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

b2's tone revealed an undisguised envy.

"I never expected that you just casually mentioned it, but this chosen one is actually so amazing. If he can really handle Pennywise, you will have done a great job."

At that time, not only will adjusting job level and authority be no problem, but even horizontal development to a research group will be no problem at all.

B2 was incredibly lucky. He originally thought the emergency team could handle Pennywise, so he couldn't help but go over and say a few sarcastic remarks to Jiang Xiao.

Unexpectedly, the organization also assigned Du Lala and Jiang Xiao to complete this mission together.

"Mr. Fang!"

B2 perked up and quickly went to greet the old man who was waiting for him.

Du Lala followed closely behind, which shows that this old man held a high position in the research institute.

"Alright, alright, you two don't need to stand on ceremony with me. I'm here today mainly to see this chosen one. Indeed, a hero emerges from among the young!"

While exchanging pleasantries, the old man invited Jiang Xiao and Du Lala into the conference room.

Uh, B2, who was stopped outside, looked embarrassed and helpless. It seems the organization really is going to focus on cultivating Du Lala.

As for his b2.

He was transferred to handle tasks together simply because his temporary rank was higher than Du Lala's.

"It doesn't matter. I won't be able to eat meat and drink soup on this mission, but even sucking on a couple of bones will help me get promoted."

Du Lala was somewhat flattered at this moment.

A big shot you might not see for months or even a year and a half normally is now smiling and trying to establish a relationship with you.

She was unaware of the information about Jiang Xiao that Wang Tiantian and Liu Dengyun had sent back to the research institute, and naturally, she was also unaware of the terrifying extent of Jiang Xiao's spirituality.

Regarding how to quickly build a closer relationship with this chosen one, the research institute has already made a decision: it will rely on Du Lala to facilitate it.

According to what Du Lala said before, she and Jiang Xiao had a very "close" relationship when they were at Wuliang Hospital.

Despite the many people's overtures, Jiang Xiao remained unmoved and instead urged them on.

"Alright, you old men, just say what you have to say, don't waste everyone's time."

this.

How come this kid doesn't understand any social etiquette?

"cough."

The leader sitting at the head of the table coughed and began to speak.

"Comrade Jiang Xiao, we are aware of your contact with Pennywise and what happened. I'm sure you're quite confused right now, aren't you?"

"Yes, for now, I might forget that he is Pennywise when I meet him."

It might be a little hard to understand, but in short, after seeing Pennywise, Jiang Xiao lost his will to kill and forgot that the clown in front of him was his mission target.

It's like wanting to go fishing, having prepared top-notch fishing rods, lines, and bait, but then throwing the fishing rod into a tree instead.

"Yes, that's right, it's a pain point, so have you considered wearing Project 135?"

"What? No way!"

Upon hearing this, Du Lala immediately stood up, but was quickly pulled back down by the old man beside her.

Let me use project 135.

Jiang Xiao glanced at the old man, his expression somewhat cold.

He had seen the research information about Project 135.

The instructions clearly state that wearing this device can cause irreversible damage to the human body.

That very night, the members of the emergency response team were already prepared to sacrifice themselves, so of course they didn't care about the harm that Project 123 might cause to the human body.

But why should Jiang Xiao risk his life for the people of this world?

"Don't want to?"

Do you think you'd be willing to do that?

Jiang Xiao raised an eyebrow: "Fine, I'll let you off the hook. I'm in a good mood today, so I don't want to curse you."

"Just put it on when it's crucial. Think about it, this is a deal. Only by dealing with Pennywise can you get the three artifacts. Our reward is so high, so this mission is inherently risky."

The implication is that if you want what we have, you should be prepared to make some sacrifices.

Three mysterious artifacts!

Even large and well-established research institutes feel a pang of financial pain just thinking about it.

"You have so many projects, do you really only have the 135 that can compete with Pennywise?"

“Other items are also available, but they may not be as effective against Pennywise because His existence is quite unique. First, you have to see Him, then you have to ignore the illusion, and most importantly, you can’t have any feelings of fear.”

Jiang Xiao had a toothache; he really couldn't ignore the illusion, otherwise he wouldn't have let that clown escape.

Chapter 459 Project 88

"I have a suggestion: why not consider letting Jiang Xiao try using Project 88?"

Everyone in the meeting room turned to her, including Jiang Xiao.

Project 88 is not as infamous as Project 135, but its existence is still somewhat controversial.

"Project 88?"

The leader frowned, seemingly recalling the specifics of the project.

"Yes, Project 88."

Du Lala nodded in confirmation, then looked at Jiang Xiao with a hint of apology in her eyes.

"Project 88's main function is hypnosis. We can use it to strengthen your consciousness so that you won't forget Pennywise's true identity when you face him."

Jiang Xiao frowned. He had a natural aversion to such invasive projects, but he also knew that his current state was clearly not enough to win over Pennywise.

"Hypnosis?" He hesitated for a moment. "Are there any side effects?"

"Yes, but it doesn't cause direct harm to the body like 135."

Du Lala explained, "The main side effects are temporary memory confusion and possible mood swings."

Jiang Xiao fell silent.

He knew that every project had its advantages and disadvantages, and what he needed to do was to maximize the advantages of these projects while controlling their disadvantages.

“I need to think about it,” Jiang Xiao finally said.

"Of course, we will give you time." The leader nodded and said to Du Lala, "You take Jiang Xiao to the laboratory of Project 88 to prepare first. I will have the expert team with you."

Du Lala accepted the order and left the conference room with Jiang Xiao.

On his way to the lab, Jiang Xiao pondered the possibilities of Project 88.

He knew this could be the key to dealing with Pennywise, but it was also an unknown danger.

Upon arriving at the laboratory, they were greeted by a group of researchers in white coats, their eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation.

"Jiang Xiao, we are ready."

A middle-aged researcher stepped forward, his tone both serious and excited.

"Trust us, Project 88 will be your weapon, but before that, we need to conduct a series of tests to ensure that you can withstand the hypnosis process."

Jiang Xiao nodded; he knew this was a necessary procedure.

He took a deep breath, preparing to face the challenge ahead.

I'm not worried about the people at the research institute having any ill intentions towards me, mainly because we both share a common goal: Pennywise.

However, before that, Jiang Xiao still needs to determine exactly how the other party intends to hypnotize him.

Du Lala handed over a document.
