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

Chapter 149 The Stabilizing Force

【Huh?】The system was bewildered for a moment, wondering how Jiang Xingni came to this conclusion.

Jiang Xingni was not surprised.

"After all, given the current gun control situation, it's a bit difficult for the protagonist to carry a gun around in the story," Jiang Xingni shrugged and said.

She had wanted to get a gun a long time ago.

Jiang Xingni thought this with a clear conscience at that time.

Given how bad the security situation is around us, is it really that unreasonable to want a gun for self-defense?

As a result, Jiang Xingni made inquiries through his connections in the gray market, but to no avail.

That's when she learned just how strict the control over firearms and ammunition really was.

The young girl regretfully withdrew her steps from her eager attempt to break the law.

Jiang Xingni is now very grateful that she realized her mistake back then, which gave her the opportunity to take the civil service exam.

Moreover, the fact that this image can be displayed in the official diagrams suggests that this sniper rifle will undoubtedly become Song Juexiao's signature weapon.

Those who can carry this weapon on a daily basis...

Jiang Xingni's train of thought was interrupted by Xiao Jiming's words before it could continue its winding course.

"You can see a glimpse of the future?" Xiao Jiming raised an eyebrow with interest. "That's perfect. Teacher Lin said another new person is coming, whose abilities are related to advance payments."

Jiang Xingnian then remembered that the Fourth Middle School instance had already ended.

As is customary, new members of the main cast should appear at this point.

"So when exactly are they going to add more members to the main cast?" Jiang Xingni didn't understand.

She practically forced her way into the main cast, so Jiang Xingni shouldn't have been included in the scriptwriters' original plan for the main cast.

Starting with Xiao Jiming and the other three, Su Yanzhi is the fifth. Of the five, only Song Juexiao is a woman.

"Male or female?" Jiang Xingni was only curious about this question.

If Jiang Xingni hadn't forced her way into the main cast, and the newcomers were all male—a team with only Song Juexiao as the only woman would have been a bit suffocating.

Although this is a common trope in shonen manga.

"Male," Xiao Jiming said. "I don't know his name, but... I've heard of him."

Xiao Jiming did not directly state in what way he had heard about it.

Jiang Xingni had a guess, but since Xiao Jiming hadn't said anything, she wisely kept quiet.

She continued to look at Song Juexiao's formula book, which she hadn't finished reading yet, on her phone.

The first page only shows her character's outfit, and then briefly introduces Song Juexiao's motorcycle and sniper rifle.

Jiang Xingni didn't know much about these things, so he just glanced at them briefly and didn't study them much.

Anyway, Jiang Xingni's research won't yield any results.

As soon as Jiang Xingni opened the second page, he knew it was the perfect spot for CP fans to celebrate.

It briefly introduces Jiang Xingni's attitude towards the existing members of the main character group.

They haven't even appeared yet—but nine times out of ten, the main characters listed in the synopsis have been censored, replaced by large, blurry blocks of text.

It's not clear.

[My attitude towards Jiang Xingni: A teammate. I don't know what I would do without her. I will always trust her judgment, just as I trust myself. I wish I could let her listen to me—I want you to trust me with peace of mind, and I want to be friends with you like Xu Niannian is with you. You deserve to be loved by everyone. Okay. Actually, I didn't have any feelings for Jiang Xingni at first. New people always join the team, and I have no reason to get along with everyone. But she is different from the others in the team. At first, it was just women sticking together for warmth, but later... You wouldn't understand if you didn't have someone like that in your life. Meeting Jiang Xingni is a very lucky thing. Others would waver, need your comfort, need your support, and you also need someone to rely on, but she is there, like a pillar of strength. No matter when you turn around, you can see her. As long as she is there, you know you can rely on her.]

Then came long stretches of censored text.

[Regarding Xiao Jiming: Initially, he was just someone who had slipped through the net and wasn't picked up by the school. As a result, the newcomer replaced Pei Zhaoye and the others as captain—but he is indeed a very reliable captain. Although he always seems to be smiling, I always feel that his temper isn't as good as I imagined? But it doesn't have much to do with me. As long as he can ensure the lives of all team members and not let anyone go to their deaths in vain, he is already qualified.]

[Regarding Pei Zhaoye: In popular terms, what should we call "childhood sweethearts"? Actually, our relationship wasn't that great. We used to be really close, but after entering puberty, we gradually drifted apart because of our genders. I don't really care about these things, but some people's words were just too harsh. He and I both felt that it would be more comfortable for both of us to keep the relationship a little distant—damn it, don't try to steal Jiang Xingni from me.]

[Regarding Su Yanzhi: Initially, I was indeed wary of him doing anything to Jiang Xingni, but with me watching over him, I think nothing serious will happen. He's very useful; you can get him to help for money. He's a reliable and competent tool. I hope we don't become adversaries; we're friends, I guess? However, given his personality, if someone really paid him to assassinate me, he… I can't quite trust our relationship, but I also don't think he would assassinate me for money. In short, it's complicated—if we really become adversaries, a fight would be quite troublesome.]

……

These few paragraphs alone take up the entire page.

Not all the text in the image is displayed; much of it is blurred out and may be revealed later.

The third image is an introduction to Song Juexiao's special abilities.

Jiang Xingni had just saved this picture and wanted to take a closer look.

The entire plane suddenly shook.

?

Jiang Xingni, who was engrossed in looking at his phone, and Xiao Jiming, who was dozing off, instantly snapped out of their daze. The two of them looked at each other in unison, then looked up and saw the person wearing a black mask.

...?

"A hijacking...?" Jiang Xingni couldn't believe it; she actually encountered a plot that only happened in novels and TV dramas.

Wait, she's already in the comic book—that's alright then.

As expected of the protagonist, even his plane gets hijacked.

Jiang Xingni felt that his life experience had been greatly enriched.

"Most likely." Xiao Jiming sat down beside her and patted the back of her hand reassuringly.

Neither Jiang Xingni nor Xiao Jiming treated this minor matter as an incident that needed to be addressed.

They themselves will certainly be fine, but the passengers on the plane are another story.
