"Jackson sold us out? That traitor, he ruined everything!""How can he help strangers ruin everything we've built? What is he thinking?""This Jackson, I'm going to kill him!"Everyone there was agitated and furious, as if Jackson had murdered their parents or something similar.Edward unconsciously pulled Liana to his side, afraid that these people might suddenly attack them. The group of soldiers and police officers were also on standby, ready to shoot if anyone dared to rebel."Jackson did what he did because he couldn't bear to see the sins you all committed. After all, you understand the kind of sick things you've done." Liana suddenly said, and Maison Roberts gave her a malicious look and started laughing."Are we the sinners? No, this world has turned us into who we are, and the winner takes all! So why can there be so many kings and queens in history, but we are sinning just because we intend to do the same? Who has the power? Who will rule everything? That's the rule of every
For the purpose of this mission, the President ordered around ten computer experts to come and assist, and they were all waiting for Liana's arrangement."It looks good, everyone will be responsible for one, however, let me try first, maybe they are equipped with some sort of information cleaning system." Liana spoke, fearing that their carelessness might trigger such a system and their opportunity would be wasted, and no one had issues with her taking the first chance.As Liana sat in front of a supercomputer, the screen suddenly lit up, and a frame that scanned the human face feature appeared on the screen, and the computer said in a mechanical voice,"Enter the password within three seconds, or the system will initiate the self-destruct sequence after one minute. Initial countdown, three..."As the mechanical voice began the countdown, Liana immediately jumped out of her chair and moved away from the computer, and everyone stared at the computer in shock; she was right all along, t
“Disabling the self-destruct system doesn't help us at all; these supercomputers have more than one password lock. I can't guarantee I'll be that lucky next time." Liana didn't waste time and said, looking at everyone."Do you mean none of these computers here can be touched?" Edward asked to confirm."That's right." Liana nodded. "Stay away from all the computers, and to ensure that the contained information isn't affected, it's better that no one approaches them.""So, what's the difference in just letting them self-destruct? Either way, we can't retrieve the contained information." An expert asked."We can't retrieve the information right now, but we will figure out a way. Perhaps there are methods we can u
"Come on, I need to get to the observatory to see what's happening up there," Liana suddenly said, and Edward supported her crazy idea."Okay, let's go now.""Do you two really think there are people up there?" Gabbe was shocked."There has to be," Liana said confidently, the plot was leading that way, and no one would stop her, but... "We'll know after we find out," Liana opened the door and walked out.She didn't like wasting time talking, she was a woman of action, and Edward helped her get in touch with President Marques, and informed him about their idea, and though President Marques was shocked, he chose to support them; after all, maybe they could find something.Furthermore, President Marqu
On the screen, Walter Roberts first clapped his hands with the grace of a gentleman, and on the giant screen behind him, images of satellites in space were displayed. The most notable ones were the ten satellites aligned in a row."Are you seeing this? These satellites are just a part of my invention, and I'm using these satellites to communicate with all of you. However, in ten minutes, all of these satellites will explode. Consider it my first gift to all of you. Of course, this isn't the only thing I've done. My greatest creation was spreading around five hundred satellites in Earth's ozone layer. These satellites are not only capable of transmitting signals, but they also contain immense explosive power. Each satellite can release energy equivalent to an atomic bomb. Are you shocked to hear this?" Walter Roberts smiled and continued with ease, as if he were talking about the weather. "When these satellites descend to Earth and explode, the world will probably come to an end. Howev
Isaque also left the Roberts family house at the first warning and rushed to the president's residence. He wasn't foolish and was preparing to leave when the stations were occupied. If he had been a second later, he wouldn't have been able to escape because shortly after he left, many people came to the mansion to demand an explanation. After all, Walter was related to the Roberts family, so the initial response from the people was to invade the mansion and demand answers and justice. However, after entering, they only found Patricio in his bed, unable to move.No one could have imagined that Isaque-Jackson had already fled to the president's mansion.But Liana's group took quite a while to reach the president's residence. They were hindered along the way by the madness that was unfolding, with fights and mass robberies happening in broad daylight.Liana's group took quite a while to reach the president's residence. They were delayed by the madness that was happening along the way. Ma
A few days had passed, and since Walter appeared, there had been significant change every day, just as there was a change in the daily lives of people as well. However, none of the changes were good. Factories, schools, and businesses... all had stopped functioning, and there were few to no vehicles on the streets, and even fewer pedestrians. Almost everyone had chosen to spend the last month with their families, while the homeless and criminals roamed the streets, taking advantage of something extremely dangerous.The internet had become the most crowded place. Every day, several people posted methods trying to get in touch with Walter or save themselves. Others opened message boards for pro-Walter Roberts individuals to gather and pledge allegiance to him. However, the most alarming part was that within just half a day after its creation, millions of people had registered and wanted to become followers of Walter. Even though the message board was shut down immediately and the organi
"He doesn't dare to come down here because he's afraid of death, or maybe because he has wasted so many years planning his crazy plan?" Liana laughed cheerfully."And? What's your point?" Edward was confused."If he doesn't come down, then how will he rule this world? He'll play God from space, what's the fun in that?" Understanding dawned on Edward."Actually, if he doesn't come down, how will he rule this world?" "Moreover, he must already be in old age. If he really became the ruler, how many more years can he sit on the throne?" Liana asked another question."You mean..." Edward was surprised, then said hesitantly."Yes, he needs memory cells.""He doesn't dare to come down means he probably doesn't know that memory cell research has already been completed?" Now Edward understood what she was hinting at."Maybe, but perhaps he knows the whole story and still might not see any use in something with a shelf life of 6 months. If the research doesn't succeed, he won't be able to rule
After Liana woke up, she was interrogated by the police, but since she couldn't remember anything, there was nothing she could answer. Fortunately, the hotel manager intervened to vouch for her. Later, the real killer of Veronica was arrested, so the police released her.He smiled and said, "It seems what they say is correct. The me in this second is different from the me in the last second. Changing the past is a very difficult thing to do because a large part of time and space will be distorted, and who is man to challenge the natural process of time and space?""You're right, but luckily, we managed to change the past," Liana nodded."No, we didn't change anything," Edward shook his head."We didn't?" Liana furrowed her brow; if they hadn't, how could he be so slow?As if he were reading her thoughts, Edward couldn't help but smile."But we changed the future.""What do you mean by that?""The man acknowledged our effort and was willing to give the world another 25 years, but we ch
"He's escaping!" Edward hissed vehemently.He then leaped out of the window ledge and landed on the ground. This was the second floor, but he jumped without hesitation. Liana saw this and rushed down the stairs as fast as she could. Unfortunately, when she reached the ground floor, she could only see Edward's shadow fleeing.Liana used her top speed to catch up, and Edward was chasing the killer. The killer was running with Veronica on his back. He jumped into a car parked on the road, then threw Veronica inside and drove away.Edward almost caught up to the car but arrived a second too late. He could only watch as the car sped away."Get in!" Liana had already anticipated the killer's actions, so she had stopped a car at the side of the road, and Edward got into the car without hesitation."Chase that car in front of us!" Liana ordered the driver. The driver stepped on the gas pedal but asked uncertainly, "What are you planning?""Catch him, and this is all yours!" Edward, who was si
After securing his room, Edward exited through the hotel's back door and headed towards Veronica's residence.Veronica didn't live far from the small hotel, but it would still take ten minutes to walk there. She resided in a dilapidated residential area. The surroundings consisted of old, abandoned three-story buildings. Most of them had broken windows and, looking from the outside, appeared completely dark and uninhabited.Only a few rooms had dim lights filtering from within. The streetlights in this residential area were all broken, and the place was dark. Occasionally, the hissing of cats from the overgrown bushes could be heard; it was the perfect setting for a horror movie.However, Liana wasn't afraid. Besides caution, there was no trace of fear on her face. She followed the address and inspected the buildings one by one, and after some effort, she finally found where Veronica was located.Liana was standing under the building, and when she looked up, she saw that the lights on
"A girl from abroad, probably here to travel," replied the manager. "In that case, she'll definitely need a good tour guide." The man straightened his suit in an obvious manner and eagerly rushed out.The manager shook his head but didn't intervene. Women from out of town often fell prey to the town's men, and many of them considered themselves lucky to have experienced a foreign affair, when in reality, all these men were seasoned hunters, and their prizes were just women.If the girl didn't resist temptation, she would have a lot to lose. However, Carl wasn't concerned about the girl who had just left because she seemed entirely capable of taking care of herself.Liana walked for a while before realizing someone was following her. She saw a dark alley and entered it directly. The man behind her laughed cheerfully and quickened his pace.In the alley, Liana was soon cornered by the man. Initially, the man had intended to follow her for a while longer, but he knew this alley like the
Armed with a curious heart, Liana entered this small, old-looking hotel. Sitting behind the antique counter was a middle-aged man tallying the accounts. He was thin, and though the shirt he wore was outdated, it was of a certain luxury, and there was a calculating glint in his eyes. Liana could tell, with just a glance, that he was the hotel manager.The manager saw her, and his gaze swiftly traversed her entire body. He then stood up with a smile to inquire."Accommodation?""Yes, give me your best room," Liana said as she handed him her temporary identity, as she had acquired temporary residence in the country and didn't need to carry her passport.The manager accepted her identity and studied it. He asked with a smile, "Where are you from? It says here that you're not from this country.""The United States," Liana replied in an emotionless tone. Normally, others wouldn't have pressed further, but the manager typed her information unhurriedly and continued to ask."Are you here to t
"This is her," Lilith handed them a photo and introduced, "Her name is Veronica, and she lived in Darlin, here in the United States, and was murdered in a homicide case ten years ago, and the killer gruesomely dismembered her body, but they never found the body, and what you need to do is to find the killer or desecrate her body. I've also compiled all the information I could find about her, so you can take a look now."Lilith then opened her laptop to show the information about Veronica. Liana and Edward thought Veronica would have a complicated background, but to their surprise, she was a simple and ordinary woman, and the only noteworthy thing was that she was raped and gave birth to a child. However, her child was stolen from her, and she fell into depression, barely surviving on the streets.Nevertheless, misfortune did not leave her life.When she was 30, she was brutally murdered, and the case remains unsolved to this day. Nobody knew who the killer was or what the motive was.
At that time, I foresaw something and chose to settle there. I conducted at least ten years of research and reached a bottleneck. Similarly, I was afraid that Walter Roberts would notice our scent, so I brought them with me when I left," Lilith recounted in a distant tone, and Liana and Edward still had difficulty understanding her, but they knew she was talking about Gabbe's parents.Unfortunately, they all perished during various experiments, news that caused Gabbe to withdraw for a long period of time. Only Lilith survived. Liana understood that her mother was not a coward. She also participated in these dangerous experiments and survived, probably due to luck and ability.However, they still hadn't achieved what she foresaw. Could it be the apocalypse? Liana asked the question, and Lilith nodded."Yes, I foresaw the apocalypse, and it will happen soon. But don't wo
"What will make you stop?""I don't need anything," the man smiled indulgently."You must have something you desire," Lilith turned to look at him. "Tell me what it is, maybe I can fulfill your wish.""I'm honored to hear that from you. I'm glad I had this conversation with you today, and thank you for allowing me to be in the presence of the brightest person in the world," the man raised his eyebrow slightly.Lilith understood what he meant.He didn't need anything; he simply enjoyed talking to her.He was wrapping up the conversation, and no one would stop his plan, not even her.However, no matter how dark he was, he was still a man.If he were a man, he would be prone to regrets and ideals, and Lilith believed that he, as an individual, was more than just a rush to destroy the world.Lilith's calm eyes gazed into his, and her voice was low but sounded like heavenly music in his ears."Think carefully, what is still buried deep in your heart? Destroying the world is easy, but can y
"You used the memory cells?" Lilith's gaze scanned her entire body, and she immediately realized the truth."You are definitely the brightest woman there is, I'm very impressed," the man clapped his hands together as he spoke."Do you need something from me?" Lilith wasn't surprised, nor did she show any visible reaction to his easy admission; she simply asked in a soft tone."Of course, I overheard everything just now. If you don't mind, I believe we can have an interesting conversation," the man said in a friendly tone."Okay," Lilith nodded, and the mysterious man smiled and extended his hand."Please!" Lilith followed him without hesitation. They entered another room, and the difference from Walter Roberts' room was that this one was larger and more luxurious. It was the chief secretary's office, and there was a photo of him on the desk. However, compared to the man in front of Lilith, the man in the photo appeared refined and exuded a kindness cultivated by age. The man before h
