Although Jiang Chun had already been appointed head of the field operations departments in Thailand and Myanmar, Southeast Asia, and had even met Old He and Mr. Liang, this was still his first time meeting Xia Libing, and he felt somewhat excited.
Naturally, this excitement had nothing to do with seeing a beautiful woman. Rather, from his conversations with Mr. Liang and Old He, as well as his communication with Alice through the communications equipment, he had reached a conclusion of his own:
Xia Libing, who was currently responsible for establishing the entire Mutated Creature research system and building the Mutated Creature management mechanism within the country, was the person closest to that "creator of the Eight-Armed Eight-Eyed Giant," the "savior who resolved the Antarctic crisis," the "controller of the lightning storm," the "source of everything."
Jiang Chun's feelings toward Xiang Kun were far more complicated than those of Mr. Liang or Old He. At the most desperate and disheartened point in his life, when he had even firmly resolved to die, he saw the illusion of the Eight-Armed Eight-Eyed Giant. The fear that surged up from the depths of his heart jolted him awake, making him see the true needs and fears within himself. Then his body mutated, and his life underwent earth-shaking changes. He had truly found a way out of a hopeless situation.
Even now, he still believed that his mutation and his chance at a new life had both come from the illusion of the Eight-Armed Eight-Eyed Giant, from Xiang Kun, who had created that illusion.
Later, he saw the "Eight-Armed Eight-Eyed Giant" cross the sea and arrive with the might of heaven and earth, rescuing him from danger. He saw the colossal sea monster that had nearly killed him get punished and blasted to death
