Chapter 225 Looking at us
Jiang Xingni crawled in through the window and, through the open door, could just see the two people standing in the living room.
"Yama-zumi." Yama-gae pointed to one of the people.
Jiang Xingni could see through the mask that there was a young girl underneath.
"The mountain has arrived." The other person being referred to waved his hand at Jiang Xingni.
Although they didn't know what had happened that caused Shan Qing's attitude towards the man in black to change so drastically, they still trusted Shan Qing—their captain's—judgment.
Yamazumi turned his head and gave Jiang Xingni a cold nod.
"Now that we've reached an agreement, where is what we want?" Yamasumi asked.
Jiang Xing smiled and said, "Alright, as a token of my sincerity in cooperating... perhaps you should also show some sincerity."
Her gaze swept over them for a moment.
Shan Lan had been staying close to Shan Qing and Shan Tang without saying a word, simply observing them. Suddenly, he spoke up: "How did you determine that we are an official organization? Why are you so sure?"
Why do you dare to believe that they are on the same path as her?
Even if Shan Qing believed her for the time being.
Shanlan didn't think he could let his guard down and trust the other party.
Just as Jiang Xingni was about to lift his leg, he heard Shan Lan's words.
She turned around, her expression indifferent.
To be honest, Jiang Xingni really didn't want to keep arguing about this issue.
Compared to how she did it, how she realized they were an official organization, and why she chose Shanqing among so many organizations... none of these questions mattered to Jiang Xingni.
She had more important things to deal with and didn't want to waste any more time.
So she simply pointed to her eyes, without offering any further explanation: "I have good eyesight."
Jiang Xingni spoke lightly.
Shan Qing seemed to realize something.
The girl hidden under the mask pursed her lips and muttered with a laugh, "A superhuman."
It was definitely a superhuman, there was no other possibility—although the man in black in front of him didn't seem to have anything strange about him, unlike other superhumans who were conspicuous, Shan Qing remembered what she had seen.
If it's not a superhuman, it's clearly being controlled; the black mist tentacles, resembling a monster, are attacking the monster with an advantage.
While pretending to be frustrated, Shan Qing looked at Jiang Xingni thoughtfully.
She already had two guesses about Jiang Xingni's special ability.
One method is copying.
Those black mist tentacles were created by the man in black, who copied the monster's abilities and used them to fight the monster.
Another possibility is that it could be something like mind control or hypnosis.
It can even control monsters with little intelligence, making them fight themselves.
Regardless of the possibility, Shan Qing became vigilant.
Bureau 49 has always been paying attention to the world of superhumans—although limited by the world's closed-off and stubborn nature, they don't know much about it.
However, this "not many" is relative.
This means that Shanqing and his team cannot possibly create a file for every individual with superpowers, integrate their abilities, categorize them, and then sort them according to the strength of their abilities.
However, they all knew about every superhuman who rose to fame in the superhuman world.
For example, Xiao Jiming and his group, the recent star freshmen of Taixu Academy.
The relevant departments had already thoroughly investigated their capabilities.
—Including Jiang Xingni.
Although Shan Qing still doesn't know how she should treat Jiang Xingni, whether Jiang Xingni's ideology will push her to the opposite side or make them like her.
Shan Qing simply didn't dare to see Jiang Xingni.
If it really was just because they were influenced by the supernatural that they forgot about Jiang Xingni and her parents.
Then Shanqing wouldn't be so guilty as to not dare to look at the daughter left behind by his old friend.
The strange abilities are often irresistible. Shan Qing knew that no matter how much he trained, he was still just an ordinary person at heart.
She doesn't feel guilty about things she can't do, but only about things she should have done but couldn't do for various reasons.
The reason she dared not see Jiang Xingni was simply that Shan Qing dared not look at Jiang Xingni's face.
She was afraid that when she saw Jiang Xingni's face, the first face that would come to mind would be Ji Hanzhang.
She also remembered her first reaction upon learning that Jiang Xingni was a superhuman—if only Jiang Xingni hadn't been affected by the monsters, if only they all remembered Jiang Xingni.
If they could remember Jiang Xingni, if Jiang Xingni could grow up in the 49th Bureau and be influenced by their ideas and beliefs, Jiang Xingni would be an extremely useful sword after he awakens his superpowers, regardless of whether he enters the world of superpowered individuals.
But the thought had barely crossed Shan Qing's mind before she abandoned it.
It's too exploitative.
Shan Qing thought about it and felt that she couldn't bear to see her friend's child end up like this.
My thoughts drifted away naturally.
Shan Qing only came to her senses when she saw Jiang Xingni activating several mechanisms from under the mural on the wall.
Shan Qing began to memorize the movements of the woman in black, and tried to discern from her movements why she was so skilled.
"So skilled?" Shan Qing asked tentatively.
Jiang Xingni took out the documents left by his parents from the crack, tilted his head towards Shan Qing, and spoke with a half-joking tone.
"After all, I was the one who put it in," she replied casually.
Then, through the mask, Jiang Xingni saw Shan Qing reveal a terrifying expression.
After putting on the mask, Shan Qing no longer concealed her expression.
Jiang Xingni had no idea what kind of background Shan Qing had imagined for him.
Anyway, the further away from Jiang Xingni the better, and the less related they are, the better.
She opened the research report, and people around her naturally gathered around her.
Shan Qing turned her head and glanced lightly at the paper in Jiang Xing's hand.
The white paper has turned slightly yellow over time, but it is clearly well preserved and has no damage other than the yellowing.
The top one contains Ji Hanzhang's research materials.
Jiang Xing glanced over and saw that it was something about why monsters can't be seen by ordinary people, what the difference is between ordinary people and people with superpowers, what the difference is in their eye structure that makes monsters invisible, and what would be needed if ordinary people wanted monsters to be seen—special technology or human modification.
The image below is Jiang Qishi's research material.
Jiang Xingnian noticed the large characters on it at first glance.
"She's watching us!!!"
The three exclamation marks that follow get progressively larger.
