The Law of Heaven

Chapter 55 The original photos are back in stock!

As the torrential rain poured down, Aihara and Jiang Youqing stared at each other, the silence seemingly tinged with the clash of swords.

After a long silence, Jiang Youqing broke the silence first: "How did you know these things? And why did you tell me? What is your purpose?"

Aihara shrugged: "As you can see, I don't really like the remnants of the Toki family either. On this matter, our interests are aligned. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, right?"

Jiang Youqing stared at his face, her eyes flickering.

This guy has mastered the Dragon's Might.

That is the authority that only ancient relics of the Heavenly Principle level possess.

Therefore, this strange person is most likely a guardian.

The guardian of the Mirage Dragon.

Jiang Youqing looked up at the sky, unsure whether the deity named Mirage Dragon still retained its sanity.

Of course, there is another possibility: that the Mirage Dragon went completely berserk and went mad after signing the contract with the Guardian, in which case the two sides had no choice but to suspend their cooperation and go their own way.

What is your ultimate goal?

Jiang Youqing hesitated slightly. Having gone through a crisis together before, she was emotionally willing to trust the other person.

But rationally, she couldn't risk the bigger picture.

After an unknown amount of time, a rustling sound came from the dense forest, and someone was carrying a heavy equipment box.

"You guys really made it hard for me to find you."

Jane emerged from the woods, panting, but when he saw a strange man sitting by the campfire, he immediately drew his revolver: "Who goes there?"

Xiao Li, with fried chicken in her mouth, quickly waved: "Waaah!"

Jiang Youqing hesitated for a moment before helping to explain, "Don't be nervous, this is a friend I invited to help. His identity needs to be kept secret, but he knows a lot about the remnants of the Shi family."

Aihara immediately showed a relieved expression. This woman still remembered his kindness. It was all worth it to have loved her.

Even if he becomes the king of the world, he will not mistreat this woman; he will surely let her enjoy a lifetime of wealth and glory!
I hereby bestow upon you the title of Consort!
"Miss Jiang actually has friends?"

Jian Mo lowered his gun: "This is no small matter. Can the other party be trusted? Can information be shared?"

Jiang Youqing nodded. Under the current circumstances, getting the Guardian's assistance would be very beneficial to the situation.

As for the bigger picture, that's beyond her control.

Just leave it to the teacher.

"Mr. Jane, on your way here..."

Jiang Youqing hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

"Don't worry, I came alone, avoiding the sight of other hunters. I know what you mean, anyone on the other side could be corrupted, they can't be trusted."

Jian Mo spread his hands: "Moreover, Xiang Chaonan's death could also be due to betrayal by his own people."

At that moment, Aihara suddenly said, "Xiang Chaonan? Is that the charlatan? I didn't expect you to come here to investigate the death of a charlatan?"

Jiang Youqing said expressionlessly, "I think that Mr. Xiang is not the kind of person you imagine."

Jian Mo gave the strange man a deep look, frowned and said, "He's not a charlatan, he's a very good person. Please don't insult him, he's my benefactor."

Aihara clicked his tongue: "Is that so?"

"All right."

Jiang Youqing hesitated for a moment, then silently took out a photo album from her backpack and showed it to them.

"As the weirdo just mentioned, the remnants of the Shi family have been active in the real world for years. Many people have gone missing as a result, and some have been captured and taken to the alternate dimension to be used as experimental subjects."

This reminded me that in recent years, while investigating cases, I've frequently encountered relatives of the deceased in hospitals. These individuals all had experienced the loss of children, yet they all exhibited some degree of mental instability. They firmly believed that their children hadn't died, but had gone elsewhere.

Later, I investigated and had the children's graves exhumed. Using special technology, we analyzed the DNA from the ashes and found that it did not match their parents'.

Jian Mo pulled out one of the photos: "The March 3.18th attack on Zhongnan Hospital... I remember, Miss Jiang's mother was killed in this mission, wasn't she?"

Jiang Youqing hummed in agreement: "My mother was investigating those private hospitals, but ended up being corrupted because of it. But I've always felt something was off. My mother is very talented, and she shouldn't have fallen into depravity when she came into contact with the Dead Apostles. Unless, someone deliberately set her up."

Jianmo flipped through the photos and analyzed, "According to you, these hospitals frequently have patients dying, but the DNA in the ashes doesn't match the deceased."

Jiang Youqing nodded and asked, "Do you have any clues?"

Jian Mo took a deep breath, pulled out the last photo, and said calmly, "Back then, A Yu also died in this hospital, killed by the Death Bandits. If it weren't for Mr. Xiang saving me, I would have died there too."

"Ayu, was this your first love?"

"Ah."

"Does Mr. Jane know anything else?"

"It's not just patients, but also people who committed suicide by jumping off buildings because of high-interest loans, or people who went missing during typhoons or mudslides, and even people who drowned. These people may not have died and were brought into the alien side by the Shi family."

"How did you know?"

"Xiang Chaonan told me that there might be something wrong behind these things, and he had to investigate. Because his two children might also be being targeted."

"Is Mr. Xiang's sense of smell really that sharp?"

“He also mentioned to me the families of those mentally ill patients. No one wanted to believe what those families said, but he accepted the commission and was willing to help investigate the case.”

"I see."

Xiao Li was eating fried chicken next to him, her face full of admiration.

"Wow, they're amazing, weirdo."

The chubby girl murmured.

"Yes, that's really amazing."

Aihara was also filled with admiration, and his mind was in a daze.

What seemed like a normal case analysis was actually a series of blows to his heart.

It turns out that my second uncle was such a remarkable person in the eyes of outsiders. For many years, he had been posing as a conman, but he was doing what a hero should do and protecting his two children in his own way.

Aihara and Aisami never looked down on this man, but they never thought the old man was anything special.

But at this moment, that lewd and despicable old man suddenly seemed great in his eyes. And Jian Mo and Jiang Youqing were undoubtedly those kinds of people.

A very focused and kind person.

"well."

Aihara suddenly pulled out the parchment scroll he had obtained earlier from his pocket and said calmly, "Isn't the handwriting on this the work of that charlatan?"

Jane was taken aback and took a look.

"It really is Mr. Xiang's handwriting."

His expression shifted between light and dark.

Jiang Youqing's eyes sharpened again: "This is an ancient document I found in the lab. If the annotations on it are in Mr. Xiang's handwriting, then it proves..."

Jian Mo murmured, "Mr. Xiang most likely infiltrated the Shi family by getting involved himself! Considering that Mr. Xiang was most likely killed by someone he knew, it means that someone betrayed him! His identity was exposed, and he was forced to try to escape, but was tragically murdered along the way!"

Aihara fell silent.

He understood.

My second uncle's death was likely due to two reasons.

The first floor belongs to the Shi family.

The second reason is betrayal.

His hands tightened unconsciously, embedding themselves deeply into the rock face, leaving behind deep, groove-like finger marks.

"In that case, we should definitely go and take a look at that military base. I've found its exact location, but there's a very tricky problem right now..."

Jiang Youqing took out a map she had drawn herself from her backpack and circled it: "To get there, we have to take a helicopter. That forest is a minefield; the Shi family has buried countless landmines there."

Jian Mo was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth: "Those bastards!"

Jiang Youqing drew another line on the map: "This road has no minefields, but it is guarded by a large number of combat units. With our strength, it's like throwing an egg against a rock."

They are currently outnumbered and outgunned.

You can only outsmart them, not outmaneuver them.

"I'll think of a way."

Jane said in a low voice, "And if we want to get out of here alive, we have to come up with a safe evacuation plan."

Snapped.

Aihara crushed a stone.

This caught the attention of Jian Mo and Jiang Youqing.

"Leave the crossing of the minefield to me."

Aihara gazed at the storm in the night and said softly, "It's simple, you just need to lead the way."

Everyone was stunned.

Xiao Li asked timidly, "Weirdo, is your ability to summon helicopters?"

"Helicopter?"

Aihara shrugged: "Who can't fly these days?"

He spread his hands out and raised them slightly.

Jiang Youqing suddenly felt an invisible force lifting her up, floating in mid-air, suspended in the wind and rain.

Jianmo also realized that her feet were off the ground. She instinctively wanted to resist, but she restrained herself.

They exchanged glances and were both stunned.

The most difficult problem was solved just like that.

This strange person's abilities are truly amazing!
"See, it's that simple."

With his hands in his pockets, Aihara hovered in the wind and rain like a ghost, and said calmly, "This height is enough to pass through the minefield without getting hurt, right?"

He wouldn't have been able to do this yesterday.

However, the Tenfold Delusion greatly enhanced his mastery of his abilities, and now he can easily make three people take off.

"Wow!"

Xiao Li looked at him with a face full of anticipation.

"Stop looking! I'm carrying you in my pocket, and you're going to kick me into a ditch? Don't you know your own limitations? If I carry you, I'll be exhausted halfway there!"

Aihara retorted.

Xiao Li said dejectedly, "Oh, I can shrink into the bag and wait for you to come back. Don't worry, no one can find me when I hide in the bag. By the way... I can also conjure up a bag for you to store your weapons and equipment."

She tore open a small cloth bag she was carrying with her.

Xiao Li's ability is truly amazing. She can stretch a seemingly small cloth bag to an infinitely large size, enough to stuff a whole box of weapons and ammunition into it, and then return it to its original shape.

This is the legendary storage bag!

"Then you pay attention to safety."

Jiang Youqing patted her head and tied the bag around her waist. The woman was fully armed once again.

"That's great."

Jane remarked, "I've never flown before."

Aihara seemed to have taken over command of the team, took a deep breath, and ordered, "Get ready, let's go."
