Chapter 476: Chapter 442 Pennywise [Illustrated Chapter, not for the faint-hearted or in the dark]
Given the uncertain nature of the unknown, Jiang Xiao did not take Sun Wei or Bai Yi with him.
"Relax, I’m going to see what’s going on; there shouldn’t be any big problems."
With that, Jiang Xiao entered the white space.
"Hey, what’s the situation here? This is targeted at me, right?"
Kaidan: [It’s not that I’m targeting you, someone paid a price for me to seek you out for assistance.]
Huh?
What does that mean?
Kaidan: [Someone offered me a large amount of blood food and deceitful devices and established a communication channel with me, asking me to get you to help them.]
The more Kaidan explained, the dizzier Jiang Xiao got.
What the heck?
After a detailed explanation, Jiang Xiao finally had a rough idea of what was going on.
Kaidan was supposed to be aloof and not involved in worldly affairs.
But nothing is absolute.
Some could attract her attention by offering a great deal of sacrifices she favored, thus making some transactions.
"Can I think of you as Wong Tai Sin then? Humans can ask for your assistance by making offerings?"
Kaidan: [?]
Kaidan: [Why don’t you compare me to The Bodhisattva Guanyin or something?]
"Because I feel like you’re kind of sassy, like a fox."
Kaidan: [?]
Saying this only made my head buzz.
"No, I mean, they ask you, and you send me to help. That doesn’t seem quite right, does it?"
Kaidan: [First of all, I am very fair and do not take action lightly. Secondly, they know this, so they specifically asked for you by name.]
Huh?
Asking for me by name means they know me, right?
Or is it someone familiar?
Jiang Xiao racked his brains but couldn’t guess who it might be.
"Could it be Xiao Hua from Sunset Village? Did some problem arise between her and Wang Dayong? That shouldn’t be, Brother Dayong is so timid. Or could it be Gangdan? Was he drained dry by the juicing lady? No, that’s not right either, where would Gangdan get anything to sacrifice? I guess his underwear might be worth some money..."
Kaidan: [Stop guessing, you definitely can’t guess. It’s Yang Tao, or rather, Du Lala.]
Oh!
It’s her!
Jiang Xiao remembered; Yang Tao was a materialistic woman who even provided him with deep massage services.
Of course, that was when she had lost her memory; in reality, she was an employee of the Weird Administration Bureau, Du Lala.
Deceitful Device Soul Separation was willingly given to him by her, and with it, he was able to save Bai Yi.
All in all, they had some connection, but not much.
"Right, that makes sense. Only an official force like them could afford to make big sacrifices to Kaidan..."
Wait a minute!
Jiang Xiao didn’t know if there were any experts in the Weird Administration Bureau.
But they definitely had a lot of deceitful devices, and they surely knew how to use quite a few of them.
Like the Deceitful Device Soul Separation he had seen.
It could forcefully enter a person’s dreamscape and eliminate superfluous personalities.
If brought to Blue Star, it would be a potent cure for schizophrenia!
Now, what kind of problem had they encountered that they couldn’t solve and needed to ask for his help?
Before Jiang Xiao had a chance to ask, a dizzying sensation hit him, and he found himself in the Kaidan world.
Kaidan: [This Kaidan is not one I’ve arranged for you, so you can negotiate the target and the reward with them. As for the rest of the Chosen Ones on your Blue Star, aren’t you guys about to celebrate the Spring Festival? Let them take a break.]
Jiang Xiao: I just @#-￥&!
You shouldn’t have said that last part, are you trying to mess with my head?
But then again, negotiating the reward with the Weird Administration Bureau doesn’t sound too bad.
Since they can afford to make big sacrifices to Kaidan, it means they must have a good number of deceitful devices.
When the time comes, I could casually ask for a couple to swap out Shi Shi and get a few handy ones for my own protection, wouldn’t that be nice?
...
He opened his eyes.
He realized his landing spot was an unremarkable foothill.
Yet, seemingly seamless rocks suddenly cracked open, revealing a passage wide enough for a large SUV to drive through.
A visibly bitter Yang Tao—or rather, Du Lala—appeared to have been waiting there for a while.
"Jiang Xiao, this time I’m truly bothering you, please come in."
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. There was nothing to fear; Jiang Xiao stepped into the pitch-black cave.
"Stop there, Jiang Xiao, if you take another step, it’ll be the end of your life."
Hmm?
Not to continue forward?
’Click-click-click-click—’
A series of faint but rapid mechanical noises arose. On the right wall, a passage opened out of nowhere, leading downwards.
How cautious can one be?
Who would have expected a hole within a hole?
"Jiang Xiao, shall we?"
"What on earth have you brought me here to do?"
As he stepped into the underground elevator, Jiang Xiao couldn’t help but ask.
"This is the Weird Research Institute, one of the most mysterious and highest-security places in Four Seas State. The main reason we’ve called you here is to ask for your help with Project Number 77, ’Pannywise.’"
Du Lala didn’t specify what the task was. She felt somewhat sorry for Jiang Xiao, having summoned him out of the blue to help with her problems.
Jiang Xiao’s mood, however, was still quite cheerful.
Even though Du Lala hadn’t yet told him what the task was, he wasn’t in a hurry. Instead, he was grinning to himself.
The thought of soon being able to... ahem, do business with them made him quite happy.
But the Dragon Country live stream viewers were exploding with activity!
"Which ’Pannywise’?"
"Don’t tell me it’s the ’Pannywise’ I’m thinking of?"
"Holy shit! No way, the fictitious just became a reality?"
"Heh, if Yan Chixia can show up, having ’Pannywise’ doesn’t seem so strange, does it?"
In Dragon Country, some people recognized this name, but the majority of foreigners almost all knew it!
Unfortunately, as the person in question, Jiang Xiao didn’t recognize the name.
Right now, he was like a foreigner encountering Qingshui River, at a natural disadvantage when it came to information.
The elevator continued its descent for quite some time until Jiang Xiao felt they must have gone a kilometer underground before it stopped.
"This place..."
Exiting the elevator, Jiang Xiao’s eyes widened.
Contrary to his expectations of a secretive, dim, and damp bunker,
the area was bathed in bright white light, with both ceiling and floor made of a silver-white metallic material he didn’t recognize.
In the center of the hall, a floor-to-ceiling window brought in bright natural light, while also reflecting all manner of high-tech instruments and equipment through the glass.
Electronic circuits whizzed across the walls, and numerous displays showcased various numbers, charts, and curves. The whole room was filled with screens of all sizes and intricate control panels.
People in simple but futuristic silver garments walked back and forth, busily attending to their tasks.
The level of technology here was unquestionably light-years ahead of Blue Planet!
Just as Jiang Xiao was immersing himself in this breathtaking technological wonder, an untimely voice wormed into his head.
’What’s my daddy’s daddy called?’
’My daddy’s daddy is called grandpa~’
’What’s my daddy’s mommy called~’ freewebnσvel.cѳm
Finally, it floated leisurely over to the two of them.
"This is..."
"Oh." Du Lala’s expression turned cold and then flushed red: "This is the high-tech intelligent transit vehicle developed by our Weird Research Institute at Four Seas Base."
"Tell me the truth, sister."
"An adapted children’s rocking car..."
