All My Superpowers Come from the Law of Causality-Chapter 43: My Advantage Is the System

"..."

Fang Keyi was silent for a moment.

He never expected that among the people he killed, there would be a friend of his daughter. That was one thing, but it didn’t matter to him who the person was; the key was that they had come to him for help.

This was truly...

"Dad?"

At this moment, Fang Mengzhu asked again.

Fang Keyi said indifferently, "Okay, I’ll have someone sort out the information and send it to you shortly."

If through this information they could find him, the authorities would have already come to arrest him. After all, this incident caused a significant stir throughout Lening City’s upper echelons, especially among the police’s high ranks. They had convened all major associations right after the incident, expressing their stance with a show of both kindness and force, demanding that everyone provide any possible clues and promising considerable rewards.

But so what?

He handled everything cleanly, disposing of the car and weapons immediately, and appeasing the involved subordinates with various benefits. In the short term, it was almost impossible for anyone to trace it back to him.

Of course, such a large operation would surely leave some clues within the organization.

But as long as he could hold out for a day or two, the Nirvana Association would help him escape far, starting anew in another place with a new identity.

By that time.

It wouldn’t even matter if they found out it was him.

To cover everything as much as possible, he didn’t arrange for his family to leave, nor did he show any specific reactions. In the short term, no one could notice anything unusual about him.

Especially not an ordinary person like Su Xin?

What difference would it make to give him the information?

"Huh? Su Xin?"

"This name... sounds a bit familiar."

Fang Keyi murmured.

He had previously investigated the information of core employees of Kangbo Biological Company, including family members, addresses, relatives, past experiences, etc., and had considered using the abduction of family members to coerce cooperation, though he eventually abandoned these risky plans.

After thinking for a while, he remembered.

"Su Xin, isn’t he a high school student?"

"Uh... yes."

Fang Mengzhu replied hesitantly, afraid to ask her father how he knew these things, fearing he might question how she became friends with a high school student.

Luckily, Fang Keyi just asked offhandedly. Upon learning that it was indeed a high school student, he arranged for his subordinates to compile information to send to her more assuredly.

...

In the dark hallway.

Su Xin used his phone’s light to make his way up to the fifth floor, only to find the hallway blocked by solidified, melted rocks of various strange shapes, finally using his instant teleportation ability to reach the rooftop.

But even after carefully searching all corners, he couldn’t find any useful clues.

"Indeed, with such a major case, the police would have collected all the clues before leaving."

Su Xin shook his head helplessly.

After instant teleporting back to the fifth-floor staircase, he walked downstep by step, unwilling to give up, and searched carefully again.

But still found nothing.

Sitting by the flowerbed by the roadside, looking at the chaotic street, Su Xin’s gaze gradually became confused.

Since awakening his abilities, his inner self hadn’t really changed much; he was still an ordinary person at heart. Even if he had crossed over and reborn, even with a total of over forty years of experience, he had never faced such an event and didn’t know how to handle it for a while.

"I’m not some child of destiny, just a regular person who happened to cross over and activate a system."

This thought inexplicably flashed through Su Xin’s mind.

He smiled bitterly, secretly mocking himself:

"Without the system, without parents, without memories of my past life, I would just be the most ordinary person among the masses."

"I’m such a failure!"

"I’ve spent so many years just enjoying life, and when confronted with difficulties, I can only helplessly wait for others to investigate, unable to do anything."

While Su Xin was wallowing in despair.

A loud phone ringtone jolted him back to reality. Seeing the caller ID, he quickly chose to answer.

"Mengzhu! How is it?"

"My dad already asked his people to send it to me. I’ll send it to you on Linxun right away."

"Okay, okay, okay!"

"Yeah, I’ll send it now. By the way, where are you? I’m a bit worried about you and want to come over and keep you company. Is that okay?"

"It’s very late now, I’m outside..."

"I’m really worried about you. I won’t be able to sleep if I can’t see you. Let me come over and stay with you, okay?"

"No!"

Su Xin firmly refused.

Once he got the information, he planned to transform into the black-robed man tonight and randomly target some forces. Having Fang Mengzhu around would prevent him from acting.

But at this point, Fang Mengzhu said:

"Then I can’t send you the information. I know you’ll definitely act alone. Sending it to you is like harming you, unless you let me stay with you."

"..."

Su Xin was silent.

He didn’t actually have deep feelings for Fang Mengzhu. Initially, upon learning about her unusual family, he didn’t want much contact with her.

That day at the shooting range, when they met by chance, she actively wanted to be friends. Her straightforward personality was indeed likable to him, and her appearance and figure were impeccable, making him suddenly think of trying a relationship with her.

It wasn’t considered playing her.

But it wasn’t very serious either.

Just carrying a playful attitude, wanting to date her and see how it would go.

It wasn’t until this moment that he genuinely felt more recognition and liking for Fang Mengzhu.

People are most vulnerable to emotions when they’re weak.

Both men and women, it’s the same.

From this moment on, Fang Mengzhu’s show of care and concern truly began to enter Su Xin’s heart.

"Okay, you can come over."

After some thought, Su Xin said, "But you can just keep me company briefly. You still have to go home later, okay?"

"Then promise me you won’t do anything foolish."

"Okay, I promise you."

Su Xin responded firmly.

After hanging up the call, as Su Xin was ready to get up and leave, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly spotted a glint of gold in the flowerbed.

"Huh?"

Upon closer inspection, Su Xin found a shell casing quietly lying beneath a leaf, revealing a small portion of its golden tail.

Based on news reports, the culprits had deployed over ten people, using submachine guns and grenades. With such firepower, they must have fired many bullets. This lone casing should not be a significant clue, but Su Xin picked it up.

Immediately, the system rang a prompt.

"Ding! [Cunning and Robbery] progress +1."

Su Xin quickly thought:

"Turns out even picking up counts as a method."

He checked the task panel.

[Cunning and Robbery: Obtain ownership of five items from others in different ways.]

[Current progress: 3/5.]

[Task reward: One awakening opportunity.]

At this moment.

A flash of insight struck Su Xin’s mind.

Indeed, he’s not particularly capable. Without considering the system’s existence and memories of his past life, he’s at most just an ordinary person.

But so what?

Regardless of the reasons, he indeed has memories of his past life, and he indeed has a system.

These are his advantages. Why dismiss them and evaluate himself aside from these?

"Since my advantage is the system, I should fully utilize the system’s capabilities to investigate."

"Concealment Prayer and Unyielding Dead, these two abilities, don’t directly help the investigation for now, so I could try completing the task first. Maybe the third ability will have some miraculous effect."

Su Xin’s eyes began to brighten.
