Weird Live Broadcast: I Can Deduce Endlessly

Chapter 125: Have You Found Peace? (1)

"I'm going to sleep."

Chen Zeyu muttered to himself, turned off his bedside lamp, pulled the covers over, and went to sleep.

Gu Yi took out the handwritten note he found in Section C.

This note seemed to suggest that the history books documenting the extinct civilizations were the ashes of a civilization.

[If a human weighs 3.5 kilograms, how much would a civilization weigh?]

The ashes of a human weigh about 3-4 kilograms.

The ashes of a civilization weigh approximately 4-5 kilograms.

There were also several keywords in the books of Section B, such as "civilization" and "disperse." The clues there might be closer to the truth. If he could get in, he would surely find out more.

"Gu Yi is zoning out again!"

"Zoning out? Why don't you just die?"

"Commit suicide, be destroyed!"

Barrage appeared in front of Gu Yi once again.

"Boring. It's always the same lines."

Gu Yi shook his head, too lazy to use any psychological suggestions, and laid down to sleep.

...

Inside the Real world.

Late at night.

Blondie had a bandage wrapped around his leg. He was causing a ruckus in the hospital room, claiming he would sue the Strategy Group for abusive punishment.

The delinquent's father also rushed to the Strategy Group overnight, demanding compensation and seemingly not willing to let it go. After all, Blondie was indeed shot in the leg by Ah Jian.

At this time, adventurers in the weird world had all drifted into sleep.

Qu Kangping was also preparing to leave work. As he passed the reception, he heard the delinquent's father's shouting.

"What's going on?"

"Well... a suspect's father wants to sue us," the agent in charge of the interrogation replied. "Brother Jian lost his temper and shot the suspect in the leg without any provocation."

"That doesn't sound like something he would do. Where is he now?"

"I'm not quite sure."

"Looking at the father's age, his child could only be in high school at most, right?"

"Uh... Yes."

"Who is the suspect? Which high school is he from?"

"Well..."

"Not willing to say? Hmph, you're really loyal."

Qu Kangping rolled his eyes, turned around to his office, and began flipping through some documents.

"If I remember correctly... Indeed, it's this name..."

The documents recorded the high schools where weird incidents had occurred, and Xi Shan High School was prominently listed. Qu Kangping muttered an expletive under his breath, a foreboding sense of unease filling him.

"Old Zhai."

"Here!"

Old Zhai was about to head to his dormitory to sleep, but he stopped in his tracks when he heard Qu Kangping calling.

"Did Ah Jian go to Xi Shan High School?"

"Um..."

"Don't think that if you hide it from me, I won't know," Qu Kangping said through gritted teeth. "Xi Shan High School is our prime suspect location. Any weird force there must be eradicated, including his sister."

"Leader, we are still unsure if it's because of his sister..."

"Enough. Get the guns ready, bring extra salt canisters, and I'll lead the team personally. You've grown some wings now, haven't you? Keeping secrets from me?"

"Team Leader, Qianqian's condition is very stable. As long as Ah Jian soothes her, everything will be..."

"Forget it. You, stay back. Watch Gu Yi's dungeon clearance video a hundred times, and then you'll understand what's going on. You, you, and you, grab your gear and come with me immediately."

Old Zhai pursed his lips and went to the projection room as instructed by Qu Kangping to watch Gu Yi's dungeon clearance video.

Upon seeing how Gu Yi reversed public opinion through a suicide act, Old Zhai instantly understood.

Ah Jian's sister, Zhang Qian, also died due to cyberbullying – she was slandered for cheating on an exam and, in her rage, took her own life to prove her innocence.

After Zhang Qian's suicide, she became a bound spirit in the school under the influence of weird forces. Because Ah Jian frequently visited to console his sister, Zhang Qian never caused any accidents and the situation remained stable.

Out of consideration for Ah Jian's feelings, the Team Leader had turned a blind eye to the matter.

But...

Now that this incident has occurred, the Leader couldn't turn a blind eye any longer.

...

Xi Shan High School.

Ah Jian stood alone in front of the classroom door of Senior Year Classroom no.34.

His hand, placed on the door handle, trembled uncontrollably.

"Brother... Brother, have you come to see me?"

Ah Jian turned his head, and there was his sister, Zhang Qian, standing in the school corridor. She hovered slightly above the ground, her head covered in blood, and a branch pierced her right eyeball.

"It's me."

"You haven't visited me in such a long time. I've been so lonely."

"I'm sorry. I've had too many matters to handle recently." Ah Jian walked up to her, his hands behind his back. "Why aren't you in the classroom?"

Zhang Qian took a step back, giving a bitter smile and shook her head, "Brother, what are you hiding behind your back? Is it a salt canister?"

"It seems you're no longer a bound spirit. According to the rules... I must exterminate you. Rather than letting someone else interfere, it might as well be me."

Tears welled up in Ah Jian's eyes. He pulled out a gun from behind and aimed at Zhang Qian, pulling the trigger.

Bang!

The mercury bullet penetrated Zhang Qian's chest.

She wailed, her form flickering like a candle in the wind.

Ah Jian, tears streaming down his face, took out the salt canister, bit off its lid, and approached Zhang Qian.

Raising her head, she gave a sinister laugh and fled through the wall.

"Qianqian!"

Ah Jian yelled and dashed after her.

Bang!

He burst through the emergency exit.

Zhang Qian scampered down the stairwell.

Ah Jian threw the salt canister at her.

Boom!

A brilliant silver-white flame shot up, illuminating the entire hallway.

"Ah—how could you? Are you even my brother?"

Zhang Qian screamed shrilly.

Suddenly, Ah Jian's legs gave way, and he knelt, clutching his ears in pain.

The memory of his sister's tragic death flashed repeatedly before his eyes, making it impossible for him to focus. Shaking, he took out a bottle of spiritual energy drink from his pocket and gulped it down.

"Ugh—"

The drink was extremely bitter, and Ah Jian almost spat it out as soon as it touched his tongue.

Covering his mouth and summoning all his willpower, he forced the drink down. The hallucinations finally ceased. He looked out the window and saw his sister running towards the school's back door on the playground.

"Don't run!"

Ah Jian shouted and hastened his pursuit.

Zhang Qian was only a step away from the school's main gate when Ah Jian raised his gun and fired multiple shots.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Zhang Qian fell to the ground, her form flickering.

Ah Jian approached Zhang Qian and took out the last canister of salt from his pocket.

"Qianqian, I'm sorry, but this is... the rule."

Ah Jian opened the salt canister.

Suddenly, Ah Jian felt a chill on his back. Instinctively, he performed a side roll, taking cover behind a trash bin, as a flurry of gunshots echoed around him.

Turning his head, Ah Jian saw two fanatics walking towards him with guns drawn. They wore masks, and the forehead of each mask bore the logo of the "Weird World" channel.

"Kill him and take the evil spirit. If we wait for the agents to arrive, it'll be too late."

"Alright."

Not daring to engage in a gunfight with Ah Jian, the fanatics pulled out hand grenades from their pockets. After pulling the pins, they hurled them towards where Ah Jian was hiding.
