Chapter 450: Stay in the Investigation Bureau
Su Ming looked up suddenly, caught off guard.
But Su Ming immediately understood Jiang Yichuan's thoughts.
Jiang Yichuang joined the Investigation Bureau originally for revenge, but now that things have come to this, revenge in every sense is over.
Perhaps in the future he will continue to seek revenge against those evil cults with Jiang Xueying, but at least the road of revenge in the first half of his life has come to an end at this moment.
Su Ming glanced at Jiang Yichuan, hesitated for a moment, and waved, "Captain, come out with me."
Jiang Yichuang looked back at Su Ming, then silently walked out of the house with Su Ming.
"What's wrong?"
"Captain, are you going to take revenge on the cult with your sister next?" Su Ming asked.
"Um."
"But this is not a good idea. The risk is too great because of the contract. You've seen your sister's attitude. It would only take a few minutes for her to sell you out when the time comes."
"It doesn't matter."
The two were silent.
In the night, the backs of the two people leaning against the wall turned into a gray silhouette, and the atmosphere was inexplicably heavy.
After a while, Su Ming spoke again: "I know you don't care, but if you die, your sister will lose control of her emotions. What if the Devil of Love breaks out of the Investigation Bureau's custody? Who will be responsible for the casualties caused by that time?"
Jiang Yichuang was silent. When talking about the sacrifices of others, he had to carefully consider his previous decision. He could not ignore the safety of other innocent people because of his personal wishes.
The situations Su Ming described were not made up; they were all completely possible, and there was even a high probability that such situations would occur.
"Stay in the Investigation Bureau. You don't have to follow her to help her. The Bureau's intelligence gathering capabilities are not weak. What's more, your target, the Chaos Demon, is also a target that the Bureau has to deal with at any time. Your interests overlap. After you talk to the minister, he will definitely give you other privileges." Su Ming proposed a new plan.
Jiang Yichuan pondered for a moment and nodded.
"Indeed, perhaps this is better than following my sister."
Su Ming breathed a sigh of relief. This was a disguised way of reducing the risk of the demon going out of control, and it also suppressed the spark of a crisis.
Su Ming and Jiang Yichuan returned to the house and told Jiang Xueying about the new plan. Jiang Xueying didn't say anything after listening to it, but just nodded. It was impossible to tell from her face whether she was disappointed or happy. It seemed that she didn't care at all whether Jiang Yichuan was with her or not.
"Give me your four nails. Maybe they will be useful in the future." Jiang Xueying asked Jiang Yichuan openly.
"No, this thing is a level 3 containment item of the Investigation Bureau. I must take it back before I can report back." Jiang Yichuang rejected the other party coldly.
"Tsk!" Jiang Xueying frowned unhappily. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something sarcastic, but when she thought of Su Ming who was still present, she suppressed the urge to mock him.
Then, perhaps because he felt that he had caused so much trouble for Jiang Xueying but was of no help, Jiang Yichuan thought for a while and added stiffly:
"After I return, I will ask the Minister to search the electronic files of the Alliance for all clues about the target. As long as the other party has been active over the years, it should not be fruitless. I will inform you as soon as there is any news."
"I get it. As long as you don't bring people to kill me, I'll be thankful." Jiang Xueying sneered, not realizing that she couldn't help but insult Jiang Yichuan.
Jiang Yichuang had a stern face and kept his mouth shut without saying a word.
Jiang Xueying: "Okay, now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, can you help me kill the Iron Demon here?"
"Does this have anything to do with revenge?" Su Ming asked.
"I came here because I felt there was a chaotic atmosphere on Molten Iron Island. There should be a demon here who has a fragment of the Chaos Demon. I want to get that fragment to increase my perception range and sensing ability." Jiang Xueying said, "Since you work for the Alliance, you must know this, right?"
Su Ming nodded slightly, indicating that he knew a little about it.
He had heard from his master about the characteristics of a chaos demon. A chaos demon was a demon without self-awareness, or even a group of demons.
But because its fragments are integrated, the Alliance theoretically regards these creatures with chaos fragments, each of which has consciousness, as part of the Chaos Demon. Creatures with Chaos fragments will inherit the demonic power contained in the magic core fragments, and can also sense the existence of other fragments.
They have the ability to devour and fuse with each other. Back then on Houying Island, Su Ming witnessed with his own eyes the strange white dragon swallowing up the chaotic fragments of the strange red arms.
Jiang Xueying searched for and collected these fragments in order to increase her perception range and to make it easier to find the culprit who seduced her parents.
To be honest, Su Ming felt that Jiang Xueying's method of searching for the murderer was very backward. It was a bit like the officials in ancient times who traveled around the country holding portraits and went door to door to ask for clues about the fugitive. It was too down-to-earth and gave people a stupid impression.
But if Su Ming were asked to come up with a better solution now, he really couldn't think of one.
He also has things to do, so it is impossible for him to keep helping Jiang Yichuan hunt down his enemies.
As a friend, that's all he can do.
"After we find the clues about the demon and kill him, we will go to the Investigation Bureau. What do you think, Captain?" Su Ming turned his head to ask Jiang Yichuang for his opinion.
Jiang Yichuan nodded: "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Jiang Yichuan felt a little shy, but it didn't show on his face at all.
He forgot how long it had been since he had felt any emotional feedback from the outside world. Everyone around him was indifferent to him. It was a pure colleague relationship that couldn't be more pure. Apart from work and when he needed help, no one would think of him.
But now, he has a true friend, Su Ming is his destined best friend.
Su Ming didn't notice Jiang Yichuang's little emotions. He put one hand on Jiang Xueying's body and the other hand on his mouth, sucking his own blood. At the same time, he activated the Bone Demon's life force and Xia Xiaoyu's exclusive power to weaken and transfer his injuries.
It took him a long time to treat the injuries of the three people. During the whole process, Su Ming helped so much that the others were completely unable to help.
After waiting for an hour, Su Ming finally treated the injuries of the three people. Although it took a long time, compared to when he first got Xia Xiaoyu's exclusive power, his speed of transferring injuries was now incredibly fast. This was a peak level that the original owner of this power could never achieve.
During the whole process, Jiang Xueying became more and more stunned, and in the end, the way she looked at Su Ming was different.
She had every reason to suspect that Su Ming was not a human being at all, but a monster or a demon.
Because even if he is a composite psychic, it is impossible for him to have so many messy powers, such as recovery, injury transfer, fire, and the magical properties of bones. Each power is almost not of the same category.
From what Jiang Xueying had seen and heard, the person with the most superpowers in the world who is currently known to the public is a psychic with six superpowers. Five of his superpowers are elemental, and each superpower is very weak, so the chance of fusion is high.
As for the last power, it is the most common enhancement power.
That person represents the limit of superpower combination that eugenics can currently achieve, and is the greatest compromise between the power and type of superpowers themselves.
But the supernatural powers that Su Ming just displayed, not to mention six, there were at least four or five, each of which was very powerful, and... they were all of a different kind.
"Are you...are you a compound mutant?" Jiang Xueying finally couldn't help but ask.
"No, my ability is to take away other people's abilities." Su Ming said.
"Seize other people's superpowers?! There is such a superpower?!" Jiang Xueying was shocked and her voice became a little louder.
Su Ming glanced at the other person calmly, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "I thought I was very famous. After all, my bounty was ridiculously high before."
Jiang Xueying shook her head: "I don't pay much attention to these."
After she finished speaking, she raised her hand, and fine sand gathered in the air, turning into a thin piece of rock with some words and numbers appearing on it.
Jiang Xueying made a business card out of sand and handed it to Su Ming: "This is my email address and free platform account. Please contact me anytime if you have any news."
She watched Su Ming take the business card from her hand, thinking in her heart that she had to find a way to get Su Ming to help her with revenge. If Su Ming could become her helper, he would be worth ten Jiang Yichuangs.
Judging from Su Ming's personality, he doesn't seem like the kind of person who sticks to the old ways and stubbornly regards weird people as enemies. If their interests coincide, he might not necessarily help her.
"I'm going to collect the bodies of my men. Goodbye." Jiang Xueying stood up shakily, held onto the door frame and walked out of the house. She and Lei Qianxin disappeared into the night.
Jiang Yichuang looked at the direction Jiang Xueying left with a deep look in his eyes.
Su Ming glanced at Jiang Yichuan, ignored him, took out his cell phone, went out and called Xia Xiaoyu.
Just now, he came up with a good idea.
He planned to go back and sleep with Xia Xiaoyu immediately.
…
At this moment, Xia Xiaoyu had just defeated a "strong enemy".
Xia Xiaoyu put one foot on the dead man's back and stabbed the knife into his neck, severing his spine. She was panting and sweating all over.
The battle was fierce, but there was no danger or difficulty. If Xia Xiaoyu had not insisted on prolonging the battle and practicing her fighting skills against the demon, she could have ended the battle within five minutes of meeting the opponent.
If I'm not mistaken, the guy who was killed by her a few seconds ago should be the contractor of the Iron Devil, and it's a deep contract. His spirit has begun to deviate from human, so he can sense Xia Xiaoyu's existence.
The appearance of this strong rival just met Xia Xiaoyu's purpose of truly practicing, but unfortunately this strong rival's inhumanity was not up to the mark. He could only hear the sounds Xia Xiaoyu made, and only sounds made within a certain range could be heard by him.
So this powerful enemy was finally treated like a wooden man and chopped down.
The only thing worth being happy about is that the opponent's defense has allowed Xia Xiaoyu to have a deeper understanding of the control of empowerment skills. Overall, it can be considered a small improvement!
The cell phone in his pocket rang. Xia Xiaoyu pulled the knife out from the demon's back, rubbed it on the demon's body, inserted it into the scabbard, then turned the whole knife around his wrist and very casually stuffed it into storage box No. 7 with his backhand.
"Darling, have you dealt with it?" Xia Xiaoyu answered the phone happily.
"Well, I'll be back soon."
"Nothing unexpected happened ?"
"Nothing happened, everything went smoothly."
"OK! Can we go back and rest now?"
"Go back and go to bed early."
Hearing this, Xia Xiaoyu frowned, realizing that things were not that simple. Although it was indeed a little late, it was much earlier than the usual bedtime. If she went to bed directly, her sleep quality would deteriorate. Should she relax a little before going to bed?
Xia Xiaoyu was about to discuss with Su Ming, but suddenly she thought that Su Ming must be very tired after such a fierce battle tonight. As a gentle and considerate wife, she should let her husband rest . With this in mind, she agreed: "Well, go back and take a shower and go to bed."
…
Su Ming and Jiang Yichuan returned to the royal city together. On the way, they met the investigation task force who were arriving slowly. After the two sides exchanged information with each other, the task force expressed their sincere gratitude and respect to Jiang Yichuan and Su Ming.
Jiang Yichuan's mission here was to hunt down the Demon of Love, but several Demons of Iron died in the process, which means that the Iron Smelting Royal Family made a profit this time.
Although the other party's thanks and compliments made him feel taken advantage of, Jiang Yichuang was in a good mood. He was usually a worker who was exploited, so he didn't feel unhappy at all. Instead, Su Ming next to him stood on Jiang Yichuang's side and criticized the other party a few words.
As an enthusiastic listener, Xia Xiaoyu learned from Su Ming about the unfounded grudge between Jiang Xueying and Jiang Yichuan, and was deeply moved.
"This is fate. Fortunately, you are here, otherwise the captain and his sister would really be finished. You are such a special person. If I hadn't met you, I would not know where I am now. Such a life must be very boring." Xia Xiaoyu flattered Su Ming and hugged his arm tightly with both hands, looking very affectionate.
Su Ming stared straight ahead with a dull look in his eyes.
He didn't hear what Xia Xiaoyu said just now. At this moment, his mind was full of messy plans. If this matter didn't have to be done slowly, he would have wanted to hug Xia Xiaoyu and fly to the bedroom to sleep.
There are special provisions in the contracts of the members of the Mysterious Eye, which prohibit them from harming other contractors in any way, and they cannot disclose the identities of insiders to irrelevant parties. This makes the Mysterious Eye a completely closed group that will never have traitors. Even the former supreme ruler, Xia Xiaoyu, who was called the Queen, is no exception.
But not being able to leak it does not mean that it cannot be investigated!
Xia Xiaoyu’s memory was sealed before, so she had no information about the mysterious eye in her mind.
But it’s different now. Xia Xiaoyu has recovered all her memories. Su Ming can fully utilize the characteristics of [Dream Pupils] to sneak into Xia Xiaoyu’s dreams and spy on the identities of those members!
