Chapter 38 Crisis?
Within the strange realm, Jiang Xingnian gripped the dagger in his hand and smiled at the bizarre creature in front of him, whose placenta shape was barely discernible.
【Do you remember what you said on the forum before?】The system's voice suddenly exploded in Jiang Xingni's mind just as she was about to take action.
"What are you referring to?" Jiang Xing asked in his mind.
At the same time, he lightly touched the ground with his toes and leaped away, dodging the placental man who was charging at him. The placental man's powerful arm just grazed past Jiang Xingni's leaping figure, and the sound of air being cut rang in Jiang Xingni's ears.
She could almost feel the tiny explosions caused by the force in the air. The girl's figure was briefly suspended in mid-air by the force, but she was not a flying superhuman after all.
As gravity took over her body once again, Jiang Xingni could feel herself falling.
And just as she began to fall...
The placental person clenched his fist, then changed course halfway and smashed towards Jiang Xingni, who was falling from mid-air.
If she were hit squarely, Jiang Xingni could easily tell that she would either die or lose her ability to fight.
In this situation, losing the ability to fight is no different from waiting to die.
[What did readers say when they were speculating on whether you were part of the main cast or were cannon fodder before you could join?]
Jiang Xingni remembered that, according to the old thief's habits and the usual practices of his previous serialized comics, newcomers would definitely have to go through a test if they wanted to join the main characters.
If Jiang Xingni passes the test, he will be able to join the main characters' group and, before the ending, he will be able to receive the protagonist's halo and avoid death.
Jiang Xingni failed the test and became the white moonlight who appeared early and died early.
In fanfiction, they are responsible for being rescued by OCs and then used as stepping stones to join the main characters.
If you're lucky, the OC will bring Jiang Xingni into the main cast; if you're unlucky, the OC will use Jiang Xingni and then discard her, and Jiang Xingni will never appear in the entire story again.
Under these circumstances, Jiang Xingni was even able to analyze the situation in his mind.
Using her body's flexibility, she skillfully used her momentum in mid-air—kicking the face of someone the placenta-man had seemingly devoured, then grabbing the fist the placenta-man was throwing, changing position in mid-air, and then, Jiang Xingni directly used her thigh to wrap around the placenta-man's neck, using her muscles to press down on the placenta-man's throat.
Jiang Xingni could see the placenta person's cheeks turning red from lack of oxygen. She increased her strength again, then twisted her body and threw the placenta person to the ground.
"Why can't I live in a fanfiction world?" Jiang Xingni thought calmly to herself. She even had the leisure to chat with the system for a few minutes.
system:【?】
Jiang Xingni could see the huge, bright red question mark projected onto his retina by the system.
"Don't be so surprised," the little girl laughed. "Don't you think most fanfiction is about making up for regrets?"
"If I were a character in a fanfiction, I wouldn't have died," Jiang Xingni thought to the system.
She could almost feel the confusion coming from the system.
The girl sat on the placenta of the placenta man—if it were a normal person, then the position Jiang Xingni was sitting on would be considered chest.
Unfortunately, people with placenta cannot be considered normal people.
They can't even be considered human.
Sitting on it, Jiang Xingni couldn't even hear his heartbeat; he could only feel the sound of his blood pumping, but he didn't know where the blood was coming from.
"Can there be a heart inside the placenta?" she wondered thoughtfully, then without hesitation, she gripped her dagger and plunged it into the placenta-person's skin.
The system was still immersed in Jiang Xingni's words and hadn't had time to detach itself, so it was caught off guard when it saw the scene of Jiang Xingni stabbing someone.
It originally thought it would be similar to when it stabbed the person with the placenta before, with blood pumping out of the wound and soaking the person's head and face.
The system is prepared to accept the possibility that its host might look like a murderer.
Instead of being pumped out, fresh blood gushed out.
As if knowing what the system was thinking, Jiang Xingni smiled silently and then tilted his head.
As she cut through the flesh of the placenta along the skin's meridians, she calmly explained to the system in her mind.
"Do you remember what I told you back then?" Jiang Xingni said.
The system doesn't forget things; it immediately realized what Jiang Xingni was referring to.
"The feel of cutting open a placenta is different from the feel of cutting open a normal human?" the system repeated.
"Bingo!" the little girl exclaimed with a bright smile, her light tone contrasting sharply with the rapid movements of her hands. "This is the feel of a normal human being cut open—bone, muscle, layer upon layer, instead of a knife ripping open the skin and flesh, blood gushing out."
The onomatopoeic words that Jiang Xingni chose were perhaps a little too vivid.
The system remained silent for a long time—at least it really took a long time to react—before making a decision.
The system felt that it was not Jiang Xingni who needed psychological counseling, but the system itself.
Damn it, can real-life readers accept a teenage murderer as a member of the main cast in a comic book?
No, if someone in the main cast saw this scene, wouldn't Jiang Xingni be ostracized?
Does this mean that Xingxing is really going to take the villain route?
A series of thoughts raced through the system's processor, but Jiang Xingni was completely unaware.
Although it may seem like a long time has passed, it actually only lasted a few seconds.
The placental person was strangled by Jiang Xingni's thigh and thrown to the ground, causing his brain to freeze for a moment.
Taking advantage of the brief moment when his brain went blank, Jiang Xingni swiftly peeled off his skin with a dagger.
Although it wasn't a whole skin, his flesh—flesh that wasn't fully grown yet—fell downwards from the cracked skin.
It was about to fall but hadn't hit the ground yet, leaving a piece of flesh and blood stuck to it.
Almost instantly, Jiang Xingni nimbly kicked the placenta-man and leaped backward.
However, perhaps because the placental being was in a state of rage, Jiang Xingni's backward leap was caught by the placental being.
He grabbed Jiang Xingni's clothes, then looked at Jiang Xingni with a sinister smile on his face, and opened his mouth towards her.
Jiang Xingni sneered.
"Sorry, you have food stuck in your teeth, so we can't go anymore," the girl said softly and gently.
The next moment, she calmly turned the dagger in her hand and cut off the placenta-man's collar that was gripping her.
Under the influence of gravity, Jiang Xingni could feel himself falling downwards.
The placental person never expected such a good thing. It couldn't wait to open its mouth and run forward, wanting to eat Jiang Xingni, who was being put into its mouth.
The scenery before my eyes changed in an instant.
Jiang Xingnian saw a flash of white light.
