Chapter 330 Family Heritage
The person in charge watched with a smile as Lu Ming's expression changed in an instant.
Although Lu Ming's kneecap was pressing hard on his throat, suppressing his breathing and causing the air in his lungs to dry out, he exhaled with some pain.
But he still had a smile on his face.
He chuckled, his voice hoarse from the pressure on his vocal cords: "You know what? I've actually wanted to see your expression right now for a long time."
"And that monster you killed." The person in charge didn't know that the monster was killed by Jiang Xingni. He only thought that after Lu Ming completed the mission, he suddenly changed his mind and decided to kill them to extract information from them.
The person in charge knew he had little hope of surviving, but before he died, he still wanted to see Lu Ming's pained expression.
His smile grew wider as he stared intently at Lu Ming: "That monster was someone who died protecting you. She came back to life as a monster, only to be killed by you... Lu Ming, it's all your fault."
He was looking forward to the moment when Lu Ming would break down.
Unfortunately, Lu Ming disappointed him.
The young girl's face showed no expression—no pain, sadness, or sorrow. She simply stared quietly at the person in charge whom she had pinned to the ground, who was still smiling, seemingly wanting to see her break down.
Lu Ming suddenly realized why Xiao Jiming had said he was there to seek revenge.
This is the real enemy.
Their lives were destroyed in a way that seemed like a joke, and their pain and hope were merely a spectacle in the hands of others, to be admired through a glass window.
Fate became threads in other people's hands, binding them to their original positions one by one, and even vainly trying to treat them as puppets in a shadow play, being pulled by the threads to rush to that predetermined drama.
The water arrow in his hand suddenly condensed into a physical form.
Lu Ming lowered his eyes lightly, gazing at the person in front of him.
She didn't know what she should be thinking at this moment. The only thought left in her mind was that this dream was too real. She really, really missed her parents.
"It's all your fault," Lu Ming said firmly, rejecting the brainwashing he had received.
Following closely behind was the water arrow.
The sharp water jet pierced directly into the person in charge's brain through his eyeball. As the person in charge screamed and showed a pained expression, Lu Ming experienced a rare sense of pleasure.
She laughed lightly, her eyes crinkling. The water arrow she held spun around and around in the person in charge's mind, then began to stir. The wailing gradually subsided, and Lu Ming finally withdrew her hand. The water arrow dissipated instantly, turning into a stream of ordinary water that diluted the blood flowing from the person in charge.
Jiang Xingni and Xiao Jiming exchanged a glance, and Xiao Jiming saw the trust in Jiang Xingni's eyes.
Xiao Jiming took a deep breath, and only one thought remained in his mind—sometimes he really wished Jiang Xingni didn't trust him so much.
Lu Ming's mental state is a bit problematic. Both Xiao Jiming and Jiang Xingni can see this very clearly. After exchanging a glance, Xiao Jiming can also see Jiang Xingni's attitude.
—As the captain, you need to treat your teammates well. Keep it up!
As for Jiang Xingni himself, he was just an ordinary member of the main group who was about to die. How could he possibly shoulder such a heavy burden? If Jiang Xingni had to take care of Lu Ming, Lu Ming's reliance would still fall on Jiang Xingni.
Even the screenwriter wouldn't allow such a thing to happen.
Xiao Jiming had no idea how many thoughts flashed through Jiang Xingni's mind at that moment. All he could see was Jiang Xingni giving him a smile of complete trust before coldly pushing the burden onto him.
Alright then, Xiao Jiming gave up struggling. Anyway, Jiang Xingni couldn't be wrong; he just needed to follow Jiang Xingni's choice.
The remaining special forces soldiers were all successfully dealt with by Xiao Jiming and Jiang Xingni—or more accurately, by Xiao Jiming's cunning. As for Jiang Xingni, she remained within the protected area, watching Xiao Jiming and Lu Ming struggle hard.
"Is this the revenge you're talking about?" Lu Ming suddenly turned around, gazing at Xiao Jiming behind her, and asked softly. "I want to go with you."
She made the decision without hesitation, her tone still carrying the lightness that had seemed to drift away from reality.
"I'm going to kill them," Lu Ming whispered. "Teach me, please."
The haughty little girl finally lowered her head.
Xiao Jiming didn't know how to respond to her words. Sometimes he really wanted to tell Lu Ming that she was already very good at killing people and didn't need anyone to teach her how to kill.
Xiao Jiming glanced at Jiang Xingni subconsciously, but Jiang Xingni silently looked away, avoiding Xiao Jiming's pleading gaze.
"Let's go." Xiao Jiming didn't respond, but Jiang Xingni spoke first.
The alarm, which had been sounding for some unknown time, grew louder and louder, almost echoing in everyone's minds.
Jiang Xingni pursed her lips and suddenly remembered the last time she was in a dungeon, He Jingtong dared to destroy the entire base, along with the dungeon itself.
He Jingtong's personality doesn't seem like that of someone who would do such a thing, so it can only be due to family tradition and being influenced by it from a young age. This suggests that VOID has a tradition of blowing things up at the drop of a hat.
If it were anywhere else, it wouldn't matter, since Jiang Xingni has bombed or forced others to bomb quite a few bases, but not here.
They are currently underground in the lower city. If the base collapses, it means that the place where the three of them grew up, their home, will be destroyed along with the base.
Even setting aside those dead things, how many living people are still on the ground? They could have lived well, but because of Jiang Xingni and his group's actions, so many people have died.
She pushed the door open, and whether it was her imagination or not, it seemed as if the whole room shook a few times.
Lu Ming glanced at the two of them, then decided to follow Jiang Xingni: "Was there an earthquake?"
She asked softly, looking around, and could see the surrounding walls shaking slightly.
Jiang Xingni: ...
It really comes from a family with a strong academic tradition.
It might even have a long history. How could a normal person, when faced with such a situation, not react by driving away the intruders, but by blowing up their own house?
VOID: Attempting to take everyone down with them...
Jiang Xingni did not want to comment on this approach.
The route and map slowly unfolded in Jiang Xingni's vision. She quickened her pace and ran in the indicated direction.
