"Commander... Chief, should we save her?"
San Duo leaned forward and asked in a low voice.
Before Jiangnan could answer, he added, "I think I just heard her say she was a cook."
Jiangnan glanced at him and shook his head.
He understood why San Duo had this idea.
The military is a place for long-term closed training, almost a completely different world from the outside world.
Most soldiers are simple and kind-hearted, and they are easily deceived by those who have lost their conscience after they come out of prison.
He took Memo Pad out of his pocket and held it up.
[Watch carefully, and don't speak.]
San Duo immediately covered his mouth and said in a muffled voice, "Yes, Chief, I'll listen to you."
Jiangnan turned around to face the pool, her brows slightly furrowed.
It was an act.
At the same time, he began to mentally craft his Inner Voice.
In the pool, Chu Meizi was splashing around.
She had choked on water several times, her hair was wet and stuck to her face, and she looked extremely disheveled.
But the moment she saw Jiangnan turn around, she felt it was all worth it.
Because new Inner Voice had already entered her mind.
"Hmm? Or am I just imagining things?"
"No, that's not right, that's too strange."
"Under normal circumstances, how could a drowning person float to the surface so calmly? They should be sinking!"
"This girl is definitely acting; she can swim!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Meizi almost lost control of her expression.
She continued to choke on water while mentally complaining.
"Those Huaxia Person! Why are they so suspicious!"
"I'm practically full from drinking water! And he still says I'm composed! What's so composed about me?!"
"Huh? Huh?!"
Ashore.
Jiangnan almost couldn't suppress a smile as he watched Chu Meizi dive down to drink water.
They've taken the bait.
He glanced at the [See Through] panel in his pupils, which displayed the latest status.
[Name]: Chu Meizi
[Current state]: Anxious, angry.
The water is being polluted and is undergoing a bizarre transformation (current progress: 69%).
[Note]: Negative emotions can accelerate the transformation process.
"Negative emotions are basically resentment... The progress is already 69%."
"This thing will turn into a monster soon if we keep using it."
"Then let me add fuel to the fire and see what secrets this Prayer Deep Pool holds."
Jiangnan stroked his chin, preparing to continue expressing his Inner Voice...
"Tasket!"
Chu Meizi suddenly screamed.
"I can swim! But the wreckage of the submarine has my ankle stuck!"
"Please, please come and save me! I'm about to collapse from exhaustion~ glug glug!"
Finally, she gritted her teeth and took a big gulp of seawater.
This time, many soldiers pursed their lips tightly.
Because what Chu Meizi said sounded too reasonable.
She floated calmly on the surface at first, which shows that she can indeed swim.
However, his ankle was stuck, and he couldn't get up on his own, so he could only wait.
I'm exhausted now and starting to panic...
That's perfectly reasonable.
The only thing that cannot be confirmed is her identity.
Fortune watched this scene, then looked down at the note Jiangnan had just handed him.
He understood that his Chief See Through his thoughts.
However, he did not approve of the other party's command.
This is inconsistent with the spirit of bravery and righteousness they were instilled with from childhood.
He couldn't just watch someone drown in the water.
Even the soldiers in the entire company couldn't do it.
"Chief, let me go!"
Wow! I'm a good swimmer!
"Chief, we'll be careful!"
A group of people stepped forward to volunteer.
Jiangnan remained silent.
San Duo became anxious. "Chief, why can't we go?"
Jiangnan put her index finger to her lips.
"Shh!"
Word Spirit: Silence!
In an instant, all voices disappeared.
San Duo opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
Fortune stared wide-eyed, his mouth opening and closing.
Thirty meters away, Chu Meizi's cries for help continued.
But within a radius of thirty meters, apart from Jiangnan, no one could utter a single word.
Jiangnan understood their feelings.
These soldiers lacked his "See Through" and were unaware of Chu Meizi's schemes and tricks.
So...
Let them watch.
He tore off a note and handed it to San Duo.
[Do not approach the Prayer Deep Pool!]
After reading it, San Duo nodded vigorously and quickly showed the note to the others.
The crowd remained still and obediently stood in place.
Military orders are absolute.
Obeying orders is a soldier's duty.
But inevitably some people will disagree, standing there sulking, expressing their incomprehension with their eyes.
Jiangnan doesn't care.
He continued to voice his Inner Voice, as if manipulating a puppet...
In the pool, Chu Meizi was secretly delighted.
She felt her plan was flawless.
This is the most perfect lie.
Only by going into the water and seeing it for yourself can you see the truth.
At the same time, she couldn't wait to hear Inner Voice.
Those pushovers in China who repay evil with good will definitely come to her aid!
Sure enough, the Inner Voice of Jiangnan has arrived!
"So it was because your ankle was stuck? That makes sense."
"Just to be on the safe side, and for the sake of our army's reputation, let's rescue this guy who looks like Commoner first."
Chu Meizi was so pleased after hearing this that she almost choked.
It's here!
It's finally here!
She thrashed about to shore while inwardly laughing wildly.
Just wait and see how I use my Suppression to drag you down with me!
Her mouth stretched from ear to ear in a wide grin.
It's not because she's good at making exaggerated facial expressions, but because her body is turning white, swollen, and rotting!
The soldiers on the shore, seeing that Jiangnan had finally moved, exchanged glances, each conveying their understanding.
"The Chief is really smart; he's waiting for the drowning person to become exhausted before going into the water, to avoid being dragged down by them."
Fortune, but then he slapped himself in the face.
"How stupid of me! The Chief is going to rescue him personally! To show his greatness, how could I steal his thunder?"
San Duo sensed something was wrong.
He always felt that the Chief's behavior was strange and that it was inextricably linked to the woman in the water.
He removed the sniper scope and brought it close to his eyes for a closer look.
Just then, a blood-black pupil peeked out from among Chu Meizi's disheveled hair!
What kind of human being is that?
He's clearly a water ghost!
San Duo rushed forward, reached out to pull Jiangnan up, and shouted, "Chief, be careful! You can't go into the water!"
But no sound came out.
His face turned red with anxiety as he frantically tugged at Jiangnan's clothes.
Chu Meizi was so excited that she trembled all over.
Bring it on!
Come on!
She stared intently at the foot dangling above the water in Jiangnan, the bloodlust in her eyes growing ever stronger...
Then.
Jiangnan withdrew her foot.
It's back?!
Everyone:???
Chu Meizi:???
"What... what are you doing?!"
Chu Meizi's voice changed, "Weren't you going to come down and save me?!"
Jiangnan remained silent.
He glanced down at her, a smile playing on his lips.
Then, Inner Voice resonated.
"Oh, I almost forgot."
"I was just teasing her."
"Actually, I See Through her intention to destroy everything, and all those fabricated Inner Voice about her inner thoughts were fake."
"I can't believe this idiot actually thought he could hear what I was thinking."
"Ha ha ha ha."
Chu Meizi froze completely.
She floated on the water, like a wooden stake standing upright, completely still.
He just stared straight at Jiangnan.
Jiangnan was also looking at her.
His dragon-like features were fully revealed, without any attempt to conceal them.
That look clearly said:
Yes, no doubt about it, it was me.
Chu Meizi's pupils began to tremble violently.
[Strange Transformation Progress: 80%...90%...95%...]
"Fake..."
She murmured to herself.
"It's all fake..."
[96%...97%...98%...]
"So this bastard was the one who tricked me!"
Her voice changed from a whisper to a scream.
"There is no second Supernatural Ability at all!"
Your Inner Voice is your power!
You're fooling me!!!
[99%...]
Chu Meizi's pupils were completely consumed by blood red.
"Damn China men!"
"I hate it! I hate it so much!!!"
[100%!]
