195: Chapter 195 I've Found You
Huaxia Command Center.
The technician shouted out directly.
"Commander!"
"The Name-Guarding System has upgraded again!"
Xiao Zhenjiang stared at the screen.
"Speak."
The technician swallowed hard.
"New passive added: Unity of Body and Name!"
"If any Blue Star professional encounters Possession, soul-swapping, or personality overwriting, the local Awakening Array will automatically sound an alarm!"
Li Yan's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"This profession System is becoming more and more like criminal investigation."
Zhang Changlin nodded.
"Practical."
Dragon Girl asked in a low voice, "So bad guys won't be able to steal bodies in the future?"
Li Yan said, "At least they'd have to register with their real names before stealing."
Dragon Girl thought for a moment.
"Then Master is still the most impressive."
"Master doesn't register; he just catches the thief directly."
More and more cracks appeared on the black jade on Original Jiang Feng's chest.
He looked at Jiang Feng, a hint of anger finally appearing in his eyes.
"By what right?"
"By the right of me being pushed aside for eighteen years."
"By the right that I should have existed."
"By the right that I am the Jiang Feng in the original records."
Jiang Feng walked up to him.
"What does it have to do with me that you should have existed?"
Original Jiang Feng paused.
Jiang Feng continued:
"Find whoever pushed you aside."
"Find whoever stuffed you into the roots."
"Find whoever left the backdoor."
"You're asking my mom for a son and asking me for a body."
"That's where you're wrong."
Liu Cuilan nodded over the communication channel.
"Right."
"Every injustice has its cause, and every debt has its debtor."
"Stop picking on my Xiao Feng."
Original Jiang Feng suddenly laughed.
The laughter was cold and hollow.
"You think I wanted to find you?"
"The first thing I saw when I woke up was you sitting in my place."
"You have food to eat."
"You have someone calling you home."
"You have someone scolding the higher dimensions for you."
"What about me?"
He raised his hand and pointed at his hollow chest.
"I only have this."
The intact black jade flew up.
The center of the flower split open.
Scene after scene began to emerge.
In the dark root System, a child was curled up.
The sound of a baby crying came from outside.
The sound of Liu Cuilan coaxing a child followed.
The sound of Jiang Jianguo clumsily changing diapers was heard.
The sound of a three-year-old Jiang Feng crying while having a fever was heard.
Finally, there was Liu Cuilan's sentence—
"Just be safe and sound, and remember to come home."
The child in the roots was very quiet at first.
Later, he began to knock on the root wall.
Once.
And again.
No one heard him.
Li Yan fell silent.
Zhang Changlin didn't say anything either.
This wasn't an attempt at redemption.
But it was indeed tragic enough.
Original Jiang Feng looked at Jiang Feng.
"You stole my life."
Jiang Feng looked at those images.
After a moment, he said, "I can send you to be reincarnated."
Original Jiang Feng's gaze turned cold.
"I don't want to be reincarnated."
Jiang Feng nodded.
"Then there's nothing to talk about."
Li Yan almost choked.
"That transition was way too fast."
Jiang Feng raised his hand and pressed it against the intact black jade.
Original Jiang Feng roared.
"You dare!"
The black jade exploded.
An aura far exceeding the previous body-stealing rules surged from deep within the flower stamen.
[Warning: Original Jiang Feng's Black Jade Core has been unsealed.]
[Detected: Pursuit Seal from outside the flower stamen.]
[Detected: Death Karma from before the Host's Transmigration.]
[Detected: Residual traces of an unknown High-dimensional Hunter.]
Zero Seven's face turned pale.
"Mr. Jiang!"
"Original Jiang Feng isn't just a simple remnant soul!"
"He is a seal!"
"Before the flower stamen sent you to Blue Star, something was hunting you!"
The First Lamp Woman's expression also changed.
"Don't touch the core!"
"That seal will see you!"
Jiang Feng glanced at her.
"If it sees me, it sees me."
His fingers gripped the black jade.
The System prompts flashed frantically.
[Touching: Original Jiang Feng's Black Jade Core.]
[Function: Seals the death scene from before the Host's Transmigration, the original host's resentful soul, and the Pursuit Seal from outside the flower stamen.]
[Risk: After plundering, residual traces of the Host's true origin coordinates will be exposed.]
[Plunderable.]
Jiang Feng's voice was steady.
"Plunder."
Boom!
The Black Jade Core was forcefully torn open by him.
Original Jiang Feng let out a roar of pain.
Not because he was being killed.
But because the gold and black chains wrapped around his soul body were being pulled out one by one.
[Secret Art: Pangu Plunder activated.]
[Zero-er triggered.]
[Original host's resentful soul pollution stripped away.]
[flower stamen recovery mark stripped away.]
[Body-stealing obsession stripped away.]
[Plundered the outer layer of the Black Jade Core.]
[Obtained all attributes: 4.8 asankhyeya.]
[Current basic six-dimensional attributes: 21.16 asankhyeya.]
[Obtained key clue: Afterimage of the death scene.]
Original Jiang Feng knelt in the center of the flower.
The black jade on his chest was half-shattered.
He looked up at Jiang Feng, his voice hoarse.
"You... didn't directly erase me?"
Jiang Feng said, "You wanted to steal my body, so you deserve to die."
"But you weren't the one who put the lock on."
"I'll remove the lock first."
Original Jiang Feng froze.
Liu Cuilan let out a soft snort from her side.
"It seems you haven't been eating my food for nothing, kid."
Jiang Feng raised his hand and pressed Original Jiang Feng's remnant soul into that half-shattered jade.
"If you want a life, live it yourself."
"Don't steal mine."
[Purify Original Jiang Feng's remnant soul and strip it into an independent Soul Seed?]
Jiang Feng said, "Yes."
[Purification successful.]
[Obtained special authority fragment: Distinction of Self and Other.]
[Effect: Can distinguish the ownership boundaries between self, Clone, original host, remnant soul, and mapping entity, preventing external confusion.]
[All attributes increased: 1.5 asankhyeya.]
[Current basic six-dimensional attributes: 22.66 asankhyeya.]
From within the shattered jade.
Original Jiang Feng's voice was much lower.
"I can still live?"
Jiang Feng said, "Whether you can live or not depends on yourself."
Dragon Girl held up her lunch box and gave a serious warning.
"You can't steal Master's ribs."
Original Jiang Feng was silent for a moment.
"...I won't."
Li Yan rubbed his chin.
"Is he recruited just like that?"
Zhang Changlin said, "It's not recruitment."
"It's turning a mine planted by the enemy into a witness."
Jiang Feng looked at the First Lamp Woman.
"Speak now."
"Outside the flower stamen, who killed me?"
The First Lamp Woman did not answer immediately.
She looked at the shattered Black Jade Core.
The afterimage of the death scene inside was slowly unfolding.
It was a darkness without stars.
In the center of the darkness, there was a young man whose face could not be seen clearly.
His chest was pierced by a white Chess Nail.
Behind him was the shadow of a giant withered flower.
Outside the flower shadow stood a person dressed in white.
That person had no pen in their hand.
No chess pieces.
Only an umbrella.
From under the umbrella, a sentence was heard.
"Seeds from outside the flower are not allowed to enter the game."
Zero Seven froze all over.
"This isn't Venerable Xuan."
"It's not Venerable Ming."
"And it's not The Name Writer..."
The First Lamp Woman whispered:
"Of course not."
"That is the Garden Keeper from outside the flower stamen."
She looked at Jiang Feng, her voice much deeper than before.
"Jiang Feng."
"You didn't transmigrate back then."
"You were killed and forced in from outside the flower."
Within the death afterimage.
White-Clad Garden Keeper suddenly looked up.
Across the black jade fragments.
Across the center of the flower.
Across the Inverted Chessboard.
He looked at Jiang Feng.
The surface of the umbrella turned slowly.
A line of white characters appeared on it.
[I found you.]
