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

Chapter 96 Turning a Blind Eye

This is what Zhao Henshan has been trying to hide from Jiang Xingni all along.

Over the past six years, she has killed nearly two thousand people.

Su Yanzhi looked at Jiang Xingni with some disappointment, but he was lost in thought.

He had originally thought that Jiang Xingni would be wary of Zhao Henshan because of her actions.

Jiang Xingni's gaze fell vaguely on Su Yanzhi, and suddenly she narrowed her eyes.

A faint, somewhat insincere smile still lingered on Su Yanzhi's lips.

Then Jiang Xingni suddenly grabbed Su Yanzhi's wrist and pulled her forcefully towards himself.

Caught off guard, Su Yanzhi's smile didn't fade; she even had the mind to joke with Jiang Xingni: "Are you really that dependent on me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yanzhi's smile vanished abruptly as he noticed the strange spatial fluctuations behind him.

As a space-related ability user, Su Yanzhi's first reaction was to use his ability, but then he discovered that his ability had become ineffective.

Unlike before, when Su Yanzhi was trapped in this world because she was in a different time, Su Yanzhi was no longer confined to this world.

Now, Su Yanzhi can't even break free from Jiang Xingni's wrist.

—It was as if he had lost his superpower. His ability to manipulate space, which was originally like an instinct, now seemed as if the entire space had been covered with a thick layer of mud and sand.

He tried to take control, but instead he sank deeper and deeper into the abyss.

Jiang Xingni gripped his wrist tightly, completely ignoring the smile that had inexplicably vanished from Su Yanzhi's face.

Her gaze fell on the spot where Su Yanzhi had been standing, but now, the empty place was under Zhao Henshan's feet.

On one rare occasion, when Zhao Henshan appeared, his gaze was not on Jiang Xingni, but on Su Yanzhi.

"How could you tell Xingxing?" Zhao Henshan murmured softly, her dark eyes fixed on Su Yanzhi.

Su Yanzhi raised an eyebrow, only then realizing why Zhao Henshan had targeted her.

Firstly, Su Yanzhi spread her discovery, and secondly... the person who made it known happened to be Jiang Xingni.

He shrank back behind Jiang Xingni with a sense of righteous indignation: "Quickly, Xingni, protect me right under your lover's nose."

Jiang Xingni: ...

Jiang Xingni: ?

Sometimes Jiang Xingni really wanted to just push Su Yanzhi out, or even just let him die.

She had indeed considered this possibility in her heart, but Jiang Xingni still had some morals.

Jiang Xingnian then looked up at Zhao Henshan, who was suspended in mid-air, and took a step forward to shield Su Yanzhi behind him.

Su Yanzhi, who was deliberately being obnoxious and thought Jiang Xingni would take this opportunity to push her out, was momentarily stunned.

By the time he realized what was happening, Jiang Xingni had already completely blocked him from behind.

Jiang Xingni even pressed Su Yanzhi down a little with the hand behind his back.

"Six years, two thousand people," Jiang Xing said calmly, glancing at Zhao Henshan. "What kind of suffering required two thousand lives to endure?"

Jiang Xingni was genuinely puzzled.

Yes, Zhao Henshan did indeed experience suffering, and her fate was truly tragic.

If those dead deserved their fate, Jiang Xingni would open a bottle of champagne to celebrate Zhao Henshan's massacre.

But in six years, nearly two thousand lives were lost. Did every single one of those two thousand people deserve to die?

Could it be that every single one of them was the murderer who harmed Zhao Henshan back then?

Zhao Henshan and Jiang Xingni exchanged glances. She tilted her head and asked, "Shouldn't I have done that?"

"I was raped, verbally abused, tortured, and beaten." Zhao Henshan's eyes narrowed into a smile. "I didn't make any of them experience the suffering I went through."

"I'm so kind, I just killed them, why blame me?" She blinked, her expression one of pure confusion and bewilderment.

"Does everyone deserve to die?" Jiang Xing asked.

Just like the two girls in the stadium who were the first to be killed by Zhao Henshan.

According to common perception, neither of them can be considered a good person.

They did not stand up for the victims of school bullying, but they did not become accomplices either.

They just watched, timid and hesitant, unsure whether they should step forward.

Then he died before he could make the decision.

Of course, according to Zhao Henshan's line of thinking, in her view, these hesitant people would eventually make up their minds and choose to stand on the side of the person who bullied her.

Therefore, it is perfectly reasonable to kill them before they make a decision.

But should every single one of them die?

Zhao Henshan looked at Jiang Xingni, his eyes still crinkling with a smile: "Isn't that right?"

"I've suffered so much. You pity those I killed, but why don't you pity me, Star?"

"They ignored me; they were accomplices in my murder. So what's wrong with me seeking revenge?"

Sure enough.

It wasn't too different from what Jiang Xingni had guessed.

Everything that Jiang Xingni and Su Yanzhi saw was arranged by Zhao Henshan.

The purpose was simply to let them know the suffering Zhao Henshan had endured, so that they could sympathize with her when making their choices, and make her feel, again and again, that she had done nothing wrong.

If Jiang Xingni continues down this path, all she will see is Zhao Henshan's memories of being bullied being projected over and over again at school.

But did Zhao Henshan achieve his goal...?

Leaving aside Jiang Xingni himself, Su Yanzhi certainly doesn't have that kind of empathy.

If it were any of the other members of the main cast—probably only Song Juexiao would be able to empathize with her.

Therefore, Zhao Henshan initially wanted to choose Song Juexiao and Jiang Xingni.

It's a pity we ended up with Su Yanzhi.

"You believe that all those people are guilty," Jiang Xingni repeated her point of view.

Zhao Henshan usually doesn't chat with people for this long. There are other people with superpowers in the school—Xiao Jiming is one example, isn't he?

However, Jiang Xingni is an exception.

Zhao Henshan nodded.

She thought, she really hoped that Jiang Xingni could understand her. She hadn't done anything wrong, she was the victim, so why was Jiang Xingni blaming her?

Didn't Jiang Xingni say that it wasn't her fault? Why is she acting like it's all her fault now?

"Wait, wait, wait." Su Yanzhi peeked out from under Jiang Xingni's hand and looked at Zhao Henshan. "So, you think the entire school, the students of that year, are turning a blind eye to what happened to you, so you want to kill the whole school."

"If you think the entire city of Tuhe is ignoring what happened to you, are you going to massacre the whole city of Tuhe?"

Jiang Xingni sensed something was wrong.

Before Su Yanzhi could say anything more provocative, she swiftly covered his mouth.

But it was too late.

Zhao Henshan heard the first sentence clearly.

Jiang Xing glanced at Zhao Henshan and saw his eyes light up, with an expression that said, "So that's how it can be understood."
