Chapter 646: I Have My Own Zhang Jie

The Chief Investigator's legacy can, to some extent, reverse the results that have already become reality.

But it requires the user to endure extremely strong pollution, even the Chief Investigator cannot fully bear it.

Before, Zhang Jie had no concept of it, but after wandering on Jade Star for a few months, Zhang Jie also gained a basic understanding of this pollution's value.

The ordinary person who was reversed last time endured pollution of about 300w or more; although it was just an instant, it did indeed leave him unconscious for a long time.

Now thinking about it, pollution values of several million are enough to make one become a Chief; back then, I wasn't just fainted—I was almost dead there!

"Ah, back then I was truly foolish."

Zhang Jie shook his head, pulled out something he normally never uses, and the Chief Investigator's legacy temporarily only has this one ability.

"Qi Yu, come, help me hold her down."

"Master! Master!"

Qi Yu responded with two cries, its tiny short hands slapped down on Lei Na; although it looked like she could easily break free, Lei Na felt as if two mountains were pressing down on her.

She struggled desperately; no, I should say the thing controlling her brain was struggling desperately—the threat Zhang Jie posed to him was no less than that man's.

"Mas... Master!!!"

"What the hell? To save my life, I even called out 'master'?"

Zhang Jie's hand movements didn't stop at all; he shoved the containment object onto the other's back and frantically activated it.

Reversing an ordinary person contaminated and assimilated requires bearing three million pollution; this time, reversing a senior investigator likely requires bearing even more.

The same scene reappeared; Lei Na's body began to flicker incessantly, with various forms constantly appearing under Qi Yu's tiny claws.

Watching her flip like a book's pages, Zhang Jie felt it was like searching through countless possibilities to find a correct one.

"Master!"

Qi Yu was blown away; Zhang Jie then came to his senses and hurriedly pressed down on the other.

"Holy shit, the Chief has arrived!"

Under countless possibilities, Lei Na's Chief form appeared here and kicked Qi Yu flying with a foot.

Even Zhang Jie could barely hold her down; one struggled with all strength, the other feared hurting her and didn't exert full force.

Meanwhile, during the struggle, the other caught a glimpse of Zhang Jie's face.

"A Jie?"

Zhang Jie froze upon hearing that nickname; Lei Na's look at him was like that of a long-separated lover reuniting.

Sure enough, the next moment, taking advantage of Zhang Jie's daze, she broke free from his hold and flung her arms around him.

"I've missed you so much...."

"It's not a dream... this isn't... a dream..."

Qi Yu:!!!

"Master! Master! Wah wah wah!!!"

Qi Yu grabbed her clothes with its hands, couldn't pull them down, and the whole creature burst into tears.

Qi Yu: I've already burst into tears.

"Lei Na... you..."

"Don't speak!"

Zhang Jie became honest, could only let the other hold him, feeling somewhat hopeless.

"How did this thing come about? Chief Lei Na?"

Looking at her appearance, she seems around twenty-eight or nine; is this... her from some other world?

"You... you are not the Lei Na of this world."

"......"

The other remained silent, but he could feel the delicate body trembling in his embrace.

"Yes, I know."

She lifted her tear-filled eyes toward Zhang Jie and spoke in a wronged tone.

"But the you of that world left long ago."

Zhang Jie scratched his head, feeling strangely that something might be off.

"Not right.... strange..."

Zhang Jie recalled that mysterious person, who said that Zhang Jie's most important person was Lei Na's, and because of that, Zhang Jie had the idea to seek them out.

"Um, but... this world's Lei Na is merely my disciple."

"Do you want to let go first?"

"....."

"???"

"Master!!!"

Qi Yu was crying anxiously....

Afterward, after some consolation, Lei Na finally stabilized; Qi Yu was now frantically gnawing at Lei Na's buttocks, but obviously, she lacked the ability.

"Hmm.... so, back then I was 17, on a business trip in the outer region, and I picked you up?"

"And I even fed you pig feed?"

Zhang Jie stroked his chin, thinking, and felt this plot seemed somewhat familiar...

Lei Na nodded, her heart and eyes full of longing.

She clasped her hands tightly in front of her chest, recounting the situation at that time.

"Back then I had just fled from home, wandering, sleeping under bridges, scavenging for food, and you saved me."

"Yeah, and you took me to eat hamburgers, took me to eat ice cream, and even let me try pig feed!"

emmm, then...

Then? Then I fell in love with you at first sight, confessed right there, and you brought me back to the inner area.

Zhang Jie:!!!

What does that mean!

What about Qi Yu? It's this little guy.

I was 17 and had never been to the outer area; back then I was doing quests with my older sister.

Your sister... is she still alive?

Zhang Jie puzzled, what else then?

Wait...

But suddenly, he seemed to notice something, his brows furrowed deeply.

His older sister really did die once, but after that he usually couldn't recall it well, perhaps due to some mysterious law suppressing it, or perhaps for other reasons.

And after becoming chief, the details of that matter began to become increasingly clear.

If you put it that way... that's indeed correct.

If it weren't for that matter, older sister would surely die.

So, is this matter the turning point where the two worlds differ?

This little guy... I don't know, I've never seen him, never.

Lei Na didn't recognize Qi Yu, just as Qi Yu had once swaggered openly under the eyes of countless chiefs; she merely felt it was a special little gadget.

Is it a pet?

No! I! No!

Qi Yu was so angry he could almost speak; Lei Na narrowed her eyes teasing him, while Zhang Jie seriously pondered the current problem.

Do you plan to stay here?

Lei Na froze; she had never thought about this question, nor did she want to.

But since Zhang Jie asked, she could only answer truthfully.

I... I will leave.

Why?

Ha, sorry, maybe saying it like that isn't great, but...

You are ultimately not him.

Although he left me long ago.

Sorry, my question.

Zhang Jie shook his head helplessly; you're right, he ultimately isn't the him in Lei Na's impression.

Lei Na cupped Zhang Jie's face, laughing through tears, not knowing what expression it was.

So, a hug is enough.

I have my own Zhang Jie.
