Chapter 37 Beyond the Ghost Realm
Chapter 37 Beyond the Ghost Realm
Kan Yi wasn't just blaming herself; in a sense, she knew it wasn't actually her fault.
"I understand," the member on the other end of the communicator said. "This isn't your fault."
Kan Yi calmly thought, yes, it really wasn't her fault, but how could she stand aside?
Especially when Kan Yi clearly noticed Zheng Tingfeng, she was still limited in her thinking by the description of him as an "ordinary person" in the file.
Although she knew very well that at that time, even if she realized it, she couldn't change anything, Kan Yi could still feel the emotions in her heart—guilt and regret.
It wasn't so much about what she was capable of doing, but more about the feeling that she shouldn't have done it.
"I know it's not my fault," Kan Yi said. "But I'm sorry."
This is how she replied to her colleague on the other end of the communicator.
It was early morning, just when most people were at work, so the members of the Phenomena Bureau arrived quickly.
In just over ten minutes, all the staff responsible for on-site exploration, investigating the source of energy, and evacuating the masses gathered here.
"Should we evacuate all the patients in this building?"
"Are you crazy? The remaining patients in this building are all ordinary people! Some of them can't even move around easily!"
"But if they stay here, that book will eventually target them!"
"So you're sacrificing so many ordinary people for one possibility?"
"You...you!"
As members dispatched by the authorities, Xiao Jiming and his team did not need to hide like Jiang Xingni did this time.
To avoid being discovered, they couldn't even use teleportation arrays, so they had to secretly buy tickets and take the high-speed rail, using this ordinary mode of transportation.
Xiao Jiming and his group acted much faster than Jiang Xingni.
When they entered the hospital, they overheard officials arguing.
Xiao Jiming hesitated for a moment—but only for a fleeting instant—before stepping forward and speaking calmly: “Our team once fought against the Wordless Book, and we are applying to enter.”
One of them looked Xiao Jiming up and down with some dissatisfaction, and even took a step back so that he could look Xiao Jiming in the eye.
"You? A child? A freshman at Taixu Academy?" The man sneered. "I've long disagreed with Taixu Academy sending a bunch of students on missions. If we were seasoned ability users, we wouldn't have given the Nameless Book a chance to escape!"
"What kind of reason is it to have fought against the wordless book?" He rolled his eyes. "That just means your methods were flawed! It means you've already failed once!"
Another person nudged him with their elbow: "Why are you being so harsh on the child?"
Although their tones were inconsistent, Xiao Jiming could hear the same underlying message: they were just a group of children.
They didn't look at them directly, as Xiao Jiming had hoped.
It wasn't exactly an uncommon situation; Xiao Jiming had even gotten used to it.
The first person to speak shook his head, this time offering a blunt refusal: "I'll be the first one up. You students should stay in the back; perhaps somewhere else needs you more than at the front?"
Then Xiao Jiming watched as the first person pushed open the door, checked that his gun was fully loaded and chambered.
He went in without hesitation.
"Rejected again?" Song Juexiao walked to his side, gestured with his hands, and received a nod in response from Xiao Jiming.
She shook her head helplessly.
This kind of thing is not uncommon. Even though they have official approval from the Bureau of Paranormal Phenomena, not all the superhumans here will obey the Bureau's instructions.
They will send Xiao Jiming and his group to a safer place as protection for them as "mature superhumans".
"Are you sure you want to face Zheng Tingfeng this time?"
When Song Juexiao and Xiao Jiming returned to He Jingtong's side, He Jingtong crossed his arms and calmly asked a question.
Xiao Jiming was able to understand what He Jingtong meant by his words.
After experiencing a failed judgment, does he still have the confidence to firmly believe that his judgment is correct?
"Even without relying on our previous experience, we will eventually have to face Zheng Tingfeng," Xiao Jiming replied.
After all, the wordless book was in Zheng Tingfeng's hands, and Jiang Xingni and the others were most likely inside the wordless book.
"This time is different from the last one," He Jingtong said after a moment of contemplation. "Last time, the wordless book entered the Ghost Realm with us."
This time, however, the wordless book was left outside.
"Nothing's different," Xiao Jiming replied in a low voice. "We'll handle this."
The previous person with superpowers entered quickly.
Just after the three of them finished their conversation, Xiao Jiming heard a voice calling his name from behind.
He instinctively turned around and saw another superhuman who had just disagreed with his entry.
"Hey you, Xiao Jiming?" Another person asked, his face pale. According to the order, if the previous person failed, then it was his turn.
But his current expression... Xiao Jiming narrowed his eyes and carefully examined him.
His face was pale, his eyes were filled with panic, and his forehead was covered with a fine layer of sweat. He almost subconsciously wiped away the sweat as he faced Xiao Jiming's scrutinizing gaze.
"Didn't you say your team was experienced? Now it's your turn to act!" the superhuman said. "The last superhuman was eaten by the placenta."
placenta?
eaten?
Xiao Jiming quickly processed the exposed information, even though the superhuman himself was unaware that he had revealed information that Xiao Jiming was completely unaware of.
As soon as he finished speaking, the superhuman waited anxiously for Xiao Jiming's response.
Xiao Jiming glanced at him calmly—a glance that made the sweat on the superhuman's forehead continue to pour out, but Xiao Jiming didn't say a word, not a single sarcastic remark, not a single biting insult.
He simply nodded calmly: "I understand."
Then Xiao Jiming turned his head and gave Song Juexiao and He Jing the same gesture.
"Let's go, it's our turn," Xiao Jiming said. "Pei Zhaoye and Jiang Xingni are still waiting for us."
As Song Juexiao passed by the superhuman, he gave him a gentle smile and a warm gaze.
She said, "That's not your problem. You don't need to blame yourself. We'll handle this."
The moment Song Juexiao spoke, He Jingtong and Xiao Jiming looked at the red-haired girl, whose eyes still held a gentle, bright smile.
—Song Juexiao really cares about this matter.
The two of them thought the same thing without prior arrangement.
Otherwise, Song Juexiao would never have spoken.
Many people thought her special ability was "singing", but in reality, it was "voice".
Singing is merely a means to minimize harm to people.
She imbues her thoughts, her goals, and her emotions into her voice in order to change reality.
