Chapter 207 Jiang Xingni walked over

It is already springtime, but being in the north, there is still a sense of desolation.

New buds were just beginning to sprout on the trees, a stark contrast to the capital city and Baoning City where Jiang Xingni had just stayed.

Jiang Xingni was wearing her black cloak.

The cloak completely enveloped her figure, and the wide hood completely concealed Jiang Xingni's face. In addition, Jiang Xingni deliberately changed to platform shoes and altered her walking posture—having had the experience of wearing a vest the first time, Jiang Xingni was quite skilled this time.

To prevent the hood of his cape from accidentally falling off, Jiang Xingni also wore a mask underneath that completely covered his face—his golden eyes and features resembling his parents' were all hidden behind the mask.

The lower district was still the same as Jiang Xingni knew.

People come and go, and the ground is still covered with stains that haven't been cleaned yet, and it's highly unlikely that anyone will clean it.

Among the majority of people dressed in ordinary clothes, Jiang Xingni stood out in his black robe.

She could notice that many people were looking at her, with a sense of assessment and evaluation, trying to figure out whether she was an easy outsider to be taken advantage of.

Jiang Xingni's reaction to this was merely to tilt his head slightly.

The dagger hidden beneath the cloak twirled lightly before plunging into another person's hand without hesitation.

Just now, he tried to slip his hand through the gap in Jiang Xingni's cloak.

Jiang Xingni didn't know if he wanted to casually touch her or try to take some money from her.

But the reason is not important.

In any case, Jiang Xingni had gotten a good opportunity to make an example of someone.

The dagger wasn't particularly sharp; it was just a knife that Jiang Xingni had casually taken from him. She hadn't really thought it would be that sharp.

The blade was even covered in rust and some kind of grime, which hadn't been cleaned.

However, a blunt blade piercing a person's limbs causes even more pain.

Unlike cutting through tofu, which smoothly slices through human tissue, the rust and dulled blade, along with the connected flesh and blood, pierce the palm directly from the inside out under the force of brute force.

You can even see obvious human tissue hanging on the blade after it has been pierced.

He was about to scream and howl when he looked up and met Jiang Xingni's gaze.

Through the shadow of the hood and the mask, the other person could not actually see that familiar face and those golden eyes.

However, he could clearly feel the ensuing threat, as if he were being watched by some large, ferocious beast, whose eyes were scanning his body, waiting to find a suitable spot, a place with plenty of tender flesh, to bite into.

He couldn't help but shudder.

In reality, Jiang Xing only gave the other party a light, fleeting glance: ?

Jiang Xingni had no idea what kind of person Dihua had thought of him. He simply took advantage of the situation and threw away the dagger in his hand.

The force pulled the man off balance, causing him to stumble a few steps before he lost his footing and fell to the ground. The dagger stuck in his hand even struck the ground, inflicting a second injury.

Jiang Xing glanced at it from the side, then innocently raised an eyebrow under the mask.

That was the reason he lost his footing; Jiang Xingni hadn't done anything except take a step back.

The little incident didn't take up too much of Jiang Xingni's time. The better news was that because of this incident, not many people would look at Jiang Xingni with the same prejudiced eyes as a local because of her appearance.

In short, it was actually a good thing for Jiang Xingni.

Jiang Xingni himself was happy to be relaxed.

Compared to the outside world, what Jiang Xingni is most used to, in a sense, is that the rules of conduct here are mostly not bound by law.

Although she couldn't understand how such a lawless place could exist in this country, and no one even questioned it.

Why does this happen? Why is it not punished by law? Why can't it be dealt with simply by using a coordinate in counter-terrorism operations?

Jiang Xingni was able to come up with some reasons—such as the large number of innocent people involved, the wider scope of the impact, and the inability to control the situation if dealt with hastily.

However, this still doesn't fundamentally answer Jiang Xingni's question.

If we really want to solve these problems, none of the ones Jiang Xingni came up with are worth hesitating about.

Outside, Jiang Xingni tends to be more restrained in his actions, rarely inflicting fatal injuries on ordinary people. He doesn't want to end up in the police station if he goes too far outside.

It is in the lower city that she will truly let go and do things.

She lowered her eyes, but her thoughts drifted back to Su Yanzhi.

If Su Yan knew this, it would be quite in line with his habits.

The issue that doesn't fit is property – wealthy people generally don't stay in the lower city for long; those who can move out have already done so.

[Song Juexiao contacted you, asking if you want to go out for a walk this weekend.] The system has been monitoring Jiang Xingni's social media accounts and relaying these messages.

Jiang Xing glanced at the time; it was Wednesday. He had been exploring ways to leave the capital for the past few days.

She even considered leaving on foot.

After trying it out, it turned out that everyone in the group was able to move forward freely.

Jiang Xingni, however, seemed to be trapped in a thick fog.

A dreamlike mist enveloped her, and when she emerged from it, the familiar city was before her again.

Jiang Xingni was unable to leave even a step.

It's like playing a game with a limited area. Once you reach the edge of the map, no matter how many bugs you exploit, you'll always end up being teleported back to the starting point.

She estimated the time in her mind and finally replied to the system in her mind.

"Tell Song Juexiao to see how my recovery goes."

Jiang Xingni used the excuse of his exhausted superpowers to extricate himself from the plot.

The screenwriter was also happy to reduce Jiang Xingni's presence at this time. Although the two were separated by time and space and had different ultimate goals, they were in perfect agreement for a short time.

—The final result is what it is now.

The flow of people coming and going suddenly stopped for a moment.

Jiang Xingni raised his head as if he sensed something and looked in one direction.

She saw a mass of death energy gathering in that direction.

Someone died.

This is not uncommon.

No one screamed. People passing by the body simply frowned silently and muttered a curse.

Jiang Xingnian walked over.
