Chapter 179 Differential Treatment
Jiang Xingni's special ability is, after all, the Eye of Truth.
The scene before her vanished the instant the gold slowly flowed in her eyes.
Whether it's desolate ruins or upside-down, consumed corpses.
It was the same large black man we'd seen before, who could only hover inside the doorway because of his enormous size.
Everything vanished like bubbles, as if erased by an eraser in Jiang Xingni's eyes.
When the chaotic colors on Xie Yungui's face were restored, it was as if the bones and flesh that had been crushed together were being sorted out and placed back in their rightful places. Jiang Xingni smiled gently at Xie Yungui.
She touched the corner of her eye with her fingertip.
"Don't worry," she said softly, a faint smile on her lips. "I'm fine."
The only question that piqued her curiosity was whether the future this monster presented to its host was something it foresaw, or, in some sense, something it revealed to them from the deepest fears within each person's heart.
Just like the first host that Jiang Xingni knew, what she feared was probably her own death, but before she died, she saw something under the influence of the monster, and her face before death was peaceful.
When it came to Shi Nian'an, the threatening element in the text message diminished, and it became more about deceiving the world in the eyes of the young girl. After learning that she was sick, Shi Nian'an's biggest fear was probably being abandoned by her mother, so what she saw at this moment was also that kind of scene.
But Jiang Xingni was unaware that he was afraid of this desolate world and the dead humans—could it be something implied behind these things? Jiang Xingni couldn't guess.
Furthermore, given that the initial speculation about this strange creature was related to precognition, Jiang Xingni could not rule out the possibility that the other party actually foresaw the future world would turn out the way he saw it.
How much impact does it have on reality?
Before Jiang Xingni and Xie Yungui could even guess the answers to these questions, they noticed that on the other side, after Jiang Xingni took out the strange object, Shi Nian'an blinked groggily, then leaned back and drifted off to sleep.
Before the police could even grab the girl who was so close to them, Shi Nian'an was forcibly taken away by Cui Xiufen.
"What did you do to my daughter?" She frantically picked up her daughter, her eyes filled with shock and anger as she looked at Jiang Xingni.
That's good now.
Jiang Xingni thought to himself.
It wasn't just because the child was talking nonsense about schizophrenia; even the biological mother felt like she was a child trafficker and wanted to do something bad to her daughter.
She sighed softly, "Shi Nian'an is just asleep."
Jiang Xingni spoke calmly.
Cui Xiufen glanced at Jiang Xing with a hint of disbelief, then turned and hugged the policeman's arm: "You saw it, you saw it, didn't you?"
"She just touched my daughter, and then my daughter suddenly collapsed!!"
The policeman was jolted by her grip and was about to say something to comfort her when he saw her release her grip after saying just one sentence and then stare at him.
"No, I saw it! You were the one who handed my daughter to her!"
Cui Xiufen shouted, "You're in cahoots with her! None of you are leaving here. After I get my daughter back to her ward, I'm calling the police!"
The police could only accept their bad luck—anyone on duty would be unlucky to encounter this situation today, it just so happened that they were the ones who got caught up in it.
She looked up and met Jiang Xingni's gaze, who was observing her.
The police remembered that Jiang Xingni touched Shi Nian'an's face, but to be honest, the reason she allowed Jiang Xingni to touch her, instead of immediately shielding Shi Nian'an behind her the moment Jiang Xingni reached out, was partly because the police still believed the ID Jiang Xingni had shown.
If the police hadn't checked Shi Nian'an's condition the moment they pulled her into their arms, she wouldn't be so calm now.
"Don't worry, comrade." She smiled wryly, her expression showing little resentment, and simply nodded quietly. "I'll go with you, and I'll take these two people with me. What do you think?"
Cui Xiufen ignored the two people and ran straight into the hospital building with her daughter in her arms.
Fortunately, having run down from the 21st floor, the young Shi Nian'an didn't have much strength left to run any further. So, at that moment, Cui Xiufen wanted to simply carry her daughter back, which wouldn't require much effort.
The police, Jiang Xing, Xie Yungui, and the other two followed closely behind Cui Xiufen.
Noticing the police's gaze, Jiang Xingni and Xie Yungui exchanged a glance, deciding not to continue discussing the strange phenomena.
Then they heard the other person's question.
"Are you really from Bureau 749?" The police officer couldn't contain his curiosity and quietly leaned closer, asking in a low voice.
Although the girl in front of him was wearing a police uniform, she wasn't much older than Jiang Xingni.
Within the scope of their duties, they can maintain a serious demeanor, but at times like these, their curiosity kicks in.
Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Jiang Xingni: "You guys don't have some kind of confidentiality agreement, do you? Don't worry, I'm tight-lipped!"
Jiang Xingni smiled at her as well: "They're just some special departments."
Xie Yungui leaned against the corner of the wall and watched her—then Jiang Xingni nudged him in the waist with her elbow and made him stand up properly.
"You'll find out later," Xie Yungui said mysteriously.
Jiang Xingni glanced at Xie Yungui as if she understood something, then looked at the police officer, who was covering her mouth, looking as if she had discovered some incredible secret.
Jiang Xingni chuckled to himself.
—How can it not be considered an incredible secret?
She thought to herself that the police were still gloating over knowing the truth, but once the whole incident was resolved, someone would naturally take care of cleaning up the mess and erasing all their memories.
Just like the students at the Fourth Middle School that Jiang Xingni had once seen.
Of course, she wouldn't go undercover and directly confront the police to expose the whole story.
Although the idea behind the pseudonym is that the supernatural should be known by everyone, Jiang Xingni fully admits that directly revealing it would still cause panic.
Moreover, the police officer was merely a passerby who happened to be involved in the whole incident; she was neither a victim nor a victim of persecution, but rather someone who was completely ignorant.
She is also a defender of this system.
Jiang Xingni had no plans to be labeled as an illegal organization or cult, or to be besieged and suppressed.
Jiang Xingnian then winked at the other party, confirming Xie Yungui's statement.
"We're just carrying out a mission."
