Chapter 274 Taking Advantage of Someone's Downfall
Jiang Xingni's special ability is actually quite easy to identify.
—For Pei Zhaoye.
No one else's superpower will ever give Pei Zhaoye such an immediate feeling that he absolutely cannot lie, just like Jiang Xingni's.
It wasn't the kind of gentle, comforting, trustworthy feeling that made you involuntarily speak the truth.
It was more like a forced act, as if he were submitting to Jiang Xingni, and the emperor was lowering his eyes and gently admonishing him, and then he bowed his head and obeyed.
Wherever her gaze falls, Pei Zhaoye will suddenly realize that he has been silenced and can only keep quiet.
He didn't know whether this trait was specific to him or if others experienced it as well.
To be honest, Pei Zhaoye actually quite enjoyed it—if it was just him alone, wouldn't that be considered a special treatment?
Pei Zhaoye thought to himself.
*
Jiang Xingni, of course, had no idea what Pei Zhaoye was thinking.
Her gaze was fixed solely on the characters that had been distorted by the monster but had now been restored to their original form.
From the moment Huang Siying realized that something was wrong with the world, she started posting online to verify whether her findings were right or wrong, and at the same time, it served as a warning.
She simply didn't know that the internet—or at least her network—was already entangled with monsters.
Every post Huang Siying made proved the supernatural suspicions about her. The more she sought help, the more the non-human gaze focused on her, until finally, Huang Siying died.
Jiang Xingni's gaze swept across the titles of Huang Siying's posts in a single glance.
My grandmother is being buried tomorrow. Is there anyone who can help?
For some reason, I keep dreaming about my grandmother lately, but I can't remember anything when I wake up.
Lately, for some reason, I keep hearing funeral music near my home...?
My family says I might be suffering from neurasthenia, but I don't feel that way... I think I know what happened.
……
Jiang Xingni didn't know the exact nature of this forum, but she could tell from the frequency of Huang Siying's posts that she was really immersed in it.
A series of information connected in Jiang Xingni's mind. She didn't even need to look at the specific content of the post anymore to be able to deduce the general idea.
Since it's an exam, besides having the students fight each other and use their supernatural abilities to combat each other, Jiang Xingni is certain that the person who designed the exam mechanism also needed to make these students cooperate with each other and fight against the monsters.
The monsters that Jiang Xingni could kill at will were certainly not the kind of enemies that these privileged students needed to cooperate against.
If VOID wants to tamper with tasks and exams, it needs to do so on the basis of the original tasks.
If VOID hasn't tampered with the exam paper, after uncovering the truth behind Huang Siying's death, the investigation can naturally continue to explore why so many strange occurrences led to the deaths of NPCs in the instance. Then, the final boss can be found, and the two can unite to fight against it.
After deriving the conclusion in reverse, we can arrive at the conclusion.
A certain monster—Jiang Xingni doesn't know the details, but it doesn't matter, she can directly ask the 49th Bureau for relevant information—was created as a boss, bringing about a large-scale descent of monsters. Huang Siying was one of the victims. Because of her keen perception, she realized this and became one of the dead.
Jiang Xingni's thoughts naturally shifted to another question.
Are there any NPCs still alive in this created instance world?
Or have they all died?
Jiang Xingni really hoped that not everyone in the entire instance would die, but rather that the former option would be chosen.
But based on what Jiang Xingni had just witnessed, as he walked down the corridor, all he could see was silence, so it was hard for him to have any high expectations.
Nine times out of ten, it's the latter possibility.
These thoughts swirled in Jiang Xingni's mind before being gathered back into the depths of his consciousness.
She looked around the room thoughtfully.
Jiang Xingni walked towards the door.
Nothing strange happened.
But when Jiang Xingni tried to grasp the doorknob in front of him, his hand could never touch it.
Jiang Xingni narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.
—It's not a visual issue.
Jiang Xingni still had this confidence.
Under the effect of the Eye of Truth, Jiang Xingni was certain that the anomaly before him was not due to any false illusion.
The boundary of the frame ends right at the door.
Jiang Xingni mentally centered the entire room and then drew a rough outline of the area of this "painting".
This just covers the entire room perfectly.
She couldn't reach the doorknob in front of her because she and the doorknob weren't even in the same space.
It's like trying to scoop the moon out of the water; the moon and your hand are not actually on the same plane, but sometimes this misunderstanding occurs, making people think they are in the same position.
This is a bit difficult.
Jiang Xingni suddenly smiled and looked at the doorknob that was being slowly turned.
She heard footsteps outside the door; someone was slowly approaching it.
It is also clearly visible on the map that an unnamed green dot is approaching.

Ma Hui volunteered to come.
As a fellow student at Wanxiang Academy, he had long disliked Lu Xianqing.
Just like how some people in Taixu Academy also dislike Xiao Jiming and his group.
Although Lu Xianqing is actually the ace student of Wanxiang Academy, there will always be people who underestimate her strength, want to defeat her and make themselves rise to the top in one step, or want to see her fail, as if they can defeat her in some way.
Ma Hui was unwilling to admit that he was also that kind of person.
However, when he heard that Lu Xianqing's mission had failed, his first thought was indeed schadenfreude.
—Look at this, even the student president is nothing special.
So what if we can outdo them?
When faced with the top students from other schools, didn't they still fail in this way?
Now that his undefeated myth has been broken, why should he continue to respect Lu Xianqing?
Of course, looking down on Lu Xianqing doesn't mean that Ma Hui would look up to Jiang Xingni.
Upon hearing that Jiang Xingni was trapped and might be eliminated at the very beginning of the exam, Ma Hui couldn't wait to sign up, eager to see the tragic fate of another academy prodigy—although he hadn't heard much about Jiang Xingni's exploits, anyone who could defeat Lu Xianqing must also be a prodigy.
He especially enjoys seeing people who were once high and mighty fall from grace and plunge into the mud.
Filled with malice, Ma Hui pushed open the door.
A flash of white light appeared and was pressed against his throat.
