238: Chapter 219: Intercept 238: Chapter 219: Intercept From “Lu Ping’an’s” perspective, the appearance of “Liu Yiyi” at the beginning was a pleasant surprise. After all, amidst chaos and confusion, running into an old acquaintance was comforting, no matter how you looked at it. “Strange, how did I end up so far from the hospital? Why has the day gotten brighter all of a sudden…” Even if “Lu Ping’an” knew that supernatural forces existed in this world, he, nonetheless, felt discomfort, especially observing the unusual circumstances on the streets. People bustling around, constant shouts in the distance, roads jam-packed with cars, and faint cries reached him. Based on his experience watching disaster movies, what he was seeing was clearly abnormal. Under these circumstances, the presence of Doctor Liu was like a lifesaver, providing him with much guidance… particularly when she promised to lead him to the so-called “Secret Realm”, providing an opportunity to gain supernatural powers. “…Oh, you’ve started chemotherapy already?” But as they continued talking, Lu Ping’an started to sense that something was off. The other party seemed younger than the Doctor Liu he remembered, and a bit shorter. Most importantly, while the voice was spot on, the tone and accent was undeniably rigid. To be blunt… “Are you some magic monster impersonating her with poor acting skills?” Lu Ping’an asked, recalling urban legends he’d recently heard, and full of speculation. So, he casually started discussing his treatment plan, as well as the medication regimen his physician had recently prescribed, asking the opinion of the doctor who had previously treated him… then intentionally misnamed several drugs. When she repeatedly nodded along as he spoke, Lu Ping’an confirmed that he was in trouble. He didn’t try to expose her. After all, he was just a common man. Even normal people could take him on easily, let alone magic monsters or Abnormal Ability Users. He tried to flee… but he knew that with his current physical condition, even running was out of the question. He tried to find a police officer, but strangely, he didn’t encounter one on the way… instead, she kept leading him further astray. All he could do was act like a “patient”, slowing his pace, wheezing more and more, doing his best to stall time. “Once we turn this corner, we’ll be at the ‘Secret Realm’ you’ve been dreaming of. Let’s go.” At last, they arrived in a secluded alley. Procrastination wasn’t going to help anymore; he was cornered. Lu Ping’an took a deep breath, ready to fight for his life… “Lu Ping’an!” Suddenly, a strange shout rang out. Lu Ping’an whirled around, spotting an unfamiliar figure. “…Don’t move.” The instant the figure appeared, “Liu Yiyi” moved so quickly that Lu Ping’an couldn’t follow her actions. Her knife-like nails were pressed against Lu Ping’an’s neck, and within a split second, Lu Ping’an was held hostage, serving as a threat to the newcomer. At this moment, “Lu Ping’an” managed to take interest in observing the person who had just called out his name. A beauty that fits my taste? If only this woman wasn’t so fierce. A Special Service Team uniform… but only trousers and a cap? Something’s off, isn’t it? In that moment, ignoring the blade against his neck, Lu Ping’an turned his head to look at the face of his captor… a twisted and pleasurable grin that was obviously abnormal. Who’s the good guy? Who’s the bad one? To the current Lu Ping’an, did it matter? Just as Lu Ping’an prepared to sit back and enjoy the show, suddenly, the woman’s eyes turned into slits! “Scram!” A surge of anger blasted towards him like a storm, forcing Lu Ping’an backwards, but… “Rumble!” The person behind him, the monster posing as Liu Yiyi, was catapulted onto the wall, becoming a new piece of graffiti. “Wow, so mystical. Was that remote force?” At this moment, Lu Ping’an could still enjoy the show as he was simply transferred from one monster to another. But then his expression changed drastically. Xia Qin opened her mouth, and out came a string of numbers. “2033911, this is a message from ‘Future Lu Ping’an’ to you. He wants you to trust me.” Lu Ping’an fell silent. Regardless of anything, the appearance of this string of numbers had completely defied his expectations. It was not a password, but a point in time—the death time of “Lu Ping’an”. Saying this number meant exposing the secret of being a “time-traveller”…theoretically only he himself should know. Looking at Lu Ping’an who was still lost in thought, Xia Qin took a deep breath, seeing his hesitation. Helpless, she could only do as she was instructed by the other Lu Ping’an. “Follow me, do as I say, and I’ll give you ten thousand yuan.” “…heh, so telepaths have resorted to bribery now…uh, you’re really sincere, I guess. From today on, I am yours.” Lu Ping’an accepted the stack of cash, nodded in satisfaction, and began looking for a wallet. Since he didn’t have one on his hospital gown, he turned towards the “graffiti” on the wall to look for one. At this moment, the “graffiti wall painting” began to disintegrate, revealing a large head on a small body. The face under the mask was not the real Liu Yiyi, but someone who looked similar. Even so, he was on guard, ready with various lies and excuses at his disposal. “…oh, have I already reached the future? Indeed, my phone shows that almost two months have passed, but how have I managed to live so long…” “Huh? We’re living together? You do indeed fit my preferences in many ways, but your age…ah, isn’t this a bit like…Oi, a police officer hitting people!” “Don’t fight, really don’t. My body is frail, a single blow could potentially kill me, and your money will have been wasted…could you tell me more about ‘my future self’s’ plans?” ———– ———– “Snap!” When the person disguised as “Liu Yiyi” keels over and dies, the Sophist’s body once again develops a crisscrossing pattern of cuts, albeit milder this time. Seeing the sudden appearance of “bloodstains”, he ruffles his hair in frustration. He has tried to evaluate Lu Ping’an as highly as possible, yet not long ago he received news that Fang Wen (and Lu Ping’an) had attacked Long Yuhe and engaged briefly in combat with Long Qianlan. Just as they lost track of them there, trouble arose here. Instead, it was Captain Xia who had dropped everything to intervene personally. “Does she trust him and he trusts her too?…this foolish woman, she’s been conned once and yet she remains so naive.” The Sophist bites his fingers, for the first time, displaying signs of anxiety. The “trust” between Lu Ping’an and Xia Qin definitely exceeded his expectations; she would only have been able to locate “Lu Ping’an” this quickly by utilizing the official local search resources. That means she had abandoned her ongoing mission and post, prioritizing Lu Ping’an’s directives…if she doesn’t have a good enough excuse afterwards, she would face basic punishment at minimum. This was indeed beyond expectation… from the perspective of “Old Ke”, the relationship between Lu Ping’an and Xia Qin wasn’t that close… their acquaintance hadn’t lasted more than two months! “Truly, ever so gullible, Captain Xia.” Then he laughed; such surprises made life interesting. So, he made a call. “Hello? Are you busy? There’s been an unexpected event here. Our cargo…yes, that key seed, has been intercepted by the captain. Could you please retrieve it?” Approximately ten minutes later, in front of Xia Qin, appeared a familiar figure. “Lei Huoren…” The familiar figure blocked their way, no remorse could be seen on the calm face.
