The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

Chapter 107 Stop pretending, I’m showing off my cards!

Jiang Chuan's screwdriver seemed to pierce the air, whistling as it stabbed towards Li Yixue's fair and upright neck.

The attack came too suddenly and was too fast, but Li Yi was, after all, an Awakened One with considerable skill in swordsmanship. At the critical moment, she took a step back and narrowly avoided the weapon in Jiang Chuan's hand.

Jiang Chuan missed his attack, but his movements did not slow down at all.

He was holding a screwdriver in his right hand, but suddenly he let go, and the screwdriver fell freely into his left hand, heading straight for Li Yi's abdomen! Li Yi didn't dodge but instead attacked, immediately slapping Jiang Chuan's arm to knock the screwdriver away, and then striking Jiang Chuan's chest with her palm. But this did not stop Jiang Chuan's next attack, and the two of them actually started fighting back and forth!

This scene made Yue Wen's eyes widen in disbelief.

"Jiang Chuan! Are you crazy!?"

"stop it now!"

However, Jiang Chuan seemed completely deaf to Yue Wen's voice at this moment, and he launched a series of deadly attacks on Li Yi with extremely ruthless actions!

If Li Yi hadn't been so agile, she would probably be lying in a pool of blood by now!

"Li Yi! Jiang Chuan is not in good condition, retreat immediately!"

But Li Yi seemed to have really gotten into the fight. Like Jiang Chuan, she seemed to ignore Yue Wen's words and continued to fight Jiang Chuan. The two fought faster and faster, their screwdrivers clashing frequently, making a clanging sound. However, they were evenly matched and neither could hurt the other.

Several dozen seconds later, Li Yi seemed to come to her senses and seized an opportunity to escape.

Jiang Chuan stood there expressionless under the moonlight, his face utterly calm.

He turned to look at Zhang Bowen, nodded, and said in a cold tone:
"Please leave here immediately, Mr. Zhang."

"Your identity has been exposed."

Upon hearing this, Yue Wen gritted his teeth.

It seems that Jiang Chuan has been taken control of by Zhang Bowen!

At this moment, Zhang Bowen was stunned for a moment, then asked:

"Exposed?"

"How were you exposed? When did they start watching me?"

"How many of you are here?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Once Zhang Bowen finds out that there are still people lying in ambush, he will most likely use the children still alive in the room as leverage, and then things will become uncontrollable!
Their mission will most likely fail, and will likely result in even greater losses!
Yue Wen gritted his teeth, wanting to find an opportunity to kill Zhang Bowen directly, but in the scope, Zhang Bowen was still holding the girl and didn't let go.

At this distance, with Yue Wen's sniping skills, he could accurately hit the head.

However, the problem is that the gun he brought today is no ordinary weapon, in order to ensure that Zhang Bowen can be taken down with a single shot.

I'm afraid that while killing Zhang Bowen, they'll also knock that girl's arm off!
Now that Jiang Chuan is also under control, he can't afford to make any rash moves.

But at that moment, Jiang Chuan spoke up: "The person who's coming..."

Upon hearing these three words, Lin Ci held his breath, while Ai Zhe and Liang Cheng in the distance widened their eyes and their hearts leaped into their throats.

Yue Wen's mind went blank for a moment. Things happened too fast and too quickly, and it seemed that everything was out of control. In such a short time, he couldn't think of any way to handle the situation properly!

It seemed as if the Sword of Damocles was hanging over Jiang Chuan's head, about to fall after he finished speaking!

"The person who's coming..."

"Just the two of us."

“My colleague has already left and will report to her superiors soon, but it will take at least an hour for backup to arrive. You have plenty of time to evacuate.”

Hearing this, Yue Wen was stunned.

Two? Jiang Chuan said there were two?
He quickly realized that Jiang Chuan was not actually under control.
Not only Yue Wen, but the others also suddenly realized what was happening.

At the same time, Li Yi's calm voice came through:

Jiang Chuan is alright.

"He's acting."

Hearing this, they felt much more at ease, but Yue Wen still asked to confirm, "How are you so sure? You didn't communicate at all, how could you confirm this?"

Li Yi's voice rang in his ears: "If Jiang Chuan had gone all out just now, I wouldn't have had time to react."

"We've sparred before, there's no doubt about that."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ci and the others suddenly realized what was going on.

Indeed, they had witnessed Jiang Chuan's speed and power when he unleashed his full strength within the Bronze Man Formation. If Jiang Chuan had gone all out just now, even Li Yi, without being on guard, would likely not have been able to react to that sudden sneak attack.

But with Jiang Chuan's murderous aura and ruthless attack... is there really no doubt that Li Yi will be able to dodge it?
Liang Cheng still remembers that on the first day of the first phase of training, Jiang Chuan was taken to the medical station by Coach Cao Zhiqiang, looking half-dead...

But how did it become so strong now?

I've been left far behind! It's terrifying to even think about!
If those infiltrated surveillance team members were to drug Jiang Chuan now, he could probably wipe them all out by himself.

Yue Wen didn't know them well enough, and was somewhat stunned at this moment.

Have these two fought before?
Those deadly, heart-stopping clashes were all under control.
Just how far have these children grown up?

No wonder Li Yi wouldn't listen to what he was saying and fought Jiang Chuan for quite a while before retreating...

Is this because she's cooperating with Jiang Chuan in an act?

The chemistry between these two is truly exceptional.

However, after a moment of surprise, Yue Wen quickly came to his senses.

The situation is changing rapidly, and he doesn't have time to think about these things.

Do you know why?

Why did Jiang Chuan do this?

"What did Zhang Bowen just do? Is that girl in danger?"

Li Yi answered quickly: "I don't know."

Yue Wen was silent for a moment, then spoke:
"Cooperate with Jiang Chuan's actions and act according to circumstances."

"Jiang Chuan, can you hear me? Whatever you're planning to do, find a chance to give us some hints."

……

Jiang Chuan could, of course, hear Li Yi and Yue Wen's conversation.

He remained expressionless, but his heart was beating extremely fast.

At this moment, Jiang Chuan pretended to be under control, maintaining a calm demeanor on the surface, afraid of revealing his true intentions.

It had a bit of the feel of an underground worker infiltrating a secret service, which Jiang Chuan found quite exciting.

Fortunately, I had seen quite a few people who had been controlled by Zhao Tianyu with drugs, and I could imitate this chaotic state to a great extent.

However, when Yue Wen told him to find an opportunity to give him a hint, Jiang Chuan felt that it would be very difficult.

If you are being controlled, you should try to remain still so as not to arouse suspicion.

At this moment, Zhang Bowen repeated what he had just said to Jiang Chuan and Li Yi:
"Come in with me."

Jiang Chuan breathed a sigh of relief when he realized Jiang Chuan didn't doubt himself.

But when he heard that he had to go inside with him, he still felt some resistance.

However, he wasn't too worried, after all... the other party's mental influence had no effect on him.

Moreover, looking at Zhang Bowen's physical condition, Jiang Chuan felt that he was not a threat.

So Jiang Chuan maintained an extremely calm, even wooden, demeanor as he followed Zhang Bowen into the villa.

The villa was pitch black inside.

Zhang Bowen didn't mention anything about repairing the circuit; he simply calmly turned on his phone's flashlight.

He shone his light on Jiang Chuan and asked:
"what your name?"

Jiang Chuan answered without hesitation, "Shen Jing."

Zhang Bowen immediately asked again, "What is your birth date and time?"

As a fortune teller, it was only natural for him to ask such a question. Jiang Chuan calmly recited Jiang Chuan's birth date and time.

Zhang Bowen didn't doubt Jiang Chuan; after all, in his eyes, Jiang Chuan wouldn't lie to him. At this moment, the light in his hand no longer shone on Jiang Chuan, but instead he carried the girl to the table, put down his phone, and picked up an antique-looking box from the table.

The box looks exquisite; you can tell at a glance that it must have cost a lot of money.

Zhang Bowen opened the box, and Jiang Chuan saw that it was full of copper coins, hanging tokens, calligraphy brushes, and the like.

Judging from this, is he going to set off a divination?
Jiang Chuan guessed that Zhang Bowen wanted to use his divination to judge the chances of his escape.
But Zhang Bowen never expected that he wasn't controlled. He had just given his name and birth date on his own, and his abilities as a fortune teller were rendered useless.

But Jiang Chuan was also worried about being exposed, since he lacked understanding of the methods of "fortune tellers". In that case, it would be better not to let him do the divination.

He thought for a moment about how to say it, and then began:
"I think you should hurry up and leave."

"The faster you go, the longer it will take to catch up."

"But I must warn you, it's impossible to completely escape capture."

To fit the chaotic character, Jiang Chuan deliberately added this last sentence to make his statement seem plausible.

Upon hearing Jiang Chuan's words, Zhang Bowen smiled dismissively.

He looked at Jiang Chuan and said with extreme smugness:
"It doesn't matter."

"Because after half an hour, they won't chase me anymore, they'll chase you instead."

He paused, then asked in return:
"Since you've already set your sights on me, you must know about my past life memories, right?"

Jiang Chuan nodded calmly, though he seemed puzzled by his statement.

"Yes, your past life memories are of a fortune teller."

"You can seize the karma of others."

Zhang Bowen nodded, readily admitting it.

Then, he said nonchalantly:
"Not only can I seize cause and effect, I can also transfer cause and effect."

"You will replace me as the target to be arrested."

"And I will still live my life in a carefree and leisurely manner."

“Memories of a past life…hmm, they are truly a wonderful thing.”

Jiang Chuan was also surprised when he heard this.

This villain can shift the blame? Looks like I was wrong earlier…

He had no intention of running away, and he didn't take out those things to cast a divination.

Even though he was surprised, Jiang Chuan was not worried about his safety at all.

Since the name and birth date are both fake, they definitely won't match me.

So he simply nodded calmly and said without any resistance, "Okay."

……

Everyone could hear the conversation between Jiang Chuan and Zhang Bowen.

Upon hearing this, Lin Ci's deeply moved voice rang in their ears:

"Jiang Chuan's talents are truly diverse..."

Everyone present had experienced the Zhao Tianyu incident and witnessed those who were being controlled.

Listening to Jiang Chuan's words, even though he knew Jiang Chuan was acting, he still couldn't help but feel dazed.

Zhang Bowen, of course, couldn't tell the difference between genuine and fake acting.

At this moment, Zhang Bowen finally put down the girl he was holding, as he was about to begin preparing to shift the cause and effect.

Jiang Chuan watched him put the girl down, knowing that he was about to achieve his goal and wouldn't have to put on an act anymore.

But before revealing his hand, he needs to try to extract as much other information as possible:

"If you're going to shift the blame onto me, you should tell me something that only you know."

"That way the police won't suspect my identity."

Zhang Bowen nodded, quite satisfied with Jiang Chuan's approach of considering things from his perspective.

However, he still did not answer Jiang Chuan's question, but only said:
"The shift in causality does not require logic."

"Once this cause and effect is applied to you, you will naturally understand what to do."

"The influence of mental power won't last forever, but once the causal transfer is complete..."

"To the world, you are the one who actually implements it."

He looked at Jiang Chuan and smiled contemptuously:
"What's the use of being good at fighting? In the end, won't they still die for me?"

"I thought sending just the two of you was going to be some tough challenge."

"So weak-willed... yet you dare to come at me?"

Hearing what he said, Jiang Chuan gritted his teeth and thought to himself, "You just wait."

But at the same time, he was also somewhat surprised.

No need to look at the logic?

Indeed... to make a mother forget her own child, to achieve such a miraculous effect, it seems that no logic is needed.

No wonder he's so arrogant and doesn't restrain his behavior at all.

Why didn't he shift the cause and effect beforehand? Why did he have to use himself?
It seems that such an extreme approach must still have some other limitations.

At this moment, Zhang Bowen picked up the brush, which was covered in vermilion ink, and said:
"come here."

"Take off your clothes."

Based on Zhang Bowen's explanation, Jiang Chuan knew in his heart that no matter how reasonable his question was, the other party would not answer it.

After all, cause and effect can be shifted, and even if one is a scapegoat, there is no need to know anything at all.

So he also felt it was time to lay his cards on the table.

He took off his clothes as he walked toward him.

He also asked, "The light is dim, can you see clearly?"

Zhang Bowen said, "I can draw it well even with my eyes closed, so hurry up and take it off!"

Jiang Chuan then asked, "Can you see clearly?"

At this moment, Yue Wencai suddenly realized what was happening and immediately replied, "I can't see it!"

Jiang Chuan sighed helplessly, "Fine."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Bowen naturally realized that something was amiss.

He frowned instantly and looked at Jiang Chuan:

"Stand there!"

"do not come!"

He immediately put down his calligraphy brush, grabbed the short knife on the table, and picked up his cell phone from the table with his other hand, shining the flashlight beam at Jiang Chuan again.

But just as he shone the flashlight back at the spot where Jiang Chuan had just been, his eyes widened in panic.

He was just there a moment ago, where did he go?!

The room was pitch black, and the range illuminated by his phone's flashlight was limited.

Zhang Bowen held a short knife in one hand for self-defense, while quickly pointing his phone away in the other hand, panicking.

At that moment, Zhang Bowen suddenly shuddered.

He felt a chill in his throat as an extremely cold dagger was pressed against his Adam's apple.

A mocking voice, sending chills down his spine, came from very close to his ear—

"Tell me, is being able to fight useful?"
