Chapter 457

These secrets were things that even Yin Nanfeng and Zhang Yueshan couldn't know.

As a staff member, she was actually able to hear these secrets because she followed Zhang Lin.

Sheng Sheng Man involuntarily turned her head to look at Zhang Lin, finding that Zhang Lin's gaze was deep, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Transporting people to Mount Zhangbai, was that Mr. Wei's idea or yours?"

Captain Zhou replied truthfully: "It was Mr. Wei's idea; after we evaluated it, we agreed to his proposal."

"Of course, until now, we haven't seen his purpose."

"So, our expert group judged that this move by Mr. Wei, like his proposal to screen the first batch of treasure-seekers from the internet, has no practical significance."

No practical significance?

Zhang Lin heard this and turned to look at Captain Zhou.

This look made Captain Zhou feel a chill in his heart.

He said somewhat uncertainly: "Mr. Zhang, did I say something wrong?"

Zhang Lin chuckled and said: "Whether it's this Chang San or Mr. Wei, they are both his aliases, but one thing remains unchanged: he comes from the thunder-listening clan!"

"So, Captain Zhou, don't underestimate him!"

"Even being able to scam some information from him this time, I feel it's incredible."

"The purpose of the thunder-listening clan is to hear effective information from the thunder sounds, thereby pulling events back to the correct timeline."

"In this process, they should have extremely astonishing gains; otherwise, they wouldn't go to such lengths!"

"So, haven't you noticed the key point yet?"

Captain Zhou was a bit confused by Zhang Lin's words; he was also considered a leading young figure of the new generation in the military.

But facing Zhang Lin today, he always felt his brain wasn't working well, stalling repeatedly.

Sheng Sheng Man saw that Captain Zhou was truly embarrassed and whispered to help him out: "Captain Zhou, it's the thunder-listening clan's ability to protect themselves..."

Sheng Sheng Man's reminder made Captain Zhou tremble all over.

Then he looked at Zhang Lin with an expression of disbelief!

His tone was somewhat stuttering: "Right! Why didn't I think of that!"

"It's just... if that's really the case, wouldn't our move today be somewhat contradictory?"

Sheng Sheng Man also understood the riddle-like words of the two.

In fact, it was very simple; Zhang Lin's meaning was that Chang San, as a thunder-listener, could hear information guidance about the future from the thunder sounds.

The larger information was that which could affect the development of human history.

As for the smaller ones, of course, they were about himself!

If a person had the opportunity to foresee the future, the first thing he would definitely look at was himself!

In various ancient Xia studies, there was a tradition that fortune tellers didn't tell their own fortunes, and doctors didn't treat themselves.

Zhang Lin estimated that this thunder-listening technique should also have such restrictions.

Otherwise, for the user, a thunder-listening technique without any restrictions would be too heaven-defying!

But even if doctors didn't treat themselves, Chang San couldn't see his own exact future from the thunder sounds.

He must have a way to perceive danger and major upheavals!

This was the same principle as a doctor being able to roughly judge what disease they had from their own state, and a physiognomist knowing whether they would have a bloody disaster upon entering by observing the surrounding energy.

The foreknowledge of one's own disaster was a human instinct!

So according to common sense, the authorities joining forces with Zhang Lin to deal with him should have been something he could foresee.

But judging from Chang San's reaction after the event, he was completely caught off guard.

His expression was one of shock and panic; this was probably the first time in his life he had encountered an unexpected upheaval!

Zhang Lin felt at the time that this matter, overall, had contradictory points.

Now he had figured it out; the problem lay in Chang San's reaction!

He acted as if he hadn't expected today's events to have a reversal at all.

His ability to predict danger was zero at that moment!

This matter, placed on a thunder-listener, was simply impossible.

So Zhang Lin judged that the problem might lie with himself!

The system had told him that because of his identity as a transmigrator, he was an outsider to this world.

Chang San couldn't hear any information about Zhang Lin in the thunder sounds.

In other words, as long as Zhang Lin participated in any matter, it became unknown!

Zhang Lin's existence was itself a sharp weapon against thunder-listeners.

As long as he was willing, he could add variables to all timelines, making thunder-listeners like Chang San confused to death!

Of course, only Zhang Lin himself knew about his special nature for now.

This was his biggest bargaining chip when facing thunder-listeners, and he wouldn't tell others casually.

But now that he brought it up, it naturally aroused Captain Zhou's thinking.

Captain Zhou also couldn't explain why Chang San had no prediction for this encounter?

If it was a coincidence, then the authorities were too lucky; there might not be such an opportunity next time.

If it wasn't a coincidence, then the truth was probably only known to Zhang Lin!

Captain Zhou looked at Zhang Lin and found that he had no intention of continuing to explain, so he knew the reason; Zhang Lin didn't want to say.

"Mr. Zhang, does this upheaval have anything to do with you?"

"Oh, of course, if you don't want to say, it doesn't matter at all."

"The order I received is that I cannot force you to do anything."

Zhang Lin didn't expect the authorities to have such great sincerity.

He could only say vaguely: "The reasons are complicated; you can understand it as me having a way to interfere with his thunder-listening technique!"

"So as long as I participate in something, Chang San's thunder-listening technique is inaccurate!"

"I have never participated in his request for you to transport the treasure-seekers to Mount Zhangbai."

"So, for this matter, he must have another purpose!"

"When a serious matter follows a ridiculous one, many people will have inertial thinking, feeling that this serious matter is also a ridiculous one!"

"This should be his purpose!"

"I ask you, where in Mount Zhangbai were those people sent?"

Captain Zhou suddenly realized and then said: "I don't know the specific location; I need to ask for instructions."

After he finished speaking, he walked to the side to make a phone call.

Zhang Lin took out pen and paper, looked up, and thought for a moment.

He brushed down a name and then looked at Sheng Sheng Man.

"How about it, is this name on the list?"
