Chapter 218 Beat, beat, beat!
Jiang Xingni, who was inexplicably mistaken for a Pretty Cure: ?
Jiang Xingni had no idea what the little girl she had just rescued was thinking.
She was completely unaware that because of her black hair, black mask, and black cloak—she was dressed entirely in black—Lu Ming behind her mistook her for a magical girl or something similar.
She simply squinted as she examined what was in front of her.
Fortunately, they arrived in time, Jiang Xing thought to himself with a sense of relief.
Although Jiang Xingni had already told the system to escape with Lu Ming before coming here.
However, it is clear that even if the system wanted to control the mechanical equipment in the room, it could simply take Lu Ming away.
Lu Ming was completely uncooperative, simply sitting on the ground with his eyes closed and arms crossed, as if in prayer.
Even if a system has extraordinary abilities, it is ultimately not a real, tangible entity.
In this situation, no matter how powerful the system is, it cannot create an entity out of thin air to grab Lu Ming and run away.
It kept using whatever it could to urge Luming to stand up and run faster, but it was no use.
In the end, the system could only rely on what it could control to create some trouble for the monster that was about to find Luming, and try its best to make Luming hold out until Jiang Xingni arrived.
Don't end up like her parents, who were killed by monsters without even getting a chance to be rescued.
Fortunately, Jiang Xingni arrived just in time. Lu Ming was still holding herself and praying quietly. The system could notice that tears were silently falling from the corners of her tightly closed eyes.
Even though he was terrified, Lu Ming still didn't think about running away.
As the system looked at Lu Ming, its memory, occupied by various data streams, suddenly realized something, a more human-like awareness—it was not the savior Lu Ming had been hoping for.
What Lu Ming was hoping for was a savior who could rescue her from all her suffering as soon as he appeared, rather than someone like the system, who could help her but prevent her from standing up and running away to save her own life.
The system only felt that if this savior had not appeared.
Perhaps Lu Ming would rather die like this.
Her will to survive wasn't particularly strong to begin with.
The system was not the savior Lu Ming had hoped for, nor was it a character capable of rescuing her from the crisis.
So, is Jiang Xingni the one?
It wasn't that the system underestimated Jiang Xingni's personal charm, but rather that the system knew very well what kind of personality Jiang Xingni had.
Jiang Xingni may indeed show kindness to innocent people, but that doesn't mean he can let others do nothing and place all their hopes on him.
If you can't be saved, then prepare to die.
It is a pity.
The system, through the perspective of the monitoring equipment, stared at Lu Ming, whose eyes were bright and gleaming, watching Jiang Xingni.
It thought to itself with absolute certainty that Jiang Xingni was definitely not the savior that Lu Ming was hoping for.
*
To be honest, Jiang Xingni didn't care at all what the system was thinking.
She still clutched the long knife in her hand—the one she had snatched from the group of five earlier.
Jiang Xingni didn't bring any weapons—carrying weapons would prevent him from passing through security smoothly. In order to take the high-speed rail back to Tuhe City instead of having to walk, Jiang Xingni regretfully gave up the idea of bringing his own weapons.
Even considering the secrecy of her itinerary, Jiang Xingni couldn't just ask Xiao Jiming how he managed to bring a knife onto the plane last time.
Moreover, Jiang Xingni's impression of Xiao Jiming has not yet been cleared, and it is unknown how Pei Zhaoye and the others will ultimately deal with the suspicions exposed by Xiao Jiming.
Therefore, Jiang Xingni naturally decided that if any battle rounds occurred, he could simply pick up a weapon in the lower city and fight.
Even if the weapon was just a brick, it would be enough to kill someone in Jiang Xingni's hands.
She squinted, scrutinizing the strange creature before her.
Unlike the strange creatures Jiang Xingni had seen in the outside world—especially Zhao Henshan—he didn't have much self-awareness; he just stared at Lu Ming with his scarlet eyes.
Shadows, like tentacles, danced wildly around it, slapping against the wall and leaving whip marks on it.
The white plaster on the wall was falling down in a rustling sound.
However, this power is very suitable for scaring ordinary people like Lu Ming who have never seen many strange things.
In Jiang Xingni's eyes, they were not even as threatening as the innocent people who had been infected by the monsters and turned into half-monsters and half-humans.
At least when they slammed their fists into the wall, they almost knocked the wall down.
Now, this monster does look quite menacing, but the power it causes doesn't seem to be very great.
It can only scare children like Lu Ming.
If there was anything special about it, Jiang Xingni could only see that its eyes never left Lu Ming's body from beginning to end; it simply stared at Lu Ming intently and silently.
Jiang Xingni could clearly see the killing intent in its eyes.
It's as if its sole purpose in being born was to kill Lu Ming.
The monster suddenly moved.
The tentacles formed of shadows silently lunged toward Jiang Xingni.
Jiang Xingni smiled slightly behind the mask. He didn't know why his superpower had suddenly advanced, and he hadn't had a chance to study this evolved superpower in detail.
Now is a good opportunity.
A golden vision slowly unfolded in Jiang Xingni's eyes, followed by the ability to touch everything, and information also began to spread in Jiang Xingni's mind.
It's like an omniscient panel, except it only takes effect when Jiang Xingni chooses to activate his superpower.
Jiang Xingni took a deep breath, pulling himself out of his wandering thoughts and focusing his consciousness solely on the strange creature before him.
Shadow tentacles waving in mid-air.
Jiang Xing could clearly see the tentacles attacking him from below.
Finally, there were two shadowy tentacles that, under the cover of the main force, hid in Jiang Xingni's blind spot and should not have been discovered, quietly meandering towards Luming's direction.
--originally.
But Jiang Xing saw it.
Lu Ming still couldn't make out what the so-called monster looked like. She could only see that the man in black in front of her had a fierce expression and then suddenly moved.
The long sword in his hand danced, leaving traces of sound.
She leaped lightly through the air. Although Lu Ming couldn't see clearly what kind of being Jiang Xingni was fighting, it didn't stop Lu Ming's eyes from following Jiang Xingni closely.
On the other side—Jiang Xingni was about to laugh in exasperation at Lu Ming.
Tentacles are not a problem for Jiang Xingni. Even if there are too many, they will not threaten Jiang Xingni's safety. They can even become materials for Jiang Xingni to familiarize himself with his superpower.
The biggest problem is that the monster's goal has always been Lu Ming.
But Lu Ming, that idiot, didn't run at all.
