Chapter 270 Staying in Touch
Jiang Xingni's first reaction was confusion.
How did they know Longinus would be in this instance?
They should only know that Longinus is a member of the Hidden Order, so why was their first reaction to contact Longinus when something went wrong during the joint entrance exams of the three schools?
She narrowed her eyes, and in them she could see a dark, eerie mass trying to crawl out of the computer screen and entangle Jiang Xingni.
But she only glanced at the other person casually, then calmly closed the laptop screen.
Tsk.
Can't you see she's busy right now?
Can you please not do things that disturb her thinking?
Even if we're going to fight, let's wait until she's done with her work before bothering her.
The black-haired, golden-eyed girl bent down, her long black hair falling from her shoulders and landing on the laptop.
A strange black aura leaked out from the gap in the laptop, and then struggled to climb upwards along Jiang Xingni's long, drooping hair.
Jiang Xingni simply smiled at it quietly.
"Sorry, I'm busy right now." Her tone was gentle. "Come kill me after I'm done."
Then she gently tossed her head, and the strange creature clinging to Jiang Xingni's hair was shaken off.
A pale golden light danced at her fingertips.
—It was Jiang Xingni who purified the entire Baoning City with a single arrow.
Now, Jiang Xingni carefully controlled his strength, wanting to test whether he could still exert such great power after losing the screenwriter's support.
It's unclear what the upper limit is.
But as Jiang Xingni's fingertips touched the edge of the gap in the laptop, he seemed to hear those eerie screams.
They screamed incessantly in Jiang Xingni's mind, burned by his supernatural abilities.
Then it was slowly burned to ashes.
"Now," Jiang Xingni said, feigning nonchalance slightly—what if this scene was chosen? Jiang Xingni still hoped to gain the readers' favor—and then calmly spoke to the system in her mind, "What exactly happened?"
The messages that Yamasumi and his group sent to Longinus were not directly sent to Jiang Xingni's contact information.
Jiang Xingni didn't believe in his own hacking skills. Even though there was someone like Pei Zhaoye in the main group, Jiang Xingni didn't actually trust Pei Zhaoye.
Besides herself, she could only trust the system to use this disguise.
Therefore, the contact information for Longinus that Jiang Xingni provided was actually the system's inbox.
Even if the hacking skills in this world are so advanced, the system is still a system that can access the three-dimensional world and even successfully hacked into Jiang Xingni's private information. Jiang Xingni has reason to believe that his privacy will not be leaked by the system.
They are essentially in the same boat.
If something needs to be shown to readers, it should be exhibited. How exactly did she achieve these methods and reach this outcome? That's why Jiang Xingni chose Pei Zhaoye at this time.
Knowing that Pei Zhaoye had learned of this, Jiang Xingni was bound to be prepared that one day, this information would also be sold out by Pei Zhaoye.
The system doesn't have so many concerns.
Jiang Xingni could delegate everything to the system—things that didn't need to be shown to the audience, and that couldn't possibly be known by the main characters or anyone else around her.
The system retrieves the data stream received by one of its subsystems.
—Once the message is successfully received by the system, it becomes a data stream composed of 0s and 1s. Even if it is accidentally intercepted, all they see are the 0s and 1s that have been transformed in the middle. For these people from the two-dimensional world, characters from the script created by the screenwriter, and who have slowly and naturally evolved into new life forms, it is impossible for them to break the system's encryption system.
In less than a second, the system restored the chaotic data stream to its original state.
[It's not because of the joint entrance exam between the three schools.] The system projected these words onto Jiang Xingni. [It's because of VOID.]
After the last time, in the lower city area.
Jiang Xingni shifted all the blame onto VOID, which made Shan Yu and the others wary of VOID.
After two months of tracking, they finally discovered VOID's trail.
Although they arrived a few steps late, they eventually shared the news with Longinus, who was also dealing with the VOID organization, so they could be considered allies.
Jiang Xingni chuckled softly, her gaze coldly fixed on the floating text in front of her.
This time, VOID is facing off against the joint entrance exam of three schools.
Our initial assessment is that their targets are likely Jiang Xingni and Xiao Jiming. Our records show that both of them are from the Lower City, and they may possess the information VOID is looking for.
[Will the hidden order have related members?]
Hearing her cold laugh, the system asked a question in confusion.
【Star, what are you laughing at?】
Jiang Xingni really wanted to laugh, and of course, she actually laughed out loud.
"It's nothing." Jiang Xingni didn't share her thoughts with outsiders, nor did she have the inclination to dissect all her ideas and show them to others.
But in reality, Jiang Xingni was making fun of the 49th Bureau.
Is this the hidden plot that the screenwriter arranged for the main characters?
If the plot hadn't progressed to the point of midterm exams, Jiang Xingni would have known very well that no matter how they investigated, they would never be able to find any trace of VOID.
VOID is meant to serve as a stepping stone for Xiao Jiming and his group's growth.
She didn't feel sorry for VOID, who was used as a stepping stone. What really made Jiang Xingni feel sad was the 49th Bureau.
Their investigation results and progress were completely dictated by the screenwriter, leaving them no room to break free.
Just like so many other people.
Another point is that it's unclear who initiated such an obvious probing act.
—Do they really think that Jiang Xingni can expose whether the Hidden Order Society has spies in the three academies because of such a sentence?
This tone really doesn't sound like something Yamasumi would say.
She smiled, neither confirming nor denying the question posed by the Hidden Order.
[A joint entrance exam for the three academies? I understand.]
I'll check on the joint entrance exams and keep in touch.
Jiang Xingni certainly didn't intend to expose her arrangements within Taixu Academy because of this, but at the same time, she also needed to use it to cultivate an image.
