Chapter 71: Chapter 70: The Admirer’s Distortion
"Wu Liang, can you see any pattern?" Jiang Min said with some unease.
But Wu Liang, standing opposite, just scratched the back of his head awkwardly and said, "I’m not sure, I have no clue."
How come he and his female superior had so many coincidental connections? Until now, he thought they only met at the TV station for the first time, unaware that he had unintentionally saved her several times over the years?
Looking at it this way, Wu Liang discovered something terrifying!
Jiang Min’s precognitive dreams - they turned out to be 100% accurate!
She always thought her ability would occasionally fail, and had been considered a fraud by others more than once. Plus, the officials determined she wasn’t an Awakened, so she now hesitated to tell others about the predictions.
Like the time at the TV station with the Teapot Ghost, if she hadn’t bumped into Wu Liang, Jiang Min would have quietly left the range of the supernatural event on her own.
"Then what should I do... Am I really doomed? Shouldn’t I go seek help from your brother officially?" Jiang Min was a bit panicked.
She thought about how Wu Liang’s brother was an Official Awakened, maybe he’d believe what she said.
Upon hearing this, Wu Liang just shook his head and said, "Don’t rush, which day did you dream you’d die?"
"Three days later, that is next Tuesday."
"!?"
Upon hearing this sensitive time, Wu Liang squinted his eyes, falling into deep thought, realizing something was wrong.
Next Tuesday, those corrupt officials were invited to the banquet organized by the Promised Land, and it was also when Jiang Min would have an accident.
This is likely not a coincidence!
"Sister Jiang, are you going on a business trip next Tuesday?"
Suddenly hearing Wu Liang say this, Jiang Min froze for a moment, then said somewhat uncertainly, "Seems like there’s an interview task, I have to go to a high-level leadership banquet, the higher-ups specifically asked me to do the interview."
"That’s it!"
In a moment, all the confusion became crystal clear!
At the banquet, not only will there be human-made incidents, but also Fierce Ghosts will appear!
After understanding everything, Wu Liang patted his chest with conviction and said, "Don’t worry Sister Jiang, my brother will also attend the banquet, he’ll protect you!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Min’s anxious heart eased a little.
The last time Wu Liang confidently assured her nothing would happen at his doorstep, she indeed did not encounter any supernatural events after entering.
This time, she’s naturally inclined to believe him.
Bang——
Both were in a "just relax from here on" mindset when a strange noise suddenly came from the doorway.
Since it only appeared for a brief moment and wasn’t loud, Jiang Min didn’t notice it.
But Wu Liang was no ordinary person; his ears twitched as he flipped over the couch and rushed to the peephole for a glance outside.
But he couldn’t see any living thing.
At the same time, the oil paper umbrella in the umbrella stand by the door transmitted a consciousness.
Apparently, someone outside indeed intended to eavesdrop on what was happening inside the house, but after accidentally bumping a trash can in the corridor, making a startling noise, fled in a panic.
Bumping a trash can?
Such a basic error?
That’s probably not the guy who sent the Monkey Claw to sneak attack me this morning; that guy couldn’t even be detected by the oil paper umbrella and Phone Ghost!
So, this intruder isn’t targeting me.
Targeting Jiang Min?
Wu Liang’s mind spun rapidly at this moment, instantly deducing the eavesdropper’s origins outside the door.
"Sister Jiang, come take a look, do you recognize this person?"
Without a shred of hesitation, Wu Liang headed straight to the window, seeing a silhouette rushing out of the building, urging Jiang Min to take a look.
When she saw that fleeing figure, she visibly showed a surprised expression.
"I recognize him. That’s the blind date I mentioned last time when I visited your house. Didn’t he stand me up then? Later, my family arranged another meeting with him, and when we met, he said he was very satisfied and agreed to date me."
"But I feel this person has a strong desire to control, wanting everything to be under his command, and he’s insanely narcissistic. So, I deleted his contact information."
"How did he end up here?"
After hearing this, Wu Liang didn’t respond.
He silently watched the man below hurriedly climb into a Porsche and leave the district quickly.
He seemed afraid of being caught on the spot.
This guy... Why does he feel like a pervert?
"Ha, Sister Jiang, your admirer seems a bit off, how does he know you’re here?"
When saying this, Wu Liang’s tone became somewhat cold.
It’s not because he had any particular feelings toward Jiang Min and got jealous or anything, mostly it was because he sensed a familiar aura that reminded him of some unpleasant memories and got a bit angry.
An aura that’s foul and nauseating...
"You mean... he’s been stalking me?!"
Jiang Min couldn’t help but shiver, not expecting him to be this kind of person; they only met once, but turned out he’s a pervert!
Thinking of a pervert secretly trailing her out of the house was spine-chilling enough, let alone when he’d been watching her residence!
"It’s not as simple as stalking."
Wu Liang felt that he couldn’t possibly forget that familiar aura in a short time!
After all, if one can’t remember the aura of something trying to alter one’s memory, then it’s a life wasted!
Monkey Claw!
Or rather, mass-produced Monkey Claw!
The stalker had a foul stench of Monkey Claw and similar supernatural objects!
"Interesting, first attacked me in the morning, then started affecting those around me, Promised Land... How many supernatural objects have you deployed in Chengyang City?"
"What’s your real objective?"
These supernatural items, rare on regular days, now started appearing en masse.
Wu Liang had a bad feeling; this organization seeks something big!
"Sister Jiang, what’s that guy’s name? Where does he live?" Wu Liang casually asked.
He wanted to see why this ordinary person would have his memory altered by the Promised Land using Monkey Claw.
Zhang Hang was used because, as the head of Chengyang City’s best private hospital, he could easily get long-term access to influence certain officials, pulling them down.
But what value does this pervert have?
Jiang Min hesitated a bit and said, "His name is Jiang Tao Hong, he lives in Rose District on Xinpu South Road in Lingshan District."
"Got it, Sister Jiang, why don’t you head home for now? I guarantee this guy won’t be stalking you anymore."
With that, Wu Liang headed into the bedroom.
He then came out holding a modern weapon filled with violent aesthetics design -
an official standard pistol.
This was what Minister Long told him to collect from the armory after he became 007 when leaving the base.
The original words were: "Being an ordinary person, your brother can’t protect you around the clock, you need something to defend yourself, right?"
Watching him expertly check the parts of the pistol, Jiang Min was stunned.
"Wu Liang, privately holding a firearm is... illegal, right?" She said timidly.
"Don’t worry, just a toy gun, it’s fine, carrying it to boost my courage."
Wu Liang said cheerily, then took two bullets filled with gunpowder from the drawer and loaded them into the magazine, enjoying the crisp sound during the gun check.
He smiled.
I bet no guy can resist this beautiful touch and sound...
