"That's enough."
Qi Xia interrupted Officer Li's speech.
"Officer Li, on what grounds do you want to save everyone? For the sake of these strangers you've only just met, are you willing to let yourself die time and time again?"
Officer Li smiled faintly, took out another cigarette, and lit it.
"That's not the right way to put it."
He shook his head and said, "I'm a detective. How can I only help people I know? To me, all the victims in this world are strangers I've just met, but I will definitely risk my life to protect them.
It's as simple as that."
"In any case, I don't agree," Qi Xia said.
"Your 'echo' ability is just my speculation. Whether you can actually conjure objects at will is completely unknown. What if you can only produce lighters and cigarettes?"
"Then we haven't lost anything," Officer Li replied.
