Chapter 236 The Car
The screenwriter said that someone should die at this point.
So Shan Qingyi rushed towards his death without hesitation.
Jiang Xingni rarely felt so powerless.
She knew this was in a comic book.
No matter what kind of plot developments occur, ultimately, they are all for the purpose of advancing the plot.
However, Jiang Xingni could not understand what kind of development Shan Qing's death had driven.
She did keep her promise and didn't let her teammates die.
Two of the few superhumans in the forty-nine bureaus were in her team.
She prevented the two superhumans from dying in the lower city because of her volunteering.
Even Shan Qing's initiative to come to the Lower City District yielded positive results—they obtained Ji Hanzhang and Jiang Qishi's research data, and they learned about VOID's clues.
Jiang Xing glanced at the water.
All the threads connecting Shanqing to her body have broken.
Only a thin, crimson thread fluttered from her body, spreading towards the direction of VOID's pursuers in the distance.
Jiang Xingni and Shan Qing didn't have a good relationship, so naturally he didn't know what kind of scheme she had set up.
It will only take effect after her death.
Jiang Xingni could only feel anger.
The screenwriter's trickery, the inevitability of fate, and the feelings for the mountains.
Why can't you just listen to her? Why do you have to act on your own?!
All the black mist was withdrawn from the living and the dead.
They all rushed towards the surging river and the mountains that perished within it.
Jiang Xingni instinctively wanted to hug Lu Ming tightly in his arms.
At least among the people she encountered in the lower city, she had to take one of them with her to escape her predetermined fate, right?
But Lu Ming disappeared from her arms.
Because it's not part of the main storyline of the comic, and because Xiao Jiming isn't here, no readers are watching, so even if there's a bug, it doesn't matter.
Just like Jiang Xingni, if she were only Jiang Xingni, she would never be able to leave the main group. Even though everyone else can leave normally, she would always run into an invisible wall when she tried to leave.
Jiang Xingni felt even more resentful upon thinking about this.
She even extended her hatred to Lu Ming and Xiao Jiming, adding them to her list of enemies.
[...] The system could sense Jiang Xingni's turbulent emotions and cautiously offered some advice. "Uh, actually, if you weren't bound to me, you'd probably be the same way."
Being swept up by the plot, one has no choice but to act.
Jiang Xing smiled smugly.
"Don't say anything." She stared at the empty space in front of her, as if nothing had happened, and took a deep breath. "Otherwise, I'll start cursing you too."
The system sheepishly shut down.
A few minutes later, she finally saw the other members of the mountain rescue team.
"..." Everyone fell into an unusual silence.
"We have ten minutes until the next pursuers arrive," Shan Zhi said in a low voice. "We have to go."
So Jiang Xingni led them away.
She turned around.
All that could be seen were ripples on the river surface stirred up by the wind, and the still-flowing black mist.
"When Jiang Xingni comes next time, she should be able to see the mountain scenery that has turned into a monster," Jiang Xingni said to the system in her mind.
The system responded with an "uh-huh".
It knew that Jiang Xingni just needed one thing right now—even if it wasn't it, a banana would do—to talk.
"I need a Spear of Longinus," Jiang Xingni continued to say softly to himself.
She needs a god-slaying spear.
Assassinate the gods, assassinate the upper echelons of the narrative, assassinate this damned fate and plot.
"I need a gun."
*
The screenwriter was quite pleased with himself when he finished writing the background story of the downtown area.
"But this Longinus," she pondered. "I don't know why, but I always get a feeling of Jiang Xingni about him."
—It's not that their words and actions are particularly similar.
It's just that this kind of feeling, which can also escape her control, is as if it has come to life under her pen.
"So Jiang Xingni isn't the special one?" The screenwriter fell into deep thought.
However, she liked Longinus much more than Jiang Xingni.
Longinus is a villain, so she won't steal much of Xiao Jiming's popularity, whom she cares about, nor will she receive any protection from the main characters.
If one day she really hates this person, she can just find an opportunity to kill him off in a plot twist.
It's like the feelings for the mountains.
The screenwriter felt smug again at the thought of Shan Qing's death.
"Teacher..." the assistant asked quietly, looking at the plot outline. "Why does Shan Qing have to die?"
She actually quite liked the character Shanqing and even thought that Shanqing could become a representative character in another organization.
The screenwriter heard what the assistant said and answered confidently.
"Because I want her dead."
"I created her precisely to kill her."
"I just wanted to try writing a memorable supporting character, and then try to kill her off with the fewest words possible, to see how the readers would react."
"Hmm... I feel like this part of the story could be made into a short story, otherwise I won't be able to see the readers' reactions."
"Well enough……"
The screenwriter enthusiastically jotted down his ideas on paper.
Shan Qing's last thought before her death was probably about Jiang Xingni...
After writing down the three characters "Jiang Xingni," the screenwriter suddenly fell into deep thought.
—Wait a minute, why is she bringing up Jiang Xingni again?
Fine, Jiang Xingni it is. Anyway, Jiang Xingni is going to die sooner or later.
Shan Qing's last thought before her death was probably that she hadn't truly seen her friend's daughter and didn't know what kind of person Jiang Xingni really was.
The screenwriter carefully analyzed Shanqing's character and impression in his mind.
Shan Qing only saw Jiang Xingni's file on paper.
All her feelings toward Jiang Xingni stemmed from her transference of affection for her friend.
However, even with this view, if Shan Qing were to actually meet Jiang Xingni, things would definitely change somewhat.
The words on the archives are different from actual interactions.
Based on the character she created for Shan Qing, if Shan Qing were to spend some time with Jiang Xing Ni, she would definitely develop feelings for Jiang Xing Ni and fall in love with him.
Therefore, the screenwriter never gave Shan Qing a chance to fall in love with Jiang Xingni or have a real interaction with him.
She just hasn't met Jiang Xingni yet.
All of Jiang Xingni's impressions came from ten years ago, when Shan Qing was brought home by Ji Hanzhang as a guest, and the young girl looked up at her.
She obediently called her "Auntie," but Shanqing could tell that her eyes were full of wariness towards him, a stranger.
The screenwriter's fingers tapped lightly on the keyboard, the ideas in his mind waiting to be perfected later.
"Shanqing has taken care of all the responsibilities of living."
"Whether it's Ji Hanzhang's experimental report or what the team should do after her death."
"So the last thought that came to Shan Qing's mind was..."
"She didn't even have a chance to glance at Jiang Xingnv."
The screenwriter has finished writing.
Then press Enter.
