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

Chapter 108 I didn't expect it to turn out this way; actually, I didn't want it to be like this either.
"Tell me, is being able to fight useful?"

Zhang Bowen felt the chill in his throat, and his breathing became rapid.

“It works! It works!”

Jiang Chuan planned to ask some questions.

The police department only had information about a dozen victims, but it only took them three days to gather evidence and identify the perpetrators...

There are likely many more victims who have not yet been identified.

Those children were completely severed from cause and effect, forgotten by everyone, even their parents.

Now, perhaps the only one who knows that those children ever existed in this world is Zhang Bowen himself.

Jiang Chuan felt it was necessary to find out more about the situation.

This matter caused some inner conflict for Jiang Chuan.

On the one hand, he felt that it might not be a bad thing if those parents truly forgot they had a child. Because if they suddenly remembered they had a child, but that child was already dead, that would be far more cruel.

But on the other hand, if they do remember this one day... then they at least have the right to know the truth.

He asked Zhang Bowen:

"Where are those children whose karma you stole? How many have you abducted in total from the beginning until now?"

Zhang Bowen strained to tilt his head back, afraid his neck would touch Jiang Chuan's dagger, and stammered as he spoke:
"In the...basement!"

"The dead ones were... I threw them into the river, the ones that didn't die are all in the basement!"

"About thirty in total!"

Thirty-something?! Jiang Chuan's pupils contracted sharply.

As expected, the number of victims found by the police department was only a portion.

It's not even half!
Jiang Chuan glanced at the girl, whose face was full of surprise and who didn't know what to do, and asked:
Who is this girl?

Zhang Bowen: "She helped me take care of those who were still alive!"

“I only severed her causal link! I didn’t take it away! Those children… I… I need to find someone to help me take care of them…”

"Before seizing control of cause and effect... those children... must... must live..."

"I……"

"I'm telling the truth!"

Jiang Chuan was silent for a moment before saying, "Tell me the identities of those children who have already left."

Zhang Bowen didn't hesitate; he recited the names one by one...

A name and date of birth are required to seize the cause and effect.

After seizing control of cause and effect, all those causes and effects are applied to Zhang Bowen himself, so even if he wanted to forget, he simply couldn't.

Hearing these names one by one, Yue Wen and the others fell silent with serious expressions.

Behind each of these names is a vibrant life.

These children should have had their own lives, but they were abruptly cut short.

After reciting all the names, Zhang Bowen said:

"I told you everything!"

"That's all!"

"You can't kill me!"

Jiang Chuan asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why can't I kill you?"

Zhang Bowen was taken aback: "You're from the Public Security Bureau! I've already confessed!"

Jiang Chuan smiled and said:

"Who said I'm from the police department?"

"My mission is to take your dog's life."

As he spoke, the dagger had already pierced his neck.

Feeling the dagger pierce deeper and deeper, Zhang Bowen naturally wanted to dodge, but his strength was far inferior to Jiang Chuan's, and he dared not make any large movements. He was filled with terror and kept saying:
"I'm still useful!"

"No! I don't want to die!"

"I...I can help you!"

At that moment, Yue Wen's voice also came over:

"Jiangchuan."

"That's almost it."

Jiang Chuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

He could hear the anger in Yue Wen's voice, yet he still gave such an order.

“He has confessed, and you have him under control... so he is no longer a threat.”

"Our mission is to kill him, but that's in case we're worried he might retaliate."

"There may be other issues with the case, leaving one alive will make things easier to handle."

Zhang Bowen also felt that the dagger had stopped penetrating his neck, and he was somewhat relieved:
"I knew it……"

"I knew it!"

"I have too much karma to carry! I'm just lucky!"

"You can't kill me!"

"You can't kill me!"

Jiang Chuan suddenly remembered what Li Yu had said back then.

Their communications were, of course, all recorded.

He regretted not killing the guy cleanly and efficiently earlier.

But now, mission commander Yue Wen has given the order to stop...

What should I do?
Lin Ci, Ai Zhe, and the others did not expect things to turn out this way.

Deep down, they certainly wanted to kill him as soon as possible, but rationally they understood that Yue Wen's order was more rational and in line with the organization's interests.

Everyone was holding their breath, but had no way to vent it.

They arrived at the villa's entrance the moment Jiang Chuan began to overturn the table.

Aizhe glanced at the people around him and saw the expressions on their faces. He knew in his heart that this mission might be coming to an end just like that.

He gritted his teeth and gripped the bow tightly, but ultimately had no choice but to loosen his grip.

Li Yi also frowned deeply. Although she was usually calm and serene, she was full of chivalry and romance. At this moment, she was truly depressed and found it difficult to calm down.

The same applies to Lin Ci and Liang Cheng.

Then Yue Wen's urging voice came again: "Jiang Chuan, bring him out."

"Let's start wrapping things up." Jiang Chuan sighed and said, "Okay."

Everyone was helpless, but they understood that doing so was the most correct choice at present.

Zhang Bowen's trembling yet delighted voice rang out:

"A bloody disaster? Hahaha! I knew it!"

"I'll be fine!"

"I knew it! Heaven is looking out for me!"

"I am burdened with karma, how can you kill me!?"

His arrogant voice intensified the anger that was already rising in everyone's hearts... but they were helpless.

But at this moment...

Jiang Chuan's voice, filled with surprise and uncertainty, suddenly rang out:

"You still want to resist!?"

"Put down the knife!"

"I told you to put down the knife!"

Zhang Bowen's even more surprised and uncertain voice came over: "I...I didn't! Don't frame me!"

"I have already confessed!"

Jiang Chuan then said, "Then put down the knife and let's talk this out!"

Zhang Bowen was both shocked and furious: "I didn't pick it up at all!"

However, at that moment, the knife on the table flew up out of thin air and quickly burrowed into Zhang Bowen's hand.

Jiang Chuan had a slight smile on his lips, but his voice still betrayed a hint of panic:
"Put down the knife!"

"Surrender! Your resistance is futile! I've received orders that the kill mission has been cancelled!!"

"Your best option right now is to cooperate with our work..."

Zhang Bowen was terrified. He tried to throw the knife away, but he couldn't.

The dagger seemed glued to his hand, pressed tightly against the skin of his palm...

At that moment, Ai Zhe's eyes lit up, and he blurted out as if answering a question: "Jiang Chuan is in danger!"

"Go to the rescue!"

As Ai Zhe was speaking, Lin Ci had already begun to act. He stood in front of the door and kicked it, his body rapidly expanding as he kicked out.

boom!
The door was kicked open with tremendous force, and the door even cracked the concrete wall!
The group rushed through the gate.

By the time they rushed in, it was all over.

Under the light from the flashlight of Zhang Bowen's phone that had fallen to the ground, Jiang Chuan and Zhang Bowen stood very close together.

Between the two, there was a non-reflective dagger connecting them.

Jiang Chuan's dagger pierced Zhang Bowen's heart. Zhang Bowen looked at Jiang Chuan in horror, his face filled with extreme disbelief, as if he never expected such an ending.

Bright red blood gushed from the dagger, falling into the darkness under the flashlight beam, hitting the ground with a splashing sound.

Jiang Chuan drew his dagger.

Zhang Bowen had completely lost his strength and collapsed to the ground, his body limp.

At this moment, Jiang Chuan's slightly trembling voice came:
"The target put up a stubborn resistance and has now been confirmed dead."

Seeing this scene, everyone's previously suppressed emotions instantly felt relieved!

This guy deserves this retribution! What karma? You said he couldn't be killed?

In the end, didn't he still die at Jiang Chuan's hands?
Although we know that Yue Wen's judgment is correct, sometimes it is not necessary to do the most correct thing.

That's a good choice too.

Aizhe was somewhat excited. He wanted to say something, but then stopped himself and just grinned silently, a somewhat terrifying sight.

Yue Wen's voice then rang out: "Jiang Chuan, are you alright?"

Jiang Chuan hummed in agreement and said, "I'm fine."

Yue Wen continued, "The target has been brought to justice; mission complete."

"The next step is to wrap things up."

"The police will take care of the children's situation. They should arrive within an hour."

"..."

"Communication is still operational. Liang Cheng, you and Jiang Chuan, check the room for any other dangerous items before the police arrive."

"Aizhe, you are in charge of checking the electronic equipment in the villa, especially whether the surveillance cameras are still there. This will make our follow-up handling of the case easier."

Liang Cheng, Ai Zhe, and Jiang Chuan immediately responded, "Yes!"

After he finished speaking, Jiang Chuan suddenly understood.

It seems Brother Yue is also holding back some anger.

The system keeps sending reminders: "Communication is not interrupted," and "The surveillance camera may cause some disruption."

They had time to make their move before the police arrived.

Only an experienced person can do this; Brother Yue Wen's thinking is indeed meticulous.

Jiang Chuan felt that if Li Yu were here, he probably wouldn't have given the order to stop.

However, if Li Yu were here, I wouldn't need to go through all these fancy procedures.

Jiang Chuan took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

He was just about to use his mental energy to check if there were any other problems in the villa... when he heard a soft sobbing coming from inside the room.

He followed the sound of crying and saw the girl crouching in a corner, her face filled with astonishment and fear, her eyes extremely unfocused, as if she were in a state of utter confusion and bewilderment.

It seems that the cause and effect that Zhang Bowen severed has returned to him.

In that case, parents who have forgotten their children will soon remember all of this, right?

At that moment, Yue Wen's voice came from both the doorway and the communication channel:

"Li Yi, you're a girl, go and take care of her."

"This girl is yours until the police arrive."

Li Yi nodded and said, "Okay."

Jiang Chuan and Yue Wen exchanged a glance and nodded.

Yue Wen then looked at Ai Zhe: "Did you find any surveillance footage?"

Ai Zhe pointed to the ceiling, indicating that it was on the second floor of the villa.

Yue Wen nodded and said, "Let's go."
