Chapter 632: I can even give you my life!
On this side, Zhang Jie had already taken the blonde girl named Lei Na to the nearest mall and was planning his next steps in his mind.
Meanwhile, Qi Yu had already prepared to take action.
Looking at a box of neatly arranged briefs, Qi Yu fell into contemplation.
She didn't know when it started, but she wanted to spit silk every day, and not doing so made her feel suffocated.
So she wove all that silk into briefs—not because she didn't want to weave other things, but because briefs were the easiest clothing to make.
"By the Master's side... there's actually a girl!"
"It's happened so fast! No... I must go find him!"
On Ceng Tian's side, things had been stuck; the higher-ups flatly refused to let Zhang Jie undergo any deeper examination, and the time until her Master's return was indefinitely far off.
If left unattended, in over a year there might even be a child!!!
Feeling an urgent sense in her heart, Qi Yu immediately applied to Ceng Tian to fly out and go on a business trip with Zhang Jie.
"......"
"Are you sure? Zhang Jie's identity still can't be confirmed as human."
"It could also be a more sophisticated mimicry."
Qi Yu shook her head; the Master is the Master, mimicry or not, she's not stupid.
"I'm sure!"
"Alright then, I'll approve your leave."
Ceng Tian had dark circles under his eyes; it was obvious he hadn't slept well in a long time.
A responsible person always gives their all.
Qi Yu left in high spirits, and before leaving she couldn't resist showing off to Zhang Yan.
"Fine, perfect—you can help me see how my younger brother is doing."
Zhang Yan smiled and said to Qi Yu, but her face showed little joy.
Since the day Qi Yu came back to tell them about Zhang Jie's news, she had known things were going badly.
Do you know what that means? Regardless of whether Zhang Jie is abnormal, the Abnormal Bureau won't loosen up anymore.
Ceng Tian sent Zhang Jie to the Outer Region as a temporary measure, but it wouldn't change much.
Dad had many old comrades-in-arms he knew, some of whom held high positions, and only then did they learn that the high command actually had major disagreements over Zhang Jie's issue.
One side believed that Zhang Jie's All-No Taboo would have a huge effect when he eventually rose to Chief, so they shouldn't sacrifice a future Chief for an uncertain future.
This side's composition had always been the majority of decision-makers in the Abnormal Bureau, and to some extent it represented the Bureau's stance.
But as the dire outcome worsened, the opposing faction's power grew wildly.
This faction advocated using the most extreme methods, sparing nothing to let humanity's future continue.
They quietly deployed artificial humans in human society to make up for population shortages, studied pollution, studied the supernatural, and continually carried out extremely inhumane research.
Artificial humans—beings combining human bodies with abnormal bioweapons, substances formed by crossing supernatural and abnormal matter—even rumors said mimicry was their masterpiece.
But there's no denying that they did indeed greatly slow the progress of humanity's extinction.
Now.... those in power are no longer the former conservatives; going forward, many even stranger things may appear.
In other words, Zhang Jie's innocence no longer matters; his greatest use is to supply headquarters and research the next generation of All-No Taboo.
"Sigh... I hope the future won't be so bad."
Zhang Yan sighed, while Qi Yu, that silly girl, had already boarded the plane to the Outer Region.
"Hmm, she also brought several pairs of briefs; for some reason, Qi Yu feels a sense of accomplishment dressing the Master in these."
"Hmm...."
"Taking on odd jobs hunting abnormalities in private, living under bridges, being chased by creditors, eating rats to survive...."
"Wandering alone outside for seven years, never touched hallucinogenic drugs, pollution level normal."
Zhang Jie glanced with his peripheral vision at a nervous girl nearby being pulled by a waiter to change clothes.
These were all the information Lai Te had gathered for him; Zhang Jie even doubted whether he had found the wrong person.
Looking at him any way, he's not particularly remarkable—just a struggling wretch in the mud.
Just like... Qi Yu at the very start, nibbling watermelon rinds by the trash can.
If it weren't for that strange person dropping a hint, Zhang Jie would never have met her by now.
This resilient girl hasn't given up on living to this day; looking at her, does she still hope the world will get better?
Zhang Jie felt pity; she was like a tenacious climbing vine—give her some water and a reliable big tree, and she'll grow vigorously, constantly climbing upward.
"....."
"Sigh, let's arrange a Will Awakening for her."
"I'll personally ask the questions."
After all these years, Zhang Jie could roughly understand the strange questions he used to ask during Will Awakening.
For example, what do you think goat meat is?
That's not nonsense—that stuff is human meat! Do you get it, two-legged sheep?
Also, if you were in the deep sea, what would the floating organisms around you seem like to you?
When a normal person is contaminated to a certain degree, they hallucinate; at that point, a person with normal cognition would think it's fish or pollution around them, but an abnormal person would think those are 'Human-Insects'.
It's that thing with a head attached to a spine that makes you lose SAN.
"Okay, Mr. Zhang Jie."
Lai Te now counts as his dedicated attendant; as soon as Zhang Jie arrived, he instantly outranked the Bureau Chief.
Right now, Lei Na has been cleaned up spotless; her golden hair is a bit dry, but it's ultimately dry and clean.
She looked at Zhang Jie, her eyes darting, but Zhang Jie didn't seem to be as bewitched as she imagined.
Hmm, much prettier.
Zhang Jie smiled; Lei Na is very pretty, the kind of pleasing-to-the-eye feeling, but if Zhang Jie were to say, actually she's still not as good-looking as Qi Yu.
Especially those extremely resilient insect limbs—tsk tsk tsk—what a feel, simply amazing.
Qi Yu's gray hair, the eyepatch covering her eyes, and that big dress—she's totally a chuunibyou girl.
You... why?
Lei Na unconsciously changed her tone of voice, like a cat that's been petted, no longer baring her fangs.
I simply admire your will.
Zhang Jie smiled at her.
Someone like you shouldn't be buried in the dust.
I believe you will become a very powerful anomaly containment specialist.
Lei Na was stunned; Zhang Jie's already tall image in her eyes grew even taller.
You're a strong little guy.
At that moment, years of pent-up frustration and grievance surged like a tide; Lei Na even felt an impulse, she was willing to give her life to Zhang Jie!
I will definitely not disappoint you!
(I rested yesterday, hehe!)
