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

Chapter 149 The Dust Settles Down: A Unique Fate

After more than a month of closed management, Qingshan is finally about to see the dawn of reopening.

As for why it is said to be "about to", it is because many finishing touches have not been completed.

At present, Tang Dynasty tombs are definitely not accessible to ordinary people.

The bodies in the forest need to be disposed of;

The archaeological team, which had been missing for almost a month, still hadn't been found;
In addition, there are the villagers in those two villages who are under Li Guo'er's control...

After Li Guo'er was dragged into a dream by Li Yu, the villagers completely stopped moving around and became like vegetable people. The resettlement and rescue of these people became another major problem.

Qingshan must remain under lockdown until these matters are resolved.

But ultimately, it's no longer necessary to maintain such a large range.

……

The temporary command center is being gradually disbanded.

All the command vehicles and supply vehicles were returned to the Ministry of War.

Meanwhile, the advanced equipment and instruments airlifted from headquarters, including mental field sensing devices, are being loaded onto trucks and prepared for transport back to the Qing City branch.

The headquarters technical team made it clear that those were all prototypes, and their power consumption and actual performance still needed improvement. Therefore, they only needed the data and did not need the physical items.

The staff at the organization were eager to return home, but the dismantling of this temporary command center was not progressing quickly.

On the one hand, there are a lot of documents here that need to be sorted and categorized.

One reason is that there is still follow-up work to be done.

On another note... because they finally relaxed, their efficiency also slowed down considerably.

Over the past month, my cooperation with colleagues from the Public Security Bureau and the Ministry of War has naturally fostered many friendships.

They were working and chatting at the same time, discussing the local delicacies of their hometowns and talking about getting together again for a good drink sometime in the future.

Jiang Chuan was in the same boat; he was like an outsider at this moment, unable to offer any help.

He was sitting on a rock, chatting with Fang Yi, who was squatting down smoking.

Fang Yi had changed his clothes; he was now wearing the uniform of the Qing City Supervisory Group. The bloodstains on his body had been wiped away, and his wounds were also covered under his clothes.

At this moment, they both took out their phones, and Fang Yi said:
"I'll scan you."

Jiang Chuan took out his phone, only to find that it wasn't turned on at all.

After turning on his phone, he opened WeChat, showed Fang Yi the QR code, and added him as a friend.

As Fang Yi made a note, he said, "Don't forget to come find me next time you go to Yanjing."

He paused for a moment as he spoke, then continued, "I don't know if I went back to Yanjing back then..."

Jiang Chuan raised his eyebrows and said, "I might not be able to get to Yanjing."

"As for you, you didn't even have a proper look around Qing City this time. You're leaving as soon as you've finished your mission?"

Fang Yi gave a wry smile: "What's there to shop around for?"

As he spoke, he pulled up a group on WeChat that read "[Fifth Working Group]" and showed it to Jiang Chuan.

[Jelly I Love Xizhilang: @Zhao Yun, after completing the Qing City mission, you don't need to return to Yanjing to report for duty; just go back to your original mission location for garrison duty.]

Jiang Chuan frowned upon seeing the message: "Not even a moment's rest?"

Fang Yi shook his head: "If you want to split yourself into two, why would you need to rest?"

"The next task is already on the agenda before the previous one is even finished."

"We also need to intersperse some work to support other cities and prefectures."

"Fortunately, it wasn't too strenuous."

Fang Yi's words were simple, but Jiang Chuan understood perfectly what it was like to be in an environment where one could face a life-or-death crisis at any moment.

But judging from Fang Yi's appearance, he seems to have gotten used to this kind of life.

Just as Fang Yi exited the group chat and put his phone away, Jiang Chuan accidentally saw other chat logs on the screen.

It was a message sent by Fang Yi to "Jelly I love Xizhilang".

There were only four incredibly brief words: "The boss is dead."

However, "I love Jelly" did not reply.

This silence, this feigned ease in front of outsiders...

Just by seeing those four words, Jiang Chuan could suddenly sense the deep sorrow in Fang Yi's heart.

When in a tense situation, the crisis may make people temporarily forget about these things, but once they have free time, those pains will resurface.

Perhaps the reason why "Jelly I Love Xizhilang" urged Fang Yi to continue the mission in the group was because he was afraid that Fang Yi was in too much pain?
At this moment, Cao Zhigang came over to greet him: "Fang Yi! Your car is ready!"

Fang Yi tossed aside his cigarette, stubbed it out, stood up, and said, "See you next time, Jiang Chuan."

"I hope it won't be too long before we meet again."

He said with some melancholy, "I'm afraid one of us will die."

Jiang Chuan laughed heartily: "I definitely won't die."

You really need to be careful.

Fang Yi gave a light snort and said with a smile, "See you next time!"

He waved casually at Jiang Chuan, grabbed the long gun wrapped in canvas, and walked towards the car.

Jiang Chuan felt that he had a hard time getting through the security check.

But then I thought, the organization must have already taken care of all of this.

He also said to Fang Yi's retreating figure, "See you next time!"

……

After Fang Yi left, Jiang Chuan looked at the more than forty missed call notification text messages and wondered what had happened to Shen Jing.
He opened WeChat and sent Shen Jing a message: [What's up, Jing-ge?]

Shen Jing replied quickly this time: 【You're still alive?】

Jiang Chuan: [What do you mean? Is the fortune teller starting to curse people? [Sweating]]

Shen Jing replied: 【When will you ever stop turning your phone off? I'm even thinking of calling the police!】

Jiang Chuan: [Why are you calling the police for no reason? What's wrong? Am I going to get into trouble again?]

Shen Jing: [A bloody disaster? Your divination this time indicates certain death! Quickly buy a tent and stay outside the hospital; timely treatment might save your life.]

Upon seeing these words, Jiang Chuan's fingers, which were eager to type, stopped.

A certain death trap? Has the accuracy of my divination returned?
what's going on?
If this divination is accurate, then I have truly broken the divination.

He tentatively typed: "What do you mean by a certain death situation? Double-check your calculations, are you sure you're not mistaken? I'm perfectly fine, don't scare me."

Shen Jing was silent for a few minutes, then sent an emoji.

Shen Jing: [It seems I really made a mistake; the divination shows everything is fine now...]

Shen Jing: [What's going on? How could this be wrong? This is the first time this has ever happened.]

Jiang Chuan: [Don't worry about it.]

Shen Jing: [I wouldn't mind. If you walk by the river often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet.]

Seeing Shen Jing's reply, Jiang Chuan felt that he had worried unnecessarily.

However, Jiang Chuan knew in his heart that Shen Jing's divination was actually correct.

The reason why the divination did not come true is because one has broken one's original destiny.

Is this why Xu Linlin said, "Your destiny is so strange"?

Is this the true nature of Li Guo'er's desire to possess him?
Jiang Chuan: [Shen Bansian, do you understand destiny?]

Shen Jing: [Destiny? You even know what destiny is?]

Jiang Chuan: [Tell me what you think.]

Shen Jing: [Destiny analysis is complex, but it is related to the birth date and time, the year pillar, and the interactions of the five elements (mutual generation, mutual restraint, transformation, clash, combination, and interaction) among the four pillars are key aspects of destiny analysis...]

Shen Jing is typing.

Jiang Chuan then raised another question.

Jiang Chuan: [Can one determine a person's destiny without their birth chart (Ba Zi)?]

Shen Jing: [I'm not sure about that. Maybe someone can? Actually, sometimes you can understand a person's destiny by observing them. For example, the "Ruling the World" destiny indicates a person who rises steadily in rank, enjoys immense wealth and power, and is incredibly successful. Even without looking at their birth chart, you can roughly guess their destiny.]

Jiang Chuan carefully read Shen Jing's words twice, and began to ponder them.

What did Princess Anle see through Zhong Huahua's eyes that led her to confirm my special destiny?

Jiang Chuan hadn't expected the answer.

He didn't understand these things, and even if he racked his brains, he couldn't figure out how Princess Anle made her judgment.

There are different schools of thought and algorithms for calculating one's destiny, and it's possible that what Shen Jing said and what An Le used are completely different.

But no matter what...

After all that had happened, Jiang Chuan had confirmed his suspicions.

My destiny does indeed have some unique aspects.

Afterwards, Jiang Chuan chatted with Shen Jingdong about other things, but the conversation ended abruptly after Jiang Chuan sent his last message.

As Shen Jing was typing away enthusiastically, he suddenly felt a chill.

He looked up and saw that Ms. Liu Yuyu's ruthless gaze was fixed on him through the small window of the back door. It was during physics class, and Ms. Liu Yuyu silently opened the back door and beckoned to Shen Jing with her finger.

She opened her mouth but didn't make a sound, but Shen Jing could see her lip movements very clearly.

"Come on, come out."

……

After talking with Shen Jing, he replied to Lu Ming and Cheng Shu's messages, telling them that he was fine.

Next, he opened the "Qingshi Elite" group, which had 99+ messages.

Seeing that he had been tagged in several messages, he finally stopped lurking.

Jiang Chuan: [I'm fine, it was just a small task.]

Jiang Chuan: [My phone was switched off just now.]

Tian Tian: [You finally showed up, you hunky guy! Today's going to be fun.]

Tian Tian: [Video]
Jiang Chuan opened the video, the camera moved, and he saw a familiar figure.

In fact, when he saw the video, he had already guessed that the protagonist would be Wu Zhen.

Wu Zhen challenged a boy he didn't recognize. Without needing an introduction, Jiang Chuan knew that the boy Wu Zhen was challenging was probably the number one player in Yanjing.

Wu Zhen really enjoys getting beaten up.

After watching the video of him being beaten up, Jiang Chuan returned to the group chat and saw several messages.

Lin Ci: [A small task? I heard the entire Green Mountain area is under lockdown.]

Ai Zhe: [I heard from the teachers here a couple of days ago that the reason Class 1 was allowed to come for the exchange and learning session ahead of schedule was because Qingshan had some problems.]

Chen Ming: [What exactly happened?]

Jiang Chuan: [Are you really alright? You're coming back tomorrow? Let's talk in detail when you get back.]

Liang Cheng: [I just received a notification that I'm going back on the 26th, which is the day after tomorrow.]

Song Xi: [Brother Chuan, my sister asked what kind of gift you want.]

Song Xi retracted a message.

Song Xi: [Brother Chuan, I want to ask what kind of gift you'd like.]

Tian Tian: [6.]

Jiang Chuan: [...No need to bring a gift.]

Li Yi: [Then I'll just buy it myself.]

Tang Songming: [I have prepared the gifts, which I will present to Brother Jiang upon my return.]

Jiang Chuan: [It's not a fan, is it?]

Tang Songming: [Brother Jiang, how did you know!?]
