I'm a mentally ill person, and I was chosen to participate in the Rules of the Strange Tales.

Because these old men and women were not only telling the truth, but they had also watched him grow up, and some of them had even taken care of him more than his own parents.

They scolded them for almost an hour before they finally stopped.

When the middle-aged man left, even his once straight back was hunched over.

"Hey~"

The middle-aged man sighed helplessly.

I never expected that even after so many years, the pressure of being scolded would still be so great.

These elderly men and women were the same people from the military compound that Xiaobai and Jiang Xiao had worked with.

People of their age love to tease their grandchildren.

Unfortunately, times have changed.

There are fewer and fewer young people living in the compound.

Their children have all settled down in other places, so who would want to move to this suburb?

There are young people here now, but they are mostly acquaintances who send their younger relatives over to build relationships and get noticed. They are all over twenty years old.

Moreover, they all tiptoed around these elderly people, unable to relax at all.

In contrast, the lively and mischievous Xiaobai and Xitang are much more to their liking.

Is this not?

They were planning to visit Xiaobai and Muxitang in Qingshan and spend the New Year there.

Who would have thought that just as they were happily packing their bags, they would suddenly learn that someone was going to target Xiaobai?

Oh my god.

Won't this cause an uproar?

Although they haven't spent much time together, many people treat Xiaobai and Mu Xitang like their own granddaughters.

The young people in the compound know this.

These elderly people may not watch Jiang Xiao's live stream every day.

But they definitely keep an eye on Xiaobai and Muxitang's personal accounts. Even a simple post about eating or doing homework can bring a smile to the faces of these old ladies.

Now the "granddaughter" is being ordered by the "son" to be arrested and interrogated?

So, the son was ordered to fly over and be scolded.

If someone hadn't stopped them, some of the elderly men and women might have actually attacked him.

"Quickly, let's set off now! If this affects Xiaobai and Xiaofen and frightens them, I will definitely call him to Qingshan to apologize in person!"

"I just wanted to slap him across the face! How old are Xiaobai and the others? With such a huge online uproar these days, I heard they're still in kindergarten."

"What if classmates view them with prejudice and distance themselves from or isolate them?"

"Hmph! If you ask me, we should just transfer them to the system, then no one will dare to act rashly!"

hiss?

Although it seems somewhat unreasonable, it does seem to make sense.

In short, the last group of elderly men and women set off in a grand procession.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

After Jiang Xiao finished dealing with Pennywise, he returned to the Strange Research Institute with Du Lala and the others.

The other party, of course, kept their word and let Jiang Xiao choose three projects.

Both sides agreed on this point and were not afraid of any tricks from the other side.

Jiang Xiao wasn't worried about the research institute giving him some junk to fool him.

The research institute wasn't worried that Jiang Xiao hadn't solved Pennywise, but he lied to them and said he had.

Because there is a strange rule of "fairness and impartiality" acting as an intermediary between the two.

If anyone felt something was off...

That's probably Du Lala, who knows a little about Jiang Xiao.

Isn't this kid being a little too quiet and normal?

You should know that Jiang Xiao has never played by the rules.

Now that the problem is solved, they're bound to raise the price and ask for an exorbitant amount, right?

Although the research institute is unlikely to meet his unreasonable demands, Jiang Xiao will definitely mention it.

But now

Jiang Xiao walked in front of a pile of "projects" with his hands behind his back, looking at this one and touching that one, occasionally making satisfied "tsk tsk" sounds.

Unless he obtained something rare and valuable, he would never behave like this!

Du Lala thought this to herself with certainty, and at the same time, she went to Jiang Xiao's side to give him a hint.

"Not bad, you've had a great time, haven't you?"

"It's alright, just so-so."

Jiang Xiao, who was smiling, stopped halfway through his sentence and looked coldly at Du Lala. Good grief, you're trying to trick me into talking, aren't you?

Du Lala is a smart woman; she only needed to test the waters, and it seems she did indeed get something good.

It's most likely from Pennywise.

"Hey, Brother Jiang Xiao, we're practically family, aren't we? Have you forgotten our secret deal about the Soul Separation of the Ghostly Artifact?"

em

Yes, Du Lala is on our side.

The last time her soul left her body was also because Du Lala "betrayed" the organization and gave it to her.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiao coughed lightly and, when no one was paying attention, told Du Lala what he had obtained.

Of course, there was no detailed explanation; it was only mentioned that he had obtained something.

Clown mask?

Du Lala looked suspicious and then began to scrutinize Jiang Xiao from head to toe.

At first, she thought she would receive some small trinket or even a piece of paper.

Who would have thought it was such a big mask?

Besides, where's the mask?

It seems there's nowhere on Jiang Xiao's body to hide a mask, right?

Seeing Du Lala's confusion, Jiang Xiao explained.

"The mask can be worn not only on the face, but also on the buttocks."

Du Lala: "?"

Honestly, that's a bit perverted.

But then again, no wonder Jiang Xiao refused to ride the children's rocking horse and insisted on walking.

Oh, so it was something on its butt.

"Brother Jiang Xiao, you've looked around twice, have you made your choice yet?"

B2 also came over, and was also very curious about what the two had been whispering about.

Chapter 466 Clearance

Project 16

Name: Time-Freezing Bell

Effect: Can control enemies with weaker spirituality than yourself for five minutes; conversely, you will be controlled for five minutes.

Very good stuff.

The only downside is that, under normal circumstances, you can't determine whether the enemy's intelligence is higher or lower than your own.

If the enemy's intelligence is higher than yours, then you're doomed.

Of course, there are also some usage limitations.

That means it must be used when the other party is not on guard, otherwise the effect will be greatly reduced.

Overall, it's still pretty good. Jiang Xiao always felt like he'd seen something similar to the time-freezing bell in some of Sakura's tokusatsu films.

As for the rest, they're all junk, which was agreed upon with the research institute beforehand.

After getting close to Pennywise, the institute will give you three projects: one of the top 20, and the rest are unlimited.

So the rest are all junk, with similar effects to the conscious corpse; they're all auxiliary items.

Jiang Xiao was actually mentally prepared for this.
