Chapter 197 They should know who made him...
This wasn't the first time Jiang Xingni had said she wanted to go home and visit her family.
However, the system has reservations about whether she will actually be able to go home.
From a height of several hundred meters, Jiang Xingni looked down and could only vaguely see a few figures on the ground.
If you try to identify someone by their hair color, you can't really tell the color of their hair at all.
However, on this plain, the only people who could be heading in Jiang Xingni's direction are the main characters.
She first opened her phone and searched for train tickets to her hometown.
As luck would have it, even though it's not a holiday, all the tickets are already sold out at this very moment.
Jiang Xingni raised an eyebrow with some suspicion, but then Lin Hongguang sent a message, so he had no choice but to give up.
"How's it going?" Lin Hongguang asked. "They're all out of reach; only you can contact them."
Jiang Xingni rested his chin on his hand, glanced at the main characters rushing back, and then looked at the message he had received from Xie Yungui.
She quickly replied: "Everyone is out, but we'll have to wait for them to report back."
Are you with them?
【No, Xie Yungui is in charge of going in to rescue them; I'll clear the way for them.】
Jiang Xingni answered confidently.
What she said is absolutely correct.
How can clearing the city's filth with a single arrow not be considered paving the way for them?
Xie Yungui entered the experimental base entirely voluntarily to carry out the rescue.
Jiang Xingni believed in Xie Yungui—or more accurately, she believed in Xie Yungui's supernatural abilities and his ability to save his life.
Even if something were to happen at the experimental base, Xie Yungui would be the one who would never get hurt.
He has countless opportunities to start over, to repeat the cycle endlessly.
Below Lin Hongguang's name, the message "[The other party is typing]" lingered for a long time.
Then it disappeared.
Lin Hongguang: [I understand, thank you for your hard work, Jiang Xingni.]
...What did you understand?
Jiang Xingni was confused for a moment.
Lin Hongguang naturally had his own explanation.
He certainly didn't know Jiang Xingni very well.
Compared to the other main characters who had spent a semester together, Lin Hongguang and Jiang Xingni had only known each other for a few months, and in those few months, they had had even less time to actually interact.
He couldn't say how well he knew Jiang Xingni.
Therefore, under these circumstances, when Jiang Xingni left the team, Lin Hongguang naturally began to imagine the situation.
Could it be that Jiang Xingni was too badly injured while trying to save the rest of the people, making it impossible for him to carry out the subsequent work, and he could only stay in place and wait for his teammates to come to his aid?
Jiang Xingni, separated by a phone and a thousand miles, could not see the serious yet worried expression on Lin Hongguang's face.
Jiang Xingni's subsequent words further confirmed Lin Hongguang's view.
Even without serious injuries, Jiang Xingni deserves the words "thank you for your hard work" for clearing the way for his teammates all by himself.
— He could already picture Jiang Xingni stepping forward at a critical moment, facing numerous enemies, saying only to Xie Yungui, "You go first, I'll be right behind you," and then fighting against a thousand enemies single-handedly.
"How is the injury?" he asked after a moment's thought.
Jiang Xingni was waiting to reunite with his teammates when he saw what Lin Hongguang said.
Jiang Xingni: ...?
What is he thinking?
Jiang Xingni felt that she couldn't imagine it.
"I'm not injured," she replied.
Lin Hongguang understood once again—this time the direction was almost the same as what Xie Yungui thought—if it wasn't a physical injury, then it could only be fatigue caused by overuse of supernatural abilities.
"I see, thank you for your hard work." He said again. "I'll try to get you some more rest time this time, so please take care."
Jiang Xingni gave up trying to explain.
Thanks to the screenwriter's special ability, Jiang Xingni managed to pull off a big stunt, but in reality, she was unharmed.
*
When Xie Yungui got off the plane, he had already noticed just how far Jiang Xingni had gone.
—The black fog dissipated, and sunlight shone through.
The ghost realm was shattered by Jiang Xingni's arrow, and the monsters it kept vanished into thin air.
No matter what he was doing, Xie Yungui had actually seen the scene before him a million times in his mind.
So much so that sometimes he would be unable to distinguish whether he was in reality or in his memory because the scene before him was so similar to the scene in his memory.
He will confuse his situation.
It is only natural.
Jiang Xingni has always been the anchor point that distinguishes whether he is in reality or in his memories.
Just as he said—he chose to reincarnate repeatedly for Jiang Xingni's sake.
So every time he chose to reload a save, it was either because of Jiang Xingni's death, or because he himself had held Jiang Xingni back and died just like that, unable to accompany Jiang Xingni to the end.
Jiang Xingni, who is alive, breathing, and speaking, has always been Xie Yungui's anchor point to the real world.
But only now, in Jiang Xingni's absence, did Xie Yungui clearly notice that the scene before him was different from the countless repetitions in his memory.
The scene we see now is essentially caused by Jiang Xingni.
He remembered walking this road countless times.
Not every choice will result in Xie Yungui being paired with Jiang Xingni by Lin Hongguang.
Sometimes he would go into the city with Xiao Jiming and the others, and then be ambushed because of his lack of vigilance.
Sometimes he would team up with other members to rescue characters trapped in the laboratory.
In a sense, Xie Yungui was repeatedly playing a game that he had already played countless times.
And in all the storylines, the choices that lead to different outcomes are all because of Jiang Xingni.
Jiang Xingni is the only variable in Xie Yungui's entire life.
He remembered the scene he had witnessed before: without Jiang Xingni's involvement, the entire city of Baoning would be trapped in black fog for almost a day.
It would be difficult for an ordinary person to get so close to a monster for such a long time.
The last school to have come into close contact with the supernatural was the Fourth Middle School—the number of people who died and how many were forgotten is well-known to them.
By the time the black fog was finally dispelled, the death toll in Baoning City was no longer something that could be resolved with just four figures.
Now, under the sunlight, ordinary people walk hurriedly, unaware of the reason for their morning's pause, before returning to their usual busy routines.
Xie Yungui wore a shirt with a long trench coat. Apart from his slightly prominent white hair, he blended seamlessly into the crowd of office workers.
They should remember Jiang Xingni.
Xie Yungui thought to himself.
They should know who saved them from death.
