Chapter 007: Confrontation Across Space

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

However, after the disaster, that "voice" vanished without a trace. He had told others about this matter, but they merely regarded Shen Yan's words as the delusions of a child following a natural calamity. In the end, only he himself remained convinced that the voice truly existed

The dining area was suddenly empty, and the few waiters were trembling as they hid behind the bar. Shen Yan stepped forward and slammed the table forcefully

This society emphasizes that "I do not need to outrun the bear, but I need to outrun you." When someone takes the lead, the rest immediately follow, fleeing in a frantic rush.

You do not struggle; I rather think that ending this adventure in such a manner is somewhat bland and flavorless

The individuals lying in the hall are certainly not truly deceased; they will awaken after a few minutes and subsequently forget everything that occurred during those five minutes

I trust you? Are you foolish? We have hardly exchanged three sentences, so where does your trust come from? Even if you have a built-in system or a personal elder, establishing a trust relationship shouldn't be so cheap, right?

Moments later, a smartphone in an unlocked state was presented before him. The leader of the black-clad men chuckled softly at the phone, as if speaking to himself. "Little tricks won't work, because I have far more people at my disposal than you do." There was no response from the other side, and the leader casually tossed the phone to the ground, crushing it underfoot.

As for those gunmen in black, they have already been abandoned. Before those "corpses" revive, boundless great power descends upon these individuals. Their bodies will be crushed and twisted between the giant's palms, broken and ultimately ground into dust. Throughout this process, these individuals, who endure the most brutal torment in the world, cannot utter a single sound. When the process concludes, there will be no bloodstains or remnants; all traces of them will be gently erased from this world.

Is it a level of trust like "I need to borrow five yuan, I will pay you back tomorrow"? Or is it a level of trust like "Sister-in-law, I will take good care of it, you can go with peace of mind"? Or is it true trust like "You charge forward with the explosives, I will cover you from behind"?

We will discuss the matters at hand later. I want the police to come; do you think we can handle dozens of people and guns with just the two of us?

This is also the reason why Shen Yan is so obsessed with things like "superpowers"

However, Shen Yan's response was simply "I believe!" consisting of just two straightforward words

Let us go. Those who have fired their weapons will continue to hold the first floor, while the remaining individuals will search upwards by floor.

Most of the men in black are completely unaware of this, with only the leader who took the elevator to the upper floors being fully aware. However, when the fruits of labor are within reach, it is only natural to begin reducing the number of people involved in sharing them

"Hmph, carefully examine everyone's face, leaving no one out," he commanded loudly

Since the entire process was fraught with tension but ultimately safe, a little bit of fun at the end is quite interesting

Do you realize you are putting yourself in great danger? What will you do if you turn back? Don't think that wearing a helmet will prevent the police from catching you

... ...

Trust is indeed a very weighty term

So how should one respond

Not only did Shen Yan's family suffer, but that immense disaster also claimed the lives of countless individuals in an instant. Strangely, at that time, only a few years old, Shen Yan mysteriously survived. He not only evaded the most perilous moment of the disaster's outbreak but also managed to survive alone in the ruins for forty-eight hours until he encountered the first group of soldiers who entered the disaster area for rescue.

... ...

There are other ways

If it were Chen Xiaoyu, she would probably first pretend to be a pitiful little kitten and ask Shen Yan, "Do you trust me?" If Shen Yan dared to nod, she would immediately say, "Then put the property deed in my name!" In Chen Xiaoyu's view, trust is a kind of trick, and she, Chen Xiaoyu, is the master of tricks.

... ...

Chief, someone has reported to the police, and they are expected to arrive in fifteen minutes

With a loud bang, those who realized that something serious was about to happen rushed recklessly towards the hallway and the elevator. It wasn't originally this exaggerated, but coincidentally, a chubby member of the tour group recognized Shen Yan's identity from his clothes. Connecting this to Shen Yan's previous series of extreme statements, the chubby man concocted a horrifying conclusion in his mind—could it be that he was so provoked that he wanted to take revenge on society? "Regardless of whether others believe it or not, he certainly does," the chubby man thought as he grabbed his bag and ran away.

Uh ~ '' That sound of a painful sigh, `` Why are you so impulsive? You are just like that! ''

Yes

Everyone believes that this child is both fortunate and unfortunate, but only Shen Yan knows that he completely relied on the guidance of a mysterious voice within his heart to escape that natural disaster, which has nothing to do with luck

"Wait a moment." The thought that appeared in Shen Yan's mind startled him. That voice seemed to want to speak out to stop him, but it was already too late. Shen Yan burst into the restaurant, pushing aside the approaching waiter, and then kicked up a leg, flipping over the dining table by the door

This is the consequence of causing trouble in the drawing room

Then distrust? If there is no trust, how can everyone continue to engage in awkward small talk? Acting this way will cause you to lose your golden opportunity

"I didn't expect you to remember, and so clearly," she said with a hint of happiness. There was no need for Shen Yan to explain further; the "she" who was one with Shen Yan had already seen the scene that Shen Yan was recalling at that moment. This included the natural disaster that occurred in an instant, as well as the painful experiences that the two of them shared over the course of two days and two nights.

Some people frantically pressed the elevator buttons, while others violently struck the locked safety door—under the collective touch of many, the elevator miraculously exited maintenance mode, and the safety door instantly turned green—reality altered by the figures in black was rapidly being corrected by the world amidst a multitude of genuine conflicts! This was precisely what Shen Yan desired

Moments later, gunfire erupted outside, and in the blink of an eye, the hall was filled with bodies! The leader, with a blank expression, stepped over the bodies of these individuals as he passed. He did not believe that Shen Yan would be among them, but there must be some "little tricks" left by Shen Yan among them.

He placed the open phone in the hood of the fat man's coat to scout downstairs; he called the police himself to draw external attention; he forced the waiter to wear his trench coat and helmet and leave separately; ... Shen Yan believed this was the limit of what he could manage ... After all, he only had a replica gun in his hand

"Interesting, struggle a bit more," the leader said with a smile. As the information gathered to him, the leader also "yielded to the circumstances" and sent all the people in his hands according to Shen Yan's wishes, ultimately going alone to the top-level restaurant. The fate of these mercenaries was already sealed—people die for wealth, birds die for food, and he could not be blamed for that

After that, she fell into a deep sleep, having exhausted her last ounce of strength, and was only recently reactivated by new energy. She did not expect that fifteen years had passed, believing that Shen Yan had forgotten those memories, but he had not.

He resolutely made his way to the top floor. He believed that Shen Yan was waiting for him there

Someone is giving him instructions. The leader of the black-clad men stood in the control room, overseeing the situation, and he realized as soon as the change occurred. Someone was launching an attack targeting them as "outsiders." With a casual wave of his hand towards the large number of passengers coming down the elevator, the leader commanded, "Fire!"

The suspected target has appeared in the emergency passage, currently on the 84th floor

What is trust

What are you still dawdling for? Hurry up and call the police! Do you have any professional standards? Within half an hour, I want the television station, the police department, and the city government to gather at the foot of this building! By the way, I also demand the release of the leaders of our Bird Silk family: Albanis, Tistandanis, Spicy Chicken Silk, Braised Potato Silk, and Green Pepper Dried Tofu Silk... Hurry up and make the call! Standards, pay attention to standards! You are bringing shame to this unscrupulous restaurant!

As the target, Shen Yan was thoroughly investigated by the leader of the black-clad men before taking action. Like the vast majority of people in the mapping room, Shen Yan was just an ordinary person. In contrast, the leader of the black-clad men, even without his mysterious abilities, possessed countless years of accumulated experience and well-trained skills. He did not believe that these were something Shen Yan could contend with

Shen Yan's character is that of an orphan—this is because he experienced a sudden natural disaster, during which his parents unfortunately perished.

Shen Yan did not realize that he had thought the same way a few minutes ago when facing the tightly closed emergency exit door. ... But as long as "she" slightly helped to open a door, more inspiration immediately burst forth in Shen Yan's mind. ... "She" joyfully observed all of this in the depths of her thoughts, without reminding Shen Yan

Let's talk about it later

A target wearing a helmet has appeared in the corridor on the top floor

Therefore, when the familiar voice reappeared, Shen Yan chose to believe without any doubt—if that voice truly intended to harm him, it could have simply ignored him fifteen years ago, without the need to complicate matters so much

Shen Yan's potential is actually much higher than he himself believes. In fact, many people possess extraordinary talents, but they are trapped in a life of mediocrity. They are born quietly and die quietly, never realizing that they could be anything but ordinary. You might have perfect pitch, you might be very sensitive to colors, you might excel in management, you might be very compassionate and well-suited to be a volunteer or a veterinarian, ... but the harsh reality will cruelly erase most of your possibilities, leaving you with no choice but to become a programmer ... or even one who works with Delphi.

Then let's do as I say. First, we need to create chaos, allowing more people to assault the opponent's layout. You must remember one thing: you are different from those in black—those individuals are outsiders, while you are a native of the drawing room! The disturbances they cause will eventually be smoothed over by the world and will be settled by someone. You, however, are different; the changes you initiate will not be corrected by the world, and you can leverage the power of this world itself, which is your greatest advantage.

"What nonsense, let's just survive today first." At this moment, Shen Yan was still not acting normally. Facing the countless gazes directed at him, he pulled out a realistic toy gun used for cosplay from his pocket and swung it forcefully. "All of you, get the hell out of here! I'm going to rob this unscrupulous restaurant today! Anyone who doesn't want to die, get lost!"

The sound of clinking, the perch and side dishes take flight, disks and wine glasses scattered all over the ground

I see. Shen Yan gave up on continuing to struggle with that door and turned to walk towards the scenic restaurant, avoiding the cameras along the way and putting his helmet back on.
