Her voice, though not loud, resonated clearly in the quiet office, like a stone dropped into a calm lake, instantly shattering the previously warm atmosphere.
Jiang Wenyu's fair-skinned fingers lightly tapped on the desk, seemingly waiting for Jiang Ming's response. Her gaze was sharp and probing, devoid of any hint of jest.
For a moment, the air in the office felt as if it had solidified, all eyes focused intently on Jiang Ming.
Sitting in his chair, Jiang Ming furrowed his brow slightly, looking somewhat fatigued. He nodded in acknowledgment and slowly began to speak. "I was dealing with some personal matters in S City. Those issues were like a tangled mess, leaving me quite unsettled. Just at that critical moment, I received some news that hit me like a bolt from the blue, completely disrupting my already turbulent life."
A flicker of anger flashed in his eyes. "Someone claimed that I had appeared in the waters of the South China Sea and had crazily destroyed dozens of fishing boats. The surrounding natural scenery suffered immeasurable damage, and the economic losses were severe. Those beautiful coral reefs might have been shattered beyond recognition, leaving people who relied on fishing and tourism in despair."
Jiang Ming's fists clenched unconsciously. "At that time, I was injured as well—severely so. Every movement felt like countless steel needles stabbing into my body. I could only lie there nursing my wounds, watching helplessly as the situation outside deteriorated further without being able to go out and explain everything to the local government."
Drui Feng looked puzzled and interrupted Jiang Ming, standing up quickly. "Wait, wait, wait! Jiang Ge, why couldn't you go out and explain this to the Pacific Ability Federation? You're a double S-rank! What kind of injury could keep you confined for so long? This is unbelievable."
Yan Qing sat nearby, biting her lip. A complex expression flickered in her eyes as if she had already guessed part of the reason.
Jiang Wenyu also frowned slightly. She tilted her head to look at Jiang Ming with confusion in her eyes. "Yes, Jiang Ming, with your strength, it's hard to believe anything could injure you like this."
Jiang Ming shook his head helplessly and forced a bitter smile. "This brings me to the second event I wanted to share with everyone. As you all know, in the world of Ability Users, naturally occurring S-rank or above Ability Users are exceedingly rare—like precious treasures. And I..."
He paused for a moment, a hint of self-mockery flashing in his eyes. "I am an outstanding experiment from that Madness woman over ten years ago."
At this point, he chuckled bitterly a couple of times; his smile was filled with sorrow and helplessness. "I am inherently unstable—like a broken doll pieced together with many flaws. For instance, every so often, I fall into an extreme period of weakness. During those times, my Psychic Ability structure resembles a precarious building on the verge of collapse; my physical condition deteriorates drastically and could fall apart at any moment. In those weak days, I need to find a quiet and comfortable place to conduct self-repair without any external disturbances. Those guys took advantage of this weakness to commit these wrongdoings under my name."
"Ah, it's not Jiang Ge, you are actually an artificial Ability User."
Drui Feng widened his eyes in surprise, unable to believe that the person he had always admired, Jiang Ge, had such a background.
Hearing Drui Feng's words, Jiang Wenyu looked puzzled as she scrutinized Jiang Ming from head to toe, as if trying to discern something different about him.
Jiang Ming let out a slight sigh and continued, "There's nothing to be curious about. Ever since that Madness woman started her insane endeavors several years ago, countless Ability User test subjects have perished at her hands. I am merely one of the few who managed to survive as an Ability User test subject."
He cleared his throat, his gaze turning resolute. "Cough, it's precisely because of these events that misunderstandings about me have deepened. However, I have a friend in the Alliance. I informed him of my situation, and he reported it internally. Ultimately, the Alliance decided to send me to Z City, allowing me to investigate the source of the last incident and clear my name."
"The last incident that was carried out in my name and harmed the public was the explosion in Ningyang District of Z City." Jiang Ming's eyes grew profound as if he were deep in thought.
"The Ningyang District Explosion Incident, huh?"
Drui Feng stroked his chin thoughtfully. Suddenly, he seemed to have an epiphany; his eyes lit up as he looked at Yan Qing, who was already working on his computer nearby. "This incident seems to be something that Yan Qing has been handling for a month now, but there hasn't been any progress. I never expected that the main culprit would appear right here in our office."
Once again, Drui Feng scrutinized Jiang Ming. He called out boldly, "Hey, Jiang Ge, now that you're here, you must have some information with you, right? Don't keep us in suspense! There must be some news and clues we don't know yet. This case has been a headache for Yan Qing for a month; it's still shrouded in mystery. How about we go over the old case files again and re-examine everything? What do you think?"
With a serious expression, Jiang Ming nodded firmly. "Of course. I'm here to thoroughly investigate this matter, clear my name, and provide an explanation to the public."
As he spoke, he glanced at Yan Qing, who was focused intently on his computer. After a brief pause, he began recounting the events.
"A month ago, behind the campus on Street 13 in Ningyang District, a shocking explosion occurred. The blast was powerful; thick smoke billowed into the sky while nearby buildings trembled precariously. Glass shards rained down like confetti. The public was terrified and fled in all directions; it was utter chaos. Moreover, black structures appeared on the ground bearing the name of Mountain God. Those words loomed like a death sentence—ominous and terrifying—which is why you suspected it was the work of Mountain God, believing it to be a terrorist attack, right?"
Jiang Ming spoke while gesturing with his hands, trying to recreate the scene from that day.
Drui Feng scratched his head, nodding slightly before hesitantly shaking it, his brow furrowed in a conflicted expression. "Well, I can't say it's entirely accurate, Brother Jiang. At that time, we were just making our first round of judgments based on the situation at the crime scene. After all, it was quite misleading. But we also know that there’s no solid evidence proving you did it; those guys just insist on pinning the blame on you."
A confident yet slightly mocking smile crept onto Jiang Ming's lips. "A month ago, I was at the headquarters of the Pacific Ability Federation's Military District Research Institute, which is heavily guarded with surveillance and witnesses everywhere. There's no way I could have been at the crime scene. This bizarre incident has given me the chance to investigate personally, and I am determined to uncover whoever is pulling the strings behind this."
A glint of cold light flashed in his eyes, as if he could already see the truth lying ahead.
