Chapter 52
Taiyang Town Middle School fell into an eerie silence.
Inside the stadium, the screen was still broadcasting the live scenes of the game, but everyone's eyes were strangely dull and unable to focus. They stood still, still maintaining their previous movements, but it was as if their brains had stopped functioning, and the movements on their hands were just a matter of inertia.
On the playground, the refugees who were attracted by the sounds of fighting in the health room still looked towards the teaching building, but their eyes were wandering, as if they didn't know why they were looking there.
In the health room, the three teachers still had their hands hung up, their eyes closed, and they had lost the ability to think and move, just like robots with the power turned off.
The man humming the strange ballad leisurely walked around Xisen and into the health room. His fingers moved in the air a few times as if playing the piano, and Jin Hui's body rolled twice - just enough to open up a path for him, and then he naturally found a place for himself to sit down.
If it weren't for the fact that he could still move and think, Ango would even think that time had stopped.
This is definitely a strong man, a strong man whose strength is far superior to Xisen - this was Ango's first thought.
However, she found that apart from glancing at the visitor, Xi Sen did not have any special reaction.
"Wouldn't you like to introduce yourself?" Ango managed to calm himself down and turned to Xisen.
Obviously, Xisen knew him, and was probably very familiar with him.
Xi Sen shrugged: "Jiang Mianyan, the current captain of MAA."
Ango looked at Jiang Mianyan. This man looked very young and handsome, and he gave off a casual and uninhibited feeling. However, his strength was unfathomable... To be able to achieve this level, he probably already had S-level ability. It was just unknown what this person's purpose was in coming to Sun Town.
"Hello, Sangria." Jiang Mianyan nodded to Ango, "I believe you have already heard from Xi Sen that we are very interested in you."
Ango was a little nervous, but still nodded to him and said, "Hello."
"Have you found the thing?" Xi Sen started another topic.
A necklace hung from Jiang Mianyan's palm, with a silver-glowing ring hanging on a black rope. This thing looked very familiar to Ango - she recognized it at a glance. It was a real secret ring, not a replica made in a simulation competition.
"I found it a long time ago." Jiang Mianyan said with a smile, "If Jiang Can hadn't asked me to stay here and observe for a few more days, I wouldn't have encountered this wonderful drama. Look at you, you lose things and cause trouble. You're already so old, and you still need me to clean up your mess."
Jiang Mianyan's words were quite blunt. Xi Sen's face flushed slightly, and he argued, "Don't you see how much has happened recently?"
This was the first time Ango saw Xisen show this expression. To be precise, it was the first time he saw Xisen show this expression in recent years. How could the mysterious and powerful Mr. Shadow be treated as a child?
For a moment, she felt somewhat amused and even briefly forgot her own situation.
The secret ring was stolen by Xisen. Ango has always known this because Xisen had admitted before that he used certain items that could amplify abilities but affect the mind to lure Dana and Hu Gang, but she never knew that such items were lost from Xisen again?
She looked at Xi Sen with confusion in her eyes.
Xi Sen cleared his throat and explained, "I put this thing on Hu Gang, but after he was defeated, it disappeared. By the way, where did you find it?"
Jiang Mianyan pointed to his back with his thumb: "The pond behind."
Ango suddenly thought that when they lured Hu Gang into the pond, they defeated him with the Soul Hunting Bullets with lightning effects, so it was very reasonable for the things on his body to fall into the pond.
"Okay." Xi Sen massaged his temples.
"I have taken care of the matter for you. What are you going to do in the current situation?" Jiang Mianyan asked. He suddenly raised his eyes scrutinizingly and looked at the two people in front of him. A sense of severe oppression came over him.
At that moment, Ango thought the other party was about to scold him.
Xi Sen spread his hands in a somewhat rogue manner: "Now that you're here, what can I possibly plan? I'll leave it to you."
…
Ango's eyes widened instantly and he looked at Xisen in disbelief. The meaning was self-evident - are you so shameless?
Jiang Mianyan acted as if he was used to it, and asked An Ge, "If I help you solve this problem, can I get extra points for MAA?"
Ango was surprised by his unexpected honesty, but his words did improve her impression of him. She replied readily, "Of course."
Now Xisen's expression was a little distorted.
Jiang Mianyan's eyes were full of pride: "Looks like I have to take action again."
Xi Sen was obviously holding back his anger: "You are awesome, you are the best."
"But what are you going to do?" Out of courtesy for their first meeting and out of respect for the strong, Ango's tone was full of respect.
"Well, let me take a look. This person on the ground is really miserable."
Jiang Mianyan flicked his slender fingers in the air a few times, and Jin Hui's remaining body was pulled by invisible silk threads and began to gather together.
Jiang Mianyan was like a dedicated craftsman, using his delicate hands to mend the mutilated human body. After a short while, the silk threads restored his body to its original state, so perfect that it seemed as if it had never been separated.
"He's so cruel, isn't he?" Jiang Mianyan winked at An Ge. "This method is really scary."
...Actually, you're pretty scary. Ango held back the words, offering a polite smile.
"Okay, next is to direct a big drama." Jiang Mianyan pondered for a moment, then he waved his right hand, and the golden light flew out of the window in the direction of his fingertips and fell into the pond.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Mianyan threw the secret ring in again and returned it to its original place.
In this way, a fake death scene was created. Others would only think that Jin Hui fell into the pond, and then was tempted by the secret ring and dug his own grave.
"The Secret Ring is a powerful magical weapon. It can amplify the abilities of extraordinary people, and it can also confuse people's minds." Jiang Mianyan said.
"Our script is that under its temptation, Jin Hui dives into the pond, but because of his weak mind, he drowns in it... The scene has been prepared, and the next step is these people." Jiang Mianyan narrowed his eyes and looked at the three people hanging at the door.
It only took twenty minutes from the time Jiang Mianyan appeared to the time the matter was perfectly resolved.
The window was patched, and the spectators on the playground thought they had only heard the sound of someone falling into the water. The people in the gymnasium didn't know what had happened and continued to do their usual things. Principal Meng and the other two arrived at the pond, saw Jin Hui sinking, and fought to save him...
Scene after scene of the grand drama composed by Jiang Mianyan is performed.
Obviously, Jiang Mianyan's ability is related to the manipulation of consciousness and memory.
This kind of control over a group of people can only be accomplished by someone with S-level abilities.
If Ango hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have found it hard to believe that there was such an extraordinary ability and such absolute strength in the world.
As expected, in front of a truly strong person, all problems are not problems.
This kind of power makes Ango yearn for it.
At the same time, Ango and Xi Sen suddenly thought of something - in the eyes of Qin Ye and Lingling, Ango should be an ordinary person without extraordinary abilities, but as time went by, Ango's abilities could no longer be hidden. It happened that the parties involved in the incident were all present, so Jiang Mianyan might as well help deal with it.
As a result, the memories of the two security agents were also modified - they only remembered that Ango was a person with extraordinary abilities from the city of Passarine. Since there was nothing unusual in his identity information, they quickly released Ango.
"Can I ask you a question? If you are willing to answer this question..." Ango hesitated.
"My ability? Puppetry." Jiang Mianyan displayed it generously. He even stretched out his five fingers and fiddled with the invisible silk threads in the air. "Control behavior, control language, control the mind."
Ango was amazed.
"Now you owe me a big favor." Jiang Mianyan turned to Xi Sen again, "This is a big trouble, right?"
Although he was reluctant, Xi Sen had to admit: "I am really lucky to have you this time, thank you."
Not only did it solve the crisis of his identity being exposed, it also resolved the...
"Don't thank me yet." Jiang Mianyan suddenly raised his hand, signaling Xi Sen not to be anxious. Suddenly he seemed to have realized something and walked behind the screen in two steps.
"And Qiu Yuan!" An Ge blurted out.
Sure enough, Qiu Yuan, who had fainted before, was still sitting on the ground, but her eyes were open, as if she was eavesdropping on the conversation of the three people outside.
During the entire process, their attention was focused on the area outside the health room, and they actually forgot about Qiu Yuan.
"It's not a big deal." Jiang Mianyan didn't care at all. He raised his hand and was about to get rid of the only fish that had escaped the net...
Qiu Yuan hurriedly said, "Don't be impatient! I still have something to say..."
Jiang Mianyan looked at the two people behind him, and Xi Sen looked at Ango.
Although Ango was confused, he said, "What?"
Qiu Yuan swallowed nervously and stammered, "I, I, I... I don't want my memory to be modified!"
"That's it?" Jiang Mianyan gently pressed his hand against her forehead. "It's okay. You won't think so in the next second."
"Our family is actually very interested in Sangria's research... and the cooperation with MAA!" Qiu Yuan said quickly.
These words made Jiang Mianyan stop.
Although Qiu Yuan did not fully understand what had just happened, she had heard from Jin Hui that Ango was actually Sangria, and the man in front of her with S-level strength was obviously an important figure in MAA. As the eldest lady who had a relatively good understanding of the family business, Qiu Yuan keenly realized that this was a huge opportunity.
This opportunity is not easy to grasp, but she still wants to give it a try.
"Do you know MAA?" Jiang Mianyan asked.
MAA was not actually famous, and even Ango had rarely heard of it before, but the little girl knew that she was either talking nonsense or doing something similar to them.
"I learned it from my father," Qiu Yuan explained quickly. "Our company and the Interheard Group have always been competitors, so we've thoroughly investigated their affairs and learned about MAA. You have a grudge against the Interheard Group and have been trying to bring them down for years."
Despite this, they had not investigated that MAA actually had such a powerful person, nor did they know that Sangria had a close relationship with MAA, so they underestimated them.
"Oh? You guys are?"
"We are Fanyue Group."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xi Sen's expression changed slightly, but the other two people's attention was focused on Qiu Yuan and they did not notice his change.
Qiu Yuan noticed Xi Sen's change and continued, "Some of you must have heard about it, right? The 'shadow' of Interheard and the hatred between us."
