The Law of Heaven

Chapter 50 The Transformation of Alaya Consciousness

The next morning, after washing up, Aihara, who hadn't slept all night, took out a pair of round-framed sunglasses from the drawer, put them on, sprayed some hairspray on his head, and casually wiped it.

His hair became fluffy, and his bangs fell loose.

He examined himself in the mirror.

Aside from the different hair color, they do look quite alike.

Xiao Si is still fast asleep. Today the school is holding a sports meet, so she doesn't have to get up so early for morning self-study, and therefore doesn't need to be taken to school.

Aihara hesitated for a moment at the door of her room, but finally gave up, changed into clean clothes, and went out.

"She doesn't understand anything about immortal beings. Let's wait until we find out who the murderer is before telling her."

While waiting for the elevator, Aihara took out his phone, and a photo was displayed on the dim screen.

That was the crime scene photographed by Jian Mo; scattered pieces of cloth lay in the muddy soil, covered by flowers and plants.

It is said that my second uncle possesses a precious living spirit, the essence of which is a pair of women's lace panties. In times of crisis, he can travel through time by simply putting it on his head.

This piece of clothing is quite famous. It is said to have been a gift from one of my second uncle's old lovers. The old man was quite startled by this thing when he first slept with her.

This really suits my second uncle's style.

The main theme is lewdness and depravity.

According to Jianmo's analysis, the scattered fabric at the scene was a fragment of that living spirit. It must have been forcibly shattered, causing Uncle's teleportation to be interrupted.

Generally speaking, living beings are not so easily damaged, but like living organisms, they have weaknesses. Once their vital points are attacked, they can easily disintegrate.

In other words, the murderer was very familiar with the second uncle.

They even knew the weakness of that living creature.

Actually, when it comes to the crime committed by an acquaintance, Aihara's first suspect was Uncle Yu, but this thought was fleeting and lacked sufficient evidence and logic to support it.

Because Uncle Yu had no motive.

If Uncle Yu is really the murderer, then he couldn't possibly have done nothing after the incident.

Who could it be?

As soon as Aihara stepped out of the residential area, he saw a black Ferrari parked at the entrance, its engine roaring powerfully.

"You look pretty cool today."

Jiang Wanwu, in the driver's seat, lowered the car window, revealing a bright and beautiful face with light makeup. Her long hair was tied up in a bun, revealing her fair and slender neck, and her necklace sparkled.

Her outfit today was rather mature; the off-the-shoulder black dress hugged her curvaceous figure, and she wore a pair of slender high heels, looking both sophisticated and dashing.

Wearing high heels while driving a sports car, I'm not afraid of having an accident.

"Sister Wanwu is also very beautiful."

Aihara asked suspiciously, "But why are you here?"

Jiang Wanwu waved her hand: "I've come to pick you up and take you to the company. I used my connections to get you a child labor position. I'll take you to complete the onboarding procedures today."

Child labor, my foot!

Aihara, lacking any backbone, got into the passenger seat and couldn't help but ask, "How much is your salary?"

"If you only work the day shift, you'll earn 4,500 a month. Since you're not an adult, you can only work under a child labor contract. After you become a full-time employee, you'll earn 8,500 a month, not including social insurance and housing fund benefits."

Jiang Wanwu said with a smile, "You think it's not enough?"

Aihara was content with this, honestly replying, "This money is enough for me to make ends meet. Wait, is there a night shift later?"

"of course."

What does the night shift involve?

"you guess?"

"what?"

Jiang Wanwu gave him a flirtatious look.

Aihara immediately understood, his throat bobbing up and down. This was blatant temptation.

Who can stand this...

"Fasten your seatbelts, we're ready to go."

Jiang Wanwu glanced at him in the rearview mirror and suddenly said, "Speaking of which, your uncle's case has been resolved."

Aihara was slightly taken aback: "Who is it?"

Jiang Wanwu looked away: "You'll find out soon enough."

The Ferrari roared away, leaving only the old man in the community security booth with tears of envy in his eyes.

As the Ferrari cruised along the congested highway, Jiang Wanwu drove and casually introduced the Jiang family's situation.

Aihara had a general understanding of her situation.

The Jiang family is one of the five major families and is responsible for managing the Technology Research and Development Bureau. It is involved in many cutting-edge technology industries and is currently the company's most competitive department.

Not only because the projects under the Technology Research and Development Bureau are the most profitable, but more importantly, they are also responsible for the research and development of weapons and equipment, providing almost irreplaceable logistical support.

In a war, logistics is the most important thing.

No matter how battle-hardened a general is, once he loses logistical support on the battlefield, he will probably turn into a maggot.

It disappears after only a few wriggles.

In their exploration of the other side, the ancient immortals, due to their backward technology and productivity, were unable to effectively cope with many dangerous situations. The mortality rate for each mission was extremely high, with only a nine out of ten chance of survival.

Modern long-lived beings, aided by technology, find exploring other worlds much less dangerous. They use drones and robots to explore and rely on firepower for suppression, eliminating the need for close-quarters combat.

This is the dividend of the times.

Jiang Wanwu's father was the former patriarch of the Jiang family, one of the elders of the five major families, and a core member of the highest board of directors. He was highly respected and virtuous.

Jiang Lao can also be considered the father of the five major families.

Without Jiang Lao, half of the five major families would be paralyzed.

Chairman Ruan also held him in high esteem.

After hearing this, Aihara looked out the window and exclaimed, "I see. I didn't realize your father was so capable."

Jiang Wanwu smiled silently: "Yes, my father is indeed a top talent in academia. Many longevity species forces want to poach him."

Aihara shrugged: "With such an amazing father, you must be under a lot of pressure, right?"

Jiang Wanwu glanced at him in surprise.

Over the years, anyone who has learned about her family background has had one of two reactions: either they try to curry favor with her or they fear her power and therefore respect her.

Aihara was the only exception.

Jiang Wanwu pursed her lips and remained silent. "Speaking of which, how could your father, a man of such high position and power, allow his daughter to have a gigolo?"

Aihara jokingly pointed to herself: "Wanwu-neechan, I'm not going to get shot by him, am I?"

Jiang Wanwu was amused by him and rolled her eyes charmingly: "Don't worry, my father doesn't care about me much anymore. He rarely comes home these days and usually spends his time testing new weapons at the experimental field in the suburbs."

Aihara asked curiously, "A new type of weapon?"

Jiang Wanwu nodded: "Times have changed. When facing mythical creatures like the Heavenly Principle, the immortal beings of today no longer need to use human lives to fill the gaps, as was the case in ancient times."

We typically use composite weapons—a combination of technology and ancient alchemy—to carry out large-scale blasting on the other side. Whether it's the Mirage Dragon, the remnants of the Shi family, or even those Dead Apostles, they will all suffer severe damage.

This is also a countermeasure by the Deep Blue Alliance; anyone who tries to uncover the secrets of Fog Hill will be severely punished.

Upon hearing this, Aihara's mind inadvertently conjured up that cool and aloof pretty face, and her heart tightened.

Senior Jiang is still in the opposite side. You know, she's not only beautiful, but she also possesses the precious technology to produce serum. We can't let her die like this.

However, he was too embarrassed to mention Senior Jiang directly in front of Jiang Wanwu, so he had to use a different excuse.

"Aren't our people still on the other side?"

Aihara couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, the energy pulse released by the alchemical bomb is very special; it will specifically damage the Heavenly Principle Gene. To put it in a way you can understand, it will probably explode the Dead Apostles and experimental subjects, including the Mirage Dragon itself."

Jiang Wanwu blinked her alluring eyes and explained, "Although this energy pulse will also have some impact on normal long-lived species, most of our hunters are on the outskirts, so they can just find a place to take refuge. As for the combat units, they carry miniature matrices that can temporarily create shielding energy fields to isolate the effects of the pulse."

Aihara breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Deep Blue Alliance wasn't so ruthless after all, and that they did consider the situation of their subordinates.

I wonder how Senior Jiang is doing.

We need to use our clones to return to the other side as soon as possible to take a look.

"Anyway, you don't need to worry about my father. He probably won't come to see you. You can just sit in my office with me. The company is currently conducting an internal audit, and many positions have become vacant. I've reserved a very good position for you."

Jiang Wanwu said with a smile, "Although the salary is low, the position is coveted by many. You are still young and don't understand some things. Working in a company, that basic salary is actually nothing. The extra income of many senior executives is actually invisible. Only when you climb high enough and sit in that position will you understand."

Aihara was thoughtful.

The Ferrari drove into the company's parking lot.

The company's automatic doors opened, and the investigators from the Human Resources Investigation Team escorted a man in a suit out.

The man was quite young, probably only around twenty years old, and looked well-dressed and handsome.

He just had a hawk-like, wolf-like appearance, especially his eyes, which were as sinister as a venomous snake.

Even with his hands cuffed, he was still holding a cup of coffee.

"The timing was just right. This is the mastermind that Li Yun confessed to. Yan Feng, the third-generation direct descendant of the Yan family and the captain of the first team of the Anomaly Management Bureau."

Jiang Wanwu pushed open the car door and got out, took out the car key, and walked over gracefully, her high heels clicking on the ground.

Aihara raised an eyebrow and followed without saying a word.

Yan Feng stopped in his tracks when he saw them, a mocking smile playing on his lips, and said in a hoarse voice, "Miss Jiang, I must say, that's quite a tactic."

Jiang Wanwu smiled slightly: "I just vaguely sensed that someone might be pulling strings behind Xiaoyuan's affairs, so I went along with it to see what was going on. I didn't expect to lure you out like this."

"I'm so sorry, but there's been a lot of infighting within the family lately. If something happens to you, Elder Yan will be very angry, won't he? Will you still be able to come out? I'm very worried."

For a fleeting moment, Aihara suddenly realized the truth.

As expected, this woman is not as simple as she seems. Yesterday's events were not only a test, but also an attempt by the Jiang family to navigate the factional struggle.

Aihara was just one of the pieces in the game.

Aihara couldn't help but sigh, "The waters of the five great families are truly deep."

If one does not quickly acquire greater power and authority, one will only become a puppet to be manipulated by others.

"Good good."

Yan Feng sneered and turned to look behind the woman: "This must be Mr. Aihara, right? As expected, he's just a child, only able to hide behind a woman. No wonder he's Xiang Chaonan's nephew, the whole family is the same."

Aihara felt the overwhelming malice coming at him.

He didn't know this man.

There had been no prior conflict between them.

That can only be because of my second uncle.

"I heard that the mastermind is dying and wants to change his fate through the Mirage. This Yan Feng looks very young and doesn't seem like someone who can control everything. Could he just be a scapegoat?"

Aihara was a little hesitant.

But clearly, this guy has a personal grudge against my second uncle.

"What, did my uncle sleep with your mother?"

Aihara replied nonchalantly.

puff.

Jiang Wanwu couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

A flash of uncontrollable rage crossed Yan Feng's expression. He charged forward like a ravenous wolf, smashing the hot coffee in his hand in a vicious rage.

Because he couldn't use his abilities, the investigators from the Humanity Investigation Team didn't have time to stop him.

There was a snap.

The cup of hot coffee exploded in front of Aihara.

The splashed coffee didn't fall on his head; instead, it dripped down into the void in front of him.

It's like being separated by an invisible boundary.

Yan Feng, on the other hand, was splashed in the face with coffee that bounced back, and stood there stunned for a moment, looking utterly disheveled.

This is the simulation of the power of the Tenfold Delusion. By increasing the density of the mental field, it achieves a 360-degree defense with no blind spots. Any object that touches it will be isolated by the dense force, as if it were trapped in an endless quagmire.

This is just an initial attempt.

Unexpectedly, it was quite effective.

"The world is so beautiful, yet you are so irritable."

Aihara was a head taller than this guy. He leaned over and bent down slightly, adjusting his sunglasses: "Broken up?"
