“You’re not Chengzi! Who are you?!”
The girl’s low roar, as if facing a great enemy, startled Gu Xiyan.
“She’s a fake?!”
Gu Xiyan had always thought that Chengzi was just an ordinary person who had been caught up in this.
She hadn’t thought much of it.
Now it seemed that this girl was an imposter?
‘Disguise technique? Or a transformation technique? Has this infiltration method met a fellow practitioner?’
‘How strange.
From the time she had been attacked by Feng Yi at the riverside last night until now, how could things keep happening one after another? It had been less than twenty hours, hey!’
“Eh? I was actually seen through…”
The fake Chengzi tossed the jade pendant in her hand up and down, putting on a fake expression of surprise.
“Sister, even a fool can see through you…”
A young man’s voice pierced through the air.
The classroom door burst open, and the dark golden-haired young man walked in from outside, rubbing his forehead.
“You?! You’re not…”
Bai Ling’s eyes widened.
Wasn’t this young man the guy she had shot and killed before? She had personally seen the bullet pierce through his forehead!
“Oh! Hello, Sister Bai! That shot really hurt!”
The young man rubbed his forehead and walked to the fake Chengzi.
“I haven’t introduced myself yet.
Jia Ye, currently an intern in the intelligence department of the AXE Group.”
Jia Ye, this was clearly a code name, not a real name.
“I thought my disguise was perfect…”
The fake Chengzi sighed and wiped her cheek.
A veil-like substance came off, revealing a completely different face with a charming temperament.
Even her voice had become charming and lazy.
“Qian Mian · Qin Fengling, director of the intelligence department of the AXE Group.
I’ve told you my code name, real name, and position.
Isn’t that sincere enough?”
The tips of her tea-colored hair slowly fell with the airflow of the air conditioner, and the scent of gardenia in the classroom suddenly became strong.
“It’s you?!”
Bai Ling suddenly remembered.
She had seen this woman before!
On the night she had first consciously demonized and met Guan Qing!
At that time, she had been guided by this tea-haired woman in the night market to Guan Qing’s beauty salon! Soon after, someone had sent her new ID card.
Guan Qing had said that the woman had a scent of gardenia.
Thinking about it now, it should also be her.
But why?
“What’s with that expression?”
Qin Fengling suddenly frowned and pointed at Bai Ling.
“If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t even have a dorm to live in! For you, I even hacked into the household registration system! It took a lot of effort!”
‘A dorm?!’
On the day she had just arrived at Lin’an University to register, she had been assigned to a girls’ dorm for some unknown reason.
At that time, she had thought it was a mistake by the senior in charge of registration.
Thinking about it now, had this woman been watching her since then?
And Gu Xiyan, on the side, was even more shocked.
‘AXE Group? Isn’t that a supplier for the War Preparation Bureau?!’
Although it seemed that the AXE Group was behind the Skin-Painter incident at Lin’an University, the Demon Suppression Division had not made any statement about these clues.
Even Cheng Yu, the Demon Suppression Supervisor, had personally ordered the investigation to be stopped.
The case report of the Skin-Painter incident also mentioned that during the time they were supporting Rongcheng as a cross-district support team, someone had hacked into the household registration system, which had caused the disappearance of people to not be reported to the Demon Suppression Division in time.
In that case, the person who had hacked into the household registration system and had caused the casualties in the Skin-Painter incident was her?
“Is there anything you want to ask?”
Perhaps seeing the two’s uncertain psychological activities, Qin Fengling said, playing with the jade pendant in her hand,
“This is a confession session.
I’ll answer any questions!”
“What is your purpose?”
Gu Xiyan suddenly asked.
“The group’s purpose is to recover that zombie, but my personal purpose…”
Qin Fengling examined the jade pendant in her palm in the faint light from the window.
A faint fluorescence appeared in the smooth crack.
“is this.”
“After all, the boss specifically asked for this.”
She shook the jade pendant in her hand.
“But now it seems that the thing inside has already been transferred to you.”
She looked at Bai Ling thoughtfully.
“Now it’s just an ordinary jade pendant that can be found anywhere.
It can’t block baleful aura or anything!”
“So it wasn’t the jade pendant that cleared the baleful aura just now, but me?”
Bai Ling said in surprise.
“Bingo! You got it! So smart.”
Qin Fengling flipped over and sat on the teacher’s desk, her two slender legs, wrapped in office black stockings, crossed in a seductive manner.
“By the way, the guy you just met was my colleague!”
“In other words, she is also a member of the AXE Group? What are you guys doing in the dark? Why are you letting demons harm people?”
Gu Xiyan asked.
“The casualties in the Skin-Painter incident were just a technical error.”
Qin Fengling’s two legs dangled on the teacher’s desk.
“Think about it carefully.
In the subsequent Lin’an University incident, no civilians were harmed, right? Our principle is to protect civilians.”
Gu Xiyan thought about it carefully, and it was true.
In both the previous Lin’an University incident and today’s incident, it seemed that no civilians had been involved.
“As for what we’re doing? Although the internal struggles within the group are no less than the internal struggles in your Demon Suppression Division, don’t worry, the group and the Demon Suppression Division are on the same side.”
“But your purpose is different from the AXE Group’s, right?”
Bai Ling noticed that she had deliberately used the word “group” when she had said that, not “we.”
“Hahaha, you’re so sharp!”
Qin Fengling held her stomach and laughed.
“It’s so refreshing not to be a riddler!”
“My purpose is indeed a little different from the group’s.
I’m just serving my boss.”
“Isn’t your boss’s purpose the group’s purpose?”
“No, no, no, that’s too different!”
Qin Fengling wiped the tears of laughter from the corners of her eyes.
“Just like this jade pendant.
The boss wants it, so I’ll get it.”
‘So she had disguised herself as Chengzi and had stayed by Bai Ling’s side just to get this jade pendant?’
“With your ability, you could have just snatched it, right? What’s the secret in that jade pendant?”
Bai Ling said in a low voice.
It seemed that she had also turned into a girl in the bathroom that day because of this jade pendant.
Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that all the supernatural events she had encountered were because of this jade pendant?
“Because it’s more interesting this way!”
Qin Fengling played with the jade pendant, her thumb caressing the smooth crack.
“As for what secret is in this jade pendant, to be honest, I don’t know either.
Maybe only the boss knows.”
“But the thing inside has already been transferred to you.
Maybe I’ll have to take you to the boss to report.”
“Hey, hey! No need to be so on guard, right?”
Seeing that Bai Ling and Gu Xiyan had suddenly prepared for battle, Qin Fengling quickly explained,
“That’s also after reporting to the boss and seeing her instructions.
At least for now, there’s no need for us to have a conflict.”
“The jade pendant, give it back!”
Bai Ling did not let down her guard because of Qin Fengling’s words.
She still maintained a posture of being ready to strike at any moment.
“You want it? Then come and get it!”
The red string of the jade pendant circled around Qin Fengling’s finger.
“Whoosh!”
Before her words could fall, a sound of tearing air was heard in the stagnant air of the classroom.
Bai Ling casually threw a chair at Qin Fengling.
“Crack!”
The chair grazed Qin Fengling’s hair and smashed on the blackboard, instantly disintegrating, leaving a spiderweb of cracks on the blackboard.
“I said! Give it back!”
A rare anger appeared in Bai Ling’s eyes.
