Enforcer's Handbook

"It doesn't matter, I have no evidence anyway."

Facing Song Lan's proactive confession, Lu Xiang patted his shoulder comfortingly.

What's more, under the theory of time regression, this event did not really happen today.

Compared with what Song Lan confessed, more and more details made Lu Xiang gradually guess the reason for the time regression, and based on all the details she had obtained so far, she filled in a complete character image.

A man who enjoys the highest levels of secrecy in the coalition government.

In addition, he has the power to temporarily dispatch six-star rescuers, and can even skip the plenary meeting of the council and decide to use weapons of mass destruction against District 17.

A man with such power was rare even in the Council, and it must have been one of the original architects of the coalition government.

A name that comes to mind...

Thinking of this, Lu Xiang was suddenly stunned.

She has already obtained enough information. Based on these clues, she should be able to accurately locate a certain big figure in the Council. However, the name that should have been about to come out suddenly seems to have escaped into the fog. No matter what she has already said, No matter how you sift through the known information, you can't find any character who matches the number.

You can't think of someone who doesn't exist.

But what is even more paradoxical is that when her mind is blank, her rationality keeps telling her that there must be such a big figure in the coalition government, or at least such a figure "used to" exist.

The blank space in his mind seemed to explain why the person who came to District 17 this time was Qi He.

Because it is impossible for a non-existent person to visit District 17 under the escort of Council staff.

"Where did you go after that?"

After thinking hard to no avail, Lu Xiang could only throw her doubts to Song Lan. At the same time, she realized that Song Lan's ability might not just allow time to go back to before the incident.

"Downtown."

More and more details emerged in his mind, which made Song Lan change his relaxed state. He realized what exactly happened on the last "today".

The moment I returned to the hover car, my premonition seemed to overlap with reality.

Through the transparent car door, he seemed to see a steady stream of mechanized troops entering District 17. Illusive air units kept passing by them. In a very short time, District 17 turned into a battlefield.

What faced this mechanized force was an overwhelming swarm of insects.

This is the first time that the Devourers have truly released all the units they have studied so far. A steady stream of "flying dragons" have been hatched. They are gathered together like black clouds, and they can be recaptured within a moment. Gained control of the air.

This mighty mechanized force failed to stop the endless swarm of insects, and they were quickly defeated and assimilated.

These phantoms that seem to come from the past are now filling every corner of District 17. This tragic war has not affected the vehicles and pedestrians on the street at this moment. They turn a blind eye to the phantoms and continue what each other is doing. , and even Lu Xiang, who was constantly changing the navigation route of the hover car beside him, seemed to know nothing about it.

Unconsciously, the hover car hovered in front of the tallest building in the downtown area.

Through the glass, Song Lan seemed to see an old man sitting in the building.

He calmly stared at the crumbling mechanical troops outside, without flinching even at the end of the road.

The "flying dragon" surged up.

When he was about to be overwhelmed by the swarm of insects, the old man stabbed himself in the heart with his right thumb.

The next moment, spiritual energy formed a spreading storm. The old man was at the center of the storm and witnessed the entire process of the storm sweeping away the city.

Then, whether it was an illusion or not, Song Lan felt that the old man was looking at him who was sitting in the hover car.

For a time, Song Lan's mind was filled with thousands of thoughts.

Could it be that on the last "today", when he faced the city destroyed by the psychic storm, he awakened a new ability and turned back time to this morning?

Time in both timelines has stopped here.

The psychic storm stopped spreading, but the cracks in the space still continued.

When those cracks connected together and separated the whole world, what appeared in front of Song Lan's eyes was darkness. The stars and the Milky Way illuminated this darkness. Everything he had seen before was covered by the broken The space was stripped away, and under this unique space, only he and the old man were left.

Then, he remembered the old man's name.

Longinus.

"This is the world after the future."

Song Lan heard her own voice.

He seemed to have experienced the process of the world being shattered and reorganized, and this process was not new to him, as he seemed to have experienced it many times before.

The strange things that happened today are connected with the scene at this moment.

No, he didn't suddenly awaken a new ability when the psychic storm came, but the use of the ability produced corresponding "side effects".

Because he heard the next conversation between himself and Longinus.

"This is my farewell gift to you, Longinus."

This time, Longinus didn't react.

His consciousness seemed to be frozen here in time.

"When different timelines are connected to each other, the established destiny will change... However, the consciousness that is about to dissipate is destined to be unable to be taken to a new world."

When the black hole swallowed everything, the entire world began the process of reorganization and repair.

First, there was the vast universe. Then, the torn and broken space was like a puzzle, returning to the same time node. The "flying dragons" all over the sky turned into phantoms. They retreated backwards at the same time, with the frequency of retreat becoming more and more frequent. So fast, even the sun drew a clear track in the sky at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Also turned into a phantom was Longinus.

He and the "flying dragons" all over the sky turned into nothingness in the process of retreating.

As the sun sets, darkness returns to the city.

This is the eve of dawn, and most of those who stay up late have fallen into a deep sleep.

At this time, in an apartment in District 17, Lu Xiang, who had not yet slept, unlocked the screen of her phone, and a tricky alarm clock advertisement appeared in front of her eyes.

…

"Hey, hey! Song Lan, are you okay?"

The strength on her shoulders brought Song Lan back to reality, and what caught her eyes was Lu Xiang's concerned eyes.

"I'm fine."

Song Lan shook his head.

At this moment, he understood the premonitions that kept popping up in his mind.

This is a "side effect" after the timeline change, because theoretically, he who has not experienced the "future" cannot accurately know what happened in the deleted timeline.

Before, he didn't have Lu Xiang by his side to help him find the remnants of every "premonition".

But to him in the past, this may not have mattered.

As long as he reaches the new timeline, his peaceful life can continue as before.

Eliminate the future that is not conducive to him, and fate will always be on his side.

This is the inevitable result.

At this moment, Song Lan's restless mood due to the strange "premonition" finally calmed down.

"Longinus."

He told Lu Xiang the results of his investigation, "This is the name of that big shot."

"Longinus?"

This answer made Lu Xiang suddenly frown. She looked at Song Lan blankly, "I have never heard of this name."

I squinted for a while and tried to code out another chapter when I woke up in the middle of the night!
