Chapter 195: Have You Heard of Espers?
Kong Dongfang and Manager Ma coughed at the same time and consciously looked away.
After watching the surveillance footage, Huo Chen asked Manager Ma to call all the workers to his office.
After thoroughly understanding the situation, Huo Chen’s expression turned serious.
“We still need some time to investigate this matter. The two of you need to go to the police station with us to make a statement,” Huo Chen said to Quan Jue and Chi Jiao.
Just like that, they reported to the police station again.
Quan Jue and Chi Jiao were not in the same room when their statements were taken.
Huo Chen was in charge of taking Chi Jiao’s statement. He looked at the obedient girl sitting opposite him and coughed dryly. “Don’t be afraid, we will catch the murderer as soon as possible.”
Chi Jiao nodded. “I believe in the police.”
“Have you offended anyone recently?” Huo Chen asked.
Chi Jiao thought about it carefully and said, “Chi Yan, her mother, and Lan Yunhan should probably hate me more.”
Huo Chen recorded everything down and asked again, “Did you see the face of that shadow clearly?”
Chi Jiao thought for a while before replying with certainty, “That black shadow didn’t seem to have a face.”
“Aren’t you afraid?” Huo Chen was surprised that she could talk about the strange shadow so calmly.
Even if she was braver than the average person, she wouldn’t be so bold as to remain calm in the face of such an obvious supernatural event.
“I am. But what’s the use of being scared?” Chi Jiao looked straight at Huo Chen.
In her previous life, she only understood how useless her cowardice and fear were when she was about to die.
So why did she still want those unnecessary emotions?
Huo Chen stared into her eyes.
In those beautiful glass-like eyes, all he saw was a dark vortex that seemed to be able to suck away a person’s soul.
He was curious. What had this girl experienced to be able to face fear so calmly?
“Have you heard of Espers?” Huo Chen suddenly asked.
In front of the police, lying was not a smart thing to do, so Chi Jiao simply nodded and admitted it openly. “I’ve heard a little about them, but I don’t know if they really exist.”
“A few hundred years ago, a strange meteorite landed on the Blue Planet. That meteorite split into countless small pieces overnight and they all disappeared mysteriously. From then on, Espers began to appear. Espers’ physical fitness exceeds that of ordinary people. They also have superpowers that are similar to magic. For example, Jin Yiming. He’s an Esper.” Huo Chen said slowly, “What I’m telling you is confidential because the black shadow that attacked you and Quan Jue is an Esper as well. As victims, you have the right to know the truth, but you also have the obligation to keep it a secret. Do you understand?”
Chi Jiao nodded.
She already knew everything Huo Chen said.
She herself was an Esper, but it was just that she had two Esper abilities.
One of them was photographic memory, while the other was the ability to search for one’s memories and future through blood.
In this world, many people thought that Espers were just a legend. Those who really knew about their existence, apart from the Espers themselves, were few and far between.
“You and Quan Jue need to be careful. If you’re being targeted by an Esper, it is a lot more dangerous,” Huo Chen said with a serious expression. “We will find the murderer as soon as possible.”
