Chapter 186 Emergency Support
Jiang Xingni's gaze fell on the phone screen.
More precisely, it landed on the plot of the comic she had just seen.
The fingertips turned slightly white from the force applied.
She lowered her eyes, took a deep breath, and because she subconsciously restrained herself from crushing the phone, her fingertips trembled slightly.
She finally understood why the responses in the forum were so intense.
Although I knew what Song Juexiao's family background was like, knowing it and being repeatedly exposed to it are different feelings.
The first mention could be attributed to introducing the background to the readers. If the second mention wasn't to resolve Song Juexiao's family problems, Jiang Xingni would suspect that the screenwriter had no other stories to write and was deliberately torturing the fans to purify the story.
If this matter is brought up again and again, even if Song Juexiao is unable to detect anything due to the limitations of the plot, Jiang Xingni will try every means to assassinate the screenwriter.
Not to mention that real-world readers have been following the story for so long, and besides the plot of the comic, they can also get to know Song Juexiao from the screenwriter's attitude and various social media posts.
Jiang Xingni's phone was only linked to the forum. Most messages—if posted on social media platforms outside the forum—would be completely invisible to Jiang Xingni unless someone kindly reposted them back to the forum.
Moreover, Jiang Xingni doesn't keep an eye on the forum all the time.
When there are no updates, the forum is mostly filled with all sorts of fanfiction and arguments.
They're arguing! The arguments started from the very first chapter of the comic and they could go on forever!
From whether the screenwriter wrote a character out of character, to whether the screenwriter who wrote the new plot had even read the original manga, to who the "royal family" screenwriter is using whose name to promote whom—
They have a small argument every day and a big argument every three days, with a different argument every day and a cycle every week.
Therefore, Jiang Xingni rarely clicks into the comic when there are no updates.
For Jiang Xingni—who had only seen Song Juexiao's family background in the illusion of the wordless book a month or two ago—her first reaction to the latest plot of the comic was anger.
Not to mention the readers who are separated by the dimensional barrier, even if they have never actually met Song Juexiao, but have genuinely liked him for so long, Jiang Xingni can completely believe that their love for Song Juexiao is no less than his own.
At least she could still get feedback from Song Juexiao. All her kindness and affection were rewarded, and the relationship between people gradually strengthened through mutual debt.
She knew very well what kind of person Song Juexiao was.
Let alone becoming a housewife as depicted in the comics, even if Lin Hongguang wanted her to stay in a safe place and only act as an assistant in order to maximize her abilities and efficiency, Song Juexiao would absolutely not agree.
The plot in this illusion completely shatters Song Juexiao's personality, then confines her to a framework she would never normally enter, and then has a certain voice tell her this again and again.
Yes, that's good. Yes, stop doubting the world. Yes, that's the kind of person you are.
No matter how much Song Juexiao struggled within the framework, her anger and screams could not penetrate the screen and reach everyone who was watching her pain as a story.
Fans screamed and shouted in the forums, their voices turning into tears of blood, but the screenwriters just watched without truly understanding their pain.
"Xie Yungui," she suddenly spoke. "You bring the monster back to school; I'm going to Baoning City."
Boryeong City, the city where the five main characters went.
Xie Yungui, who was almost at the school gate, slowed down after hearing this.
"What did you see?" Xie Yungui asked, squinting. Before Jiang Xingni could answer, he changed the subject. "I'm sorry, but Captain, you can't abandon your teammates and act alone."
Jiang Xing glanced at the school gate, which was just a stone's throw away.
"We'll send the monster back." She then exited the forum, opened a ticketing app, and bought tickets for herself and Xie Yungui to the nearest train station to Baoning City.
At this moment, Jiang Xingni began to miss Su Yanzhi again.
Regardless of Su Yanzhi's character, his abilities are truly invaluable.
Although Jiang Xingni was unsure of the exact scope of Su Yan's supernatural abilities, even if they only allowed her to travel within the city, it would still save Jiang Xingni and Xie Yungui time getting from the school to the high-speed rail station.
Unfortunately, Su Yanzhi is now also trapped in Baoning City.
"Your abilities..." Xie Yungui drove through the slowly opening school gates and headed straight for the parking lot.
The two got out of the car and headed straight for the research center that dealt with the supernatural phenomena.
Jiang Xingni turned his head and glanced at Xie Yungui as he pushed the door open to enter.
—He knew.
A mysterious thought surfaced in Jiang Xingni's mind.
Although Jiang Xingni couldn't be sure what Xie Yungui knew or from which save file he realized it, as long as Xie Yungui didn't reveal it, there was no risk for Jiang Xingni for the readers to find out.
Jiang Xingni had even less reason to directly question him about what he knew.
"Is this the monster we captured?" The researcher looked at the monster trapped in Jiang Xingni's palm. Just as he was about to touch it, his hand passed right through it.
When Jiang Xingni used her newly acquired superpower to remove the monster from its eyes, she finally saw what the monster actually looked like.
The wispy mist drifted and dispersed in mid-air, then slowly gathered together again.
It was only about the size of a palm, baring its teeth and claws at Jiang Xingni and the researchers on the other side.
First it transformed into something like a monster, but seeing that no one present seemed afraid, it then turned into a small battlefield.
The flames of war exploded in Jiang Xingni's palm, but were then held captive by him, causing the entire monster to wilt and cease moving.
"Is the ability probably related to fear or the future?" Jiang Xingni gave a brief explanation. "But we don't have that much time to conduct a detailed investigation. Please send a copy of the report to my email address once the results are in."
The researchers nodded; it was perfectly understandable.
Compared to other students who go on missions and bring back a strange corpse—or even worse, no corpse at all—and then rely on their own guesses to describe the strangeness, Jiang Xingni and Xie Yungui are actually quite rare to be able to bring back a strange creature directly.
Jiang Xingni had just placed the monster into the specially made cage when he received an urgent communication from Lin Hongguang.
"Jiang Xingni, Xiao Jiming and the others have run into some problems with their mission and need the two of you to provide support."
