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

Chapter 125 Generation After Generation

Outside the door, several people walked in with smiles on their faces, even chatting and laughing as they went.

It wasn't until they saw the burn marks inside the laboratory—some areas were even blacker, probably because a small explosion had occurred while Su Yanzhi and He Jingtong were putting out the fire, but Su Yanzhi had managed to control it in time—that the leaders stopped laughing.

The person closest to Jiang Xingni was Xu Niannian. She didn't look at the leaders who had entered, but instead stared at the extinguished flames.

It was Xu Niannian who started the fire. Of course, she remembered what she originally wanted to achieve. If the fire had been too small, it certainly wouldn't have been able to burn down the entire school.

In other words, when Xu Niannian set the fire, she didn't expect it to be extinguished so easily.

"Who did this?" Someone—who looked young and not like the top leader himself—stepped forward, stood up abruptly, and looked around aggressively, but of course saw nothing.

Jiang Xingni noticed that Xu Niannian wanted to ask a question, but she didn't answer. Instead, she stepped forward and pulled Xu Niannian behind her.

Su Yanzhi raised a barrier around the entire team, shielding them perfectly behind him.

"Do you want me to kill them?" Su Yanzhi asked Jiang Xingni with a smile, turning her head slightly.

"While I always charge for murder, I can offer a discount if it's you, okay?"

Jiang Xingni rolled her eyes at him: "You should rescind my kill order first."

Su Yanzhi refused without even considering it.

"That won't do. Your wanted poster is worth the most money. I'm waiting for you to die."

"Besides," he said, his smile widening, "isn't it safer for me to assassinate you than for someone else to do so?"

Jiang Xingni:

Thank you, but I don't think so.

Being chased by the plot was already annoying enough, but now he has to be chased by Su Yanzhi as well.

Jiang Xingni ignored Su Yanzhi's words and turned her head to see Xu Niannian staring intently at her face.

She hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Are you filming Jujutsu Kaisen?"

...Where did this curse come from?

Xu Niannian saw Jiang Xingni once again show that expression, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know what to say.

The young girl giggled twice: "Just kidding."

To be honest, she didn't know where Jiang Xingni had gone, nor did she know why the person next to her could say something like "murder" without batting an eye.

Even when these words reached Jiang Xingni's ears, Jiang Xingni didn't react at all.

Just like Xu Niannian didn't know why Ji Shanqing had become a female ghost, or why she suddenly felt that Jiang Xingni would die.

She was only vaguely aware that she seemed to have stumbled into some incredible field, a field completely different from her previous life.

But since Jiang Xingni was here too, and Xingxing wouldn't harm her anyway, Xu Niannian lay down comfortably.

"What about your guaranteed admission?" This was the only thing Xu Niannian cared about the most.

She had no idea how many competitions Jiang Xingni had participated in and how much effort she had put in throughout high school to secure this guaranteed admission.

Jiang Xingni was just about to check on how Xiao Jiming was doing with the badge when he overheard Xu Niannian's question.

Although not much time had passed, Jiang Xingni suddenly felt as if he had been in another world.

"It's okay, we'll talk about it later." Jiang Xingni smiled at Xu Niannian, not dwelling on the topic any further. "Anyway, I've already achieved my goal—leaving my hometown and escaping the torment of senior year."

Xu Niannian silently glared at Jiang Xingni—how could he speak like that in front of a senior high school student?

That's terrible. How could you pretend to be so indifferent when you put in so much effort back then?

That's terrible—if it really is a school like in Jujutsu Kaisen or Harry Potter, why did they only find Jiang Xingni now? Why reap the rewards when everyone has to forge their own path? Why couldn't they have found her sooner so she wouldn't have to suffer so much?

"So you really gave up?" the system asked in Jiang Xingni's mind.

Jiang Xing glanced at him: "? Why are you interested in this too?"

Then she asked He Jingtong while explaining to the system.

"Of course not! Although Taixu Academy can be considered a university, it's a top-tier institution that I worked so hard to get into!"

"I'll just process the delayed enrollment in March," Jiang Xingni said calmly.

It's just a one-year delay in enrollment. Besides, even if Jiang Xingni enrolls this year, she'll still have to wait until September.

Perhaps by then, she will have already died before autumn, or perhaps she will have successfully escaped death and retired to go back to university?

Who can say for sure about something like this?

[Then why didn't you just say it directly and explain it to Xu Niannian?]

The reason is also very simple.

"It will be recorded in the comics," Jiang Xingni said softly.

These kinds of shonen manga with supernatural abilities are best kept as far removed from real life as possible. If things like college entrance exams and further education are mixed in, it's easy to pull people out of fantasy and into reality.

Therefore, Jiang Xingni would often avoid talking about this topic when the main characters were present.

A few words exchanged with Xu Niannian like this wouldn't cause any problems.

Comics don't tell everything in detail.

These two sentences—which have nothing to do with the protagonist Xiao Jiming and nothing to do with the development of the main storyline—will most likely be cut directly.

He Jingtong was unaware of the conversation between Jiang Xingni and the system in his mind.

"Is it related to the school leaders?" Xiao Jiming narrowed his eyes. "Why? Are they using people to feed monsters?"

Xiao Jiming finally raised his head, gripping the badge in his hand tightly: "No, you may not know, but when a student jumps off a building, how much money does the school have to cover it up?"

Whether it's suppressing public opinion or compensating the child's parents, it's a considerable sum of money.

If too many people jump off buildings, it is very likely to attract the attention of the authorities.

And now, a badge has appeared.

Although Xiao Jiming and the others did not know why the leaders were not targeted by Zhao Henshan or became the targets of some strange revenge after learning the truth back then.

However, something strange happens: every student who dies unnaturally is considered to be part of the entire school.

They would voluntarily erase their own existence in order to prevent their families from being killed by Zhao Henshan.

As a result, the Fourth Middle School has maintained a reputation for zero mortality rate for more than six years.

As a result, parents who love their children and want them to get high scores are pushing their children to get into this school.

And so the cycle continues, generation after generation.
