Chapter 166 Task Assignment
Logically speaking, the fastest way for Jiang Xingni to get the answer is to ask Song Juexiao directly.
However, firstly, directly asking Jiang Xingni was uncertain whether it would be included in the comic's content, and secondly, Jiang Xingni was also unsure whether Song Juexiao would be able to detect anything unusual.
Asking questions rashly is more likely to alert the enemy.
She added another item to her schedule—to review the beginning of the comic again and to keep an eye on the plot analysis posts within the comic.
Moreover, Jiang Xingni couldn't be sure whether he or He Jing held a higher position in Song Juexiao's heart.
It sounds a bit like she's jealous.
Jiang Xingni followed behind Song Juexiao, her tone light and cheerful.
"We won't be assigned together this time," Jiang Xingni said with absolute certainty.
Song Juexiao paused for a moment.
"Did you get some information from Teacher Lin? But..." She bit her lower lip and turned her head to look at Jiang Xingni's face.
Song Juexiao realized that Jiang Xingni was not joking.
She knew, of course, that Jiang Xingni wouldn't joke about something like this.
He also knew that in this regard, Jiang Xingni was definitely more likely to obtain Lin Hongguang's inside information than he was.
Song Juexiao chuckled.
"Sometimes, I really wonder, between you and Xie Yungui, who is the one with the prophetic ability?" Song Juexiao shrugged. "Although you keep saying that your ability is to see through all the truths."
"Is this kind of thing also within your field of vision?" Song Juexiao asked suspiciously.
Jiang Xingni shrugged and smiled at her friend, "Why don't you guess?"
Song Juexiao didn't want to use his brain.
Since a smart person has already told her about the possibilities for the future, she can simply choose to believe it.
"Can it be changed?" Song Juexiao asked. "If I refuse Lin Hongguang's arrangement and insist on being in your group, can the future be changed?"
Jiang Xingni: ?
"Ah..." She hesitated for a moment. "I don't recommend you do that."
Although she didn't know what the main characters would go through, Jiang Xingni was certain that the screenwriter's arrangement meant that everyone's abilities would be put to good use.
If Song Juexiao chooses to take a different path because of her reminder, it means that Xiao Jiming's instance will lose Song Juexiao's help.
If anything goes wrong, Jiang Xingni can foresee how the forum will try to pin the blame on her.
Song Juexiao regretfully abandoned the idea.
"So, the other side still needs me—who's so lucky to be assigned to the same group as you?" Song Juexiao asked.
The outline of the teaching building can already be seen.
The building where Jiang Xingni and Xiao Jiming were squatting last night is not the same one.
Perhaps because it was winter break, there weren't many students walking around in the teaching building.
"Thank you, Yun Gui," Jiang Xingni said.
They followed Song Juexiao into the teaching building.
Upon hearing this, Song Juexiao raised an eyebrow.
Jiang Xingni carefully considered the current distribution of the main characters.
In the next instance, Jiang Xingni and Xie Yungui will be in the same group.
The other group consists of He Jingtong, Xiao Jiming, Su Yanzhi, Song Juexiao, and Pei Zhaoye, who hasn't appeared in a whole instance.
Jiang Xingni fell into deep thought.
She was thinking that if Pei Zhaoye didn't show up soon, she would almost forget his name—of course, she was just kidding.
Even without considering which group Xiao Jiming, the protagonist, is in, just looking at the composition of the two sides, it's easy to imagine which side is more difficult.
Jiang Xingni pushed open the door and casually grasped Song Juexiao's hand, which was hanging by his side.
She gently scratched Song Juexiao's palm with her fingertips, her tone calm: "Watch your wrist."
Song Juexiao subconsciously wanted to hold her hand, but the moment their fingers closed, Jiang Xingni had already pulled her hand back.
Her fingertips trembled, then she looked down at her wrist.
Song Juexiao's wrist was completely bare.
She glanced at Jiang Xingni with a puzzled look. Song Juexiao knew that Jiang Xingni was not the kind of person who would make baseless accusations.
But there really was nothing on his wrist.
"Whose wrist?" The question came to Song Juexiao's mind the next second.
Then, Jiang Xingni turned her head and glanced at her with a smile.
Then she raised her index finger and put it to her lips, making a shushing gesture.
"Why do you divination departments always keep us in suspense like this?" Song Juexiao said, feigning displeasure, but he didn't seem to care much about it.
If it were possible to ask, Jiang Xingni would tell her directly.
The reason I didn't say it aloud is because it's not the right time yet, so this is the only way I can remind her.
Jiang Xing smiled but remained silent.
She pointed out that there wasn't anything seriously wrong with her wrist.
After all, the passerby she had seen before who was connected to this incident was wearing some kind of strange bracelet on his wrist.
If this is related to the dungeon, then during the dungeon run, people will definitely notice the bracelets they are wearing on their wrists, which will remind them of Jiang Xingni's words about paying attention to their wrists.
It's a small way to show off after some time has passed.
Although Jiang Xingni actually wanted to remind Xiao Jiming of the skull bracelet on his wrist.
However, we can't give such a direct warning, like those posts on forums that speculate on how things will develop.
Posts that are too direct will be deleted by the scriptwriters—or maybe not, but in any case, by the forum administrators.
Too direct a spoiler is very likely to result in the scriptwriters cutting the scene.
It's more likely that this will provoke hatred, and in subsequent plot developments, the writers will try every means to eliminate Jiang Xingni.
—She still really wanted to live, at least not to die so hastily.

Pushing open the door, I found that almost everyone in the classroom had already arrived.
Jiang Xing glanced around and saw that everyone there was a familiar face.
From Lin Hongguang to Xie Yungui, everyone she could think of who was directly related to the next instance was here.
"Something unexpected happened." Lin Hongguang nodded to Jiang Xingni, gesturing for them to sit down, and then spoke directly. "The school has had to assign you to a new mission."
Lin Hongguang didn't explain what the emergency was, and naturally they didn't ask.
"The first team's mission is to investigate the group of people who used the strange objects that appeared on the plane earlier. The latest progress of the investigation team is that it is related to Boryeong City."
"Therefore, the first group will go to Baoning City."
"The second group will stay in the city. Their mission is to investigate the rumors circulating in Kyoto about a monster that will kill anyone who targets it."
Lin Hongguang looked around.
"The first group is led by Xiao Jiming."
"The second group is led by Jiang Xingni and is responsible for Xie Yungui—everyone else except the two of them will be assigned to the first group."
