Chapter 59: Why Is It Already Dark?

“Huh? But, Bai Yu, you’re injured. Don’t worry, my ability won’t cause any problems.”

“I’m not worried about your ability, Keke. It’s just that my injuries are minor. I’ll take care of them myself in a bit.”

“Alright.”

Of course, what Su Keke didn’t know was that Bai Yu was deliberately refusing treatment.

After all, she had finally gotten herself injured.

She planned to take them back and intentionally show them to Loweia.

When Loweia asked about them, Bai Yu would pretend she hadn’t noticed them until then, acting like she’d just realized, and then tell Loweia it was nothing.

This way, she might subtly increase the pressure on Loweia.

Currently, Loweia was forced to stay home and recuperate properly.

Bai Yu, however, had gone out and come back injured, and Loweia could only watch, unable to help her at all.

Based on Bai Yu’s observations of Loweia during this time, Loweia would definitely feel guilty deep down for not being able to help Bai Yu.

This subtle guilt would also increase Loweia’s pressure, making the eventual outburst even more effective.

So, Bai Yu naturally refused Su Keke’s help.

If her injuries were gone, how could she show them to Loweia later?

“Since the problem is solved, I’ll take you to Qianxun’s side. She might have some results by now too.”

Seeing Bai Yu nod, Su Keke stepped forward, grabbed the collar of the Star Eclipse Society member Bai Yu had knocked out, and dragged him back in the direction they had come from.

There was no need to treat Star Eclipse Society members kindly.

If you found one, executing them on the spot was perfectly acceptable.

After all, these people were the scum of humanity.

Though human, they stood on the side of the Abnormal Entities, helping them harm their own kind.

As normal humans, there was naturally no need to show them any mercy.

By the time Bai Yu followed Su Keke to Jiang Qianxun’s location, she seemed to have finished up.

“Qianxun, how did the interrogation go?”

Bai Yu looked curiously at the Star Eclipse Society members lying on the ground, unconscious.

Could someone tell her what exactly had happened?

It was probably Jiang Qianxun using her ability to do something.

Unfortunately, Bai Yu didn’t know the specifics of Jiang Qianxun’s ability.

“I got some answers, but they’re all the most peripheral members, so they don’t know much.”

Jiang Qianxun pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose, a look of regret on her face.

“They just received orders to mass-produce low-level Abnormal Entities at this base and then systematically release them throughout the East District to cause interference and divert the Management Bureau’s attention.

As for the ultimate goal behind the Star Eclipse Society expending so much effort to create chaos and attract the Bureau’s attention…

These outer members aren’t qualified to know.”

“Tch, so they’re just a bunch of grunts. I thought we’d caught a big fish.”

Hearing this, Su Keke pouted, looking thoroughly unimpressed.

She couldn’t muster any enthusiasm for this result.

They’d made a special trip out here but couldn’t find any useful information.

As expected, they needed to capture a few core members of the Star Eclipse Society.

However, those core members were usually very well hidden.

Rooting them out wouldn’t be easy at all.

“So, what now? Keep searching here, or head back directly?”

Su Keke asked. Jiang Qianxun turned her gaze to Bai Yu.

“Bai Yu, you found some information earlier, right? Did you bring it out?”

“Yes, I did.”

Bai Yu took out the several documents and that map from inside her clothes, handing them all over to Jiang Qianxun.

Come to think of it, she hadn’t read the contents of the documents yet.

She had no idea what was written in them.

Jiang Qianxun took the map and glanced at it.

Noticing the markings on it, the young woman frowned slightly.

When she opened the documents and her eyes scanned the contents written on them, her frown deepened severely.

Judging by her expression, the documents were probably quite serious?

“Minister, what’s written in those documents?”

Bai Yu couldn’t help but ask curiously.

The terrifying scene she had foreseen earlier might be related to the contents of these documents.

“I’ll send these documents to the Analysis Department for parsing and study. If the contents are true, the Star Eclipse Society might be plotting a plan capable of destroying Red Maple City.”

Huh?

Destroying Red Maple City?

Besides making Loweia regain her memories and obey their orders to destroy Red Maple City, could there be another method?

But since Jiang Qianxun said she’d send them to the Analysis Department for study, Bai Yu should find out what the Star Eclipse Society was really planning once that was done.

As long as it didn’t involve Loweia, it was fine.

As for other incidents, the Management Bureau would find a way to stop them.

So, Bai Yu might have performed a great service?

Also, regarding the scene Bai Yu had foreseen, she was now hesitating whether to mention it.

After all, according to that vision, the Central Urban District suffered severe destruction, and both Su Keke and Jiang Qianxun seemed to be quite seriously injured.

Of course, Bai Yu wouldn’t mention the part about Loweia.

After a moment’s hesitation, Bai Yu decided to omit the part about Loweia and describe the other parts she had seen.

“Also, Minister, actually, when I obtained these documents, my Precognition ability suddenly activated. It showed me a partial scene.”

“What scene?”

Bai Yu briefly described the scene she had witnessed.

As she spoke, not only Jiang Qianxun’s expression grew serious, but even Su Keke’s face became grave.

“I understand, Bai Yu. Your information is very important. Then, without delay, let’s return to the Management Bureau now.”

“What about this?”

Su Keke lifted the Star Eclipse Society member Bai Yu had knocked out.

Because Bai Yu had hit him a bit too hard, he still showed no signs of waking up.

“Take him back. We’ll interrogate him later.”

—

After returning to the Management Bureau, Su Keke delivered the still-unconscious Star Eclipse Society member to the cells within the Bureau.

Jiang Qianxun took the important documents to the Analysis Department for research and analysis.

As for Bai Yu, as the one who discovered the key evidence and having experienced the precognitive vision, she was immediately pulled into another department for a detailed statement as soon as she returned.

They mainly wanted her to describe the process of finding the documents and detail the scene she had foreseen.

After finishing her statement, it still wasn’t over.

Bai Yu was then pulled into a small meeting.

Only after the meeting ended could she finally clock out.

However, after leaving the Management Bureau, Bai Yu noticed the sky looked a bit off.

It was still early when they got back.

Why was it already dark when she was leaving?

Oh no.

Bai Yu hurriedly pulled out her phone.

Sure enough, Loweia had sent her several messages at different times.

[Loweia: Bai Yu, it’s getting dark. When are you coming back?]

[Loweia: Bai Yu, I don’t want to order takeout. I want to wait for you to come home so we can eat together.]

[Loweia: Bai Yu… are you still on a mission, so you can’t reply to messages?]

[Loweia: Bai Yu… did something unexpected happen during the mission? I’m so worried…]

[Loweia: Sorry, Bai Yu… did I send too many messages, making you annoyed… I… I’ll be more careful in the future…]

Looking at the messages Loweia had sent, Bai Yu inwardly groaned.

Not replying for so long…

Who knew what that girl was thinking in her heart.

If she started thinking the wrong things, that would be bad.

Thinking this, Bai Yu quickly typed out a message and sent it.

[Bai Yu: Sorry, Wei Ya, I was just at the Bureau working overtime on a report and couldn’t check my phone. I’m finally off work now. I’ll be right back!]

After sending it, Bai Yu scanned a Shared Bicycle and sped off toward the apartment.
