Chapter 259 Coexisting with Geniuses
Chapter 259 Coexisting with Geniuses
Taking advantage of the brief moment when the woman opposite him was distracted by Tang Xiaoxing's words, Jiang Xingni went to the time clock and scanned his face to clock in.
"Xiaoxing, Xiaoxing," Jiang Xingni called out, pulling Tang Xiaoxing along. "Oh dear, I just remembered where we're supposed to check off our photos! We're on the wrong floor!"
Tang Xiaoxing stared blankly at Jiang Xingni.
Although she didn't quite understand why Jiang Xingni did this, Tang Xiaoxing had always been a very obedient child.
She didn't know when, but she had begun to trust Jiang Xingni.
Not as a competitor, but as someone in the same team, Tang Xiaoxing had subconsciously come to regard her as the team leader.
"Why should we..." Before Tang Xiaoxing could finish her question, Jiang Xingni already knew what she wanted to ask.
Jiang Xingni didn't turn around, but calmly explained, "The check-in has been mentioned more than once. It's probably some kind of rule that these NPCs in the dungeon follow. But what's most important to us now is the monster. We've found out where the monster is, so there's no need to get entangled with them too much."
In other words, they just casually brushed off the check-in rules and slipped away, ignoring any tasks that came up next. Once they were both affected by the anisotropic effect, no one in the entire company would remember them.
Whatever rules the company has, they have nothing to do with Jiang Xingni.

"Jiang Xingni... no wonder he's from Class S." The teacher of this course stared at the projection of Jiang Xingni and Tang Xiaoxing's performance and sighed softly. "He's certainly worthy of being in the same class as Xiao Jiming and his group."
On the other side, Lin Hongguang sat opposite her, casually glancing at the performance of the two people on the screen.
"You actually chose an anisocytogen? Do you really think that two students can solve the anisocytogen abnormality that caused such great harm decades ago?" Lin Hongguang raised an eyebrow.
It wasn't that Lin Hongguang looked down on his students.
To be honest, Lin Hongguang didn't believe that any of the students who ventured into this instance, whether it was Xiao Jiming, Xie Yungui, or the other members of the main group he knew, could defeat this monster that the country had sacrificed countless lives to stop its spread and finally manage to kill.
"Disappeared without a trace, huh?" Shu Yangqiu chuckled, his gaze slowly drifting away from the projection. "I've already given them a lot of leeway, and as long as they can figure out how they solved the 'disappeared without a trace' problem back then, I can confirm that they've both passed the level."
There are 28 people in the class—29 if you include Jiang Xingni.
Only Jiang Xingni and Tang Xiaoxing were the first to find the correct answer and then resolutely continued on their way.
The others were either confused about where the monster was or trapped in place by their assigned initial identities.
Shu Yangqiu shook his head as he looked at the others' performance.
"They're in trouble," she said with a smile, her tone neither warm nor cold.
Lin Hongguang then shifted his gaze from the projection to Shu Yangqiu's expression.
"What do you mean?" Lin Hongguang asked. "Isn't this a puzzle-solving instance? You've already banned all their superpowers, are you really going to make them fight monsters?"
Shu Yangqiu glanced at Lin Hongguang with a smile.
Lin Hongguang wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt like he could see a clear "Can't you use your brain?" and "I really don't want to talk to an idiot, it's so annoying" in those eyes.
"Not now," Shu Yangqiu explained reluctantly.
"Not now, not inside the instance."
What Shu Yangqiu could see was a much more distant period.
She taught Xiao Jiming last semester, and before that, Su Yanzhi and Song Juexiao were also her students.
Among the students in Class S of Taixu Academy this year, only Jiang Xingni, He Jingtong, and Xie Yungui had never been her students, and she didn't know what kind of strength these three people possessed.
And now, she finally saw Jiang Xingni's performance.
Upon realizing the anime, they immediately dissuaded Tang Xiaoxing from backing down. They also quickly recognized the loopholes in the initial identities that were trying to trap them and escaped.
These few things alone are enough to make Shu Yangqiu raise her rating of Jiang Xingni even higher in her mind.
Not to mention Song Juexiao and the others, whom she actually spent more than a semester, or even more years with.
He Jingtong was selected as a member of Class S from the very beginning, so he must be quite capable.
Xie Yungui... She possesses a similar prophetic ability, and Xie Yungui's prophetic ability is even more advanced than hers. Xie Yungui is the only one among this group whose abilities she did not doubt before meeting her.
"I'm talking about these kids." Shu Yangqiu chuckled lazily. "It's not so great to be born at the same time as geniuses."
To witness geniuses firsthand, and to live in the same era as such geniuses, is both a blessing and a curse.
They were able to witness the glory of an era firsthand.
However, its own light is too weak, and when it is next to the sun, it is easily overwhelmed by the sun's brilliance.
"Times are changing," Shu Yangqiu suddenly said.
His gaze became enigmatic.
The pale blue light gradually obscured the original color of the eyes.
She stared into the void, her tone dazed.
"A complete upheaval, a rebirth from the ashes, the shackles of fate will be broken, and everyone will be reborn."
Lin Hongguang never expected that Shu Yangqiu would trigger the prophecy at such a time.
He moved closer.
"What does this mean? Who will face death? What are the shackles of fate, and why are they for everyone?"
—But it's too slow.
The moment he leaned closer, wanting to ask more questions and get a detailed answer, the blue in Shu Yangqiu's eyes completely disappeared.
Her expression changed from blank to gentle as she smiled at Lin Hongguang.
"Looks like you're still a step too late."
Lin Hongguang nodded in agreement, confirming that this was indeed the case.
Shu Yangqiu's superpower is related to prophecy, but this superpower is uncontrollable. Even Shu Yangqiu himself does not know when his superpower will be activated and he will briefly obtain some clues about the future.
【oracle】.
This is how some people describe Shu Yangqiu's supernatural abilities.
However, Shu Yangqiu prefers to call his special ability "a prophecy fulfilled in a single word".
"They've actually arrived..." Shu Yangqiu glanced at the projection and suddenly widened her eyes.
"Isn't this... what are they trying to do?"
Just now, Shu Yangqiu and Lin Hongguang, one activated his superpower and the other rushed over, but no one continued to observe the projection.
Time in the instance flows rapidly once it is no longer being observed.
"...Should we bring them both back?" Shu Yangqiu asked softly.
Lin Hongguang shook his head.
"Let them continue."
—They really seem to be able to do it!
