West District Public Security Bureau.

In the familiar interrogation room, Jiang Mian sat in that familiar chair.

"That's how it happened..."

She held a cup of hot tea, head down, eyes slightly red, looking timid and hesitant, as if she had suffered a great shock.

He Yi sat opposite her, his expression not very pleasant.

Jiang Mian first experienced a failed awakening, struggled to make a living, and was even harassed by awakened students from the same school, who even chased her to her doorstep to threaten and intimidate her...

He felt very uncomfortable.

Isn't this incident a dereliction of duty by their public security bureau?

But in this Base City No. 144, it is a very common phenomenon, and he alone cannot change anything.

After all, the official forces have always been concentrated in the first seven base cities.

The further the number goes, the farther away it is from the central urban area, and the more the "order" at the bottom level of the base city collapses.

He Yi sighed and gently offered words of comfort:

"Don't be afraid, you're safe here."

"Um……"

Jiang Mian nodded slightly and whispered, "Thank you, Captain He..."

"Let's go sit in the lounge."

He Yi opened the door and led Jiang Mian out, where they ran into Lin Yun, who was rushing over.

"Jiang Mian! Are you alright?"

Lin Yun looked anxious and nervous, and pulled her into his broad embrace.

Jiang Mian was suddenly pulled into a warm embrace, and her body stiffened, instinctively feeling some resistance.

Too close...

The unique fragrance of the [Myriad Spirits] path awakener emanating from Lin Yun instantly rushed to his head.

"It smells so good..."

The awakened ones of the [All Spirits] path are almost all healers, with abundant and pure life force, and have always been the most beloved "food" of the calamities.

Jiang Mian didn't feel anything when she saw this introduction in the information, but now that she has become half a calamity herself, she realizes that this feeling is simply unbearable.

"No... if I bite down, everything will be over, and... the teacher is a good person..."

She swallowed hard, trying her best to clear her mind and think about other things to distract herself.

"Were you terrified?"

Lin Yun felt the stiffness and silence of the girl in her arms, and seeing her somewhat dazed expression, she felt even more heartache.

"Teacher Lin..."

After a few seconds, Jiang Mian spoke, gently nudging Lin Yun in a very soft voice.

Lin Yun then released Jiang Mian, noticing her pale expression, and asked:

"Your face looks pale... Is your heart hurting again? Should I use my powers to help you relieve it?"

Upon hearing this, He Yi frowned deeply.

This child... also has a heart problem?

"If you are feeling unwell, the bureau's medical department can arrange a specialized examination..."

He Yi made the suggestion.

"No, no need." Jiang Mian quickly shook her head.

According to the character of "Jiang Mian", she is someone who does not like to trouble others, and could even be described as stubborn to the extreme.

However, from someone else's perspective, having a "heart condition" and experiencing something like this will definitely affect an already "fragile" heart.

It definitely needs to look good.

As for how I faked my pale complexion... actually, all I had to do was stimulate my core.

As the source of Jiang Mian's power, the core of the calamity can be easily controlled by her, affecting her heart, which is closest to it, and thus her entire body.

Neither humans nor calamities would ever imagine that the core of calamity could be used in this way.

Humans lack a core organ; the power source of their Sequence abilities is distributed throughout their entire bodies. This is why Calamity feeds on the flesh and blood of Awakened Ones.

Calamities, on the other hand, lack such rich emotions and merely mimic human behavior.

This is much more effective than just acting skills...

"Teacher Lin, let Jiang Mian go to the rest room to lie down for a while. I'd also like to ask you about Li Hao's situation."

Seeing that Jiang Mian refused, He Yi did not press the matter further.

Seeing her so vulnerable right now... I just can't bring myself to be tough.

"it is good."

Lin Yun nodded and said softly to Jiang Mian:

"Go and rest for a bit. Your teacher will come and keep you company in a little while."

After taking Jiang Mian to rest in the lounge, He Yi and Lin Yun walked to the office area on the other side of the corridor.

"Ms. Lin, how was Li Hao's performance at school before?"

"Captain He, to be honest, Li Hao was harassing Jiang Mian back in school, saying he wanted her to be his girlfriend."

"Anyone with eyes can see what he's really thinking; it's not a legitimate pursuit at all, it's purely..."

At this point, Lin Yun's face was filled with resentment.

"Considering his status and background as an Awakened, the school only gave him a perfunctory verbal warning."

He Yi's eyes narrowed. This was an old tradition of the school. They always treated troublesome awakened students this way, which explained why they dared to be so arrogant.

Lin Yun continued:

"I don't know what method he used, but he managed to find Jiang Mian's house directly! Captain He, isn't this a violation of public safety regulations?"

He Yi nodded and added:

"Not only that, he also instigated fights in public places, causing injuries to others. Even if he is an awakened individual, it's enough to warrant him spending some time in jail."

……

In the lounge, Jiang Mian closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

It's obvious what the two were talking about.

The city of Base 144, where I am located, is neither particularly orderly nor particularly corrupt. The privileges of those awakened individuals are practically nonexistent.

However, since this incident has blown up so much, Li Hao will probably be locked up for at least a few days, so she can finally have some peace and quiet.

But given his extreme personality, he'll probably cause trouble for me as soon as he gets out.

I'll use this time to develop myself to level two as much as possible.

From He Yi's guilty look just now, she was certain that he had no doubt that she was a patient with the disease.

It's stable now!

Her public persona has been successfully established, and it will serve as her best protective shield.

If I get "stimulated" again next time and accidentally "awaken" something, and Li Hao happens to be there when I do...

This is absolutely her perfect excuse.

Thinking of Li Hao's greedy gaze and ugly face, Jiang Mian felt nauseous.

Having memories and experiences of men, she has no interest in even so-called handsome men, let alone someone as exceptional as Li Hao.

Knowledge about world sequence abilities is a basic course, so she wasn't wearing those glasses for nothing.

Jiang Mian was very clear about the ability of the [Eye of the Wind]. It uses the awakened person's body as the eye of the wind to form a wind field, and attacks by mixing wind blades into the wind field.

Moreover... [Eye of the Storm] is a high-level sequence that can be ranked in the top 50.

Logically, the higher the sequence ranking, the stronger it should be. However, among every 50 sequences, the difference in ability between the earlier and later sequences is actually not that significant.

To reach the level where awakening means instant kill, you definitely need an ability that ranks at least in the top 100.

Of the top 100, Jiang Mian considered [Eye of the Storm] to be the most suitable.

Although she had considered [Wildfire], [Ignite] was ultimately a skill she used for "hunting," so it was best not to use it openly.

The ranking is high enough, the effect is similar, and it's much higher than Li Hao's [Steel Bone], which is ranked outside the top 100.

In that case, even if we "accidentally" crush him, we can only blame it on his inferior skills, right?
