Gao Wu: After transforming into a soft girl, I became a calamity?

"what?"

Jiang Mian paused, then subconsciously began to ponder the deeper meaning of the question.

It seems like a choice, but the answer is simply to stay here or remain neutral and ignore what's going on outside.

But is it really that simple?

She decided to follow Ye Chenyang's advice and answer truthfully:

"have no idea."

Jiang Mian shook his head and added:

"I never thought about such a thing, and I will not allow such a thing to happen."

Chung Chang smiled kindly and nodded.

"Okay, okay."

Long before Ye Chenyang confessed that he was "Eternal Day", his and his associates' information was already on Zhong Chang's desk.

Based on the various actions taken earlier regarding the "doomsday," Chung Cheung was able to roughly deduce the process involved.

Jiang Mian not only returned from the outer sea, but was even willing to take the risk of coming to Base City No. 1 with Ye Chenyang.

This alone is enough to show his sincerity.

"Tell me, what are your plans for the future?"

Jiang Mian glanced at Ye Chenyang subconsciously.

After receiving his encouraging response, Jiang Mian said seriously:

"Mr. Zhong, I don't care about stances or anything like that. Whoever hits me, I'll hit them back, it's that simple."

"I know."

Zhong Chang's smile faded, and he said seriously:

"But you're not your average patient. Even if I believe you, others might not think that way."

As someone in a position of authority, he must consider issues from the perspective of the majority.

The instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm is a fundamental human instinct.

Today, most accidental deaths in the world are caused by calamities.

As a being from the "Apocalypse," Jiang Mian commands respect not only from humans but also from calamities.

Even if nothing is done, it naturally bears the public's most extreme emotions towards disaster.

Fear, dread, hatred... even greed.

To put it bluntly, in some people's eyes, a "doomsday" that has not yet grown up but is still mingling among the crowd is itself a unique treasure in this world.

Take the first generation of "Doomsday" as an example.

Even if it was only at the sixth level when it died, the materials it left behind were quite valuable.

Scales, bones, core, etc., were disassembled and forged into a complete set of alien remains, with a quality rating of five stars or higher.

Who wouldn't covet such a "treasure"?

Jiang Mian frowned and remained silent.

She certainly understood this principle.

What does other people's attitudes have to do with me?

As long as you are strong enough, no one will gossip, and no one can use her to forge weapons!

So Jiang Mian asked directly:

"Mr. Zhong, what do you mean?"

"Boom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a thunderclap suddenly sounded.

Ye Chenyang silently took her hand under the table.

Judging from Zhong Lao's attitude, he was very satisfied with Jiang Mian's answer and was willing to give him 70% trust.

Next comes the statement phase.

Jiang Mian pursed her lips and clasped his hand in return.

Zhong Chang, sitting opposite, seemed to sense something and turned his gaze to the window, his eyes seemingly piercing through the clouds to see the giant dragon stirring up the mist.

He turned around, chuckled, and looked at Jiang Mian, who had no expression.

If we don't express our opinion soon, this girl might get stressed.

This is her true personality; her docile demeanor just now was merely a facade. Deep down, she is cautious yet ruthless.

If faced with a life-threatening situation, they would probably stop at nothing, even if it meant the loss of countless innocent lives.

At that point, there was truly no turning back.

Even if she was originally a kind person, her personality will eventually be affected by the nature of disaster.

However, Ye Chenyang was by her side.

It possesses the purifying property of "Eternal Day," which theoretically can indeed guarantee mental clarity, allowing human consciousness to control "Doomsday."

This kid has a unique eye; he'll probably get what's coming to him later.

"Relax. If I wanted to win you over, I would have done it the moment you walked in."

Chung Chang's tone softened as he announced his decision.

"If anyone exposes your identity, I will suppress it, and I might even persuade the other two old guys to protect you."

Then, he changed the subject.

"But in exchange, you have to act as 'bait' and help us catch a big fish."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mian's eyes flickered slightly.

Perfect timing! She also has some scores she wants to settle with Wangchuan!

……

The rain has subsided slightly.

A moment later, Jiang Mian took Ye Chenyang's hand and walked out of the quaint courtyard.

She didn't rush to let the torrent leave, otherwise she would definitely have noticed something was wrong.

In the days to come, a few more rain showers will come from time to time, just to make a show of it.

Regarding the "fishing" incident, Chung Chang did not specify how to do it, but let her do it herself.

Later on, it mostly became casual conversation.

When Zhong Chang heard that Ye Chenyang's gift for confessing his love was a heirloom, even the well-traveled Zhong Chang couldn't help but lose his composure.

However, he didn't say anything more.

Using a legacy mark that's not currently needed to lure back an overpowered [Doomsday] is definitely worth it.

More importantly, as long as Ye Chenyang is still around, Jiang Mian will not defect, and will be even more "stable" than most humans.

The case of the Boundless Gate is right before our eyes; below the highest level, anyone could be a traitor.

Before leaving, Zhong Chang left Ye Chenyang with an open-ended task.

Whether he accepts the call or not is entirely up to him.

Currently, Ye Chenyang's cultivation progress is second only to the earliest awakened [Origin], and it's time for him to get involved in some work.

Simply put, it's about building up reputation; you can report in anytime.

Incidentally, this would also allow them to arrange a sinecure for Jiang Mian, mainly so that the two of them could be together legitimately.

Ye Chenyang accepted and chose the Department of Supervision.

The two embarked on a secluded path, not in a hurry to return.

Since we're under Elder Zhong's watchful eye, and without Wangchuan's spies, we can be a bit more relaxed here.

Jiang Mian quickened her pace, ran up to Ye Chenyang, and joked:

"Hehe, nice to meet you, Inspector Ye!"

For ordinary people to become inspectors, not only must their own strength reach the sixth rank, but they also need to pass a series of assessments and background checks, which is very troublesome.

Unlike Ye Chenyang, who just got a green light and went straight in.

"So...Jiang, would you be willing to be my assistant?"

Jiang Mian blinked.

"What assistant?"

"Of course, the kind that's close-fitting."

"Hmm~ something sounds off about what you just said?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mian couldn't help but recall some unhealthy thoughts.

It feels like some kind of play.

She quickly changed the subject and asked:

"We'll talk about that later. Brother Ye, did you choose this position for the 'fishing' plan?"

Ye Chenyang glanced at the blush rising on her face and wisely refrained from teasing her further.

The location is not suitable.

"Yes. I'll roughly screen those traitors to draw their attention. When the time is right, we can make our move."

"As for Yin Mengyao, she'll be brought here tonight and continue to hide in the shadows. You can say whatever you want."

Oh?

In other words, these two will be the main characters next?

Jiang Mian seemed to be deep in thought and did not pursue the matter further.

"Alright, let's talk about the reporting later. Take a good rest these next few days."

Jiang Mian's special period was still ongoing, Ye Chenyang remembered it clearly.

You've encountered a series of troubles these past few days; it must have been very difficult, right?

"I checked the house on my way out this morning. It seemed pretty good. Shall we go home now?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mian's eyes lit up.

Home...

She nodded and affirmed:

"Let's go home!"
