Chapter 311: Chapter 278: The Disappearing Sister...

"But if we let them continue eating like this..."

Seeing the anxious look on Chief Li’s face, the middle-aged man next to him smiled calmly.

"Don’t panic, Chief. Jiang Xiao has explained that Bai Yi has a special physique and has overeaten grass somewhere. Indulging her a bit is no big deal."

Uh...

Old Li pondered.

He wasn’t worried about these two specters eating themselves to death.

He was worried that he wouldn’t have any food to eat this morning...

...

After all, in a society governed by law, one can’t just do whatever they want to people.

Jiang Xiao had merely given Old Sun a bit of a lesson, telling him to pay more attention in his next life.

The latter grinned, revealing two big gaps where his front teeth should be.

Good grief, he was lucky not to have had his kidneys punched out, and he couldn’t even complain.

Who told him to open his big mouth without thinking?

By the time Jiang Xiao returned to the canteen, the two little specters were already quite satisfied.

They were undoubtedly full a long time ago.

But being gluttonous, for specters, as long as they wish, they can keep eating indefinitely.

The only thing is not to force-feed themselves stuff like "Peanut Sundae" and "Pork Juice."

Even if their bodies were lacking protein and craving for the scent of meat,

After flaunting too much, even Xiao Baiyi got sick of it.

At that moment, she sprawled across the canteen table in all directions.

Her whole body reeked of pork and green onion.

Even so, she still occasionally grabbed a youtiao from the side to nibble on.

Her tiny face was full of immense satisfaction~

It wasn’t until she saw Jiang Xiao coming that Bai Yi flipped herself off the table.

Perhaps from eating too much, she staggered upon landing.

"Daddy!"

With an excited shout, she then bowed her head and charged at Jiang Xiao like a wild boar with a meat and onion chicken assault.

’Plop~’

Jiang Xiao caught the charging Bai Yi with one hand.

"Little Pink Hair, take her to get cleaned."

The smell of this creature was even worse than Mu Xitang at her worst.

It’s true she hadn’t gone hungry or cold.

But it was also true she hadn’t taken a bath...

Although Mu Xitang hadn’t either, the city she was in was covered in snow, so she didn’t smell bad.

And Little Pink was the first one Jiang Xiao pulled out, so she hadn’t gone long without a bath, and while dirty, she didn’t smell too bad.

This Xiao Baiyi, however, had truly been left by Jiang Xiao for too long and had gone sour...

Especially the mix of sour stench with pork bun and all sorts of messy smells.

It immediately took Jiang Xiao back to the memory of a stinky basket kicked in his face.

The two little ones went off to bathe.

Only then did Chief Li and Jiang Xiao sit down to eat, and they simultaneously chose to sit as far away from where Bai Yi had just been as possible.

"Jiang Xiao, about Yinghua Xiaoya..."

"You’re asking me? How should I know?"

The quest was completed, but the person was gone; Jiang Xiao wasn’t a worm in Xiaoya’s stomach.

Old Li chuckled coldly, "Heh, the announcement from Yinghua is right, but it’s also wrong; can you guess what the big problem is?

Jiang Xiao: o.O "Huh?"

Okay.

That wise look in his eyes...

Sigh, why am I still keeping secrets from him?

"Think about it, if Xiaoya is gone, she’s gone, right? As the chosen one for completing the game, she will be selected again next time; she can’t just hide away, can she?"

Jiang Xiao nodded, agreeing that indeed, there was no way to resist—it had nothing to do with strength; it seemed to be a kind of high-level "Rule."

"So, this Xiaoya is mostly likely left stuck inside the Kaidan world! Ah, poor little Yinghua!"

While saying the other person was pitiable, Jiang Xiao felt that Chief Li was actually quite pleased.

"Why tell me?"

"Oh, nothing. I just wanted to share this exhilarating—no, this absolutely tragic news."

Chief Li felt he was somewhat making a fool of himself, should never have struck up a conversation with this guy.

Although Jiang Xiao seemed indifferent, he couldn’t help but start making guesses internally.

Xiaoya stayed in the Kaidan world?

Why does this plot seem so familiar?

"Oh, so it turns out that the ending for Xiaoya’s sister Naiko was also to be left behind inside."

"But the two cases weren’t exactly the same."

"At the time, it was Naiko’s livestream that went black, and the last announcement was ’Challenge Failed,’ but Yinghua did not receive any punishment."

"Although Xiaoya also had a livestream blackout, the final announcement was ’Challenge Successful,’ and Yinghua was successfully bestowed with the Analog Horror blessing."

"Hmmm, these sisters are quite interesting."

"Jiang Xiao didn’t know the reason behind it."

"Hisss, if I were to enter Kaidan next time, and I asked Him about it, would He tell me the reason?"

"We’re not close, but after all, we’ve had a few chats, so I guess I can barely count Him as a friend, right?"

"By the way, there’s something else I’m not sure whether I should bring up or not..."

"After much hesitation, Old Li still spoke up."

"You’ve said that much already, so you obviously want to talk about it, so just say it," Jiang Xiao replied.

Old Li glanced at his old buddies around him, each of them making eye signals, indicating for him to tell Jiang Xiao the matter.

"Cough, it’s like this, regarding this Kaidan, we’ve had experts conduct a detailed analysis, about Xiaoqin... it seems there is a problem, I’m not sure if I should..."

"Can you, at your ripe old age, not dilly-dally and just get to the point?"

"Alright, I’ll be straightforward, it’s like this..."

The final outcome seemed like a happy ending for everyone, and even Jiang Xiao managed to obtain a strange weapon.

But there was a question that remained unsolved and was overlooked by everyone.

Who killed Ji Xiang?

There’s no need to say much about Xiaoya’s part; nobody knows whether Ji Xiang died in the end or not.

But the Ji Xiang in Jiang Xiao’s case had long been dead cold.

What could be confirmed was this:

Principal Niu Wuliang, Old Sun, the Principal’s wife, and the security guards could all be ruled out.

Because they died before Ji Xiang.

Then, those with alibis were:

Doctor Qin Shou and Yang Tao (Du Lala), because they were with Jiang Xiao all the time.

Those with a timing mismatch were:

Big Blue.

Though this guy didn’t have an alibi, anyone could tell from the nonsense he spoke when he killed Doctor Qin Shou that he really was brainless.

Therefore, having said that.

Only three people were left.

The couple Miao Hui and Zhang Buren, and the perennially good person Xiaoqin.

And it was over 95 percent certain that Miao Hui and Zhang Buren were not the killers of Ji Xiang.

This could be seen from Xiaoya’s storyline where Zhang Buren cheerfully turned on the light.

And people tend to speak kindly when they are about to die.

If Miao Hui and Zhang Buren were the killers of Ji Xiang, there was no need to hide it.

Thinking back more carefully.

Xiaoqin had said at the time she saw the light in Ji Xiang’s room was on the whole time, and then entered to find the body.

In that case...

It was easy to speculate that she had entered Ji Xiang’s room only after Doctor Qin Shou turned on the light and found Ji Xiang dead.

But, on the other hand.

Was it possible that she first killed Ji Xiang,

left the crime scene, then saw the light in Ji Xiang’s room turned on, and so returned to the scene of the crime?

To execute a deliberate countermeasure?

Because after she killed Ji Xiang, she did not turn on the light; now that the light was on, Xiaoqin would surely know someone had entered Ji Xiang’s ward for the second time.

By entering the scene for the second time, she could greatly clear her suspicion of the crime.

As for why the wounds on Ji Xiang’s body were identical to the wounds Zhang Buren inflicted in killing Niu Wuliang.

Heh, that too is easily explained.

Because they were actually "Ji Xiang" after all!

Looking back now, it seems everyone’s weapons were surgical knives; one surgical knife connected the entire game.

Everyone killed with a surgical knife, and since they were the same person.

It was normal for the method of murder to subconsciously be the same, wasn’t it?

Ah, this...

They are trying to mess with Jiang Xiao’s mind with the notion that everyone was a villain, right?

"No worries, I’m mentally prepared."

Our Jiang has long been past his green youth; what does this have to do with anything?

Who cares who is good or bad, as long as I can achieve my goal, that’s good enough~

After parting ways with Old Li, Jiang Xiao, who had been planning to take the two little ones out for clothes shopping, had to temporarily abandon this plan.

Because that voice came again.

"The Analog Horror game is about to descend, selecting the chosen ones."
