Chapter 74 Us
Even as Jiang Xingni pondered, he still remembered to show him the way.
Therefore, the moment Xiao Jiming's gaze fell upon him, Jiang Xingni instantly knew where he was about to go.
—The gymnasium next to the playground.
This building has actually been abandoned for a long time.
In Jiang Xingni's memory, all she could recall was that the gymnasium had never been used since she enrolled in school.
According to my high school seniors, this gymnasium has been abandoned for at least six years.
Over the years, the stadium has been abandoned and is now virtually deserted.
Even the moment Xiao Jiming pushed open the door, dust filled the air.
That rickety door, which hadn't been opened for at least six years—maybe more—suddenly collapsed.
fell to the ground.
Xiao Jiming looked blankly at his outstretched hands.
He was certain that he had not been possessed by any strange entity, nor had he suddenly gained any superhuman strength or dual abilities.
Jiang Xingni didn't wait to see what he was thinking. She narrowed her eyes and stared at the stadium.
In the vision of the Eye of Truth, the entire stadium was tinged with an eerie red.
Jiang Xingni's breath hitched for a moment.
His mind was already wandering—no, as expected of the protagonist, among so many options, Xiao Jiming directly chose the one that was caught between a rock and a hard place.
Countless complaints flashed through Jiang Xingni's mind, but on the surface, he remained silent for a while, trying to appear profound and unfathomable, without questioning their choice.
The feeling she experienced was also inextricably linked to the Eye of Truth.
Compared to the little girl chasing relentlessly behind him, the red of the stadium in front of him seemed somewhat dim.
Between two evils, choose the lesser.
At least in Jiang Xingni's mind, the moment the thought of talking to that girl surfaced, her Eye of Truth, along with her intuition, was frantically calling out to her, telling her no, no, no, it's impossible.
The stadium in front of him, at most, was composed of large swaths of red, symbolizing danger, in Jiang Xing's field of vision.
However, if the thought of actually entering arises, the warning from the Eye of Truth is far less intense than talking to the person behind you.
This means that, at least in this situation, the stadium can be considered a temporarily safe place.
Jiang Xingni followed Song Juexiao into the gymnasium. Just before she was fully inside, she turned around and glanced at the girl behind her.
She was still wearing that horribly ugly fluorescent green school uniform. Underneath the oversized uniform, the bones in the girl's wrists were sparse, and she was practically dangling inside the clothes.
They were quick to escape; when danger was involved, fueled by adrenaline, few would linger and be left to be slaughtered.
But even under these circumstances, the girl still followed them at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.
It was less of a hunt and more like a cat playing with a mouse, just for fun.
They just wanted to enjoy their panic as they fled.
She didn't choose to run, but as if some unseen force was at play, she maintained a distance from Jiang Xingni that remained almost unchanged from the start of the chase.
They were neither left behind nor overtaken.
Seemingly noticing Jiang Xingni's gaze, she stopped and then smiled gently at Jiang Xingni, her eyes crinkling into a smile.
Even though there was some distance between them, her voice still reached Jiang Xingni's ears clearly.
She was saying, "Tell me."
"Tell me, where is Xu Niannian?"
"What a good friend! It's okay, it's okay, you can't escape it either, I know."
"Come join us."
Then, the soft female voice that had been lingering in Jiang Xingni's ears suddenly disappeared, along with the soprano in his sight.
The bell rang, signaling the end of get out of class.
But the first thought that flashed through Jiang Xingni's mind was that this girl was quite true to her original aspirations.
To find out where Xu Niannian was, the main characters started following the group. Before disappearing, they didn't forget to remind the readers, afraid that the readers would forget the original reason because of the long chase.
Moreover... Jiang Xingni turned around, still with her eyes downcast, pondering the last sentence the high school girl had just said.
Come join us.
we.
This "we".
Of course, it can be understood that this girl high school, Ji Shanqing, and perhaps Xu Niannian are involved.
But Jiang Xingni always felt that things wouldn't be that simple.
What do they have in common? Are they both women?
The sample size is too small, but it can still serve as a reference.
"What are you thinking about?" Xiao Jiming gently nudged Jiang Xingni's shoulder.
Jiang Xingni then came to his senses and looked around at the scene inside the stadium in front of him.
The moment they entered the stadium, the bright sunlight outside seemed to be torn apart by something invisible. Even the light shining into the stadium through the door panel that Xiao Jiming had just broken off carried a cold and icy atmosphere.
Jiang Xing frowned slightly.
Under direct sunlight, dust particles were clearly visible swirling in the air.
Everything in the stadium was covered in a thick layer of dust: equipment, basketball hoops, sandbags, benches in the corners, balls piled up in the back...
Song Juexiao shivered involuntarily, then looked puzzled.
"What were you thinking about just now?" He Jingtong walked to Jiang Xingni's side and took the initiative to speak, repeating the question that Xiao Jiming had just asked, but Jiang Xingni had not given an answer to.
"What did you just hear?" Jiang Xingni didn't answer, but instead asked them, calmly observing their expressions.
Everyone—even Su Yanzhi standing on the other side—turned their gaze toward Jiang Xingni.
Everyone shook their heads in confusion.
"Before she disappeared, she told me, 'Come and stay with us,'" Jiang Xingni repeated what she had heard the high school girl say.
Contrary to Jiang Xingni's expectations, neither Xiao Jiming, Song Juexiao, nor even He Jingtong paid any attention to the word "we".
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiming's almost permanent smile vanished, and he glanced nervously at Jiang Xing: "Why you? Because of your special ability?"
He Jingtong pursed his lips: "You shouldn't be the one covering the rear."
Song Juexiao even grabbed Jiang Xingni's hand.
The girl looked serious and wrote in her notebook, "Nothing will happen, you'll be fine."
Only Su Yanzhi, who was standing the furthest away, typed out a question mark in confusion.
"What's important now isn't 'accompanying,' but 'us,' right?" Su Yanzhi asked sincerely.
To be honest, Jiang Xingni also wanted to ask that question.
Why is everyone suddenly concerned about her safety?
