“Tokuyōmoto must give an explanation.”
Knowing that the young lady was unharmed, Morita Ao still raged in front of the Tokuyōmoto people—this was the first time Jiang Jian Yue had seen him angry.
“I warned you, didn’t I? Don’t involve the young lady in this.”
But this anger clearly lacked justification.
Jiang Jian Yue tugged at Morita Ao’s sleeve and whispered, “My fault.”
“Uh… What do you mean?”
Jiang Jian Yue felt a little suffocated.
Her phone was probably still in the ruins—it’s really hard to communicate without a phone!
Morita Ao belatedly handed over his own phone, and Jiang Jian Yue quickly typed, “It’s my problem, it has nothing to do with Tokuyōmoto.”
Speaking of which, Jiang Jian Yue was the reason Ikeda Sachi went insane.
Ikeda Sachi caused the deaths of over a dozen police officers—somehow… it seemed… the blame could land on her?
Jiang Jian Yue could already imagine how the audience bullet screen would criticize her.
But Jiang Jian Yue wasn’t like Yuki Asahi, who could mope for ages over anything related to himself.
Upholding the “adult’s principle,” she mourned the police who died but didn’t feel guilt or remorse.
Can I be blamed for Ikeda Sachi being a madman?
If a girl refuses so many confessions in a week that the line stretches from the classroom to the school gate, does everyone have to guard against psychos?
How did his parents raise such a person? Should his parents take some blame too?
Maybe the school shares responsibility for not managing education properly!
If a school like this exists in Japanese society, it means the whole system is rotten.
If a rotten country like Japan exists on Earth, does the whole world share some blame?
Humorously speaking, the direction the rich and powerful long for is the direction of civilization—IP: Mars.
When it came to sophistry, Jiang Jian Yue was an expert.
The young lady’s words were law, so Morita Ao had to relent—only then did Jiang Jian Yue, a bit confused, realize: did he also know it wasn’t Tokuyōmoto’s fault and just pretend not to?
What happened?
Jiang Jian Yue shook her head, deciding not to dwell on it for now—she’d ask later.
She hadn’t forgotten there was still a Devourer G corpse buried under the ruins—she needed to loot it while it was fresh.
She wandered around the edge of the police line, watching the rescue team uncles clear the debris, which was a surprisingly good way to pass the time.
Yuki Asahi was nearby, drinking water and explaining the situation to the Tokuyōmoto staff.
Before long, the police also sent people over.
No one disturbed Jiang Jian Yue.
It was said that last time, a Superintendent offended the Jiang family young lady’s “little boyfriend,” the young lady got angry, and like the usual scene of a financial group oppressing the weak—the poor Superintendent was forced to resign in apology.
Yes, now the “little boyfriend” rumor had spread throughout the entire Tokyo Police thanks to one sentence from Koji Hattori.
When the Devourer G’s corpse—those chained chunks of flesh—was unearthed, Jiang Jian Yue jumped over the police line.
Ignoring the uncertain stares of the rescue team, she reached out and gently touched the flesh with her finger.
A tingling sensation spread from her fingertip through her body.
She was already used to the “injection” thrill.
On the back of her neck, wrapped in bandages, blood veins spread again.
Jiang Jian Yue examined the newly-formed, pitch-black fragment in her ventricle and felt slightly disappointed.
Both Space Cutting and Abdominal Cannon were strong abilities, but she didn’t extract either.
Instead, she got something like Storage Space—wait, did this Devourer G even have that power?
Jiang Jian Yue didn’t know what use a one-cubic-meter Storage Space was, so she ignored it for now.
After gaining a new ability, the side effect of surging negative emotions followed.
Because the ability drawn was so useless, irritation filled her chest.
“Little girl, you’re not allowed in here. Hurry out, it won’t be good if you’re found.”
A rescue team uncle kindly reminded her.
The rescue personnel had no idea of the true identity of the enchanting girl before them.
Jiang Jian Yue’s blood-red eyes glanced at the uncle, suppressing the turbulent killing intent inside her, and she left the ruins.
Back in the Mercedes S-Class, Jiang Jian Yue leaned her head against the car window, gazing at the blue-haired boy from the anime—the Curtain Cluster.
New ability…
Jiang Jian Yue licked her dry lips, suppressing the craving for slaughter inside.
The car door on the other side opened, and Koji Hattori, covered in ash, crawled in, holding the Invisibility Wristwatch and phone.
“Young lady, we found your belongings.”
Seeing the cloud of dust he brought in, Jiang Jian Yue almost couldn’t resist starting up Zero Frame to blow it away.
Calm down, calm down… Jiang Jian Yue, you’re an adult who can control your emotions.
Soon after, Morita Ao returned to the front passenger seat. He glanced at the rearview mirror and said coldly, “Hattori, get out.”
Just because the young lady was filthy didn’t mean Koji Hattori could be too.
Koji Hattori, looking aggrieved, opened the car door and left.
“What’s going on?”
Jiang Jian Yue remembered Morita Ao’s earlier outburst and asked, “Just now?”
“Some in Tokuyōmoto think our special security cooperation with the Japanese Government poses risks.”
Morita Ao frowned as he explained.
“Tokuyōmoto?”
Jiang Jian Yue nearly rolled her eyes. Tokuyōmoto was a superpower organization—seriously?
GPRI’s house full of bones, Curtain Cluster not worth mentioning, Saints like stray dogs by the roadside, Light Extinguishers at their beck and call, and you, a tiny Tokuyōmoto, dare to oppose me, owner of Dawn Resources Group?
Jiang Jian Yue was feeling invincible right now.
“Don’t know if it’s the Curtain Cluster’s doing or what, but some in Tokuyōmoto think our affiliated superpower users are ungovernable and pose long-term security threats to Japan.”
Morita Ao had previously learned about the Curtain Cluster from the young lady.
He didn’t know how she knew, but he absolutely trusted her judgment.
“Heh…”
Jiang Jian Yue let out a soft, cold laugh, but felt she was acting too much like a villain and quickly reined it in.
“How should we respond?”
“If they’re playing tricks on us, I’ll cause trouble for them. Are we supposed to let every random cat and dog bully us?”
Morita Ao said indignantly, then shifted his tone.
“But for matters at this level, the young lady’s approval is still needed.”
“Do as you like.”
Jiang Jian Yue waved goodbye to Yuki Asahi through the window, but he didn’t respond.
It wasn’t until the car started moving that she realized it was a one-way window—what an idiot!
“There’s one more thing.”
Morita Ao spoke awkwardly.
“The head maid reported to me that, young lady… haven’t you had your period this month?”
For a man like Morita Ao, such matters were hard to bring up.
Jiang Jian Yue froze—period? What period?
Then, suddenly, she remembered.
That’s right! It’s been over a month, and as a girl, she hadn’t had her period?
She remembered getting it during her confused mental state!
Could it be… I’m pregnant?
