Background / History

Shelter investigation

Chen Jing begins investigating Lin Fan after surveillance identifies two people with no verifiable records—Tong Tian and Nüwa—appearing at his residence. She treats Lin Fan’s apartment as the target designation “Shelter,” upgrades surveillance, and requests activation of a “Mythology Genealogy” comparison program. 6

She personally leads the first visit to Lin Fan’s residence, questioning Tong Tian and Nüwa over their identities, origins, and possible threat to national security. Tong Tian’s dismissive response and implied ability to destroy the country with ease force her to abandon a direct confrontation in favor of continued monitoring. 9

After Tong Tian precisely predicts a stock surge that doubles Lin Fan’s investment within minutes, Chen Jing becomes increasingly suspicious of the residents’ ability to interfere with ordinary systems. 10

Escalating contact

Chen Jing returns with energy-detection equipment after detecting anomalous fluctuations around Nüwa’s Xi Rang sculpture. The device records stable but unresolvable, information-dense energy that appears to calm surrounding disturbances. 12

She later leads a more extensive inspection with energy physicist Professor Li Zhenguo and psychologist Dr. Su Qing. Nüwa’s explanation of creation, vitality, compassion, and love profoundly unsettles the team; Chen Jing ends the inquiry rather than press beyond their understanding. 16

When Lin Fan warns her that Demonic Qi is contaminating the city’s water supply, Chen Jing immediately keeps the communication line open and moves to deploy emergency resources. This marks a shift from treating Shelter solely as a threat to cooperating with its residents during a citywide crisis. 31

Policy shift

Chen Jing investigates Taishang Laojun’s “Ask Heart” clinic under the codename “Medicine Immortal,” initially assigning him a B+ risk assessment while recognizing his potential value for cooperation. 32

The Soul-Startling Pill incident—during which six intruders suffer catastrophic mental collapse—confirms that the group possesses powers beyond existing scientific models. Following high-level consultations, Chen Jing is directed to establish cautious, limited communication with the residents, prioritizing restraint, goodwill, and peaceful coexistence over coercion. 41 42

Appearance

Chen Jing presents herself in neat professional attire and carries an immediately authoritative presence. Her sharp, observant gaze is repeatedly emphasized during investigations. 9 12

• Wears a neat professional suit during official visits. 9
• Has sharp eyes and a serious expression. 9 12
• Maintains a composed, professional bearing even when confronted by supernatural phenomena. 16 42

Personality

Chen Jing is disciplined, skeptical, and strongly duty-driven. Her initial approach to Tong Tian and Nüwa is formal and confrontational, shaped by her responsibility to assess unknown individuals who may threaten public safety. 6 9

She is also pragmatic. Rather than provoking an opponent she cannot evaluate, Chen Jing repeatedly scales back active probing, maintains surveillance, and reassesses her methods when evidence contradicts conventional explanations. 9 11 37

Her encounters with Nüwa, Tong Tian, and Taishang Laojun gradually make her more cautious and respectful. She ultimately supports dialogue and coexistence, recognizing that official authority alone cannot control the beings residing at Shelter. 16 32 42

Investigative Work

Recorded target assessments

Target	Chen Jing’s recorded assessment or action
Tong Tian	Classified as Target Two; his B+ risk level warrants maximum-alert surveillance and avoidance of provocative contact. 11
Gong Gong	Recorded as Target Four, codenamed “Giant Strength”; assessed at Grade B Mid after his public displays of inhuman strength and defense. 21
Taishang Laojun	Codenamed “Medicine Immortal”; assessed at B+, with notable cooperation value despite his danger. 32
Jumang	Recorded as Target Five, codenamed “Green Spirit”; placed under continued observation for plant manipulation and life-field interference. 43

Relationships

• Lin Fan — Initially the central subject of the Shelter investigation; later becomes Chen Jing’s essential contact during supernatural emergencies. 6 9 31
• Tong Tian — A primary high-risk subject. Their first exchange is openly hostile, and his overwhelming presence shapes Chen Jing’s later caution. 9 11 42
• Nüwa — Nüwa’s calm mediation prevents Chen Jing’s first visit from escalating into conflict; her teachings on creation and love alter Chen Jing’s understanding of the group. 9 16
• Taishang Laojun — Investigates him as “Medicine Immortal” after his clinic and Qingre Pill attract public and official attention. 32 33
• Professor Li Zhenguo and Dr. Su Qing — Specialists brought by Chen Jing for Shelter’s comprehensive energy and psychological assessment. 16
