Chapter 21: Not going to sit still and wait for death

The policewoman obviously didn't believe it, but she couldn't really force Jiang Jiu to answer. After all, she was still a hero who bravely stood up for justice. The police car was unusually quiet all the way to the police station.

Jiang Jiu stared out the car window in a daze. Chi Li said that no one here could be trusted, not even him.

Try to survive.

But he didn't tell her how to get rid of this illusion.

"We're here, let's get off."

The policewoman looked at Jiang Jiu with a dazed expression, as if he was frightened, and her heart couldn't help but soften.

She couldn't help but think that Jiang Jiu's calmness just now was probably a stress reaction due to being scared. Now, after a while, she realized how terrible what had just happened was.

Jiang Jiu didn’t know that the policewoman had imagined a lot, she only knew that the policewoman seemed to treat her better.

"It's okay. We're just asking you a few questions. You're acting in self-defense, so we won't lock you up."

Hearing this, Jiang Jiu nodded obediently.

She didn't think the police would arrest her without any reason. If she didn't resist, she would also be one of the victims. Otherwise, if the murderer continued to wreak havoc, more people would die.

Just as the policewoman said, she was released after being asked a few simple questions.

But I can't leave the police station for the time being.

Jiang Jiu sat in the chair bored. If she could free up this time to investigate the illusion, she could find the key to breaking the deadlock sooner.

"Student Jiang Jiu killed the murderer. How can you keep him in the police station? That's too much."

Suddenly, a clear young voice came from outside, with a strong sense of dissatisfaction in the voice.

"Let her out quickly. It's almost night time. She'll be scared if she stays alone in the police station."

Jiang Jiu knew it was Long Xuan as soon as he heard it, but how did he find this place?

She turned her head and looked outside, only to see a tall and slender figure walking straight towards her.

The moment he opened the door and saw her, Long Xuan's eyes lit up instantly, inexplicably like a puppy seeing its owner.

"I'll take you away. It's too cold here."

After saying that, Long Xuan was about to take her hand and walk outside.

Jiang Jiu stood there without moving, his voice sounding somewhat helpless.

"I'm just cooperating with the investigation normally. I'm fine, don't worry."

Long Xuan frowned and turned around, his expression showing disapproval.

"But they can't just sleep here at night, right?"

Jiang Jiu looked down at his clothes. It was still a little scary to go out like this. He might scare innocent children.

Long Xuan noticed Jiang Jiu's gaze and immediately continued.

"I heard that you were taken away by the police covered in blood, so I drove and brought clothes to pick you up."

Jiang Jiu was stunned. She had only met Long Xuan twice in the illusion, so why was he so concerned about her?

"Thank you very much."

She nodded slightly, she was also uncomfortable staying here.

The young master of the Long family came to pick someone up, and no one dared to stop him. Jiang Jiu just swaggered out of the police station. Before leaving, the female police officer held her hand with a look of concern on her face.

"If you can't calm down, you can come to me and I can help you make an appointment with a psychologist."

Jiang Jiu nodded obediently.

Ignoring the strange looks from the other policemen, the interaction between the policewoman and Jiang Jiu was quite heartwarming.

After all, the other policemen had seen how calm Jiang Jiu was at the time, and only the female police officer spoke to Jiang Jiu after she got in the car.

...

After leaving the police station, Long Xuan drove Jiang Jiu all the way to a nearby five-star hotel. The hotel, which was owned by the Long family, booked a presidential suite without even having to say hello.

"You should have a good rest here today."

Long Xuan gave detailed instructions, going over every item he could think of. Jiang Jiu was surprised by his attentiveness.

"If you have a nightmare at night, you can come find me next door. I won't leave."

He continued.

"Why do you care so much about me?"

Jiang Jiu stared at Long Xuan with curiosity. If it was according to Chi Li, Long Xuan should want to kill her now. But why did he not seem to have any such thoughts at all, and he was so worried about her that he didn't dare to leave.

"...Because...because you helped me lead the way."

Long Xuan was stared at by Jiang Jiu's focused gaze, and his cheeks instantly turned red. He stammered and didn't sound very convincing.

"that's all?"

Jiang Jiu was surprised, after all, Long Xuan didn't know her now.

"Nothing...nothing."

Long Xuan became more and more shy, and turned around and prepared to leave.

Jiang Jiu looked at his back and couldn't help laughing. She didn't expect that Long Xuan was still so innocent. Even in the illusion, he looked like a young boy who had just fallen in love.

What she didn't see was that Long Xuan lowered his head with his cheeks red as blood, and silently made a mouth shape.

'It was probably love at first sight.'

Long Xuan wanted to say this, but he was afraid that Jiang Jiu would think he was taking advantage of her and scare her, so he didn't dare to say it. He could only turn his back and confess quietly.

After Long Xuan left, Jiang Jiu could finally have a good rest.

The bright moon hung high in the sky. Jiang Jiu opened the window and looked at the moon carefully.

If Chi Li hadn't reminded her, she probably wouldn't have noticed the strange details of daily life, such as the fact that every time she looked directly at the moon, she would become restless and feel depressed and suicidal.

I originally thought that people would become depressed on the Internet when facing the moon, but now it seems that is not the case.

"really...."

After staring at it for a while, Jiang Jiu felt an increasing urge to jump off the ten-story building, as if someone was whispering in her ear, "You'll be free of everything if you die," and "There's no point in living."

"It's so targeted, it really makes me want to die."

Jiang Jiu withdrew his gaze, but didn't see anything special. Except for the increasingly strong suicidal mood, there was nothing else.

If you think about it carefully, who has a grudge against her, it’s probably only that guy from the first generation.

"It's clearly been severely injured by its inner demon. How could it still have the strength to pull me into the illusion?"

Jiang Jiu stroked his chin and talked to himself.

"Or is it a last gasp, a final struggle?"

She continued.

After saying that, Jiang Jiu suddenly looked up at the sky, only to see that the moon in the sky seemed a little redder than before, just like when an ordinary person gets angry, the blood will gather in the head.

But it soon returned to normal, and the scene just now was just like an illusion of ginger wine.

"Oh, that's what I meant."

She was just testing it, but she didn't expect the first generation to be so impatient. It seemed that the inner demon had really beaten it badly, and it would be extremely angry just hearing about it.

But even if the culprit is confirmed, she is just a powerless female college student. How can she pull the moon from the sky and beat her to death?

Jiang Jiu would not sit still and wait for death. She could not tolerate three death threats a day and the male protagonists attacking her.
