Chapter Eighteen: False Peace

In the rest private room in the bath center, Jiang Xiao held his head in his hands and lay on the sofa bed, beside him was his new cell phone.

This is the third day after he has seen Zheyu.

However, Jiang Xiao waited for Zhe Yu's phone call for three days, but still didn't call him.

During these three days, Jiang Xiao did not leave the bath center, regardless of food and accommodation. The waiter or manager felt it was strange to disturb him, and he also sent him money to him.

In addition to waiting for Zhe Yu's call, Jiang Xiao also used these three days to constantly figure out what kind of uses Zi Yan's cells could play in him.

Usually, when Jiang Xiao is not controlled, those purple smoke cells do not gather together, but are scattered in Jiang Xiao’s body, including the gaps in the muscles, and even in the blood vessels. However, once Jiang Xiao actively gives orders with his consciousness, he will quickly gather in the position where Jiang Xiao’s mind is concentrated.

Therefore, even if there is such a ball of purple smoke on the body, Jiang Xiao will not have one hand, one foot, or even a tumor on the body. His appearance has not changed in any way compared to before.

What Jiang Xiao has now determined is the small cell left by Zi Yan. Although he is not sure why, he can act completely according to his will. Whether it is changing various forms in his hands, or exposing them to evolve into various creatures.

However, the only thing that the cell can evolve is the creature that exists in this world and that Jiang Xiao fully understands.

In other words, Jiang Xiao can control the cell left by Zi Yan and evolve into a group of ants, a group of poisonous bees, or a pigeon, or a rabbit, but he cannot turn them into dragons or griffins that do not exist in nature.

At the same time, due to size, the mass of cells cannot evolve into a larger species, even if it is reduced in proportion - such as a bear the size of a rabbit.

Therefore, under such restrictions, the role that the ball of cells can play is still very limited compared to what Zi Yan can do. Although there may be a special place to use it in certain specific situations.

However, there is one thing that makes Jiang Xiao care very much.

The cells... seemed to be slowly growing.

Although the proliferation rate is very slow, so slow that it cannot be noticed by the naked eye, Jiang Xiao can sense its growth in his mind.

However, Jiang Xiao's own body seemed to have not been affected at all. It seemed that those cells were not "parasitic" or "occupied", but were just "symbiotic" with him in harmony.

Since there was no obstacle, Jiang Xiao let it go, and kept trying to hone his familiarity with cell changes, try to evolve more and more creatures, and make assessments one by one, what role those creatures can play in themselves, whether in battle or in all aspects of daily life.

A kitten jumped up from the ground quickly, landed high on Jiang Xiao's chest, tilted his head and rubbed against Jiang Xiao's chest, and "Mimi" intimately called twice. At the same time, the phone ringtone that Jiang Xiao had been waiting for for a long time finally rang.

Jiang Xiao answered the phone and it turned out that came from the other end was Zhu Yu's voice: "Hello, Jiang Xiao."

"Is it solved?"

"Solved. Dark Flame is dead."

Hearing Zhe Yu's answer, Jiang Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief and gently reached out to the furry body of the kitten lying on his chest: "So, can I return to my original life?"

"That's right." Zhe Yu said: "I have confirmed that An Yanyan has no other accomplices. No one will disturb your life in the future."

"Very good." Jiang Xiao smiled and said to the other end of the phone: "Thank you, Zhe Yu."

"There is no need to thank me." Zhe Yu also smiled faintly: "I did these things not for you. Such a thing happened within the college. Even if it was not for you, as an inspector, I must solve it."

"No matter what, the final result is that you helped me." Jiang Xiao smiled and said, "If you have the chance to meet again in the future, I will thank you in person. But I just hope... don't have such a chance again."

"I understand." Zhe Yu's voice was faint: "Many awakened people have the same idea as you, they just want to live their own lives, and they are unwilling to have relationships with other awakened people, especially our college. Especially... you have been involved in things within our college, and I can understand that you have such an idea. I also hope that in the future, you will not be disturbed again."

"That's great." Jiang Xiao hung up the phone, let out a long sigh, and showed a satisfied smile.

Then, the kitten that he had been gently slapped, tilting his head and rubbing his palm, then screamed softly, and his whole body began to slowly dissolve into Jiang Xiao's palm, and soon disappeared invisible.

"Finally... can go home..."

...

Zhe Yu put down the phone in his hand and looked out the window of his office. This was Yuling University. He and Jiang Xiao first met the top floor of the building. Looking down from the window, he could clearly see the sun shining on the green court.

But unlike the brilliant sunshine outside, there is always an indelible haze in his heart.

Because of the night after the execution of An Yan, he immediately sneaked into the computer room of the school and carefully searched on the No. 15 aircraft.

But no matter how Zhe Yu looked for, he searched through every drive letter and every folder in the computer, and could not find the information about the seed mentioned in Zi Yan's last words.

It is a text file that records text or a picture file of a map, no matter which one it is, since Zi Yan asked Jiang Xiao to convey this information, it should be easy to discover it without much effort.

If it weren't for the computer room of the middle school, it was a one-master and multiple slave structure. If the student's computer wanted to enter the system, he had to start the computer from the host, Zhe Yu could simply move the No. 15 machine back to his residence and search for it slowly. But in the end, he copied all the files in the hard drive of the computer and repeatedly checked it on his device, but still found nothing.

Why can't it be found?

Why can't you find it?

When meeting Jiang Xiao that day, Zhe Yu did not use his abilities, so he had no way to determine whether Jiang Xiao had told him the truth.

Because he dare not use ochre jade.

His rank is just a civilian, without the ability to do so, and in terms of strength or speed, he is not even as good as the awakened ones of the craftsman rank, and he is even less than a warrior. He can get the position of inspector in the academy, easily defeat the dark flame in the duel, and suppress other rebellions all rely on his talent.

But his talent, although his ability is extremely lethal, has great weaknesses. If he is not good, he will become a double-edged sword that will backfire himself. And the more he uses it, the easier it is to see the flaws.

On that day, he didn't understand Jiang Xiao's background, so he naturally did not dare to expand his own ability field - otherwise, no matter the final result, whether it was his own death or Jiang Xiao's death, it would be unacceptable consequences.

But now, everything seems to have entered a dilemma...

Zhu Yu stretched out his palm and pressed it on the glass window in front of him, silent in his heart.

Is it really that difficult to get that seed?

...

Jiang Xiao walked out of a mobile business hall and sighed.

Three days ago, after he took all the four bank cards on him, he smashed them into the trash can to avoid the next investigation. Now everything is calm, but it is a troublesome to re-issue.

In addition, there are also thrown away phone cards and mobile phones, which need to be reissued and rebuyed - in this society, changing mobile phone numbers is a very troublesome thing, and he cannot continue to use the counterfeit phone bought by the waiter.

The car that was left on the roadside at that time was dragged back by the traffic police. He had to go through the procedures and pay a fine and deduct points before he could get it back.

It took a whole day to go, and now it's finally done. Jiang Xiao plans to go home first, take a hot shower, and have a good sleep. He will eliminate all the mental tensions these days.

During the three days I lived in the bath center, although there was no substantial disturbance, Jiang Xiao's spirit was always tense.

But just as Jiang Xiao started the car, his phone rang. He picked up the phone and saw that the screen showed agent Zhao Tianyu, and couldn't help but sigh again.

"Jiang Xiao! Where have you been going these days! You can't live without seeing anyone or body, how can you do your job as an agent? Do you know how many notices you have released pigeons in these three days? Do you know how many times I have called you?"

As soon as the phone was connected, Zhao Tianyu scolded her angrily. This woman was already twenty-six years old, but she had never restrained her hot temper. Her personal relationship with Jiang Xiao also made her never need to control her emotions in front of Jiang Xiao.

"Okay, OK, I know..." Jiang Xiao sighed helplessly: "I... something happened. I just solved it. It was inconvenient to show up in the past three days, so I threw away my phone."

"What happened? What can you do? I know better than anyone else how much money you have made in the past few years. You will never be forced to hide from debt!" Zhao Tianyu heard Jiang Xiao say something happened to him, and his originally angry tone suddenly eased a lot, but he was still a little suspicious: "I remember that you have no other hobbies besides drinking and picking up girls, at least you don't gamble."

"If it's really a matter of money, that's fine." Jiang Xiao smiled bitterly: "Anyway, there's no way to explain it to you, so... don't ask too much..."

"...Really? Sister, I have some connections in the world. If you are threatened or have any other troubles, just click and tell me." Zhao Tianyu was silent for a moment, and his tone became calm: "Jiang Xiao, we have made an agreement. I will not inquire about any secrets of your magic performance, but you can't hide anything else."

"When did we have such an agreement?" Jiang Xiao smiled bitterly: "Is this my private life good?"

"It's not the case when it affects work. Where are you now?" Zhao Tianyu interrupted Jiang Xiao's words simply and neatly.

"Be outside, go home to sleep immediately." Jiang Xiao replied helplessly.

"Don't sleep. See you at home." Zhao Tianyu threw a word and hung up the phone directly.

Jiang Xiao looked at the phone that was hung up in his hand, sighed helplessly, threw it into the passenger seat, then started the car and drove towards home.
