Chapter 179: Interested

It's so delicious.

Kagami widened his eyes, his gaze showing unimaginable surprise.

Kagami smiled satisfied after swallowing the last bite: 'Thank you, Xiao Xi.'

"I will give you the best bluefin fish as a gift," Kagami said excitedly.

"No, thank Jiang Xia," Rixia Bu Xi said, glancing at Jiang Xia.

"Search, the best bluefin fish, Kagami, and also Sal Restaurant."

"If you want to thank me and Xiao Xi, buy an extra-large pine-ring bluefin fish; this is currently the best bluefin fish for you to buy."

Jiang Xia, having received the answer, said to Kagami, who was beaming with a bright smile.

"That's right, it's top-notch, called the golden bluefin fish."

A sudden voice came from inside the restaurant; Kagami stood up puzzled, 'Tiandao?'

The Heavenly Dao Chief nodded at Jiang Xia; that was his way of greeting.

Tiandao was about to say something when Jiang Xia spoke first:

"The last portion has already been eaten by Kagami; there's none left."

"Is that so."

Tiandao pulled out a chair and sat in front of Kagami.

Although one stood and one sat, the aura of the seated Tiandao was far stronger than that of Kagami standing before him.

"You also give me one, Kagami, as compensation for you eating my miso bluefin fish."

"Why should I give it to you? I only give it to Xiao Xi." Kagami turned his head and whispered.

"But I don't know how Mr. Tashiro's search for the alien insects is going."

Kagami looked at the mop in his hand, his mood returning once again to last night; that feeling of helplessness facing the alien insects still left a trace in his heart.

Two years ago, the same thing happened before him, making him unable to hide a hateful gaze.

He gripped the mop tightly with both hands, as if treating the floor's trash as alien insects, and began to scrub quickly.

"One day I will wipe out all the alien insects."

"I see, you have a grudge against the alien insects."

Lost in his memories, Kagami suddenly straightened up.

"Tiandao, you haven't left yet."

"So this is why you joined ZECT."

Tiandao glanced; he already knew the information about the alien insects, he just wanted to eat breakfast now, but since there isn't any, he'll choose something else instead.

Tiandao withdrew his gaze, and suddenly saw that on the originally clean table, an additional breakfast of quite good appearance had appeared.

He followed the hand holding the plate upward and saw that it was Jiang Xia in a chef's uniform.

"This should be your favorite breakfast from the menu," Jiang Xia said.

"You?"

The Heavenly Dao Chief showed an expression of astonishment; he now felt as if he had been seen through.

It's not just a matter of habit; there must be something deeper inside.

"Hurry up and eat."

Jiang Xia walked back to the kitchen, cleaned it thoroughly; the white towel rubbed against the cold stone slab stove, and the stove was soon spotless.

Jiang Xia watched Kagami still vigorously mopping the floor, and couldn't help sighing; just how long does he have to clean here?

"Kagami, you're not needed here; go where you're truly needed."

Having put everything in the kitchen back in its place, Jiang Xia looked at Kagami still mopping and said:

"Why did you come back, and why are you cleaning here?"

Hearing Jiang Xia's words and seeing the expression in his eyes, Kagami seemed to understand something; he quickly tore off his apron and rushed out.

"You need someone to remind you before you'll take the next step." Jiang Xia said helplessly, watching Kagami's actions.

Kagami's essential work is not here; he is a warrior.

His goal is to kill the alien insects, not to waste time here.

Clearly there might still be an alien insect active outside, yet Kagami is mopping the floor here.

Clearly the antidote has already been taken, but guidance is still needed.

This restaurant can only be a place for recuperation and dispelling confusion; it is not a refuge to escape everything.

"Mr. Tashiro, I've come to support you," Kagami said to Tashiro Xiu Yi.

Tashiro Xiu Yi reassessed Kagami, his eyes firm.

That low spirits have completely vanished; did you figure it out so quickly?

"Good, you're responsible for investigating another one." Tashiro Xiu Yi said in a low, solemn tone, "Just in case, I'm giving you this."

"Thank you, Mr. Tashiro." Kagami received the pistol with both hands, slipped it into his waist, and said seriously.

"Yu Jing Xue, twenty years old, was arrested on suspicion of killing a police officer, but there is another Yu Jing Xue still on the run; one of them is an alien insect."

JiaYouYue, looking at the documents in her hand, voluntarily walked into the detention center.

Although the organization could forcibly take the suspect with its power, its name cannot be abused, so she chose to enter the detention center to observe.

The way to enter is simple: just deliberately get yourself detained, do something slightly out of line, then call the police.

Given what she's doing now, she'll likely be released after at most a few days.

"Just what kind of person is he?"

He's only been here a short while, yet he knows me and understands my daily routine and menu very well.

He's even read the complete Tiandao chronicles, and is so kind to Shuhua; what is his identity?

The current Heavenly Dao Chief has not yet obtained the Sea Pa Worm, lacks the tacit understanding he had arranged with his future self, and has no hints at all.

He has only just come into contact with such a creature as the Alien Insect, knows nothing of the truth, and hasn't even seen other Knights.

In his understanding, no one in this world could possibly evolve faster than him.

But the Heavenly Dao Chief now finds himself in a dilemma when trying to judge a person's specific identity.

Obviously, although the Heavenly Dao Chief is a max-level account, facing Jiang Xia, who possesses all of Earth's knowledge, wanting to surpass him still has a long way to go.

And Jiang Xia, he is merely recuperating; for his personal safety and to have a stable life near Shallow Valley in the future, he must begin cultivating the next generation to resist the Alien Insect.

The Heavenly Dao Chief doesn't need many words; just guide him to investigate himself, and Kagami is the one giving Jiang Xia a headache.

The Heavenly Dao Chief lay on the sofa, carefully recalling every contact he'd had with Jiang Xia; the more he recalled, the deeper his doubts grew.

If before he merely felt Jiang Xia was a formidable opponent, now he already doubts his very existence.

His past intuition and judgment seemed to lose their effectiveness when faced with the problem of Jiang Xia's identity.

Tiandao thought of many possibilities, but none were reliable.

Even the far-fetched possibility that Jiang Xia was another child adopted by his grandmother was considered, yet he still couldn't find the answer to the problem.

And when Tiandao recalled the feeling of being seen through, a sudden flash of insight crossed his mind: 'Could he possibly be able to read minds?'

"Impossible, how could humans possibly have such an ability?" the Heavenly Dao Chief instinctively objected to this idea.

He also possesses the ability to accurately guess others' thoughts, which is merely the use of cold reading.

Through microexpressions and body language, he can judge a person's thoughts as much as possible.

Moreover, its success rate is unusually high, but the Heavenly Dao Chief himself already knows this trick.

So when he uses this trick, he makes no extra movements that would reveal his true thoughts.

Except when he wants to display his brilliance like the sun.

However, his cold reading is still far from true mind reading.

"Interesting."

The Heavenly Dao Chief hasn't encountered such an interesting situation for a long time.
