I, a Mental Patient, Was Chosen to Participate in AnalogHorror-Chapter 493 - 459: The Change in Reputation

Jiang Xiao’s heart pounded uncontrollably, the appellation—"Demon Child"—stirring an inexplicable force within him.

His gaze once again became astute and complex, his brows furrowed as if he was struggling to recognize this sudden identity.

"Demon Child?"

He whispered, his voice carrying a hint of self-mockery and disbelief.

The corners of Pennywise’s mouth curled into a sinister arc, seemingly reveling in Jiang Xiao’s confusion and struggle.

Its body slowly leaned forward, almost allowing one to feel the cold air emanating from the distorted face.

"Yes, Demon Child, haven’t you realized? Your existence, your power, your thoughts...they aren’t something ordinary people can understand."

Pennywise’s voice was low and seductive.

"Do you feel it? That power that belongs to you, that urge to unleash it?"

"Your world is false, our world is real..."

"You must have noticed already, compared to that false world, this place...it can make you feel at home..."

Home?

Jiang Xiao’s hands clenched into fists, his breathing growing heavier.

Indeed...

He scorned the women of Earth, yet he cherished Sun Wei, who clearly had a strange identity...

And he felt a sincere affection for the three little ones.

Every time he entered Kaidan, he indeed... felt a sense of finding himself, of coming home.

Jiang Xiao could feel an inexplicable power within him becoming more active under Pennywise’s words.

It was as if something was calling him, guiding him toward an unknown realm.

His thoughts plunged into chaos, this name, this identity, all of it was too sudden for him.

But in the depths of his heart, he felt a strange resonance, a feeling he had never experienced before, yet it felt familiar.

"What nonsense are you spewing!"

Jiang Xiao forcefully suppressed the turmoil in his heart, his voice filled with anger and rejection.

"I don’t know what you’re talking about, I only know that you are my enemy, and whatever you’ve done to these innocent children, I will never let you go."

Pennywise seemed unconcerned with Jiang Xiao’s anger, moving leisurely toward him, each step carrying a sinister rhythm.

"Be angry, Jiang Xiao, anger will bring you closer to your true self."

Pennywise’s voice carried an ominous melody.

"Soon, you will understand, our relationship is deeper than you can imagine."

Jiang Xiao’s breathing became labored, he felt an intangible pressure closing in, his heart seeming to be squeezed out of his chest.

He did not know how much of Pennywise’s words were true and how much were false, but he knew he could not lose himself at this moment.

"Nonsense!"

Jiang Xiao roared, his body suddenly bursting forth with a powerful energy, fueled by anger from Project 88 and the power deep within himself.

He charged forward, fists clenched, each punch thrown with the force of thunder.

He intended to use his fists to shatter the twisted being before him, to break those illusions trying to manipulate his destiny.

Pennywise simply smiled lightly, shaking its head.

At this moment, Earth had fallen into complete silence.

Jiang Xiao is a Demon Child?

Though he didn’t understand what Pennywise meant fully.

But, no matter how you looked at it, "Demon Child" wasn’t a good title.

Especially since the clown’s words seemed to imply that Jiang Xiao belonged to the world of Kaidan?

"What the heck? For real, Jiang Shen is spooky?"

"Fudge! I knew it all along; how could normal people be as freakish as Jiang Xiao?"

"No wonder, no wonder, the Kaidan others dread, he seems so excited to face it..."

"Bullshit! Jiang Xiao likes diving into Kaidan stories probably because he’s catching small creatures! Stop spreading rumors!"

"Oh? Isn’t that even more abnormal? Just living with the spooky for seven days, and he wants to bring all four people, including Sun Wei, to our Blue Planet?"

"Exactly! With Jiang Xiao’s current power and status, what kind of woman couldn’t he get? Is he craving spooky beings? How perverted is his taste?"

"Uh... "

"I have a rather immature but very bold speculation... If Jiang Xiao truly belongs to the world of Kaidan demons, could his mission be to bring spooky beings like Sun Wei back to our Blue Planet to ultimately destroy our civilization?"

Hiss...

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone shivered subconsciously.

Yes!

Before, nobody thought about it this way, but now that it’s been mentioned, coupled with what Pennywise said. freewebnøvel.coɱ

No matter how you look at it, Jiang Xiao’s actions exude a spooky aura.

If it’s true, then the Blue Planet...

Isn’t it really doomed?!

Sun Wei and Mu Xitang, who were always paying attention to Jiang Xiao’s movements, obviously saw this information too.

They naturally defended themselves, but faced with the overwhelming defamation, their few words were overshadowed and pushed up unseen.

"Mom! Slander, they’re all slandering us!"

Bai Yi was so anxious she was jumping up and down, on the verge of bursting into tears—anyone who’s been slandered knows how unbearable it feels.

Mu Xitang gritted her teeth and furiously declared she’d crush the heads of those slandering her!

Only Sun Wei, although angry and indignant, felt a deep sense of fear in her heart.

No matter how innocent they are, as the saying goes, public opinion is to be feared, and if enough people talk, white can turn to black.

"They’re assassinating our character, Pennywise is literally assassinating our character!"

....

Director Wang had also called an emergency meeting.

Just now, he had received an urgent alert from the higher-ups.

It was the type of command that could make Director Wang, a special agent, and officials even higher in rank take action.

Only a handful of people...

Director Wang certainly believed in Jiang Xiao, as well as in Sun Wei and Xiao Bai, but...

The higher-ups always think like this, considering the worst-case scenarios as a precaution.

"Let’s talk, what do you all think about this?"

Some bigwigs exchanged looks, a young man hesitantly spoke up.

"If push comes to shove, should we detain Sun Wei and the others first? After all, this is no small matter..."

"That’s right, we can’t be careless about this, not just Sun Wei, I suggest we fortify Qingshan, and once Jiang Xiao emerges from Kaidan, we take him down too!"

Director Wang nodded expressionlessly, signaling that the others could share their thoughts.

Uh...

Another woman, with her hair in a high ponytail, stood up.

"I think Mr. Huang and Xiao Qi are right, regarding Jiang Xiao, we need to reconsider his existence and stance..."

Many people offered their opinions, some even more extreme than Mr. Huang’s.

This was no small matter, and nobody wanted such a huge risk lurking nearby!
