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

Chapter 126 Zhao Henshan is dead

That is indeed a reason.

However, Jiang Xingni refused to believe that the deaths of thousands of people were merely the result of their attempts to cover up their actions.

If the reason is really that simple, then what about Zhao Henshan, Ji Shanqing, and Xu Niannian who is about to be targeted?

Xiao Jiming turned his head and looked at Jiang Xingni: "Can't you see it? The truth."

Jiang Xingni shook his head.

This is the limitation of the Eye of Truth.

She can indeed see the truth hidden beneath illusions and falsehoods.

but--

"I can see the truth, but I can't see into people's hearts," Jiang Xingni frankly admitted. "My special ability is the Eye of Truth, not mind reading."

The answer to this question will probably only be found when the main characters have an additional character who can read minds.

Xiao Jiming also realized this.

"Does your college know about this?" Jiang Xingni asked.

"It's our college, and you're a member of it." He Jingtong took out a communicator and casually twirled it between his fingers. "Want to contact me?"

All eyes turned to Xiao Jiming.

Ultimately, regardless of their decisions here, Xiao Jiming is the actual leader of the entire team, and for Jiang Xingni, only Xiao Jiming is the absolute protagonist of this comic.

If it were someone else, their decision wouldn't have received the same unanimous approval from both inside and outside the comics as Xiao Jiming's.

In other words, no one else could be as useful a scapegoat as Xiao Jiming.

Xiao Jiming was about to speak when Xu Niannian interrupted him: "Wait, are you saying that all the school leaders are bad people?"

"Damn, I knew it! Those who become leaders aren't anything good!"

Xu Niannian shouted.

"Then why don't we let Ji Shanqing know about this, and let them experience what it's like to be chased by a female ghost?"

Jiang Xing glanced at her.

she does not know.

Xu Niannian was unaware that Ji Shanqing had already lost her body and mind while upstairs and was currently being imprisoned.

Now, the badge has chosen Xu Niannian. If Xu Niannian had not survived, she would have replaced Ji Shanqing and become the new "Zhao Henshan".

But Xu Niannian survived.

Jiang Xingni and Xiao Jiming exchanged a glance: "Can you do it?"

Xiao Jiming nodded.

—To allow Xu Niannian to temporarily become "Zhao Henshan" while ensuring her survival and safety, enabling her to do what she said she would do.

Under the questioning gazes of Su Yanzhi and He Jingtong, Jiang Xingni turned his head and looked at Xu Niannian.

"Ji Shanqing can't do it right now," Jiang Xingni said. "But you can. I mean, Niannian, if you could do it, would you be willing to?"

What's there to hesitate or agonize over?

Xu Niannian nodded without hesitation: "Why wouldn't I want to! This is a limited-time trial card for being a female ghost!"

Xu Niannian's eyes were sparkling.

Jiang Xingni didn't know exactly what Xiao Jiming's special ability was, as it couldn't be revealed at the moment. However, since he could control those strange creatures, he probably had his own methods for dealing with such things. As soon as he activated it, Jiang Xingni could clearly see a light black light shining from all around him, converging towards the badge, and then landing on Xu Niannian as the badge moved.

Xu Niannian heard it.

The moment she put on the "Three Good Student" badge, she heard that familiar seductive voice.

That was the voice that made her believe Jiang Xingni was already dead.

Do you think Jiang Xingni will survive?

"Why did you run away by yourself?"

"Jiang Xingni's death was entirely your fault!"

The voice appeared briefly before being drowned out by Jiang Xingni's voice.

Why do you think I'll die there?

Xu Niannian's consciousness finally surfaced amidst the conflict between the two voices, and she suddenly remembered her true purpose.

In order to experience this "limited-time female ghost experience card".

In retaliation against the school leaders.

But the main purpose was still for Jiang Xingni.

Xu Niannian has always been very self-aware. She knows that she is not like Jiang Xingni, who always lends a helping hand to those in pain.

She is selfish, cowardly, and jealous of her best friend; she is nowhere near as noble as Jiang Xingni.

However, Xu Niannian did not want to see Jiang Xingni push her away again, leaving herself alone in danger, because she could not help her and would only be a burden to her.

Although Xu Niannian was well aware that the words she heard and the arrangements she didn't understand all indicated that Jiang Xingni was now from a different world from her.

Like the difference between wizards and Muggles in Harry Potter?

In the past, Xu Niannian would definitely have been jealous.

Her best friend not only got the qualification for admission without examination, but also possessed abilities that ordinary people could not even imagine, and experienced adventures that she could only see in movies.

But now, having truly experienced what it's like to be chased by a female ghost, Xu Niannian can only think—how many more dangers like this will she have to go through?

How many hardships will Jiang Xingni encounter in the future?

Even so, Xu Niannian still despised herself in her heart. She couldn't follow in Jiang Xingni's footsteps. She was afraid of death and worried about Jiang Xingni's safety, but she didn't dare to risk her life to accompany him. The only thing she could think of was to pull her away from the dangerous place.

It's so dangerous, people could die, why not let someone else go? Why do you have to go yourself? Why not be the one being protected, instead of the one protecting others?

Xu Niannian knew that Jiang Xingni would definitely refuse.

In that case, we now have an opportunity.

Xu Niannian thought to herself.

—I really want to be brave just once, I really want to be someone who can protect Jiang Xingni.

Even just once would be enough.

How much hardship and suffering will she endure in the future?

And if I can shield her even a little, even just this once, that will be enough.

Xu Niannian closed her eyes.

But the world in her eyes had become larger than ever before—the dead classmates, the ghosts who were either still conscious or had only left behind some lingering resentment, were scattered throughout every corner of the school.

I was peeping into the classroom and saw the students secretly playing with the Seewo whiteboard after class.

In the school supermarket, he meticulously listed the snacks and drinks he had liked to eat and drink during his lifetime.

At the school gate, clutching a fake sick note, she eagerly awaited the return of the person who loved her to pick her up and take her home, just like before.

But all they were reciting was one sentence.

—Don't let him remember me, don't let Zhao Henshan find out about me, and don't let my family members die because of me after I die.

"Zhao Henshan is dead," Xu Niannian heard Jiang Xingni whisper in her ear.

"Zhao Henshan is dead," Xu Niannian repeated Jiang Xingni's words.

Then, the entire gray and white world silently and suddenly exploded.
