n

nAbout five seconds passed, Li Fei and Jian Hua cannot understand the meaning of this sentence at all.

nBook, what book?

nIf the world is a book, that is to say, we——

n“Bang.” Jian Hua finally reacted. The soup spoon fell into the bowl, and the soup splashed on his clothes. Jian Hua didn’t care. He stared at Major Zhang as if he’s looking at a madman.

nLi Fei’s ironic smile first expanded, then suddenly froze.

nThey are all thinking about the same problem: What does Zhang YaoJin mean by throwing out such a ridiculous excuse？Is it to thoroughly provoke them? If so, what’s the benefit of Red Dragon’s Major Zhang?

nJian Hua thought of that young man on a mountain bike carrying a bag filled with food, saying the word “plot”.

nLi Fei thought of the conversation he heard in the stairwell of the Pearl Hotel. The mob claimed that it was ” definitely the recorded day of the outbreak, so it means that we will awaken”. They can foresee that the Abandoned World is coming, and can predict what will happen that day. However, what do the words “definitely recorded” mean?

nWhat records? Is it the kind of prophecy book that is passed down from a millennium ago?

nThe things that confused Li Fei and the problems that he can’t understand that was put aside have now been brought to mind. The immense sense of absurdity almost swallowed him. Li Fei wants to protest, but he had a terrible feeling for the first time.

nThe atmosphere in the room became very depressing, the pressure in the air suffocating.

nZhang YaoJin frowns. The young man beside him pressed his hand on the gun on his waist. Major Zhang threw a look to make him stop.

nThe instrument on the table vibrates, the numbers on display are rising.

n“*cough*!” Major Zhang takes the initiative to break the deadlock. He stared at the dangerous atmosphere opposite him that would soon cause a tornado, and solemnly declare, “I know, this sounds very ridiculous……”

nFour eyes gazed at him, revealing burning anger: Ridiculous? It’s merely a joke!

nZhang YaoJin understands their mood very well.

nThe entire Red Dragon is looking at the chat group logs. They were dumbfounded for a long time, and until now, some people can’t accept the contents.

n“The National Secret Services can’t even find a good excuse?” Jian Hua has a sullen face.

n“Or, at least change the story?”

nZhang YaoJin has been wearing the military uniform for more than ten years. He passed through a hail of bullets many times and faced life and death situations which can’t be counted on two hands.

nKnowing how terrible the abilities of Jian Hua and Li Fei are, Major Zhang still held on. His expression as usual, “Our fate has been written on paper. If we know the ending, it’s not difficult to change it.”

nLi Fei restores his calm. Folding his hands into a tower, bowing his head, and bending his forefinger to keep his forehead pressed above， he was naturally in deep thought.

nJian Hua closed his eyes. After a long while, he said in a light voice, “Evidence?”

n“It belongs to the country’s top-secret files, I can’t carry it with me.”

n“But you don’t care at all about throwing out this confidential secret?” Li Fei made a broad smile. When he looked up, his eyes that looked at Zhang YaoJin through his fingers made the nervous young man’s scalp tingle for a second, instinctively stepping backward. When he came back to himself, the one sitting in the chair is still that elegant and gentle movie actor.

n——It was definitely not an illusion!

nZhang YaoJin had to use his eyes again to soothe his subordinate. The elegant Li Fei from across the table, how did he became Black Abyss’ BOSS? Even if it’s only on the upper surface and before his identity is exposed, Li Fei himself is an S-class ability holder, and he can quickly suppress many ability holders.

nTurning his head, Major Zhang continued to talk to the two big BOSSes.

n“I don’t want to reveal such a shocking secret.”

nZhang YaoJin stressed the last four words in the sentence. Li Fei slightly smiled while Jian Hua has no expression.

n“……But I won’t since you will know it sooner or later. These insiders are not smart enough. I think you may have met someone who spoke of some strange words to you or someone who tried hard to get close to you.”

nOn Li Fei’s side, someone who will do anything to get close to the actor can line up from the door to across the road and turn five bends.

nJian Hua is not any better.

nHe thought of the strange female student who appeared in Universal Studios. He also thought of Lu Zhao’s all sorts of behavior; many disturbing thoughts emerge which has previously been removed from his mind.

nNo, this is impossible! Why is there such a ridiculous thing?

n“You say that again!” Losing control, Jian Hua pressed his fingertips on the table, and white fine silk threads appeared.

nZhang YaoJin’s pupil contracted. With his hands on both sides of the wheelchair, he quickly retreated to the door, putting the young man behind him.

nJian Hua came to himself, “……”

nThe private room was quiet for half a minute. Jian Hua retracted his hand, and looked at Major Zhang with dangerous eyes, “You know my ability.”

nAn affirmative sentence.

nZhang YaoJin’s facial expression tangled. He is not afraid of death; it’s just that he’s been poisoned too much by the chat group logs.

n——Jian Hua, to maintain his secret, would kill all who saw his ability. He is deeply hidden because the people who know his secret is dead. His savage nature can be seen from this.

n“Yes, I know. Many people know.”

n“……”

nBraving Jian Hua’s pressuring eyes, Major Zhang calmly explained, “Factors that have an enormous impact on the world will be investigated. I said this the last time we talked; you will affect China in the future……no, the whole world.”

nIt’s the first time Li Fei heard this, and his smiling expression congealed.

nHe quickly recovered, rubbing his eyebrows with his fingers and said, “You said the last time. My self-satisfaction tells me that I’ve already accomplished it, I was working towards that goal way back then. But obviously, what you mean is not on the same level as I imagine.”

nLi Fei is a first-rate domestic actor who is about to go international.

nBut to what effect can he affect the whole world? Maybe Venice or Cannes, but not the entire world which would be a miracle!

n“Insiders……they know everything.” Zhang YaoJin spoke slowly and solemnly, “Red Dragon has already arrested some of them, but among the participants in the Pearl Hotel explosion, the leader has not been arrested yet. He is wandering outside and is an unsettling factor in our society.”

nHe glanced at the unmoved Jian Hua and Li Fei. Major Zhang had to throw a big message，” Abandoned World not only appears in China and insiders are not just Chinese. As long as it’s not a completely incompetent government, they will find their existence.”

nThis “they” is the book’s original people, not the ability holders.

n“You are very dangerous.” Zhang YaoJin is trying not to be an alarmist.

nJian Hua frowns. He deliberately ignored the unexplained meaning behind Major Zhang’s remark.

nReason tells him that these are an absurd joke, but intuition is telling him that this is the truth. Jian Hua feels a headache coming and needs a quiet environment to think carefully.

n“The last time you came, you only spoke about the monsters that will appear in the Abandoned World. You did not mention that squid, not to mention that it’s such a giant, brutal creature!” Jian Hua stared at Zhang YaoJin, thinking that if he already knew, why did he not mention it?

n“Because you know my ability and Jian Hua’s. You know that if we are in danger, you will also let us ‘see’ the truth and cruelty of this world?” Li Fei has a moderate tone, but his words are full of hostility.

nZhang YaoJin, of course, does not want to bear this accusation, “No, they should not appear so early! The lowest level hairball that attacks ability holders should appear next spring, the man-eating squid is a full six months ahead of schedule!”

nLi Fei’s expression is “You continue to fabricate”. In fact, he is far less assured than he was on the surface.

nIs it a lie? Li Fei is shaken.

nMajor Zhang tiredly continue to say, “With this morning’s heavy fog, the car I was in is on the highway, and almost hit the man-eating squid. A giant monster with tentacles……we are also lucky that time. After waking up at the hospital, I saw the photos of the Gingko Avenue.”

nAs for the reason why monsters appear in advance, the Red Dragon will need to do further analysis.

nThey now have a lot of intelligence reports, but their primary source is the chat group logs. The participants were a group of idealistic older children. In addition to imagining how to get an ability, killing monsters, and which side to choose, they also study how to change the plot and how it will affect the characters. Oh right, there are also girls who confessed to being in love with Li Fei.

nTo extract useful information from the inside, judge true and false, and conclude something from the analysis……is not easy.

n“Insiders affected the original event process, and changed the experience of some people.” Zhang YaoJin looked at Li Fei, according to the original story, the actor should be lying in the hospital because of the car accident.

nJian Hua picked up the soup spoon and found that the Brasenia fish soup has already cooled down.

nHe put down his cutlery in frustration, and asked in a bad mood, “Since Major Zhang encountered the rainforest squid on the highway on top of the Hua river, how did you end up in front of my house?”

nZhang YaoJin seems to want to correct Jian Hua’s name for that squid, but it doesn’t make sense to waste time and breath on such a trivial matter, so he can only ignore it.

n“First, we encountered hordes of hairball monsters. With a limited number of bullets, we can only avoid it by being in the car. The long-haired monkeys then eyed us. This monster has wisdom but also very vengeful. We turned around and went back to Huai City which is entirely a coincidence because only the road to Huai City has fewer monsters. Thinking about it, it should be because that squid had just passed, so the other monsters ran.

n“We were once again stuck on the highway since the vehicle was severely damaged, and we finally jumped into the river to get rid of those monkeys. After entering Huai City, we picked an office building as a temporary hiding place. It was probably a few hours later when a cat that was like a big hairball broke the glass. It was a tough fight, and everybody got injured. We originally did not carry any food or water, so I feared that on the next attack, we would have no physical strength. In desperation, I decided to go near your home——”

nJian Hua frowns. Does this mean that the fact that his home is a safe place is written in the book?

nLi Fei is in a bad mood. He suddenly felt that the secret that initially only he knows has been shared with the world.

n“Facts have proved that it is.” Zhang YaoJin spread his hand, eyes calm. “The entire neighborhood is quiet. No monster appears. We take turns to rest since we’re exhausted. I was confused when I heard screams, and I felt something drag me down from the stone bench. I want to open my eyes, but my body is weak. I knew nothing about what happened next, and only heard that I was found in front of Jian Hua’s house.”

n“What about Geng Tian?” Li Fei asked.

n“According to the report I got, Geng Tian, at seven o’clock this morning——I don’t like saying ‘today’. Well, that morning, when he got off the car and checked for the cause of the breakdown, he went missing in the fog. Our car was not on the highway at seven o’clock. The time we entered is different, and we did not meet in the Abandoned World, and probably would not have encountered each other. It’s just a coincidence that we met at the same place when we returned.”

nJian Hua has a foreboding feeling. Did the mushroom attack Zhang YaoJin and Geng Tian?

nHe went home from the supermarket and found two people dying at his door. Did the mushrooms growing in the Abandoned World packaged them to become his “delicious rations”?

nLi Fei looked at Zhang YaoJin for a long time, suddenly asking, “If the world is a book, who is Jian Hua?”

nZhang YaoJin thinks that this is not a secret and turned to face Jian Hua, “You are the villain in the last volume of a seven-volume book.”

n“……”

nJian Hua felt his face crack.

nIn his ear, he heard a different voice that sounds vaguely like a laugh. Li Fei tried to look displeased, pointing to the table, “If that’s so, who is the protagonist in our world?”

n“His name is Johnson Brown, an American.”

nThe author has something to say：

nSmall Theater——

nLi Fei：Who is Jian Hua？

nMajor Zhang：He is the villain of this book.

nLi Fei【smile】：Who is the protagonist？

nMajor Zhang：His name is Johnson Brown，an American。

nLi Fei：WTF!! This script is wrong，shouldn’t it be me？(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
