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

Chapter 171 Safe Journey

Jiang Xing raised an eyebrow, wondering what other excuse he could come up with.

Then Xie Yungui said confidently, "His grandmother has lived enough, but you're still young."

That is one reason.

Jiang Xingni rubbed his temples: "What if it's a minor?"

Just like the little girl that this monster is now targeting, at the age of twelve or thirteen, no one can say that "she's had enough of living."

Xie Yungui pondered for a moment, then calmly replied, "That's just her fate. The sooner she dies, the sooner she'll be reincarnated, and maybe she can avoid it for a few years..."

Xie Yungui suddenly realized something and immediately fell silent.

However, this was enough for Jiang Xing to notice the hidden meaning in Xie Yungui's words.

Years later—what will happen in a few years, so that Xie Yungui will think that dying now is a good end?

Is it better to be alive a few years from now?

Jiang Xingni didn't press for an answer—even if she did, Xie Yungui wouldn't give her one—but instead shook her head.

"I'm the captain, you remember?" Jiang Xingni said calmly.

Xie Yungui nodded.

"Then listen to me," she said without hesitation.

Jiang Xingni opened the forum URL attached to the file.

Although the investigators who carried out the mission said that all traces had been dealt with, Jiang Xingni had a premonition that new posts that hadn't been monitored by them would appear.

—It really is.

The first post you see when you open the forum is it.

Why was that previous post deleted? My daughter seems to have encountered something similar to what was posted there.

Jiang Xingni clicked on it immediately.

The loading screen spun around a few times before finally loading completely, much to Jiang Xing's chagrin.

LZ: It's that post where the original poster said his grandma seemed to be being targeted. I initially just wanted to have some fun when I saw it; I've always been a materialist, who would take something like that seriously? But then something similar actually happened to me... to my daughter.

1L: Huh? Did you guys coordinate to use multiple accounts to fish in the forum? It's only the beginning of the year, how can there be so many KPIs to meet?

2L: Assuming this is true, even if it is, it doesn't necessarily mean it's all supernatural or ghostly stuff. It could just be a highly skilled criminal gang working together. And since their methods are similar, you should probably report it to the police sooner rather than later.

3L: Judging from the IP location, how come the original poster is also in the capital? That shouldn't be the case. Wouldn't the police take this kind of thing seriously?

4L: Shh, shh, shh, you can't say that.

5L: What's so mysterious about it that you can't say? Maybe they've already started investigating, but we just don't know about it.

6L: That thread seems to have been blocked, and this thread might be blocked too...

7L: Oh my god, I even left a comment! OP, don't make it so I can't browse the forum!

When Jiang Xingni refreshed the page again, the post had changed to a message indicating that it had been banned.

Then she casually searched for the usernames that appeared in the post.

—For all users, the search results show that the user has been banned for suspected violations.

Okay, what the sixth floor said is indeed true; it came true.

Jiang Xingni and Xie Yungui exchanged a glance.

"Are you going to ask Pei Zhaoye?" This was the only possibility Xie Yungui could think of.

He didn't know if Jiang Xingni had any hacking skills or anything like that, but he knew that Pei Zhaoye was truly unmatched in the field of the internet.

Jiang Xingni pondered for a moment.

She was basically certain that the second victim—actually, she didn't know which one, but it was the second victim who had been noticed by those behind the curtain—was the little girl that Jiang Xing had seen in the store.

She had already seen the hospital sign back then.

Now, relying on his memory and the guidance in his eyes, Jiang Xingni is fully capable of finding the victim.

However, Jiang Xingni still opened her phone and sent a message to Pei Zhaoye.

Jiang Xingni: [Can you receive messages?]

Pei Zhaoye replied instantly: [1]

She sent the link to the post, and then sent her own speculation.

Could you please check if the IP address of this poster is within this hospital, and if so, specifically where within the hospital?

Pei Zhaoye did not reply.

"If Pei Zhaoye can't help, I can help you too," Xie Yungui said casually, leaning on the table. "I thought you'd ask me first."

You're overthinking it.

Jiang Xing answered him silently in his heart.

If it weren't to confirm whether Pei Zhaoye could be contacted and to add another layer of assurance to her speculation, Jiang Xingni wouldn't have asked Pei Zhaoye at all, but would have directly taken Xie Yungui to the hospital.

"How are you going to help me?" Jiang Xingni looked up at Xie Yungui.

Xie Yungui is a rare example of someone with long hair among the main characters.

White—or silver? Jiang Xingni couldn't tell—her hair fell over her shoulders and wasn't tied up with a hair tie or anything like that.

Those red eyes remained fixed on Jiang Xingni without blinking.

Jiang Xingni then realized that Xie Yungui seemed to have been watching her the whole time.

When he was spacing out, Jiang Xingni would occasionally feel that Xie Yungui's expression was really not very human.

"We'll just try and fail one by one," Xie Yungui said with a smile. "Anyway, I'll always come back, won't I?"

"If there's no one in this hospital, go to the next hospital; if there's no one in the hospitals in this city, go to the next city."

His tone carried a hint of amusement, but Jiang Xingni could clearly hear the solemnity hidden within it.

Xie Yungui said, "Anyway, I have almost unlimited time, so I can always do what you want."

Jiang Xingni looked at him thoughtfully for a while.

Xie Yungui's eyes lit up, and just as he was about to say something, he saw Jiang Xingni lower his head—Pei Zhaoye's message had arrived.

[From the First Affiliated Hospital of Capital Medical University.] Pei Zhaoye sent a message. [Pediatric Hematology and Oncology Center, she has leukemia?]

"It's possible. I suspect she's the next victim targeted by some monster," Jiang Xingni replied.

Then she saw that Pei Zhaoye had sent her a location, which happened to be the location of the ward where the little girl was.

"We're still on the plane. This time it shouldn't be so exciting, like a hijacking," Pei Zhaoye joked.

"That's not necessarily true," Jiang Xing thought to himself.

—After all, most of the main characters are on your side, and the core main characters are also on your side.

Even if Song Juexiao said that the journey would be safe and sound, Jiang Xingni wouldn't believe it.

They also wondered if Song Juexiao would suffer a backlash.
