Jiang Xiao stared intently at Xiao Qi; he could sense the seriousness of the situation.
Meanwhile, he had already quietly taken out the clown mask.
His own electromagnetic field might not be enough to kill her.
The simplest and most direct method is to drag her into the mental arena and force her to solo mentally.
"What's wrong with you?" Jiang Xiao's tone was somewhat cold.
Xiao Qi raised her head, her eyes filled with an indescribable sadness.
"That day, the train encountered something strange. It said it would take a life in exchange, or it would destroy the entire train."
"Dad wanted to sacrifice himself, but Mom wouldn't allow it, and in the end, it chose me..."
Jiang Xiao's heart sank; he could almost guess what was coming next.
"And then your parents chose to take your place?"
Xiao Qi nodded, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Yes, they said that as long as I survive, their deaths will not have been in vain. They let me live, to live stronger than anyone else, so that no more monsters can harm me."
Jiang Xiao sighed deeply. This girl's acting skills were truly superb.
"Xiao Qi, Tie Tie doesn't want to hear others lie."
"what?"
"What do you mean, 'Huh'? According to what you're saying, the supernatural only wants one person's life. Why would your parents trade their two lives for yours?"
"Because the cost of exchanging one person is different from the cost of letting the supernatural choose one person!"
Xiao Qi seemed to have already prepared an explanation.
"Alright, even if what you're saying is true, then why are your parents still fighting against the supernatural?"
"Because it told lies from beginning to end, it never wanted anyone's life. From the beginning, it had its sights set on my father because it saw that he was the strongest!"
Xiaoqi cried out, her desperate voice quickly drawing Naoko and the others back to her.
"Jiang Xiao! What are you doing? Why are you bullying Xiao Qi again!"
"what happened?"
"Young man, what are you up to now?"
Xiao Qi sniffled, trying to calm her voice.
"Actually, my father never took the conditions the strange creature mentioned to heart in the first place. So, even if the strange creature didn't choose me, he would still use his own life to entangle the other party."
In Xiaoqi's description.
Her father had already planned everything when he made his bizarre appearance.
Rather Stick to your guns!
Fang Tianyu understood these strange creatures; not a single word they said could be trusted.
Fang Tianyu had anticipated that the other party would choose Xiao Qi.
Only in this way could the strange creature threaten Fang Tianyu with the life of his daughter to force him to give up resistance and willingly face death.
His words were deeply moving, especially Xiao Qi's tearful appearance.
She expressed that she felt really helpless at the time and that there was nothing she could do.
He could only watch helplessly as his father died.
The overwhelming sense of brokenness emanating from Xiaoqi tugged at the hearts of Naiko and Reiko.
Even the seemingly fierce-looking co-driver looked sympathetic.
She's only five or six years old.
And she's also the biological daughter of my good friend Fang Tianyu.
"It's okay, Xiao Qi, don't cry. Brother Fang chose to sacrifice himself for everyone, he's a great hero. You're also a hero's daughter. If you keep crying, won't you be embarrassing your father? Be good, from now on, if you don't mind, I can be your father too."
"Waaah, Uncle, my dad isn't dead yet, is he? He'll come back someday, right?"
Chapter 498 Revealing the secret
Looking at Xiao Qi's hopeful eyes, how could anyone bear to tell her the fact that Fang Tianyu would never come back?
Perhaps Xiaoqi knew it in her heart, but she just didn't want to believe it.
"So that's why the weather's cleared up! Turns out you guys are the ones who've left me speechless!"
Jiang Xiao never expected that even though Xiao Qi was acting so strangely, these people would still pity her.
Just because she's pretty?
Well, perhaps that's part of the reason, or even more so, it's largely due to Xiao Qi's exceptionally high looks.
If you replaced her with a snotty-nosed, tearful brat.
I reckon Jiang Xiao wouldn't even need to lift a finger; the co-driver's big slit would already be up there.
Jiang Xiao's baseless slander once again prompted the "saintly trio" to stand up for the little girl.
However, Jiang Xiao's mouth is always the most flexible.
He fought against three opponents and held his own in a debate with a group of scholars.
"Why are you slandering Xiao Qi for no reason?" Nai Zi pulled Xiao Qi into her arms with heartache.
"The evidence is right in your face, you idiot, and you still can't see it! Big boobs mean little brains—that's truly a universal truth!"
"She has lost her parents, and you don't have parents either?" Lingzi retorted, pulling Xiaoqi into her arms.
"Huh? If that's the case, then I've never had a father or mother since I can remember, and I grew up all alone in a mental hospital full of perverts. Aren't I just as miserable as Xiao Qi?"
Ah this
Reiko rolled her eyes, speechless. She never expected that this pastry chef had such a tragic past.
However, the former director and the group of uncles and aunts who live in Qingshan Mental Hospital, who are adults, couldn't hold back their emotions while watching the live broadcast.
What does it mean to grow up alone in a mental hospital full of perverts?
Listen to this, is this even human language?
The old dean looked heartbroken.
Even though I'm quite old, I still play SpongeBob SquarePants cosplay games with him and Crayon Shin-chan battles against naked aliens.
As a result, in his heart, he felt that he had grown up alone and miserable.
"No matter what, Xiao Qi, why don't you explain why Nai Zi and the others haven't discovered you after all this time?"
em
This is indeed very strange.
However, because Xiao Qi's background was so pitiful, this issue was overlooked by everyone.
Xiao Qi was speechless, unsure how to explain.
Jiang Xiao pressed his advantage and continued speaking.
"You know, whether it's Reiko checking tickets or Naoko promoting her services, they both work from back to front, covering every passenger in each carriage. How did you manage to avoid them?"
Everyone fell into deep thought; clearly, this was a very unreasonable thing.
Such a big and beautiful little girl, she would be the most dazzling presence wherever she is, right?
It's somewhat understandable that the two women were blind and missed it once.
But Reiko has been working for more than five years, and she worked for more than half a year after the train was invaded by ghost stories.
It's impossible that Xiao Qi went unnoticed for such a long time.
"Speechless now, aren't you? I bet there's more to the story behind your parents' willingness to embrace the darkness, isn't there?"
"I"
Xiao Qi hesitated for a moment, then opened her mouth and spoke.
"That's because before my dad went to fight the supernatural, he used some tricks to make people ignore me. I don't know exactly how it happened."
This explanation is clearly somewhat far-fetched.
Naoko subtly pushed Xiaoqi into Reiko's arms before she could react.
It seems Jiang Xiao was right; this little girl is indeed acting strangely.
There's an old saying in the Dragon Kingdom: "A wise man does not stand under a crumbling wall." Since Lingzi wants a hug, then let Lingzi have one!
He noticed that some people didn't believe him.
Xiao Qi's eyes reddened again.
Crying is always her secret weapon as an adorable little girl.
But this time Jiang Xiao didn't give her a chance to play the victim or act pitiful; instead, he continued.
