Chapter 19, Let's get off the bus together.
Qi Te decisively clicked the link and entered the live stream room.
The video camera was pointed at the tunnel exit, where vehicles were constantly driving out, and the wind was very loud.
The anchor shouted at the top of his lungs, "I heard that some so-called prophetic goddess predicted that the Meiling Tunnel would explode soon. I want to see if this so-called goddess is right or wrong."
"Family members, today we're going to expose some fakes on site! Whether she's a real prophet or a fake goddess, we'll see if this tunnel blows up today..."
The streamer's tone was full of banter and jokes, and most of the comments were also comments from people who enjoyed watching the drama unfold.
Vehicles continued to drive out of the exit, and about half a minute later, a large black SUV drove out of the tunnel.
The anchor excitedly exclaimed, "They're here, everyone! It's the Bureau of Dissidents!"
The SUV is very large, with three thick black bars on the front – those are intelligent crash barriers. Above it is a prominent logo, a gold shield-shaped pattern with three striking English abbreviations – FEB, the emblem of the Federal Bureau of Supernatural Abilities.
Not one, but three.
"That's impressive! Awesome! Everyone, it looks like..."
Before the anchor could finish speaking, the second SUV suddenly sped off like a wild horse towards the roadside.
"Holy crap!"
The anchor shouted, and the camera shook violently.
It's not hard to tell that this guy, who's only interested in watching the excitement and getting attention, is fleeing towards the mountainside.
'Bang'
The SUV crashed into the mountainside, and smoke was coming out of the exhaust pipe.
"What's going on?!"
The anchor, still in shock and panting, had barely finished speaking when the car door slammed open and a man in flames leaped out.
"Oh my god!"
"Ahhh~ Don't come any closer! Help! Help..."
The anchor screamed in terror, but it was too late.
A violent explosion rang out, and only a flash of fire remained on the screen...
....................
The live stream wasn't over yet, and the screen was flooded with comments.
Most people were asking if the streamer was still alive, while some commented that "if you don't do stupid things, you won't die," and there were all sorts of other comments.
Qi Te glanced at the time and frowned.
In the original timeline, the emergency traffic announcement for the Meiling Tunnel explosion occurred after 19:00 PM.
But the video that Ji Chenyu sent him was a clip from a live stream, and he clearly remembered that the Fireman exploded at 18:58.
But at 18:56, it's clearly earlier than expected!
Was it because of my intervention that the course of events was changed?
In addition, the Science Hotspot program team clearly contacted the Haicheng Investigation Bureau, so why did the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics dispatch the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics instead?
The Bureau of Investigation is responsible for criminal, terrorist, and territorial security cases, and the tunnel explosion should fall within its jurisdiction.
and many more!
That fire person.
The Federal Superpowers Administration, as the name suggests, is responsible for managing people with superpowers.
Superhuman criminals arrested by the Bureau of Investigation are sentenced by the courts according to the severity of the offense. All federal prisons release superpower-suppressing gas daily, preventing superhuman criminals from using their abilities.
Those who commit serious crimes will be handed over to the Bureau of Supernatural Affairs and fitted with a suppression collar. It is said that serious offenders may even have their supernatural abilities removed.
There are generally two ways to eliminate it: injecting special medication or performing surgery.
As an ordinary citizen, Qi Te wouldn't know about these more private matters; the information above was all heard from a well-connected blogger. Whether it's true or not is another matter.
But one thing is certain: the Bureau of Supernatural Affairs definitely has specific methods to deal with people with superpowers.
The explosion at the Meiling Tunnel was caused by the self-destruction of a fire-type ability user, which was extremely serious. The fire-type ability user was indeed under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Extraordinary Abilities, but he should have been handed over after the Bureau of Investigation's action team arrested him.
In conclusion, the most likely reason for the Bureau of Supernatural Affairs' deployment is that it must suppress the Fireman's supernatural abilities in the shortest possible time.
Working backward from this result, a terrible thought came to Zit's mind.
He's lost control!
Thinking of this, Qi Te subconsciously looked at Zheng Xinjian.
The train pulled into [Dongfangta Station], and the doors slowly opened.
Perhaps Jiang Luo's prediction had an effect, because half of the passengers chose to get off at the stop before Qingjiang Road.
However, many passengers unknowingly boarded this train that could potentially lead them to a turning point in their lives.
Amidst the bustling crowd, Zheng Xinjian's gaze was fixed on Qi Te, his eyes filled with anger and hatred bordering on madness.
Qi Te clearly sensed a strong killing intent, but at this moment, he did not care about Zheng Xinjian's condition.
Because, among the passengers who had just stepped into the carriage, there was a figure with a deep blue back.
The brain image of that person was almost identical to that of Zheng Xinjian.
At the bottom of the fourth ventricle, there was also a red spot the size of a grain of rice!
......................
The man, of medium build, was wearing a gray-brown work jacket, and instead of a baseball cap or a winter hat, he was wearing a safety helmet.
Jiang Luo misjudged the mysterious guest's blue shirt because the guest was carrying a large dark blue backpack.
Qi Te's gaze locked on the man, and through dynamic imaging, he could clearly see the man's current state.
Adrenaline surges, blood flow accelerates, and the amygdala in the brain becomes extremely active; the man's condition is worse than Zheng Xinjian's.
As the man turned around, Qi Te saw the words "Haicheng Metro" printed on his chest.
The other person turned out to be a subway employee!
Judging from the stains on his uniform, he should be a maintenance worker.
The man's nostrils flared, his breathing became rapid, and his face, with its uneven lines, changed from blank to impatient, occasionally twitching nervously.
The man held his phone to his ear, clearly on a call. The words spoken by the other person had greatly provoked him.
Zit noticed that whenever the man took a deep breath, the red spot inside his skull would swell slightly, albeit very faintly.
An earth-elemental ability user working as a subway maintenance worker is a good fit for their profession. If the person is indeed an earth-elemental user, their level is definitely not high.
Could it be that when that red spot expands to a certain extent, it will cause a sudden surge in the user's ability level?!
Qi Te's mind was racing as he pondered what to do next.
With his abilities, he couldn't stop the other side at all.
"Thank you for earlier!"
Qi Te's thoughts were interrupted. He turned his head and saw that the speaker was the young man in military uniform.
"You are a soldier, you should have priority."
The young man gave a simple, honest smile: "I've been discharged. Um, you look kind of familiar. I was just about to ask you, do you have any brothers who served in the army?"
Qi Te's conjecture was confirmed once again; the soldier he had met once in the original timeline was also affected.
"No, maybe I just have an average face."
The young man said "Oh," and then looked at the paper bag of lunch boxes that Qi Te was carrying, which had the academy's name printed on it.
"Are you from Ocean University?"
Seeing him nod, the young man's eyes lit up and he said, "My girlfriend is also from Ocean University, in the medical school, a senior this year. What year are you in?"
"Sophomore"
The young man said sincerely, "I really envy you guys who are good at studying..."
As they were speaking, the loudspeaker announced that it was being broadcast.
"We are approaching Qingjiang Road Station. Passengers who are getting off the train, please prepare accordingly."
Qi Te glanced at the time: 19:04.
按照原时间线，3号线停留四分钟后启动，脱轨事故发生在19：10至19：11之间。
"I've arrived, classmate. See you next time..."
The young man, who was already standing by the door, moved his luggage forward as he spoke, making it easier to get off the bus.
He was only halfway through his sentence when Qi Te grabbed his wrist.
"What's your name?"
The young man paused for a moment, then replied, "Zhang Xiaodao."
Qi Te stepped forward and whispered, "Brother Zhang, someone's following me. Could you lend me a hand after I get out of the car?"
The young man raised his thick eyebrows, about to ask a question, when he saw Qi Te walk straight toward an uncle carrying a blue backpack.
"Arrived at Qingjiang Road Station, next stop..."
With a beeping sound, the car door slid open.
Zhang Xiaodao, who was standing at the door, was pushed and shoved by the passengers and had to get off the bus. The other passengers who got off the bus also walked out of the carriage one after another, and a few people filed back onto the bus.
During this time, Qi Te walked behind the man and, taking advantage of his focus on making a phone call, suddenly wrapped his arms around his waist and hugged him tightly.
Faced with the choice of getting off or not getting off, he chose to get off together with everyone else!
.......................
Caught off guard, the man was pushed and pulled out of the train door by Qi Te, and fell onto the platform.
Backpacks, cell phones, hats—all scattered about.
Zhang Xiaodao was startled, but reacted quickly, taking a step forward and delivering a knee strike.
The man, who tried to get up, was held down by Zhang Xiaodao and roared in fury.
"I have no money, no money, no money!"
Zhang Xiaodao: ? ! !
For some reason, he felt an inexplicable fondness for the student from the university. So, when the student said he was being followed and needed help, he waited on the platform for a while.
However, this uncle doesn't seem like a robber. And listening to what the other party is saying, why does the student seem more like the robber?
Wouldn't that make me an accomplice?!
Just as Zhang Xiaodao was about to let go of the uncle, Qi Te quickly stopped him, saying, "No!"
"Don't let him go, it'll cause a huge problem..."
Before the word "matter" could be finished, the Qi Te man flew out and crashed heavily onto the GG sign next to him.
That mad dog did indeed follow us!
