A mysterious realm descends, and I defy fate in comics.

Chapter 113 Suffering is not something to be compared.

Two people.

Jiang Xingni quickly began his analysis in his mind.

If Zhao Henshan were on my side, the situation could be transformed into three against one.

But that's not very realistic.

Jiang Xingni thought to himself.

She could roughly imagine how the plot of the comic would unfold. Since Zhao Henshan was already here, it was impossible for Ji Shanqing to pick her away and leave her alone with Ji Shanqing in a separate instance.

It's easy to imagine what would happen if the instance were really split up like this.

Putting aside how real-world readers might react, can the storyline outside the manga really limit the development of the story within the manga?

Jiang Xingni did not think so.

Speaking specifically about her, if the so-called plot can really define a person's development, then the person who should die here is Jiang Xingni herself.

The screenwriter can certainly manipulate the plot with his pen, but even if Zhao Henshan and Xiao Jiming are paired together, there is no possibility that the two of them will fight.

Jiang Xingni was quite certain that Zhao Henshan would come looking for her first.

It wasn't because she actually believed the fan-made pairings on the forum—although Jiang Xingni thought that her current line, "Who told you to touch my favorite toy?" would definitely be loved by many fans of the pairings on the forum.

But Jiang Xingni stopped thinking about it. Out of sight, out of mind. As long as she didn't look, it didn't exist.

The main reason is that the strange creature that gave birth to them is on Ji Shanqing.

If Jiang Xingni and Ji Shanqing were together, she would definitely take away that strange object and then use it to deal with Zhao Henshan.

For his own protection, Zhao Henshan would not allow Jiang Xingni and Ji Shanqing to be together.

Jiang Xingni narrowed her eyes. Zhao Henshan's head was pressed against her shoulder. The cold aura of the corpse made Jiang Xingni's shoulder ache, as if her entire shoulder was frozen.

She suddenly became unable to move.

it's a pity.

Jiang Xingni thought with some regret that she had originally wanted to take the opportunity to steal the strange object and use it to deal with Zhao Henshan.

As a result, Zhao Henshan is now holding her tightly, and Jiang Xingni has no chance to break free, nor can she break free at all.

"Okay." Ji Shanqing tilted her head.

Her gaze fell on Jiang Xingni, and then she took a step back.

Despite harboring a thousand resentments and ten thousand hatreds towards Zhao Henshan, Ji Shanqing still did not show anything amiss in front of him.

She simply stepped back, expressing to Zhao Henshan that she had no intention of overstepping her bounds.

"I understand your toy. I won't cross that line, Zhao Henshan."

The gazes of the two dead girls met once again.

Zhao Henshan didn't say anything; she simply tightened her grip on Jiang Xingni's waist.

Then, without hesitation, he took Jiang Xingni and disappeared into the corridor on the third floor.

Xiao Jiming's pupils contracted, and he subconsciously went to the place where Jiang Xingni had disappeared.

The sound of energy piercing through the air and attacking Xiao Jiming reached his ears. He didn't even dodge. He casually opened the card book he carried with him, randomly drew a card, and threw it out.

The card exploded in the air, turning into a paper figure—one that Jiang Xingni would definitely recognize if he were here.

The paper figure took the hit for Xiao Jiming, then spontaneously combusted, transformed back into a card, and flew back into Xiao Jiming's booklet.

Xiao Jiming didn't have high hopes for the paper figure's offensive capabilities; he simply pulled it out to buy himself some time.

Before Jiang Xingni disappeared, he saw the gesture Jiang Xingni pointed at him.

The chest area.

Left side, heart?

Xiao Jiming briefly checked the spot where Jiang Xingni had disappeared, making sure she hadn't left any other clues that he hadn't found, before turning around.

He faced Ji Shanqing, who was floating in mid-air, and his gaze fell on Ji Shanqing's chest, the spot Jiang Xingni had pointed out.

The strange object was on her chest—I saw it.

Xiao Jiming immediately spotted the brooch on the school uniform's chest, which was closest to his heart.

It's red, with the school emblem on it, and a small line of text below that reads: "City-Awarded Outstanding Student".

Then, Xiao Jiming tilted his head and unfolded his card album.

"Which card should I choose?" The black-haired, black-eyed boy narrowed his eyes and gave a light, emotionless laugh.

*

Only when Jiang Xingni automatically shut down her Eye of Truth did she peek through the black shadows and see clearly what this strange creature was.

—A badge of a model student that looks very well preserved, from who knows how many years ago.

Ji Shanqing cherished it and placed it close to her chest, even though she was now dead and had no future to speak of.

Before she could even examine the badge's details, Zhao Henshan had already taken her to a space that belonged to him, a space she had visited once before.

But this time, neither Su Yanzhi nor Song Juexiao could take her away from here.

"Stars." She smiled, her eyes crinkling. "Now, it's just the two of us."

"Great, even if you die, you should become my subordinate."

Jiang Xingni laughed as well.

Her voice was soft: "I'm sorry, but to be precise, I'm all alone here. I don't have any intention of dying, Zhao Henshan."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xingni made a clenching motion with his fingertips, and a dagger appeared out of thin air.

Also composed of shadows, devoid of any light, they were connected in wisps to the shadows on Zhao Henshan's body.

The person fighting Xiao Jiming was Ji Shanqing, and the strange object was also with Ji Shanqing.

This time, the dungeon boss is most likely Ji Shanqing rather than Zhao Henshan, which means that Jiang Xingni is fully capable of dealing with it on his own, and will not be killed by the plot for stealing Xiao Jiming's thunder.

system:?

System: [Wait.]

Where did you get this knife?!

The system was shocked. At least the source of the knife last time could be considered reasonable and well-documented, although the system did not know exactly when Jiang Xingni stole the dagger.

But this dagger makes absolutely no sense!

"How did you conjure a dagger out of thin air?" the system exclaimed. "How come I didn't know your abilities included this?"

Jiang Xing raised her lips and innocently twirled her knife.

"It wasn't made up out of thin air."

To be precise, the inspiration also came from the eye of reality.

If she can see the trajectory of these energy flows, then why can't she control these energies?

So Jiang Xingni used the shadow of Zhao Henshan to create this dagger.

—The moment Zhao Henshan saw the dagger and sensed its power, his expression changed.

She pursed her lips, her expression one of disappointment and grievance.

"So you wanted to kill me too?" Zhao Henshan asked softly. "Did Ji Shanqing suffer more than I did? Is that why you're all on her side?"

Jiang Xingni wanted to refute the first sentence.

What are you complaining about? Didn't Zhao Henshan want to kill her?

But upon hearing the second sentence, Jiang Xingni suddenly fell silent.

No one ever told Zhao Henshan this.

Suffering is not something to be compared.
