Law Enforcer's Handbook

Chapter 519 January 1th (End)
"It doesn't matter, anyway, I have no evidence."

Facing Song Lan's proactive confession, Lu Xiang patted him on the shoulder comfortingly.

What's more, under the theory of time regression, this incident has not really happened today.

Compared with Song Lan's confession, more and more details made Lu Xiang gradually guess the reason for going back in time, and based on all the details she got so far, she filled in a complete character image.

A man who enjoys the highest level of secrecy in the coalition government.

In addition, it has the power to temporarily dispatch six-star rescuers, and can even skip the plenary meeting of the council and decide to use weapons of mass destruction against the seventeenth district.

People with such power are rare even in the council, and it must be one of the builders who first created the coalition government.

A name ready to come out...

Thinking of this, Lu Xiang suddenly froze.

She has already obtained enough information, and according to these clues, she should be able to pinpoint a certain important person in the council, but the name that was supposed to be called suddenly seems to have disappeared into the fog, no matter what she has done. No matter how the known information is screened, no character can be found that can match the number.

You can't think of a person who doesn't exist.

But what is even more paradoxical is that when her mind was blank, her rationality kept telling her that there must be such a big figure in the coalition government, or, at least, such a figure "used to" exist.

The blankness in my mind seemed to explain why the person who came to District [-] this time was Qi He.

Because it is impossible for a non-existent person to visit the seventeenth district under the escort of the Council staff.

"Where did you go after that?"

After hard thinking and meditation to no avail, Lu Xiang could only throw the doubts in her heart to Song Lan. At the same time, she realized that Song Lan's ability might not just allow time to go back to before the incident happened.

"Downtown."

More and more details emerged in Song Lan's mind, which changed Song Lan's relaxed state, and he realized what happened in the last "today".

At the moment of returning to the hover car, the premonition seemed to overlap with reality.

Through the transparent car door, he seemed to see the mechanized troops entering the seventeenth district continuously, and the illusory air units kept rushing past them. In a very short time, the seventeenth district became a battlefield.

Facing this mechanized army was an overwhelming swarm of insects.

This is the first time that the Devourers have truly released all the units they have studied so far. A steady stream of "flying dragons" were hatched. They gathered together like a black cloud pressing down on the land, and they took it back within a moment. Air supremacy.

This mighty mechanized army failed to stop the continuous swarm of insects, and they were quickly defeated and assimilated.

These phantoms that seem to come from the past are filling every corner of the [-]th district at this moment, but this tragic war has not affected the vehicles and pedestrians on the street at this moment. They ignore the phantoms and continue to do what they are doing. , and even Lu Xiang, who was constantly changing the navigation route of the hover car beside him, seemed to know nothing about it.

Unknowingly, the hover car hovered in front of the tallest building in the downtown area.

Through the glass, Song Lan seemed to see an old man sitting in the building.

He calmly watched the mechanical troops that were constantly routing outside, and did not back down even at the end of the road.

"Flying Dragon" surged up.

When he was about to be overwhelmed by the insect swarm, the old man stabbed himself in the heart with his right thumb.

The next moment, spiritual energy formed a storm that kept spreading, and the old man was at the center of the storm, witnessing the whole process of the storm flattening the city.

Then, whether it was an illusion or not, Song Lan felt that the old man was looking at him who was sitting in the hover car at the moment.

For a moment, thousands of thoughts flooded Song Lan's mind.

Could it be that in the last "today", when facing the city destroyed by the spiritual storm, he awakened a new ability and turned the time back to this morning?

Both timelines stand still here.

The psychic energy storm stopped spreading, but the rift in space continued.

When those cracks joined together and separated the whole world, what presented to Song Lan was darkness, and what illuminated this darkness were the starry sky and the Milky Way. Everything he had seen before was covered by the broken space. After being stripped away, only he and the old man were left in this unique space.

Then, he remembered the old man's name.

Longinus.

"Here is the world after the future."

Song Lan heard her own voice.

He seems to have experienced the process of world fragmentation and reorganization, and this process is not unfamiliar to him, it seems that he has experienced it many times before.

The strange things that happened today are connected in series with the scene at this moment.

No, he didn't suddenly awaken new abilities when the psionic storm came, but the corresponding "side effects" of using the abilities.

Because he heard the next conversation between himself and Longinus.

"Here is my farewell present for you, Longinus."

This time, Longinus did not respond.

His consciousness seemed to be frozen here by time.

"When different timelines are connected, the established destiny will change... However, the consciousness that is about to dissipate is destined not to be brought to the new world."

After the black hole swallowed everything, the whole world began the process of reorganization and repair.

First is the vast universe, and then, the torn and broken space is like a jigsaw puzzle, returning to the same time node, and the "flying dragons" all over the sky turned into phantoms. Quickly, even the sun drew a clear track in the sky at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Along with it, Longinus also turned into a phantom.

Together with the "flying dragons" all over the sky, he turned into nothingness in the process of regressing.

As the sun went down, darkness shrouded the city again.

This was the eve of dawn, and most of the champions who stayed up late fell into a deep sleep.

At this time, in an apartment in District [-], Lu Xiang, who was still awake, unlocked the screen of her phone, and a tricky alarm clock advertisement appeared in front of her eyes.

……

"Hey, hello! Song Lan, are you alright?"

The strength on the shoulder brought Song Lan back to reality, and what caught his eyes was Lu Xiang's concerned eyes.

"I am fine."

Song Lan shook her head.

At this moment, he understood the premonitions that kept popping up in his mind.

This is the "side effect" of the timeline change, because theoretically speaking, he, who has never experienced the "future", cannot know exactly what happened in the deleted timeline.

Before, there was no Lu Xiang by his side to help him find every remnant of "hunch".

But for him in the past, maybe that didn't matter.

As long as he reaches the new timeline, his peaceful life can continue as before.

Eliminate the future that is not conducive to him, and fate will always be on his side.

This is the inevitable result.

At this moment, Song Lan's restless mood because of the strange "premonition" finally calmed down.

"Longinus."

He told Lu Xiang the results of his investigation, "This is the name of that big man."

"Longinus?"

This answer made Lu Xiang frowned. She looked at Song Lan blankly, "I've never heard of this name before."
