Kisaragi's Long-Strange Collection Notes

As Chen Meimei and her two companions left, the students began to murmur amongst themselves.

The first person to go out said that his abilities were related to water and curses, which didn't surprise anyone because he was telling the truth.

Regardless of the intensity, the performance in terms of ability certainly reflects the actual situation.

But Chen Meimei is different; he knows nothing about porcelain.

We spent six years in the same school; you could say we grew up together.

In the earliest days of student life, it wasn't common for abilities to be kept secret.

Keeping it a secret is something for after graduation.

Putting aside everything else, if you don't showcase your skills at school, how can you develop them, and how can your mentors provide guidance?

Just as Liu Bo knew the abilities of others, most of the trainees also knew roughly what Chen Meimei's abilities were.

Chen Meimei is actually quite famous at school.

Even the famous campus belle, Yi Shuangzi, would greet him whenever she passed by.

He doesn't recognize others because he's lost his memory, but everyone else still recognizes him.

Chen Meimei became famous for two reasons:

One reason is his mother, Chen Miaomiao; the other is his own abilities.

As everyone knows, Chen Meimei's ability is related to moonlight—he can emit his own light, pure moonlight.

With a rudimentary ability rating of 0.99 [mystery], this ability is practically useless.

It has neither offensive nor defensive capabilities; it seems to be able to only suddenly open and close in the dark, dazzling others' eyes.

Ordinary students might laugh at this weak ability.

However, school leaders and discerning students always chose to cultivate a good relationship with Chen Meimei.

Being weak now does not mean being weak in the future.

You should know that although the light emitted by Chen Meimei is weak, he is the only one who can continuously emit moonlight in the fog!

Suppose that one day, as he grows up, the moonlight he emits can cover the entire city, does that mean that the fog will be driven out of the city when there is no tomorrow?

If that day ever comes, Chen Meimei will definitely be the most sought-after person in every city and by every race in the world.

Even if we don't look that far, as long as Chen Meimei can emit light that covers an entire floor, who in [No Tomorrow] wouldn't want to be with him?

Dr. Hua helped Old Jiang walk very slowly.

"How should I address you, young friend?"

"My name is Chen Meimei."

"Hmm?" Old Jiang paused slightly.

The name Chen Meimei easily reminds people of Chen Miaomiao, who was the great witch back then...

"Mr. Jiang, we've arrived." Dr. Hua interrupted Mr. Jiang's reminiscence.

The interior of the secret room was very simple: two sofas and a coffee table in the middle, nothing more.

Even in such a simple environment, for a "hospital," there are not many people who have the right to use it.

Every year, only a very small minority of people, like Elder Jiang and the former head of the Crow Feather Society who changed gender, can bring people to the secret room just by asking.

The three of them sat down.

"Young friend Chen, what type of healing ability does your friend possess?"

"My friend doesn't know how to treat it."

Dr. Hua frowned slightly upon hearing this, while Old Jiang remained unmoved.

"My friend's abilities are somewhat like those of Jiang Zemin, who was just a pretty face."

Mr. Jiang and Dr. Hua's expressions changed drastically.

"Young friend, do you mean your friend can help me escape the state of being assimilated by the porcelain vase?"

Chen Meimei wasn't quite sure: "I don't know. My friend's power is very similar to this vase, but not exactly the same. At least it won't have the golden threads and iron wires like you have."

"That's enough. Is your friend also a soon-to-be graduate? If so, the Jiang family will do everything in its power to help him pass his graduation exams. Oh, and you too, young friend."

"Can you help with the graduation exam?"

Dr. Hua didn't want Mr. Jiang to talk too much, lest his condition worsen, so he explained on his behalf:

"No one can help you face the strangeness alone, but the support of a large family, who arm you to the teeth, can give you more opportunities to try and fail."

"Oh, my friend isn't from the school; she already has a high level of mystery."

Old Jiang's face lit up with joy.

A ready-made mystery person is even better; there's no need to worry about dying in the graduation exam, and their abilities are already mature and more powerful.

"Young friend Chen, do you know what conditions your friend would need to be willing to lend a helping hand?"

Chen Meimei thought for a moment: "My friend really likes antique porcelain. If Old Jiang's collection includes..."

"No problem, I'll give all my porcelain collection to your friend."

Old Jiang immediately agreed. His whole family was about to die, so he didn't care about collectibles at all, especially since the other party only wanted porcelain.

"Mr. Jiang, now you can tell me where that vase is."

"I've locked it in a sealed coffin."

The sealed coffin is specially used to store extremely dangerous items. After several days of learning, Chen Meimei had only vaguely heard of it.

"Mr. Jiang, are you able to leave the hospital? My friend might not be able to come in here."

Old Jiang didn't answer, but turned his head directly and said, "Dr. Hua, please process my discharge procedures. I'll leave with Chen Xiaoyou later."

For the next hour or so, Chen Meimei and Old Jiang sat in the secret room drinking tea and chatting.

Dr. Hua went to complete the discharge procedures.

Chen Meimei followed Old Jiang out of the visiting room. Regardless of whether they reached an agreement or not, Chen Meimei could not go back.

Visiting someone in the hospital is both a transaction and an opportunity; each person only has one chance to seize it.

The trainees are, and so are the patients.

After completing the formalities, Dr. Hua returned to the private room.

"Old Jiang, that's enough. You can take Chen Meimei and leave now."

"Yes, Dr. Hua, I'm so grateful for your care these past few days. I'm worried about my old bones getting hurt on this journey. Could you please walk with me a little further?"

"Of course, I will remain your attending physician for today, Dr. Jiang."

"Haha, let's go."

Chen Meimei: "Leaving now? I came with my classmates."

"We'll go ahead first. Your classmates each have their own destiny, and everyone will follow their own path at their own pace."

"Oh, let's go then."

The matchbox-shaped car drove away from the hospital.

The driver was driving, Dr. Hua was sitting in the front, and Old Jiang and Chen Meimei were sitting in the back.

"Go to Chen Xiaoyou's house first and pick up his friend," Old Jiang instructed the driver.

Dr. Hua smiled as he spoke. He knew that Old Jiang only appeared calm on the surface, but was actually more anxious than anyone else.

Chen Meimei is about to take her graduation exam, so Old Jiang naturally wants to finalize things today. After all, things might change if it's delayed, and if Chen Meimei dies during the exam, then all the promises will be for nothing.

When they arrived at the building, Chen Meimei got out of the car alone and went upstairs to pick up her friend.

About twenty minutes.

Chen Meimei came downstairs alone again, this time with a beautiful pendant inside her collar.

"We've picked him up, Mr. Jiang. Let's go to the vase."

Upon seeing that Chen Meimei was still alone, Elder Jiang and Dr. Hua did not ask any questions and went directly to the Jiang family ancestral home.

Jiang Family Villa.

Chen Meimei looked at the "villa" in front of her and secretly complained:

The world's elite live in this place, but they don't live a very good life.

A villa is not some kind of manor, Western-style building, or small garden. In this world, not every high-rise building or low-rise building for family use is called a villa.

The Jiang family villa is a five-story building.

The interior is open-plan, making it a large, single-level apartment with five floors.

Mr. Jiang's wife passed away early, and the Jiang family now mainly consists of four members: Mr. Jiang, his son and daughter-in-law, and his granddaughter.

"Dad, you're back?" Jiang Li, Old Jiang's son, came out to greet him.

Chen Meimei noticed that Jiang Li also had slight cracks on his face.

"Yes, this is the expert I invited back to solve the problem, Chen Meimei. Take us directly to the basement."

"Okay, this way please."

Dr. Hua did not go with them; he was taken to the reception room by the maid.

Jiang Li sized up Chen Meimei.

In the mysterious world, there is never the saying, "Just because someone is young, does that mean they are incompetent."

[Mysterious] abilities are the most unreasonable.

Upon entering the building, one passes through three layers of security doors.

Chen Meimei arrived in front of a row of coffins.

The third coffin.

"The vase is in here."

"Open it."

Jiang Li glanced at Elder Jiang, who nodded slightly.

The coffin was opened using a complex method.

After the coffin was opened, a Ge kiln porcelain vase was found quietly inside.

With a jade-like base color, gray-black and yellow lines form gold and iron wires, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, with graceful curves, making it very beautiful overall.

Three blurry human figures are outlined in the gold and iron wire.

"Mr. Jiang, I need a quiet room."

"it is good."

Back on the first floor, Chen Meimei carried the porcelain bottle alone and entered a tea room.

Lock the door.

Blue and white porcelain peeked out from the pendant around Chen Meimei's neck.

"Blue and white porcelain, this bottle has special abilities, take a look."

"Hmm? This is a [mysterious item]."

Blue and white porcelain experts can spot flaws at a glance without even touching them.

What does "[mysterious item]" mean?

"The unusual in living things are called the bizarre, and the unusual in inanimate objects are called [mysterious items]. Similar to the bizarre, [mysterious items] have magical functions, but they are also accompanied by uncontrollable side effects."

"Will this be useful to you?"

"Of course, if I absorb this, I can become even more [mysterious]. I estimate that this one is worth hundreds of antique bottles."

"There's something else. This bottle seems to have tampered with a family outside. Could you also help sever their connection with it?"

"Let me see. Hmm, no problem. This is the ability of my porcelain-like subordinates."

"Alright, after you break their connection, just absorb the bottle."

More than half an hour later.

Chen Meimei walked out of the room.

Old Jiang, accompanied by two others, strode forward with great speed. He was radiant and needed no assistance, showing no trace of his frail and elderly appearance from a moment ago.

Chen Meimei stepped forward with a smile: "Old Jiang, you've already felt it, haven't you? I've accomplished my mission."

"Good! Good! Young friend Chen, you are a great benefactor to my Jiang family. You two, why don't you come up and thank us?"

There was a man and a woman behind Jiang Lao.

The middle-aged man I just met is Jiang Li.

The woman had white hair and wore white clothes, with a white mask on her face. Her long and charming eyes were like autumn water, full of grace and charm.

She stepped forward, nodded slightly, and partially removed her mask to express her gratitude and introduce herself: "Hello, Senior Chen. I am Jiang Gui from the fifth grade. I am extremely grateful for your help."

Chen Meimei tilted her head and thought for a moment: Jiang Gui? Jiang Gui, ranked number 1 on the campus demon list?

Chen Meimei was very confused, and even a little suspicious, wondering if she had been fooled by Liu Bo before.

Or is it someone with the same name?

How could such a well-behaved, sensible, and charming junior be some kind of campus devil?
