I, a Mental Patient, Was Chosen to Participate in AnalogHorror-Chapter 500 - 466: Saving Shi Shi!

"Analog Horror: Do you think this is child’s play? Where do you think I have so much empathy, rejection."

Jiang Xiao’s face flashed with a tinge of disappointment. He took a deep breath, trying to hide his emotions.

But those expectant eyes could hardly disguise the loneliness in his heart.

"One day then? Just one day would be fine, I can give you the Peach Wood Sword and the Project Item 16 Time Condensing Bell too!"

Analog Horror: ...

Kaidan had not expected Jiang Xiao, who usually made logical trades, to actually propose such a losing deal this time.

It should be noted that whether it was the Peach Wood Sword or the Time Condensing Bell, each could be used as a separate eerie device.

Together with them, after passing through a Kaidan, they could permanently pull Shi Shi out of Kaidan.

"Is that okay? Please, I’m begging you."

Jiang Xiao pleaded with Kaidan in an almost servile tone.

He didn’t know what was happening, but today, at this very moment,

he desperately wanted to take Shi Shi out to celebrate the New Year, regardless of the cost. Having her by his side for even just one day, just one day would be enough.

It could be that people from Dragon Country are innately defined by the idea of "reunion" during the Spring Festival.

Such a Jiang Xiao was also a first for Kaidan.

At this moment, a girl with twin ponytails was jumping up and down on a chair.

Puffing her cheeks, she looked at Jiang Xiao’s humble demeanor.

"What are you doing! That Kemonomimi girl isn’t that great, is she worth such humility?"

Thinking this, she straightened the small microphone on the table.

"Analog Horror: Why do you think I’m called Analog Horror? Because rules are rules, they do not change based on personal wishes."

"Analog Horror: Shi Shi is in Kaidan right now, and it’s not possible for her to come out easily. You could give me a hundred eerie devices and it would still be no use. You must pass a nine-star + Kaidan."

Seeing Jiang Xiao’s expression becoming sadder, her tone softened a bit.

"Analog Horror: But rest assured, Shi Shi is doing fairly well here."

Jiang Xiao fell silent for a moment. He knew Kaidan’s personality, that once a decision was made, it wouldn’t be changed easily.

But he still couldn’t help asking.

"How... How is she doing there? Can you tell me in detail? I feel very distressed."

"Analog Horror: Apart from not having parents and little friends, Shi Shi is doing quite well..."

Kaidan’s response revealed a unique emotion, as if amidst these ruthless rules, there was still a sliver of warmth.

A subtle feeling rose in Jiang Xiao’s heart.

He could sense that Shi Shi was a strong child, but he could not let go of his worries for her.

She was still so young, the one with the softest heart among the Trio, always disguising herself as the coldest and coolest.

And she liked to sneak off and cry...

"Analog Horror: Look at you, about to burst into tears? Shi Shi is not going to die! I’m watching over her for you, okay now?!"

Huh?

Jiang Xiao’s eyes brightened, this might be the limit of what Analog Horror could do while still ensuring that the rules were fair.

It seems that not leaving immediately after passing the Kaidan each time and spending time arguing and boasting with her was quite beneficial after all!

"Little Kaidan! I knew you loved me the most, we will always be the best of friends!"

Knowing that Kaidan promised to take care of Shi Shi, Jiang Xiao, greatly relieved, did not stay long and quickly left the space.

After he left, Kaidan’s cold and unemotional voice floated in the air.

"Wow, friend~ is it that you dare to dream too much, or that I’m too hopeful..."

...

At half past two, Jiang Xiao left the Kaidan right on time.

The afternoon sun filtered through the kitchen window, casting its light on Bai Yi and Mu Xitang, who were both covered in flour, smiling and looking rather comical with their flour-covered hands and faces.

Upon seeing Jiang Xiao, they both rushed over, floury hands and all, for hugs.

Bai Yi excitedly smeared more flour on Jiang Xiao while talking to him.

"Daddy, daddy! Xi Tang and I are going to be on TV tonight. We made a super cute blessing video!"

Mu Xitang was not to be outdone, her hands busy at work, but never pausing.

"Haha, I’m definitely going to look better than you tonight. I’ll let the audience know that I am the cutest one!"

Amidst their laughter and cheer, Sun Wei also stopped rolling out dough, her eyes revealing a glimmer of anticipation as she looked towards the kitchen door.

For her, the dumplings of the first day of the New Year symbolized reunion and warmth.

This was also their family’s first Spring Festival celebration together.

The dumplings, which should have been eaten in the morning, had been postponed until the afternoon.

Jiang Xiao did not disappoint her and successfully maneuvered through the Kaidan today.

Time seemed to stop in that moment, with steam filling the kitchen, the aromatic scent of the dumpling filling mingling with the fresh smell of flour, permeating every heart.

Yet amidst the joy, Sun Wei and the two little ones felt a tinge of silence.

They were meant to be reunited.

But it was just shy of being complete...

Sensing the slight melancholy in the air, Jiang Xiao laughed heartily, feigning nonchalance as he shared his conversation from the Kaidan with Sun Wei and others.

"Don’t worry, Shi Shi is doing very well now, absolutely no danger at all."

He paused, then promised with unwavering determination.

"No more waiting! I don’t want to wait another day. Next time I enter the Kaidan, I will definitely bring Shi Shi out!"

No one doubted his promise.

After all, his abilities were clear for all to see, and the main reason for his previous hesitations was not wanting to give the Kaidan any advantages.

He didn’t want to make a losing deal.

But now, Jiang Xiao had seen through it all; nothing the Kaidan took interest in was trash.

Don’t even think about deceiving the Kaidan with garbage devices.

It was just like antiques; it’s not the older items that are more valuable.

Nowadays, the valuable antiques were mostly from the official kilns, those used by the wealthy and noble, the ones associated with royalty and aristocracy.

The goods from common kilns, used by ordinary folk, even if preserved to modern times, weren’t worth much.

It was the same principle.

So, better sooner than later, next time he would exchange Shi Shi out!

Learning that the cold and heartless entity that was Kaidan actually agreed to take care of Shi Shi, Sun Wei felt her only concern temporarily resolved.

"Alright, alright, alright, Shi Shi is so smart. I’m sure she can take very good care of herself. Jiang Xiao! Stop standing there like a utility pole, come and help us make dumplings!"

"Okay, okay, I will. I’ll make them, happy now?"

While making dumplings, Bai Yi and Mu Xitang also exaggerated the slandering they faced online to Jiang Xiao.

Basically, they portrayed themselves as very pitiable, with no kids wanting to play with them and being isolated even when going to the supermarket.

They did this to seek some sympathy and comfort from their dad.

Jiang Xiao was about to explode with anger when Sun Wei mentioned the support they had received from the General’s compound and Director Wang.
