Chapter 254 Protagonist Treatment
Chapter 254 Protagonist Treatment
She can't just leave like this.
She couldn't bear to watch the arrogance of those with superpowers and the unknowing deaths of ordinary people, and then leave pretending she knew nothing.
She couldn't bear to leave as a survivor after seeing Shan Qing, because of a screenwriter's random idea, throw herself into her "predestined" fate and meet an inevitable death.
If she can defy fate, why should someone like Shan Qing have to die?
In terms of both screen time and importance, Shan Qing's role is actually more prominent than Jiang Xingni's in the beginning.
However, in the end, Yamako died for such a vague reason as "the screenwriter wanted to create a character and then kill her."
Is it because they don't have a system?
So they could only let it be.
Ants can be fooled by humans.
People don't consider playing with ants to be immoral; at most, it's just something done out of boredom.
It is not morally reprehensible for authors in upper-level narratives to arbitrarily arrange the fates of their characters based on personal preferences and money.
However, it is quite reasonable for the ants to take revenge on the humans who controlled them after they awaken.
Moreover, Jiang Xingni had no intention of seeking revenge—well, that's a lie. In reality, Jiang Xingni had considered traveling to the real world to make the screenwriter who had fooled their fates pay the price.
However, Jiang Xingni did not have this ability.
So Jiang Xingni's current goal has become simply to get humans to stop toying with ants.
"I won't just disappear like this," Jiang Xingni repeated to the system.
I also mentally went over what choice I would make.
Upon hearing this answer, the system's first reaction was confusion.
It spun aimlessly through Jiang Xingni's mind.
I just can't figure out why Jiang Xingni would resolutely abandon the chance to live when it was right in front of him, and instead choose to continue following the main characters.
But the system has learned its lesson.
Although it is unknown why Jiang Xingni does this, it is enough to just listen to Jiang Xingni. Jiang Xingni will naturally not harm it, and will often take a better path than the route it can arrange.
"Alright then." It updated its goal in the database. Having just been resurrected from the dead, the program automatically rewrote the original path with "ensuring Jiang Xingni's survival as the ultimate goal," presenting the original route anew. "Isn't your ultimate mission to survive?"
In fact, the system had already had a premonition of this.
Although Jiang Xingni kept saying that she wanted to live and wanted to find out the truth about her parents' deaths.
However, he did not seem to be particularly afraid of death, and even when the truth was revealed, he did not seem particularly sad about the wrongful deaths of his parents.
Most of the time, the most intense emotion she expressed was anger.
Anger at those with superpowers who look down on ordinary people, and anger at the innocent suffering of ordinary people.
The anger stems from the fact that the screenwriters arbitrarily manipulate their fates, leaving them with absolutely no chance to resist—some even dying without ever knowing it.
The two kinds of anger are so similar in nature.
They are all expressions of anger at being deceived, regulated, and manipulated towards a predetermined fate.
The system pondered for a moment, then recalled the words it had once used to tease Jiang Xingni.
It has once again confirmed its judgment.
"You really are a control freak!" the system suddenly realized.
How could a control freak tolerate someone else controlling their path?
They can only control the fate of others, not let their own fate be controlled by others.
Jiang Xingni originally wanted to refute.
Finally, she could only let out a deep sigh in her heart.
"I'm not a control freak." At least, this anger wasn't simply caused by being a control freak.
However, the system completely disbelieves this explanation.
How could it be for such a simple and flimsy reason?
The gene for rebellion has long been written into everyone's genes.
Jiang Xingni chuckled silently, then pulled his thoughts away from his interaction with the system.

The midterm exams are still some time away, and Jiang Xingni's more important task right now is to study.
As members of the main characters, Jiang Xingni and Xiao Jiming were naturally in the same class.
Unfortunately, Taixu Academy uses a flexible class scheduling system.
In other words, apart from the superpower training classes and physical training classes they took together, they all chose the same academic subject to form a temporary class.
Xiao Jiming and the others spent much more time at Taixu Academy than Jiang Xingni did, and naturally, they had completed far more academic courses.
As a result, Jiang Xingni ended up having to study most of his academic subjects all by himself.
There are many courses to choose from at Taixu Academy.
Jiang Xingni's gaze finally settled on the names of several courses.
[Detailed Introduction to the World of Supernatural Abilities—Why Can't Ordinary People Know the Truth About the World?]
[Analysis of Monsters: How to Find Their Weaknesses?]
What have we gained from the monsters? — An excellent resource, the monsters.
……
The system looked at the list of courses Jiang Xingni had selected and couldn't help but start complaining.
[You took that second course purely to earn credits, didn't you!]
After all, Jiang Xingni is someone with the Eye of Truth.
The monster's weaknesses, abilities, attack trajectories, and so on were all things that Jiang Xingni could determine with a single glance.
There's no need to go through the trouble of observing like they do, and then trying to guess whether the answer you get is right or wrong.
If encountered in a real mission, the worst-case scenario would be to use human lives to test whether the identified weaknesses are real or not.
If it's fake... then everything is overturned and we start all over again.

The moment Jiang Xingni stepped into the classroom, the once bustling and noisy classroom suddenly fell silent.
Jiang Xingni raised an eyebrow thoughtfully.
She suddenly had a strange premonition.
And then that premonition came true.
"I heard your special ability is something like the Eye of Truth? Can you see through the weaknesses of monsters directly?"
Someone came out of the classroom, their tone tinged with resentment.
Jiang Xingni smiled.
【How dare they provoke you?!】The system was furious.
Subconsciously, he used Jiang Xingni's line of sight to see what technological products were in the classroom, and how he could teach this group a lesson.
"Wow."
Jiang Xingnian was inwardly surprised by this.
"I'm actually getting the treatment of a main character now."
The protagonist's halo.
Upon entering a new environment, one is bound to encounter provocations and other behaviors, which may lead to a humiliating defeat.
