A mysterious realm descends, and I defy fate in comics.

Chapter 24 You two-dimensional characters don't lose your hair...

We arrived in Luzhou in the early hours of the morning.

Jiang Xingni suddenly realized that since meeting the main characters, he had been unable to maintain his usual regular routine.

She and Pei Zhaoye slept soundly on the high-speed train, and she didn't wake up until the train arrived at the station.

The golden-eyed girl asked in a low, languid tone, "Is this how you all live behind the curtain?"

Jiang Xingni asked the question very frankly.

Jiang Xingni asked this question for a reason. Looking at Pei Zhaoye's appearance—sleeping in a crooked position just like her—it didn't seem like he was used to it.

When Pei Zhaoye woke up and saw Jiang Xingni, he was a little confused.

Then his memories gradually returned. Pei Zhaoye stared at Jiang Xingni's eyes for a while before answering, "Under the curtain? That's an interesting phrase."

"How could it always be like this!" the boy retorted confidently, before adding the real reason. "This day-night reversal is only a small percentage of cases."

Pei Zhaoye said, then yawned, "If we all kept our days and nights upside down for a long time, we'd all be losing our hair from staying up late, wouldn't we?"

"This situation is an exception when we're on a mission, since there are still people waiting for us to rescue, and we don't have much time to rest."

Jiang Xing glanced at Pei Zhaoye and could almost imagine how real-world readers would react when this scene appeared in the comic.

—It's nothing more than some comments expressing sympathy and praising how cute they are.

[Babies, you paper-thin characters don't lose hair!]

[If that old scoundrel dares to make you lose your hair, I'll come to his house with a knife!]

Jiang Xingni casually brushed aside the topic, her gaze fixed on the scenery outside the car window.

In the early morning, the night still enveloped the city that Jiang Xingni and Pei Zhaoye were about to enter, but a faint red glow could indeed be seen on the horizon.

It was indeed getting close to dawn.

"What's the plan?" Pei Zhaoye turned his head away, not looking at the upcoming sunrise outside the window, but just staring at Jiang Xingni.

Jiang Xingni's golden eyes were slightly illuminated by the light coming from the window.

"Let's go to the scene first," Jiang Xingni said. "Have you figured out what the purpose of that blank book was?"

Although she and the main characters were indeed the first to come into contact with the so-called wordless book, Jiang Xingni was still self-aware.

—She really didn't know much about wordless books.

All that is known is that this thing is classified as a "strange object," and it is the culprit that caused the entire Nanshan Village to fall, leading to the emergence of the strange realm and affecting the birth of strange monsters.

But Jiang Xingni knew nothing more.

She has always been quick to accept her identity. Now she is trying to subtly prove her worth to the main characters and the audience outside the real world, striving to join the main characters without leaving any trace or negative impression.

Under these circumstances, it's not a big deal for the main characters to keep some information from themselves.

In any case, Jiang Xingni himself did not tell Pei Zhaoye and the others everything.

Then, to Jiang Xingni's surprise, Pei Zhaoye raised the corners of his lips: "Do you think we have any new information that we would keep from you?"

Jiang Xingni: ?

Jiang Xingni's brain paused for a moment, then continued to analyze Pei Zhaoye's words, and the more she analyzed, the more she felt that she had misheard.

Pei Zhaoye didn't notice the subtle change in Jiang Xingni's expression, but instead turned on his laptop.

My fingers flew across the keyboard, typing away at one interface after another.

It was only at this moment that Jiang Xingni realized—oh, right, this person's superpower is related to electronic manipulation.

"Your special ability?" Jiang Xing asked, raising an eyebrow.

Pei Zhaoye's fingers, which were typing on the keyboard, suddenly paused. In the brief pause, he looked up and smiled at Jiang Xingni: "Oh, our Miss Truth didn't use any special abilities?"

He rotated his wrist and then said, "I'm not using any superpowers right now, Star."

broken.

Jiang Xing didn't show it on his face, but he was slightly annoyed inside.

Her eyes crinkled almost instantly: "Really? After all, I've never seen you activate your powers."

Jiang Xingni wasn't sure if she could see the activation trajectory of supernatural abilities, but based on her observations over the past period, she couldn't do it now.

Although Pei Zhaoye and Xiao Jiming rarely used their supernatural abilities in Nanshan Village, one reason was the geographical limitation, and the other was that the protagonists often appeared last.

But one thing is significant.

Jiang Xingni can see the connections between many things and the trajectory of upcoming actions.

However, she really couldn't see any trace of the power being activated. Perhaps through this guidance, she could acquire this ability herself?

"So, your eyes can only tell whether I can use superpowers after I've used them—after I've used them in front of you?" Jiang Xingni hadn't even had time to patch up his new ability before Pei Zhaoye finished filling in the blanks in his mind.

Jiang Xingni controlled her expression well, maintaining that smile without nodding or shaking her head.

Since things have come to this point, of course we should just admit it!

Looking at the smile on her face, Pei Zhaoye naturally felt that he had guessed correctly.

His smile became more flamboyant, no longer the innocent look he had previously deliberately imitated Jiang Xingni, but rather more youthful and spirited.

"Although hacking in is a piece of cake for me, I can do it without my special abilities." Jiang Xingni's ability didn't trigger the alarm. Pei Zhaoye was boasting, but he was also telling the truth; he wasn't lying. "But I also want you to see my special abilities."

Jiang Xing glanced at the golden dot in front of her without any change, and she wasn't too disappointed. It was probably because the new comic hadn't been updated yet. Even if her abilities weren't enhanced because of Pei Zhaoye—anyway, she hadn't nodded just now, so it was up to Pei Zhaoye and the readers in the real world to interpret it as they wished.

The little girl thought to herself with a sense of self-righteousness.

More eye-catching than the gold points brought by these supernatural abilities is what appears on the laptop screen.

It wasn't the interface that appeared when Pei Zhaoye hacked in earlier, but something even more... floating.

While Pei Zhaoye's hacking process may be incomprehensible, it is still possible to discern that there was a process involved.

Using supernatural abilities is even purer; there's no process, and the desired result is presented directly.

Pei Zhaoye explained briefly: "When I first awakened my superpower, I thought it would improve my skills..."

However, it was obvious that even Jiang Xingni could see that it was of no help, since the use of supernatural abilities did not even provide a process, but only gave the result directly.

This was exactly the information about the "wordless book" that Jiang Xingni and Pei Zhaoye had been searching for.

“They didn’t tell us,” Pei Zhaoye shrugged. “Kid, as always. Even though their cybersecurity is negligible under my watch.”
