Chapter 31 It's been wronged
Jiang Xingni asked, puzzled, "Why should I receive psychological counseling?"
The little girl asked the question very sincerely, and only after asking did she realize what the sentence meant.
She remained silent for a while, genuinely surprised that an artificial intelligence system would consider her mental health issues.
"...No, I don't need it." Jiang Xingni wasn't putting on a brave face. She flicked the blood off the dagger and said to the system in her mind with a hint of helplessness.
"Killing someone with a placenta is different from killing a real person," she said calmly, a simple sentence that greatly shocked the system.
The system froze for a long time, unsure of what to say, but Jiang Xingni continued to communicate with it.
"The dagger scraped through the skin, revealing rotten flesh inside, like a balloon filled with decaying blood that would burst at the slightest touch."
"However, if it were a real human, cutting through the skin would reveal muscles, then bones, and finally internal organs. No matter how sharp the dagger, it wouldn't be so smooth; it would definitely be obstructed."
"No." The system hesitated before speaking, waiting for her to analyze the situation. "Why are you so experienced? What did you do before?"
Jiang Xingni: "Hehe."
Nothing special, just an ordinary member of the downtown area trying to protect himself and survive.
"You haven't done anything... illegal or disorderly, have you?" the system asked cautiously.
Although such things may not be uncommon in the lower city, Jiang Xingni is someone who is going to join the main characters' group.
The system worriedly wondered if readers would discover that Xingxing was actually a ruthless murderer and arsonist, and that it might cause her popularity to decline.
Or should we have assigned Xingxing a villainous role from the beginning?
Jiang Xingni typed out a question mark in confusion.
"How could this be!" she exclaimed, utterly shocked. "I didn't! I'm a diligent student determined to get out of the downtown area through my studies!"
Is he a good student who is proficient in human anatomy? The system questions this, the system doesn't believe it, and the system decides to investigate secretly on its own.
The casual chat with the system didn't take up too much time. Jiang Xingni's fighting style was quite different from that of Patient No. 1.
The first patient directly wielded a cleaver and hacked at the placenta, resulting in a chaotic scene of blood, flesh, and severed limbs flying everywhere. No part of the path he walked was clean and unstained by blood.
As for Jiang Xingni's location, her intention was not to kill the placenta—although she could have done so, it would have been too time-consuming.
Just like when she killed the first placental person, she made several incisions and waited for the flesh and blood to flow out, until the placenta became a shriveled layer of skin.
Therefore, Jiang Xingni's actions were all aimed at rendering the placental person incapable of movement.
Patient Number One turned around, lowered his eyes, and stared at Jiang Xing.
Only when he got this close did Jiang Xingni realize how terrifying Patient Number One was—a man covered in blood, who, although not exactly a burly man, was carrying a large machete as tall as himself, and staring intently at Jiang Xingni with his dark eyes.
Jiang Xingni silently calculated in his mind which direction would be more convenient for him to hide if Patient Number One went berserk and decided to stab him.
"You're not crazy either," he said softly. "I'm not crazy, and neither are you."
Jiang Xingni raised his face and then took a step back.
I'm sorry, I initially thought you weren't crazy, but after hearing what you said, I'm starting to have doubts.
"Is everything resolved?" The head nurse and Pei Zhaoye ran over.
The head nurse skillfully comforted the first patient, but Jiang Xingni noticed that the head nurse's hands were behind her back, with a needle clutched in her palm.
"A tranquilizer," Pei Zhaoye whispered into Jiang Xingni's ear.
Jiang Xing raised an eyebrow.
She put herself in the nurse's shoes; the head nurse made no attempt to hide anything. If it were her, there were many ways to resist the sedative or simply avoid it.
But Patient Number One did nothing. He even stared at the head nurse for a while and then offered his arm so she could give him a sedative injection.
Either the head nurse's supernatural abilities were strong enough to frighten even Patient Number One, or... Jiang Xingni's expression turned strange. It was simply a case of one willing to give and the other willing to receive.
But no matter what aspect it is, it is enough to show that the head nurse has indeed gained the trust of the first patient.
"Since she can't separate herself from Zheng Tingfeng—" The head nurse continued her analysis, which had been interrupted, only after the sedative was successfully injected.
"But Zheng Tingfeng is an ordinary person. She doesn't have any superpowers. Even if she did, no human superpower could create a ghost realm." Pei Zhaoye knew what she hadn't finished saying and skillfully added.
"And before I came in, I saw Zheng Tingfeng approaching room number 13, holding a blank book in his hand." Pei Zhaoye continued.
The head nurse narrowed her eyes: "A wordless book?"
Her fingertips tapped the syringe almost unconsciously, her voice calm but slightly authoritative: "Explain clearly."
Jiang Xingnian noticed that the moment the head nurse's voice turned cold, the group of nurses behind her unconsciously exchanged a terrified look.
She was almost subconsciously analyzing the behavior in her mind; she was authoritative, but not a bad person, deeply trusted by others, calm, and perceptive.
Jiang Xingni's analysis was not yet finished when she received a gaze from Pei Zhaoye beside her.
His purple eyes looked at Jiang Xingni with a questioning look in them.
Oh, Pei Zhaoye is asking her what she thinks.
Jiang Xingni was puzzled for a moment, but she quickly accepted the situation and took the initiative to explain to the head nurse.
"It's the strange creature we're tracking," she replied. "Zheng Tingfeng's mother, Zheng Pingwen, her coma is related to that wordless book."
"A wordless book..." The head nurse's brow furrowed even more deeply. "Isn't it a shadow play? What does a shadow play have to do with a wordless book?"
"Shadow puppetry was created by wordless books," Jiang Xingni answered succinctly, summarizing the connection between wordless books and shadow puppetry in just a few words.
"So, Zheng Tingfeng has now become the new host of the Wordless Book..." The head nurse's thoughts raced along with Jiang Xingni's words, then she focused on only one question. "Is she still alive?"
She asked.
Jiang Xingni didn't expect the head nurse's first reaction to ask this question.
It can't be considered entirely unexpected.
Jiang Xingni originally wanted to say "I don't know" directly, but just as the words were about to come out of her mouth, she suddenly remembered her rarely used superpower.
"It's really beneath the Eye of Truth to be on you," the system whispered in her mind.
Jiang Xingni showed no embarrassment whatsoever, answering quite confidently, "After all, I wasn't born with superpowers. How can a person not need time to adapt when they grow an extra hand?"
