Chapter 664: Taboo, nothing more

A dead file means being stuck in a dead cycle, unable to advance or retreat.

Zhang Jie is now in that situation; he cannot backtrack to the time before Qi Yu's accident.

「..... 」

Backtracking consumes his realm and life; each backtrack is a huge overdraft on himself.

But Zhang Jie, as if drinking water, seems not to care about his own life at all.

But this time, after Qi Yu's accident, he learned the news eighteen hours later.

The backtrack time cannot exceed eight hours, meaning this has already become fact, a distant past within the light‑cone horizon.

We cannot prove whether the past exists, but we will remember yesterday, which means past and present coexist.

Since it has become an outright fact, even if you could backtrack, you could no longer reach the past.

At this moment, Zhang Jie feels only exhaustion, endless exhaustion.

No one can help him, no one can understand him, no one knows what he has been through; this feeling makes him extremely... exhausted.

"Are you okay?"

"This matter is the result of the three forces acting together."

「..... 」

"The Anomaly Bureau needs to give me an explanation."

"I know, I know, calm down."

Ceng Tian looked at Zhang Jie's hair, half turned white, his eyes extraordinarily complex; even if he were slow, he had already sensed something wrong with Zhang Jie.

"They... must pay the price for this!!!"

His chest full of anger had nowhere to vent; Zhang Jie now! immediately! right away! wanted to rush straight to Si Luo and twist his head off!

"Chief Zhang Jie, someone from headquarters has come, saying they personally came to apologize to you."

"Apologize to your mother!"

Zhang Jie shoved Ceng Tian aside, stepped forward, and instantly found the 'messenger' sent by headquarters.

Although it's said that in battle between sides one does not harm the envoy, Zhang Jie truly wanted to twist the other's head off.

"Tell Si Luo, this matter won't just end like this."

"And headquarters, better let the mastermind behind the scenes come forward! Honestly bring Qi Yu back to me!"

"Three days! I give you only three days! If there's no satisfactory answer...."

The messenger was about to wet himself, stuttering unable to utter a word, his eyes full of fear.

That... was the same look as when facing an anomaly.

Zhang Jie suddenly realized his loss of composure, forcibly calmed himself, and continued speaking.

"In three days I will break the taboo; if I don't get the answer I want, I will personally go to headquarters and twist his head off."

"Understood?"

"Clear! Understood!"

The messenger scrambled away, and only then did Zhang Jie turn his head to look at Ceng Tian.

"You... aren't planning to wait?"

"Can't wait any longer; they're too slow, we can't just sit and wait for death."

"Three days? Actually only one day is needed; Zhang Jie's accumulated pollution has now peaked, and one day will let him reach the Forbidden Permit."

「..... 」

"I will hold on."

Ceng Tian spoke solemnly, saying he only needed to protect the person he cared about, and would do so even if it meant his death.

"Others... as far as the Anomaly Bureau is concerned, there's no need to target them; they pose no danger and shouldn't."

Zhang Jie nodded, his body shot up from the ground, swiftly threading through the sky.

And Zhang Jie's words at this moment were fully transmitted to the ears of the Anomaly Bureau's high ranks.

"Look at what you've done!!!"

One of the Forbidden Permit holders, emotionally agitated, said that the situation was already bad, and now seeing this bunch of idiots under him constantly harming their own side, he truly felt like dying.

Basically, if they don't cause trouble, Zhang Jie, Qi Yu, Lei Na, and Zhang Shuo all have a high chance of becoming chiefs.

Once these four become chiefs, then ask for Zhang Jie's blood with a more respectful attitude, and he will surely relent.

Several Forbidden Permit holders have said, don't provoke them, don't cause trouble; just let that mimicking little girl pass her test, and even if she rebels, it's not up to you to manage.

Accompanying you on a trip to the past to relieve pressure is already the biggest concession; yet Si Luo this bastard went ahead and acted on his own!
