Chapter 840: She Understood!
After extinguishing the flames, Xue Xi looked up at the horse-faced man and slowly said, “Playing with fire is wrong.”
The man in black: “...”
After saying that, Xue Xi said seriously, “Also, it’s wrong to bully Little Flame.”
“...”
After saying this, she grabbed the horse-faced man. He was so big and he still had the strength to charge forward, so he should be heavier than an ordinary person.
However, Xue Xi only pulled gently and he fell to the ground.
He looked at everyone in shock and realized that time had stopped.
But he didn’t lose control?
The long-faced man understood something. He even knew that he could see and hear Xue Xi because she allowed it.
During this time freeze, Xue Xi could move whoever she wanted.
The horse-faced man knew that Xue Xi was doing this because she had something to say to him. Hence, when he realized that he could move, he obediently sat on the grass.
Xue Xi sat opposite him and was not afraid that he would run away. She said, “Give Little Flame’s identity an explanation and help clarify it.”
Her voice sounded like an order, but it was also a threat.
After saying that, Xue Xi started thinking hard about how she would punish the horse-faced man if he did not agree.
Using ancient torture on him? Forcing him to agree?
However, just as she thought this, she heard the man in black say, “Okay.”
Xue Xi: “?”
She hesitantly looked at the horse-faced man in black. She thought that he would only agree if she tortured him severely. Xue Xi was even thinking about how to threaten him!
In the end, he agreed so easily?
Xue Xi frowned and asked, “Why?”
The man in black smiled. “Because it’s your order.”
Order...
Why did he use this word...
Xue Xi asked again, “Do you know me?”
The man in black shook his head. “I can’t tell you yet.”
If he could not say it, it meant that he did know her.
Xue Xi tolerated Xiang Huai’s little secrets, but as for this man in black...
She rolled up her sleeves. “If you don’t say it, I’ll beat you up.”
The man in black: “...”
The man in black sighed. “Alright, I’ll say it, alright? It’s because you’re Night Owl.”
Xue Xi: “?”
She had just chatted with Jing Fei about the names of the three Protectors in the Superhuman Organization. If she recalled correctly, the most mysterious one seemed to be Night Owl?
She was Night Owl?
How was this possible?!
She shook her head. “I don’t believe it.”
The man in black shrugged. The scar on his face was obvious. “I already said it, but you didn’t believe me. If I hadn’t said it, you’d have beat me up. It’s too hard to be human!”
Xue Xi: “...”
The man in black sighed. “If you seriously injure me and I help your friend clarify later, everyone might feel that you forced me.”
“...”
Xue Xi had actually been defeated by him. Moreover, he was actually quite right.
Xue Xi thought about it. There was no doubt that the Superhuman Organization was related to her.
Whether it was from the orphanage, her princess-like lifestyle, or the series of events that followed...
However, the most important thing now was to help Little Flame clarify.
Let’s talk about those things later.
Xue Xi snapped her fingers and time returned to normal.
Jing Fei was still trying his best to rush up. “No!”
Then—because the man in black had suddenly disappeared, he accidentally flew too high.
“Ah ah ah ah, it’s too scary!”
Jing Fei covered his eyes and landed.
Beside him, Gao Yanchen’s heart skipped a beat. He clearly saw the flame igniting the bombs, but why did the man in black suddenly disappear?
He escaped?
He subconsciously wanted to chase after him, but... everyone soon realized that the horse-faced man had already fallen to the ground.
The horse-faced man silently stood up and raised his hands. He looked at Xue Xi among the crowd. “I admit defeat.”
Everyone: “?”
Was this person joking?
Just now, he was still looking as though he was going to give his life to create trouble. Why did he fall to the ground in the blink of an eye and suddenly become so timid?
Everyone rushed forward and grabbed him.
Jing Fei then said, “Return to the police station.”
Gao Yanchen followed Jing Fei back to be investigated.
Xue Xi, on the other hand, hid her achievements and followed everyone back to the special department.
Jing Fei was investigating the horse-faced man in black. Xue Xi was present the entire time, so the horse-faced man was very cooperative. He stared at Gao Yanchen gloomily and grinned. “A child from the Superhuman Organization is considered a member of the Superhuman Organization. Do you know why I had to chase after you?”
Gao Yanchen’s eyes were red as he stared at him.
The horse-faced man in black said, “Because those who betray the Superhuman Organization will also bring their families to ruin!”
Betray?
Jing Fei hesitated. “What happened?”
The horse-faced man lowered his head and appeared very angry. “The word betray is actually not appropriate. It should be said that they were undercover!”
Undercover?
Jing Fei looked at Gao Yanchen in shock.
High-level spies were all SSS-level encrypted. Other than Boss, no one else could see them.
So, Boss must know about this, right?
As he thought this, he suddenly felt respect for Gao Yanchen’s parents.
The horse-faced man in black nodded. “Yes, they were your spies that had infiltrated us. Back then, I was the one who’d recommended them to join the Superhuman Organization. Gao Yanchen, your mother and I had a very good relationship. At that time, I really treated her as my biological sister.
“However, later on, it turned out she was an undercover agent who’d infiltrated the organization. It’s your special department that killed my wife! I hate that spy to the core!
“Do you know how I felt when I realized that my sister betrayed me?! I hate her. I... killed her with my own hands.”
The horse-faced man in black looked at Gao Yanchen. “I’ve always known of your existence. Your parents accidentally exposed it, but they begged me not to tell the others, so I never reported it to the organization and helped them hide it. At that time, when I suspected that your parents were spies, I gave them a chance. I purposely exposed a flaw. Indeed, they could not wait to report it to the special department.
“The two of them have always been very cautious. They’ve been undercover for more than ten years and have never been rash. Do you know why they fell for it that time?”
Gao Yanchen clenched his fists. “Why?”
“Because your birthday was coming soon.” The long-faced man lowered his head. “They wanted to completely understand everything before your birthday so that they could go home to accompany you. Your mother always said that she couldn’t spend much time with you. She must accompany you on this birthday.
“So, they took a risk. After that, I actually didn’t want to kill her. I just wanted to capture them and torture them until they confessed. But in order to hide the gift she bought for you and all the information about your existence, she set a fire and burned the car. They also committed suicide.”
After saying this, the horse-faced man lowered his head.
After Jing Fei recorded this situation, he could not help but ask, “Haven’t you always known about Gao Yanchen’s existence? Why didn’t you take revenge a few years ago?”
When the horse-faced man in black heard this, he looked up at Gao Yanchen.
He grinned and said nothing.
However, for some unknown reason, Xue Xi could see a hint of helplessness and reluctance in his smile.
This was because Little Flame’s mother was someone he recognized.
Hence, even if the woman had died, even if she had betrayed him, he could not bear to do it.
After that... Little Flame became famous during the esports competition and was discovered.
The horse-faced man in black could not hide his existence anymore and could only volunteer to kill him. His every move seemed to be fatal, but in fact, he gave Gao Yanchen a chance of survival every time.
Xue Xi did not understand this complicated feeling.
She could only watch as Gao Yanchen’s clenched fists slowly relaxed...
Then, she saw the horse-faced man in black being taken away by Jing Fei and the rest. He suddenly approached Gao Yanchen and whispered something into his ear.
Gao Yanchen stood rooted to the ground.
Xue Xi wanted to ask what the horse-faced man had said to Gao Yanchen, but just as she walked over, Jing Fei said, “What’s your code name?”
The long-faced man was stunned and immediately said, “Boron water.”
Boron water?
Jing Fei found it strange, but he did not think much of it and got someone to send him to jail.
Before entering the prison, the horse-faced man suddenly stopped. “By the way, Daybreak asked me to help him pass a message.”
Jing Fei smiled. “That’s right. You’re the fifth captured Super. What? Is it about the esper genetic research data? Where is it?”
The horse-faced man suddenly smiled. “No, he asked me to tell you. Do you think you will win if you capture me?”
Jing Fei: “?”
The rest were also baffled. “Could there be a sixth person? But that’s shameless. When we made the bet, we agreed to capture five people!”
The horse-faced man in black smiled and did not speak.
Jing Fei waved his hand. “Are you crazy? Bring him to the prison. When Boss comes back, deal with him!”
“Yes!”
Xue Xi did not move forward, nor did she ask Gao Yanchen what the man in black had just said to him. At this moment, she had connected the code names of the five of them.
Graphite, wax, concrete, charcoal, and now boron water.
Wasn’t this Superhuman Organization’s leader so interesting?
Jing Fei said, “I think Vulture must be a chemistry expert. Look at this code name. It’s too interesting!”
Just as he said this, Xue Xi suddenly lifted her head. Her usually calm actions were nowhere to be found as she quickly said, “No!”
Jing Fei was shocked. “What’s wrong?”
Xue Xi widened her eyes. “Something has happened!”
Without another word, she rushed to the phone beside her and dialed 119. When the other party picked up, Xue Xi said, “Hello, this is the special department. There’s something that we need your cooperation with immediately!”
The fireman said, “Yes, please speak.”
Xue Xi enunciated each word clearly. “Was there a fire or an explosion today?”
In the capital city, because the security was strict everywhere, nothing would happen.
The only thing that happened was...
“Hello, we’ve found something here. Five minutes ago, there was a slight explosion at a reservoir in the suburbs. There are already rescue personnel who went to put out the fire.”
A reservoir had exploded...
Xue Xi suddenly said, “Get everyone to evacuate immediately!”
After hanging up, she looked at Jing Fei. “Contact all the espers and go to the suburbs reservoir immediately!”
Jing Fei was stunned. “What’s wrong? Sister Xi, the reservoir is relatively remote and no one lives there. Even if the Superhuman Organization blows things up there, no one will be injured.”
“No, not an explosion.”
Xue Xi’s eyes were fixed on Jing Fei. “Code names. Those code names are not chemical elements.”
Jing Fei was stunned. “What are they?”
Xue Xi took a deep breath. “All the materials have one thing in common: they isolate radiation.”
Isolate radiation?
Graphite, wax, concrete, charcoal, and boron water were indeed effective things for isolating radiation...
Just as Jing Fei thought this, he suddenly turned to look at Xue Xi. “You mean...”
Xue Xi slowly said, “Chernobyl.”
Chernobyl...
Before Xue Xi could explain, Jing Fei suddenly understood something and was shocked. “Hurry, report this to Boss!”
Something big had happened!
