Even After My Death-Chapter 615 - 519: Descendant of Orochi: Jiang Ning

Chu Tiantian was an ordinary sophomore college student.

Her major was somewhat niche, with not many classes to attend. With only three or four class days in a week and minimal homework assigned by the teachers, her academic life was relatively relaxed.

When she wasn’t attending classes or working part-time, Chu Tiantian’s favorite thing to do was to lie in the dormitory playing with her phone, scrolling through short videos.

Today was no different.

She lay on her bed, fingers mechanically scrolling through her phone’s screen, her expression a mix of boredom and fatigue.

Sometimes, after watching too many short videos that seemed all too similar, she wasn’t as obsessed with TikTok as she used to be.

Until her fingers swiped to a particular video.

The screen displayed in white text on a black background: "Jiang Ning’s special enforcement rights"

Chu Tiantian was taken aback, her attention captured by the name Jiang Ning.

Her continuously scrolling finger paused for a brief moment.

The text faded away, replaced by the sound of music, and the visuals on the screen began to change.

—It was an exhilarating video compilation of Jiang Ning saving people and catching criminals!

It included both familiar clips that Chu Tiantian had seen before on TikTok of Jiang Ning saving people and catching criminals, as well as numerous unfamiliar segments she had never come across, but each frame featured Jiang Ning.

With slick editing and a strong rhythmic background music.

The combination of both sights and sounds had Chu Tiantian hooked, unable to peel her eyes away.

Just as the music built to a crescendo and the video began to slow down, changing to a darker tone, what appeared on the screen was the highly controversial clip from earlier that day, showing Jiang Ning pulling Liu Chusheng out from inside a car in a parking lot.

Chu Tiantian had come across this video earlier in the morning, and after learning about what Liu Chusheng had done, she fully supported Jiang Ning’s actions.

For men who couldn’t even control their lower halves, mere criminal detention and imprisonment couldn’t change their malicious nature—it was only by physical castration that such future dangers could be eradicated!

Jiang Ning’s decisive action felt satisfying to watch, no matter how many times she saw it!

Chu Tiantian had anticipated what would come next in the video after Jiang Ning had dragged Liu Chusheng down, but as she was waiting to relish the scene, the footage suddenly changed. The original surveillance video content turned into a ghostly silhouette, replaced by the sight of the bright red national flag that every citizen looked at with respect and affection. Below the flag was a shimmering badge icon.

Beneath the inscrutable badge icon that Chu Tiantian couldn’t understand, there was a line of regular script:

[Descendant of Hachikazuki, Jiang Ning.]

The video ended there.

What the hell???

Chu Tiantian was dumbfounded.

At this point, she couldn’t even remember why she had initially stopped to watch the video.

Chu Tiantian switched away from what had become a fullscreen viewing, curious to see who the uploader of the video was.

And then... Huh?

Capital City Police Station???

Capital City Police Station!!!

Chu Tiantian was shocked.

Had this really been released by the officials?

Skeptical, she clicked on the user’s profile picture, and indeed, there was a shining blue verified V below it, along with a whopping 36.8 million followers—no bogus account could possibly boast such numbers.

It truly was an official account.

Chu Tiantian belatedly realized, with hindsight, that this was the officials themselves stepping in to respond to the incident involving Jiang Ning using force!

Blame her ignorance, she thought, for not understanding the subtleties of the officials’ statements and for not grasping the meaning behind the video.

Chu Tiantian hastily clicked back into the video she had just watched, curious to go through the comments.

As expected, in less than ten minutes since its release, the video had already garnered several thousand likes, and the comments had also reached over a thousand.

In the comments section, many netizens were as confused as Chu Tiantian, completely clueless and curious about the purpose behind the official account posting this video:

[Ahhh! The officials have come forward to support Jiang Ning!]

[Haven’t watched it yet, just leaving an approving paw first.]

[The video editing is so lit! Unknowingly, it turns out that Jiang Jiang and Zhouzhou have caught so many criminals already. There are many segments in the video I’ve never scrolled through—are those previously unreleased?]

[Ah, I recognize Kuilong Park! There was almost a murder there last month. Fortunately, two other hikers intervened, saving the woman who was attacked by the thug. But I didn’t expect that it was Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou who came to the rescue.]

[I just finished watching, but some of it went over my head. Can a class rep explain this to me? What does this video mean?]

[Descendant of Hachikazuki? What’s that? Does anyone know?]

[Also curious.]

[I... I think I know... Our teacher briefly mentioned it during an elective course before.]

[!!!! Speak up, speak up!]

[It’s a local niche sect in our country, skilled in martial arts, with a history stretching back hundreds of years. When our nation faced danger and possible extinction, the young people from this sect left their mountain retreat en masse to save the country. The elderly who remained on the mountain and were less mobile even helped war refugees and wounded soldiers. After the country regained stability, the sect disappeared from public view, supposedly in seclusion, but in reality, because the batch of youth who had descended from the mountain never came back, this small sect all but ran out of successors.]

[That’s right. I had come across this in a history book before. I had all but forgotten it until I read what you wrote, and suddenly it came back to me. This sect may be small, but the people it produced were all formidable, skilled in martial arts, and of strong moral fiber. After the country regained stability, there were only two descendants left, and one of them died in a foreign land while intervening to right a wrong, leaving only a single survivor behind.]

[That’s correct. They later received certain privileges—under specific conditions, they could be granted priority in law enforcement.]

[To put it simply: Bad guys, your retribution is coming early!]

The conversation left the other netizens stunned.

[What what what??? Are you serious???]

[How could this be true? Is this really a thing?]

[If it weren’t for the official video, I would report you all right away.]

[Oh my goodness! Am I the only one who thinks this privilege is so cool?]
