Phi-Fic Chapter 780 The Cage of Innocence 20
Chapter 780 The Cage of Innocence 20
That night you heard countless piercing sirens blaring from the other side of the city, unsure if it was in a dream or from the sky.
The next morning, news reports about the massive explosion at an abandoned chemical plant on the outskirts of the city the previous night were broadcast everywhere.
You sit on the sofa in the living room, with no one beside you.
Qin Che didn't keep your appointment, and he never returned to this "home" again.
Perhaps he wasn't unwilling to return, but rather passively disappeared from the city.
Even though it was in a game, it would be a lie to say I wasn't disappointed and worried by such a sudden disappearance.
Fortunately, the part of the story you're in right now is just a memory.
You knew he would come back.
Amidst speculation, waiting, and searching, those suspicious and dangerous figures reappear around you.
You know, the plot is starting to move forward, you can't just sit here and wait to die.
Since you can no longer be affectionate with Qin Che, your primary goal becomes saving your life.
Without Qin Che by your side, you decisively chose to accelerate the plot.
Afterwards, you came to the Upper City and became an investigator under an assumed name.
With his position, he had more opportunities to find Qin Che and reunite with him.
You've known all along that the Upper East Side isn't some paradise; people there are more complex and more corrupt than in the place where you grew up.
Even as an investigator, there are still many things here that you are powerless to change.
There are still no clues about Qin Che's whereabouts. If you can't find him even now, does that mean he's not here? You suddenly have the idea of leaving this city.
But as the thought of leaving grew stronger, Qin Che unexpectedly reappeared, becoming a prisoner nominally required to be interrogated.
A flash of white light, and the next second, you're back in that interrogation room.
"Cough cough cough..." You coughed lightly, trying to adjust the discomfort of suddenly returning to the plot.
Suppressing his joy at seeing Qin Che again, he composed himself and continued seriously, "Back to the previous question, the Investigation Bureau needs you to provide clues about Tartarus..."
The footsteps grew louder as they approached, and the jailer from before suddenly jogged over.
He stopped beside you, panting, one hand gripping the iron railing, and said haltingly, "I just received direct orders from higher-ups... Mr. Qin... you can leave now..."
"..."
You were speechless for a second. So sudden!?
Why does the plot feel so disjointed...?
The jailer took a couple of breaths, and while deftly entering the password to open the iron bars, he continued, "Mr. Qin, we have packed your personal belongings. Please take them with you."
You instantly realized that perhaps this imprisonment was a reunion arranged by Qin Che.
Qin Che slowly walked up to you, slightly bent down, and turned his head to meet your gaze with his crimson eyes, just like when you first met in District N109.
"Miss Inspector, thank you for picking me up from prison."
Behind him, the heavy iron gate slowly closed.
Once again breathing in the city's not-so-fresh air with Qin Che, you suddenly have a strange illusion of returning to the past.
Just as you're completely absorbed in the beauty overload before you, unable to extricate yourself, the vibration of your phone in your pocket brings you back to reality.
You scramble out in a flurry of activity, only to find it's a belated message from the bureau.
