Chapter 38 Forgiveness
Words cannot describe the horror in Jiang Yirong's heart.
Although it seems highly likely that a "special force" was involved in the "May 22 Incident".
To be more precise, it is the participation of "unknown life forms" that are beyond human comprehension.
Compared to those legendary monsters that are half-humanoid, non-humanoid, or even formless.
A living, breathing middle-aged human man appeared in the fog and possessed an extremely strong control over the white mist...
The shock of this event is no less than that of unknown life forms... or even the existence of the legendary "aliens".
He, or rather, it, He... since it is in human form.
So, could it also have human thoughts, human emotions... and even human desires?
If the "May 22 Incident" was indeed created by a human organization or individual using advanced technology...
So what exactly does that person want to do? And what does he want to gain?
Amidst Jiang Yirong's chaotic thoughts, Yang Qing's voice rang out again.
"Chief, I have brought over those officers who passed the preliminary inspection."
The woman named Yang Qing pursed her lips and said softly.
Following the direction she pointed, Jiang Yirong, Liang Congjian, and Section Chief Fu all turned their heads.
Across the street, several figures appeared, fully encased in protective suits.
"Because further testing is needed, and to prevent the possibility of any unknown bacteria or viruses, we can only communicate via walkie-talkie for the time being."
"However, their protective suits have been fitted with clear wireless earpieces on the same channel, so there's no need to worry about call quality."
As she spoke, Yang Qing handed over several walkie-talkies and distributed them to the group.
Not only Jiang Yirong, but also Liang Congjian and Section Chief Fu picked one up at random.
Yang Qing has one left.
It seemed that the walkie-talkie also had a relay paging function. She skillfully adjusted it, and soon, several men's voices came through the walkie-talkie.
"Section Chief, Director Liang..."
The officers' energetic yet slightly hesitant voices came through the walkie-talkie.
Liang Congjian gave the order without hesitation:
"This lady next to me is Comrade Jiang Yirong, the director of the Minjiang Security Bureau. Please give a detailed report on what you saw in that white fog during the 'May 22 Incident'."
"yes--"
The voice from inside the protective suit had just started when it suddenly paused.
"you……"
Just as Jiang Yirong was about to speak, she heard a distinct gasp coming from the walkie-talkie.
"……he……"
"...It's him!"
What kind of reaction is that?!
"...What 'he'?!"
Jiang Yirong was stunned for a moment.
But she immediately realized what was happening.
Because right in front of them—whether it was the police officers in their protective suits, the long lines of people being checked, or even the many more experts, inspectors, and police officers across the street…
Everyone on the other side had already raised their heads slightly, looking towards the area behind and above them.
But all of them wore the same look of astonishment and shock!
That expression, that demeanor...
Jiang Yirong's pupils contracted slightly, and she turned around without hesitation.
then……
She then saw the figure of a man standing in the sky, even higher than the top of the residential building!
That is……
Soaring through the air?!
This legendary event suddenly appeared before her eyes, leaving Jiang Yirong's mind blank for a moment.
Not only her, but Yang Qing, Liang Congjian, Section Chief Fu and others also looked up and were speechless when they saw the man standing in the sky.
After a moment of silence and blankness, a chaotic cacophony erupted from the long line of people opposite.
"Yes, that's the person!"
"Officer, that's him in the white fog... He's the one who rescued us all!"
"He was floating there..."
"He can fly!"
"...Are they gods? Do gods really exist in this world?!"
The noise of voices was deafening and chaotic.
While most of the people in the long queue were still arguing, a small number of them, mainly middle-aged and elderly teachers, had already knelt down in front of the middle-aged man.
The remaining students, who were at an age where they feared nothing, did not kneel down. Instead, they watched the middle-aged man gesturing wildly and chattering away, spouting endless nonsense. Their faces were flushed or pale with excitement.
As for the inspectors and researchers at the scene, they all had different reactions when they saw the man standing with his feet in mid-air.
Although a few researchers were quickly excited by this incredible scene, their eyes shining with wonder, and they quickly grabbed whatever equipment they had to take pictures and videos of him, most researchers just stood there dumbfounded, behaving just like the mortals in myths and legends who witnessed miracles.
The only group that could still barely maintain order at the scene was the police under the Minjiang General Police Bureau.
Faced with the man standing in mid-air like a miracle, many police officers were stunned for a moment, and while they were sweating profusely, they had already put their hands on their waists.
At this moment, some hot-blooded young police officers, seeing this scene, acted like cats with their fur standing on end, immediately drawing their guns and aiming them at the middle-aged man in the sky—
not good!
Jiang Yirong caught a glimpse of the young police officers' movements out of the corner of her eye, and a dangerous and terrifying premonition immediately arose in her mind!
Although she couldn't explain where this premonition came from, she just had a vague feeling...
If we were to draw our guns on that middle-aged man...
It must be something even more dangerous than jumping off a 5,000-meter cliff!
It's like facing an abyss!
The words were on the tip of his tongue, eager to burst forth.
But... before he could say it, a faint energy flowed between heaven and earth, as if it were the wrath of an unknown will, but that wrath turned into a natural backlash from the human body!
And so... the moment those hot-blooded, impulsive young police officers drew their guns and aimed them at the middle-aged man in the sky, their faces contorted in extreme pain, their bodies twisted and went limp, and the hand that was tightly gripping the gun grip loosened, causing the gun to fall to the ground.
"Thump...thump thump thump!"
The crisp sound of the pistol hitting the ground echoed continuously.
But the nameless punishment suffered by those who drew their guns seems far from over.
As the guns fell to the ground, their bodies tensed abruptly, revealing expressions of extreme pain. One half of their bodies turned an unusual bright red, while the other half appeared a horribly pale white, as if the blood in their bodies no longer obeyed the commands of their subconscious minds, but instead followed the will of the unknown, determined to strangle them to death on the spot!
Even the police officers who hadn't drawn their guns but had just placed their hands on their waists now showed expressions of utter despair, as if they too wanted to experience the punishment that was just one step behind!
Just then, the man in mid-air finally made a move.
His body gradually descended from mid-air.
However, the man's gaze did not fall on the suffering police officers. Instead, he slightly raised his head, looked up at the sky, and uttered his first words since appearing before the crowd.
"I forgive this sin."
The sound was neither loud nor soft, yet inexplicably everyone, including those wearing protective suits or those in isolation rooms, heard it clearly.
The sound was also strangely peculiar. Although it couldn't be described as melodious, it left a lasting and unforgettable impression.
Finally, there was another mysterious aspect to that sound.
That is……
It didn't sound like a conversation with the police officers.
...but rather, it is a communication and connection with some kind of unknowing will between heaven and earth!
These words naturally came out.
Therefore, the law follows.
The officers' convulsions stopped.
They were on the verge of death, but now they have miraculously come back to life.
As for the police officers who had received the second-degree punishment, they were now completely unaffected, as if the scene just now was merely an illusion.
But everyone knows... that was definitely not an illusion.
As a result, no one dared to draw their weapons and point them at the middle-aged man anymore.
Everyone just stared blankly at him, watching him fall step by step from mid-air to the ground.
Everyone lowered their voices and even slowed their breathing.
In the silence, the middle-aged man faced Jiang Yirong and the others, and smiled.
"As for why this white fog appeared and what principles lie behind it—there's no need to ask others; I'll answer those questions myself…Director Jiang Yirong."
The words "Director Jiang Yirong" brought some consciousness back to Jiang Yirong's mind.
Looking at the middle-aged man before her, she tried her best to suppress the overwhelming panic and trembling in her body and heart, and tried to keep her voice calm as she respectfully asked him:
"Excuse me... who are you...?"
"Changqing Sect, Lin Yu."
