Chapter 224 What do you think?
To be honest, Jiang Xingni suspected that Lu Ming was a substitute that the screenwriter had put forward to kill him.
They share similar family backgrounds, and both have the same black hair and black eyes as Jiang Xingni at the beginning; they are both ordinary people.
However, they have completely different personalities. Jiang Xingni is now seen as a superhuman by everyone, while Lu Ming is a genuine ordinary person who cannot even be seen by monsters.
If Lu Ming is indeed a replacement for Jiang Xingni after her death, then Jiang Xingni must admit, this move was truly...
The more popular Jiang Xingni is, the more infamy Lu Ming will receive as a replacement.
There may be readers who genuinely like Lu Ming and become her fans, but in the future, whenever Jiang Xingni and Lu Ming appear together on forums or in communities, it will definitely cause one chaotic battle after another.
Jiang Xingni was absolutely certain about this.
If Jiang Xingni doesn't have much popularity, then Lu Ming certainly won't annoy people. But why did the screenwriter create the character Lu Ming?
She could have had her own story, her own past, instead of having a past so similar to Jiang Xingni's, which created an unnecessary rift between them.
Jiang Xingni seemed to realize what the screenwriter was thinking.
It's simply a matter of controlling variables.
Despite growing up in such circumstances, Jiang Xingni managed to break free from the screenwriter's pen and take it from her.
She wanted to know if creating a similar character would result in a similar ending.
Jiang Xingni is still the exception.
Jiang Xingni put herself in the screenwriter's shoes and imagined what it would be like if her creation broke free from her control.
Jiang Xingni would indeed do such a thing.
—Is the problem with the development of the story, or with that character?
Should we avoid this direction of story development in the future, or can we rest easy once we get rid of this character?
The thought lingered in Jiang Xingni's mind before she suppressed it.
Regardless of the screenwriter's intentions, Lu Ming is the innocent one.
To imagine an innocent person as a substitute for oneself without any evidence—Jiang Xingni silently cursed himself in his heart—was going a bit too far!
*
Although they couldn't get Lu Ming to leave with them, Jiang Xingni and his group's mission was not yet over.
Staring at Jiang Xingni, who was completely covered up, Shan Qingshantang and the others, who were about to take off their masks to catch their breath, looked at each other for a while, and finally obediently continued to wear their masks.
"Is Jiang Xingni also a member of the Hidden Order Society?" Shan Tang suddenly asked.
It's still a voice similar to Shanqing's—originally, after being converted by a voice changer, especially when these voice changers are all from the same channel, they always become very similar, making it difficult to distinguish whether it's a man or a woman.
If Jiang Xingni hadn't been able to see their real faces through their masks, she probably would have confused them as well.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xingni, who was running back beside them, paused for a moment.
Then the brain starts working at lightning speed.
They didn't directly suspect that Jiang Xingni was the man in black, which was exactly what Jiang Xingni had expected.
One has the ability to see through the truth, and the other has the ability to replicate. Who would have thought that the two of them are the same person?
However, Jiang Xingni was not prepared to get too involved with the organization created by his pseudonym.
"Is this important to you?" Jiang Xing glanced sideways and asked in a cold tone.
Shan Qing smiled and leaned closer, saying, "Don't be so cold. We mean no harm."
"It's just that you know our purpose in coming here is to find Jiang Xingni's parents' belongings, and I'm just curious." Shan Qing's eyes were fixed on Jiang Xingni.
"This isn't something that can't be denied."
At their pace, it didn't take long before they saw Jiang Xingni's house.
Jiang Xingni's tone remained calm: "If I can know Lu Ming, then I can naturally know Jiang Xingni."
"As for Jiang Qishi and Ji Hanzhang," Jiang Xingni turned his head and smiled leisurely at them—although they couldn't see the smile on Jiang Xingni's face, they could completely understand it. "Isn't this what you mentioned?"
"You've already said you're here for Jiang Qishi and Ji Hanzhang. Considering their identities, what you really want is quite obvious."
Shan Qing was silent for a moment, then her gaze fell on Jiang Xingni: "You know their identities."
Jiang Xingni remained calm: "You may have forgotten, but I haven't, just like the deer's cry."
—He was speechless as he descended the mountain.
She had only recently remembered Jiang Qishi and Ji Hanzhang, and to this day she still couldn't recall what Lu Ming's parents were, whose orders they had taken to get here, or what kind of bright future they should have had.
Shanqing didn't ask any more questions.
Jiang Xingni also breathed a sigh of relief.
She knew that since saying more would only lead to more mistakes, and remaining silent would only make people think that her guess was correct, she might as well keep them from asking any questions.
She felt that she might not be good at other things, but she was very good at provocation and touching people's hearts.
Jiang Xingni slipped back through the window that had been opened when he left, before anyone had closed it.
Her voice, through the mask and the window, reached Shanqing's ears from inside the house.
"How many people are there in the 49th Bureau? Do you... even know how to answer that question?"
Of course I won't answer.
Jiang Xingni didn't expect them to tell her the whole truth just because of one of her questions.
Shan Qing naturally did not reply.
She recalled the question she had just asked the man in black—"Is Jiang Xingni a member of your Hidden Order Society?"
The mountain scenery was rather disappointing.
It's not that I regret asking such a question.
Instead, he was simply regretting that he should have been more careful and waited until he found out what kind of personality the Hidden Order character really had before asking questions.
Otherwise, it would be unreasonable for me to ask such a question.
Shan Qing seriously examined himself in his heart.
Following closely behind was Jiang Xingni's second sentence.
"If this continues, I will begin to doubt the authenticity of your cooperation with me."
Shan Qing shrugged and followed Jiang Xingni, chasing after her as she jumped in through the window.
I stood in the bedroom.
To be honest, after being bombarded with questions by the person in front of him, Shan Qing still didn't know whether Jiang Xingni was a member of the Hidden Order Society or not.
All she could tell was that Jiang Xingni and the man in black had some connection.
She couldn't determine anything else.
After listening to Jiang Xingni's rambling nonsense and her stern questioning, the system teased her, "How does it feel to lie?"
—I really don't have any ideas.
Jiang Xingni pondered for a moment, then said quietly, "It feels rather strange to call myself by my own name."
