Chapter 1220: Chapter 61: Nan Xiao Nan Terrified
Why is Mammy Ren here?
Simply because she’s bored… of course, just kidding.
Early this morning, as she walked into the office, Mammy Ren, who was still bewildered by the unexpected promotion and salary raise that seemed to take her to the pinnacle of life, felt she needed to step outside and get some fresh air—to calm down a bit.
It’s definitely not about the thrill of sneaking off under the editor-in-chief’s nose with pride… It feels amazing!
Unexpectedly, she encountered the forensic doctor Xiao Nan at the crime scene. Usually, after recording, collecting evidence, and removing the body from such a murder scene, the police seldom return.
“What a coincidence, Doctor Nan!” Ren Ziling greeted warmly.
——Don’t come over!
Despite this, Xiao Nan nodded calmly—why is it that even after working hard for a transfer, she still can’t escape?
“Are you here to investigate as well?” Ren Ziling’s smile made her eyes curve like crescent moons, “Why not take me along, maybe I can help.”
Judging by her attitude, it seems like she intends to tag along…
Xiao Nan sighed inwardly. She really didn’t want too much contact with this woman, but if she refused, would it attract the attention of the world’s will?
She was very aware of the immense power behind such a Child of the World—their thoughts often unknowingly become reality, simply put, it’s a ‘heaven helps me too’ kind of strong luck.
Even if she refused now, under the irresistible force of the world’s will, she would probably end up entering the site alongside her…
Xiao Nan quickly calculated the gains and losses in her mind.
“As expected, it’s quite difficult…” Seeing Xiao Nan’s silent demeanor, Ren Ziling couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, it seemed her plan to muddle through was going to fall through… Probably after she left last time, Xiaobao had already exposed her identity?
“Alright then, you can follow me.”
Little did she know, Xiao Nan, who couldn’t distinguish the essential difference between Ren Ziling, blessed by the world’s will, and a true Child of the World, directly nodded in agreement.
Mammy Ren was momentarily stunned, then overjoyed, exclaiming, “Doctor Nan, I will definitely thank you properly! You’re much more reliable than Old Ma!”
…
Ah-choo——!
In City X, because of new information from Zhou Yusheng, Officer Ma, who was heading to a spot where black car drivers often linger, suddenly sneezed.
“Officer Ma, caught a cold?” Lin Feng asked casually.
Officer Ma rubbed his nose and said casually, “I don’t think so, just got a sudden chill… How much longer until we arrive?”
“About half an hour, if we can confirm Wang Liang really took the black car back, the case might become clearer.” Lin Feng said earnestly.
Officer Ma nodded. Suddenly, he thought finding people in his city, especially these gray-area black car drivers, might be easier with Ren Ziling’s help?
He decided to act on it immediately.
…
…
Xiao Nan had actually been to the crime scene before, but not on the day the body was discovered—she came to carefully extract evidence from the scene.
When the site is deemed no longer valuable, they usually won’t station anyone to guard it… As for the seal, it would likely be removed after the case is solved.
The two women, each with their own thoughts, quickly arrived at the living room of the murder scene.
Ren Ziling looked around with great interest, touching things—but her actions were actually very careful, she even brought a pair of plastic gloves.
Seeing Ren Ziling’s demeanor, Xiao Nan thought this woman certainly came prepared, this probably wasn’t her first time doing such things.
“No photos.”
Seeing Ren Ziling take out her phone, Xiao Nan instinctively said—of course, this wasn’t her own intention, but the instinct of that assimilated soul with temporary residency rights, the original Xiao Nan’s instinct.
“I know.” Mammy Ren smiled a bit awkwardly, “Just taking a call.”
Mammy Ren walked to the balcony to take the call.
The call was from Officer Ma—the reason Mammy Ren was awkwardly smiling, purely because she felt guilty, she hadn’t expected Officer Ma to call at this time… Could she have been found out?
“…Looking for someone?”
The result was a bit beyond Mammy Ren’s expectations. She paused for a moment, then quickly took out her notebook and started recording, “City X, November… hmm, got it, looking for black car drivers operating these past few days? No problem, wait for my news… the usual fee, fifteen hundred for the informant!”
After hanging up, Ren Ziling immediately started making another call, speaking quietly, deliberately lowering her voice, but with Xiao Nan’s ability, hearing it was no problem.
“…Hello, Mouse Qiang, I need you to find some people. Yeah… from last year, November… City X… fifteen hundred! Not enough, don’t want it? Fine, then I’ll find Snake Ming… I’ll transfer it to you later! I’m telling you, it’s for your wife’s milk powder, if you dare gamble it away, see if I don’t mess you up! Alright, waiting for your news…”
After finishing her calls and returning to the living room, Xiao Nan pretended not to know and was squatting on the other side of the freezer… Ren Ziling curiously walked over.
At this moment, Xiao Nan stood up, blocking one side of the freezer with her body.
In the blocked part, a dark red strange symbol suddenly lit up, but in an instant, it seemed to melt away, directly merging into the freezer.
“Doctor Nan, didn’t sleep well last night? Why does it seem like your face is a bit pale?” Ren Ziling blinked—just now when she saw her, her face looked quite good.
“It’s nothing, just a bit anemic.” Xiao Nan replied calmly—the original Xiao Nan indeed had slight anemia.
“Oh… here, have some of this!” Ren Ziling laughed and pulled out a can of M&M’s from her handbag.
Emmmmm…
… Xiao Nan suffered 10000 points of attack from M&M’s.
… Xiao Nan chose to resist, resistance value 0, resistance failed.
… Xiao Nan took 10000 points of true damage.
… Xiao Nan reluctantly reached out her hand.
… Xiao Nan swallowed the M&M’s, satisfaction +100%.
… Xiao Nan’s favorability toward Ren Ziling remains unchanged.
Round over.
“Thank you.” Xiao Nan glanced at the can of chocolate beans in Ren Ziling’s hand, planning she’d definitely stock up on some before going home.
Mammy Ren chuckled, “Actually, I’m not fond of these things, just sometimes during interviews, might run into kids, or people like you with slight anemia, to earn some goodwill.”
——Hmm… shouldn’t be expired, right? When was the last time… a few months ago?
Xiao Nan gave a wry smile, then suddenly froze inside—no good, almost fell into the Child of the World’s trap!
She knew too well, the strong luck of a Child of the World, that kind of effortlessly boosting the surrounding people’s favorability with divine assistance.
“I need to leave.” Xiao Nan suddenly said.
Ren Ziling looked around, thinking as suspected, not arriving at the time of the body’s discovery, there’s nothing to see… She was somewhat disappointed, but there was nothing she could do, so she nodded, “Are you heading back to the bureau? I can give you a ride, as I happen to be driving.”
“No need, I’m off today.” Xiao Nan rejected.
“On a day off you still come to work, huh?” Ren Ziling was stunned, “Doctor Nan, you really are a workaholic.”
——You should leave now!
Xiao Nan nodded calmly, then signaled Ren Ziling to leave—Mammy Ren had no choice but to say, “Are you sure you don’t need a ride? It’s raining now, and the road’s not easy to walk?”
Ha ha.
“No thank you.”
…
Downstairs, seeing Ren Ziling already heading towards the little red car, Xiao Nan subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
Under her umbrella, she glanced up at the location of the troubled rental room, thinking she’d come back tonight, that magic technique should almost take effect.
It was indeed due to her low power, if it was the pre-entry entity… even if it were just one-tenth of the entity’s power, it could have taken effect instantly, right?
Shaking her head, Xiao Nan was just about to leave—only this time, a food delivery bike zipped past at high speed, sending up dirty water from a puddle on the ground and splashing it all over her!
Suddenly, Xiao Nan was drenched like a drowned rat.
“Doctor Nan, I should drive you, right?” From afar, Ren Ziling in the small car lowered the window and called loudly.
Xiao Nan looked at her wet clothes and couldn’t help but sigh.
Hehe.
——As expected… Child of the World.
“Alright.”
Knowing she probably couldn’t escape, Xiao Nan could only sigh helplessly and cautiously got into Ren Ziling’s car.
…
…
“…Come up to my place for a cup of hot tea.” Xiao Nan sighed again.
If possible, she would rather say goodbye to this woman at the doorstep—but there are too many things to consider.
As a Child of the World, she possesses strong luck, even to some extent affecting the luck of those around her, which is intangible and elusive.
Over the years, Xiao Nan had witnessed too many people who got unlucky because they failed to leave a good impression on a Child of the World—even though this so-called good impression could be deemed as mysticism… But mysticism is something one should never gamble with.
In Xiao Nan’s previous world, there was an evil wizard, who, due to the Child of the World’s dislike, met with an accident during sorcery cultivation. A dignified Nine-Star Great Sorcerer perished due to the Child of the World’s remark, ‘Evil deeds will eventually be punished.’ despite having thousands of times the proficiency in spell casting.
Although, at this moment, she could head straight upstairs and ignore Ren Ziling, the worst she’d get are comments like ‘rude,’ ‘ungrateful,’ or ‘doesn’t know how to be a proper person,’ which are not big deals, but whether in the future she would face unfortunate events due to such minor remarks, Xiao Nan was indeed uncertain.
“Ah, how could I impose!” Ren Ziling blinked her eyes, “Wouldn’t it be bad if I bothered your family!”
Then why do you seem eager and ready…
Hehe.
“It’s fine, I live alone.” Xiao Nan smiled—since they had more interaction now, she aimed not to leave a bad impression before she got transferred and left.
…
…
“The target has returned.”
In another unit of the apartment building next to the apartment building, a foreign youth in his thirties, wearing a black jacket and monitoring with a telescope, was holding a satellite phone, seemingly communicating with someone.
“You’ve disappointed me, how is she still alive… This time, make sure you don’t miss.”
“I know… But a stranger is at her place.”
“Could this stranger know something?”
“Unclear, we didn’t have data on this stranger before…”
“To be safe, deal with this strange woman too… The organization does not allow any leaks!”
“Understood.”
The foreign youth nodded, and after putting away the phone, he began to open the suitcase beside him—taking out the contents, he began assembling, revealing a sniper rifle!
He set it up at the window.
…
“Wow, you really live alone.”
Ren Ziling surveyed Xiao Nan’s apartment, finding the one-bedroom, one-living-room, one-bathroom layout perfect for a single… single person.
She sat down casually, her beautiful eyes twinkling, “When I was in college, I thought about living in an apartment like this once I graduated and started working.”
“Hehe… And now?” Xiao Nan stood at the gas stove boiling water and casually asked.
“Now, I live with my son.” Mammy Ren looked over, “Aren’t you going to change your clothes first? Be careful not to catch a cold!”
“Right away.” Xiao Nan smiled slightly… Maintain composure, maintain composure.
But… living with her son? In her heart, Xiao Nan found it strange; judging by Ren Ziling’s appearance, she seemingly hadn’t given birth, right?
Although slightly confused, following the principle of minimal contact, Xiao Nan didn’t intend to ask further. After turning down the fire on the gas stove, she went straight into the room.
“Why are the curtains so tightly closed…”
And they’re black curtains, making it feel a bit oppressive…
Ren Ziling simply opened the patio doors, breathing in the outside air, and looked out from the apartment building… At this moment, Mouse Qiang called, saying they had found the person.
“So fast?”
“Hehe, recently partnered with some friends, doing some private passenger business. Most of the staking points are black car drivers, and generally, certain people always drive certain places, so it’s easy to find.”
“I’m thinking about reducing the commission…”
“No, please, my home dragon of decaying bones is still waiting for milk powder!”
“Forget it, be careful doing private passenger work. Although it’s never good, it’s better than hanging out in a mahjong hall every day and occasionally stealing manhole covers and electric wires… Be careful, if something happens I won’t save you!”
“Understood, I’ll send you the phone number and name.”
After Receiving the information, Ren Ziling immediately sent it to Officer Ma far away in City X, not forgetting to remind about the informant’s fee.
Ren Ziling started glancing again at this apartment, which was once her dream home, but then a photo on the bookshelf next to the workstation caught her attention.
Just then, Xiao Nan, who had just changed her clothes, walked out, only to see Ren Ziling staring intensely at a photo frame, instantly having a bad feeling.
“Wow, you know Old Qin!” Ren Ziling smiled as she looked at Xiao Nan.
Xiao Nan nodded… Had this woman really interacted with everyone in the police department?
“I’m basically his junior.” Xiao Nan said slowly—as Chief Qin’s junior, it’s actually one of Xiao Nan’s identities.
However, in reality, she was an illegal immigrant. When blending with Xiao Nan, she lost many memories of the original Xiao Nan, retaining only bits of her past but none of Xiao Nan’s expertise was lost.
She couldn’t help but recall the moment she chose Xiao Nan… Back then, this woman had just been in a car accident, in a dying state, which made fusion very smooth. The other consciousnesses trapped in this sub-world were likely in similar conditions.
While Xiao Nan was lost in thought, Ren Ziling continued examining the photo.
In the photo, besides Xiao Nan and Chief Qin, there were several others dressed in white robes.
Among them, two were white, one black, and one of the white ones was an old man… It seemed to be taken in a research institution’s lounge, with a grey building faintly visible in the background.
“I think I’ve seen this old man somewhere before…” Ren Ziling subconsciously frowned.
Xiao Nan suddenly had an urge to drive Ren Ziling away—this was not her intention, it originated from… the real Xiao Nan!
Yet at that very moment, a strong sense of crisis surged in, and Xiao Nan exclaimed, “Watch out!”
Ren Ziling was startled, her hand slipped, and the frame fell to the ground.
It all happened briefly, at the moment the frame fell, a high-speed bullet flew in at the same time from a nearby apartment building!
Boom—!!
…
The frame hit the ground, and the glass surface shattered instantly. Ren Ziling was momentarily stunned, then quickly squatted down, “Ah, sorry, I didn’t mean to…”
Seeing Ren Ziling hurriedly start picking up the glass shards, Xiao Nan’s eyes widened— because she clearly felt a momentary fluctuation of the world’s will, and a special barrier suddenly appeared and disappeared behind Ren Ziling…
It seemed that something had aimed to shoot at Ren Ziling and vanished the moment it penetrated this barrier… Xiao Nan thoughtfully looked at the direction from where the high-speed projectile emerged… But it was too far, and there were too many windows on the opposite side, some open, some closed, she couldn’t tell at once.
But seeing the oblivious Ren Ziling, Xiao Nan couldn’t help but find it bizarre.
How can this be so outrageous?
Even for being a Child of the World, and despite having such good fortune, this is too outrageous! Wasn’t the Child of the World supposed to experience numerous hardships to attain their place?
This is openly being protected, isn’t it!
…
Meanwhile.
In that mysterious apartment, the young man pressed against the window suddenly furrowed his brow…The bullet had clearly been fired but missed.
It couldn’t possibly miss!
But as he was puzzled, the space behind him suddenly distorted, and a bullet shot out, directly embedding itself in the back of his head!
He immediately collapsed to the ground.
