Chapter 187. The Main Personality or Another Split Personality (?)

Jiang Jianxin stared at the anime male god's avatar for a long time, then slowly said:

"The outbreak started in your flood control office, right... How did the news leak to the journalists? Do you have a spy within your ranks?"

Yin Ju also felt a headache:

"I don't know either. The journalist's profile says he is a gifted individual of the Light Faction, so he should have the ability to turn people against him."

“I also suspect there are spies—but the key is that we don’t have many people in our flood control office. I thought of my subordinates and really couldn’t think of anyone who could betray us.”

He paused, then added:
"Besides the people from the flood control office, only the Worry-Free Assassin Pavilion knows about this. But the key is that the Assassin Pavilion does a very good job of information control. The assassins are very tight-lipped, so the possibility of them revealing it is almost zero."

Jiang Jian thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out. He could only sigh and say helplessly:

"Never mind... it's hard to guard against the Light faction if they really want to know any information."

She doesn't know many Light Faction talents in real life, but she has seen many of their achievements on the forums.

Stealing intelligence right under their noses is a specialty of many talented individuals in this faction. It's said that all sorts of information circulates freely on the Light faction's forums, and their daily entertainment involves taking down their enemies' accounts.

In the eyes of those in this faction, there is no intelligence that cannot be uncovered, only a lack of effort from the forces of light. Apart from the two major forces of light, the television station and the mental hospital, other forces find it very difficult to prevent the forces of light from spying and stalking.

Yin Ju was also helpless:

"Yes, that's what I think too. Besides, some members of the Light faction have previously speculated that the journalist himself might be in Haidu... If he really is in Haidu, then it's not surprising that he would know."

Jiang Jianxin was slightly taken aback, and confirmed:
"Could the journalist himself be in Haidu?"

Yin Ju nodded:
"Yeah, because the sea is chaotic enough to be a natural sanctuary for that kid."

Jiang Jianxin was quite surprised to receive such news, but apart from what happened in the underwater contaminated area, she didn't have much interaction with journalists, so they were like two parallel lines, and she didn't ask any further questions.

She pulled over the map in front of Yin Ju and glanced at it, trying to find hope of returning home:
"Do you think if I did a physical exam and found no source of infection, and then secretly went back with the report, the base would pretend they didn't see it just because I'm an elder?"

Yin Ju shook his head and said:
"...Leaving aside the base's attitude, whether you can even go back is a question."

He pointed to the route from Haidu to Hope Base, gesturing for Jiang Jianxin to follow along:

“I know you can fly on a sword, but there’s a narrow, strangling Green Abyss between Haidu and Hope Base—if I remember correctly, wasn’t Senluo King transferred to Dawn Base to fill my position?”

Seeing Jiang Jianxin nod, he continued his analysis:

"If she leaves, there will be no one to suppress the Green Abyss. The mutated plants inside are very ferocious and will devour birds in the air. You won't be able to get through the Green Abyss area."

Jiang Jianxin raised his sword and gestured:
"I can kill Green Abyss with a single sword strike."

Yin Ju hissed:
"But the mutated plants in the Green Abyss are the underlings of the King of the Underworld... Are you sure you want to kill all of her underlings with one sword?"

"..."

Jiang Jianxin remained silent for a while.

She probably never imagined that a kind person would raise a little brother of a green abyss plant.

King Senluo Liu Yiguan was very kind to her, even though he was disabled.

Jiang Jianxin could still picture the girl in the cheongsam sitting in a wheelchair, looking at her with a gentle smile when they first met—she really couldn't bring herself to kill all of her underlings.

The white-robed swordsman stiffly pressed down on his sword and said:
"Then I won't kill them."

"...So if you can't escape by strangling Green Abyss, you'll have to take the Rose Highway diagonally to the side," Yin Ju continued.

"But Rose Transportation also blocked the highway routes at the same time. Rose Group mercenaries guarded the road crossings and intercepted pedestrians by land and air. You can kill people from the group, but from then on you will face the endless pursuit of the Rose Group."

Yin Ju frowned and said:
"I suggest you wait a few more days until the epidemic here is under control, then the lockdown will be lifted."

Jiang Jianxin stared at the map, a bitter smile and a disappointed expression on his face.

Yin Ju didn't know why she was in such a hurry to go back. Jiang Jianxin's explanation for going to Hope Base was to spar, so he assumed it was because of the hot feeling caused by [Fearless] that made this war giant eager to go back and fight.

He thought for a moment and tried to comfort her:

"...Actually, there are several well-known war giants in Haidu. You can spar with them. One of them is about to return soon."

Jiang Jianxin shook his head and lied through his teeth:
"Forget it, I'm a homebody, I just like playing with my fellow countrymen in the league."

"..."

Yin Ju didn't know what to say.

Jiang Jianxin, however, stood up and said:

"May I see those who are sick, and the healing talents you have invited?"

"Okay, let's finish breakfast first before we go."

Yin Ju pointed to the food on the table and said.

After chatting for so long, much of the food on the table had gone cold.

However, Jiang Jianxin had lost her initial enthusiasm. She picked up a shrimp dumpling, ate it, and asked Yin Ju:
"The powerful healer you're looking for is from Haidu?"

Yin Ju opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he only said:
"No, she is... from the Song family."

……

Jiang Jianxin first met Song Jun and Xia Qizhen in a tent filled with the stench of rotting flesh.

Inside the dimly lit tent, a girl who looked no more than ten years old was wearing a medical mask and kneeling on the damp ground.

Her slender fingertips danced with a lustrous, emerald-green light, a vibrant glow that was slowly healing a patient whose entire body was covered in sores.

Standing next to the girl was a young woman in her early twenties, wearing a dark green shawl, with a wise and calm gaze behind her gold-rimmed glasses.

Hearing footsteps at the door, the two looked up and greeted each other:

"The Director of the Water Resources Bureau has arrived."

Yin Ju stepped aside, revealing Jiang Jianxin behind him, and introduced him to the two of them:
"This is Elder Jiang Jianxin of the War Alliance, whose title is 'Sword Master'."

The two greeted each other politely, and Yin Ju then introduced Jiang Jianxin:

"These two are Song Jun from the Song family, a healer, and Xia Qizhen, an elder of the Song family and a talent of the Light faction."

Upon hearing the latter's name, Jiang Jianxin was slightly taken aback:
"Your name is very similar to that of a male elder in the Dream Pavilion."

Xia Qizhen adjusted his glasses and said calmly:
"My ability allows me to split into personalities with different appearances and experiences. The one in the Dream Pavilion is my second personality."

She expected the sword master before her to politely reply with "Oh, oh," but to her surprise, the girl in white stared at her and suddenly asked:
"Is that your primary personality standing here?"
