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

Chapter 257 Then 1 Trial

Just like words containing censored words are immediately blocked and lose all trace of existence once sent on the Internet.

The same principle applies to anime.

Once you became aware of its existence, it had already noticed you.

Some anisophoras eventually make people forget their origin, while others ultimately erase the person from the world.

"We can't handle this," the person beside him said anxiously, their eyes filled with terror. "No, I need to request to leave this instance."

She screamed as she spoke.

"Teacher, teacher, did you hear me? I said I want to leave!! I don't want to stay in this instance anymore!!"

The teacher's voice suddenly rang in her ears.

"Are you sure? If you give up now, your participation grade will be reset to zero, the final grade requirement will be higher, and you'll have to retake the course next year—do you want to repeat it next year?"

The other party remained silent for a while.

Both Jiang Xingni and the teachers outside the instance could see the obvious sign of retreat on her face.

She was really scared of this monster.

She had grown up listening to this strange story since she started school.

It's important to know that when fighting this monster, they mobilized those special ability users outside the academy who specialize in fighting monsters. Even so, many people still sacrificed their lives. In the end, the monster even self-destructed, causing the entire city to be affected by the antimemetic effect, and it disappeared from all records and rumors.

A city, millions of people, died so easily, leaving no trace of their existence.

"I'll stay." Jiang Xing turned his head away, his gaze sweeping lightly over her.

Jiang Xingni still remembered her name.

Although he has lost the Eye of Truth now, Jiang Xingni clearly remembers the information that the Eye of Truth displayed in his eyes at the very beginning.

Tang Xiaoxing, a simple name, with a simple appearance, is just a passerby, a tool to highlight the protagonist.

She can be cowardly, she can cry, she can feel lost, and she can back down.

"The real monsters have long been defeated, and even their abnormal characteristics have been thoroughly analyzed by humans. They have now been made into replicas, copies, for future generations to hone their skills and then face even more monsters."

Jiang Xingni asked the question in a very calm tone.

"I have no reason to back down."

Even when they knew nothing about it, they were able to successfully discover the monster's weakness and then kill it.

Despite the loss of millions of lives, humanity ultimately achieved a Pyrrhic victory.

Now that Jiang Xingni has the information that Tang Xiaoxing might provide, she feels she has even less reason to back down.

Tang Xiaoxing turned her head to look at Jiang Xingni and glared at him fiercely.

Tang Xiaoxing thought to herself that Jiang Xingni had no idea how dangerous these things were.

Although many people say that the monsters in the dungeon are all replicas, the result of technology, and all fake.

But who can guarantee that the replicated monsters won't have enough power to erode the entire instance into the real world?

Is there anything that is absolutely safe and perfect?

But... Jiang Xingni said that, and she's only been at Taixu Academy for a short time!

Driven by her competitive nature, Tang Xiaoxing refused to be second to anyone. She gritted her teeth, took a step forward, and finally stood beside Jiang Xingni.

Her voice was still trembling slightly with fear: "Then, then I won't quit."

Her gaze remained fixed on Jiang Xingni.

"It's not because of what you said, it's actually because I'm really afraid of failing the course."

"I'm going to do interviews outside the school next semester, so I don't want to have to take extra classes at school because of failing a course."

Jiang Xing glanced at Tang Xiaoxing with a complicated expression, but didn't expose her obviously fabricated lie.

"Okay," she said softly. "It's just because I'm afraid of failing, it has nothing to do with me."

Tang Xiaoxing listened to Jiang Xingni's retelling and nodded fiercely, whether to convince Jiang Xingni or to convince herself.

In any case, Jiang Xingni couldn't tell the difference.

The teacher's figure slowly disappeared, and time resumed its flow throughout the instance.

Tang Xiaoxing smelled sweat and smoke again.

She suppressed her nausea and, as soon as the elevator arrived, pulled Jiang Xing out. Then she randomly found a tea room and went inside.

"This strange thing is related to that meteorite crater." After considering for a while, Tang Xiaoxing revealed the relevant information she knew to Jiang Xingni.

All of this is publicly available information.

Everything related to anime, from how it was discovered to the different solutions proposed by everyone, and how many people ultimately died because of this anime monster, taking it with them but also causing the entire city to disappear...

All of this information is publicly available.

Tang Xiaoxing regarded them as key points for the exam and memorized the relevant materials countless times.

Now, she transcribed this information and handed it to Jiang Xingni.

"Is it that simple?" Jiang Xingni asked thoughtfully. "The teacher wanted us to discover the monster's weaknesses."

As a result, they chose this bizarre creature, and its information has basically been made public.

Then what's the point of taking exams?

Tang Xiaoxing was furious.

"No, although most of the information related to this monster has been made public, and we know that it is related to anime—but how exactly this monster was solved in the first place is still classified information, and we don't know it anyway."

"The teacher is too harsh," Tang Xiaoxing complained softly. "Using such a difficult question as the exam paper!"

Jiang Xingnian remained noncommittal.

She mentally reviewed the strange encounter—to be honest, among all the strange encounters Jiang Xingni had experienced, this one, whose code name was unknown and whose only known ability was related to the anti-meme "blocked words," was truly unique.

Do you know where the meteorite is?

She asked Tang Xiaoxing, who was standing next to her.

"..." Tang Xiaoxing and she looked at each other for a moment, then Tang Xiaoxing asked subconsciously, "What meteorite crater... no, I think I know what that is."

Jiang Xing squinted.

The concept of anisometics has been launched.

Tang Xiaoxing was detected by the monster when she was explaining the concept of anime to her, and the fragmented memories she has now are proof of that.

But she still remembered that she had just explained to Jiang Xingni—explained what again?

She's still working—no, she's taking exams, which is why she's in this state now…

"Is this strange thing related to animetics?" Tang Xiaoxing asked vaguely. "...A meteorite crater, the meteorite crater is in the suburbs."
