The long September 3rd finally passed, and it was late at night. At one o'clock in the morning on the 4th, on the outskirts of Longjun Capital, an inconspicuous black car parked on the roadside, and a man and a woman were talking in the car.
Both of them have East Asian faces and are wearing decent business suits. If it weren't for the wrong time, they could easily be misunderstood as a pair of colleagues on a business trip. The man in the driver's seat was estimated to be about thirty years old, with slightly curly black hair, deep eye sockets, and a well-groomed mustache that was most unforgettable. At this moment, while taking out a cigarette from his pocket, he complained to the woman: "Why doesn't the Federation just unify the left and right rudders of cars? I'm not used to driving Long County's cars at all."
The woman in the passenger seat seemed to be the same age as the man, with elegant makeup and a plump figure. She first unceremoniously snatched the man's cigarette that was about to reach his mouth, and lit it for herself calmly under the latter's unhappy gaze. Then she lightly opened her red lips and said, "Ema-kun, don't forget, Sakura County only has a population of 110 million. The number in Long County is 1.4 billion, and even if the federal government unified the driver's seat position, it would only be left-hand drive."
"Aren't there Baoxiang County, Wandao County, Shanying County and Borneo County that use left-hand drive? These four are all counties with large populations. Including Ying County, the population of the five areas is close to 2.5 billion."
Among the countries and regions that use right-hand drive vehicles in the world, the more well-known ones include Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Australia, Indonesia, India, Thailand, Pakistan, Malaysia, South Africa, etc. Most of them come from the former British federal. In this parallel universe, except for the above-mentioned five counties in Asia and the British counties in Western Europe, other regions that use right-hand drive vehicles have changed to left-hand drive.
The woman smiled softly: "So how do the other 6.5 billion people on the earth drive?"
"Ah, Minako, you really don't know how to chat." The man took out another cigarette in a depressed tone, and this time he got what he wanted.
"I won't pretend to flatter men like ordinary women in Sakura County."
It is worth mentioning that the conversation between these two people was in Japanese. Combined with the key information in the conversation, their identities are clearly revealed: Ema Ang and Minako Sezuki, who were originally lent by Kimura Yankatsu to the Governor of Dragon County Qian Jin to participate Two high-level ability user guards of the rebellion.
Ema puffed away the clouds coolly: "Then, let's talk about other topics. For example, what are your plans after tonight?"
"Do we have to discuss it now?" Minako Sezuki asked back: "Not to mention how much we have talked about this matter before, just talking about the current situation, the two of us are on a mission, and we can't think about it in advance. Does it affect the performance of the battle?"
"I just want to talk about something to relieve my tension..."
"Please stay quiet. If you can't hold it in anymore, smoke more."
After Minako Minako encountered several problems in succession, Emaang closed her mouth and smoked silently with resentment.
Most high-level ability users can maintain a younger appearance, and the two Yingjun people who came from afar are no exception. They looked to be in their early thirties, but in fact Emaang's real age was over fifty, and Sezuki beside him was also in his forties.
However, what is interesting is that although Ema Ang is older, her character cannot change the roughness of her youth; although Minako Sezuki is young, she has no respect for her predecessor Ema Ang. This is because she pays too much attention to seniority, seniority and age. Orderly Sakura County is simply unimaginable.
Emaon's silence didn't last long. After a few minutes, he started to babble again, to the effect that Minako Sezuki was really unlovable. She was completely different now from when she was a child...
Sezuki's response to this was that she raised her hands and blocked her ears in front of Emaang. This gesture directly expressed her attitude - I won't listen, I won't listen.
"I remember Minako, when you were very young, you would pester me every day and wouldn't let me go to the front line."

The already elderly Ema Ang was reminiscing about his youthful past: "Even though I have told you countless times that your brother and I are a very powerful ability user, but you still...huh?!"
Ema Ang, whose superpower level has reached the core level, is more sensitive to superpower attacks than Minako Sezuki, who is at the next level, but even though he has realized that something is wrong, he has no time to react. The moment Emaang sensed an attack coming, the latter was actually over.
Just like pressing the pause button on a smooth video and pulling the progress bar to play back, the normal communication between the two suddenly stopped, and the scene in the car began to become fixed and repeated:
Ema Ang took out a cigarette from his pocket while complaining to Minako Sezuki: "Why doesn't the Federation just unify the left and right-hand drive of cars? I'm not used to driving Longjun's car at all."
"Ema-kun, don't forget, Sakura County only has a population of 110 million, while Ryu County has a population of 1.4 billion. Even if the federation unifies the driver's seat position, it will only be left-hand drive." Minako Sezuki said, slapping her adopted brother. He said with the cigarette snatched in his hand.
…………
"Now, there is a visibility time loop of 385.9 seconds. For more than six minutes, the two high-level ability users talked about trivial matters without any valuable information. Brother, I told you before that you came here in vain, no I lied to you."
Next to the door of the black car, there were two figures, one fat and one thin, standing very close. They were taking the simultaneous interpretation machine from their ears, but Emaang and Sezuki turned a blind eye to them. The person who spoke before was the fat man among the two people standing.
He is fat, but he has a very pleasant appearance: he has good facial features, bulging cheeks, and a broad but not greasy figure, and he is not "obese" like a sumo wrestler. The whole person looks Not only does he have no sense of strength, but he also has a sense of naivety.
His name is Yan Dong, a dragon-level ability user with the name "Sisyphus". It was he who took action to retrace the timeline of Ying County's two major reinforcements on August 29, the night when Qian Jin, the former governor of Long County, rebelled, causing the latter to directly miss the battle, which in turn led to Qian Jin's defeat.
Yan Dong's name originated from a character in ancient Greek mythology. Sisyphus was punished by the gods and was required to push a boulder up a mountain. But whenever the stone is pushed to the top of the mountain, it immediately rolls back to its original place at the bottom of the mountain. This means that Sisyphus will never be able to complete the task of pushing the rock, and will be with the rock for the rest of his life. Ema Ang and Sezuki Minako, who were attacked by Yan Dong's supernatural power, were like Sisyphus, trapped in an endless cycle and unable to escape, and they didn't even know it yet.
The tall and thin man whom Yan Dong calls his brother has a much colder temperament than Yan Dong. Although he is 67% similar to his brother Yan Dong in appearance, he is stern and his facial contours are sharp and angular due to his thinness, giving people the impression of being as sharp as a razor: "Well, it is true that there is very little useful information, but I won't come in person. Take a look, I’m not worried.”
This guy, who sounds like an old and steady man when he opens his mouth, is actually not the first time he appears in this game. His name is Yan Qiu, and he is the middle-aged man who killed Qian Jin and destroyed the safe house in Chapter 31.
Yan Qiu is also a dragon-level person with the special ability "Lan Ke". His name comes from the famous ancient Chinese allusion "Guan Qi Lan Ke".
"In Shishi Mountain, Xin'an County, during the Jin Dynasty, Wang Zhi was cutting wood. When he arrived, he saw several boys playing chess and singing, and Zhi Yin listened to them. The boy took an object with the pledge, such as a date core, and held it in the pledge. He didn't feel hungry. After a while, the boy He said: 'Why don't you go?'. He looked up and saw that the ax was rotten, and once he returned, he never returned to his time."
——"Shu Yi Ji", written by Liang Renfang of the Southern Dynasties.
"Why don't you wait a little longer before activating the power? Maybe they will talk about the key content soon." Yan Qiu was a bit pushy.
"Brother, what you said is heartless." Yan Dong spread his fleshy hands and expressed that he was helpless: "Not to mention that these two people communicated in Japanese that I couldn't understand at all, so I couldn't judge the content. Important or not; not to mention that this Ema Ang is still
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
They are nuclear-level ability users whose level is higher than mine. It would be great if Sisyphus could trap them both. How could I have the guts to let these two people do whatever they want? "
"Yes, I remember you have been here for a week?"
"Yes, today is the seventh day."
"Then...how long can you continue to maintain this time loop?"
Yan Dong scratched his head: "Theoretically, I can trap them until they die, but at the same time, as a caster, I will also be fixed here. You can understand that I am an immovable formation eye now."
"In other words, the best way to liberate you is to gather a group of ability users whose comprehensive combat power is greater than or equal to the sum of one core level and one dragon level. Once you cancel the effect of Sisyphus, we will attack with focused fire. Let’s go together and kill Ema Ang and Minako Sezuki.”
"That's it."
"Okay." Yan Qiu seemed very dissatisfied with this answer, but he had no other solution: "Then I'm afraid you'll have to work hard for a while."
"Uh...Brother, didn't you come here tonight to help me solve this problem?" It was only then that poor Yan Dong realized something was wrong.
Yan Qiu said confidently: "Of course not. Our combined strength cannot defeat each other."
"Then why are you here?"
"I'm going to Ying County. I have a small mission. I'll set off at dawn. I thought you still have two high-level officials from Ying County trapped here, so I might be able to get some useful clues, so I came here to try my luck."
"Okay, anyway, my recent life is not bad except for being boring." Yan Dong's words are true. Parked ten meters behind him was a luxury RV, which was Yan Dong's temporary residence recently. It had all the food, drink and entertainment items that could be added to the car. Just to prevent innocent people from being accidentally injured in the battle between high-level ability users, all residents within a ten-mile radius of this place were evacuated, and the outermost perimeter was wrapped like an iron barrel by the military. Under this situation, Yan Dong can't order takeout or find someone to play with the entertainment facilities in the RV. He can only eat a limited number of dishes cooked by the artificial intelligence in the on-board kitchen every day, and watch movies and TV series to pass the time. This made Yan Dong feel as if he was under house arrest. "Huh? Why doesn't Mr. Tang send a few more high-level ability users over to settle this matter?"
"There are not enough manpower."
"Impossible, this is the capital city, there is still a shortage of high-level ability users?"
"I didn't lie to you." Yan Qiu hesitated, and finally decided to tell the truth: "Most of the people have been sent to the southwest."
"Southwest...Is the newly-appointed Gordon Gardner from Southeast Asia trying to cause trouble?" Although it was almost like being banned, Yan Dong didn't know anything about the outside world.
"No, when I say southwest, I mean the Tibetan area."
"...Abram?"
"yes."
"What kind of trouble is he trying to make? I remember that Abram is Joseph's student, right? Shouldn't he use the excuse of revenge against his master to fight with Gordon?"
"It's hard to say." Yan Qiu didn't want to go into details. Of course, it might be that he didn't know much about the inside story: "In short, don't worry about it. The work you do here is both leisurely and a great achievement. Don't be dissatisfied."
Yan Dong touched his nose and acquiesced: "Brother, you just said you were going to Ying County. What mission is it? Can you reveal it?"
"What do you think?"
"...Okay, I won't ask anymore."
"Small things can be handled quickly." Yan Qiu said calmly, "I'm just bringing someone back."
"Who is it...Oh, no, didn't you tell me?!"
"I didn't say I couldn't tell you in the first place." After teasing his brother, a smile appeared on Yan Qiu's wooden face: "As for the target's name, we used the code name given to her by Yingjun... "
"Ms. x."
