I'm Not Shouldering This Blame [BL]

Ch. 19

     Jian Hua wondered. He felt that the wording was net-based, like a live game commentary, or like a forum to introduce the rules. In anyways, very unlike official military information.

     Zhang YaoJin left this information, so it seems to be a comprehensive explanation, but Jian Hua thinks that there’s more hidden behind the report.

     For example, using his experience to analyze, his first entry into the Abandoned World is the elevator in Universal Studios.

     The second overlap is not the clinic but the whole Huai City.

     If the third time was his conscious entry into the Abandoned World, why are the overlap points so vast. Usually, shouldn’t it only involve his home? Jian Hua intends to destroy the evidence so his subconscious won’t let other people interfere with his actions.
     

     According to the written information, if he wants to live a safe life, he just has to pray that he doesn’t get unlucky to be at the overlap point.

     But Jian Hua was vexed at being found so it seems that his ability can open the way to that exciting world——the power is unknown, the range is unknown, the consequences are unknown!

     This series of unknowns made him feel faint.

     He just went out to watch a movie, and he comes back with his whole life refreshed——the world is so unreliable, how is he going to live?

——

     Major Zhang YaoJin slept in the car for four hours. When he got a call from Haicheng, still with eyes closed and a deep weariness in his voice: “Nn……the missing two girls from Universal Studios, you got a clue？”

     His confused brain cannot catch the point, and the one on the phone had to slow down his tone：“Yes. We found a floating body near Huai City’s riverside bridge. Judging by the clothes on the diseased, it’s one of the two missing girls. We still have to wait for the autopsy report  until this afternoon。”

     Zhang YaoJin face became fierce, pulling at his hair and forcing himself to wake up.
     He didn’t say anything and silently hang up the phone.

     The Pearl Hotel explosion has no casualties. The young college student who died on the street, according to the investigation, had a significant change of temperament in recent times. His various actions show that he’s a man who’s ready to join the game.

     Or perhaps, a person living in a book?

     But the couple in the Universal Studios incident and the two missing girls are the same even with their lifespan. They’re innocent and got involved, maybe dying while not knowing how it happened.

     What’s more frightening is, it’s going to happen again soon. The crisis from the Abandoned World, the threat is not just to ordinary lives. The ability holders who are trapped in that world also have to face life and death choices——kill the monster to survive an attack, or be buried in the monster’s mouth.
    
      “Major, the report to headquarters was detained.”

     Zhang YaoJin’s men carefully said: “There’s news that said that he didn’t even finish the first page of the report when scoldings for Major came pouring out about sending you to the mental hospital.”

     Touching a cigarette, Zhang YaoJin chuckled: “I’m not afraid of that.”

     The situation cannot be controlled by humans, and if the disasters happen as scheduled, the withheld report will be forwarded to the head of the board as soon as possible. Who will dare say a word？

     “What about Jian Hua?”
     The car has Zhang YaoJin and an old man，a former comrade-in-arms.

Someone who doesn’t usually laugh but now everyone’s face can’t squeeze out a smile. Zhang YaoJin was safe from that house in the morning, and they’re really relieved. They didn’t ask about the negotiation process between Major Zhang and Jian Hua.

     “Difficult!” Zhang YaoJin smoked, and lowered the window, letting the morning air wake him up.

     The window is thick with fog, he can’t see anything on both sides of the highway.

     Zhang YaoJin recalls the person he met a few hours ago, casually saying: “If this guy was a kidnapper or a suicide-bomber who’s ready to jump, he’s definitely the biggest headache for a negotiator.”

     Not listening to persuasion or someone else’s words, he just listened。

     “Opinionated, high vigilance, probably paranoid……” Zhang YaoJin listed one by one, sighed and said, “You can’t even tell him the truth. The facts are so ridiculous that it’ll likely cause the opposite effect.”
     “What the Major said, he believed it?”
     “No, he just couldn’t find a better explanation to explain what happened to him.”

     Zhang YaoJin blew out smoke through his nose and pressed both hands to his eyes, laughing at himself: “He’s not to blame. If it were me, I wouldn’t even believe it.”
     The driver slammed on the brakes. Everyone in the car subconsciously stabilized themselves and quickly touched their waist.

     “What happened?”
     The driver’s hand shook on the steering wheel while looking at the slowly rising shadows in the mist ahead. He asked with a stiff body: “What’s the way to test for potential ability holders? If we’re all in a car, will we……unknowingly pass through an overlap point?”

     Zhang YaoJin stared with round eyes.
     A large shadow is in the mist, less than 20 meters from the car and across the highway which disappeared into the thick white fog.

     The people in the car held their breath, pulling their guns and listening carefully to the noise outside.
     “*pant*……*pant*……”
     It’s like breathing or like something leaking.
     Soon, this strange sound was gone too and all around is still a vast white fog。

     Zhang YaoJin and his men patiently waited for five minutes, beads of sweat formed on their foreheads and their highly tightened muscles and nerves are tested, before finally being sure that the monster has left.

     “What the, isn’t it a year before monsters show up?”
     It’s November, and the chat group records say that it will happen next spring.

     Zhang YaoJin refused to study this. He pressed the driver: “Lao Zhang, tell me what you just saw?”
     “I saw the shadows in the mist, and I just stepped on the brakes……”
     “Not right! That’s what you say, but when we entered the Abandoned World, how did you feel when you were driving?”

     The driver shook his head. The fog is so big, driving in high-speed has been sealed. He can see some cars at first, but after entering this highway, they’re the only ones in it. Even though he drives very seriously and has the right road conditions with no bumps, people’s eyes always have to blink. God knows when they encountered a problem.
     “Keep moving forward!” Zhang YaoJin patted him on the shoulder.

     The men did not dare sit and looked out the window of the car. The jeep started again, moving forward at a 20kph tortoise speed. They didn’t see any more suspicious shadows. At high speed, they identified their own entry into the Abandoned World——
     Vehicles are waiting at long queue at the toll booth station, but they can’t see anyone.
     Zhang YaoJin leans heavily on the seat, his head began to feel a faint pain.
     “Major, it’s a good thing, at least we know what’s going on in this damn world, isn’t it?”
     For those who became involved, Zhang YaoJin’s men are still inquisitive.
     “You brought food?” Major Zhang squinted.
     “……”
