A mysterious realm descends, and I defy fate in comics.

Chapter 40 Pei Zhaoye:?

"You ruined my creation!" On the other side, Zheng Tingfeng held the book and saw that no one paid any attention to her, so she screamed again.

"Okay, okay." Jiang Xingni's contemplative state was broken by her scream, and the little girl lost all interest in continuing her melancholy.

Fortunately, Jiang Xingni already knew that everything he was doing was to avoid death.

At most, this incident made Jiang Xingni realize one thing: she and the main characters just happened to meet on the way, and they weren't really on the same path.

If Jiang Xingni can ride on the popularity and fame of the main characters by playing the villain, he'll definitely choose to be a villain.

The reason he didn't become a villain is quite simple: Jiang Xingni couldn't guarantee that without the support of the main characters and the popularity of the real world, he wouldn't be on his way to cause trouble and then be directly eliminated by some strange event that suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

When the main characters discovered her body, they found out that she had actually died while causing trouble...

Jiang Xingni felt incredibly embarrassed just imagining the scene.

She wanted to be a popular character, not a comedic one.

Moreover, by then, Jiang Xingni was already beyond dead—it was impossible for the system to bring him back to life because of his popularity after death, right?

"I know I killed him," Jiang Xingni said with a smile. "Why are you yelling so loudly?"

Song Juexiao's overwhelming sorrow and despair, which she didn't know where they came from, vanished without a trace with Jiang Xingni's smiling question. She took a deep breath, and the emotions that hadn't actually arisen from her heart quickly disappeared with Jiang Xingni's gentle smile.

She silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Song Juexiao is not the kind of person who would miss an opportunity because of his emotions.

Before Zheng Tingfeng could utter a second sentence, he saw Song Juexiao open his mouth without hesitation.

The thing that was now either human or ghost screamed, its fingertips digging tightly into the cover of the wordless book in its hand, and grayish-yellow scraps of paper fell down in a rustling sound.

The song, still brief and urgent, came from Song Juexiao's throat, and this time Jiang Xingni could clearly feel the difference.

The singing seemed to carry invisible sound waves, heading straight for Zheng Tingfeng's location, avoiding Jiang Xingni and Xiao Jiming and He Jingtong on the other side.

Targeted?

As the little girl adjusted her breathing, her peripheral vision subtly swept over the surrounding scenery.

She could clearly see that not only Zheng Tingfeng, but more accurately, the entire room, was impacted by Song Juexiao's voice.

Only these three were exceptions, chosen by Song Juexiao and protected by accident.

Jiang Xingni was secretly relieved, at least it proved that Song Juexiao just didn't think of her as a teammate and didn't include her in the scope of avoiding attacks, rather than thinking that she was really a threat.

There is still a significant difference between these two situations.

The invisible sound waves followed the singing and exploded in Zheng Tingfeng's ears in less than a second.

Startled by the singing, the girl abruptly dropped her book, covered her ears, and screamed hysterically.

Two streams of blood flowed from her ears, the blood even reflecting an eerie light.

He Jingtong drew a sword, while Xiao Jiming simultaneously summoned his own monster.

Jiang Xingni instinctively wanted to grab her knife and follow them forward, but the next moment, Song Juexiao grabbed her arm.

Those green eyes stared straight at Jiang Xingni.

"We'll handle this," Song Juexiao said firmly, then increased the pressure on his hands, trying to stop Jiang Xingni from rushing back onto the battlefield.

Although Song Juexiao was a combat-related ability user, Jiang Xingni tentatively moved—and received a silent increase in strength from Song Juexiao—and discovered that if she wanted to break free, even after fighting with the placental person, she wouldn't need to exert much effort; a clever move would be enough to escape Song Juexiao's control.

But Jiang Xingni hesitated for a moment—there was no need for that, she thought to herself.

The most threatening placental people have already been dealt with by Jiang Xingni.

If Jiang Xingni fails to do it, the rest of them will probably have to go through a tough battle, just like the original purpose for which these characters and plots were set up.

But Jiang Xingni used cheat codes.

Zheng Tingfeng was originally an ordinary girl without any special abilities and whose skills were not as good as Jiang Xingni's. Her only special feature was the gift she received from the wordless book.

However, this special feature is not worth mentioning after the placental people were destroyed by Jiang Xingni.

Jiang Xingni calmly turned her thoughts around, then tilted her head and smiled at Zheng Tingfeng: "Don't worry, I won't run around."

She gently tapped the palm of Song Juexiao's hand that was holding hers, her gaze falling to the other side, to the place where Zheng Tingfeng had thrown down the wordless book—or perhaps it couldn't be called "throwing".

To be precise, Zheng Tingfeng simply didn't have the strength to pick up the wordless book again; all she could do was cover her ears and scream silently.

"A wordless book." Jiang Xingni pointed gently to the book lying on the ground.

Song Juexiao realized what she was referring to and opened his mouth again.

Without her, Jiang Xingni thought that the placental person would indeed have some impact on the main characters, but the harm would not be as great as the shadow puppet. After all, the shadow puppet was really hard to attack, while the placental person could at least be affected by physical attacks.

Even without Jiang Xingni, they would only spend a little more time, but it wouldn't have a significant impact on the final result.

Jiang Xingni's smile grew even more sinister at the thought of this possibility: "The thought of dying in a place like this, according to the plot, makes me feel so undignified."

System: [At least this is better than you being killed as cannon fodder by a side effect of an anomaly at the beginning, right?]

Jiang Xingni: ...Is it really necessary to compare and determine who is better?

"Pei Zhaoye is also in the book, along with the rest of the people," Jiang Xingni said softly.

He Jingtong caught this sentence, and without turning his head, he waved his fingertip at Jiang Xingni, and then the talisman flickered silently at his fingertip.

Jiang Xingni sensed something was wrong and instinctively protected Song Juexiao, who was closest to her.

When Pei Zhaoye finally managed to break free from the wordless book, this was the scene before him.

The pages of the wordless book seemed to have been torn off by an invisible force, and the light on it flickered like a light bulb with low power.

Then, the people closest to it, from Jiang Xingni to Xiao Jiming to He Jingtong to Song Juexiao, were all enveloped in the light and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Pei Zhaoye:.

Pei Zhaoye: Holy crap!
