Chapter 282 The Stars Are Fine
Upon hearing this, Lu Xianqing looked up and glanced at Song Juexiao, who had spoken.
The girl with the red hair fluttering in the wind noticed her gaze and gave her a light laugh.
"Xingxing is fine." Xie Yungui's gaze swept over the group and then landed on Lu Xianqing, who had just been successfully resurrected in the distance.
"While it's possible to bring the dead back to life, there are limitations, right?" Xiao Jiming tilted his head, a smile on his face, as he looked at Lu Xianqing. "You've been resurrected so many times, is your superpower still sufficient?"
They rarely mention the limitations of insufficient supernatural abilities.
For these children who are still in school, using their superpowers normally without exploring new uses or consuming much energy, their superpowers will never be used to their full potential.
The last time the limit was reached was when Jiang Xingni wiped out all the monsters in Baoning City with a single arrow, perfectly meeting the two conditions of new use of superpowers and excessive consumption.
Now, although Lu Xianqing simply used her innate ability to resurrect the dead to create a new body.
However, after such a long time, Xiao Jiming did not believe that Lu Xianqing could be completely unaffected and still as adept as she was at the beginning—specifically, adept at dealing with those who had come back from the dead—after all, she had not been able to defeat Xiao Jiming and Song Juexiao at that time.
Lu Xianqing didn't say whether Xiao Jiming's words were right or wrong; she simply raised her eyes and stared at Xiao Jiming for a while.
"He's not dead." She said with some regret. "Okay."
Lu Xianqing genuinely believed that Jiang Xingni had been eliminated.
After all, her glowing spots had already disappeared from the map.
"Where is she?" Lu Xianqing's eyes were fixed on Xie Yungui.
The two people had similar hair colors, but different colored eyes stared at each other. Their similar faces, with little expression, were face to face at a distance.
Xie Yungui slowly withdrew his gaze: "I don't know."
The young man's tone was flat and indifferent, without any fluctuation.
Lu Xianqing knew too little about him, and she couldn't tell whether Xie Yungui was lying or telling the truth from his words.
Of course, this doesn't mean that Song Juexiao and Xiao Jiming knew much more about Xie Yungui.
However, both of them knew very well that Xie Yungui would not tell them the truth, nor would he humiliate himself like that.
Song Juexiao looked at Xie Yungui.
She actually had a lot of questions she wanted to ask.
For example, where exactly is Jiang Xingni? Of course, Xie Yungui might not know the answer to this question, and even if he did, he might not tell her. For example, how did he find out? Was it thanks to his special ability, or did he successfully get the answer from Jiang Xingni? And what did he mean by saying that? Was it what Jiang Xingni wanted to express? Would she think that her and Xiao Jiming's methods were a bit too cruel?
Song Juexiao was filled with anxiety.
But in the end, all that came out was—"The stars don't want us..."
Before they could even finish their sentence, a shadow had already fallen over the four of them.
Jiang Xingni only felt relieved the moment he saw the shadow appear.
What is the best way to get newcomers into the main cast?
What is the best way to get two parties with a history of conflict to cooperate?
The answer is already clear.
Of course, it's about creating a common enemy for them.
As luck would have it, the shadowy figure in front of them, whose nature they didn't know, was the common enemy created for them by the screenwriter.
Jiang Xingni originally thought that the comic would end here, but when she turned the page, she found that there was more.
The screenwriter didn't let the story end there, but continued writing it.
Song Juexiao and his group went to fight the newly appeared monsters.
*
The newly appeared monster looks like a slime, with the texture of a transparent preserved egg. It bounces around on the ground, leaving a trail of water stains.
The comic used an entire page to depict this scene, with light shining through the translucent slime body and falling on Xiao Jiming and his group.
Song Juexiao opened his mouth and screamed.
"Get out of here—"
However, the moment the words fell, it wasn't just the slime in front of them that started rolling around.
The slime suddenly exploded in response to the sound, turning into scattered small slimes, each about the size of a fist.
Some of them rolled backward because of Song Juexiao's words, while a larger portion rolled forward and pounced directly on Song Juexiao in front of them.
That splash of red stood out starkly against the backdrop of black and white.
Song Juexiao pursed his lips, turned his head to dodge a slime that was coming towards him, and then picked up the scattered human bones on the ground—coincidentally, they were the corpses left behind when Lu Xianqing died—and slashed them at another slime.
Song Juexiao's strength was considerable.
The slime that was chosen was just like that, and it fell from mid-air with a thud.
The slime, shattered by the force, became one large slime and several smaller slimes, each only the size of a fingernail.
The shattered slime wriggled on the ground.
There were only two, but more and more slimes kept pouring towards them.
Even if one of the larger ones is broken, they will scatter into smaller slimes, which will then cling to the person and clung to them.
Xie Yungui stared at the slime with utter disdain for a few seconds, then leaped onto a tree instead.
"Keep it up, guys."
Xie Yungui spoke with genuine emotion.
Anyway, with the three of them blocking the way under the tree, even if the slime wanted to attack him, it would definitely attack the three of them first.
While holding the bone in both hands, Song Juexiao accurately swatted away the slime flying towards her, and also took the time to look up at Xie Yungui.
In stark contrast to the joking tone in his voice, Xie Yungui's expression at this moment was completely different.
Those red eyes, devoid of much emotion, simply lowered their gazes and coldly observed the group.
This included his teammates as well as the girl who had once been Jiang Xingni's enemy.
But Xie Yungui seemed completely unconcerned.
Song Juexiao had no idea what Xie Yungui saw in those endless parallel universes, timelines, futures, and possibilities reflected in his eyes.
She was quite clear about the underlying meaning behind those words.
—It's up to you. In the future I see, you're perfectly capable of handling this monster.
The strange creature summoned by Xiao Jiming suddenly blocked Song Juexiao's path.
They stopped the slime that had fallen behind because of its momentary hesitation.
The slime's eye—it could be its own eye, or it could be the eye of the person it devoured—was staring at Song Juexiao.
Song Juexiao simply raised his hand and severed it without hesitation.
