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

Chapter 264 Lu Xianqing

This wasn't the first time Jiang Xingni had entered a dungeon.

The panel in front of me still displays similar handwriting as before.

However, the person who created the building later changed from [Shu Yangqiu] to a series of question marks around the names.

Jiang Xingni narrowed his eyes. In his eyes, the pure white portal occasionally revealed some gray and black specks, like the mosaic effect seen when a television malfunctioned in his youth.

As expected, it follows the main storyline, with not only the inevitable events but also hidden storylines.

Jiang Xing glanced at this point in his mind a few times, and then devised a plan for what kind of storyline he should follow this time.

After entering the instance, in just a few breaths, Jiang Xingni's vision changed from a blank space to a residential area.

It's a very ordinary residential area, much more peaceful than the place where Jiang Xingni grew up.

Jiang Xingni immediately looked around—based on previous experience, even if everyone entered the instance exam at the same time and in the same place… no matter what you call it, the people around you might not be the same group that accompanied you at the beginning.

She's not the kind of person who needs companions by her side.

However, for Jiang Xingni, if he didn't stay near Xiao Jiming and the others, his role would likely be reduced. To stand out among so many people, not only in exams but also in the comics, would definitely be more difficult and thankless than staying around the main characters.

Very well, Murphy's Law has worked its magic, and what Jiang Xingni didn't want has come true.

She sighed regretfully, not finding any familiar faces or hair colors around her.

There weren't even any strangers.

Her original idea was that it would be best if she could be assigned to the main characters' side, so she could get some screen time. Although the potential was limited, at least she could be guaranteed not to be sidelined this time.

The current situation has successfully forced Jiang Xingni into the second path.

Without a main cast, to get screen time and screen time, one must be deeply involved in the main storyline.

Furthermore, since the main plot of the dungeon revolves around passing the final exam, Jiang Xingni would have to find another way to get the corresponding role.

Jiang Xingni lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment before investigating the hidden main storyline within the entire instance—perhaps she could even give her alternate identity a chance to appear, and then, when it appeared next, she could cultivate the alternate identity into a villainous boss, letting the alternate identity decide the next hidden main storyline.

Then Jiang Xingni shook his head.

The potential returns are high, but the risks are also great. Who wouldn't be tempted by such potential returns? Jiang Xingni was determined to take the gamble.

Jiang Xingni raised his wrist, looking at the task that had been issued.

She really felt like she was playing a holographic game, with the semi-transparent screen on her wrist categorizing the various items.

【Task】

[Ranking]

Compared to the last time she entered the dungeon, this time it was clearly much more advanced.

After all, it was a joint exam of three schools, and nearly three thousand people participated in the exam. The characters who made up the entire instance were all leaders from the three schools, and they wanted to get the opportunity to sneak in under these circumstances.

VOID, Jiang Xing thought to himself.

—It can't be you again, can it?

She didn't continue speculating about these possibilities, but instead directly opened the taskbar.

[Main Task: Earn points, defeat all participants, and complete the midterm exam. When you defeat another participant, their points will be automatically transferred to your account, and they will be automatically eliminated.]

[Points Mission: Investigate the truth behind the death; completion will reward you with relevant clues]

Current points: 0

In the map, everyone is just a small dot, except for Jiang Xingni himself, who is marked in green, everyone else is red.

She can see the names of people she knows.

Xiao Jiming, Song Juexiao, Su Yanzhi, Pei Zhaoye... the main characters need no further introduction.

The supporting cast, including Zhai Lequ, Ye Xunnan, and Jiang Fuyuan, were naturally also within Jiang Xingni's field of vision.

What Jiang Xingni didn't expect was that even minor characters like Tang Xiaoxing, who didn't occupy much space in the entire comic, were also displayed next to the red dot, constantly showing their status.

Therefore, these names were not discovered by the Eye of Truth, but rather what the writers wanted to show to the three-dimensional readers outside of the comics.

It was something that came with the instance itself, originally intended to be shown to Jiang Xingni—and other participants with the same identity as Jiang Xingni.

Once you get to know someone, you can find their image on the map. Even if you don't know anyone, the map can still warn everyone that someone is quietly approaching.

Jiang Xingni's initial idea of ​​using this hidden storyline to give Longinus some screen time is probably not going to work out. Jiang Xingni isn't prepared to reveal his true identity so early, especially during a school's midterm exam. It just seems a bit too low-class and lacking in sophistication!

Wait until the map becomes unusable.

That's when Longinus can finally make his appearance.

Before Jiang Xingni could even check his ranking, he suddenly noticed a red dot rapidly moving toward him—a green dot.

Her pupils contracted, and she instinctively jumped backward.

In this old residential building, although it was not the place where Jiang Xingni was raised, it was still somewhat similar. Jiang Xingni kicked the wall in mid-air with great familiarity and used the momentum to land on the railing.

"Lu Xianqing." Jiang Xing glanced at the girl in front of him with short white hair, silver eyes, and a burning gaze fixed on him, and immediately realized who she was.

She had suspected before that the girl who might become a member of the main group was someone Pei Zhaoye had specifically mentioned, who seemed to have the ability to resurrect.

If a person cannot die, how can they be eliminated? Will their points really be reset to zero upon their death?

Jiang Xingni raised an eyebrow with some interest.

What Jiang Xingni was even more curious about was, since they were all unarmed, how was she going to fight her? Did she really have to go into battle bare-handed?

The thought had barely crossed Jiang Xingni's mind when Lu Xianqing's actions gave her the answer.

The little girl with white hair and silver eyes broke off her own arm and then used the bone as a weapon.

Jiang Xingni: ...? Wait a minute.

She had seen Ye Xunnan use a similar reckless fighting style before, relying on his ability to heal himself, and now, a similar tactic was being repeated on Lu Xianqing.
