Chapter 19: Look in the Mirror

Of the eighty-eight districts under the Federation, there were about seven or eight districts that Jiang Chen had personally visited.

More than half of them have carefully consulted the information, so it can be said that they have somewhat researched.

Because of the large-scale decentralization of the subordinate regions by the "Stellar Federation".

So much so that the governor of each district can forge almost everything in the district according to his own heart.

From the human environment to the architectural style, from the urban pattern to the transportation network.

Basically, there is a huge difference between regions due to the personal preferences of the governors.

Of course, Jiang Chen didn't hate this.

After all, because of the meteorite fall 500 years ago, after the cataclysm that destroyed most of the world.

Most of the civilizations of the nations have survived in this federation, which has led to extreme cultural complexity.

By dividing the districts into different districts, the governor in charge of the jurisdiction was allowed to plan according to his own cultural customs and personal preferences.

On the one hand, it can avoid too much homogeneity between regions, and on the other hand, it can better preserve the history of different civilizations.

Judging from the situation of many districts that Jiang Chen knows, the urban style of many areas is very distinct.

And with a lot of cultural traces of the old era, such as various styles of buildings, etc., it is like a habitable museum.

However, this is not the case in the 10th arrondissement where he came tonight.

In this tenth district, there is no sign of civilization, only a dazzling array of cold technology.

Towering buildings, flashing spotlights, crisscrossing viaducts, flying machines flying everywhere, billboards in mid-air......

It seems to have it all, but the most important thing is missing.

So much so that the whole city looks like a giant cold machine.

Even every inhabitant living in it is just a cog in the machine.

The "Tianmu Logistics Headquarters" that Jiang Chen is coming to now is one of the most dazzling pearls in this cold mechanical city.

A skyscraper towering over the heart of the city is like a needle inserted into the sky.

Along the red-carpeted hallway, Bastin walked behind an office on the top floor of the building.

Jiang Chen finally saw that woman, and saw that terrible woman.

When Jiang Chen followed Basten to the spacious office, he didn't pay attention to what the office looked like.

Because of his full concentration, he was immediately attracted to the woman standing by the bed.

The woman stood by the floor-to-ceiling window on the side of the office, overlooking the city from the height of the ninety-nine stories.

Judging from the expression on the side of her face, she was not arrogant, but she had a sense of superiority.

So much so that the posture overlooking the city is like controlling Her Majesty the Empress, who is controlling the death of thousands of people within a radius of hundreds of miles.

As for appearance...... To be honest, Jiang Chen really has no time to care about whether this woman's appearance is beautiful or not.

Because any man with eyes will be overwhelmed by the woman's unparalleled charm when he first meets, so that even his appearance and posture will be left behind.

Of course, a woman's appearance is also stunningly beautiful.

Especially at this time, the black and dense hair was pulled up high, and the red silk dress covered the tall and delicate body, which looked even more gorgeous.

This...... That's what it is...... That crazy woman? Is this Yonghime?

When I saw this woman who almost took her own life and ate both black and white at the headquarters of "Tianmu Logistics".

Jiang Chen seemed to have an illusion for a while, that is, whether he was thinking wrong.

Speaking of which, he'd never seen Yonghime, and he couldn't even find a photo of her face.

After all, this woman hardly appears in public, and she is extremely strict with her private information.

The background is unknown, the upbringing is unknown, and everything is hidden in the fog.

Even if you can find the few photos related to her, most of them are very vague vistas.

However, in Jiang Chen's impression, she should be as vicious as a snake.

It's the scary type that makes people want to run away at a glance.

After all, "Tianmu Logistics" is such an arrogant, such a bottomless, and such a murderous company.

How could it be that a woman who was in control of this company was so normal-looking, so beautiful, so elegant?

However, in fact, the real Yongji seems to be very different from Jiang Chen's previous imagination.

After seeing the arrival of the guests, the hostess of this place, Yongji, pursed her lips and smiled, and said to him with a smile:

"Please sit down, Mr. Jiang Chen, the first time we met was not well greeted, please don't mind."

Her voice sounded smart, clear, and soft, and the tone of her voice was so soothing.

An elegant, tasteful, and connotative woman.

If you just look at this woman sitting on the sofa opposite Jiang Chen, smiling reservedly at him, it is estimated that anyone will give such a statement.

By any angle, she doesn't look like the big boss behind a nefarious company at all.

Wait, I can't judge so easily, maybe this woman is in disguise?

In this case, Jiang Chen still stabilized his mind, controlled his mood fluctuations, and asked Yongji with a smile:

"Miss Yonghime, you sent someone all the way to me today to ask about yesterday's incident, right?"

"That's true." Yongji nodded, picked up the teapot on the table, and poured a cup of tea for herself and Jiang Chen.

Then he said: "The two escorts under my company died without a head or tail, and as a boss, I naturally have the responsibility to find out the truth, right?" ”

She sounded flawless and her tone was very sincere, and she really felt like a good boss who thinks about her employees.

The most important thing is to see according to the mental fluctuations observed in Jiang Chen's eyes.

Yongji's mental state has always been very stable, and there are no abnormal situations such as nervousness and vigilance.

Other words...... Is she telling the truth?

This came all the way to me to find out the cause of the death of those two escorts?

After thinking of this, Jiang Chen also breathed a sigh of relief, and then expounded the "facts" he saw early yesterday morning.

In the process of flying here, Jiang Chen had enough time to revise a "fact" that was very similar.

First of all, in yesterday's case, there are some things that can be said to Yonghime.

For example, Jiang Chen stared at the fat man and chased after him.

to being attacked by a steel pipe man, and finally being attacked by that woman or something.

But in the midst of all these real events, there are also some things that should not be said to Yonghime.

For example, the woman actually used a magic spell to kill the three people present.

And Jiang Chen came back from the dead that night after being killed.

True and false, false and true.

The highest level of lying is not to make up a lie to be true, but to add a lie to the truth.

In this regard, Jiang Chen is naturally also a good hand.

And in the process of listening, Yongji didn't say a word.

Just sipping tea while smiling and listening to how he told the ins and outs of the matter.

However, just after Jiang Chen knew how to escape the woman's pursuit by pretending to be dead.

After all the whole process of how the woman disappeared without a trace was finished, Yongji remained speechless for a long time.

A minute passed.

Three minutes passed.

Five minutes passed.

......

Jiang Chen had already stopped talking, but Yongji still looked at this man with that happy expression.

What's going on? Why didn't she say a word?

Just when Jiang Chen wondered if he hadn't made it up well enough, Yongji picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Said with a smile: "You know what? Actually, the two of us are very similar in some ways. ”

"Oh? Is it? In what ways are they similar? ”

"Of course, it is in the aspect of being able to talk nonsense without changing your face, and weaving lies without blushing or beating your heart, and creating an atmosphere that is favorable to you...... It's so similar, it's like looking in the mirror. ”

Although she said these words with a smile on the corner of her mouth, in the process of saying this, Yongji's eyes were not smiling at all.

No...... It's not just that you're not smiling.

The look in her eyes when she looked at Jiang Chen just now was completely different from the reserved and gentle feeling she had before.

In that instant, there was a drastic change of one hundred and eighty degrees.

Miraculously, as Yongji's eyes changed, the whole feeling she gave people changed.

From this moment on, the elegant, tasteful, and connotative woman just now disappeared in an instant.

And sitting opposite Jiang Chen, it seemed to have turned into a cruel, cold-blooded, ruthless, shuddering, and indescribable monster.
