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

Si Tong looked at Wu Ya calmly, as if he were looking at an unreasonable child.

He said calmly, "Wu Ya, do you know that among so many S-level superhumans in the provincial bureau, why is Zhou Hao the only one who advanced so quickly?"

Wu Ya was stunned.

She shook her head subconsciously.

In her view, the reason why Zhou Hao was valued was simply because he had entered the S-level at a young age, possessed extraordinary talent, and was a genius that was rare in a century.

Therefore, he was able to be promoted to the position of town inspector in his early twenties, with a promising future ahead of him.

But now, judging from what the commander is saying...

There seems to be more to the story?

The commander's lips curled up slightly, his smile carrying a somewhat ambiguous meaning.

He stopped being mysterious and simply stated the reason in a plain, factual tone.

"because……"

"His surname is Zhou!"

These few simple words exploded in Wu Ya's mind like a thunderclap.

Surname Zhou?

The surname Zhou holds extraordinary significance in the entire Nanjiang Province, and even in the entire Extraordinary World.

because……

Six hundred years ago, the first sacrificer in human history, who single-handedly sacrificed everything of his own to successfully seal away the world-destroying calamity, the "Lord of Nothingness"...

She also has the surname Zhou.

And now, the ancient family that has guarded the seal of the [Lord of Nothingness] for generations also has the surname Zhou!

Wu Ya's face turned pale instantly.

She never imagined that Zhou Hao had such a powerful background.

No wonder he dared to be so reckless.

No wonder he's reached this position at such a young age.

It turns out he wasn't a genius at all.

He was just... a descendant born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

After a brief moment of shock, Wu Ya's brows furrowed even more.

She raised her head, looked directly into the commander's eyes, and spoke with unyielding spirit.

"Commander, even if Zhou Hao is a descendant of that sacrificer, so what?"

"Does this justify his disregard for human life and betrayal of his comrades? Does this erase the crimes he committed?"

"The reason Senior Zhou chose to sacrifice his life to seal the [Lord of Nothingness] was for the continuation of all humanity!"

"She is a true hero!"

"I believe that if she were alive today, and knew that such a despicable scoundrel as Zhou Hao had been born into her family, she would be turning in her grave!"

Wu Ya was somewhat agitated.

In her heart, the sacrificer surnamed Zhou was a monument revered by all extraordinary beings, sacred and inviolable.

Zhou Hao's actions undoubtedly tarnished the reputation of this hero.

"Furthermore, as the Zhou family, who have guarded the seal for six hundred years, I don't believe their family traditions would allow such a thing to happen! I don't believe they would protect someone like Zhou Hao!"

Wu Ya's words were resounding and powerful.

"Oh……"

In return, he only received a cold laugh from the commander.

"Innocent!"

These two words were like two buckets of ice water poured over Wu Ya's head, calming her down.

Looking at Si Tong's expressionless face, she suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Commander, I request that this matter be immediately reported to the Zhou family headquarters!"

"I want them to know what kind of person Zhou Hao really is! I believe the Zhou family will give us, the fallen team members, and the innocent civilians a satisfactory explanation!"

Wu Ya's voice was incredibly firm.

However, the commander shook his head.

"It's not necessary."

"Why?!" Wu Ya asked, puzzled.

A somewhat eerie smile appeared on the commander's face.

He spoke slowly, emphasizing each word.

"Because..."

"My surname is also Zhou!"

boom!

Wu Ya's mind completely exploded.

She stared blankly at the middle-aged man in front of her, the highest-ranking official of the Extraordinary Bureau of Nanjiang Province, whom she had always respected and even regarded as an idol.

he……

Is he also a member of the Zhou family?

How is this possible?!

If he is also a member of the Zhou family, then... then what did he mean by what he just said?

Just as Wu Ya's mind went blank and was in complete chaos.

Si Tong slowly extended his right hand.

On his wrist hung an unremarkable gray stone pendant strung on a black cord.

He gently rubbed the stone between his thumb and forefinger.

next second.

A thick, almost tangible black mist spread out from the pendant.

In the blink of an eye, it enveloped the entire office.

Within that black mist, Wu Ya sensed a strange aura that made her soul tremble.

Her pupils suddenly contracted.

That is……
