I'm only three years old, how could it be a world-ending catastrophe?

Thinking of this, Li Zheng's face turned extremely ugly.

If this speculation is true...

Then this child is the greatest hidden danger in the world!

He needs to find a way to nip it in the bud!

but……

All of this is just speculation.

He simply couldn't bring himself to do something like "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free."

Especially since this is a three-year-old child...

Zhao Haidong didn't notice Li Zheng's unusual behavior. He took a file folder from the drawer and handed it to him.

"This new sacrificial ability user was originally a college student in the neighboring Dongjiang City, but she is actually from our Dongzhou City."

"After our colleagues from the Dongjiang City Extraordinary Bureau visited her and explained the situation, she chose to suspend her studies and return to the city where she grew up."

"This is information sent by the Dongjiang City Extraordinary Bureau. Take a look."

Li Zhengqiang suppressed his irritation and reached out to take the file folder.

The file folder was thin, with the words "Top Secret" printed on it in red.

He opened the file folder and took out the documents inside.

The first page contains a girl's ID photo.

The girl in the photo has delicate features, wears a simple ponytail, and has a slightly shy smile on her face.

……

[Basic Information]

Name: Lu Yao

Gender: Female

Age: 20 years old

Identity: Current student at Dongjiang University, SSS-level superhuman registered with the Extraordinary Abilities Bureau

Background: Orphaned at a young age, she was raised by her older brother. Four years ago, after her brother's accidental death, she was adopted by his close friend, Jiang Hongming, and later gained admission to Dongjiang University based on her excellent academic performance.

[Ability Awakening Record]

Awakening time: three days ago

Awakening Location: Dongjiang University Girls' Dormitory

Triggering event: Due to extreme longing for her deceased brother, her emotions fluctuated violently, and she unconsciously sacrificed the last birthday gift her brother had given her—a necklace she wore close to her body.

My personal obsession: I only wish to see my deceased brother one more time.

Awakening Result: The Sacrifice ability took effect, successfully summoning a projection of the brother's soul. The siblings conversed briefly for ten minutes before the projection dissipated. This abnormal energy was detected by the Bureau of Extraordinary Abilities, confirming its ability as [Sacrifice].

……

At this moment, Zhao Haidong continued to speak.

"This child named Lu Yao has a very simple request."

"If one day disaster really strikes, she is willing to give her life in exchange for world peace."

"But she has one condition."

"As long as the world is not destroyed by the calamity, our Extraordinary Bureau must protect Jiang Hongming and his family of three who adopted her, and ensure their safety for the rest of their lives."

Zhao Haidong's gaze became sharp and resolute.

"This also contains detailed information about Jiang Hongming's family."

"Protecting them is the highest-level task I'm about to assign you."

"Li Zheng, you must remember this."

"If one day, a catastrophe of annihilation really comes, then Lu Yao is the only hope to solve this catastrophe. She is our hero."

"No matter what, we must not let our heroes feel disheartened and shed tears!"

Li Zheng nodded. There was no need for the bureau chief to say anything; he would never do something so ungrateful.

However, when he turned to the next page and saw the information about Jiang Hongming and his family of three, he was completely stunned.

Jiang Hongming, Zhang Hui...

But the most crucial one is their son!

Jiangluo.

Male, three years old.

She is currently in Class 2 of Xingchen Kindergarten.

Next to the document, a one-inch photo was also attached.

In the photo, a boy wearing yellow duck overalls is facing the camera, pouting impatiently.

Li Zheng will never forget that face in his life.

This child gave him an unprecedented shock today!

Li Zheng never expected that it would be such a coincidence!

This newly awakened sacrificial ability user turns out to be a relative living under the same roof as the suspected world-ending calamity he believes to be involved with.

Even though the two are not related by blood, the person that Lu Yao would risk her life to protect is no different from her closest relative!

Li Zheng's heart sank.

He sensed that things were getting tricky.

Zhao Haidong finally noticed the odd expression on his face and asked, "What's wrong?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Zheng recounted everything that had happened at the kindergarten that day in detail.

From the initial plan to lure the snake out of its hole failing, to Jiang Luo being overlooked during the evacuation operation.

From the blind spot appearing in Wang Chao's "Sky Eye" to the mysterious disappearance after the purification process was started.

Finally, he witnessed Jiang Luo shatter the communication bubble he had enhanced with spatial laws with a single breath.

After hearing what had happened, Zhao Haidong was stunned.

"I came here today specifically for this child."

Li Zheng's voice was incredibly heavy: "A person who can shatter a space bubble with a single breath, a person whose blind spot is detected by Wang Chao's Heavenly Eye, a person who can walk out unscathed from the center of an S-class calamity..."

"He's definitely not an ordinary person!"

"I must find out exactly what he is!"

"I originally intended to request additional authority and resources from the bureau from you, but now... things have become complicated..."

After Li Zheng finished speaking, Zhao Haidong's expression instantly became extremely solemn.

If this matter has nothing to do with Lu Yao, then everything will be easy to handle.

With the abilities of the Extraordinary Bureau, there are countless ways to uncover the secrets of a three-year-old child.

Even if the methods are a bit brutal, as long as we can confirm that he is a threat, we should eliminate him directly to prevent future troubles.

A potential catastrophe, no amount of caution is excessive.

But now...

Lu Yao's presence has turned this matter into a deadlock.

A deadlock that can never be untied.

Calamities must be eliminated.

This is an ironclad rule ingrained in the very bones of every member of the Extraordinary Bureau.

They understood the horror of calamity better than anyone else.

Even before it became a calamity, its nature was kind; it didn't even want to destroy or kill.

But the calamity-related power within Him will compel Him to do it.

It was a desire stemming from the instinct of life, an impulse that could not be suppressed by reason.

Just like people need to eat when they are hungry and drink when they are thirsty.

The power of calamity needs to grow stronger through devouring, destruction, and slaughter to maintain its existence.

This is an immutable rule.

Therefore, once it is confirmed that Jiang Luo is a calamity, even if it is only a possibility, they must take action.

After all, this is a potential catastrophe of annihilation, and its threat is even greater!

This threat must be nipped in the bud.

But what would be the consequences of doing that?

What should Lu Yao do?

She had lost her only relative and finally found new solace in Jiang Hongming's family.

If they harm Jiang Luo, it would be tantamount to destroying Lu Yao's mental world with their own hands.

And what about the consequences...?

Zhao Haidong didn't even dare to think about it.

Even if we take a step back and say that Lu Yao chose to accept everything afterwards...

But what if this Jiang Luo isn't actually that potential world-ending calamity?

When a true cataclysmic disaster were to descend, given the circumstances, Lu Yao would definitely choose to stand by and watch.

That would mean the end, the extinction of all humanity!

A potential catastrophe of annihilation.

A sacrificer.

One is a death warrant from the King of Hell, the other is a life-saving Guanyin talisman.

Unfortunately, these two cards are inextricably linked by fate.

If you move one, the other one is ruined.

If we don't move, we can only watch helplessly as that death warrant drags everyone into hell.

A hush fell over the office.

After a long while, Zhao Haidong spoke again, his voice hoarse.

"Don't make this public yet."

"All the intelligence we have right now is just speculation."

"We cannot gamble the fate of the entire world based on mere speculation."

Zhao Haidong stood up and paced back and forth in his office, his mind racing.

"What we need to do now is confirm."
