The setting of the cartoonist's previous comic was a doomsday background with more prominent class contradictions. Although this comic "Law of Night Watch: Dark Place" borrowed part of the real background, it was artistically exaggerated on this basis, and the tone is darker.
Before the ghost stories came about, various public security incidents had already occurred.
During that period, the newspapers reported every day either about rich second-generations speeding and hitting people in the downtown area, or about vicious cases of indiscriminate armed attacks on people somewhere. The perpetrators were soon revealed to be the sons of chaebol families. Famous lawyers engaged in verbal battles in court, the victims' families signed letters of understanding, and the suspects made provocative mouth shapes to the camera with smug smiles.
Jiang Ji's original self was also a victim of this rich man's game.
The cover of the first chapter of the comic shows the protagonist, who has just joined the Investigation Bureau, standing on the top of the tallest tower in the city and looking down. On one side is the bustling night scene with bright lights and feasting, and on the other side is the slums plunged into darkness. The distinction is clear, and he is as small as a grain of sand.
The Investigation Bureau and the consortium are in subtle opposition, while the union plays both sides.
The consortium is not a single chaebol group, but refers to the upper class who monopolize most of the resources in society. Led by the largest domestic company, Yongsheng Pharmaceutical, when they unite, with the traces of foreign forces behind them, it will become very difficult.
The union, whose full name is the Union of Superpowers, has close ties with many non-governmental organizations and fishes in troubled waters between the government and the consortium.
Most of the psychics who have not joined the Investigation Bureau and are not employed by the chaebols are listed here in name only, to gain higher benefits for the lone wolf psychics, and to facilitate the exchange of intelligence, acceptance of bounties, and receipt of rewards.
If ordinary people want to make a name for themselves nowadays, they can only rely on these forces.
Jiang Ji quickly reviewed in his mind the part where Alexia Lee appeared in the original comic.
She made a grand appearance at a cruise party and was the only one who survived that strange rule story.
Those who died were all rich second-generations who lived a life of drunkenness and dreams, and their backgrounds were not clean.
That time, the protagonist group went to rescue, but Ying Huai was impeached by the consortium for dereliction of duty.
Many lurkers in the forum posted analysis posts, and they all concluded that Ying Huai did it on purpose. He saved Alexia at the last moment because she was the only one on the cruise ship who had not directly or indirectly caused the death of others, so she did not deserve such a crime.
Therefore, a small group of Ying Huai x Alexia CP fans gathered.
Alexia is a haughty and spoiled character in the original comics. Unlike Su Ling, who takes pleasure in bullying her original self, she sincerely feels that people from the lower classes do not deserve her attention. Her catchphrase is "Untouchable, do you know who I am?"
Such old-fashioned lines are fine in the second dimension, but when Jiang Ji really stood in front of this rich lady and acted with her, the only thing left in his mind was -
Would the upper class really raise such a young lady?
I always feel like there's something fishy going on behind Alexia's back...
Could it be that because they failed last time, the consortium released Alexia this time to obtain information?
It seems like she messed up a lot of things every time she dragged her feet...
No, I have to go back and check her water meter again. Check, check, check.
Jiang Ji was 100% wary of the cartoonist's outrageous actions.
The protagonists are stabbed by their own father on a daily basis, and she doesn't believe that there is no other purpose for letting this character appear early.
The system listened to Jiang Ji's thoughts and shook its head.
Oh, I got the business approval.
No wonder he got a score of [Suspicious 100] when taking the personality test. His host deserves every point.
The system is an auxiliary system and will not arbitrarily interfere with Jiang Ji's decision, but it will occasionally calculate the probability of events and put forward its own opinions.
[Host, the character introduction of Alexia Lee is a spoiled young lady. If she is really the bait released by the Eternal Life Pharmaceutical, then she is hiding too deeply... Is it possible that the cartoonist is just... because there are too many people who are obsessed with you and Ying Huai's cult couple recently...]
After all, it’s been a long time since cartoonists have liked to go against their readers.
"? Well said, don't say it again next time."
Jiang Jicai didn't believe it could be such a strange reason.
The consortium led by Yongsheng Pharmaceuticals has been tracking down clues about the "Prophet" and the Night Watch, but the progress has been rather slow.
Jiang Ji asked the system to increase the difficulty of the virtual space to 150%, and the pain value to 100%. The weirdness inside and the tracking ability of the enemy's superpowers were strengthened. Members would be caught if they were not careful during actual combat training, and they were killed hundreds of times for various reasons.
Now I have developed a good habit of cleaning up.
This time, Jiang Ji did not intend to reveal any of his cards in front of Alexia Li.
"What are you still standing there for?"
"Help me down quickly, you untouchable with no manners at all!"
After Alexia finished speaking, she raised her delicate hands and chin, waiting for them to support her, as if it was natural.
Jiang Ji glanced at her, then walked away from her with the magic mirror.
The psychedelic carnival in the next room was almost over. The battle was fierce, and only the Paper Matchmaker's body was still intact.
The paper matchmaker was the most powerful in the paper-making team. All the paper figures that approached her were torn into pieces by her.
The paper matchmaker is not in a good condition now. She is weird and greedy by nature. She eats the most tributes and suffers the most from the hallucinations.
She fell on all fours, twisted her posture and made strange noises.
His body had been torn to pieces, his cheekbones were sunken, and his lower body was gone. He could only crawl in the dark on the ground.
Jiang Ji weighed the strength of both sides and saw an opportunity that he could take advantage of, so he took his scepter and went over to hit them a few more times. He also scooped a bucket of water from the water tank to wet and soften the paper scraps, so that even if these paper figures could be restored, they would be too soft and rotten to stand up, leaving no future troubles.
"?"
Seeing Jiang Ji ignoring her, Lu Yi also walked aside to look for clues. Alexia's beautiful eyes gradually widened, and she exclaimed in an exaggerated tone: "You ignored me? Do you know who I am?"
Jiang Ji had just come back from finishing off a kill, and without even looking at her, he reminded her in a normal tone, "Alexia, if you like staying in a sedan that has carried countless dead bodies, then go ahead."
Upon hearing this, Alexia turned pale with fear.
She came out of the bridal sedan with a pale face and accidentally stepped on the hem of her wedding dress. She stumbled and said, "Ah!"
