Chapter 515, Section 496: The Down-to-Earth Prophet
On this snowy winter night, Jiang Jianxin's first encounter with the Predictor family turned into a lesson.
The prophet didn't directly tell her the rules and taboos of the prophetic sequence, but just a few words were enough for her to understand what the power of prophecy represented.
It is an unspeakable regret, a realization of the truth that cannot be directly changed, and a forbearance that can only be endured through long-term planning.
Ten years ago, World Television, Black Eye Pharmaceuticals, and Rose Group controlled every aspect of this city and even influenced the lives of ordinary people through various means.
Most people in the Light faction only have a mental boost; they lack the immense strength to overturn a table in war, and they also lack the adaptability to integrate into the world of Chaos.
They blend into the crowd like ordinary people, with only a fleeting glimpse of melancholy in their eyes behind their glasses.
Even geniuses, despite their talent, still have to live the mundane life of ordinary people.
Just like now, Yuzhijia led her through the wind and snow, and instead of rushing to use high-end tactics, he first took her to the supermarket and grabbed two baskets of discounted snacks and pastries.
She was scolded by the older woman for being too fast, but knowing that the head of the household was thick-skinned, she remained unmoved and left with the pastries.
Jiang Jianxin followed behind her, watching in awe.
"I thought... I was so smart when I was little, I must have grown up drinking elixir. I never expected you to eat fries."
Jiang Jianxin picked up a bag and hesitated:
"Honey butter and tomato flavors?"
Yuzhi nodded slightly.
"Good taste."
She pointed to the remaining steak and chicken nugget flavors on the shelf and said:
"We'll try those two flavors next time."
Jiang Jianxin asked suspiciously:
"You have money?"
The precognizer nodded:
“My brother is rich. He gives me money, and then I can ask my elders for more when I need it. He is the heir to the priesthood, and the family will not treat him unfairly.”
Jiang Jianxin asked:
"Has your family mistreated you?"
The person who knew the outcome shook their head:
"No, but I need to make plans. Transportation costs are also money, and I occasionally need to hire helicopters for airdrops. The expenses are too high, and what the family provides is simply not enough."
Jiang Jianxin nodded, not expecting that the plan would require him to become a member of the 12306 railway ticket booking system.
The steps were completely different from what she had imagined; they were actually quite down-to-earth.
"Okay, after I settle the bill, come with me to my place."
Jiang Jianxin nodded and waited outside the supermarket for Yu Zhijia to finish paying. Then, seeing that she was urging him to find a shared bicycle, he rode the bicycle all the way to the other side of the river in the Black Pupil Pharmaceutical Industrial Park.
The most ingenious thing is that there's a car return point on the other side of the river.
I remained calm when I parked the car at home.
“The management of the park will also come out to give us some pointers. In war, you can fly and disappear into the ground, but in times of peace, it’s still more convenient to ride a shared bike.”
She said this with great confidence because she knew all too well what kind of indigenous faction the Light was.
They may appear glamorous on the outside, but inside they are full of people driven to madness. They have no support in their daily lives, and even the most advanced people still have to walk on their own.
To put it in their own words, this camp is completely ruined.
So...where do you live?
Jiang Jianxin glanced blankly at both sides of the riverbank. This area was located in the suburbs and was extremely desolate. She could not see any buildings in the distance, but the screams from the park kept echoing in her ears.
"I live in..."
Yuzhijia stretched out his hand and pointed to the park on the other side of the river.
"There."
Jiang Jianxin looked in the direction she was pointing and made sure he hadn't misread the location.
"You live inside the park?" Jiang Jianxin looked at Yuzhijia in great shock, her expression hesitant as she thought of an important question:
When I was a child...did I still have both kidneys?
Yuzhijia glared at her.
“I’m perfectly fine. You don’t understand the wisdom of my choice of where I live.”
Yuzhijia chuckled coldly twice:
“I have made an enemy of that schemer. He will search everywhere for me and want to kill me as soon as possible, but he will not check his own park.”
Yuzhi smiled slightly:
"Even if that person racked his brains, he would never have imagined that I would have the guts to come here."
Jiang Jianxin took a deep breath. Let alone a schemer, she never expected that the person who knew the future would live directly in the park.
"Then how are you going to get in? Aren't there guards here?"
Jiang Jianxin frowned, picked up the Tangguang Sword, and said:
"Do you need my help..."
Jiang Jianxin made a throat-slitting gesture.
Foresight is as light as a feather:
"No need, I have a shortcut that leads directly there. As for guards..."
She compared her eyes to her own.
"To foresee, to foresee, to know everything."
Jiang Jianxin followed Yuzhi's family along the path to the riverbank. When they reached the park road, she truly witnessed Yuzhi's divine power.
The white-robed girl in front of him was strolling around leisurely as if taking a walk, yet she always managed to time her steps perfectly, leading him around every patrol of guards. Her timing was so precise that Jiang Jianxin always felt that if he was even a step too late, he would be discovered.
Unlike Jiang Jianxin's nervousness, Yu Zhijia was unusually calm. Presumably, timing her movements had become part of her professional skills, which made her much more indifferent.
Following the premonitory family, we arrived at an abandoned building within a park. This area was farther from the core location, so the wailing could no longer be heard.
Jiang Jianxin stood at the entrance and looked into the park. She saw more than a dozen huge, colorful tents. The tents were made of plastic and supported by iron poles, looking very rough. She asked Yu Zhijia:
"What... are those things for?"
The foreknowledgeable person bluntly stated:
"Some are operating rooms for shady deals, some are places of torture."
The Predictor sneered:
"The leader of this force only has his head in a vase, so he wants everyone to be like him."
She turned and walked into the building, her voice drifting through the empty hallway:
"Pain can completely warp a person."
Jiang Jianxin looked at the large tents standing in the distance and heard faint cries coming from them. She didn't say anything. She turned around and followed Yuzhijia into the abandoned building.
"In the future, this place will be completely leveled."
As Jiang Jianxin spoke, it was unclear whether he was speaking to the prophet or to himself.
"Yes, the people of the future were saved, but they are all dead now."
"I know," Yu Zhijia said calmly.
Jiang Jianxin suddenly stopped walking. She turned around with her hand on her sword, and just as she was about to leave, Yu Zhijia stopped her.
"Don't go. The future can be changed, but the past is set in stone."
"Once you draw your sword, the timeline will immediately jump back, and you will no longer be able to see me."
Jiang Jianxin took a deep breath and finally put down her sword. She said nothing, and the two of them silently went upstairs.
The abandoned building was deserted. Yu Zhijia pushed open the door and said:
"This is where I live."
I've been a bit busy lately. I saw the donations from you guys, and I'll update again when I have time.
