Chapter 350 What She Can Do
Pei Zhaoye sometimes wonders if he doesn't trust his teammates enough.
Jiang Xingni has always been more morally upright than them, but when faced with this situation, Pei Zhaoye's first reaction was still to want to know what Jiang Xingni's purpose was.
Except in cases of unavoidable circumstances, she rarely makes any requests to Pei Zhaoye if she can handle things herself. It's extremely rare for her to make so many requests in one day.
Adding to Xie Yungui's words, Pei Zhaoye couldn't help but wonder what Jiang Xingni was up to.
"You'll be alright, right?" Pei Zhaoye's mind raced with a flurry of thoughts, but in the end, only this one sentence reached Jiang Xingni's ears.
Jiang Xingni was the one with the strongest sense of morality among them.
They don't actually care about the life or death of their clones. Most of the time, when they protect ordinary people as superhumans, it's only because of the mission, because they can do it. If they fail, only Jiang Xingni will remember those people they failed to save.
Although Jiang Xingni always said that her sense of morality wasn't that strong, in Pei Zhaoye's opinion, her character was already excellent enough that all of them wanted to get as close to her as possible.
If it were someone else making the request instead of Jiang Xingni at this moment, Pei Zhaoye probably wouldn't have reacted this way. He would be curious about what the other person wanted to do, but he wouldn't worry about their safety. Only with Jiang Xingni would Pei Zhaoye feel that she was the type who would be willing to sacrifice herself for a complete stranger.
—A very mysterious personality.
Pei Zhaoye could only offer this assessment.
Jiang Xingni tried to brush off Pei Zhaoye's question by simply saying, "I want to reveal the truth about superpowered individuals and the bizarre to the whole world. Would you be willing to help me?"
Pei Zhaoye:?
Pei Zhaoye felt like he was dreaming. Before he could even think about what those words meant, he forced himself to pull his mind back from what Jiang Xingni had said and focus on his own question.
"You didn't answer my question," Pei Zhaoye said. "Will you be in trouble?"
"Will you survive unharmed and without any problems?"
She's such a hard person to fool.
Jiang Xing glanced at Pei Zhaoye in his mind—so that the system wouldn't have to relay those words to him.
Previously, Pei Zhaoye would only be shocked by what he was going to do, and then ask questions—whether it was asking about the feasibility of the matter, or righteously refusing it, thinking that Jiang Xingni was really fanciful—all of which were successfully circumvented by Jiang Xingni from the original topic.
At that time, Jiang Xingni can persuade Pei Zhaoye with a few more words and at the same time divert Pei Zhaoye's attention.
But it is different now.
Jiang Xingni's prepared rhetoric was all useless. Pei Zhaoye didn't care what Jiang Xingni wanted to do, such as revealing the truth of the world and using his superpower to broadcast live to the whole world. He didn't care what kind of harm these things would bring to the world or to himself.
He only wanted to know one thing—would you survive this ordeal? Could you defy Xie Yungui's prophecy?
Apart from that, all the other questions were not within Pei Zhaoye's current considerations. Perhaps he would only have the mind to ask these questions after he got a satisfactory answer from Jiang Xingni.
He was so devoted—Jiang Xingni didn't think she could use the art of language to change the subject and make him forget about the problem.
Jiang Xingni calmly gave her answer: "I don't think I can survive."
These words echoed in Pei Zhaoye's mind and in He Jingtong's ears at the same time.
Jiang Xingni spoke softly.
He Jingtong suddenly turned around, his gaze landing on Jiang Xingni: "What are you talking about?"
He frowned: "We're far from at our wits' end. If you're worried about these clones, I can assure you that they won't wake up unless someone is controlling them."
"You won't be killed by them. Even if they all do wake up, I'll take you away from here."
He Jingtong didn't dare say anything like "I will protect you" in front of Jiang Xingni—if Jiang Xingni couldn't beat him, then even he and Jiang Xingni together would have a hard time defeating him. So he could only promise that he would definitely take Jiang Xingni away from here unharmed—after all, he grew up in VOID, and he was, after all, the next generation successor of VOID.
Although his biological father was not too happy to see him inherit the organization, he probably just hoped that he would stay in the position of successor.
He Jingtong felt there was nothing to comment on. In the end, it was nothing more than nonsense about fighting for power and profit. It was really strange that he would kill himself for his deceased wife, but still wanted power and status while he was alive.
Jiang Xingni knew that He Jingtong's words were entirely true, and she simply smiled and asked, "What if I don't want to leave?"
He Jingtong: ?
"Are you crazy too?" He Jingtong couldn't understand Jiang Xingni's purpose in doing this. "Do you want to stay here and wait to die?"
Pei Zhaoye could also hear what Jiang Xingni said. The sentence lingered in his mind for a while, and then he connected it with Jiang Xingni's other sentence, "Live the truth to the whole world."
"You want to use yourself..." Pei Zhaoye suddenly realized, though he still couldn't understand. "But why?"
He could understand Jiang Xingni's choice not to leave. If he wanted to broadcast it live and make a bigger impact, what ordinary live broadcast footage could attract more attention than Jiang Xingni's fight and conflict?
He just couldn't understand Jiang Xingni's reasons for doing this, just like He Jingtong.
Jiang Xingni shrugged, unsure how to explain her agreement with the screenwriter to them. But besides the agreement, Jiang Xingni also had to admit that she had her own selfish motives.
"I want to clear my parents' name," she said with a light laugh.
Her parents were also victims of anime, and because they were too close to the truth of the world, they were forgotten by the world.
She certainly couldn't say the truth directly, such as that the whole world was just a comic book.
However, if she didn't take this opportunity to speak out about the truth about superpowered individuals, it would be almost impossible for Jiang Xingni to wait for the 49th Bureau to clear her parents' names and for ordinary people to know what her parents had done.
They should have been remembered in history.
Jiang Xingni herself could not become like her parents, who were so important to the country and willing to give up all fame and fortune to devote themselves to research.
All she could do was remind everyone of her parents.
