Chapter 401: Chapter 234 Tang Got Hooked (Two Chapters in One)

"Although Tang was reluctant to believe it, the current situation left him no choice but to do so."

"Because Jiang Shu knew too much."

"There were some things he had only thought about in his mind. How did Jiang Shu know about them?"

"Could this guy really have mastered the Mind Reading Technique?"

"Wait, the Mind Reading Technique..."

"At this moment, Tang’s heart calmed down; he felt he could grasp something."

"The secrets about Jiang Shu."

"In his mind, he replayed the scene that had occurred at the Dick estate that day."

"The sudden appearance of the Fiery Flame Demon, the sky-darkening fierce fire tide, and those snake-like creatures with the thunder."

"Originally, he had subconsciously thought that this was some special technological means, possibly originating from top Research Sequence experts like Liu Tingruo, but now, he began to recall the magic performance he had specifically watched to study Jiang Shu."

"Fiery Flame Demon, fire control techniques, snake-like creatures..."

"Magic: Flame Spirit."

"The rampant thunder wreaking havoc within the mansion."

"Magic: Thunder Son."

"The sudden appearance of enemies."

"Magic: Invisibility Technique."

"Mind reading and previously unseen Spirit Technique methods."

"Magic: Spirit Monster."

"And..."

"Paperman."

"He glanced at himself."

"Now, he was just such a paperman, a puppet utterly controlled by Jiang Shu."

"One by one, abilities beyond common understanding and scenes of magic slowly corresponded to each other, and the man clothed in a black suit and white shirt or black long coat on stage gradually overlapped with the man in front of him, the one with a gentle smile."

"And combining that with those online rumors..."

"Could Jiang Shu’s performances actually be inexplicable magic?"

"But why then, was his Mysterious Coefficient less than 1.0?"

"Had the Mysterious Coefficient been altered?"

"In previous confrontations, Tang had only thought within the worldview he had developed over his thirty-plus years, yet even so, he managed to anticipate Jiang Shu’s every move and quickly adapt to changes, maintaining the upper hand for a long time due to resources and black technology accrued over the years."

"But due to Jiang Shu’s extremely misleading Mysterious Coefficient, he had never considered the unscientific direction, and now his current disadvantageous situation might indeed be due to one-sided judgments."

"It seemed he had never really studied the secrets of Jiang Shu."

"However, could Jiang Shu have mastered something like the Resurrection Technique?"

"And it seemed even more powerful than the black technology he commanded, enabling him to carry his spiritual body in this fragile paperman for resurrection."

"He pondered on the special spiritual body knowledge system taught to him, despite searching through the entire related knowledge base, he was unable to find methods that could allow a spiritual body to revive in such a paperman, let alone enabling him to speak and move freely."

"Using this paperman, which has neither vocal organs nor mobility mechanisms!"

"It completely defied logic."

"If that’s the case..."

"Could Jiang Shu possibly resurrect Aishania?"

"Almost immediately, Tang thought of the woman who had only appeared in his dreams for over a decade, and suddenly, his emotions surged."

"He had not seen Aishania for far too long."

"After her death, just like the movies scripted by Jiang Shu described, he used a series of maneuvers to replace the legitimate heir of the Dick family, then took revenge on all the direct descendants of the Dick family."

"As the plane crashed into the farm, flames filling the sky, his heart should have been full of the pleasure of revenge, but it wasn’t, not at all."

"Only an inexplicable sadness."

"The rage toward this city also rose. Standing in the place of the Dick family heir, he stood higher and saw further, and thus he saw more corruption."

"This city had original sin."

"So, after a year’s preparation, he embarked on his police chief career."

"To rapidly enhance his professional capability, he acquired a large amount of police terminology through the black market, and carrying these top-notch terms, he successfully parachuted into the Fifth District police station, becoming an extraneous Police Chief responsible for the conundrum unresolved by the police station."

"It wasn’t that the police station trusted his ability, quite the contrary, it was because those police elites wanted him not to disturb the normal operations of the police station, and preferably, they hoped he would know his limits and step down."

"After all, the sole heir of a wealthy family and rooting out corruption surely had nothing to do with each other; this wasn’t like making movies."

"With Aishania as his inner driving force, Tang swiftly became the ace of the Fifth District police station in just a few years, even rising to become the ace of the entire Lonely City police system."

"But more often than not, deep inside, he still wished to return to his days as Hunter, if only he had chosen to spend Valentine’s Day with Aishania instead of letting her go out to sell flowers on that Valentine’s Day..."

"That would have been nice."

"Then later, by some serendipitous opportunity, he discovered the secrets of the spiritual bodies."

"It could be said, painstakingly studying these spiritual bodies was to revive Aishania, but just like those melodramatic TV dramas, by the time he finally mastered the Resurrection Secret Technique, it was already too late to revive her."

"After so many years, Aishania’s spiritual body might have already vanished, perhaps long ago, having consumed all the energy within and dissipated into the ether of Lonely City."

"But still..."
