Chapter 286 My Destined Wife
Xiao Jiming fell into deep thought.
—This isn't the mission that just appeared, is it?
Have they completed their previous mission?
According to Xiao Jiming and his group's initial plan, they were originally going to follow the slime that suddenly appeared and ask Lu Xianqing for any new clues or discoveries.
Now, they have a new lead, but the problem is that it's completely different from the route they originally anticipated.
Song Juexiao glanced at the newly added tasks on his watch and then looked at Xiao Jiming.
You're the captain, so I'll listen to you.
With an outsider—Lu Xianqing—present, Song Juexiao couldn't openly demonstrate that he was actually capable of speaking.
So she could only express her thoughts to Xiao Jiming with her eyes.
Xie Yungui looked at the semi-transparent text with a smile on his lips, then looked at Xiao Jiming.
"Captain, let's go, let's complete the mission."
Xiao Jiming glanced at Xie Yungui with suspicion.
He had a hunch that the words that suddenly appeared before him were most likely related to Jiang Xingni.
If there were no connection, Xie Yungui wouldn't be so proactive in wanting to complete the task.
The most Xie Yungui could do was follow behind them and occasionally lend a hand.
Only Jiang Xingni, and only Jiang Xingni, could make Xie Yungui act this way.
Even so, Xiao Jiming still felt that he was being led by the nose by these two prophetic beings.
Xiao Jiming gave Xie Yungui a hearty laugh.
"certainly."
"This is what she wanted, right?"
Of course, given the current emergency, they will have to leave the instance and finish this midterm exam before the accounts are settled.
Song Juexiao stared at Lu Xianqing for a while, then made a gesture towards the girl with short white hair.
He gestured for her to follow.
Lu Xianqing understood her gesture.
The little girl turned her head and glanced at the slime that they had killed, and at her own corpse scattered all over the ground.
Lu Xianqing: "You don't really need to be so wary of me?"
"I won't try to kill her a second time," Lu Xianqing said to Song Juexiao.
In response, Song Juexiao simply raised the corners of his lips and gave Lu Xianqing a smile.
—Stop talking nonsense, just follow along.
Lu Xianqing blinked. The girl, who was usually quiet, was very good at understanding the underlying meaning in other people's actions, so she did not resist and followed along.
Xiao Jiming, who was walking further ahead, lowered his voice.
He whispered in Xie Yungui's ear.
"She doesn't need to go to such lengths to scheme. We're all willing to serve her if she asks," Xiao Jiming said.
Xie Yungui smiled but remained silent.
It sounds like he considered the two of them as accomplices in the conspiracy.
However...did he really think Jiang Xingni would tell him everything?
He was merely using his abilities to tacitly cooperate with Jiang Xingni.
Xie Yungui had no idea what she wanted to do or what her ultimate goal was.

On the other side, Jiang Xing glanced at the three people who were about to wake up.
One of them gave them another karate chop to make sure they were unconscious and wouldn't wake up and interfere with her plans, or die needlessly.
[The 49th Bureau has sent a message.] The system's voice rang in Jiang Xingni's mind. [They're dead.]
The message that was sent contained only four words.
However, under these circumstances, there is absolutely no doubt about the direction these four words point to.
Those students who died in the dungeon should have woken up and opened their eyes in the real world perfectly fine.
But now, death in a dungeon is true death.
Furthermore, due to the special nature of those with superpowers, their mentors are required to personally handle their corpses to prevent them from becoming monsters and adding to the monsters' fighting power.
Although Bureau 49 does not have a favorable impression of any organization currently existing in the world of superhumans.
—But that only applies to the organization, not to each individual.
In the future, they may openly wage war against these people, or they may take other measures to turn them into their own forces.
But not now.
It shouldn't be the students.
"We need to hurry," Jiang Xingni said to the system in his mind, looking down.
Jiang Xingni wasn't entirely certain when he made this decision.
Based on her experience of traveling to the lower city alone, without a main character, many hidden clues would not be revealed to her, and the story would not continue to develop because of a supporting character.
However, she rarely thinks about whether a decision is correct or whether another path would be better once she makes it.
—At worst, we can just send Xiao Jiming and the others another mission and call them over to try and get some clues.
While keeping an eye on the forum on his phone, Jiang Xingni casually touched the corpses of the three people.
Just as Jiang Xingni was making contact with Bureau 49 outside the instance, the comic was updated.
The latest episode doesn't feature Jiang Xingni at all; to be precise, it doesn't feature "Jiang Xingni" at all.
From the very beginning, it was about Xiao Jiming and his group finally defeating the monsters and then receiving a new mission.
Then came a bunch of cryptic, unintelligible chatter, and then the group successfully set off on the road.
Of course, there were also many people shipping the characters in the comments, saying things like "Riddler, get out of XXX," "They're praising Jiang Xingni again," and "Jiang Xingni is the screenwriter's favorite," etc.
Jiang Xingni ignored all of this.
She stared at the information displayed in the comic.
Currently, all the main characters—Lu Xianqing hasn't officially joined yet, so we won't count her for now—are born in the wild.
They originally thought that the scope of this instance was the wilderness, without cities or towns, and that they wouldn't need to interact with instance NPCs.
However, as they followed the mission prompts, they realized that there were indeed cities.
There are NPCs in the instance.
It's unclear what happened that led to everyone's death.
At the end of this chapter's update, Jiang Xingni saw herself.
To be precise, it is Longinus.
The masked man in black robes stared at the stone tablet in front of him, with three "corpses" stacked together behind him.
A close-up of her slightly upturned lips in a cartoon panel.
Then her gaze gradually shifted, landing on the main characters who were on a mission.
Jiang Xingni himself: ...
She really wasn't pretending this time.
But it's too late now.
Jiang Xing straightened his back and adopted a more dignified posture.
The comments section exploded when the new character appeared.
【Oh my god, face covered】
Wow, he's both righteous and evil!
[Holy crap, the scriptwriting team!]
【Wife!! This is the wife I was destined for! She's definitely not cannon fodder!】
