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

Chapter 95: Am I just more talented?

Looking at the handwriting on the card, Jiang Chuan felt a strong sense of wicked amusement.

The card stated that this dagger was jointly crafted by the headquarters' technical team and the artisan team...

I don't know where the person who wrote this card came from, but this guy was definitely not a decent person.

He could even picture the sly smile on that guy's face as he wrote those three lines, right through the card.

But actually, this thing probably doesn't need any user manual.

A dagger... what else could he do?
Jiang Chuan looked at the dagger. It was completely black, and even when light shone on it, it did not reflect any light. The handle was ergonomically designed. However, it did not look like a deadly weapon at all. It looked like a work of art made by a master craftsman.

Jiang Chuan took the dagger out of the box, held it up, and examined it carefully under the light.

Under the light, it became clear that the plating on the dagger was not pure black, but rather a light brown, which made it look even more luxurious. It felt incredibly light when held, and even gave Jiang Chuan the illusion that his body was extending outwards.

He doesn't think he's ever liked anything.

Only now, holding it in his hand, did Jiang Chuan understand what it meant to be unable to put it down.

He stared for a long time before he came to his senses.

Chen Xingyang looked at the dagger in his hand and said seriously, "I have never seen such a perfect dagger."

"It is absolutely the best assassination tool."

"Its sharpness goes without saying, and it has also achieved perfection in various small details..."

"This dagger is simply unavailable for purchase, even at a high price."

"This near-perfect weapon is a work of art in itself."

"Believe that it will shine in your hands."

Jiang Chuan nodded, then said seriously:

“I like this gift very much.”

"I will continue to work hard."

Xu Chenggong smiled slightly and handed the metal box, which had turned completely silver-white, to Jiang Chuan.

Seeing that Jiang Chuan was very satisfied with the dagger, he was naturally happy as well.

Then Xu Chenggong said, "I'm glad you like it."

"Let's go back."

"We have a short meeting with Captain Chen."

Jiang Chuan nodded, took the box, and left the office.

He walked quickly, wanting to get back to his dorm as fast as possible so he could examine the dagger one more time.

……

……

After Jiang Chuan left, the smiles on the faces of the four people in the office gradually faded, and they became serious.

Judging from their expressions, what they called a "small meeting" was certainly not small.

Xu Chenggong said, "Xiao Wu, why don't you tell us?"

"What news did you bring back from headquarters?"

Wu Qingqing nodded, took out her tablet, and while turning on the screen, said:
"The first secretaries of all branches gathered for this meeting, which had three main agenda items."

"First, as the time it takes for memories to awaken becomes longer, the phenomenon of wild animals reverting to their ancestral forms in non-human living areas is becoming more and more serious."

"Recently, there have been various cases of people being injured and killed by strange beasts in places such as Emei, Kunlun, Changbai, and Qinling."

"Our city of Qing is currently in a safe zone, but we must remain vigilant and strictly enforce the lockdown and situation reconnaissance."

Chen Xingyang knew about this.

Li Yu went deep into Kunlun precisely for this purpose.

As Wu Qingqing spoke, she had already brought up the images.

"Then comes the second thing."

She showed the picture to the other three people, and at this moment, Wu Qingqing's expression became more serious, even somewhat heavy.

The pictures flashed past the three of them one by one, and even Chen Xingyang, who had been the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard in his previous life, couldn't help but narrow his eyes when he saw the extremely bloody scenes on the pictures.

Villages flowing with blood, mines filled with corpses, an airport eerily silent...

A female student suddenly went berserk in the middle of the road, slaughtering everyone in her path...

A baby with bloodshot eyes and a wicked grin floats in the center of the mall, surrounded by clothes, tiles, dolls, and passersby whose bodies have been twisted.

The appearance of these images represents scenes of bloody and brutal killings.

While the white lotus drug incident was resolved in Qing City, other agencies in various regions were clearly also running around in a frenzy, dealing with all sorts of other incidents.

Wu Qingqing continued speaking in a heavy voice:

“Abnormal phenomena are occurring frequently in various places.”

"We don't yet know what caused this sudden outburst, and we can't discuss how to prevent it at the moment..."

"The only thing we can do is to speed up the progress of infrastructure construction to ensure that rescue and annihilation teams can arrive as soon as possible when a disaster occurs."

Wu Qingqing paused for a moment, then provided additional information about the rescue team and the extermination team:
"Three and a half months from now, the students currently undergoing training will form the main body of the extermination and rescue teams."

"Then there's the third thing..."

At this moment, Xu Chenggong interrupted Wu Qingqing and asked Chen Xingyang, "Captain Chen, what do you think?"

Chen Xingyang seemed still immersed in the visual impact of those photos and hadn't come to his senses.

After a moment, he said, "I just feel lucky."

The other three were taken aback when they heard Chen Xingyang's words.

Chen Xingyang continued, "If we hadn't thought of Zhao Tianyu, our Qing City would have ended up in these photos sooner or later."

"If we hadn't realized that someone within our ranks had been infiltrated, Zhao Tianyu would probably be sitting here in this meeting right now as well."

"If Zhao Yongxuan hadn't been shot and killed that day... it's hard to imagine what Qingshi Hospital would be like now."

"..."

"Headquarters said they haven't found the root cause..."

"Isn't it because there are too many possible root causes?"

The air pressure in the room seemed to drop suddenly.

Jiang Chuan had just left the room, but everything Chen Xingyang said was related to Jiang Chuan.

But Chen Xingyang didn't stop there. He continued, "The inspection team will not let its guard down..."

"Our inspection team has completed more than fifty cases during this period."

"Beneath the current calm surface of Qing City, how many undercurrents are flowing... I don't even dare to think about it."

"Dean Xu, Dean Wang, I know that the organization is still short-staffed."

"However, the inspection team needs to be supplemented with more personnel."

"Currently, the supervisory team is finding it increasingly difficult to fully resolve the case."

"Let alone others, even I am far inferior to Lin Ci in terms of pure combat strength."

"Jiang Chuan is growing very fast, and he's probably stronger than me now..."

“If some of these trained children cannot be transferred to the inspection team, then I believe that the personnel of the extermination and rescue teams must be placed under the jurisdiction of the inspection team.”

"I need to have people on my side."

Chen Xingyang didn't beat around the bush at all; he stated his needs directly.

Even though this request would seem like a joke to other leaders, Xu Chenggong and Wang Zhi were seriously considering it.

Xu Chenggong and Wang Zhi exchanged a glance, then Xu Chenggong spoke:
"There are still more than three months until these children finish their training, so there's no need to rush."

Chen Xingyang knew that this matter couldn't be decided so easily, but considering everything that had happened recently...

He had no choice but to speak his mind.

The safety of people's lives and property must be guaranteed.

Then, Xu Chenggong looked at Wu Qingqing and said, "Xiao Wu, you can continue."

Wu Qingqing nodded and said, "The third thing..."

"Local agencies immediately began searching for awakened memories of Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng, Qin Er Shi Hu Hai, Zhao Gao, Meng Tian, ​​and all those involved in the construction of the First Emperor's Mausoleum."

"Archaeological work on the First Emperor's Mausoleum is being prepared and must be completed within four months."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xingyang's pupils contracted slightly.

Wang Zhi's expression also stiffened slightly, and he suddenly stopped playing with the teacup in his hand.

Wu Qingqing and Xu Chenggong already knew about this third matter, so their expressions were neutral, though heavy. Wang Zhi was the first to speak, saying, "Aren't the dream questionnaires all recorded? Why are we being asked to find them? What does this mean?"

Wu Qingqing said, "The accuracy of the dream questionnaire is... worrisome."

"The vast majority of ordinary people did fill out the questionnaires truthfully, and the supervisory teams in various regions have also achieved some results based on these dream questionnaires..."

"But those awakened individuals with extraordinary identities rarely fill out the forms truthfully."

"Even after the questionnaire is distributed, they will immediately restrain their personality and pretend to be an ordinary person in their daily lives."

"It was mentioned at the meeting that they might have obtained some secrets that we, as members of our organization, do not yet have knowledge of."

"at present……"

"In the dream questionnaire, the proportion of awakened emperors from various dynasties was pitifully small."

"Not a single one of the First Emperor's awakened beings..."

As the head of the monitoring team, Chen Xingyang naturally knew that the information recorded in the dream questionnaire wasn't very reliable, but upon hearing Wu Qingqing's words, he suddenly sat up straight: "Not a single one?"

Wu Qingqing nodded: "That's what they said."

Wang Zhi replied, "What headquarters has learned far exceeds our expectations."

"These memory awakenings are among the First Emperor's awakened ones, and they are very likely to implement the relevant protection plan."

Even if it exists, we'll say it doesn't.

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Xingyang felt that Dean Wang's speculation was reasonable.

However, Chen Xingyang also has his own problems.

No sooner had this topic ended than Chen Xingyang immediately asked, "Shall we begin excavating the First Emperor's tomb within four months?"

"What is the purpose?"

"Didn't they say anything either?"

Wu Qingqing nodded.

Chen Xingyang had anticipated this, and fell into deep thought, remaining silent.

After a moment of silence, Xu Chenggong sighed and said:
"Modernity and history are intertwined..."

"Many tombs are currently undergoing archaeological excavation."

"In our Qing City area alone, there are three ongoing archaeological projects."

"The tomb of the Marquis of Haihun has been sealed off, and now the excavation plan for the First Emperor's mausoleum has been approved..."

"The world has been turned upside down in such a short time since the organization was founded."

"It's hard to imagine what the future will hold."

……

……

Under the moonlight, Jiang Chuan hurried on his way, oblivious to what was happening in Xu Chenggong's office.

He just wanted to get back to his dorm as soon as possible.

He thought about many things along the way.

For example, you could search for courses on dagger combat, assassination techniques, or ways to improve physical agility...

After leaving the organization's office building, he ran all the way until he reached the training building before stopping.

It wasn't that Jiang Chuan wanted to stop, but rather that someone called out to him.

"Jiangchuan?"

Jiang Chuan stopped and looked at the somewhat shy girl in front of him. She pointed to herself with some surprise and asked, "You called me?"

The girl was wearing a rather plain plaid shirt and black-rimmed glasses, and had a slightly chubby face.

She's the kind of girl who'd be easily overlooked if she stood next to someone like Li Yi or Song Xi.

But upon closer inspection, it's quite pleasing to the eye.

Upon hearing Jiang Chuan's question, the girl nodded.

Jiang Chuan didn't recognize her at all and was somewhat surprised that she had called out to him: "Who are you?"

"Is there a problem?"

Upon hearing Jiang Chuan's words, the girl suddenly seemed flustered: "You...you don't know me..."

"I...I'm from Class Two!"

As she spoke, she tried hard to recall and complete what she wanted to say: "My name is Zhong Huahua!"

Jiang Chuan thought to himself, "A good name is one that's easy to remember."

After giving her name, Zhong Huahua immediately added, "I...I came to see you because I wanted to...ask you..."

"About the second phase of training!"

Jiang Chuan said "Oh," and suddenly remembered who this girl named Zhong Huahua was.

She used her powerful mental strength to deflect the copper pellets and steel needles, managed to walk four and a half meters, and was then taken to the medical station.

However, although they were sent to the medical station, they were undoubtedly a dark horse among the dark horses.

Jiang Chuan was also somewhat curious about her, since he was still quite inept at controlling his mental power. He didn't want to miss this opportunity to exchange ideas.

So he could only patiently suppress his urge to go back and play with the dagger, and looked at her as he asked, "What do you want to ask?"

Zhong Huahua seemed very happy to hear Jiang Chuan say that.

"I'd like to ask you, how do you train?"

"While I was running earlier..."

“I, I noticed... you started out in last place, but quickly overtook me…”

Jiang Chuan thought to himself that he had surpassed many people.

He wasn't intentionally hiding anything... he just progressed quickly without any special training.

So he shook his head and said:
"I'm just more talented."

That's not a lie.

But when Zhong Huahua heard this, she looked somewhat disappointed.

"Okay... okay."

Jiang Chuan looked at her and, although he wasn't Captain Chen, he immediately deduced that the girl thought he was hiding something and didn't want to talk about it.

Jiang Chuan admitted that he did have a habit of keeping things to himself; his living environment had shaped his less outgoing personality. But at this moment, he was truly telling the truth.

While Zhong Huahua hesitated, unsure of what to say next, Jiang Chuan said, "My training method cannot be replicated."

"You can't use it."

"However, I've been training my mental strength recently."

"We can exchange ideas on this."

"..."

Jiang Chuan paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "But with your level of mental strength, my training methods probably won't be very effective, will they?"

Zhong Huahua immediately shook her head; her joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness were clearly displayed on her face.

She exclaimed excitedly, "I'm not very good at it!"

"I've never had any special training!"

Jiang Chuan was taken aback: "Huh?"

But then I thought, it's normal that others haven't been trained; I have too many resources that others don't.

This is all thanks to Brother Li's discerning eye.

He immediately said, "Do you know... long-distance perception?"

Jiang Chuan introduced the method of achieving penetrating perception through spiritual energy lines, which was explained by the bald middle-aged male teacher in "Lecture 2 on Spiritual Power".

After Jiang Chuan finished speaking, he added, "This is quite difficult; I haven't learned it yet."

"you……"

Jiang Chuan paused as he spoke.

He looked at the girl in front of him, made a praying gesture with his hands, closed his eyes slightly, and then opened them.

She looked at Jiang Chuan with extreme excitement and innocent wonder:
"is that so!?"

In Jiang Chuan's spiritual perception, he "saw" that tiny line emanating from her body.

It stretched into the dark night.
