Sister, can I be the scabbard too?
Chapter 22 is chilling upon closer inspection: Bai Wuchang has never appeared simultaneously with a
"Hehe, don't be afraid, Ling'er, I was just joking."
The White Impermanence remained unmoved, revealing an extremely benevolent smile:
"I am Lin Yuan's older sister."
I don't sense at all that you're joking!
And what makes you think Lin Yuan is yours now? You sadistic pervert, believe me or not, I'll electrocute you!
Tang Ling'er thought to herself, her eyes trembling slightly.
Wait, White Impermanence...
Tang Ling'er had investigated Lin Yuan's social connections, so she naturally knew about the relationship between Bai Wuchang and Lin Yuan.
They also knew about the relationship between Bai Wuchang's father and Lin Yuan.
Strangely, in that apocalyptic future, she never received any news from Bai Kelu or Bai Wuchang.
It was as if they had simply vanished from Lin Yuan's life.
What's going on?
Wait, could it be that...
Lin Yuan actually had no interest in Bai Wuchang at all!
Tang Ling'er instantly felt like she was back to normal!
"Alright, let's catch up later, Ling'er, let's go to the meeting room first."
Tang Annian patted Tang Ling'er on the shoulder, and then, together with Bai Kelu, who also got out of the car, they were the first to enter the underground facility.
Shortly afterward, everyone entered a sealed room within the facility.
The room's walls were white, the ceiling was white, and the lights were white, making it resemble both a research facility and an interrogation cell.
The strangest thing is that the ceiling and walls of the room are covered with mirrors.
The strange facilities made Tang Ling'er feel uncomfortable and oppressed as soon as she entered the room.
"Please sit down, Miss Tang. And Old Tang, Old Lu, and Wuchang, please sit down as well."
The man in military uniform who had previously contacted Tang Ling'er was already waiting in the house and greeted her.
"I've told you so many times, don't call me Old Lu." White Keluo said, sitting down casually.
The others also appeared very casual.
Upon seeing this, Tang Ling'er's tense body finally relaxed.
"Don't be nervous, Miss Tang. I am the director of the Suzhou office of the Extraordinary Descent Group of the Great Xia Federation. My surname is Liu. You can call me Director Liu."
The man in military uniform smiled and introduced himself.
"Director Liu..." Tang Ling'er's throat moved.
She had a pretty good idea of why the other party had called her here.
But she didn't understand how the military knew about "extraordinary".
All superhumans should be limited by a ruptured heart and unable to speak.
"Miss Tang, I know what you're thinking. I can assure you that what you're going through now, Miss Bai has also gone through before."
Director Liu smiled and glanced at Bai Wuchang, then looked back at Tang Ling'er:
"From now on, you don't need to answer my questions or speak. You just need to nod or shake your head to indicate whether you are right or wrong."
"Of course, if you feel uncomfortable, stop immediately and press the stop button on your left."
Tang Ling'er's eyes flickered, then she gave a bitter smile.
I really underestimated the federal military and government.
Using the right-or-wrong method to eliminate possibilities, you can still obtain information, right?
"Let's begin," Director Liu said. "The first question is: Have you encountered anything you haven't experienced in your normal life?"
Tang Ling'er checked her heart and felt no discomfort, then nodded.
"Hmm, I know you've watched the American TV series 'Heroes.' Are the difficulties you've encountered similar to those in the show?"
"Is this a question I can answer found through big data...?" Tang Ling'er nodded again.
"Are you unable to answer our questions for some reason?"
Just as Tang Ling'er was about to make a move, she felt discomfort in her heart and immediately pressed the stop button.
Director Liu nodded, exchanged a glance with Tang Annian, and then lowered his head to write on the document:
"Tang Ling'er is suspected of awakening a transcendent being."
Sometimes, not being able to answer is itself a form of answer.
Tang Annian let out a long breath and pinched his brow: "I didn't expect that you, Ling'er, would also..."
"Dad, did you already know?" Tang Ling'er stared at Tang Annian and asked the question she had always wanted to ask.
In her previous life, she never knew that her father was related to anything called "extraordinary".
She desperately wanted to know whether her rebirth had brought about a butterfly effect.
Or perhaps, her father from her previous life had been keeping it from her all along.
"Well, I guess I already knew." Tang Annian pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Let me explain the specifics." Bai Kelu tapped the table:
"After all, I only just learned the whole story, and what I say can help me connect the dots."
"The story begins two months ago, when an earthquake struck the federal government."
"After the earthquake, the military discovered an ancient site in the southern coastal area."
"There is a rift connecting to another dimension within the ancient ruins."
That is the rift that invaded our world, the doomsday game world... Tang Ling'er wanted to say these words, but her heart was gripped tightly.
"Since then, many more cracks have appeared one after another," White Krug continued to explain:
"After that, 'superhumans' and 'monsters' that humans could not understand gradually descended upon the human world."
"All superhumans share one thing in common: they cannot reveal any information about their superhuman abilities, otherwise their hearts will be crushed by an invisible force."
All correct... Tang Ling'er was even more shocked.
She had no idea that the federal government possessed so much intelligence.
But if they had so much intelligence, why didn't they prepare contingency plans?
Why is the entire Federation on the verge of destruction when the apocalypse arrives?
Wait… A thought flashed through Tang Ling’er’s mind.
She suddenly realized that something was wrong.
They were missing a crucial piece of intelligence—
end.
In her previous life, Tang Ling'er only learned that the game had undergone a closed beta test after the apocalypse game and reality overlapped.
Before the apocalypse, a very small number of people awakened supernatural abilities.
Even among superpowers, there are differences.
Only those with unique superpowers will be told by their powers that "the end of the world is coming."
The rest of the people will only know that they have superpowers.
However, very few people possess unique special abilities.
In a game of probability that is infinitely close to zero, even the federal government may not be able to come into contact with one of them.
If we reason from this perspective...
Clearly, in the eyes of the federal government, superhumans are just new forces that keep emerging one after another.
Moreover, before the apocalypse, neither these beta testers nor the monsters caused any truly terrible impact on human society.
For them, both superhumans and "monsters" have always been under their control.
They never imagined that the world would end because of this.
They also won't know the exact time when the end of the world will come.
They would never know that firearms are completely ineffective against monsters in apocalyptic games.
The lack of this information directly led to humanity's helplessness when the apocalypse arrived.
At that moment, Tang Ling'er felt a chill run down her spine.
She suddenly realized that she had been reborn.
Perhaps there are things more important than clinging to Lin Yuan's coattails.
"Miss Tang Ling'er."
Just then, Director Liu took out his tablet, looked through Tang Ling'er's spending records, and asked:
"I want to ask you a question: what are your thoughts on the 'end of the world'?"
