"Have your mother come over and give her a piece of your mind. I think you just want a peanut sundae, don't you?"
The two were evenly matched, neither willing to concede to the other.
In the end, it was a gentle middle-aged woman who broke the deadlock.
"Jiang Xiao, do you still remember me?"
Jiang Xiao's memory was not good to begin with, so he could only vaguely recall who this person was.
Seeing his expression, the woman knew she hadn't been recognized, so she took out a pendant.
"You remember this?"
this!
I remember that!
"Oh! I remember now! You're the woman who said I was sick! In the end, you found out that you were the one who was sick, and you said you went to a sanatorium to recuperate, right? Your gynecological problems are cured?"
He Mengyao: I'm *****!
wipe?
I don't have any gynecological problems!
After cultivating my mind and character for so long, I thought I could be evenly matched with this man, but I didn't expect to break down my defenses as soon as we met.
Is this kid still firmly convinced that he's not sick?
The dean gave the woman an approving look.
Yes, you guessed it. This kid not only firmly believes he's not sick, but because of his strange talent, he's even more convinced that he's a normal person.
Jiang Xiao had previously wondered if he was mentally ill.
Now, all the abnormalities have been attributed by his subjective consciousness to the personalities in the ghost stories.
Final Thoughts
Patrick Star and his friends are the ones who are sick; I, Jiang Xiao, am definitely not sick.
Seeing that He Mengyao was at a loss, the dean told Jiang Xiao to leave first.
"Mengyao, so you're saying this? You've met the person, are you confident?"
The woman shook her head, indicating that she had underestimated Jiang Xiao's "growth rate".
Unexpectedly, the strange behavior in the ghost stories did not make him doubt that he was sick; instead, it became an excuse for him to believe that he was not sick.
"What should I do?"
"It's alright. Since I'm willing to come, I'm sure I have a way to deal with him!"
"For example?" the dean pressed.
Have you ever heard of the idiom "besieging Wei to rescue Zhao"?
In He Mengyao's plan, since Jiang Xiao was stubborn and unyielding, she intended to target Mu Xitang and Bai Yi instead.
Of course, it's not about doing anything to them.
Instead, they used those two little girls to indirectly treat Jiang Xiao's mental illness.
As the saying goes, "One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black." As long as those two little kids are instilled with the right values, we can then use that to influence Jiang Xiao.
Then I'll definitely be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort when I treat Jiang Xiao in the future!
After hearing He Mengyao's plan, the dean said "good" three times!
"As expected of Mengyao, I am not as good as you. Although I also thought of the relationship between Bai Yi and Mu Xitang and Jiang Xiao and planned to use it as a starting point, what I thought of was to use their importance in Jiang Xiao's heart to coerce him."
A confident look appeared on He Mengyao's face.
"What do you think? I heard someone has already arranged kindergarten for those two little girls, and I've already been hired as a kindergarten teacher there. When the time comes, won't I be able to do whatever I want with them?"
Great!
The dean felt ashamed of himself.
Before the ghost story began, Jiang Xiao fulfilled Bai Yi's wish to the fullest.
Ever since she heard that Jiang Xiao had taken Mu Xitang to an amusement park, this little girl has been incredibly envious.
Today was the first time she had left the military compound in all this time.
Is this not?
Jiang Xiao borrowed a small car and took the two girls for drives every day. As for sending them to kindergarten...
He had long forgotten about it.
Although Bai Yi and the others remembered that they had to go to school, they wouldn't be foolish enough to remind Jiang Xiao.
How could something as boring as going to school compare to the excitement of going out and having fun with Dad every day?
Chapter 317 Strange Tales: Rural Ghost Stories
The Game of Rules and Mysteries is Coming Soon; The Chosen One is Being Selected.
Perhaps because she had to take care of Jiang Xiao and spend time with her daughter, the strange tale didn't begin until the afternoon of the fifth day.
Sixty screens lit up one after another, and the list was displayed in the live broadcast rooms of various countries.
[Dragon Kingdom: Jiang Xiao]
[Lighthouse: Justin]
Kimchi: Xie Buruo
【Sakura: Kameda Yujiro】
[Ding, the game is about to begin. Please activate your talent effect one: Imagination]
Jiang Xiao was well-prepared this time, and the process of imagining things went surprisingly smoothly!
[Imagined character locked in]
[Imagined character locked in]
[Ding, too many imagined characters detected in the host's mind; imagination failed.]
[Ding, your fantasy has succeeded]
[Jiang Xiao's effects: Mental disorder, effects unknown.]
Sure enough~
Jiang Xiao opened his eyes and looked suspiciously at the void behind him.
This time, the character he imagined was not himself, but the final result was no different from the previous two.
In retrospect, the reason I imagined myself to be someone else was not due to my own subjective consciousness, but rather because of a problem with my talent.
Upon closer reflection, it seems to have started after he developed a dual personality.
Do ghost stories know that after giving me a few more imaginary fantasies, they will truly become invincible?
To be honest, I was just trying to imagine myself as Conan or something to make up for my lack of intelligence, but I failed.
As the light faded.
Jiang Xiao appeared in a forest at dusk.
[Ding, game started. Enter the world of ghost stories, rural eeriness.]
[This difficulty level is rated eight stars, and external prompts are limited.]
The note from the previous round wasn't too difficult, but according to the rules, this time the ghost story definitely won't be so easy.
The temperature in the forest is colder than it is in the current season on Earth; it seems that winter has already arrived.
Many of the Chosen Ones who were dressed lightly were shivering from the cold.
"Good heavens, where are the rules? Where are the rules?"
"Sakura," Kameda Yujiro muttered to himself.
Unlike before, this time the strange tale did not directly present the rules to the chosen ones; all they saw were trees.
Occasionally, some crows would be startled by the noise made by the Chosen Ones and fly up into the sky, cawing a few times.
The road down the mountain
Finally, people began to discover a strange stone tablet not far away.
The rules should be written above, right?
Rule 1: The descent is a straight line; no turns are allowed. If you feel the route is wrong, that's your own problem.
[Rule Two: Something comes out of the forest at night and eats people. If you don't want to die here, try to get to the town at the foot of the mountain before sunset.]
[Rule 3: If you feel someone watching you from behind on your way down the mountain, never turn around; it's not real.]
Well?
There are only three rules, and anyone with a sound mind knows that this is an incomplete set of rules, only covering the path down the mountain.
