Chapter 319: The Troublesome Girl
Xinxin continued walking forward, seeming to not notice anything strange.
Chu Jiang also didn’t do anything to provoke her, he just said, "If you only want to see her, you don’t have to overthink it. It’s better to talk about some things openly."
However, Xinxin didn’t pay attention to Chu Jiang and had already fallen into a state of talking to herself…
When Chu Jiang approached the office door of Ning Miaowei, in his eyes, Xinxin had transformed into a non-human state.
To be precise, Xinxin and the shadow of the Grim Reaper overlapped, and they became a smaller version of the Grim Reaper, with no signs of being human.
Even the doll in her hand came "alive" and kept looking towards Chu Jiang, trying to struggle and escape from its owner’s hand.
It is worth mentioning that, although it is named "Grim Reaper" within the research institute, Xinxin is different from Chu’s Jiang. Its essence is to create accidents with death as the endpoint.
This is somewhat similar to Jing Ruoxue’s Chu Mei, as their main domain is luck.
However, Chu Mei can bring both disaster and blessings to people; the Grim Reaper only brings endless misfortune until the victim dies.
As for the research institute, there was not even the slightest reaction. Chu Jiang didn’t know if it was because their accidental handling mechanism was inadequate or if Xinxin was just too special.
In any case, before Xinxin officially started killing, Chu Jiang pressed the doorbell of the expert office.
It wasn’t Ning Miaowei who came to open the door, but a young girl with crystal orchids on her head.
She saw the strange changes in Xinxin and immediately backed away like a frightened cat. "Senior sister! She’s in trouble again."
Ning Miaowei hurriedly ran out of the adjacent lab, holding a tube of purple reagent that was still bubbling.
"Who is in trouble?"
In Ning Miaowei’s eyes, Xinxin was still Xinxin, but her expression was somewhat gloomy.
However, seeing Ning Xiaorou’s reaction, she immediately understood that Xinxin must have entered "that" state again.
Ning Miaowei threw the test tube onto the table in a panic and took out a recording pen, playing a pre-recorded audio.
"What day is it today?" a gentle female voice came from the recording pen.
Xinxin hesitated for a moment, then instinctively replied, "Today is Wednesday."
"Did you take your medicine?"
"After eating," Xinxin nodded repeatedly, "I eat one in the morning when I wake up, and I eat another one before going to sleep at night."
"How is Xiao Xiong doing today?"
"It made a bad person, the Ghost Master, have a mental breakdown, and satisfied their desire for mischief."
"How is Xinxin’s mood today?"
"A little… a little bored, but when I heard Sister Zhou’s voice, I became a little happier."
"Hmm, come here."
Guided by the sound of the recording pen, Xinxin’s condition gradually improved. She took step by step forward, gradually separating from the grim reaper shadows surrounding her.
Then Chu Jiang saw a bizarre scene – a black, sharp claw extended from the recording pen. This claw was elusive and looked somewhat sinister, as if it carried various human emotions.
But when Xinxin saw it, a smile appeared on her face. It was the first time Chu Jiang had seen her smile, and she seemed a bit shy.
The paw touched Xinxin’s head in a gentle way, and Xinxin lowered her head, looking very pleased.
Then her eyelids started to fight each other, as if feeling a bit sleepy.
"Do you want to sleep? You can go to bed for a nap, and remember to take your medicine."
"Um…okay…" Xinxin replied slowly, and she moved her head bit by bit, habitually heading towards the rest area on the other side of the office.
During this process, Xinxin paid no attention to others, only taking out a metal pill bottle from her body and pouring out a blue pill to swallow.
Chu Jiang stared at her intently, even activating his heightened senses.
But why did he feel… that Xinxin’s pill seemed more like candy, giving off a sweet smell?
In any case, Xinxin spontaneously went to sleep in the rest area. As she closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep, the shadow of death dissipated on its own; only the little teddy bear doll remained, occasionally turning its eyes.
Ning Miaowei finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this. She patted her chest, closed the door to the rest area, and walked over.
Then she looked at Chu Jiang and asked, "What’s going on? Xinxin hasn’t been this serious for a long time. Why did she get sick again after a mission?"
Chu Jiang didn’t respond at first, but asked, "Did Zhou Wenshan give you this pen?"
The voice coming from the recording pen was hers. Chu Jiang had witnessed the ghostly hand and hypnotic ability to put people to sleep in Zhou Wenshan before.
Ning Miaowei nodded, "There’s probably no one else in the world who can make Xinxin behave but Miss Zhou."
Chu Jiang thought for a moment. He explained the previous situation first and then asked further, "If Xinxin has this hidden danger, why did headquarters assign Xinxin to you for care instead of her?"
Ning Miaowei helplessly shrugged her shoulders, "The desires of the human heart are boundless. Miss Zhou’s idea is that by staying by Xinxin’s side, Xinxin has a chance to become a obedient and good child."
"But there is also a possibility that, after a long time, Xinxin will become insatiable and seek more spiritual comfort from Miss Zhou. If she can’t get it, Xinxin might go crazy."
"So, she believes a better treatment plan is to gradually make Xinxin independent from her. Otherwise, if Miss Zhou unexpectedly dies one day, Xinxin and the ghost on her may create a new S-class event together."
This made Chu Jiang sigh, "She’s also a troublesome girl. It seems like there aren’t many sane people among us Ghost Masters."
"You two should talk about this later," said Ning Xiaorou with flowers on her head, pinching her nose and pointing to the other side of the desk.
Ning Miaowei turned her head and immediately cried out in pain, "My hard work~!!"
She rushed over to that side, wanting to salvage it, but not only did the purple reagent spill out, but in just a short while, it had almost completely evaporated, leaving a strange smell in the air.
Chu Jiang asked curiously, "What kind of reagent is this? Is it harmful to the human body?"
Of course, Chu Jiang didn’t cover his nose, and if it really was a volatile toxin, Expert Ning, as an ordinary person, couldn’t have had this reaction.
Ning Miaowei felt annoyed, "I spent a long time preparing it, it’s a sti… ah no, it’s a medicine that is very helpful for the human body."
"Haven’t you been busy lately? So I was preparing to let you try it out, it should be good for your body."
"What does it stimulate?" Chu Jiang frowned.
"Oxytocin," Expert Ning said seriously, "Here’s a fun fact, even men’s bodies produce oxytocin. This hormone can make people feel happy and excited, and it can also help people relieve stress."
