Chapter 187 How come you all understood it?
Even without Lin Hongguang saying it, Jiang Xingni and Xie Yungui had already planned it that way.
"I understand," Jiang Xingni replied in the communication.
Jiang Xingni pulled Xie Yungui and walked outside.
The new abilities added this time are different from the ones at the beginning.
Jiang Xingni sat in the passenger seat and read through the forum's discussions about his abilities.
After the new chapter of the comic was released, all the new posts on the forum were about Xiao Jiming and Song Juexiao.
Occasionally, you might see a few posts discussing yourself, but they are quickly pushed down.
Jiang Xingni flipped through several pages before finally seeing his own name at the back.
There aren't actually many people who discuss their own abilities.
Most people are still focused on the content of this instance and shipping Xie Yungui with her own partner.
"System, can you calculate how many people on the entire forum are discussing my superpowers?" Jiang Xingni asked in a low voice.
The system is confused.
It thought that Jiang Xingni would be more worried about Song Juexiao's situation at this time.
But Jiang Xingni simply tapped the screen lightly with her fingertips.
"I can't get involved," she said calmly to herself. "Song Juexiao has woken up; the rest is her path to walk."
The hardest part—waking up from the dream—is something Song Juexiao has already overcome. Some nightmares are simply beyond the reach of others.
Moreover, Song Juexiao herself is that kind of girl.
Even without the help of others, she can still get out of her nightmares.
Jiang Xingni's anger has always been directed at the screenwriter and everything that Song Juexiao has gone through—but she doesn't think that her going to Baoning alone to rescue Song Juexiao is the best ending for him.
Only when Song Juexiao herself emerges from this situation can the screenwriters stop repeatedly rehashing her story.
Song Juexiao deserves a more worthwhile future, instead of being bound by the bitterness of his family whom he has long since broken free from, reliving his nightmares again and again in various illusions.
The system didn't understand, but it had long since learned not to ask questions when it didn't know why Jiang Xingni wanted to do it, but instead simply did as Jiang Xingni asked.
[Special ability...] The system investigated, then became even more confused. [Less than twenty percent?]
Jiang Xingni had already anticipated this.
Logically speaking, the level of discussion Jiang Xingni sparked, especially regarding his supernatural abilities, was actually far less than that.
Therefore, the effect of the ability should not be as strong as it is now.
Her gaze thoughtfully shifted to Xie Yungui.
Alarm bells rang in Xie Yungui's mind.
He had just reached a red light, so he slowed down and gradually came to a stop.
Xie Yungui turned his head to look at Jiang Xingni, his tone low and languid: "Alright, now you can take the test."
Jiang Xingni regretfully withdrew his gaze, then smiled.
"The testing is complete," she said softly. "It was worth it."
After the brief red light period, Xie Yungui stepped on the gas and started the vehicle.
"Kill two birds with one stone?" Xie Yungui raised an eyebrow. "Alright, you always manage to trick me."
Jiang Xingni hadn't originally intended to extract this information—but Xie Yungui's behavior was far too obvious.
In the comic, she couldn't directly question Xie Yungui about which reincarnation he knew about this.
But looking at his performance, at least one thing is clear.
The ability she gained was far more powerful than the one Jiang Xingni had initially fabricated for the readers.
Get twice the result with half the effort.
There weren't many readers discussing it, so logically the effect should have been weaker rather than stronger.
In addition, she remembered the reader's analysis in a certain page of the comments, and Jiang Xingni had only an ominous premonition in her mind.
—I feel like the screenwriter is trying to harm her.
"What is Xingxing thinking about?" the system asked.
"...Could you find out the IP addresses of everyone who's been badmouthing me on the forum since now?" Jiang Xingni asked in his mind.
The system was even more confused.
【…? 】
[You want to solo kill him offline?]
The system was shocked, feeling that there was no need for such a thing.
Jiang Xingni can't even go to the real world, so what can she do even if she knows the IP addresses of those negative comments?
"Can you do it?" She didn't have a habit of explaining her reasons for doing things to others; instead, she asked directly.
System: 【…Okay.】
However, it will take a considerable amount of time.
The system estimated the time.
No matter how advanced it is, even if it can connect the real world and comics, the system will still face many limitations when it wants to influence higher narrative levels.
It will take about a day.
In the comics, it's incredibly easy for the system to investigate the IP address.
However, Jiang Xingni usually doesn't let the system do this.
It would be more convenient to instruct Pei Zhaoye in the comics, and she still needed to find an excuse to use the system.
This kind of concealment is actually very suitable for exploiting the system.
But why? The system couldn't understand it at all.
Jiang Xingni didn't intend to answer the question.
As soon as Jiang Xingni arrived at the high-speed rail station, he received a notification on his phone that the high-speed train to Baoning City was suspended due to weather conditions, and all passengers would receive double compensation.
That's quite rare.
Jiang Xingni didn't have time to consider what mode of transportation to use, so he contacted Lin Hongguang directly.
Without saying much, she simply took a screenshot of the notification she received on her phone and sent it.
"We've already dispatched a helicopter to the vicinity of the high-speed rail station. You take Xie Yungui and find a suitable location for the helicopter to hover," Lin Hongguang said.
The notification sound of a comic update on his phone reached Jiang Xingni's ears again.
The phone vibrated slightly.
It wasn't until he was seated in the helicopter that Jiang Xingni finally had time to check his phone again.
Xie Yungui sat beside her, blocking the driver's view as he secretly glanced at Jiang Xing's phone screen.
The newly updated chapter doesn't continue along Song Juexiao's storyline; instead, it starts from the beginning, telling the story of Xiao Jiming's main group from the moment they enter Baoning.
The color scheme in the comic suddenly shifted from the gentle yet eerily dreamlike feel of the previous chapter to colors that Jiang Xingni was familiar with.
[Holy crap, I'm still not over it. What was the screenwriter thinking? They clearly know Song Juexiao's ambition all along. She's a warrior, she wants to stand shoulder to shoulder with her teammates. When Lin Hongguang asked her if she wanted to be a support, she refused. With this kind of personality, the nightmare for Song Juexiao is becoming a housewife (no offense to housewives, just adding insult to injury). It's completely different from the character's established traits. The screenwriter knows how to torture the readers...]
For Song Juexiao, isn't it like growing up and finding herself becoming the very person she least wanted to be? She desperately wants to break free, but someone in her mind keeps telling her, "Yes, that's how it is..." Song Juexiao, do you ever dream about the things you and Jiang Xingni said to each other?
[Wait, wait, wait! Why are you all assuming this is Song Juexiao?! I didn't understand anything in the last chapter of the comic!!!]
