When will Chapter 161 be released?
—I won't let you die.
At first glance, it sounds very appealing.
Thank you. Jiang Xingni thought to herself. I'll try my best to make sure I don't die.
But to be honest, whether she ultimately lived or died was not something Xie Yungui could decide.
Jiang Xingni smiled politely and thanked Xie Yungui.
As for Xie Yungui's words, "I won't let you die," he didn't respond at all.
As she was leaving the two men's sight, she suddenly turned back to look.
His gaze went unnoticed by anyone.
Zhou Xia and Lin Hongguang stared at each other coldly, unaware of the subtle movements happening on the other side.
Perhaps it's because they're too focused on each other.
Or perhaps… Jiang Xingni narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, his gaze sweeping over himself and Xiao Jiming.
An invisible energy surrounds them, eliminating any possibility of being discovered and any potential harm.
It was more like Song Juexiao's words that had an effect, and that's how everything started to work.
Despite the numerous consequences, all the harm will vanish without a trace under the vague protection of Song Juexiao's words.
All the malice was completely wiped out before it could have any effect.
It was absolute luck, and also a blessing from Song Juexiao.
Therefore, if everything goes smoothly overnight, it will all be a false alarm.
I just don't know... Jiang Xingni wondered, does He Jingtong know about this?
She carefully observed the traces around her and the people around her.
Song Juexiao's blessing was not very obvious, without any abrupt colors or light, and in the darkness of night, it was even more easily covered by the surrounding darkness.
Her gaze swept around, and she only saw the protection and blessings that Song Juexiao had given her in Xiao Jiming and herself.
"Go back to the dormitory," Jiang Xingni said in a low voice before Xiao Jiming could speak.
Xiao Jiming met her gaze, then directly relinquished control.
"Song Juexiao." Jiang Xingni didn't explain much, she just said the name.
Then Xiao Jiming realized what she was talking about.
—The words of power that Song Juexiao gave them before they left have not been lifted to this day, so they naturally do not know what Song Juexiao's current state is.
One can only guess that Song Juexiao's situation couldn't be too easy.
After all, it was by his own efforts that they managed to remain undetected during the argument between Lin Hongguang and Zhou Xia.
Jiang Xingni was genuinely worried about Song Juexiao's current condition.
At the same time, we have to be thankful for one thing—thankfully, Song Juexiao didn't come along.
If Song Juexiao were also with them, none of them could be considered safe.
Xie Yungui did not express any objection, and neither did He Jingtong.
Even if they didn't set off with them, they could guess there was a reason when Jiang Xingni mentioned Song Juexiao.
They returned to their dormitory via the same route they had taken.
Jiang Xingni did not go back to her own bedroom, but went to the hall of her and Song Juexiao's dormitory.
Then he knocked on Song Juexiao's bedroom door.
No one answered.
Xiao Jiming glanced at Jiang Xingni, but this time Jiang Xingni did not meet his gaze.
She took out her key—the key Song Juexiao had given her a few days ago. Jiang Xingni hadn't thought she'd need it so soon, but she hadn't expected it.
Song Juexiao's door was opened silently, and Jiang Xingni pushed it open and entered. The first thing she saw was Song Juexiao lying on the bed, his face pale.
Hearing the door open, Song Juexiao raised his eyes and then smoothed his long red hair back.
Her lips were still pale, but her gaze toward Jiang Xingni was fine.
"What exactly did you all do?" Song Juexiao asked earnestly.
"If I hadn't gone with you, I always felt that none of us would have come back."
Jiang Xingni thought to himself that it was unlikely he wouldn't be able to come back.
After all, Lin Hongguang is still the teacher of the main characters. Judging from Xie Yungui's reaction—Xie Yungui even obediently calls Lin Teacher—then Lin Hongguang should not betray the main characters.
In this situation, even if Xiao Jiming and his group were exposed, they wouldn't be in mortal danger and would be killed to silence them.
The only risk is that the plot might change a lot later on, since they've alerted the enemy.
Jiang Xingni reached out and touched Song Juexiao's forehead. Fortunately, he didn't have a fever, but was just a little weak from overusing his abilities.
"I'm fine." Song Juexiao shook his head, indicating that he was not injured.
The reason why they didn't get up after hearing the knock on the door is quite simple.
She smiled and stared at Jiang Xingni, then poked his hand with her fingertip.
Jiang Xingni naturally opened his hand, revealing a key in his palm—the very key that had just opened Song Juexiao's door.
"Don't you feel that this key is quite necessary?" Song Juexiao said with a smile.
Jiang Xingni:
That works too.
Since it was Song Juexiao's little scheme, Jiang Xingni decided to indulge him.
She led Song Juexiao to the living room.
After observing Song Juexiao's condition and confirming that there were no major problems, Xiao Jiming allowed He Jingtong to speak.
"Who is that?" Song Juexiao asked, sitting on the sofa and looking at Xie Yungui, who was far away from the four of them.
"Xie Yungui," Xiao Jiming introduced simply. "A new member to be recruited, whose special ability is related to precognition."
Song Juexiao didn't say anything, just shrugged: "Okay, Su Yanzhi is here, another new person—what's the matter this time?"

He Jingtong arrived just in time to overhear their conversation.
"...You mean, Fourth Middle School was also your guinea pig?" Lin Hongguang was almost laughing out of anger as he asked, enunciating each word clearly.
"Nearly two thousand people, and you just treat them like disposable personnel?"
Zhou Xia chuckled softly: "Old Lin, you're still so excited."
"They're just under a lot of academic pressure; how can we treat them like disposable personnel?"
"Besides, we've actually wanted to turn back a long time ago, but because of Zhao Henshan... you know, we couldn't stop him, could we?"
"If we forcibly stop it, it could easily make the entire Tuhe City resent Zhao Henshan."
"We are powerless to help," Zhou Xia said with a soft sigh.
Lin Hongguang didn't believe her at all.
He cared more about the living than about the dead, whose fates were already sealed.
"So many deaths, and we had no idea," Lin Hongguang said in a low voice, his gaze fixed on Zhou Xia. "What exactly happened at Fourth Middle School?"
This is what Jiang Xingni and Xiao Jiming heard.
"Also?" Song Juexiao repeated He Jingtong's words. "Any other places?"
—Of course.
Jiang Xing glanced at the place where he grew up.
I just don't know when it will be its turn to become a subplot in a comic.
