Chapter 134 Where are my teammates?
The system suddenly went silent.
It remained silent for a long time—so long that Jiang Xingni was too lazy to continue explaining his plan to it and was preparing to plan his next move when it finally spoke.
【Wait a minute!!】The system exclaimed in shock. 【You mean, you want everyone in this world to know about superhumans and strange creatures?】
The system couldn't believe it.
[Screenwriter, the author will definitely hunt you down. This comic was created without the knowledge of ordinary people...]
[If you change this setting, the author will definitely hunt you down.]
Even the main characters might not be able to protect you.
The system knew how much Jiang Xingni cared about his life or death.
From the very beginning, she only agreed to be bound to me in order to survive.
All the efforts I've made along the way have been to make myself more capable and able to live longer.
However, if Jiang Xingni really chooses this path, she may not be able to survive until the finale after reaching the top of the popularity rankings.
The system can foresee how, in the future, the author will use various techniques to demonstrate that the path Jiang Xingni chose is unreasonable and inhumane, and that only the path she provides is the best choice.
Readers at a higher level, after all, have a limited perspective and can only learn about a corner of the world from the narratives of screenwriters and authors.
It was naturally easy for the author to smear Jiang Xingni's theory.
How can the existence of a lower-level narrative be hostile to an upper-level narrative?
Then Jiang Xingni will really become a villain, and might even be condemned by everyone because his ideology is too extreme.
The more the system thought about it, the more frightened it became.
【Are you really sure?】System warning.
"That's why I created an alternate account," Jiang Xingni lazily replied to the system's words in his mind.
She was well aware of the risks involved in the path she had chosen, but to be honest, Jiang Xingni didn't care much.
She knew that the author and screenwriter would definitely portray the person who chose this path as a pure villain, so Jiang Xingni could follow the screenwriter's idea and create a villainous persona.
"Every story needs a villain," Jiang Xingni said calmly.
"Since I joined the main characters, I don't think I've ever seen a villain who can be a main character throughout the entire storyline."
"For screenwriters, creating a reasonable and convincing villain also requires time and effort."
Jiang Xingni analyzed the situation calmly.
So she filled that void, even though what she wanted to do went against the basic rules set by the creators of this world.
—But it doesn't matter. Given the value Jiang Xingni provides, the author won't kill Jiang Xingni the moment the villain's alternate identity appears.
This would give Jiang Xingni enough time to build up her popularity.
"The villains aren't exactly unpopular either," Jiang Xingni said with a light laugh. "Anyway, the path of riding on popularity is no longer viable, and because of the battle on the forums, other fans probably don't like me anymore, so why not just find another way?"
It might attract a lot of villain fans who hate the righteous path?
The system still doesn't understand.
[What's the use of surviving the very beginning?] The system retorted.
Wasn't Jiang Xingni's goal to survive to the end?
Even if they survive the beginning, what good ending is there for the villains?
Unless this comic is serialized forever, never ends, and always needs the most popular villain, it will never be possible to create a new villain to replace Jiang Xingni.
Jiang Xingni could understand all the underlying meanings behind the system's words, hence his obvious worry.
She chuckled lightly, glanced back at the main group still discussing, and briefly looked up, focusing her attention on Jiang Xingni.
He was immediately put at ease by Jiang Xingni's light smile.
Jiang Xingni made a gesture to He Jingnian from a distance, and the other party nodded and watched Jiang Xingni leave.
"Don't forget, if it weren't for you, I would have died long ago." Jiang Xingni said calmly.
She still remembers where she came from.
She was once an ordinary person. She also suffered from ignorant persecution and torment, and she almost died unknowingly at the hands of a monster.
Jiang Xingni was the one who saved this life.
She will try her best to live, after all, the will to survive is a basic instinct ingrained in everyone's bones.
But she also had a very open-minded view of death.
Anyway, I should have died a long time ago, and I'm only alive now because of the system.
In any case, Jiang Xingni has ultimately come out on top.
"We'll live as long as we can," Jiang Xingni laughed heartily. "But humanity can no longer live in ignorance."
Ignorance often breeds fear.
Even in death, they should know the truth, know who killed their family and friends, and know which direction to take if they want revenge in the future.
In this worldview, the mechanisms of the supernatural are not understood by people, although the author has given some explanation as a way to avoid causing confusion.
However, this mechanism also prevents the victim's family from knowing what killed their loved one and their right to know the truth.
Even more people, after their death, have their very existence erased in order to conceal this from the majority of people and to hide the truth of the world.
Since it has never been born, it will naturally never die.
She should clear their names; she should reveal the truth to the public.
Even if this isn't your responsibility?
"This is my responsibility," Jiang Xingni corrected its words.
Jiang Xing thought to herself—she and they were just ordinary people, just like everyone else ...
What reason does she have to say that this is not her responsibility?

On the other side, the group finally finished discussing what kind of reason they should come up with to successfully fool Lin Hongguang.
They weren't unaware that Jiang Xingni wasn't participating in their discussion.
But that's understandable, since Jiang Xingni is new here and not very familiar with Lin Hongguang.
Furthermore, Jiang Xingni has already agreed to take responsibility for their self-criticisms, so it's time for them to come up with ideas on how to reduce the score of their self-criticisms as much as possible.
After the discussion concluded, Xiao Jiming subconsciously looked up to see Jiang Xingni's reaction, only to find the surroundings completely empty, with no one there at all.
Xiao Jiming: ...
Where are my teammates?
