Chapter 272 Useless Things
Jiang Xing focused his mind and stared at the line of text that had now turned into gibberish.
What were the initial rewards for completing the missions?
—【Points Mission: Investigate the truth behind the death; completion will reward you with relevant clues】
Well, how should I put it?
Jiang Xingni couldn't even say for a moment that the task reward was wrong.
Although the final reward has indeed turned into gibberish, Jiang Xingni has indeed obtained relevant clues.
"She died because of a monster," Jiang Xingni whispered to the system in his mind. "Regardless of the real cause of death, the true culprit behind her death is a monster."
Jiang Xingni isn't a forensic doctor; she doesn't have time to analyze how someone actually died.
Was the girl in front of me scared to death, electrocuted, or had her soul taken away by monsters, leaving her as an empty shell?
Jiang Xingni didn't need to know any of these things; all she needed to know was that the other person had died because of a supernatural event.
What good would it do to know how the girl in front of me died?
It's impossible for the monster to use the same method to kill Jiang Xingni.
The most fundamental difference is that Jiang Xingni is a superhuman, while the deceased was just an ordinary person.
She didn't mean to discriminate against any ordinary people. Jiang Xingni was actually very clear about what ordinary people could do, but it was a fact.
The methods that monsters choose to kill people with special abilities and ordinary people will certainly not be exactly the same.
If the person standing here is an untrained ordinary person from the mountain corner, or a trained soldier who has fought his way out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood to protect others, the monster's choice of response will naturally be different.
"When I realized this..." Jiang Xingni narrowed his eyes thoughtfully. "I also became part of the monster's attack range."
If Jiang Xingni hadn't been led astray by the mission's prompts and taken this path, she wouldn't have ended up in this predicament.
When there seemed to be no way out, I followed the usual instructions and continued according to the mission prompts, which led me into a trap.
Is this the purpose of VOID?
This is why Bureau 49 sent Jiang Xingni a message, warning her not to trust those missions and asking her to rescue the children in the instance.
At this point, it seems that this is the only possible deduction.
【…Should we continue to deduce how this question mark woman died?】 The system came to its senses, disconnected from the 49th Bureau, and cleaned up the data that wanted to follow up and investigate Longinus's footsteps. Then it heard Jiang Xingni's thoughtful words.
The system was bewildered, with only one feeling: had I missed something?
With little emotional intelligence and a poor understanding of society, it has drawn a crude conclusion.
So, instead of continuing to draw conclusions, should we run away?
Jiang Xingni sneered.
"No, I won't run away." Jiang Xing lowered her eyes, her palm gently brushing against the unknown girl's eyelids.
"Since I'm being watched anyway, I should at least know her name."
She'll definitely continue investigating to find out who it is. Even though the mission has been corrupted by VOID, the original clues shouldn't be completely gone.
Jiang Xingni reopened his laptop.
The monsters that were originally hidden behind the laptop and spread around due to Jiang Xingni's supernatural abilities suddenly burst out because of the wide-open computer screen.
They rushed aggressively towards Jiang Xingni's direction. In a daze, Jiang Xingni could even see through the dark, monstrous figures in front of him, and above the data code, a black shadow hovering behind them.
Jiang Xingni's thoughts swirled in his mind, and then he suddenly realized something.
It directly cuts off visual sensing between itself and the system.
Regardless of how the system was swirling menacingly in his mind after losing the opportunity to spy on the outside world from Jiang Xingni's perspective.
Jiang Xingni then realized what crucial clue he had lost.
Why is the system acting like it's crazy, yelling at the laptop that it's not plugged in but the lights are still on?
It can connect to the entire world's network. To be more precise, isn't the system just a computer that can still function normally even after losing power?
It itself is a product of unknown technological or metaphysical origins—judging from the system's control over high technology, Jiang Xingni is more inclined to believe that it is actually a creation of even higher technology—what right does it have to yell at a laptop? This is simply unscientific. The system is too frightening.
Why did Lu Xianqing choose her as his target from the very beginning?
She must know something.
Jiang Xingni once again pinned the blame on VOID. Since the specific reasons and hidden secrets behind it were unknown, attributing all the conspiracies and tricks to VOID was a good solution.
Because Lu Xianqing already knew that the points-based mission would ultimately lead to this outcome.
She also felt that she would die during the points mission due to the contamination of VOID.
Having considered this, even though he was still under the watchful eyes of countless monsters, Jiang Xingni couldn't help but feel a complex sense of being underestimated.
Not really.
Do they really think she will be eliminated because of the monsters' attack?
Before he fell into a trap, Lu Xianqing took the initiative to test the waters.
If Jiang Xingni is killed by Lu Xianqing, Lu Xianqing can directly obtain the points from Jiang Xingni, which will significantly improve Lu Xianqing's ranking. When they encounter the main characters again, Lu Xianqing can use this to make a sarcastic remark.
Even if Lu Xianqing couldn't defeat Jiang Xingni, her ability to resurrect was undeniable. Even if she were defeated, there would be no consequences, and she could even test what Jiang Xingni's abilities were like.
Jiang Xingni's only complaint was that they actually thought they would be easier to deal with than the other members of the main group.
They were so certain that they would die in the monstrous slaughter behind the trap that they couldn't wait to begin testing her while she was still alive.
The monsters that they believe can kill them are likely capable of more than just these abilities.
A semi-transparent speckle of supernatural energy floated on Jiang Xingni's fingertip. Even just this one flickering, flame-like energy was enough to make the group of weak monsters in front of him retreat.
From the perspective of the Eye of Truth, Jiang Xingni could clearly see that she had now been pulled into the painting.
If someone were to come in right now, Jiang Xingni would also become part of the exhibition.
In addition, there is a system.
She possessed the Eye of Truth, preventing her from being misled or corrupted by the strange sights before her, for she felt immense fear in her mind despite the seemingly ordinary things.
On the contrary, it's the system.
By observing the world through her perspective, one can successfully become a victim of cognitive pollution.
...useless stuff.
