QT- I’m Almost Died
Chapter 258. Zhang Yang’s Disheveled State
Fan Jialuo’s alibi, once released, predictably caused a strong reaction. Whether the public was willing to admit it or not, in their hearts, they had always regarded Fan Jialuo as an anomaly.
His taciturn nature and strangely powerful abilities made him an anomaly to this society.
If anything bad happens, especially something with a slightly supernatural element, as long as it has even the slightest connection to him, the first thought that comes to mind is——Ah! I knew he was weird all along!
Therefore, Zhang Yang’s plan was originally very successful. He drew inspiration from the Ma You incident and tried to portray Fan Jialuo as a public enemy. However, he did not expect that before the plan even started, Fan Jialuo had already sensed it and taken precautions based on his intuition.
The video released by Song Rui showed the public a different side of Fan Jialuo, one that was different from his cold, aloof, and powerful demeanor. In the quiet of the night, he would also show a confused and uneasy expression, in front of close friends, he would also laugh carefree, like a simple and innocent boy.
No one can deny the powerful allure of his strikingly handsome face, nor can they deny how perfectly Song Rui’s extraordinary temperament complements his enigmatic nature. When the two of them are together, the surrounding air seems to become warm and sweet, this feeling flows from the screen, melting the hearts of many.
【My heart can’t take this, the scene of Teacher Fan and Dr. Song together is so beautiful! I originally came here to rant, but now I’ve fallen into a shipper pit and can’t get out! 】
【This security footage is kind of grainy, but I’ve only stared at his face a few hundred times, no big deal. 】
【Does anyone remember those three murder videos? Before the cyber police deleted them, I genuinely believed the murderer was Fan Jialuo, but after watching this surveillance footage, I simply can’t reconcile the image of Teacher Fan, who was smiling like a child, with that evil face! They are not the same person at all! 】
【I had the same feeling! The faces are the same, but the eyes, expressions, and temperament don’t match at all! After watching this surveillance video, I’m 100% certain that Teacher Fan would never kill someone! 】
【Duh! Didn’t you see how happy he was with his boyfriend? With a boyfriend to cuddle and sleep with on a cold winter night, who the hell would be out there killing people randomly! 】
【There are too many suspicious points in this case. And I feel that the previous claims that Teacher Fan should be burned alive were orchestrated by online trolls! 】
【Teacher Fan in this surveillance video is Teacher Fan I admire. The murderer in three murder videos are definitely fake! 】
Love and warmth are the most powerful forces in the world. Perhaps it was the softest side of Fan Jialuo that he had never shown to anyone that touched the hearts of the public, or perhaps it was his exceptionally handsome face that was too deceptive, coupled with the repeated official support and clarifications for him, this vigorous “anti-Fan Jialuo campaign” was brought to a halt after only a few hours.
Zhang Yang watched helplessly as his plan failed, and the anger and frustration he felt were indescribable.
He smashed the tablet on the spot, angrily shouting, “Didn’t I tell you to find a hacker to hack his security system? Why does he still have an alibi?”
“The hacker said that he was immediately subjected to strong magnetic field interference after infiltrating his home network, and he couldn’t even get into the database. Boss, we hired a lip-reading expert, and they found that he had already sensed something before our plan even started. He called Song Rui, said he had a bad feeling, and then used the magnetic field to envelop the entire residence.”
Zhang Yang’s subordinates lowered their heads, concealing their fear of Fan Jialuo, “He is the strongest Psychic in China. It’s not that easy to scheme against him.”
Zhang Yang kicked the coffee table to pieces and cursed, “FHM! Why have so many official entities stepped forward to speak up for Fan Jialuo? This is a murder case. Shouldn’t they be cautious before the truth is revealed? When did Fan Jialuo’s connections become so powerful? There must be something I don’t know about.”
He thought and thought, but still couldn’t figure it out, “Yan Quanling just solved the Ma You murder case. Logically speaking, shouldn’t he be the one who hates people like Ma You who kill people everywhere because of their special abilities? Why is he so protective of Fan Jialuo? How dare he take this matter directly to the top and actually get a special release order?”
Some matters become all the more baffling the more one ponders them, Zhang Yang soon realized he might have overlooked a crucial piece of information. The relationship between Fan Jialuo, Chief Yan, and even the higher-ups went far beyond mere cooperation——there had to be tighter bonds of shared interest connecting them.
But what kind of bond could compare to the drug he had developed himself? Zhang Yang couldn’t figure it out, and this only made him feel more frustrated.
However, he was also 100% certain that the three videos were genuine, and that the authorities would definitely not find any flaws or be able to catch the real culprit. Because the real culprit was none other than “Fan Jialuo,” and with that face clearly visible, Fan Jialuo could never wash away this stain for the rest of his life.
As long as he carries suspicion, top leadership will eventually become wary of him and may even try to deal with him. A powerful, uncontrollable person who has no weaknesses yet is tainted will find it difficult to survive in a world full of ordinary people.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yang finally forced a smile and grinned sinisterly.
Just then, Meng Zhong led a group of police officers into his home, presented him with a summons, and ordered him to go to the police station.
Zhang Yang is now considered an official, so naturally he wouldn’t clash with the police. While putting on his coat, he forced a smile and said, “Director Meng, long time no see. I heard you’ve been doing quite well lately? What did you summon me for this time? I haven’t done anything wrong.”
Meng Zhong glanced around the living room and saw that Chang Qi and the others had not only left the Green River Research Institute safely but had also become Zhang Yang’s bodyguards. He felt a sense of relief and secretly chuckled to himself. They say everyone has their own ambitions, and only now did he realize how damn true that was. Who would have thought that comrades who had risked their lives together would turn against each other over a small vial of drug?
“Whether you’ve committed a crime or not, you know it in your heart. We’ve asked you to cooperate with the investigation. Once we get there, you’ll naturally find out the situation.” Meng Zhong gave Zhang Yang a push, but couldn’t move him.
Chang Qi and the others lowered their heads, a sarcastic smile playing on their lips. The once incredibly skilled elite soldier, the genetically enhanced human with innate talent, was now nothing more than that in their eyes.
Meng Zhong:……
FHM! Exactly how many vials did Zhang Yang swallow, and how many mutants did he feed on? Why does he feel as immovable as an iron fortress?
Zhang Yang chuckled softly, then shook his head as if in resignation, before striding towards the door. He wasn’t intimidated by these people’s demands. If they had any leverage over him, they wouldn’t be displaying this frustrated expression, clearly wanting to kill him yet powerless to do anything about it.
Fan Jialuo is definitely going to take the blame for this. Although he has an alibi, Zhang Yang can still set up the same scheme again when he’s not on guard. Old methods don’t matter, as long as they work.
The public’s doubts about Fan Jialuo were not completely dispelled, instead, a seed of suspicion was secretly planted in their hearts. In the future, whenever similar events occurred, this seed would quickly take root, sprout, and grow into a towering tree. There would be many more opportunities to plot against Fan Jialuo in the future.
With this in mind, Zhang Yang remained relaxed.
They had just stepped into the investigation team’s office when a technician rushed in, report in hand, and exclaimed in astonishment, “The blood the killer left at the scene isn’t human or animal blood, it’s a highly volatile and destructive liquid. We can’t detect any DNA data.”
The chief investigator glanced at Zhang Yang and said coldly, “Go and take a sample from Fan Jialuo. Such special blood can be traced to its source without DNA comparison.”
“Okay, we’ll go collect samples right away.” The technician ran back to the lab to get his tools.
Zhang Yang glanced at the chief investigator with an ordinary expression, then lowered his eyes, concealing the smile in his pupils. He knew that for people like them, the blood in their bodies was no longer blood, there was no DNA to compare. As long as these people took Fan Jialuo’s blood, they would definitely be able to match the characteristics of the blood he left behind.
Who could have imagined that such a unique type of blood would be found in the bodies of a group of people simultaneously? This serves as the very piece of irrefutable evidence that nails the case against Fan Jialuo.
Led by Meng Zhong, Zhang Yang entered an interrogation room, his mind filled with smugness and arrogance at the impending success of his plan. He paid no attention to his surroundings. When he was startled awake by the sound of the door closing, he looked up and found Fan Jialuo sitting at the far end of the room, scrutinizing him with a dark gaze.
A beam of dazzling light shone above his head, while shadows enveloped him. His skin was so white it was almost translucent, but his eyes were like pitch-black abyss.
“Sit down!” He commanded matter-of-factly.
Zhang Yang plunged headlong into this abyss, staggering over and sitting down opposite him. The moment his bottom touched the cold chair, he snapped back to reality and demanded sharply, “Why is it you?”
“Why can’t it be me?” Fan Jialuo’s fingertips twitched slightly, and a vast magnetic field, like a ferocious beast, slowly separated from his body, lurking in the light, in the shadows, and even in Zhang Yang’s heart, baring its teeth and licking its lips, watching intently, ready to pounce.
This invisible intimidation was more terrifying than a direct confrontation. Zhang Yang jumped to his feet and strode towards the door, shouting angrily, “What does Meng Zhong mean by locking me up with you? Is he settling a personal score? I’m filing a complaint! I’m here to cooperate with the police investigation, not to confront a serial killer!”
Turning around, he noticed a vending machine in the long, narrow interrogation room. Its cartoonish design and vibrant colors seemed out of place in the dark and cramped space. It stood by the door, its brightly lit screen displaying a blurry outline of a human head, with the words “Please scan your face to shop” displayed next to it.
Zhang Yang stared blankly, but his steps didn’t falter. Just as he was about to cross the vending machine and touch the doorknob, his body was stopped by an invisible wall. The impact was quite hard, leaving his nose slightly red and his face contorted in pain.
Fan Jialuo turned to look at the left wall, where a round wall clock hung, its hour and minute hands pointing precisely to 3:30.
At the same time, hundreds of thousands of people flooded into live stream room 6752 on the xx platform, with the number of viewers increasing by thousands or even tens of thousands every second. Fortunately, the platform had made ample preparations, which prevented the server from crashing.
Everyone wants to know who committed those three tragedies and why there are two Fan Jialuo in the world.
At 3:30, two figures appeared on the previously dark screen. One person sat calmly on the ground, while the other was punching the air violently, looking rather crazy.
【Is this person who’s gone crazy Zhang Yang? The most handsome rich second-generation? 】Soon, netizens recognized Zhang Yang.
【It’s him! Why is he in the same live stream room as Fan Jialuo? Where is the murderer? 】
This was probably a question everyone wanted to ask.
Fan Jialuo seemed to hear everyone’s questions, and slowly said, “You are the one who committed the murder.”
Viewers in the live stream: !!!
Police officers standing in the observation room: ? ? ?
The chief investigator realized that Zhang Yang had fallen into a trap and immediately ordered someone to open the interrogation room door to rescue him. Only then did they realize that despite their efforts, they were helpless to do anything but stare through an impenetrable barrier of air, watching Zhang Yang thrash around the narrow room like a caged animal.
He screamed, roared, kicked, and pounded, but nothing worked, he only injured himself. A few minutes ago, he was a well-dressed, elegant gentleman, a few minutes later, he was disheveled, covered in sweat, and looked as if he had rolled around on the ground in a sorry state.
The chief investigator unleashed his supernatural power to attack the layer of air, but was injured by the rebounding magnetic field.
His jaw loosened, and he nearly vomited blood. When he looked up, he saw that Fan Jialuo was still sitting in the same spot, looking so lazy and relaxed. Setting up such an unbreakable barrier, isolating everyone, seemed to be an easy task for him.
Only then did the chief investigator vaguely realize that even though he possessed strange abilities, entered another level, and became a higher life form different from ordinary people, he was still at the bottom of the food chain.
Looking at Zhang Yang, who was in a terrible state, and then looking back at Su Fengxi, who was dead, Ma You, who knelt down and apologized to the people of the whole country, and the disciples of the Tianshui Sect whose Taoist Temples had all been demolished…… it seemed that as long as they encountered Fan Jialuo, these arrogant and overbearing people would all be plunged into the abyss.
The chief investigator swallowed a mouthful of blood and abandoned the rescue.
Seeing these people retreat helplessly, heads bowed in dejection, Zhang Yang realized he couldn’t escape. He wiped his mouth, smoothed his hair, then turned around, a contemptuous smile on his face, “You say I’m the murderer? What evidence do you have?”
“The evidence will come, it just will take some time.” Fan Jialuo extended his hand, politely inviting, “Have a seat, let’s wait together.”
“Okay, I’ll wait with you.” Zhang Yang was relieved, thinking that he wanted to trap him here and let Meng Zhong and his men go outside to find evidence.
The most conclusive evidence is Fan Jialuo’s face. If this cannot be refuted, Meng Zhong and his group will not be able to make any waves.
Zhang Yang sat down with an air of nonchalance, his long legs crossed, his toes dangling back and forth, looking quite content. It was a pity that his earlier kicking had torn the toes of his shoes, this display only made his disheveled and pathetic state more obvious.
Fan Jialuo’s gaze followed his dusty trousers to the uneven, torn toe of his shoe. He didn’t say a word, but simply raised his eyebrows slightly. The sense of superiority created by his elegance and casualness was naturally revealed, forming a stark contrast with Zhang Yang’s bluff.
Zhang Yang’s shoe toes, which had been swaying back and forth, froze in mid-air.
Standing in the observation room, Song Rui pressed his fist to his lips and coughed softly.
Meng Zhong, however, lacked his composure. Pointing at the mirror opposite him, he chuckled and cursed, “Look at this piece of shit!”
The viewers in the live stream were amused, but still wondered: 【Zhang Yang is the murderer? Impossible! The face captured in the video is clearly that of Fan Jialuo! 】
【Teacher Fan never lies. Let’s wait and see. 】
So they waited for five days and five nights. People in the live stream came and went, only to see the two sitting face to face, silent, like two statues. What was even more terrifying was that they hadn’t eaten or drunk anything during this time, yet they remained conscious.
However, these two people were still different, and the differences were significant.
Fan Jialuo remained as handsome and languidly relaxed as ever. Zhang Yang, however, had deeply sunken cheeks, and his skin had become rough and dry at a visible pace, taut against his bony frame. He had clearly lost a lot of weight, his once-fitting suit now hung loosely, as if it would fall apart at the slightest touch.
Fan Jialuo held his hand in front of his face, sensing his movements as he whispered, “That drug caused your body’s cells to burn and regenerate continuously, leading to a complete transformation. Your metabolism is dozens, even hundreds of times faster than a normal person’s. If you don’t replenish enough energy in time, you’ll age into a skeleton, yet because of your mutation, you’ll always retain a breath of life. You can’t die, and you can’t live. How can I describe what you’ll look like then? Let me think——”
Fan Jialuo withdrew his hand, lowered his eyes and chuckled, “Old monster, is that title suitable for you?”
The words “old monster” were undoubtedly Zhang Yang’s sore spot, piercing his sensitive nerves like a sharp arrow. What he feared and resented most was becoming like that old monster. He suddenly stood up, intending to attack Fan Jialuo, but caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror out of the corner of his eye.
His deeply sunken eye sockets and cheeks sculpted his handsome face into a skull, his arms, emerging from his shirt sleeves, were as thin as two withered branches his skin was dry, sallow, and wrinkled, bearing a striking resemblance to the old monster he loathed most! In just five short days, he had become nothing but a skeleton!
He was terrified, and his weak body collapsed back down before he could even stand up straight.
He needs energy, lots and lots of energy!
Impatient netizens, seeing Zhang Yang’s terrifying appearance, were stunned. It took them a long time to type out a line of frantic text with trembling hands: 【Look at him! Doesn’t Zhang Yang, who’s become so thin, look just like the ghostly figure who committed the three massacres? I’m starting to really believe in Fan Jialuo now! 】
