Chapter 40 Total Annihilation
Faced with this sudden change, Attorney Lin and the two nurses were stunned.
The butler immediately pressed the call button on his chest to summon the bodyguards.
"No matter who you are, please don't hurt my husband and Dr. Nie. We're open to discussing how much money you want."
Qi Te ignored the butler, stared at Nie Zhifeng, and said sternly, "Transfer the old man's consciousness out of my brain!"
Upon hearing this, the butler looked bewildered and confused.
The young man's tone was exactly the same as the master's. Most importantly, the other party was the vessel chosen by Doctor Nie. How could he possibly know about the master's body-changing plan in advance?
He even knew the details of the will he had prepared in advance, as well as the details of Attorney Lin.
The butler's CPU was practically burning out, but Nie Zhifeng, with his arms twisted behind his back, scoffed, "Naive!"
"Stop talking nonsense, do as he says." Cao Yingchong directly broke Nie Zhifeng's left wrist.
"Hmph~ Hmph hahaha"
Nie Zhifeng's expression showed no sign of pain, as if it wasn't his wrist that was broken.
"Since you came prepared, you should have some understanding of my abilities. Why do you still think that controlling my body means you can fight me?"
As soon as the words were spoken, a clear voice, like the song of a nightingale, rang out.
It wasn't a whistle, but a specially made mouth flute that Nie Zhifeng held under his tongue.
"Killed everyone except me."
Several nurses and housekeepers, their eyes glazed over, rushed forward like puppets being manipulated.
They were all superhumans; one was a speed-type female nurse, whose figure blurred.
Attorney Lin, who was holding a stack of documents and standing there stunned, hadn't even had time to react before a syringe was inserted into her neck.
The nurse tackled Attorney Lin to the ground, pulled out the needle, and frantically stabbed him. Blood gushed from Attorney Lin's neck, and he died without even uttering a cry of pain.
At the same time, a female nurse with the fire element spontaneously combusted and rushed towards Cao Yingchong.
Cao Yingchong raised his foot and kicked "Fire Girl" away, only to be met with a heavy punch in the face.
The butler, Ah Zhong, dressed in a suit with graying temples, was actually a C-level strength-type ability user. With a full-force attack, he caused Cao Yingchong's nose to bleed profusely and his brain to buzz.
A nurse with speed-based superpowers rushed forward and grabbed Zite tightly, while another nurse pulled out the IV tube and strangled him from behind.
Nie Zhifeng seized the opportunity and turned to deliver an elbow strike. Qiao Yi instinctively used Instant Flash to dodge the attack.
At the same time, even more intense fighting sounds came from downstairs.
With the main gate tightly shut, Ji Chenyu intended to jump through a window, but instead bumped into a dozen bodyguards who had been summoned and arrived at the scene.
Even the lowest-ranking bodyguards hired by wealthy and powerful families are at least level D.
Ji Chenyu is a D-level speed-type character. He usually only delivers takeout and has never practiced martial arts. He was no match for Ji Chenyu and was quickly subdued.
Everything happened very suddenly. In less than half a minute, the situation went from favorable to completely suppressed.
..................
While being held down by three nurses, Zit fought back with all his might, digging his hands into the eye sockets of one of the nurses, blood flowing down his fingertips.
But the nurse had completely lost consciousness and felt no pain, yet she still held the IV tubing tightly.
The extremely resilient tube tightened further with each pull, becoming so tight that it embedded itself deeply into the skin of Zit's neck.
He could no longer breathe, his eyeballs bulged out, and his entire face turned from red to blue, quickly approaching purple.
Cao Ying impulsively used her speed to maneuver around the large room, finally finding an opportunity to kill the butler, Ah Zhong, with a single blow.
The other nurse, who was fighting him, had her carotid artery severed by the wind blades. Despite the spurting blood, the two continued to charge at Cao Ying, disregarding their own lives.
He only managed to take a few steps before collapsing face down on the ground.
Cao Yingchong was about to rush to Qi Te's rescue when hurried footsteps approached, and more than a dozen bodyguards ran upstairs.
"Class monitor!"
Joey gasped and flashed behind Cao Yingchong at the critical moment, shielding him from the bullets.
Seeing Qiao Yi lying on her back with a bullet in her forehead, Cao Yingchong's mind went blank for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, a burly bodyguard threw Ji Chenyu's body to the ground like trash.
Just minutes ago, the "bitch" was arguing with Joey, but now her limbs were bent, like a puppet with broken limbs, her empty eyes wide open, lifeless.
"Bastard, bastard!"
Cao Yingchong roared in near collapse, recklessly pushing his supernatural abilities to their limits.
'Bang, bang, bang'
The air cannons formed by the compression and release of air continuously exploded.
Several bodyguards were blown to pieces, their bodies flying everywhere. The bodyguards who escaped the bombardment rushed towards Cao Ying.
Qi Te's consciousness grew increasingly blurred, and before he completely succumbed to darkness, he sensed a thought...
........................
As darkness receded, a familiar sense of drowsiness returned.
"Holy crap, you're finally awake! You scared the hell out of me."
When Qi Te opened his eyes, he saw Ji Chenyu's two- or four-inch face.
Holy crap!
Ji Chenyu exclaimed in surprise and quickly pushed away Qi Te, who had suddenly hugged him.
"I'm not gay, you better have some self-respect."
Qi Te shook his head and smiled bitterly, thinking to himself, 'You are indeed dead, because of me.'
Unlike the previous times, this time, Qi Te's feelings were extremely complicated.
Although I didn't witness Cao Yingchong's murder, given the situation at the time, the squad leader would certainly not have escaped death either.
What was originally an incident targeting him ended up with everyone being wiped out while trying to save him!
"Damn it, are you poisonous? I suddenly feel a sharp pain all over my body!"
Qi Te composed himself and looked thoughtfully at Ji Chenyu.
This thing was writhing around in strange ways, like it had fleas on its body.
After the first regression, he noticed a significant change in Cao Yingchong's attitude towards him.
The class monitor used to make sarcastic and mocking remarks, not out of genuine hatred, but purely out of jealousy. But after the incident at the academy, the class monitor began to subconsciously approach him.
After more than a month, Qi Te figured out that the other party was an arrogant and pretentious person, and that his previous attacks on him were not out of genuine hatred, but purely out of jealousy.
Although they didn't say it, they both knew in their hearts that their relationship had changed from simply classmates to friends.
Qi Te had previously suspected that, apart from himself, no one else had any memory of what happened on the original timeline. However, those who had been in close contact with him would be subtly affected.
Ji Chenyu's reaction at this moment once again confirmed this speculation.
As he pondered, Qi Te pulled his phone out from under his pillow.
8:48
The second rewind of the subway incident occurred five minutes earlier than the first.
This time, the rewind time was brought forward by a full ten minutes.
Once you've confirmed this, download the Fulecai APP.
Give me your phone.
Ji Chenyu, looking completely bewildered, pulled out his phone and handed it over.
Qi Te's memory has always been pretty good. Those sets of numbers weren't long either. He made a series of moves and placed bets on the same number.
"Damn it, Tezi, did that Qin guy smash your head in?!"
"Don't make a sound."
After buying the lottery ticket at lightning speed, he dialed Sherlock's number.
Still no one answered.
Qi Te decisively abandoned the detective, his brows furrowed, his eyes closed, as he carefully reviewed the situation.
He had a vague intuition that his special ability must have some kind of limitation.
Based on the subway incident, it's clear that a retrospective analysis would accelerate the process. Furthermore, the possibility that there might be a limit to the number of retrospective attempts cannot be ruled out.
In short, he must break this deadlock perfectly, otherwise he might really die, or there might be unimaginable consequences.
How to solve this?
Nie Zhifeng was right; he was indeed too naive.
They believed that as long as they controlled the other party, they could threaten them into releasing their control over their consciousness.
But he was wrong, terribly wrong.
The other party had long since placed everyone in that manor under their control. The dozen or so bodyguards, the lowest-ranking being, were all superhuman. With their self-awareness locked away, they were practically painless killing machines.
Such a formation is comparable to a meat grinder; ordinary people would be no match for it unless a special operations team is deployed.
The Qian brothers messed up at the crucial moment; however, in hindsight, even if they had arrived at the manor in time, they would have only resulted in two more deaths.
Nie Zhifeng is a madman, a complete and utter madman, for daring to unleash a massacre in the Second District.
No, to be precise, it was the real mastermind who hid beneath Nie Zhifeng's skin and manipulated all the events.
As he lay dying, the telepathic abilities that he had just gained allowed him to sense the other person's thoughts.
The consciousness that controlled that body was not Nie Zhifeng himself.
Qi Te suddenly opened his eyes. He remembered where he had heard that name before.
........................
8:52, Haicheng Investigation Bureau, Counter-Terrorism Team Office.
Lin Jun, who had just finished a conference call, took off her glasses, rubbed her temples, and picked up her cup to buy a hot coffee from the vending machine when her phone suddenly vibrated.
"Is Officer Cao trying to buy me coffee again?"
Lin Jun said with a smile, but the smile on her face disappeared immediately after hearing Cao Tengfei's words.
"The problem is, murder cases fall under the jurisdiction of the Major Crimes Unit. If you and I get involved, Sherlock might..."
Cao Tengfei had obviously thought of this as well, and immediately said, "Let's report it later. Besides, that kid already called Inspector Xia, but no one answered. He had no choice but to ask for our help."
"Us?" Lin Jun raised an eyebrow and said, "I also left him my business card, but he didn't call me."
"Just tell me, are you going to help or not?"
Lin Jun hesitated for two seconds, then decisively put down her cup.
See you at the monitoring center.
