Correct the Past to Prevent Future Mistakes
He did not relax his guard in the slightest just because a familiar face had appeared. The first thing to enter the office was a mutated bullet blazing out of the barrel!
The loud explosion even drowned out the wailing from the corridor.
The bullet tore through the air. The mercury seal released, and within those ten steps, the condensed mutagenic matter traced a brief straight line before smashing against an invisible barrier. It rapidly dispersed, yet failed to form any contamination, vanishing without a trace as though something invisible had absorbed it.
It had been blocked!
Ji Jue frowned—this was the problem with mutated bullets. Their properties were too unstable. Once the primer ignited on impact, they activated rapidly; beyond ten steps, they easily dispersed and could no longer inflict damage. And since they were essentially bone ash, their penetrating power was insufficient. Even bulletproof vests could stop them.
His own skill was still too limited. He could not stabilize their properties so that they would not be triggered by the primer's impact, yet would rapidly activate and spread once they entered a human body.
And at this moment, seeing Ji Jue fire without hesitation, the figure who had suddenly appeared immediately screamed, instinctively clutching her head and crouching down. Her crying was even louder than the gunshot.
It made Ji Jue's ears ache sharply.
Still, this gear did seem familiar...
"Ahhh, help!" Tong Hua shouted with her head covered. "It's really me! It's me!"
Seeing that she made no other move, Ji Jue was slightly taken aback. At the same time, he strode forward, crossing the former barrier's boundary, pressed the muzzle against her forehead, and fired off questions like a string of cannonballs. "What's Wen Jie's full name?"
"Wen Wen!"
