Flowers: Don't you like my flowers?

She tightened her grip, afraid of crushing this fragile human who wasn't even a superhuman.

She only wanted to control him, not kill him.

"What else could it be?" Ye Jiang stared at him, her tone flat, and stated, "Because I'm very strong."

Cao An: "..."

Ye Jiang gently controlled one of them, then glanced at the other. She stared at Wang Zhiqiang, who had inexplicably become excited and frenzied halfway there, and said, "Do you want to come over and stand against the wall by yourself, or do you want me to 'send' you over?"

To "send off" someone in the same way one would "send off" Cao An.

Wang Zhiqiang asked, confused, "Huh?"

Ye Jiang stared at him with unfriendly eyes. "Come here, I have something to ask you two."

Chapter 148 Flowers Don't you like my flowers?

This is the back entrance of a large shopping mall. The alleyway it connects to is shrouded in darkness by high-rise residential buildings. The mall has a good flow of customers, but the traffic is all diverted to the front, leaving the back entrance deserted. A sudden downpour hit the city, and people flocked into the mall, making the already quiet back entrance even more deserted. The only visible sights are the mannequins displaying clothes in the mall windows. Several mannequins stand silently in the windows, gazing at the dark alleyway and the conflicts that are taking place here.

The rain created by the props continued, but the intensity gradually subsided. Under the eaves, Wang Zhiqiang stood pressed against the wall, his neck hunched, his eyes darting around. He had some questions about Ye Jiang, who had called him over, but he held back.

It has an opening.

Just when he was so terrified that his heart was about to explode, the questioning began.

"Before the time reversal, a government vehicle caught fire near the police station." Ye Jiang stared expressionlessly at Wang Zhiqiang, paused for two seconds, then looked at Cao An, whom she was holding down. Thinking about what might happen next, she silently set up a barrier to prevent outsiders from observing this place. Only after doing this did she ask the two, "Explain yourselves, who did it?"

"It wasn't me!" Wang Zhiqiang was the first to answer. "It was Cao An who did it. He used a prop to attack me, but it hit that car instead!"

Ye Jiang's eyes darkened slightly.

She looked down at Cao An, but Cao An didn't respond. He was immersed in some kind of blow, lost in his own little world.

Wang Zhiqiang was quite energetic. He was terrified of being misunderstood by Ye Jiang and tried desperately to explain, but he became more and more incoherent because of his excitement, which gave Ye Jiang a headache.

Now, in this group of four, the two suspects temporarily identified by Ye Jiang are either extremely excited or speechless, standing there dumbfounded. Beside them are two ordinary people, a man and a woman. They probably know what happened, but because they witnessed Ye Jiang subduing Cao An, they were a little frightened and just stared blankly at Ye Jiang.

Ye Jiang glanced at the four people, but couldn't find anyone who could give her a proper answer. After a moment of silence and a moment of thought, she slapped Cao An on the head.

Suddenly, a blue light screen appeared, and Wang Zhiqiang, Cao An, and several others were reflected in it, as if they had come to life within the screen.

The screen came to life, reenacting the entire incident of the official vehicle accident from Cao An's perspective.

This was something Ye Jiang had just come up with: to reconstruct the past using Cao An's memories.

This was her first time using this ability, and she made a small mistake; Cao An's image was slightly distorted.

But the ordinary men and women in the group didn't notice this small mistake. They all let out a soft gasp and stared at themselves on the screen with their mouths slightly open.

Ye Jiang paid no attention to them. The images disappeared after completing their mission. She watched the images and knew that the culprit of the accident was indeed Cao An alone, and had nothing to do with anyone else, so she didn't care about those who were unrelated.

As for the culprit...

Ye Jiang applied a little more pressure.

With a cry of pain, Cao An regained consciousness.

Once he was awake, his lips couldn't stay still.

"How could you be alright! I clearly used an A-Rank item, I saw you get hit with my own eyes, the shadow crawled into your arm, how could you be alright?!" Cao An shouted, struggling as he yelled, stretching his neck, his face flushed red with excitement.

A minute had long passed, and the person who should have been dead was still standing there, being held down like a grandson. Cao An couldn't let it go. Since he obtained the bracelet, he had been invincible using the items within it. This was the first time he had tasted defeat. How could he possibly accept this?

Because she's very strong?

How strong can it be?!

Cao An couldn't believe it. "There are only a handful of A-Rank ability users in the world, and every single one of them is a renowned figure. How could you, an unknown little ability user, possibly withstand a single attack from A-Rank user?"

Ye Jiang: "..."

This guy is incredibly self-absorbed; he's still thinking about this, which shows he's completely focused.

Ye Jiang glanced at him and suddenly let go of his hand. Cao An paused, then was overjoyed. Had his item finally taken effect? He knew it! It was a rare A-Rank item! Although it took effect a little late.

Suddenly finding himself in control again, Cao An was overjoyed. Thinking of his recent ordeal, he viciously wiped the blood from his nose, raised his head high, and looked at Ye Jiang with disdain.

Then he suddenly collapsed.

A cage appeared out of nowhere, covering his head. The cage was so small that he had to bend his head down to raise it, and even kneel down.

He knelt on both knees, his expression one of utter bewilderment.

what happened?

Ye Jiang looked at the cage in front of her, frowning slightly, somewhat dissatisfied with her own imagination. She wanted to create something that could both control this overly talkative human and free her own hands, and so she created this cage.

She hadn't figured out what to do with the murderer yet, so she decided to put him in a cage to keep him under control.

Since this was the first time making a cage, and there was no reference point, so...

The scale seems a bit off?

Ye Jiang looked down and examined the area, trying to make adjustments.

Then the cage became even smaller, so small that the person inside had to change from kneeling to lying down.

Cao An: "???"

Utter disgrace!

He slammed his fist against the cage, his expression one of humiliation as if he were about to die of anger on the spot.

He slammed the cage shut with a loud clang, spewing excrement: "You #%#"

"You're dead! You're dead for sure! How dare you humiliate me like this! I, Cao An, will never forgive you!"

"Woman, this is your superpower? Ha, this level of superpower can only be considered a trash F-Rank superpower, right? You're an F-Rank superpower user?"

"Ah, I see. You used a C-Rank confusion item on me earlier. You had an item! So my A-Rank item didn't actually hit you, which is why you're still unharmed! I see! So cunning! A petty trick! You..."

"Hey." Wang Zhiqiang, who was standing against the wall, suddenly spoke up, angrily interrupting Cao An's roar.

Wang Zhiqiang couldn't listen anymore.

"Cao An, haven't you heard of the City A Pollution-Hunting Competition? During the competition, didn't you see even one or two photos of the champion online?" Wang Zhiqiang's expression suddenly turned fanatical. "But winning the championship is just the tip of the iceberg. The real highlight is that during the crisis in City A afterward, our champion stepped forward, tore apart S-Rank Polluted, and saved City A from danger! Didn't you hear even a single word about it?"

Wang Zhiqiang was speaking to Cao An, but his eyes were fixed on Ye Jiang, his gaze so intense it seemed as if two flames were burning within them.

"That's right, the person in front of you is the champion who rose to fame overnight!" Wang Zhiqiang shouted excitedly.

Ye Jiang excited him to the point of being unable to contain himself.

However, what truly thrilled him was not Ye Jiang's championship title in the Pollution Hunting Competition, nor her astonishing achievement of tearing apart S-Rank Polluted. Of course, these also surprised him, but what truly captivated him, what filled him with both fear and admiration, was Ye Jiang, who could alter the levels of others' abilities and was someone only he had discovered—a person who had touched the realm of gods.

A sharp pain emanated from the Blood Moon mark on Wang Zhiqiang's hand; it was the phantom pain left behind by divine punishment for breaking his promise to God.

Wang Zhiqiang was so excited he was almost contorted.

"Impossible!" Cao An shouted from inside the cage, "How could this woman be Ye Jiang? Ye Jiang is Healer, a speed-type ability user!"

Cao An had heard of that Healer, but he had only heard of him. While information about the Healer was still available online, he had not watched or learned anything about it.

He glared at Ye Jiang: "You're not!"

Wang Zhiqiang looked at him, a hint of pity in his eyes. "God" was standing right in front of Cao An, yet he was completely unaware of it; Wang Zhiqiang felt sorry for him.

How could it be Ye Jiang?

Cao An was struck dumb, his eyes wide with shock. He questioned Ye Jiang, "Woman, tell me yourself, are you Ye... umm!"

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Jiang used her supernatural power to seal his mouth shut.

Seeing this, Wang Zhiqiang gloated. "Haha, Cao An, you're finished, you've messed with... um."

Ye Jiang also silenced Wang Zhiqiang.

Wang Zhiqiang: "..."

He felt wronged.

Both of them were silenced, and Ye Jiang finally got some peace and quiet. It had been too noisy; she should have shut them up sooner. She had let them run wild for too long.

The world fell silent. Ye Jiang tapped on the cage, turned to the young man who had been standing to the side, and asked, "This person... can he be sentenced to death in this situation?"

Ye Jiang knew that human crimes had a separate system of punishment, but she wasn't very clear about the specific sentencing. Could a murderer like Cao An be sentenced to death directly?

Ye Jiang, an upright citizen, doesn't have a habit of indiscriminately killing humans. She's a bit unsure how to deal with this murderer; keeping him under control is quite troublesome. What if human law allows her to kill him...?
