Chapter 269 Longinus is back with a job
The system genuinely hadn't expected this either.
Who could have predicted that the characters they created would seem to come to life?
Who could have imagined that after realizing this, the screenwriter not only didn't think it was her fantasy, but actually made it a reality?
Then she arranged this scene to declare war on the characters she created.
Using this method to tell Jiang Xingni, "I already know you know, you'd better stop holding onto your previous ideas, just surrender and wait for the end I've arranged for you, isn't that better?"
Of course not.
"Isn't this a good thing?" Jiang Xingni smiled softly as she glanced casually at the horizon.
She didn't know if this glance would be included in the comic's panels, nor did she know if the screenwriter would realize that Jiang Xing's glance was directed at her.
Just as the screenwriter had set all this up, it was unclear whether Jiang Xingni would obediently follow the screenwriter's instructions and walk into the room.
If Jiang Xingni had never awakened and had simply followed the script—in other words, fate—the scriptwriter would naturally not have had this idea. But now, Jiang Xingni has decided to change her destiny.
She wondered if the screenwriter, when realizing all this and arranging the script, ever felt a moment of bewilderment, unsure if everything would unfold as she had imagined.
"Now we all know who our opponents are," Jiang Xingni thought to himself slowly.
She has reached a place that her parents never reached in their entire lives.
She traveled such a long road, stealing so much attention from readers that should have belonged to Xiao Jiming, Song Juexiao, and He Jingtong, before finally being noticed by the screenwriter.
She was finally seen as an equal by the screenwriter—her creator—rather than someone who could be manipulated at will, forcibly sacrificed for the sake of the story's development, or placed as a tool or cannon fodder who went against her wishes.
Jiang Xingni was not the first person to learn the truth about this world.
She is indeed intelligent.
But even among the most intelligent people, there are countless others in the world.
Moreover, Jiang Xingni had long known that her parents were actually much smarter than she was.
Jiang Qishi had long been aware that the entire world was actually being observed by people.
But even if you realize it, it doesn't make any difference.
Unable to save himself and his wife from the monsters, he ultimately became cannon fodder in the script written by the screenwriter.
The system was bewildered.
The system had no idea what the meaning behind Jiang Xingni's words was.
Regardless of its meaning, after a moment's thought, the system firmly stated: "The stars are right!"
……Fine.
Jiang Xingni was truly speechless for a moment because of the system's five clearly enunciated words. The system had completely forgotten what she originally wanted to say, and all her words were shut down by the system.
She gently rubbed her temples, too lazy to pay attention to the system.
The next dozen or so posts were all silent, filled only with onomatopoeic laughter coming from posts with random numbers.
ill.
Jiang Xingni made a judgment in his heart.
The last comment was posted at exactly 10:47.
32L: The last one died too? Oh dear, then we won't have anything to eat anymore.
The moment Jiang Xingni's gaze fell upon those words, time suddenly began to flow.
Dust particles floated slightly in front of Jiang Xingni's eyes with his exhaled breath.
Jiang Xingni's footprints, as he walked in, gradually left their mark on the thin layer of dust.
It was as if there was an invisible person, imitating Jiang Xingni's steps step by step, but forgetting to wipe away their own footprints.
The body slowly began to swell, no longer resembling what Jiang Xingni had just seen, as if she had simply fallen asleep.
His skin turned bluish-purple, and blood flowed backward from his seven orifices.
If I had to use an analogy, it would be like you were browsing an art exhibition.
But the further they walked, the fewer people there were, while the number of people in the painting increased.
Finally, all the people in the painting turn their heads and smile at you, their eyes fixed on you.
You went from being an observer to being part of the painting.
The moment Jiang Xingni's gaze fell upon the scene, he transformed from a character outside the frame into someone within it.
Dimensional reduction.
Although not entirely accurate, this was the first word that came to Jiang Xingni's mind at that moment.
I'm sorry, but now whenever Jiang Xingni encounters something, her first reaction is always, "Can this be applied to screenwriters?"
Could we let the screenwriter experience a dimensional attack? Could we pull the screenwriter into the world she created?
The time on the laptop screen ticked away, reaching 18:38.
A new reply was suddenly sent out.
33L: I know you're watching.
34L: Hehehe, there are new people to eat now, I'm so hungry...
35L: We know you're watching.
36L: We've been watching you, and you've finally seen us.
37L: Jiang.
38L: Star.
39L: Ni.
……
The system stared wide-eyed into Jiang Xingni's mind.
Suddenly, it recalled the countless horror movies it had watched in the database, and now it seemed to understand what fear, as humans call it, really felt like.
The system spoke shakily in Jiang Xingni's mind: "Look, this computer isn't even plugged in, so why is it still working normally?"
Jiang Xingni: ...
Jiang Xing glanced at the laptop.
"Are you crazy?" Even when they were about to be surrounded and attacked by monsters, Jiang Xingni was amused by the system. "This is a laptop."
Isn't it normal for a laptop to work without being plugged in?
The system's words were as if to say, "Look, look, this person's phone can even work without being plugged in!"
It would be abnormal if someone's phone could only be used when plugged in.
【Oh.】The system dejectedly muted itself.
It felt that it still didn't understand what human fear really was.
Jiang Xing sneered, looking at the reply that was laughing and trying to intimidate him.
She brought the computer to herself, then smiled and typed a reply.
LZ: Then come find me. I'll be waiting for you.
【? 】
Is this how they openly and blatantly provoke us?
The system was greatly shocked.
Before I could even voice my doubts, the system suddenly paused.
Its tone changed to the one Jiang Xingni was familiar with at the beginning, the tone when announcing comic updates.
[Yamasumi and his team sent a message to Longinus.]
