Chapter 1098: Chapter 945: The Mystery of the Jinx Star

Lu Xiang had learned some bad habits again.

Eh?

When Song Lan had this thought, he suddenly paused and started pondering a serious question—why was there an extra "again" in his sentence?

He then carefully recalled the behavior of Lu Xiang after he met her and was shocked to find that Lu Xiang had never had it easy. Ever since she read "A Love Tip Every Day," her mischievous ideas piled up one after another. It seemed no longer surprising that she might threaten him with the Secretary-General’s sudden death to ensure he would report to the Counter-Intelligence Department the next day.

He probably couldn’t escape this trip to prison.

"Aren’t you afraid that my presence would provoke a riot in the prison?"

Still unwilling to give up, Song Lan issued his ultimatum.

Lu Xiang always joked about his "Jinx Star nature." Probably no one understood the peculiarity of this trait better than Lu Xiang, who had achieved remarkable success in a recent experiment.

The task of escorting the remnants of high-level councilors went incredibly smoothly simply because he was diverted away from District 17.

The handover work between the "Emperor" and Yaku was completed exceptionally well. No unknown powerful adversary appeared in the middle of the transfer to walk off with prisoners, nor was there any poisoning in the high-level councilors’ nutritional injections to ensure that they were silenced before they could reveal any secrets to the United Government.

The entire operation was unexpectedly smooth for Lu Xiang. She hadn’t seen such a seamless escort operation by the United Government in a long time.

And everyone had made only one effort—keeping Song Lan away from District 17.

"Do you really not remember that place?"

Lu Xiang cast a peculiar look, "That’s the last place you’d need to worry about a riot happening."

Even if a man with a very black beard was plotting a jailbreak as Song Lan feared, they didn’t need to worry. When he attempted this plot, he would realize just how ridiculously mistaken he was.

"Should I remember that place?"

"I’m not sure, but I have made some progress in studying your Jinx Star nature."

Lu Xiang’s tone was not joking.

She had always been a person who revered science, and Song Lan’s Jinx Star nature clearly couldn’t just be described as "bad luck." It was as regular as a clock; when you thought a misfortune could happen, your premonition would definitely come true.

This was somewhat consistent with the traits of a Scavenger Bird.

"Can we stop discussing the Jinx Star nature?"

After his trip to District 4, Song Lan had grown a lot. Reality made him give up resisting and calmly accept this aggressive new trait.

"I’ve just recently figured it out; your Jinx Star nature might not originate from luck but rather from being cursed by ’fate.’"

Lu Xiang remembered reading an interesting interview in a Psychic publication when she was a student. The interviewee was an expert from a psychic research institute who explained the metaphysical issue of "luck."

People’s fortunes rise and fall, sometimes lucky and sometimes filled with misfortune.

And those who could keep their fortunes constantly lucky or unlucky could be classified into the category of supernatural phenomena. Taking Song Lan’s 100% unlucky nature as an example—according to the expert’s view—it was very likely the result of being influenced by some ability.

Reviewing the various opponents Dumb Bird had faced in the past, the person capable of inflicting this enduring curse on him was probably only from the war that erupted in the upper world.

This was also very consistent with the ability traits of "fate."

"When you follow fate, the whole world becomes your friend. Otherwise, you will make the whole world your enemy."

This was a widely circulated adage in the upper world. They always adhered to the first half of the adage, complying with the future foresighted by the prophecies. As for the latter, no one besides Song Lan had continuously antagonized "fate" because they would usually die in "accidental incidents" within less than a day of conceiving such a thought.

"This is the after-effect left on you. Once matters involve the future of this world, they will definitely develop in a bad direction."

After understanding the reasons, Lu Xiang felt much more at ease.

"So it is."

Song Lan also revealed an enlightened expression. "The real culprit is ’fate.’"

He decided to support Lu Xiang’s view, regardless of whether others found it scientifically strong enough.

After circling back to the topic, he believed there was a new development in the case of the Secretary-General’s death, "It seems I must retract my earlier words. The Secretary-General’s death likely was a murder deliberately disguised as death from overwork!"

A classic and familiar Bgm began to play.

Song Lan imagined he saw a figure, shrouded in black and unrecognizable, standing next to the corpse of the Secretary-General in a pool of blood, holding a weapon that the Counter-Intelligence Department had failed to find at the scene, revealing a sinister smile.

"This was indeed a murder case, and also, turn off the Bgm, it’s noisy!"

Lu Xiang frowned, casting a stern glance at Song Lan’s phone.

This Dumb Bird seemed to try to use the suspenseful Bgm to confuse the situation, aiming to make what was an undoubtedly clear case appear more perplexing.
