Chapter 21 Confession
In the ward, An Jing stared out the window for a while in a daze.

The system asked: "Have you made your decision?"

"Ah."

Less than half an hour later, He Lin pushed open the door and entered, followed only by a young recorder. She didn't bring many people with her, because after a brief conversation with An Jing, she knew that An Jing preferred quiet.

The ward remained quiet, without any sense of oppression despite the arrival of two people.

An Jing sat on the edge of the bed, her eyes calm, looking completely different from before.

"Are you ready?" He Lin's tone was still gentle, but it lacked the probing and was more solemn.

An Jing nodded, his voice low and hoarse: "Ready."

She got straight to the point and said her first sentence: "Just as you guessed, 001, 014, and 012 died trying to save me."

He Lin's brows furrowed, and her gaze became even more serious.

The recorder quickly turned on the terminal and began recording.

“I’ve never been inside the Mysterious Magnetic Field, nor have I ever seen a Mysterious Magnetic Field,” An Jing continued. “But… I usually enjoy this kind of information, the kind that isn’t widely available online. I’ll download it and back it up locally. Things like timelines of Mysterious Magnetic Field appearances, intensity ratings, magnetic field anomalies… most people can’t understand them, but I can.”

"So the moment the Mystery was generated, I reacted quickly enough to run away and find a safe house, and I hid there. But my other classmates almost instantly became the Mystery's meal. I held out in the safe house until 001 and the others arrived."

He Lin nodded without saying anything, simply indicating that she should continue.

“It’s a pity…” An Jing took a breath. “No one knows that there is actually a special high-level mysterious creature in that villa. It can control souls and make the dead appear in front of you completely again, without you even noticing anything wrong.”

The recorder paused, his finger trembled, and he almost made a mistake.

"It became my teacher, Li En, but it wasn't the original person; it was something that resided in his body. It killed 013 and 016, put their skins on its body, and made them wander around the villa, trying to deceive 001 and the others."

Her voice wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear.

“001 sensed something was wrong. His judgment… is truly remarkable. He knew there was a problem almost immediately after the slightest probing, and led us to evacuate outside the villa right away.”

"Later, the mysterious forces couldn't hold back any longer and launched an attack on us."

"The three of them were fighting against the mysterious, when 001 pulled out a bomb."

She paused.

"This bomb should also have aftereffects on the user. 014 snatched it from 001 and quickly placed the item on the Mysterious Beast. He used a one-for-one exchange method to drag the Mysterious Beast into the water."

He Lin's eyebrows twitched slightly.

Then, An Jing fell silent.

He Lin nodded and told her her question.

"I have a few questions."

"Please say."

Anjingtou.

"1. If that mysterious creature could easily kill 013 and 016, why would it go to such lengths to deceive you?"
2. Even if there was a bomb, and 014 died in place of 001, then how did 001 and 012 die?

3. According to you, this mysterious entity is very cautious, so how could it have been so easily approached by 014?

He Lin knew exactly which bomb prop it was.

An Jing smiled, knowing in her heart that she still couldn't hide it from him.

If the system had a physical form, everyone would roll their eyes.

Are you sure it wasn't you who turned the tables?
"That's right, because the Mysterious One was looking for something, and that thing is what you want too. That thing is on someone, and the Mysterious One was afraid of accidentally killing someone, so they went to great lengths. After 014 planted the bomb, the Mysterious One was forced into a corner and chose to self-destruct. It was 001 who used a gadget to save me, but he and 012 both died. And the third question... naturally, is what was attracting the Mysterious One's attention at the time."

"In the end, that mysterious creature didn't die; I was the one who killed it."

As soon as she finished speaking, she slowly pulled something out from under the hospital bed and handed it to He Lin.

He Lin took it, flipped it open, and saw that it was a card.

Three gold stars indicate rarity, and the card surface glows with a deep purple sheen.

[Soul Controller]. She could sense that this thing was unusual, and her expression immediately darkened: "What is this?"

An Jing said calmly, "Kill 001 and their secrets."

The recorder gasped and nearly dropped the terminal.

He Lin didn't immediately press for details. She stared intently at the card for a few seconds before looking up and saying, "Chu Yuan is with you!"

An Jing nodded, her voice calm to the point of being numb: "Yes, so do you know why they risked their lives to keep me alive?"

He Lin showed no surprise, as if she had already guessed it.

There was a brief silence in the room.

He Lin let out a breath.

"I understand. Thank you for being willing to tell me, An Jing."

She finally understood her concerns.

Nobody wants to go through this at eighteen.

She looked at the recorder: "File this card and all the records. When reporting, put her name on the confidential document."

"Her name is An Jing."

The recorder responded and nervously put the Soul Controller card into a special file box.

An Jing watched their actions calmly: "This is what I owe them."

"And then?" He Lin asked. "Are you willing to accept our further protection and monitoring?"

An Jing looked at her for a long time before saying, "It's up to you. I was prepared to say it. I may not even know whether I will live or die in the end."

He Lin thought for a moment, and finally said, "I promise you, I will definitely not let anything happen to you, believe me."

“But you have to promise me,” she paused, then slowly said, “that if the primordial energy within you becomes uncontrollable, you will contact me immediately.”

An Jing pursed her lips: "Okay."

She suddenly added, "My family... please keep this from us."

He Lin's eyes softened immediately: "I understand. Don't worry."

As He Lin stepped out of the ward, she let out a long sigh of relief.

"What do you think of her?" the recorder asked in a low voice.

“Uncontrollable,” He Lin replied calmly. “It must be protected at every level. The Origin is of extraordinary significance to us.”

She paused for a few seconds, then whispered, "I will personally oversee her surveillance file. Any related investigations will bypass the 404 bus."

The recorder was startled: "You mean, her identity needs to be kept secret?"

He Lin nodded calmly: "I will protect what 001 risked his life to save."

“You don’t understand what Chuyuan means to us. I’m going to find Director Cheng and have someone guard the hospital well.”

"it is good!"

When Director Cheng received the message, he almost jumped up.

"The Origin has really been found?! No wonder, no wonder!"

The old man was so excited that he felt like he was young again, as if he could already see the light of the future.

"Yes, but I want to protect An Jing."

He Lin said coldly.

The 404 Special Service is now rife with complex and intertwined power dynamics.

Once others find out, extreme reactions are bound to occur.
