Don’t worry about i Sister pulling any tricks.
"I understand," Wolf nodded, then changed the subject, "By the way, you haven’t told what exactly did you end up doing in the Fifth District?"
"The things I did... well, there’s actually quite a bit," Jiang Shu scratched his head, "Originally, I was just looking for my sister... on a trip, and then happened to stumble upon the Tang situation, so I just went along and saved a world."
"Uh..." Wolf’s face turned dark, but since he was already familiar with Jiang Shu’s Versailles-style bragging, he selectively ignored Jiang Shu’s words and continued to question, looking straight into Jiang Shu’s eyes, "Did you see Tang? Did he really do all those things?"
According to the Three Major Groups, Dick Tang had been branded a rebellious noble and was being hunted, despite his absence.
This piece of news was hard for all district police stations to accept, leaving the entire police system in a gloomy mood.
The image of God had completely collapsed.
But Wolf wasn’t too troubled by it because he had started to doubt Tang when Tang deliberately killed Devil Wind, so this outco, though still poignant, didn’t co as a great surprise to him.
Wolf had already noticed signs that Dick Tang, despite his shiny exterior, was a thoroughgoing ambitious scher.
"I haven’t seen Tang," Jiang Shu replied, also looking directly at Wolf with sincere eyes, "But the new Black Wall’s business was definitely his doing since he took over the Managent Committee. That’s a fact."
"Then what about the events in the E3 sector..." Wolf pressed, as he too was familiar with the full story. The Black Hunters were directly under Tang, to say they could all be controlled by Clo...
He found it hard to believe.
"I’m not too clear on that, I even don’t understand why Clo would appear in the Fifth District," Jiang Shu shrugged helplessly, "According to what the Three Major Groups said previously, wasn’t he supposed to be dead?"
"The internal story is that the Clo was a robot made by Tang, designed to take the fall for him," replied Wolf.
Jiang Shu didn’t express any opinion on this.
In any case, no matter how the process unfolded, once the results were determined, the Three Major Groups would always have a more fitting narrative for the citizens of Lonely City.
Resurrection and such could only be rumors, which is also why the TV station was eager to have him help fight superstition.
He just had to go with the flow, since he disliked complications.
Right, it’s decided, he would have to choose the na of the show himself, and it would be called "Approaching Science."
"There’s more, during the ti you were gone, a lot has happened in Thirteen District," Wolf suddenly rembered, "and not just the things that are public."
Jiang Shu perked up his ears to listen.
In the past few days, he had also heard so things about Thirteen District. With the remaining A-level criminals and so B-level criminals from the Clo Wars, the district was trending towards the Gothamization of Lonely City.
It’s like the Saint Andrews of Lonely City.
Additionally, soone claiming to be "Rift" had erged out of the blue, and within the span of just one week, had caught and publicly executed two A-level criminals with thundering thods.
mbers of the Deception Group also seed to be active in Thirteen District, targeting those hidden criminals, but their thods were sowhat milder.
They caught an A-level criminal and dumped him unconscious on the doorstep of the Thirteen District Police Station.
It felt a bit like vigilantism.
The active mbers of the Deception Group in Thirteen District were naturally Ancient Snake and the Painter. Although their cooperation was fraught, they still managed so decent gains.
"Like what?" Jiang Shu countered.
"In an operation to capture ’Rift’, his Cyber Syndro relapsed, sending him into a frenzy," Wolf said, then explained, "’Mr. Yaxi’ is the spiritual leader of the semi-religious organization ’Wildfire’ that was active in the First and Second Districts not too long ago, but they seem to have vanished from the public eye for a while now."
"Yaxi?" Jiang Shu’s eyes flickered slightly.
Black Kler? So Rift is connected to Black Kler? Was that laid out as a contingency by him before? Then what role did Rift play? Why hadn’t there been any word of Rift throughout the entire Thirteen District War?
A multitude of questions surged in Jiang Shu’s mind.
But he wasn’t in a hurry because he knew there was soone at ho who could answer his questions.
Red Clo.
"Anyway, it’s been quite an eventful autumn," Wolf concluded, then revealed his real intention, "I need your help, Jiang Shu."
"Next ti for sure," Jiang Shu replied almost reflexively, then repeated to emphasize, "Next ti for sure."
It seed he felt a bit guilty for his response, so he sighed and said, "I only know a few magic tricks, you want to go catch those A-level criminals..."
"But you even sorted out Clo," Wolf’s eyes glinted with resolve as he stared at him, "That was Clo. You’ve twice rescued civilians from his clutches, don’t tell there isn’t a fire of justice in your heart."
Jiang Shu: "..."
Seeing that Jiang Shu wasn’t engaging, Wolf played his trump card and mimicked Jiang Shu’s tone, "I save you, and it has nothing to do with you~"
"Shut up," Jiang Shu’s face darkened imdiately, knowing that performance from the other day was a mistake.
