Chapter 303 A Gift for You
He Jingtong glanced at Jiang Xingni but did not answer her question.
Although he could recognize Jiang Xingni from the familiar physical techniques he knew, he was still a little unaccustomed to the deep voice that was altered and was neither male nor female.
—Especially when you connect this voice with Jiang Xingni.
He was still not used to Jiang Xingni's new image. It wasn't that he thought Jiang Xingni should stay in the same place looking beautiful, but rather that she was really not suited to hiding her identity, concealing her appearance and voice, and pretending to be someone else.
He Jingtong only had the idea of returning to VOID after he made contact with the boss in the instance.
Although VOID did send many people into the instance, treating them all as hidden agents planted within it, the same problem also occurred within VOID.
The outside world of the instance is usually isolated, which means that the arrangements these people make within the instance are unknown to He Jingtong from the outside world—even though they are colleagues in a sense.
It wasn't until he, as the prosecutor, examined the arrangements made during this period that he learned what VOID had been doing in this instance over the years, and what they were planning to do this time.
The first time he learned that Lu Xianqing, as a superhuman, was also their creation, an experimental product created by collaborating with the two adjacent divisions without the knowledge of the VOID's upper echelons.
Knowing that He Jingtong had come down to inspect as a high-ranking official, and realizing that they couldn't hide it any longer, they could only try to cover up the whole thing.
The method for balancing accounts is being generated...
So they came up with an idea.
Sending Lu Xianqing to kill Jiang Xingni would trap Lu Xianqing there, even if Jiang Xingni didn't die. Whether Jiang Xingni was dead or alive, Lu Xianqing would be successfully entangled by them.
If Jiang Xingni doesn't die, she will be tasked with targeting Jiang Xingni. If Jiang Xingni happens to die in the battle with Lu Xianqing—and also in the real world outside—then Lu Xianqing will definitely be entangled by Jiang Xingni's other teammates and will have no chance to escape.
As long as Lu Xianqing himself is not here, they can come up with another story to make the higher-ups ignore the matter and thus gloss over it.
As for Xiao Jiming, as the only ordinary person they trained and transformed into a superhuman, every department and every division would keep an eye on him, testing his current performance to see if the difference between his original ordinary body and his current abilities would lead to a short lifespan.
Even now, the prosecutor, outwardly, still associates with Xiao Jiming and his team, and remains one of them.
To be honest, it would be a lie to say that he had no feelings for Xiao Jiming and the others after spending so much time with them.
VOID had already asked how long He Jingtong would stay there and when he would be willing to come back—after all, he still had a lot of work to do, and because of his departure, these tasks had piled up for quite some time.
He Jingtong had only one answer to these questions—to postpone them if possible.
He had already decided that he would talk about it after the winter break, or after the final exams, and that he would talk about it after the summer break.
The excuses he used included, but were not limited to, that he could stay by Xiao Jiming's side to observe their development, take the opportunity to gather intelligence, and focus on how the authorities would deal with VOID, etc.
Although these excuses sound reasonable, He Jingtong's true purpose, which he concealed behind them, has long been self-evident.
Only now has He Jingtong finally considered leaving the option.
Putting everything else aside, if he were to return to VOID, he would definitely stop the organization from trying to kill Jiang Xingni—Jiang Xingni wasn't a significant enemy to VOID, and they already had Xiao Jiming as a test subject; there was no need to add Jiang Xingni to the mix.
When VOID wanted to kill Xiao Jiming and cause him trouble, to see how far he had grown, He Jingtong never tried to stop him.
Jiang Xingni secretly rested her chin on her hand, which was hidden under her cloak, looking thoughtful.
Alright! It seems He Jingtong will be back in VOID soon, and his reaction clearly shows he's willing to betray the main characters!
Now that things have come to this, it's not even certain who's sending spies into whose organization!
She didn't think she was particularly charming, but Jiang Xingni believed that Xiao Jiming's personal charisma as the protagonist was enough to win over so many people.
In short, Xiao Jiming's people are her people, and Jiang Xingni's people, after rounding down, are also Longinus's people, and Longinus's people are the Hidden Order Society's people.
Therefore, He Jingtong is an undercover agent sent by the Hidden Order to VOID!
He Jingtong himself was unaware that Jiang Xingni had already thought of this much, and that he had successfully become an undercover agent sent by Jiang Xingni to his hometown.
However, according to He Jingtong's original plan, the word "undercover agent" was not a big problem.
There wasn't much time for idle chatter. Suddenly, He Jingtong raised his head and squinted his eyes slightly.
"Who's coming soon?" He Jingtong suddenly asked.
However, Jiang Xingni does not need to answer this question.
They could see it as soon as they looked up.
The whole world began to tremble slightly, like bubbles being gently blown by the wind, and ripples began to spread throughout the world.
He Jingtong could easily identify the people outside by their uniform insignia—the 49th Bureau.
As a secret organization, Bureau 49 is virtually unknown even within the world of superhumans.
He Jingtong was able to know this thanks to his own identity.
He Jingtong glanced at Jiang Xingni subtly, beginning to wonder about Jiang Xingni's true identity.
"I should go now. I'll contact you once I get the intelligence." He Jingtong didn't say how he would contact Jiang Xingni, but simply nodded slightly, indicating that he was leaving.
Jiang Xingni looked up thoughtfully at the top of his head. He had finally completed the construction of the passage and was ready to enter the forty-ninth round of the instance.
He Jingtong smiled at her, with a rare, subtle hint of amusement: "However, before I leave, I'd like to give you a gift."
What gift?
Jiang Xingni tried to remain silent, using a cold mask to express her doubts.
He Jingtong stepped back.
At He Jingtong's request, the remaining forces of VOID detonated the traps that had been laid.
The stone tablets scattered throughout the instance, capable of controlling other players' tasks, are also controlled by VOID. If they wish to self-destruct, they can also destroy almost the entire instance.
This was the grand gift He Jingtong gave to Jiang Xingni.
