Chapter: Chapter 384
“Oh, so you subdued him this way. As expected of you, my good sister.”
Outside the surrounded shopping mall, Leticia met Yin, who rushed over after receiving her message. After hearing about Leticia’s actions, Miss Yin remarked that what Leticia did had a rather villainous style.
“Did you really intend to kill him back then?”
“Of course. Who told him to see what he shouldn’t have seen?” Leticia spread her hands. Bai Ling’s gentle tap on her forehead had truly caught her off guard, and her expression at that moment must have been quite something.
And at that time, that man was standing right there, having surely witnessed the entire process. For all intents and purposes, Leticia couldn’t let this guy remain in this world!
The shyness of an ordinary girl would be to cover her face and not dare to look at anyone. Leticia’s shyness was to eliminate everyone who saw her. As long as no one saw, there would be no need for shyness!
“There’s no need for me to get involved in what happened after. Although I vouched with my reputation to spare their lives, honestly, reputation isn’t of much use to me.” Leticia shrugged. Even if those guys weren’t officially sentenced to death, they wouldn’t be able to get out of prison.
There was a high probability that they would unfortunately leave this world within six months of entering prison for various reasons, such as the classic suicide by seven bullet wounds in the back.
That man chickened out at the last moment. If he surrendered, a high-ranking employee like him might even be spared. But if he chose to fight to the death, then he would truly die without value.
Yes, he could take some hostages, but what was the point of that?
The girl opposite him was not afraid of any of his countermeasures; this demon completely disregarded the hostages!
His threats were utterly useless to her.
Sometimes, it really is more effective for bad guys to deal with bad guys. Bad guys dare to point guns at good people, but they really don’t dare to point guns at other bad guys.
Everyone is equally bad; who are you trying to threaten?
“What’s the saying, you know, killing a captured enemy is bad luck?” Yin said, rubbing her chin and smiling.
“I’m just a person who catches people. At most, I give my opinions on how to deal with them. The decision-makers are people themselves. If they want to kill, then I can’t help it.” Miss Demon Lord stated that it had nothing to do with her, a simple employee hero. She just wanted to live her life honestly!
“Never mind, let’s not talk about this. The Divine Seat’s operation is about to begin. Do you have any leads?”
“I think the word you’re looking for is ‘clues.’ Cough, I just went to the central district. It’s already under martial law. Even though a large number of forces are tied up in the other four districts, the regular troops stationed in the central district alone are not something that a few elites can break through.” Yin’s excellent mobility was fully displayed at this moment. It had only been less than half an hour since she received Leticia’s message, and she had already gone from her Western District base to the central district and then rushed here.
This journey directly spanned the entire central city. If it were Leticia, she would have had to fly in the sky for a good half hour.
Not to mention the time spent observing the situation. Yin had likely spent most of this half hour on these matters.
Rushing? For this deity whose spatial teleportation was as natural as eating and drinking, it probably took no time at all.
“Then what do you think…” Leticia had only spoken halfway when her phone suddenly started vibrating.
A call at this time? Could it be Bai Ling?
Had the Divine Seat’s attack begun?
She took out her phone and checked the caller ID, and Leticia was surprised to find that the caller was the Captain.
“Huh?” Leticia was confused. It was normal for Bai Ling to call her at this time, but for the Captain to call her, it was very suspicious.
Shouldn’t this lady who could peek at the script be hiding in the safest place and diligently peeking at future scenes? How could she find time to call her?
“Hello? Captain, what do you need me for? I’m a bit busy here.” Leticia answered the phone and greeted the Captain in a lazy voice.
“…Qianqian, where are you right now?” To Leticia’s surprise, the Captain’s voice was unusually serious. “I saw a future, a future I don’t want to believe.”
“I’m in the Eastern District now, I just finished dealing with the disturbance here.” Hearing the Captain’s serious tone, the laziness in Leticia’s voice completely vanished. “Did something happen with Bai Ling? Has the person behind the scenes made a move?”
“No, you definitely won’t guess what I saw.” The Captain took a deep breath. “Don’t be scared when I tell you. I don’t believe this scene either.”
“Go ahead, go ahead. My psychological resilience is excellent. Just say it, and if my expression changes, I lose.” Leticia had always held a pragmatic attitude towards prophecies.
That is, if it says something good about her, it’s correct; if it says something bad about her, it’s feudal superstition, showing a clear double standard.
It was precisely because of this mindset that Leticia didn’t really believe that the Captain’s prophecy would shock her. She had received professional training and wouldn’t laugh no matter how funny something was, unless she couldn’t help it.
“Then I’ll say it.”
“Go ahead, go ahead.”
“In the future I saw, the person who blew up the government building was you, Qianqian.”
!
What?!
Yin, standing beside Leticia, saw Leticia’s face change multiple times in the span of a second, from white to black, black to green, green to yellow, and finally back to white, like a neon light.
It was terrifying how fast a person’s complexion could change.
“Impossible! Absolutely impossible! I have no deep hatred for this thing, why would I blow it up!” Leticia’s first reaction was disbelief. She and Yin wanted to take advantage of the chaos, but that was only limited to taking advantage of it.
Blowing up the government building couldn’t even be called “taking advantage of the chaos”; it was directly blowing up the fish pond!
How could she do such a thing!
“I also want to believe you, Qianqian, but I’ve watched it back and forth several times, and all the signs indicate that the person who collapsed the government building was you, Qianqian. Oh, and you have a helper with a tail, and that helper seems to be a catgirl.”
“Hiss…” Leticia gasped and looked at Yin beside her. “It’s over. Why do I feel like this future is so credible?”
Yin’s existence was a secret. The Captain shouldn’t have known about it.
Even if the Captain had heard some news from some rats in the Western District, such as a highly efficient assassin appearing recently, who seemed to be a beastman, there was no way she could be connected to Leticia, a heroic hero of the Hero Association who was openly and legitimately in the spotlight.
Leticia and Yin’s interactions were all carried out in secret. Except for the time Bai Ling witnessed them before, the subsequent times Leticia and Yin met, they used disguised forms. And just now, she had planned to disguise herself and then go to the central district to join the fun.
She would choose the appearance of white hair and golden eyes, as it was unlikely anyone could recognize her.
“Captain, can you tell me all that you saw? I think this is a clue that cannot be missed.” Leticia calmed herself and asked the Captain for more information.
“Okay, but after I tell you, I still have to report this information. And the higher-ups of the association will probably try to control your actions.” The Captain believed that Leticia would not do such a thing. The reason was simple: Bai Ling, with her golden reputation, was vouching for Leticia.
How could the Sword Saint’s lover do such a thing? Even if it were indeed Leticia who did it, there must be some unspoken hardship!
If Leticia and Bai Ling’s relationship were not so close, the Captain would probably have doubted her Demon race friend.
After all, the resentment between the Demon race and humans was deep, and it wasn’t uncommon for such an extremist to appear.
“Don’t worry, report it. I’ll slip away before the association reacts.” Leticia chuckled. “I don’t think the future can be changed by such simple methods. Something has to be done.”
For them to expect her to surrender meekly, impossible!
“Whatever you want, anyway, I believe you didn’t do it on purpose. *Phew*, listen carefully, I’ll only say it once.” The Captain took a breath and recounted the future scene she saw verbatim.
Actually, this scene wasn’t long, only about two to three seconds in total. The Captain didn’t see much, only a dazzling burst of flames and a gradually collapsing government building. And above the building, a black-haired girl bathed in colorful light floated.
Without a doubt, it was Leticia.
In front of the girl floated a lotus seemingly cast from crystal. The Captain wanted to see more clearly, but the girl seemed to sense something and glanced at the Captain with indifferent eyes.
Then, the Captain was forcefully ejected from the future.
After hanging up the call from the Captain, Leticia looked at the knowledgeable Miss Yin. It was time for their true goddess to play her part.
You have lived for so long, you must know many things! You must know what that crystal lotus is, right!
Yin’s mouth twitched slightly. Although she didn’t want to admit it, she had indeed never seen this thing. Not only had she never seen it, but she hadn’t even seen any information related to it.
In other words, this thing was definitely not a specialty from the God Era, at least not a well-known one.
During the God Era, the world was divided into countless independent planes. Gods lived in those planes, and outside the territory belonging to gods, there were a large number of unclaimed planes waiting for gods to discover.
Resources were truly abundant back then, so Yin couldn’t guarantee that the crystal lotus had nothing to do with gods. Perhaps this thing was a creation of a god she didn’t know from countless planes away from her?
No one could guarantee it.
“I don’t have any useful clues here. I’m afraid I’ll only be able to make a judgment after seeing the scene in person. Also, I have a guess: is it possible that the lotus was created by humans as a divine kingdom?” Yin squatted on the ground and started digging. She drew a building, and then drew a lotus high on the building. “Look, with something like this appearing here, it’s almost all suspicious, isn’t it?”
Firstly, this wouldn’t be Leticia’s or Yin’s. They couldn’t say they knew each other inside and out, but regarding something like this at this time, they wouldn’t lie or hide it from each other.
Therefore, this lotus had nothing to do with them.
And now the situation was a confrontation. They, as a third party, were expecting to wait for the mantis to catch the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
Since this lotus wasn’t theirs, it must belong to either the Divine Seat or the Central City.
According to the Captain, the lotus was beautiful, it glowed by itself, and it was even large. How could something like this be brought in by the Divine Seat people?
If you say that the Divine Seat directly broke through the defenses of the Central City and brought the lotus into the government building, then Leticia would have nothing to say. If the Divine Seat was that amazing, why did it take so long to deal with Yin!
Yin was facing an all-star lineup back then. Basically, all the divine artifacts that the Divine Seat could bring out were brought out, and even so, she was held up by Yin for several days.
Now, the Divine Seat had sent at most an elite team to cause trouble, and they would carry at most one divine artifact. With such firepower, wanting to break through the defenses set up by the Central City at the government building would be a pipe dream!
Expecting the government building to explode on its own was more realistic than this idea!
Direct attack was obviously impossible, so the only feasible option was infiltration. Leticia didn’t know what method the Divine Seat people would choose to infiltrate, but she was sure that no one would think of carrying something that looked like a large light bulb when infiltrating.
With the two suspects ruled out, the culprit was obvious, wasn’t it?
That thing was definitely made by humans themselves!
“I agree with your opinion, but we still need to go to the scene to see the specifics. I suspect the Divine Seat people have already infiltrated, so we need to hurry.” Leticia turned off her phone and then took out another phone from her pocket. “Let’s go, take me back home first. I need to change my clothes.”
She couldn’t just go to the scene with this face. The Captain should have reported her findings by now, and she had lost contact. She would probably be directly considered the perpetrator of the attack.
Those Divine Seat guys would instead get an opportunity to act. But Leticia could only choose to do so now. She couldn’t just stand there and wait for the Hero Association’s investigation, could she?
Although she was confident that she wouldn’t be investigated for anything, under such circumstances, she wouldn’t be able to secretly cause trouble in this matter. That wouldn’t do.
