As Xiahou spoke, I looked at Yuko and another female passenger standing on the airplane's boarding stairs. Yuko was holding a lighter and gesturing in front of the other passenger. She was covered in gasoline, and quite a bit had spilled down the stairs.
"Kong Yidi! If not, I'll throw away this lighter, and the whole plane will be burned down and then explode! Ahahaha! Did you see? I have a few things on me!"
As she spoke, Yuko pulled open her blue shirt, revealing her fair skin and a lace bra. But above the bra, a string of TNT bombs was hanging!
Seeing the explosives, everyone around couldn't help but gasp.
With this amount of TNT, if it were actually detonated, not only the plane in front of them but the entire airport would be leveled!
Security was upgraded again. I calmly walked to the bottom of the boarding stairs, raised my hands in surrender, and observed Yuko's situation closely. She wasn't crazy; she seemed to be dreaming!
If that were the case, anything I said to her would probably be useless.
But I still spoke, "Takeda Yuko, you and Zhang Keying have a good relationship, right? You are dreaming right now. What are you seeing? Don't be afraid. This is just a nightmare. Everything will be better once you wake up!"
"I'm not dreaming, this is real, this is real!"
"You're not dreaming, but why are your eyes always closed!"
Yuko opened her eyes, but what she saw was a pair of eyes without pupils!
Like a demon, she raised one hand and waved the lighter. "Don't come any closer, or I really will..."
"Yuko, calm down. Do you know this female passenger?"
"No!"
"Then why are you doing this to her?"
"I don't know! Ever since I... met the Nightmare Sage, my thoughts have changed. Sometimes I feel like I'm not a graduate of the Forensic Medicine program. I should be a criminal. Yes! I am a born criminal, the King of Destruction. I can't live like a forensic investigator; it's not my nature! I'm sorry, Zhang Keying, I have to break my promise to you!"
I secretly pressed the radio. Zhang Keying immediately knew what to do. She was already on her way to the scene.
"But your time in college was really unforgettable, don't you remember anything?"
"You're wrong, Detective He. I've actually always disliked Keying! If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have been neglected. I was an exchange student, and because of my sweet appearance, I was very popular when I came to China. But later, Zhang Keying captured the hearts of her classmates with her talent. Everyone stopped wanting to be with me. Some even said I was from an island nation, a shameless, vulgar islander, and should kneel and apologize to us Chinese!"
"Once, several boys surrounded me in the music room and forced me to kneel. Then they tied a rope around my neck and were about to strangle me. At that time, I saw Zhang Keying passing by in the corridor, but she didn't come to save me. She just left."
"I was furious. I thought Zhang Keying was my good friend, but at a critical moment, she just turned a blind eye and left!"
"Then why didn't you get revenge on her? What are you doing at the airport? And how did you meet the Nightmare Sage? I remember he's already dead!"
"He's not dead. Even if his physical body is gone, he will soon possess another person. He is in me now! I also wanted to find Zhang Keying, but she's at the Provincial Department. I couldn't barge in, so I had to do this. I knew you would definitely go to where Zhang Keying was!"
"Heh, you mean everything is proceeding according to your plan?" I looked intently at Yuko.
Takeda Yuko slowed down her movements with the lighter, squeezed the female passenger's neck tightly, and said, "That's right, I'll make sure you all die without a burial ground!! This is also the will of the Nightmare Sage!!"
"You bastard! How do you think he's inside you?"
"I dream of him every day, and with him, well, he's such a gentle man, a wise man, not comparable to us mortals!"
"Heh, I may be a mortal, but this kind of pathological reaction will only make others think you're crazy!"
"I'm crazy? Hahaha! No! You people have mental problems. The whole world is about to collapse, and you lunatics still think nothing is happening!!"
I thought this guy's brain was messed up. What was she talking about, calling us crazy? I really wanted to rush over and slap her right then, but if I did, everything would be ruined.
I endured Yuko's torrent of mad ramblings, maintaining my composure. "Yuko, do you know what you're saying? You're trying to subvert the perception of the entire world. Do you even know what you are? You're just a grain of sand in the mortal world. What right do you have to control others' lives? You're even less qualified to rule this world. The so-called Nightmare Sage is merely a figment of your imagination, an illusion. Perhaps you'll say it's your solace, but only deviants like you would believe such unrealistic faith!!"
"You say we are deviants, ahahaha! Criminals should be like this, shouldn't they? The law is there to forcefully eliminate these cancers of humanity. Therefore, there is no such thing as fairness. You so-called people's police are just puppets of the law!"
"Well said, that the police are just puppets of the law. Empress Lü once said that the law is made by humans, so whether to abide by it is decided by the ruler. What do you think? Don't you know that the law is the same for both the heavenly official and the commoner? If the law can be changed at will, what was the point of establishing it in the first place?"
"Officer He, I admire your eloquence. If you weren't a police officer and became a lawyer, it might be a good choice. I have fallen into darkness. No matter what you say, I will not betray the Nightmare Sage!"
At this moment, I suddenly heard footsteps not far away. I turned around and saw Zhang Keying and He Qing arriving at the scene.
As soon as He Qing arrived, he held a flowing sand in his hand. I knew he intended to hypnotize Takeda Yuko on the spot.
But Yuko was now under the control of another ideology. Hypnotizing her would be extremely difficult. The only one who could change this situation was Zhang Keying. I glanced at her.
