Chapter 285 And Fate
"Is there some noise...?" Someone looked up thoughtfully.
Then he received a sneer from Ma Hui.
"What could possibly happen here? There aren't any glowing spots on the map," Ma Hui said casually. "Besides, this world has already been taken over by that virus..."
—What virus?
Jiang Xingni keenly caught the word, and the figure hidden in the forest paused slightly.
The branches and leaves around her did not sway at all, completely concealing her figure.
Jiang Xingni suddenly remembered how that girl died in his first mission.
She narrowed her eyes, her gaze falling on the stone tablet.
"Alright, alright, hurry up and finish what the people upstairs are doing..." The other person hadn't finished speaking yet.
Jiang Xing's gaze stirred.
All they could hear was the gentle sound of the wind passing by their ears.
Then came the sound of a sharp object being plunged into a limb.
Jiang Xingni was still quite lenient; instead of piercing his heart directly, he used Lu Xianqing's bone—which, to be fair, was extremely useful as a weapon—to pierce through his kneecap.
The person instinctively tried to open their mouth, but when they came to their senses, they found that they could no longer make a sound.
A thin piece of bone pierced through his neck, precisely avoiding his major artery and severing only his trachea.
All they could hear was the hissing sound of the airflow passing by, their eyes wide open, staring intently at the person in front of them.
When he looked up, he still couldn't see anything he wanted to see.
All he could see was a mask gleaming coldly beneath the black cloak.
The mask completely obscured the face of the person in front of him, to the point that he couldn't even tell whether the person was male or female.
Through the mask, he could only feel that cold gaze, lightly landing on him, without a sneer or a hint of wariness.
It was as if they were just insignificant passersby to the men in black.
Who is the person who wants to kill them?
Which side's members were able to bypass the mechanism of the instance itself—it's worth noting that even VOID can only exploit the vulnerabilities that exist in the instance itself to gain some advantages—and this is where it comes into play?
Dealing with the three people in front of him was really not difficult for Jiang Xingni.
Even if the first person whose leg was cut off opened his eyes wide and made a sound, trying to alert his teammates, they were too slow to react.
Even if you want to use your superpowers, you need to have the time to use them.
Moreover, Jiang Xingni already knows about the special ability of one of the three people.
Finally, Jiang Xingni casually pulled out a rattan cane and tied the three of them together.
She didn't expect the vine to be of much use, but after all, it was still a comic book.
The act of binding them with rattan is still necessary to indicate that they have lost their ability to move.
Although, for Jiang Xingni, the most important measure was to directly cut their bones while using his healing abilities to keep them alive so that they wouldn't die.
She turned her head and glanced at them before focusing her attention on the stone tablet.
Jiang Xingni originally wanted to randomly select someone to question how the stone tablet was supposed to be used.
But the moment she focused her attention on the stone tablet, Jiang Xingni instantly understood what it was for.
A complete copy is very difficult to hack; to hack a copy, you have to pry open a hole.
This stone tablet was the tool that VOID and their team used to pry open the copy.
They obtained relevant information from an unknown source and successfully learned the ultimate truth of the entire instance. Using this information, along with the original power of the stone tablet, they began to decontaminate the instance.
Since the stone tablet can be used as the first weapon to corrupt the dungeon, its function must be more than that.
Jiang Xingni casually twirled the knife he had confiscated from the unlucky guy and plunged it into the head of the man on the left.
"What are your superiors telling you to use it for?"
Jiang Xing raised an eyebrow.
"Go ahead and kill me if you want!" he roared. "It's just a dungeon anyway. You'll get what's coming to you when I get out!"
Seeing his unyielding and defiant expression, Jiang Xing's smile deepened.
Her tone was nonchalant: "So you're just pawns of VOID, huh? I guess they haven't told you the whole story."
Who cares if they know or not?
Jiang Xingni thought to himself with a sense of righteous indignation.
Anyway, they can't die once to prove whether what they said is right or wrong.
"This instance is corrupted, so... you should know that dying inside this instance means dying outside, right?"
Jiang Xingni's gaze pierced through the masks, clearly seeing the fleeting change in their expressions.
Just as Jiang Xingni had thought.
They didn't actually know whether what Jiang Xingni said was true or false.
However, compared to the mysterious person in front of them, they still distrusted VOID even more, believing that VOID would care about their lives.
Jiang Xingni's words sounded very real, like something VOID would do.
So the person threatened by Jiang Xingni readily agreed and spoke up.
"VOID allows us to use this monument to change other people's missions."
...This function is also available?
Jiang Xingni stared at the black stone tablet with a thoughtful expression, his eyes wide with amazement.
A new idea suddenly popped into my head.
—So, could she also decide the missions of the main characters?
Regardless of whether the idea was feasible or not, Jiang Xingni's eyes lit up the moment the thought popped into his head.
[As expected, you're a control freak.]
Jiang Xingni turned his gaze upon hearing the system's words.
But this is the screenwriter's right. She now has the right to be a screenwriter at a certain moment—although this right comes from a combination of various opportunities, but in a certain sense.
Jiang Xing glanced at it.
At that moment, she truly took control of other people's destinies.

On the other side, Xiao Jiming and his group finally chopped the infinitely shrinking slime into pieces.
Xie Yungui finally jumped down from the tree.
"The mission has been updated." Xie Yungui shook his wrist.
A lazy smile played between his brows and eyes.
Xiao Jiming and Song Juexiao both lowered their heads at the same time, looking at the location of the task on their wrists.
The main questline has been updated.
[Mission: Are there really any surviving humans in this world?]
When Jiang Xingni was issuing the tasks, he thoughtfully helped the screenwriter by arranging Lu Xianqing's task together with theirs.
I'm sorry.
You guys can be her tools for now.
