A mysterious realm descends, and I defy fate in comics.

Chapter 306 But I'm not used to it yet.

Ok.

Jiang Xingni waited all day but still didn't get a reply from He Jingtong. No reply was the answer in itself.

Jiang Xingni felt that she had completely understood.

If it were her, Jiang Xingni would have chosen to do the same.

She was truly afraid of feelings that favored sons over daughters, and also afraid of being too important to others.

In other words, she would rather die than become a ghost and see how others react after her death.

Whenever Jiang Xingni imagined such a scene, she felt like her toes were already gripping the ground.

In addition to the message from He Jingtong, Jiang Xingni also specifically asked him to find information related to the obsessions of people with superpowers.

He Jingtong's intelligence also arrived very quickly.

[I guess you know what the purpose of VOID is: obsession is the key to ordinary people developing superpowers, and superpowered individuals transforming into monsters after death.]

Stop for a moment.

Jiang Xingni pondered.

What exactly is the purpose of VOID? Jiang Xingni could guess that it was most likely related to human modification, but she didn't know the specifics.

[If one becomes too obsessed with their obsession, it's easy for a superhuman to become trapped in that obsession, similar to the inner demons in cultivation. However, this is a recent finding from VOID's research, and it will likely take some time before Taixu Academy can synchronize with this research result.]

[I've already mentioned this to Song Juexiao and the others, but it seems you've never been troubled by your obsession?]

Most people with superpowers share the same obsession.

Xiao Jiming was like this, and so was Lu Xianqing.

Song Juexiao's obsession was originally her family, but after Jiang Xingni shattered that obsession, she has not yet developed a new one.

Xie Yungui's obsession was unclear before, but now it must be related to Jiang Xingni's survival.

……

And what about Jiang Xingni himself?

Jiang Xingni, of course, didn't know either. All she knew was that this new concept would definitely be expanded upon by screenwriters in the future.

All she could tell for now was that there was at least one more storyline to follow—Xiao Jiming was planning to return to the Lower City this summer to explore the origins of his superpowers, and Jiang Xingni had already made a promise with him to go back with him.

As for the final exam... Jiang Xingni is not sure if there will be a dungeon like this.

*

"Speaking of which, will the final exams still be held as usual?" Jiang Xing asked after the class ended.

She turned around, leaned back in her chair, and looked up at Pei Zhaoye.

Pei Zhaoye shrugged: "There's no definite news yet."

If Pei Zhaoye said there was no accurate information, then it definitely wasn't accurate.

It's not surprising, after all, the midterm exams just caused them to lose a lot of superhumans.

If they died during the mission, it could be said that they died a worthy death.

The problem is that they died in a virtual copy that should have been perfectly safe.

Given the potential security risks inherent in virtual copies, the academy would absolutely never use them as exam venues again.

Final exams should either become purely written exams, like those in regular high schools, conducted on paper, or they should become field trips.

"Anyway, it's either paper-based exams or in-person exams," Pei Zhaoye said casually, twirling his pen. "There won't be any more copy exams."

Song Juexiao quietly approached Jiang Xingni from behind and took out a rubber band.

Through the reflection in the glass, Jiang Xingni and Song Juexiao successfully made eye contact.

Jiang Xingnian was puzzled.

However, Jiang Xingni obediently turned to the side to make it easier for Song Juexiao to move.

Song Juexiao lightly lifted Jiang Xingni's hair.

Jiang Xingni had forgotten when she last got a haircut. Over this period of time, her hair had grown quite a bit and was now waist-length.

During battles, Jiang Xingni always remembers to tie her hair up so as not to hinder the fight.

However, when she goes to school, she is too lazy to style her hair, and her waist-length hair sways behind her in the wind.

Of the three girls, only Lu Xianqing's hair could be considered short.

However, after being beautified in the comic, Lu Xianqing's hairstyle, to put it nicely, has a messy and vibrant beauty; to put it bluntly—which is actually what Jiang Xingni sees every day—has no hairstyle to speak of. It is purely Lu Xianqing's own cutting. At first glance, it looks like a straight cut, but in reality, it looks like a dog-chewed head of uneven hair.

"He should get another haircut," Jiang Xing said suddenly after staring at Lu Xianqing's hairstyle for a while.

It doesn't specify who the subject is.

The girl with short silver hair pointed to herself blankly.

"Me?" she asked. "But my hairstyle will be refreshed after I'm resurrected, so there's no need to cut it."

Jiang Xingni smiled nonchalantly, her eyes crinkling slightly. "Then you'll die twice less, okay?"

Jiang Xingni is not someone who often acts coquettishly.

When this kind of person starts to act cute, their charm is often even more potent.

For example, Pei Zhaoye, who was admiring Jiang Xingni's hairstyle change, subconsciously ended the recording he was holding.

This is probably just her being affectionate.

This is really just her being cute.

If this audio were released, both Xiao Jiming and Xie Yungui would definitely be willing to pay a lot of money to buy it.

A businessman's intuition told Pei Zhaoye this.

However, Pei Zhaoye's selfish desires made him want to treasure it, put it away, and not let anyone hear about it.

Nobody should know.

Even if this sentence wasn't meant for Pei Zhaoye himself.

If Pei Zhaoye, who was watching from the sidelines, was like this, then Lu Xianqing, who rarely heard such a straightforward expression of emotion, must have been even more surprised.

The girl's face, which was so pale it looked sickly, suddenly flushed slightly.

The faint red color on her face only made it more noticeable.

"But..." she instinctively wanted to argue. "This is just how I fight!"

By utilizing the mechanism of death and resurrection, one can move using the displacement that occurs after resurrection.

Her destructive power is not considered very high in the team, at least not in terms of group attacks, she is not as good as Su Yanzhi who properly uses spatial abilities.

Even as support, whether it's Jiang Xingni Pei Zhaoye or Song Juexiao, they are far stronger than her.

Lu Xianqing's only special abilities are his supernatural powers and physical skills, after all, he is someone who can fight Jiang Xingni to a similar degree.

"I know," Jiang Xingni said, still smiling at her.

Therefore, she did not intend to make Lu Xianqing change his fighting methods so easily.

"But I just hope that if there are two options, living or dying, you can choose to live, instead of giving up your life so easily just because you can be resurrected."

Jiang Xingni changed her posture and cupped her face in her hands.

Changing a person's perception is a long process, and Jiang Xingni doesn't think she can accompany Lu Xianqing through the whole process, but even without her, there's Song Juexiao.

"...But why?" Lu Xianqing asked, genuinely puzzled. "Anyway, I won't die, and I'm already used to the pain of death."

Jiang Xing stared at her.

"But I'm not used to it yet," she said.
