The purpose of Chapter 203 is
— He Jingtong was so angry at Pei Zhaoye that he almost laughed.
For a moment, he really wanted to let go.
Just as Pei Zhaoye thought, He Jingtong also knew that even if he let go, Pei Zhaoye would be fine.
Whether Pei Zhaoye is alright is one thing, but whether He Jingtong will lend a hand... is another matter entirely.
With a cold face, He Jingtong secretly pinched Pei Zhaoye's wrist, pretending not to see the sinister look in Pei Zhaoye's eyes after he was pinched.
Then, with a slight exertion, he pulled Pei Zhaoye up from mid-air.
Pei Zhaoye swayed in mid-air before feeling his feet touch the ground.
He always had a sense of déjà vu.
Perhaps it's because a few months ago, Pei Zhaoye was also grabbed by the collar and swung around in mid-air by Jiang Xingni in the same way.
With his waist tightly bound by Xiao Jiming's strange bindings, the force suddenly increased, causing Pei Zhaoye, who had just regained his footing, to fall forward.
They have just left the affected area.
A loud bang came from behind.
Pei Zhaoye and He Jingtong both turned around.
—The hill that was once faintly visible had collapsed, revealing a deep crater.
An experimental base could not possibly stand out conspicuously on the ground, especially one that could hardly be considered legitimate.
"Are the people inside still alive?" He heard Song Juexiao's voice behind him.
As always, there was no emotion in her voice—or rather, Pei Zhaoye couldn't discern any emotion hidden within it.
After all, Pei Zhaoye didn't usually have many opportunities to hear Song Juexiao speak.
Pei Zhaoye stared for a while, then shrugged: "Only Jiang Xingni probably knows."
Buried amidst ruins, Pei Zhaoye could no longer see the cold, man-made materials.
When he saw the self-destruct program being activated, he never expected it to be this kind of "self-destruction".
Pei Zhaoye initially thought that the entire experimental base had been sealed off, and only their location had been set up with a trap.
Unexpectedly, the entire base would self-destruct so completely.
Xie Yungui looked at the ruins and then heard Song Juexiao's voice.
"So what exactly happened?" She stared at Xie Yungui. "I think we need answers."
Song Juexiao didn't mean to target Xie Yungui, although she did dislike this character whose abilities and team roles overlapped to some extent with Jiang Xingni's.
But she really wanted to know what exactly happened.
"We still need Jiang Xingni." Xie Yungui glanced at them casually, his gaze lingering on He Jingtong, before calmly saying, "Let's talk about it when Jiang Xingni is here."
"Anyway, it won't make a difference if it's just a little while longer."
But Jiang Xingni's presence is required.
Whether others need Xie Yungui is unknown, but Xie Yungui himself knows that he needs Jiang Xingni's presence.

Jiang Xingni felt the rope hanging down beneath his feet sway slightly.
She turned her head to look and saw Pei Zhaoye tied to a rope by a group of people.
He seemed quite content, and even waved to me with a smile.
Since he fell down like that, Xiao Jiming didn't need to discuss it with his teammates. He only needed to exchange glances to know that everyone was thinking the same thing.
—Tie Pei Zhaoye to a rope.
Otherwise, they would really suspect that the person would be blown down by the wind while climbing.
Pei Zhaoye's martial arts skills certainly weren't that low.
Sometimes Jiang Xingni also found it strange—Pei Zhaoye's martial arts prowess was, in a sense, a mystery.
She could naturally see through the comic that Pei Zhaoye was perfectly capable of knocking out a whole bunch of people when he was alone.
When she's with her teammates, she suddenly becomes weak and helpless.
Considering Pei Zhaoye's personality, Jiang Xingni couldn't help but guess that this might also be a lie told by Pei Zhaoye.
But what's the point of using such lies to deceive?
Jiang Xingni didn't know.
Starting with Pei Zhaoye, the group successfully boarded the plane.
Staring at the pilot flying the plane at the front, He Jingtong silently made a hand seal, isolating the two spaces so that at least the sound could not be transmitted.
"You know what?" Jiang Xingni's gaze fell on Xiao Jiming, and he turned off his phone screen with his thumb.
Xiao Jiming shrugged, his eyes keenly catching Jiang Xingni's phone screen, but he could only see the lit-up 12306 interface; the specific departure and destination points were unclear.
"Are you looking at train schedules for Baoning City?" Jiang Xingni didn't need to explain; Xiao Jiming had already prepared a reason in his mind before answering her question. "Xie Yungui has the information."
With everyone gathered, we could finally hear what had happened on this round.
"The experimental base was created by VOID," Xie Yungui said without hesitation.
——VOID.
Indeed, he was on Jiang Xingni's list of suspects.
She remembered Song Juexiao telling her about this organization; it was quite large, but not an official one.
So, in the end, it is the final boss of the entire comic.
Jiang Xingni is only curious about one thing right now.
Having read so many shonen manga, she wondered if VOID would offer something new, since the final bosses' goals were all pretty much the same.
"Regardless of its stated purpose," Xie Yungui said calmly, "its internal documents and records clearly show that it doesn't care about humanity."
"To be more precise, it wanted to combine the supernatural with humans to conduct experiments, and the victims were the test subjects."
— Xie Yungui did not have time to retrieve the documents.
The self-destruct mechanism was activated the instant he discovered the information.
The reason Xie Yungui was able to see these messages was that he sacrificed his teammates on a certain timeline, letting them die, so that he could have enough time to read the materials and memorize the information.
"This time, their main purpose is to obtain Xiao Jiming's special abilities."
Whether it was luring Xiao Jiming there or trapping everyone in an illusion, it was all for Xiao Jiming's sake.
Jiang Xingni and Xie Yungui exchanged a glance; she could hear the unspoken meaning in Xie Yungui's words.
It's understandable why Xie Yungui didn't say it directly, but instead remained silent.
Limitations of the screenwriter, limitations of the upper-level narrative, and the needs of story development—
In short, the screenwriter will definitely not let Xie Yungui reveal a secret about the protagonist at this time.
"My special ability?" Xiao Jiming sat in his chair, resting his chin on his hand in deep thought.
He knew that his special ability was actually quite rare.
But then again, the abilities of those superhumans in this helicopter cabin are quite common.
