The slacker's backer-backer, get in there!

She crouched down to check on the citizen's condition. Unlike Ming Chun, this citizen was indeed completely dead.

Xiao Pei, her face cold, searched the citizen's body for his identification, put it away, looked at the citizen's corpse for a while, then got up and returned to Ming Xia's side. Xiao Pei stood beside the genius, looking down at him holding his albino, Pollution, human-form sister. Their genius from the Ability Control Bureau had never shown the slightest surprise at her sister's transformation from the beginning, clearly already aware of her sister's condition.

"Could you explain?" Xiao Pei asked, her expression calm. But in reality, her heart was in turmoil.

Xiao Pei had a guess. Based on the case of the special Polluted found by the Special Affairs Office, she had a suspicion.

It's possible that conscious Polluted truly exist in this world, Ming Chun might very well be one. She may have had some extraordinary Polluted that shocked the world, which is why she turned into what she is now.

Xiao Pei's gaze hardened as she stared at Ming Xia, yearning for the truth.

Once Ming Xia stopped and confirmed that her sister was alright, she was no longer the carefree Ming Xia once was.

She awkwardly clung to her older sister, her eyes darting nervously as she secretly glanced at Ye Jiang.

Xiao Pei: "."

Oh, and there's more than one person in the know.

Ye Jiang kept a blank expression, showing no intention of offering any explanation.

But it doesn't prevent others from explaining.

Ming Xia noticed Ye Jiang's attitude and gave Ye Jiang an apologetic look, explaining that she and her sister had caused trouble for their teacher.

"Um..." Ming Xia looked up at Xiao Pei and whispered, "Captain Xiao... could I explain after this is over?"

She needs to discuss it with her older sister after she wakes up, and she also needs to talk to the teacher.

Xiao Pei: "."

Just then, a commotion came from downstairs. It was the officials from the illusion who had found their way here and were arriving with their entourage. This wasn't slow; the video feed in the central square hadn't been playing for very long. They were all ability users on their side, and with Ye Jiang leading the way, they were able to get here ahead of time.

Xiao Pei wiped her face and responded to Ming Xia's expectant reply, "Okay."

Let's wait until this is all over and then talk it out all at once!

This was no place to linger, so Xiao Pei gestured for Ming Xia to leave. Ming Xia smoothly helped her sister up. Xiao Pei then looked at Ye Jiang Ye Jiang, who was standing by the building looking into the distance, showing no intention of leaving with them. Xiao Pei called her name, and Ye Jiang said, "You guys go."

"... And what about you?"

"I'll go find someone."

It goes without saying who she's going to see.

Xiao Pei paused for a moment, glanced at the bizarre corpse upstairs, and then recalled the ruthless girl on the screen who had pierced Ming Chun's chest...

"Do you know where she is?" she asked Ye Jiang.

Ye Jiang nodded. "I found it."

A map unseen by humans unfolded beneath her feet; the girl's every move was now under her control.

How did you find it?!

Xiao Pei resisted the urge to ask her.

"Then I'll go with you," Xiao Pei said. Ming Xia was standing nearby, overheard this and interjected, "Then I'll too..."

"You're not allowed to go," Xiao Pei interrupted her. "You're only A-Rank, too low. Even your sister, an S-Rank Polluted, suffered a loss against that girl. It's too dangerous for you to go."

Ming Xia was speechless. Even her A-Rank ability was now being considered too low-level; inflation was happening way too fast...

But it was true; even her older sister was no match for that girl.

Seeing that she had figured things out, Xiao Pei gave her a task. "Ming Xia, go back and look after those citizens. They need protection. Protecting them is the best assistance you can give us."

Ming Xia nodded solemnly.

Xiao Pei made the arrangements, smiled, and wanted to offer a few words of encouragement to this genius psychic, but then she caught a glimpse of someone flashing by beside her. A certain willful Healer, unable to wait for their dawdling, had left without a word. Xiao Pei's smile froze, she clicked her tongue, hurriedly ruffled Ming Xia's hair, and quickly followed.

... I couldn't keep up.

The legendary Healer had already astonished many with his speed, and after a period of absence, he has now evolved to another level.

Embarrassed, Xiao Pei stood on the street, her smile somewhat forced.

Depend on.

That was too early to say anything; her level is just as low!

Ye Jiang arrived in the suburbs in the blink of an eye, in a popular garden. The garden owner was away today and the garden was closed. The girl walked in the garden, holding a bouquet of flowers in one hand and gently brushing the blooming purple wildflowers beside her with the other.

A flower caught the girl's hem, and she stopped, bent down, and carefully untied it.

Ye Jiang stood less than five meters behind her, watching her. She was there to clear out the unruly audience, but she didn't act immediately.

The girl spotted her, turned around, and flashed a bright smile.

"We meet again, sister." The girl looked at Ye Jiang's face. "I thought it the first time we met, sister, you're so beautiful, more beautiful than all the flowers in the garden."

Because of a fleeting glimpse of her in the crowd, she made a special trip over to offer her flowers.

Unfortunately, I was rejected.

The girl looked down at her arms, where a sprig of violet was mixed in.

The girl looked down for a moment, then looked up with a bright smile, "Are you here to admire the flowers too, sister?"

She looked around. "The flowers here are beautiful, but there's a place called Huanxia City, also known as the City of Flowers. Flowers bloom all year round there, like a rosy cloud. You can eat the most delicious flower cakes and enjoy the most beautiful scenery there. If you like it, you must go, sister..."

"Why make such a fuss?" Ye Jiang asked, her voice flat and indifferent, showing no interest in that so-called City of Flowers.

She wasn't an unreasonable monster; she was willing to give the other person a chance to explain.

The girl blinked, stared at Ye Jiang for two seconds, and then let out a silvery laugh.

"So, you didn't come here to admire the flowers, sister."

Her eyes crinkled with laughter, "Sister's here to kill~ me~"

She wasn't angry; instead, she smiled warmly and said, "But it seems my sister cares more about the sensation I caused than about human lives. She's really a special sister..."

The girl's words were cut short as she was being choked. Ye Jiang lunged forward, one hand gripping her throat.

"Get to the point." Ye Jiang's patience was wearing thin; how could one person ramble on like that?

She loosened her grip slightly to let the other person speak.

The girl tilted her head back slightly, exposing her neck as if offering it as a sacrifice, and did not struggle. She opened her mouth—

"My sister is even more beautiful up close."

Ye Jiang: "..."

That's just empty talk.

She stared at the girl expressionlessly, lost in thought, "Up close, you look rather worn out."

If the girl were a flower, she would now be in the withering stage after blooming, which surprised Ye Jiang a little.

Hearing the comment about her misfortune, the girl raised the corners of her mouth. "Sister, you have a really sharp tongue."

As she finished speaking, the petals of the bouquet in her hand fell one by one, fluttering into the air, their vibrant colors fading and turning black, sharp as arrows, all aimed at Ye Jiang.

"But this is the biggest misunderstanding my sister has ever made about me!" the girl said, her neck slipping out of Ye Jiang's hand like mud. She instantly retreated several meters, and at the same time, whoosh—petals shot towards Ye Jiang!

Petals thorns, leaves

Jiang stood still, her eyes as black as ink.

This girl gave up the chance to explain herself.

Then--

Begin cleaning.

Chapter 160 Backer, you lazy bum! Backer, hurry up!

The girl looked at the human opposite her. Although the person standing there was clearly human, those eyes made her feel uneasy for a moment, and made her think of terrifying things.

An even louder noise arose, and the children woke up from their sleep.

"Dad? Mom? Where did you go? Waaah!"

Children ran through the city that had been emptied overnight, crying and calling for their parents.

The girl stood helplessly on the street. Dawn broke, but the darkness seemed to linger in her world, and her vision blurred.

A child ran past her, crying, and asked, "Sister, have you seen my mom and dad?"

The girl's face turned deathly pale. "W..."

She couldn't utter a single word, and the child ran away crying.

An elegant lady approached the young girl, looking content, yet speaking of her troubles, she said, "Child, are you feeling better? Don't you feel the city has become much more harmonious? The annoying dissenting voices and condescending gazes have all disappeared. No more, child. For your sake, I ate a lot of awful food, and I'm even a little indigestion."

"... food?"

The elegant lady smiled without saying a word, her bright red tongue licking the corner of her mouth.

The girl's pupils trembled, as if the creaking sound had started again.

It's so noisy.

It's so noisy.

"... For me?" Her lips trembled violently.

The lady smiled and looked at her, "Of course, it's for you."

The girl staggered backward.

No!!!]

The jet-black petals slicing through the air sharply flew toward their target in clusters, as if to shred or poison it.

However, just as they were about to touch their target, they suddenly changed direction, circled the target, and moved away collectively like swimming fish, finally stopping above the target, hovering without releasing their attack.

"Why are you standing there like that, sister? Are you scared out of your wits?" The girl stood in the flowerbed, hugging the bare flower branches, and sighed heavily, "Such a beautiful sister, I really can't bear to hurt her."

She explained why she changed her mind and recalled the flower petals.

Ye Jiang saw the poisoned petals hurtling towards her, but she didn't sense any danger from their sharpness, so she stood still. She was prepared to knock the petals down as soon as they flew towards her, but unexpectedly, the petals were taken away before they even got close.
