What?! My anime figures have all come true!

Chapter 173 Who is Chen Xiao? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

People always have a sense of wishful thinking.

Didn't Lin Chen ever consider that the one who killed the Deer Garden Mage might be a beautiful and powerful girl from that world?

Of course he had thought about it.

But the other party's level was too high. Lin Chen couldn't imagine that a powerful person capable of destroying the world would target their family, a family where few of the younger generation had awakened superpowers and who, apart from being rich, were not qualified to enter the extraordinary circle.

Having a clear understanding that he is a nouveau riche should be a good thing, but it is not for Lin Chen. His intense unease and lack of confidence make him unable to imagine the possibility that the other party could reconcile with them after suddenly killing them.

Therefore, an instinctive, antagonistic stress response was generated.

Of course, whether Remilia's destiny guided them is unclear.

The words are divided into two parts.

While the Lin family was in chaos, Zhao Qing, who was in the Central Hospital of Shanghai, woke up from her coma and found herself lying in a hospital bed.

She then discovered her phone was on the bedside table, and upon checking the time, she realized she had been unconscious for almost a week!

Zhao Qing immediately picked up her phone and dialed Li Linghan's number.

"President! You're awake!"

Li Linghan answered the call immediately upon seeing it, and before Zhao Qing could speak, she exclaimed with great joy.

The other members nearby gathered around when they heard the noise.

"Ling Han, what happened? How did I end up in the hospital?"

Clearly, Zhao Qing did not remember that her health was deteriorating and that she had fallen into a coma as a result.

"President, please don't worry, I'll explain it to you right away—"

Li Linghan recounted everything that happened after Zhao Qing fell into a coma, including how he couldn't reach the mysterious senior by phone, but instead summoned his female companions, easily uncovering the "traitor," and even bringing in a shamanic girl to exorcise the curse on her.

As for whether Misaki Shokuhou and the others might be from that world, Li Linghan and the others had their own guesses, but they were unwilling to believe it.

The reason is the same as Lin Chen's: Black Rock Shooter and the others are too high-level. Most people know about them through videos, live streams, or marketing accounts. It's like an ordinary person can watch a certain blonde-haired, big-breasted dragon perform stand-up comedy on the international stage every day, but they can't possibly see the real blonde-haired, big-breasted dragon in front of them and say that he will represent the Federation to give them a lot of money.

Therefore, Li Linghan and the others regarded it as a situation where "there are always people more capable than you, and there is always something beyond your understanding," rather than a legend appearing before them.

"ha?"

After hearing the whole story, Zhao Qing felt a little confused. How could she, the president of a small school club, have gotten involved in so many things?!

And then there's Lin Hai. It's unacceptable for him to join the mutual aid society even though he doesn't have superpowers. A superpower mutual aid society should be a community where all members with superpowers help each other.

So, just because I firmly refused to let him join, he had someone curse me and harm me?!

And Li Chen, a former member of the mutual aid society who is now in jail, was actually an accomplice to evil?!

This, this, this—

"What's wrong with this world?"

Zhao Qing felt an excruciating headache and instinctively lay back down on the bed, closing her eyes to escape reality through sleep.

However, what Zhao Qing didn't know was that a group of members from the Anomaly Management Bureau's countermeasures team were standing outside the ward at that moment, including Huang Qingque, who did indeed see the cursed image on Zhao Qing.

As for the information about Misaki Shokuhou and the others, it was naturally put on the desk of the Abnormal Events Management Bureau afterward. However, most of the information in it was both true and false.

"Railgun and teleportation —"

Looking at the hospital surveillance footage of Misaka Mikoto firing a railgun and Shirai Kuroko teleporting away with Misaka Mikoto and Li Chen, Liu Yaowen frowned.

"In addition, there is the ability to seemingly manipulate the human brain (truth-telling + controlling the unconscious body), and another ability to enhance the body almost superhumanly."

Finally, she drew a magic seal in the air, instantly dispelling the curse, revealing the shamanic girl who claimed to have "used the power of the gods"—

They all seem to come from that world.

The reason why Li Linghan and others became acquainted with them was actually because of that senior named Chen Xiao, who was also an extraordinary member of the Chen family in Fujian Province who had appeared in the previous Gao family incident.

But now this information needs to be seriously questioned.

Considering the state of mind of the third young master of the Gao family, which had been completely altered, it was hard for Liu Yaowen not to connect it to the brain manipulation abilities demonstrated by Misaki Shokuhou in the intelligence reports, and then to Chen Xiao's relationship with her—

No! Not only that!

Also, during the Blood Moon incident, the Demon Slayer Corps and the True Ancestor Akaya Moka went to rescue Chen Xiao's sister, Chen Xia. Among them, the one whose head was kicked and blown off by Akaya Moka was the Chen family's sworn enemy.

The Earthly Star Ghost General in the ghost-hunting livestream incident was approached by the Grim Reaper's agent because he was connected to the hacker organization Funeral Parlor. Funeral Parlor was related to the destruction of the Gao family and was also the cybersecurity department of Garden Group Co., Ltd.

The two bands under this company, End Band and Thornless Band, are both related to Chen Xiao. Among them, End Band became a hit at the comic convention at the beginning of the Gao family's destruction incident!

These are all connected!

"This is truly terrifying to think about! Mr. Chen Xiao, you wouldn't happen to be the 'elder' they're talking about, would you?"

But after saying this, Liu Yaowen couldn't help but laugh.

"How is this possible?!"

Chen Xiao's life story is much clearer than those of these girls of unknown origin. Even with his unusual behavior during college, he didn't have time to interact with outsiders, let alone become a significant figure in that world.

"That great person who can be connected with various powerful forces and even gods must be a top-level being, and Chen Xiao probably became a part of that world by chance."

Perhaps it was because he won over one of the girls that the other girls stepped in to help him, and incidentally completed their tasks as well.

"Damn it!"

Thinking about it this way, Liu Yaowen couldn't help but feel angry.

What makes that guy (Chen Xiao) so special?!

Fortunately, he quickly regained his composure.

After all, luck is something no one can predict.

But in any case, the interface between that world and reality has been found, and subsequent communication will be easier.

For now, it's best not to alert them; making contact rashly could be perceived as a hostile act.

(Here I have to tag a certain black bastard from the Avengers. In all Marvel fanfiction, this guy just likes to rashly "approach" the main character, and then get messed up by the fanfiction protagonist who feels unhappy about it.)

On the other hand, Chen Xiao, who had already been listed as a key person to watch, didn't feel anything was wrong after learning about this. He just regretted that he couldn't see Misaka Mikoto fire the Railgun in person.

If he were there, he would definitely scream with excitement.

As for the possibility of his identity being exposed?

Chen Xiao wasn't worried about this. He had the girls in the display case to cover for him. As long as it didn't blow up his network of connections, it wouldn't matter if he made a small mistake in the eyes of the Chinese government.

The day after his date with Aisha and Guan Jie ended, Sanae Kochiya, unable to contain herself any longer, approached him.

-

Of course, Sanae, who mainly wanted to be romantic, was mocked as a "coward" by Reimu Hakurei when she returned to the display case. In addition, her own goddesses, Kanako Yasaka and Suwako Moriya, were also disappointed in her and said, "If you like someone, just go for it! Stop being so indecisive!"

Then the following happened.

"Xiao, come here for a second, I need to talk to you—"

Standing at the bathroom door, Sanae Kochiya, dressed in casual clothes, waved to Chen Xiao with a nonchalant expression, as if she wanted to say something to him.

Chen Xiao had no doubts, but he was grabbed by Koufeng Valley Sanae after taking only a few steps forward.

"Gotcha!♡~! If the Hakurei Shrine Maiden can eat, so can I!♡"

Compared to Reimu Hakurei, who appears lazy and leisurely on the surface but is actually an energetic and enthusiastic little dog wagging its tail constantly when she takes action, Sanae Kochiya is more like a cat.

On the surface, she is a very ordinary human being, like the girl next door, but when people are relaxed, she will pounce as quickly as a cat pouncing on a mouse, and once she has her prey, she will not let go.

Then Chen Xiao was pulled into the bathroom by her.

It was just a bath.
