Chapter 378 She doesn't want to contact me
Jiang Xingni naturally gave out his coordinates, but when he noticed that Xu Niannian's reaction on the other end of the phone was a little off, he realized that he shouldn't have given out his coordinates directly.
"Capital University," she changed to a more detailed address. "Inside the teaching building, or message me when you get off the subway, and I'll pick you up at the school gate."
Xu Niannian's school is a bit far from Capital University, and besides, she should still be in class right now...
However, all these factors flashed through Xu Niannian's mind, leaving only one thought in the end.
So what?
Since roll call has already been taken, even if someone is caught skipping class now, they'll only lose a few points on their participation grade.
She wanted to find Jiang Xingni.
She wanted to see Jiang Xingni.
Xu Niannian didn't hesitate for long before turning around and running towards the subway entrance outside the school gate.
Meanwhile, after finishing his phone call with Xu Niannian, Jiang Xingni and the remaining two people found a place to sit down.
"How many people actually thought I was dead?" Jiang Xingni asked in a deep voice.
Song Juexiao and Xie Yungui exchanged a glance, and Song Juexiao replied, "Basically, everyone who knows you knows that."
"...Is I really dead?" Jiang Xingnian realized that Song Juexiao had blurted out "I thought" instead of "I knew".
She narrowed her eyes: "Then why am I still alive? Can my superpowers still bring others back to life?"
Superpowered individuals who can come back from the dead do exist. Lu Xianqing's existence is not a secret. She could see this during the battle. When necessary, Lu Xianqing would still use his own death to teleport and perform other effects to facilitate fighting against monsters.
But a superhuman who can revive others? Jiang Xingni found it utterly unbelievable.
If such a superpower truly existed, the possessor would be kidnapped immediately and become the object of contention among various forces in the world.
Jiang Xingni was quite certain of this.
"We didn't know," Song Juexiao said. "In fact, I didn't know you were resurrected until I saw you with my own eyes. I only discovered your resurrection today."
"Then why am I still able to go to university normally?" This is another question that Jiang Xingni can't understand.
If she is already dead, and her body has been cremated, then her identification documents should show that she is a dead person.
How can a dead person go to university? Has her country become so open and tolerant?
Neither Song Juexiao nor Xie Yungui could answer this question. The group looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion and helplessness.
The system regretted that Jiang Xingni couldn't hear what it was saying, otherwise it could have offered an explanation.
This is, after all, a comic book world.
Jiang Xingni modified the original story's direction, still thinking about his unfinished university education, so he added a little bit of personal ambition, allowing himself to successfully attend university after being resurrected.
The upper-level narrative has made its decision; all procedures and settings will be changed according to Jiang Xingni's will, and she has successfully altered this reality.
As for amnesia and loss of superpowers, that's a story the system is completely unaware of—perhaps it's the price a character in a comic has to pay to change reality? The system isn't sure.
"But at least you're still alive," Song Juexiao said.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xingni instinctively wanted to retort: "How do you know that the person alive is definitely the Jiang Xingni you know? Maybe I'm part of someone's conspiracy?"
This time, Xie Yungui was the one who retorted. He propped his head up with his hand and lazily slumped on the table: "Because I can see it."
"You are Jiang Xingni. You don't need to think about whether those memories are part of you, or whether you are the same person after losing your memory... You are you. Even if you hadn't lost your memory, you would still be struggling with these kinds of questions." Xie Yungui offered a consolation that wasn't exactly comforting.
Jiang Xingni: ...
If Xie Yungui had simply said "you are you," Jiang Xingni might have scoffed and not trusted his words much.
But Xie Yungui is precisely saying that even if you didn't lose your memory, you would still be struggling with this kind of problem.
Jiang Xingni herself knows herself very well. From her current perspective, she has never suffered from amnesia, and she still feels conflicted about this issue.
This single sentence left Jiang Xingni at a loss for what to do.
It was rare for the system to see Jiang Xingni speechless, and taking advantage of the fact that Jiang Xingni couldn't hear it, it declared: 【As expected of Xie Yungui, as expected of a prophet, as expected of someone who can see the future!】
"...? You're still alive." It seemed to hear a sound.
Pei Zhaoye originally thought that after losing Jiang Xingni's supplies, this parasite-like thing would also die.
Now, while he was wandering around, he heard the system's voice again.
The entire system was terrified and scrambled to be protected by Jiang Xingni. The problem was that Jiang Xingni had lost his memory and had forgotten the existence of the system, so he could not protect the system as usual.
After nearly a year, Pei Zhaoye, whose abilities had grown considerably, easily retrieved the system from the world of data.
Following the link, Pei Zhaoye "saw" Jiang Xingni.
And Xie Yungui and Song Juexiao on the opposite side.
Pei Zhaoye was so angry he laughed – so two people had already run away, and he was the only one left out, right?
"When did you get back?" Pei Zhaoye asked gently, stroking the system with a smile. "Why didn't you tell me? You really disappointed me, didn't you?"
The system seemed momentarily disoriented.
It's clear that not much time has passed since it last met Pei Zhaoye, so why is the sense of oppression so great now that it's back?
Can time really allow a person to grow to their current state?
The system is highly suspicious.
"Don't pretend here!" the system warned weakly. "Whether you want to be told depends on whether Jiang Xingni wants to tell you or not!"
Pei Zhaoye's smile deepened: "So you mean Jiang Xingni doesn't want me to know, but is willing to let Xie Yungui and Song Juexiao know?"
As a data entity, Pei Zhaoye could easily find out with a simple search: "She also took the initiative to contact Xu Niannian, but she didn't want to contact me, right?"
The system felt itself getting colder and colder.
[Song Juexiao and Xie Yungui both discovered it themselves! What clues could possibly fool a prophet?]
Jiang Xingni only remembers Xu Niannian now, so she definitely needs to contact her good friend!
【And you, you're a god of the internet, and you haven't even noticed Jiang Xingni is back? Are you no good?!】The system hurriedly defended itself, afraid that Pei Zhaoye would disassemble it and study it directly.
