Chapter 332 Calling for People
[This conversation of ours will not be recorded.] The screenwriter typed slowly. [No readers will see... How did you find out? Was it because of your parents?]
This is what the screenwriter has always wanted to know.
Jiang Xingnian sensed the system's guilty conscience in his mind and confidently concealed it: "Why ask so many questions?"
She found that speaking in Lu Ming's tone was really effective; she only mocked and questioned others, instead of explaining her own thoughts and ideas when questioned herself.
"Since no readers will see this, what are you still pretending for?" She smiled and said frankly.
—Stop pretending that we have such a deep relationship.
Jiang Xingni had already shown her hatred for the screenwriter, and the screenwriter had never tried to hide her murderous intent towards Jiang Xingni. Now, suddenly, she came out and pretended that the two of them had a good relationship, got along very normally, and could chat casually... Jiang Xingni scoffed. Who would believe that?
"If I answer these questions, do you think you'll let me go? If I meet your demands, will you stop thinking about killing me?"
Jiang Xingni smiled gently, "You and I both know this is impossible, don't we?"
Upon being exposed, the screenwriter's text box suddenly shook for a moment, and then a series of insults flashed across the text box.
The screenwriter herself has almost forgotten why she hates Jiang Xingni so much. Logically speaking, Jiang Xingni is also a character she created, and there is not much difference between her and the others. But Jiang Xingni is different; she hates herself.
Jiang Xing lazily raised his eyelids, ignoring the text that flashed by like bullet comments.
She smiled and asked, "Are you done cursing?"
"Now that you've finished cursing, it's my turn, isn't it?" She straightened up, her tone calm. "If you can't kill me, then I will definitely kill you."
"I will definitely kill you," she repeated.
The space in front of him shattered in an instant, and Jiang Xing saw the screenwriter repeatedly typing out: "I'm so angry, I'm so angry."
Jiang Xingni felt incredibly refreshed.
When the screenwriter saw Jiang Xingni raise his eyes on the canvas, his gaze seemingly able to penetrate the entire dimensional barrier and see himself outside the dimension, he suddenly realized why Jiang Xingni was the special one.
If Xiao Jiming or anyone else knew that this world was just a comic book, and that their fates were all in their own hands, the screenwriter probably wouldn't be as anxious as they are now.
However, Jiang Xingni is special—especially vengeful—her personality and experiences mean that everything she has now is actually earned through her own efforts, not through the scriptwriter's arrangement that gave her companions and everything she wanted.
So when she learns that the whole world is just a play designed and rehearsed by others, all of Jiang Xingni's anger will inevitably erupt. She will hate those who control her fate, those who treat her like an NPC and arbitrarily arrange her life and death. Going a step further, she will hate all those who treat human life as a tool.
From VOID to screenwriter.
Xiao Jiming, upon learning the truth, would use this opportunity to threaten the screenwriter, causing the screenwriter to arrange everything in the direction Xiao Jiming wanted. However, Jiang Xingni is different. After learning the truth, besides wanting to survive, her suppressed anger would only make her want to find an opportunity and a way to kill the screenwriter.
The screenwriter was afraid of Jiang Xingni's murderous intent.
Therefore, she had to kill Jiang Xingni before she could.
Everything that the screenwriter had previously hidden was finally slowly revealed. Jiang Xing saw the guard who was originally guarding this room, but who had been casually killed off by the screenwriter and would probably have to blame himself for it.
It might be someone with superpowers, but it's definitely not a monster. Monsters wouldn't have their bodies left for so long after they die.
Jiang Xingni stopped looking at the surrounding scenery and walked to the control base. The self-destruct device was still running, with the progress bar at 30%.
When the progress bar reaches 60%, the residents of the lower city on the ground will be affected.
Although the ground is shaking now—it's more like a hundred-ton truck passing by, or a high-speed train whizzing by, causing a slight tremor in the surrounding ground—it's not enough to cause too much damage.
Jiang Xingni stared at the progress bar for a while, while other parts were filled with constantly updating code that he couldn't understand.
"Do you need my help?" the system asked softly. "I can analyze this data."
Jiang Xingni shook his head.
Although using the system is faster, the screenwriter is keeping a close eye on her current situation, and she prefers to go through a little more trouble than risk exposing the system.
Jiang Xingni made a direct call to Pei Zhaoye. Between relying on the system and relying on herself, she chose to call in reinforcements.
"Pei Zhaoye! Pei Zhaoye!!" Jiang Xingni exclaimed urgently. "Please help me, please help me."
Pei Zhaoye was once again abandoned by his teammates due to his loss of combat capability, and received a call from Jiang Xingni while in the safe zone.
The girl said urgently, "Could you do me a favor? Could you locate this point and stop this progress bar?"
Pei Zhaoye stared at his teammates who were being chased by monsters, and discerned the urging tone implied in Jiang Xingni's voice on the other end of the phone.
Pei Zhaoye made a resolute decision.
Let your teammates live for a while! They won't die anyway.
It was rare for Jiang Xingni to urge him in such an anxious tone, so there weren't many opportunities to help Jiang Xingni.
Of these opportunities, Jiang Xingni mostly chose to seek help from Pei Zhaoye.
"I've located you." Although Pei Zhaoye didn't know what had happened, his first reaction was to reassure Jiang Xingni. "Where's Xiao Jiming?"
He ran towards Jiang Xingni's direction through the data network.
Then I immediately saw the progress bar flashing with an alarm.
Responsible for the base's self-destruction...?
Pei Zhaoye was puzzled.
—Aren't they going back to their hometown for a visit?
How come the progress is so fast? We've only been separated for a day? How did it turn into infiltrating the VOID base and then immediately watching VOID self-destruct?
...How many times has VOID's base self-destructed now?
Each self-destruction is quite rapid, only allowing access to superficial data; deeper experimental data is completely unobtainable.
Despite his confusion, Pei Zhaoye's hands moved quickly. He hacked into the data and then skillfully cleared the progress bar, pausing all self-destructing programs.
Jiang Xingni watched as the progress bar, which had been continuously loading, instantly dropped to zero.
