjiang City.”

Nanjiang City was a small city in the northeast, about a thousand kilometers from East Sea City.

“Going that far?” Wan Lan sighed, as she had thought this mission would be easy, but now she was going to have to follow this madman all that way.

She immediately contacted Lv Ming to ask if they really had to do this.

Lv Ming’s reply was to act according to Number Four’s instincts, and they would prepare the necessary documents for them to take the plane.

So Number Four, along with a helpless-looking Wan Lan and a stoic Si Yunfeng, arrived at East Sea City’s airport.

After resting for a night at a hotel near the airport, and a journey of several hours, the three of them arrived outside a manor in the suburbs of Nanjiang City.

As they arrived, the gates of the manor opened as if the owner had been expecting them.

After entering the manor, they were met with a huge garden.

They discovered many people there, some kneeling in corners praying, others sitting in meditation on cushions, and still others paying homage to a strange divine statue.

Wan Lan thought to herself, “Is this place like a temple?”

When the three of them arrived in front of a mansion within the garden, they saw an elderly man with white hair and simple dress, who seemed to have been waiting for them.

The elder looked at Number Four and said, “It seems you’ve looked through the orphanage’s records?”

Number Four eyed him and said, “Who exactly are you?

Were you the one who sent me to the orphanage?”

The elder nodded, “You can call me Tian Jizi, and as for my identity, I’m just an old man who has defected from the Xingxiao Sect.”
