The sunlight outside the window was dazzling. Today, Coro Island was exceptionally hot.
The air conditioner was turned up to high. Jiang Chen sat in the office, quietly reading a novel in his hand. He rarely calmed down to read a book like this. Thanks to Ayesha, this elegantly decorated office never had dust on it.
Today, he really wasn't in the mood to go out, nor was he in the mood to put on the Phantom Helmet to play games, so he simply came to the office. While waiting for the news from the Ghost Agents, he quietly read the novel that he read half a year ago but never picked up.
He didn't try to guess the ending of the story because O. Henry's ending was always so unexpected.
A gust of wind blew by. Jiang Chen raised his head, and Ayesha, in a maid costume, appeared at the door and walked next to him with light steps.
"The identity of the assassin was found. Her parents were members of the Kurofune and died in the pursuit of Ghost Agents."
At Jiang Chen's request, Ayesha didn't tell him the name of the girl.
Jiang Chen closed the page, put the book aside, and asked softly.
"What about her?"
"It has nothing to do with the Kurofune … but it doesn't rule out that the Kurofune later found her, conducted simple training on her, and instilled … the concept of hatred into her." Ayesha adjusted her wording and explained as concisely as possible.
"Is that so …" Jiang Chen fell into deep thought.
Hatred born from hatred, this was also within his expectations. However, he didn't intend to change his mind. In any case, the Kurofune must die, and any excuse was not enough to justify their crimes against humanity.
What's more, they were just struggling on their deathbed.
"We can add a physical examination to the entry inspection to monitor people with genetic codes," Ayesha suggested.
"There are too many people carrying hidden genetic codes, even more than those who don't. The difference between superpowers and ordinary people is only whether the genetic code is expressed explicitly," Jiang Chen said softly.
Ghost Agents infiltrated all areas of Xin and monitored every phone call, every text message, and every 1KB of data coming in and out of Xin through artificial intelligence. However, it was almost impossible to ensure the identity security of every inbound passenger in a tourist country with more than hundreds of thousands of visitors per month.
Compared to mercenaries who used firearms and explosives, attacks from unarmed superhumans were sometimes more dangerous and impossible to defend against. For example, the girl from last night had used a mental attack at a crucial moment, which could practically kill without leaving a trace.
Fortunately, although these so-called superpowers were inconceivable, they were still within the scope of nature. Like those mutants in Marvel, they definitely don't exist.
Biting her lips, Ayesha lowered her head with an apologetic expression.
"I'm very sorry. It was my dereliction of duty that you were assassinated last night —"
"You don't have to apologize. Please raise your head." Jiang Chen smiled. "No one can predict what is going to happen. All we can do is to prevent it from happening, not to prevent it from happening."
Although Jiang Chen's words gave Ayesha some comfort, the little girl still hadn't completely forgiven herself for her negligence. Without him, at least there would be a Ghost Agent accompanying Jiang Chen. Unfortunately, the atmosphere between him and Xia Shiyu was too good last night. Zhu Yu, who was protecting Jiang Chen, didn't dare to watch their "passionate live broadcast", so she quietly left.
No one thought it would be such a coincidence. If Zhu Yu was nearby at the time, she would definitely kill the girl without hesitation. Superhumans were also people. No matter what kind of superpower, as long as the person died, they would be fine.
For this matter, Ayesha scolded Zhu Yu.
If it were her, she certainly wouldn't hide when Jiang Chen and Xia Shiyu were doing it. She might even participate … Ahem.
Seeing that Ayesha didn't speak, Jiang Chen paused for a moment and then continued.
"What happened last night was nothing. My car has been modified. Even if I didn't stop and crashed into the sea, I would only suffer some minor injuries. So, don't be too guilty. In that world, I have seen more terrifying superpowers. "
"More terrifying?"
Jiang Chen smiled and nodded.
"His superpower has been unlocked to the third level, and he can even erase an entire province from the map … But in the end, he still died under my Lightsaber."
It was also thanks to the guy named Bo Yu who detonated the crystals. Otherwise, his storage dimension wouldn't have transformed into a physical universe.
After hearing Jiang Chen's words, Ayesha asked worriedly.
"Over there … is that world that terrifying?"
"You can't say that. Although the situation over there is chaotic and terrible in all senses, fortunately, there is a group of decent people who are now slowly establishing order. So, don't worry too much about me. If there is a chance, I will take you there … although it is not a good place. "
Jiang Chen smiled and rubbed Ayesha's head.
"Mhmm," Ayesha whispered.
…
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Jiang Chen didn't disclose the news of the assassination. And the body of the girl was also taken to the apocalypse to be buried, and the traces of her existence were forever erased from this world.
After resting at home for a day, he came to the group building as usual the next day.
It was a bit different from what he imagined. He originally thought that with Xia Shiyu's thin skin, after experiencing such a shameful event, she would definitely avoid him for a few days. But the reality was out of his expectations. Not only did Xia Shiyu not avoid him, she even sat across from him during lunch.
Perhaps it was Jiang Chen's illusion, but the relationship between the two was a lot closer.
However, when the two of them were eating, they were mostly talking about work.
"How is Future Technology's preparation?"
"What do you mean?" Xia Shiyu mixed the salad dressing with the fruits and vegetables, then used a fork to pick up a piece of tomato and sent it into her cherry mouth. For some reason, Jiang Chen felt the moment the bright red lips bit into the tomato was erotic. Perhaps it was because the salad dressing was white?
"Phone."
Jiang Chen cut off a piece of meat from the steak and used chewing to cover up the moment of awkwardness.
"Future Heavy Industries has already delivered the sample. From the quality of the product, it definitely matches the concept of 'next generation'. Also, I have seen Ning Huajian's plan. Future Technology's marketing and sales channels are also ready. All the work is ready, and now there is only one thing left. "
"What?"
Xia Shiyu smiled and used a joking tone, which was rare for her.
"President, please give me a name."
