Chapter 122 Is it her?
When Jiang Xingni heard the line "Take me home," her first reaction was that the screenwriter was actually quite kind.
After all, if Jiang Xingni had written this script, she would have made sure that Ji Shanqing's house was completely destroyed without her even knowing it.
—Maybe she destroyed her own home.
At least for now, Ji Shanqing still has a home to return to, although she may not be able to go back.
Grandma Ji's pleading gaze was fixed on Jiang Xingni.
She had just been looking at Song Juexiao, but when she realized that Song Juexiao's gaze was also on Jiang Xingni, she looked directly at Jiang Xingni.
"You can't see it," Jiang Xingni said softly.
The black mist, controlled by Xiao Jiming, was still struggling, but its direction had shifted to Grandma Ji's location.
It's not because of the insurmountable gap between ordinary people and those with superpowers; more accurately, it's because Ji Shanqing's current abilities are simply insufficient to support her appearing before everyone in human form once again.
"take me Home."
She kept repeating that sentence over and over again.
It was as if they realized that this pronunciation would allow others to understand what they were saying.
"Besides, she wouldn't want you to see her." Jiang Xingni knelt down and helped the old woman up. "Grandma, I'm sorry."
She remembered that Ji Shanqing chose to run away to avoid being seen by Grandma Ji in this state.
Jiang Xingni will respect Ji Shanqing's ideas.
"But I will make you remember what your granddaughter's name is. I will give her a grave so that your whole family can remember her. You don't have dementia; you just love her too much."
She reached out and gently wiped away the tears on Grandma Ji's face.
Jiang Xingni said firmly and calmly, "You also have the right to know the truth."
Grandma Ji finally calmed down and hugged Jiang Xingni's arm.
Jiang Xingni then realized just how light the old man was. To be honest, Jiang Xingni wasn't exactly weak; after all, he was someone who could lift Pei Zhaoye with one hand.
But Grandma Ji was especially agile.
Are all elderly people this age like this? Or is it just Grandma Ji? Jiang Xingni didn't know.
"So, what are you planning to do?" Xiao Jiming asked Jiang Xingni from the other side.
Jiang Xingni's gaze was fixed on Ji Shanqing, and she tentatively reached out to touch the black mist.
—Before the outstretched hand could even fully touch the black mist, the drooping sleeves were already stained with the black mist.
Then, even though those present still couldn't see Ji Shanqing's figure clearly.
But they could clearly hear the sizzling sound of the fabric corroding.
In the blink of an eye, a layer of the fabric was corroded away.
"Still the same," Jiang Xingni said softly.
She really wanted the two of them, grandmother and grandson, to be able to hug each other.
However, Ji Shanqing will not hide her abilities. After hugging her grandmother, she guesses that her grandmother will no longer have to travel up and down the mountain and back and forth between the city every day.
Grandma Ji can go and keep her company now.
Before the corrosion could reach Jiang Xingni's wrist, Jiang Xingni took the initiative and loosened his outstretched fingertips.
Then, Jiang Xingni's gaze fell on Ji Shanqing's chest, where there should have been a badge, but it was blank; the badge had disappeared at some point.
The free-floating energy no longer gathers into Ji Shanqing's body.
Instead, it disperses in the air and then rushes off in a new direction.
Zhao Henshan is dead.
Ji Shanqing also became one of those not chosen by it.
Who will be the next unlucky one she chooses and takes a liking to?
The question lingered in Jiang Xingni's mind for only a second before she reached a conclusion.
Who else could it be?
Of course it's Xu Niannian.
"Xiaoxiao," Jiang Xingnian called out to Song Juexiao. "Could you keep an eye on Ji Shanqing for me?"
Since the badge has disappeared, Ji Shanqing is now in a completely passive position.
Song Juexiao's abilities were perfectly suited for direct guarding and restraint, so she had no worries about entrusting Ji Shanqing to him.
Rather, if the task had to be assigned to someone, Song Juexiao would be the best choice.
If it were Su Yanzhi, Jiang Xingni would genuinely worry that his mouth might cause any unnecessary injuries or damage.
If Xiao Jiming stayed behind—of course the protagonist wouldn't abandon the main quest and stay here!
Even if he himself wanted to stay, there would only be two possibilities: either some uncontrollable force would arise that would force Xiao Jiming to go and investigate, or he would be abandoned on the other side.
At this point, Xu Niannian still had a chance to be saved, but with Jiang Xingni not leaving, there was only one possible outcome.
Xu Niannian became the new boss in this instance, and was killed amidst Jiang Xingni's cries. The incident was successfully resolved, and the main characters survived.
But this is not the ending Jiang Xingni wanted.
Hearing Jiang Xingni's words, Song Juexiao nodded.
"Don't worry." She didn't speak or type, but instead made a simple gesture in the air with her finger.
Then Jiang Xing glanced at Su Yanzhi and said, "Take us to find He Jingtong."
The confident smile on Su Yanzhi's face finally disappeared.
He walked beside Jiang Xingni, somewhat reluctantly asking, "Why He Jingtong? What is it that I can't do?"
"I can do far more than that He Jingtong."
Jiang Xing glanced at him speechlessly: "Guess why He Jingtong isn't here at this time?"
After all, logically speaking, He Jingtong should be next to Song Juexiao. It's impossible for a comic to lose one of the main characters while it's being drawn.
The reason why He Jingtong was not there was very simple.
Jiang Xingni sent him away.
As early as when Xu Niannian left, Jiang Xingni secretly sent a text message to He Jingtong, who was outside the school, instructing him to take good care of Xu Niannian.
He Jingtong was indeed not used to being ordered around and told what to do.
However, the tacit understanding developed during the first instance was enough for He Jingtong to heed Jiang Xingni's advice and instructions at this time.
"As you wish, sir." He rarely joked in writing, and then agreed to Jiang Xingni's request, finding Xu Niannian who was hiding alone.
Meanwhile, Xiao Jiming still didn't understand: "How can you be sure Xu Niannian is the next victim when the monster corrupted and assimilated by Zhao Henshan is hiding like this?"
Jiang Xing turned her head to look at him.
good question.
Because none of the characters are pure cannon fodder or completely useless extras.
Jiang Xingni knew, of course, that the characters who had been briefly mentioned in conversations had their own complete lives.
However, their storyline will not appear in the comics.
Xu Niannian is a character who has already appeared in the story. Killing her would generate a much greater response than killing an ordinary cannon fodder character.
