Chapter 298: Chapter 265: Is There a Conspiracy Behind the Lies?

When Jiang Xiao encountered such a confident man holding a knife, for a moment, he seemed a bit unsure.

"Kid, we won’t kill you, just mind your own business!"

We?

Even Jiang Xiao, not the sharpest tool in the shed, picked up on that word.

"Oh? I didn’t see that coming, you guys are actually a gang?"

Knife man: ?

"Don’t give me that bullcrap! I’m warning you, stop your yapping, alright! Your knife isn’t sharp enough for me to bother fighting you! Just go, I’ll spare your life tonight!"

But Jiang Xiao didn’t engage him, instead, he just started asking questions on his own.

"How many people are in your group? Who do you want to kill? Why commit murder? How many people in your family, how much land do you have? Got any rice subsidies? Did you pay this year’s major illness fund and health insurance?"

Everyone: ???

Dude, is your brain alright?

Can’t you read the room at all?

"Pfft!"

The knife man plunged his blade deeper into Qin Shou’s neck, causing crimson blood to trickle down the blade.

The latter’s legs went weak from fear, and if it weren’t for the knife man holding him up, he probably would have knelt down already.

"Hehe, you dare mention health insurance to me? Damn it, it went from 10 to 380 bucks, I’m buying your grandma!"

Everyone: ...

Jiang Xiao asking those questions was already mind-blowing.

Didn’t expect this dude to actually start answering earnestly...

"Bro, save me..."

Qin Shou looked at Jiang Xiao with tears in his eyes.

"Nope."

Jiang Xiao’s response shattered his hopes. After a pause, Jiang Xiao suspiciously asked him,

"Why don’t you transform? Like you did just now in the headmaster’s office, turning all beefy?"

Qin Shou, full of sorrow, said, "Bro, it’s not like I can transform whenever I want, plus you beat me up so bad just now... I don’t have the strength..."

"Are you guys ignoring me?" the knife man tried to interrupt their conversation.

"So, you’re saying, once you’re beaten badly, you need a certain interval before you can transform again? Needs to cool down?" Jiang Xiao pressed on.

"Yeah, that state is really tiring and who in their right mind would want to look that freaky?" Qin Shou spoke more and more aggrievedly.

The knife man rubbed his weathered face, furiously saying, "Hey, can you two show some respect for a tough guy like me?"

His fuming look pulled Jiang Xiao’s attention back.

Jiang Xiao spread his hands indifferently, "Respect? Like I said, if you want to kill him, just do it. I’m not close to him."

Shit!

Jiang Xiao’s nonchalant attitude completely infuriated the middle-aged man with the knife.

He suddenly let go of Qin Shou and, with a howl, charged at Jiang Xiao.

Sigh~

Jiang Xiao honestly didn’t really care about Qin Shou’s life or death, but since the guy was charging at him.

He just had to...

Five minutes later...

The knife man knelt on the ground, hands held above his head.

(۶ꈨຶꎁꈨຶ)۶

"Bro, did I confess detailed enough? Umm, I just got a bit blindsided by stupidity, bro, I was just spouting nonsense without a clue..."

"You’re saying, in the end, it was actually your son who was behind this?"

"Yep! That little beast is sick in the head, just go and find him, he’s the mastermind, at most my wife and I are just accomplices!"

A couple?

Oh?

From what he’s saying, it sounds like there’s more than one accomplice?

But the way he lovingly referred to that [little beast] was quite something, huh.

...

Ji Xiang was doubting life again.

What the hell?

How can the same person’s memories retrieved by her be so different?

Last time when she accessed Ji Xiang’s memories, they were pretty ordinary.

Just a tragically orphaned, introverted little boy.

But this time was completely different.

It really involved [reincarnation]. Ji Xiang had reincarnated over fifty times according to the memories Ji Xiang accessed, and he indeed tried various methods to escape this cycle, but each attempt ended in failure.

This time, he planned to take a different approach.

That was to brutally kill everyone in the hospital!

To see if there would be a different outcome.

Hiss...

Why were the memories I saw twice different?

Is there something wrong with my abilities, or is it Ji Xiang’s brain?

No!

Xiaoya discovered a blind spot.

Old Master Sun!

In Ji Xiang’s memory, there was no recollection of why Old Master Sun committed suicide.

So the difference in the memories I accessed definitely wasn’t a problem with my own abilities, but with Ji Xiang’s brain.

This bastard most likely had some way to evade my mind-reading!

Or rather,

The memories I could see depended only on what the other person wanted me to see.

All Xiaoya could now say was...

I’ve been countered.

"Sister? What are you spacing out for, have you decided whether you want to collaborate with me?"

After much thought, Xiaoya still felt the collaboration was necessary; it wouldn’t hurt to listen to his plan first, and if it didn’t work out, she could always betray him.

Selling out teammates, Xiaoya had some experience with that.

"You said you wanted to kill everyone, to see if you could escape the fate of reincarnation, but have you considered what you’d do if killing everyone didn’t work?"

"Then I will choose to kill myself at the end."

Hehe~

Xiaoya inwardly sneered relentlessly.

I bet you’d try to kill me before you kill yourself, wouldn’t you?

After all, Ji Xiang was intent on "killing everyone," and Xiaoya wouldn’t put it past him to include her in that.

"Tell me, what’s your plan?"

"Take them down one by one! Starting with my parents, those two damned old fools... I know them quite well!"

Xiaoya fell silent, this bastard really was cruel enough, it seemed she still needed to be extra cautious.

"What do I need to do?"

"Hehehe, do I even need to say? Of course, use your strange ability to control them, leave the killing to me."

Damn!

This bastard really did know about her abilities!

Guessing it was one thing.

Having the person say it directly to your face was another; it implied Ji Xiang must have a way to counter Xiaoya, which is why he spoke so openly.

"Is that okay?"

"Sure!"

The first targets were Xiaoya’s parents.

"Hmm?"

Walking in front, Ji Xiang stopped.

"Something’s not quite right, my parents, those two old fools don’t seem to be in the ward, not good! Quick! Back to my room four, we wait for them to show up!"

"What do you mean?" Xiaoya hadn’t caught on yet.

"Hehe, those two old fools always sleep with the lights on because they have something to hide, but today their room is pitch dark. This could mean either they’ve been killed or they’ve gone out to kill others..."

"Hmph, anyway, don’t worry about it, let’s head back to room four and observe from there. If those two old fools come looking for me, you take control and I’ll finish them off!"

Alright, alright, alright...

Such filial piety, huh?

...

"You mean to say, everything is your son’s fault?"

Jiang Xiao looked suspiciously at the couple kneeling on the ground.

What is all this?

What kind of parents push their own son out like that?

"That’s right! He’s in room four, you can check if you don’t believe us!"

"Bro, trust me, trust me, it’s all that damn cursed child’s fault, he’s unprincipled and his brain is defective! We were just being used by him!"

Not only did Jiang Xiao not understand this scene of supposed parental affection,

Even the audience watching the livestream from an "omniscient point-of-view" were also confused.

What a mess, what on earth is all this?
