How to capture the evil villain? I choose to be his mother!

Chapter 495 Star Sea Time-Space Bureau 4
In a stagnant atmosphere.

Quinn was the first to speak up and break the silence:

"...Alright, let's not talk about these unpleasant things, since you don't plan to go back to the Time and Space Bureau."

Zhu Wen snorted, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Quinn poured her another cup of tea:

"So how did you feel about these missions?"

Zhu Wen narrowed his eyes:
"You're not going to pretend with me anymore?"

Quinn gave a wry smile:

"It's pointless, I can't hide it from your discerning eyes anyway."

Zhu Wen flicked his sleeve, sending 233 flying out and hovering in mid-air.

Earthquake! Earthquake!

233 screamed in terror.

At the same time, he loosened his hands that were tightly covering his ears.

Zhu Wen blew a breath on it and helped it turn over:
"Where did this earthquake come from? Wake up."

233 belatedly realized what was happening and awkwardly lowered her hand:
Excuse me, sir, and oh, chief, I almost fell asleep just now.

233 may be silly, but he has a good sense of propriety.

It knows what to listen to and what not to listen to.

Therefore, as soon as Zhu Wen and Quinn stepped into the director's office, it automatically covered its ears and did not eavesdrop on a single word they said.

This leaves it completely bewildered, unable to understand why the two important figures suddenly turned their attention to it.

At this moment, Zhu Wen spoke first:
"233 was sent by you, wasn't it?"

The 233-year-old with small eyes who was called out looked bewildered:
【Huh? Who? Me?】

Quinn had expected this, and remained quite calm:
“I never intended to keep it a secret from you—indeed, I implanted something in it to break through that protective barrier and find your vacation spot.”

As a retired bigwig from the Time and Space Bureau, Zhu Wen enjoys incredibly good treatment in all aspects, and becoming a planetary ruler is a piece of cake for him.

If it really is a vacation planet under her own control, even if Quinn were to take action, 233 would not be able to break through the protective shield she has set up.

Unfortunately, during that time, Zhu Wen went to a very famous ocean planet, which was said to have been one of the habitats of the legendary Star Sea Mermaids and a well-known resort destination throughout the Star Sea.

That planet happened to be under the jurisdiction of the Time and Space Bureau, which is why 233 was able to arrive at Zhu Wen's side silently and successfully bind with her.

Otherwise, how could a fledgling system be qualified to get close to Zhu Wen?
Quinn, as the one behind it all, frankly stated:

“I also want to help you. Zero, you should have realized that those worlds... are all worlds where you once existed. The bodies you transmigrated into were originally your own bodies.”

Zhu Wen remained silent.

in fact……

She realized it in the first world.

Otherwise, given her personality, she wouldn't have been so invested.

To be precise, those worlds were her punishment and reincarnation worlds.

Having worked on missions for the Time and Space Bureau for many years, Zhu Wen inevitably had moments of failure, such as mission failure or going too far.

Her punishment was to erase all her memories of the Time and Space Bureau and throw her into one of the thousands of small worlds to live a painful and torturous mortal life.

Such things are often a double-edged sword; for mission takers like Zhu Wen, it is both a punishment and a form of training.

It's like the "tribulation" often mentioned in cultivation worlds.

Only by enduring the seven emotions and six sufferings can one see through the ways of the world, overcome calamities, and reach a higher level of strength.

However, this kind of "trial" doesn't seem to be of much use to Zhu Wen.

Once she left, she was gone. Those seemingly punishing ordinary lives had no effect on her.

It's as if she's completely forgotten the memories of that time!
In fact, Zhu Wen has never forgotten.

She simply sealed her memories away in a corner.

Those lives, all sharing the same name Zhu Wen, are her lives after she forgot her experiences in the Quick Transmigration Bureau.

Countless hardships, and... the children she abandoned. So, in a sense, Quinn's actions were helping her.

It helped her fulfill her wish and also helped her save her children.

“Interesting trip.”

Zhu Wen sighed with emotion.

Quinn said with exceptional sincerity:

"Actually, I can tell that you weren't in good shape before you left the Time and Space Bureau. Including all these years, you've been moving between various resorts, which is also to suppress that violent killing intent, right?"

Zhu Wen's expression changed slightly as he looked intently at Quinn.

Quinn waved his hand:

"You don't need to be hostile towards me. I genuinely want what's best for you. That's why I used 233 to take you back to those worlds of punishment filled with regrets, so you can heal those children, and in turn, those children can heal you. So far, it seems to be working quite well, doesn't it?"

Compared to before, Zhu Wen's soul aura was much cleaner and more peaceful.

This seems to prove that Quinn's choice was correct!

Zhu Wen was silent for a moment, then said:

"It seems I should thank you."

Quinn smiled magnanimously:
"No need for thanks. If you really want to repay me, go back to the Time and Space Bureau and help out! You have no idea, the Time and Space Bureau has been in complete chaos lately! Including the trouble caused by that Number 1! If you can help me capture him, that would be the best thing, hehehe..."

To Zhu Wen, Quinn's laughter sounded particularly malicious.

She stood up decisively:

"I'm leaving now, that's all. The mission world isn't over yet, is it?"

Quinn helped her look through the documents:
"Yes, there is one last world, an ancient plane."

Zhu Wen nodded:

"Okay, I'll rest for a bit and then leave right away."

Quinn chuckled:
"Have you gotten weaker? Before, during peak mission times, your adjustment time never exceeded 0.1 seconds!"

Zhu Wen shrugged and walked straight to the door.

Just as she was about to leave the director's office.

Her personal computer vibrated.

Zhu Wen clearly felt a gaze fall on his back.

She clicked her tongue and took out her personal terminal.

An unfamiliar message was displayed above—

Don't trust Chief Quinn!

"Hey."

Zhu Wen sighed softly.

She originally wanted to act a little longer.

But this message came at just the right time.

Zhu Wen could feel the gaze behind him growing stronger.

She put away her personal terminal and slowly turned around:
“I almost forgot to ask you… Quinn, if you wanted me to go to those worlds to be healed by my children, then why did you have 233 give me the task of ‘finding love’ in the first place?”

She tilted her head, as if she truly knew nothing about Quinn's purpose.

Quinn's entire body tensed, and the nebula-like vortex in the depths of his eyes gradually deepened in color:

"I thought it was the message from the 1st that reminded you, but it turns out you already knew."

Zhu Wen crossed his arms and leaned lazily against the doorframe:

"If I couldn't even discover this, do you think I would still be alive today?"

Quinn's expression was ambiguous; he only said one sentence:

"This is really a terrible thing."
