In his previous life, Jiang Xia was actually a Spiritual Medium.
Of course, since this ability follows the soul, strictly speaking, after transmigrating, he was still a Spiritual Medium.
It was just that in this world, Jiang Xia couldn't find any ghosts, and his Spiritual Medium abilities were completely useless.
The last bit of power he had upon landing was used by Jiang Xia to treat this body's depression; the original owner had committed suicide.
While replenishing his new body's brain, Jiang Xia incidentally analyzed a portion of the memories left behind by Jiang Xia Tongzhi.
— Jiang Xia Tongzhi's parents were both members of the Organization.
A year ago, they bravely sacrificed themselves, both crushed into pancakes by an overturned heavy truck.
Upon hearing the devastating news, Jiang Xia Tongzhi rushed to the scene, only to witness the human remains being scooped into body bags shovel by shovel.
When Jiang Xia Tongzhi was young, he was raised by a somewhat strict nanny who instilled in him values of truth, goodness, and beauty. Although he received training from the Organization when he was a bit older, he completely disagreed with the Organization's bloody methods and gradually became depressed.
Now, suddenly encountering such an event, with his parents gone, Jiang Xia Tongzhi couldn't bear it alone, so he chose death.
...
After Jiang Xia transmigrated, he experienced life for a bit and didn't find it unbearable.
— In the car accident that caused Jiang Xia's parents' deaths, some people survived, and those few were very good to Jiang Xia.
Especially Miyano Shiho.
Miyano Shiho looked cold, but she was very meticulous. Over the past year, she had overtly and covertly helped Jiang Xia avoid some brutal missions, as if repaying a debt.
Jiang Xia's moral compass wasn't as noble and upright as Jiang Xia Tongzhi's, so he accepted the current situation well.
And there was another point.
— He craved the killing intent from Gin.
The power source of a Spiritual Medium mainly comes from the souls left behind after people die, as well as the strong negative emotions on people.
But after arriving in this world, Jiang Xia despairingly discovered — nothing, there was absolutely nothing.
Souls...
He had never encountered one.
Negative emotions...
There were so many blood-soaked, murderous ruthless people in the Organization, yet their bodies were completely clean, untainted by anything.
...If it weren't for occasionally seeing a bit of killing intent on Gin, Jiang Xia would have almost thought he had lost his ability to see spirits.
For a long time, Gin was his hope for activating his cheat ability.
Opportunities to see Gin were not many.
But Jiang Xia was now considered an peripheral member of the Organization, a useful tool who could be moved wherever needed, and because of his dark family background, he was more easily trusted than other members who joined halfway.
Therefore, the total number of times Jiang Xia saw Gin was still not small.
Moreover, in Jiang Xia's eyes, Gin was not scary.
...Because when he was a child, Jiang Xia had actually watched the anime Detective Conan.
Children watching anime are usually seen as not studying properly and being idle.
But Jiang Xia received special permission.
— When he was a child, he watched a few episodes of Conan, and after watching them, he was so cautious that he didn't dare to wash his face, fearing that if he closed his eyes, terrifying scenes would come true, and Little Black would jump out from the shadows with a sinister grin, smashing the skulls of innocent people.
When his master found out, he fell into deep thought — as a Spiritual Medium, to be afraid even of paper corpses, how preposterous!
Even a young Spiritual Medium shouldn't be like this!
So from then on, Jiang Xia had an additional activity: fighting fire with fire, watching whatever he was afraid of.
The rigorous master brought back a pile of high-definition discs and forced him to watch them.
At first, Jiang Xia was, of course, still afraid.
However, after two days, once he adapted, only happiness remained.
But Jiang Xia still self-taught the skill of "acting," trembling and struggling desperately when forced in front of the TV. This way, he could righteously watch anime while other children his age were studying diligently, and this wonderful life continued for several months...
Spiritual Mediums naturally have strong control over their thoughts.
Jiang Xia could remember every detail he had seen, recalling them as if the scene was replaying before his eyes.
Therefore, even an anime he had only watched once, he could remember very clearly.
This led to Jiang Xia's very complex feelings when he unexpectedly transmigrated and found that he had a neighbor named "Agasa" upon landing.
He really wanted to praise his master for his foresight... but Jiang Xia knew in his heart that this was just a coincidence, because Spiritual Mediums do not have "precognition" such a charlatan skill.
However, at this rate, he seemed to be able to possess it.
Though it would be by cheating.
...
Jiang Xia carried Miyano Shiho's wallet and walked to the street under the scorching sun, looking left and right.
Soon, he found a black Porsche in the shadow of the wall.
This was Gin's beloved car; he hadn't been willing to change it for many years.
He probably wasn't driving a car, but a sentiment.
Two people stood beside the car. It seemed there was also someone sitting inside, but it was hard to see through the black-tinted windows.
The two people outside were easy to recognize; they were both tall, dressed in black, and wore low-brimmed black fedoras.
One had silver hair down to his waist, and the other had a wide jaw and sunglasses. They were Gin and Vodka — the core villains who fought wits with the protagonist, admirable workaholics who dedicated themselves to the Organization.
