Chapter 558: Scenes in a Dream
Evening gradually arrived.
No one noticed Ye Yao sneaking off to meet Jie Tusheng.
The Magical Girl Alliance had finished resting and was back in the reception hall, conversing with the Countermeasure Bureau High Command.
"I have already learned the truth through a mysterious little channel. Although Ye Ge was a bit heavy-handed, those people were in the wrong first!"
Ye Yao opened with a shocking statement.
What did she mean by the "victims" deserved it?
Was that really the case?
Jie Fuqi's mind almost couldn't process it.
Could it really be that the people who got beaten brought it upon themselves?
Ye Yao continued.
"According to my investigation, the guys Ye Ge beat up were all unqualified adults. They had been imposing huge burdens on people with poor mental health for a long time without even noticing a problem. It was practically destroying lives."
"Uh, this..."
Jie Fuqi subconsciously looked at the blurry Magical Girl Flower Leaf.
She didn't react at all, seemingly tacitly agreeing with these words.
Jie Fuqi fell into a brief silence; the others were also somewhat speechless, never expecting this kind of development.
Could it be... that the people who got beaten really deserved it?
"We will conduct a further investigation. If the situation is confirmed, we will strictly follow regulations and issue disciplinary actions."
"That's more like it~"
Ye Yao and the others left.
She had promised to stay at the Countermeasure Bureau Headquarters until the results came out.
The other high-ranking officials began a heated discussion.
Jie Fuqi looked at Jie Louwei beside him.
"If it's truly as she said, Ye Ge only took Luo Jianhua away from that unhealthy environment by force to vent her anger."
"It's logical, but the connection between the two is still unclear."
"This brings us back to the initial question—the origins of Ye Ge and Nursery Rhyme, yet that little one isn't willing to tell us."
Jie Fuqi sighed again.
Not only their identities, but even where that incredible power came from was a puzzle.
Fortunately, one thing could be confirmed: Ye Ge didn't seem to be an evil, crazy woman.
At least she was willing to stand up for a girl she had no relation to.
As for how to obtain the next piece of information, they could only slowly gain Nursery Rhyme's trust.
Night.
Jie Louwei returned to his private space; he clearly needed a quiet environment to think about some things.
The feeling from seeing Nursery Rhyme's true face not long ago was very strange.
Jie Louwei would never ignore this detail; he always had the Aura of getting to the bottom of such matters.
He had to get to the bottom of the source.
"That sense of familiarity, that Resonance that made my Soul tremble—could it be a warning?"
Jie Louwei often didn't think in unrealistic directions.
But if you cast aside the answers that could be ruled out, the remaining answer, no matter how incredible, often held the highest probability.
Jie Louwei took a deep breath, letting himself enter a brief state of sleep.
Perhaps his brain was overloaded and needed some time to cool down.
A short sleep could make him clearer-headed.
And in that instant, some dream-like images flashed through Jie Louwei's mind.
A shattered city, a global disaster, Fu Qi whose life or death was unknown, and that black-haired figure that filled one with a sense of powerlessness—Ye Ge.
In the fragmented images, Jie Louwei locked eyes with that gaze that seemed to be looking at a dead person, further confirming his situation.
Without a doubt, she was an enemy!
At that moment, Ye Ge threw a punch!
"!!!"
Jie Louwei suddenly opened his eyes, his Qi instantly overflowing, and his back was unknowingly soaked in cold sweat.
A nightmare?
No!
It was a warning!
"What's going on? Why would those images appear in my mind?"
Jie Louwei covered his forehead with one hand, trying to obtain more images, but there was no new information; only the despair-filled scene from just a moment ago kept flashing through his mind.
This feeling was very familiar.
When he saw Nursery Rhyme's true face earlier, he had had a strange, inexplicable feeling.
And after entering that brief state of letting his mind go blank just now, the eerie feeling had further intensified, and there were even images that had never appeared before.
It felt just like... something that had already happened.
"The future?"
If he thought in this direction, the images that appeared in his mind just now were images of the future, which meant that a world-shaking event would definitely happen.
And Ye Ge was present, Fu Qi's life or death was unknown, and he himself was being attacked by Ye Ge.
It was clearly an extremely tragic battle.
Even the entire city was torn apart, just like the apocalypse.
"Is what Ye Ge said about destroying the world true?"
Jie Louwei had to re-examine this question.
"Damn it, why weren't there more detailed images?"
He couldn't easily draw a conclusion based on this kind of fragmented information.
But those images and the vivid sense of powerlessness gave Jie Louwei an unprecedented sense of urgency.
He had to master a trump card that could serve as a fallback, ensuring that the images that appeared in his mind just now wouldn't come to pass!
Subsequently, Jie Louwei quickly went out to find Jie Fuqi.
The two began another late-night conversation.
"What do you mean visions of Ye Ge destroying the world appeared in your mind? Could it be that you're hallucinating from too much pressure?"
He was trying to downplay it.
Jie Fuqi almost thought the man in front of him had had his brain damaged by Magical Girl Nursery Rhyme.
It was reasonable for brain injury symptoms to have a delayed onset.
"I'm not joking."
Jie Louwei's expression was very serious.
Jie Fuqi had to take this matter seriously.
"You mean? In that vision, my life or death is unknown?"
"Possibly dead."
"Nonsense, even if you died, it's impossible for me to die that easily. Who do you think has the strongest survival skills?"
Jie Fuqi didn't treat Jie Louwei's statement as nonsense.
If someone else had said this, there might be a suspicion of delusion.
But if it came from one of the Countermeasure Bureau's top powerhouses, its authenticity had to be verified.
"I'm putting down my work right now to take a nap. I don't believe you're special. I hope similar images appear in my mind too."
After saying that, Jie Fuqi cut off his thoughts without another word and fell into a deep sleep right in front of Jie Louwei.
The latter remained silent, as if waiting for an answer.
A while later.
Jie Fuqi suddenly opened his eyes and began to pant heavily.
"I seem to have seen you and me fighting a mysterious figure for our lives, the whole city falling apart. That feeling of risking our lives couldn't be wrong!"
Jie Louwei: "...?"
No, you can actually see it?
So he wasn't special after all.
And as Jie Fuqi's statement came out, Jie Louwei's mood grew increasingly heavy.
"Regardless, we must increase our strength as quickly as possible. Time waits for no one, and I don't want to see this city turn into ruins."
Jie Fuqi didn't seem to have recovered yet.
He felt that his brother's strategy of head-on combat might be a bit shaky.
"What if... what if we don't have the strength to fight head-on no matter what?"
"Then we'll have to use any means necessary. I will not allow anyone to destroy the current order."
Jie Louwei looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with depth.
"I will make my first attempt tomorrow. I'll leave the headquarters to you for now."
"So soon!?"
Jie Fuqi felt that the man before him was acting too urgently.
It felt like he was being hunted down.
They still didn't even understand the origins of those fragmented memories.
But...
In the face of the anticipated crisis, they truly needed to race against time.
Jie Fuqi's eyes also became firm.
"Good luck, I will persuade Nursery Rhyme to tell the truth as soon as possible."
And Ye Yao was temporarily unaware of all this.
