Chapter 254 It Happens to Us

"2019." Chen Ke replied.

"2019... You are the most recent Foundation agent I have ever seen..." Pan Jiya said.

Chen Ke glanced at the watch on Pan Jiya's wrist and knew that Pan Jiya must have misunderstood something.

"When did you know about it?" Chen Ke asked.

"After the biscuit factory incident, I should have known it a long time ago, otherwise I would not have fallen to this point." Pan Jiya shook his head.

"How many psychic killers did you mobilize from the consortium that night? Just because of this consortium, you want to get rid of you? That's too stingy." Chen Ke said.

"No, the reason is not how many people were lost, but because of you, Chen Ke, I let the consortium's killers and Asra's people directly confront each other, this is the most important thing!" Pan Jiya said.

Chen Ke snorted coldly. The consortium and Asra have always maintained a fragile cooperative relationship. That night, he led the consortium killers, Asra's weirdos, and the people of the Administration to one place with one shot, and started a three-way fight.

"Without those silent witches, the consortium can no longer use the blasphemous dagger to open the door. We have to find other ways." Pankia said.

"What exactly is the consortium looking for in the Great Void...?" Chen Ke asked.

"Don't pretend to be confused... You are an agent of the Foundation. I don't know how you traveled to Lin Mo's body, but you must understand how precious the things you can get by completing the complete cycle of the Great Void are." Pankia said.

"... Well... This is also what I am worried about. That night you sent people in, and then someone named Miles betrayed you, and seemed to want to get that thing." Chen Ke said.

"He is an idiot. The real psychic power does not come from holy objects and miracles, but something more essential. Miles went astray from Asra." Pankia said.

"So he was deformed, and he drank the blood of the decapitated girl..." Chen Ke said.

"The cycle is impossible to complete, because no one has the power to complete the cycle, not even your foundation. You have more advanced methods of using psychic energy, but you are helpless against the Great Void." Pankia said.

"What is the life countdown... Have you heard of this thing?" Chen Ke asked.

"I don't know, I've never heard of it, I don't know what you are talking about, you asked me this at the beginning, is this important?" Pan Jiya said.

"Well... Are you sure you didn't lie to me?" Chen Ke asked back.

"Slaley is still in your hands, Chen Ke. I can't lie to you." Pan Jiya said.

"Don't make me sound like a kidnapper. Pan Jiya, how many Foundation agents have you met, what have they told you?" Chen Ke asked.

"Not many, just four. And they are not here to see me, but to meet my grandfather." Pan Jiya said.

"Grandfather..." Chen Ke was stunned.

"The founder of the Si Consortium. God knows how long he has lived. It seems that you are not companions with those Foundation agents. What is your purpose?" Pan Jiya asked.

"Tell me what they want first. Is it related to the green sacred diamond?" Chen Ke asked with an idea.

"In fact, the stone was given to my grandfather by them for temporary safekeeping, but unfortunately, it was stolen." Pan Jiya said.

"What years did those four agents come from?" Chen Ke asked.

"Much further back than you. Although I don't know the exact year, you obviously don't have their equipment... Maybe it's because you borrowed Lin Mo's body..." Pan Jiya said.

Chen Ke crossed his fingers and secretly wondered what kind of organization the Foundation was. It seemed that their people could travel through time and space freely.

He suddenly remembered the man called the professor who had been killed earlier. He seemed to work for the Foundation...

What time, the green holy diamond, the founder, the Foundation... These information are entangled together, forming a mystery far more complicated than the consortium and Asra.

This mystery travels through time and space, and may involve the fate of mankind in the past and future...

But what does it have to do with him?

"In short, you really haven't heard of the life countdown...?" Chen Ke asked, he only cared about this.

The difference is that before, he wanted to remove it, and now he wants to know the origin and details of this thing.

"I haven't heard of it, but I think my grandfather must know something, if you are willing to ask him..." Pan Jiya said.

"Grandfather... where is he...?" Chen Ke asked.

"Have you noticed the black building of the S's Consortium in Opportunity City? If you are lucky, you can see him in the office on the top floor, but under normal circumstances, you can't find him. Because he is too old... He can only recuperate in his own manor." Pan Jiya shook his head.

"Where is his manor?" Chen Ke asked.

"Even if I were there, I wouldn't know that. I've answered enough questions. Where is Shreli?" Pan Jiya said.

Chen Ke took out his cell phone and called Shreli. After a while, there was a knock on the door.

Pan Jiya picked up the shotgun, but he didn't really trust Chen Ke. He went to the door cautiously and quietly opened it a crack.

"Dad!" Shreli called out from outside the door.

Pan Jiya immediately opened the door, put the shotgun aside, and held Shreli in his arms.

"Little guy..." Pan Jiya's voice became gentle, completely different from the emphasis when he spoke to Chen Ke. There was no cunning and threatening tone, only pampering.

"Dad, what's going on! Suddenly a bunch of killers rushed into the house, and you didn't answer my call." Shreli asked.

Pankia took off Shreli's aviator sunglasses, saw her dark purple cheeks, and looked back at Chen Ke angrily.

"Did he hit you?" Pankia asked.

"You have to ask those killers. If it weren't for him, I would be dead." Shreli said.

Pankia pursed her lips, nodded to Chen Ke, and said, "Thank you."

Chen Ke spread his hands and said, "It's strange, Pankia, you are not a likable guy, and you want to kill me, but I don't hate you."

"It's not me who wants to kill you, Chen Ke. It's the rules, some rules can't accommodate you. I'm just the hand manipulated by the rules. This is how the world works. I won't apologize for what I have done." Pankia said.

Chen Ke didn't say anything. This is a very realistic thing, just like he wouldn't feel guilty for killing so many people.

The world of people is gray, and dirty deeds will never cease. However, these bloody affairs under the table allow the society on the surface to maintain the most basic decency.

"This kind of thing will always happen, but it just happens to be in our hands." Pankia said.

"What about now...?" Chen Ke said.

"I will take my daughter away from this country. I have accumulated a sum of savings, enough to live a new life in anonymity." Pankia said.

Shreli looked at Pankia and then at Chen Ke, not knowing what they were talking about.

Chen Ke looked at Pankia and gave up the idea of ​​shooting. Pankia was not his end, and the secret of the countdown of life was still unsolved.

The hatred between him and Pankia was not resolved, but for some reason, neither of them had the motivation to kill each other.

As Pankia said, the deadly thing is the rules under the table, but these things just happened to be in their hands.
