Chapter 104, Why You?
"A judge? Why you?"
Jiang Fei paced anxiously back and forth in the living room. The cat and dog lying on the sofa followed her every move, making her dizzy.
Cheng Chen sat in the middle of the sofa, clasped his hands together, and shook his head solemnly: "I don't know."
"Regardless of when Han Sisi got involved with Xianmeng Group, logically speaking, there is no reason for you to be a judge in any way."
Jiang Fei scratched her hair in frustration, cursing in a frantic tone, "What kind of bullshit is this?"
Han Sisi is Guwu's real name.
Now, it's estimated that only Jiang Fei in Yincheng would still call her that.
"This whole thing is full of problems from beginning to end," Cheng Chen analyzed thoughtfully. "The Fairy Demoness said she wanted to take on a disciple... Why does she want to take on a disciple? Why does she want to take on a disciple? Why now?"
Jiang Fei plopped back down next to Cheng Chen, sneering, "You say you're taking on disciples, but whether you really mean it is another matter. Maybe it's just an excuse, and there's some conspiracy behind it all."
"Um."
Cheng Chen nodded slightly. "So, our primary concern is figuring out exactly what happened?"
There must be some kind of motivation behind the fairy demon princess's unusual decision.
It couldn't be that she's getting old and wants to retire, so she suddenly decided to find a successor.
Jiang Fei didn't reply, but simply turned her head and stared at him quietly.
Normally, when Cheng Chen said, "We need to find out," she would nod and say reliably, "I'll try to find out." But today, she didn't. Her beautiful eyes clearly conveyed only one meaning: "Where am I supposed to find out?"
Cheng Chen understood her gaze and touched his head.
Indeed, the Fairy Demoness is on a completely different level from them; they simply don't have the channels or connections to investigate her.
"never mind."
After staring at each other for a while, Jiang Fei sighed, "Tell me in detail what kind of person the Fairy Demoness is?"
"You haven't seen her before?"
"No, she didn't mention seeing me either." Jiang Fei shook her head. "I only know about her from hearsay."
Cheng Chen leaned back on the sofa, racking his brains for a long time before finally managing to come up with a precise description:
"She's not like a human being."
"Doesn't look human?"
Jiang Fei was surprised, sat up straight, and gestured for him to start talking.
"The premise is that what I saw today was indeed the Fairy Demoness herself, or rather, a part of her."
Cheng Chen pondered, "People have desires, inclinations, and purposes... For example, when someone invites me to a dinner party, a normal person would want to use the dinner party to get to know me and understand what kind of person I am, so as to make subsequent decisions about me. Communication is the foundation for avoiding misjudgment. Whether it is an enemy or an ally, only by understanding can we formulate plans about the other party, whether to cooperate, divide, threaten, or sever ties."
"But the fairy demon is different. She invited me only to carry out her orders, and doesn't care about the follow-up."
Jiang Fei leaned forward, nodding eagerly: "What are the instructions?"
"Confirm if this is the person she's looking for."
Cheng Chen turned her head and looked at Jiang Fei. "No need to chat, no need to contact her. It's as if she can immediately understand the result just by seeing me. It's like a program screening, simply judging whether I have a certain trait that she is looking for."
"After obtaining the result, her task was completed, that instruction ended, and she immediately began executing the next instruction, inviting me to dinner. Throughout the entire process, there was no connection between the preceding and following instructions; it was as if they were completely disconnected."
People are interconnected.
One invitation can accomplish many things and achieve many objectives in sequence.
However, there should be clear connections and progressions.
But the fairy and the demon princess did not, which is what Cheng Chen referred to as 'executing the command'.
"Um……"
Jiang Fei pondered deeply. "So, something you did before made her think you might be the person she's looking for. And this thing should have obvious, easily identifiable characteristics. What do you think it could be?"
Cheng Chen sat still, without making any move.
The only thing he could think of was that he had released the girls who had inherited the heroes' weapons.
The fairy demon said that she knew the creator of this "miracle" and believed that Cheng Chen was the reincarnation of this person.
"...reincarnation."
The word came out of his mouth.
Jiang Fei was stunned for a moment: "What?"
"The fairy and the demon are searching for a reincarnation." Cheng Chen repeated.
Moreover, she can easily tell whether a person is a reincarnation.
"Reincarnation?"
Jiang Fei's face twitched. "No... are you kidding? Although magic exists in this world, is reincarnation really possible?"
Cheng Chen shrugged, also curious.
Perhaps for powerful beings like fairies and demonesses who have truly reached a higher level, the nature and form of magic are entirely different.
"it is good."
Jiang Fei clapped her hands. "Besides this, is there anything else?"
"I asked her if she had lived for a very long time."
Cheng Chen continued to ponder, "She answered a whole bunch of things like the Moon Palace and the Yu Maiden... She's still livestreaming, livestreaming herself dancing for a group of ordinary people... Think about it, she's lived for thousands of years, always a dancer, dancing for others. Now she's become a demon princess, with 'ball parties' and the Immortal Dream Group, and she still has to dance for others. This kind of thing is actually very strange, you know?"
"curse?"
Jiang Fei blurted it out.
Curses in the magical world can easily accomplish similar things.
For example, the sleeping princess needs a true love's kiss to be awakened, which is actually a curse. [Sleeping] is the effect of the curse, and [a true love's kiss] is the condition for breaking the curse.
Analogous to the fairy demon, [making people dance] is a curse effect, and her need to find [a reincarnated person] is the condition for breaking the curse.
Cheng Chen looked at her quietly with a disdainful gaze, as if she were looking at a desperate illiterate person.
Jiang Fei froze, then chuckled awkwardly, "Wh...what's wrong?"
"Feifei, you really need to brush up on the basics of magic." Cheng Chen shook his head. "Anyway, that's impossible."
Once you reach the threshold of the sixth level and possess [Miracle], your mind can sink into the mental image of [Miracle] at any time and be protected by [Miracle].
In this situation, no curse can take effect; this is determined by the very nature of the magic form that is the "curse."
"Oh well……"
Jiang Fei scratched her head and changed the subject, "We've tentatively figured out the first thing: the Fairy Demoness is looking for a reincarnated person, and she invited you to determine if you're the one she's looking for... So what about the judges? Why do they want you to be a judge?"
"Since she herself wants to take on disciples, shouldn't she be the one to judge their abilities? At the very least, she should be someone within the Xianmeng Group. What does it have to do with you? You're not even from their company!"
"I have no idea."
Cheng Chen frankly shook his head.
This is why he said at the beginning that this matter was problematic from beginning to end.
"...Guwu should know something," Cheng Chen pondered.
Jiang Fei suddenly became alert: "You're not thinking of going to talk to her, are you?"
"She might be waiting for me to take the initiative to reach out to her."
Cheng Chen suddenly remembered the invitation that Gu Wu had extended before the start of the banquet.
At that time, she was confident, as if she was certain that she had the ability to persuade him.
"Let's discuss this further."
Jiang Fei remained noncommittal and did not agree.
