Chapter 319 Why does this person talk so much?
Are you blind?
Xiao Jiming and Lu Ming finally formed a brief alliance.
Xiao Jiming wants to find Jiang Xingni, while Lu Ming wants to find the monster hidden in the fog.
Although the two people had different goals, their final destination was the same.
Seeing Xiao Jiming heading further and further away in the direction he had predicted, Lu Ming finally couldn't help but speak up and mock him.
"If you can't see the road clearly, then you might as well follow me." The girl, who looked to be under high school, still had a childish voice. She was considerably shorter than Xiao Jiming, but her aura was in no way inferior to his. "Truly a stranger. A stranger with supernatural abilities."
Despite being a native of the area, Xiao Jiming was called an outsider by his younger sister, who was even younger than him. His expression suddenly turned strange, and he repeated the term, "Outsider?"
Lu Ming nodded firmly: "Outsider."
This time, Xiao Jiming remembered to record Lu Ming's words.
The plan is to play this sentence repeatedly for Lu Ming when the truth is revealed, as a form of torture.
As for the fact that he went the wrong way, Xiao Jiming didn't want to defend himself. Anyway, he just randomly chose a direction based on his intuition. Since Lu Ming could recognize which road was the right one, Xiao Jiming wasn't so stubborn as to force everyone to follow his ideas.
Even within the team, Su Yan knew that Jiang Xingni and the others spent a lot of time away from the group, and he, as the captain, didn't have much authority.
Besides, Lu Ming and he had only traveled together briefly on a similar route, so he had even less reason to force Lu Ming to listen to him.
"How did you know that the monster was in this direction?" Xiao Jiming asked.
"If you were willing to use your precious brain instead of trying to get answers to every question by asking me, you would realize that I am a superhuman who can manipulate water." Lu Ming glanced coldly at Xiao Jiming. "And this mist is also water. I can sense where it is within the mist... Is that so difficult?"
Xiao Jiming astutely noticed the flaw in her words.
If Lu Ming could sense the location of the strange creature within the fog, then why did she shoot that arrow?
"It's not a monster, is it?" Xiao Jiming's smile was hearty, his tone direct and merciless. "Actually, what you can sense is something different from ordinary people, whether it's a superhuman or a monster, but you can't distinguish exactly what it is."
Lu Ming, whose weakness to her superpower had been exposed, froze unconsciously for a moment. The next second, she forced herself to return to normal, still being stubborn, but no longer continuing to make sarcastic remarks to Xiao Jiming as before.
"...What did you say?" she asked. "Stop spouting your self-righteous fantasies. Don't you know how ridiculous your affected manner is?"
Actually, Xiao Jiming wasn't that sure about his conclusion; he was at most 80% confident. But the moment he saw Lu Ming freeze, his confidence level jumped from 80% to 100%.
There is no other possibility.
Lu Ming genuinely couldn't distinguish between monsters and superhumans, but to be honest, given that she grew up in this environment without undergoing any systematic training, it was already quite impressive that she could differentiate between these things using her superhuman abilities.
She is indeed very talented.
Xiao Jiming simply smiled and didn't say anything more to provoke Lu Ming.
But even a single laugh was enough to rouse Lu Ming.
She gave a cold laugh and muttered something silently, which Xiao Jiming didn't hear.
Adding to the height difference, when Xiao Jiming lowered his head, he could only see Lu Ming's dark back of the head and had no way of recognizing what she was saying from her lip movements.
Xiao Jiming gave up trying to find out what Lu Ming was saying.
In short, it wasn't anything pleasant to say. In the few minutes we'd known each other, she hadn't uttered a single nice word.
"What's your relationship with the superhuman you're looking for?"
Walking through the spreading fog was rather boring, and even Lu Ming couldn't help but ask a question.
"Your little girlfriend? Your business partner? Your teammate? Your ally?" Lu Ming guessed casually.
When Xiao Jiming heard the first possibility—your little girlfriend—he glanced away guiltily, but he didn't deny it. Instead, he nodded reservedly and gave a soft "hmm."
—It's impossible to tell which of these assumptions received a positive answer.
Lu Ming's expression of anticipation for the show deepened.
She looked up and carefully observed the micro-expressions on Xiao Jiming's face—Xiao Jiming was quite confident in his ability to manage his expressions—before revealing a slightly malicious smile.
"Oh..." she drawled, sneering. "Does she even know she's your girlfriend? She's so blunt, admitting it without any denial—how shameless!"
"She probably doesn't even know she's suddenly got a boyfriend." Lu Ming got more and more excited as he spoke. "Nine times out of ten, she's just your teammate, but you're secretly pursuing her. Does she know you're pursuing her? Probably not, otherwise you wouldn't be reacting like this."
"What a useless person. Even with strangers, you rely on these fleeting moments of deception to soothe your barren soul." Lu Ming's smile widened, his tone sharp. "Someone like you is probably what they call 'dream man' online, right?"
"She wouldn't dare take real action anyway, she only dares to secretly ask for a title behind your back. To put it nicely, it's a love-struck outburst; to put it bluntly, it's ruining someone else's reputation! How could she become your teammate? Could it be some kind of hypnotic manipulation?"
……
Xiao Jiming felt a barrage of text suddenly assault his brain.
Xiao Jiming fell into deep thought. How could this child be so talkative?
Jiang Xingni was also very curious.
She's really curious about how fast the plot of the comic has progressed to.
"Mountain Sentiment?" she tried calling out again, but this time the fireball didn't react much.
This time, the face flickering within the fireball finally focused, her gaze no longer looking through Jiang Xingni's face at the ethereal, already dead Ji Hanzhang, but at Jiang Xingni, who was truly present before her.
Jiang Xingni…
Jiang Xingni didn't know what the triggered keyword was.
However, the information about Sera in the comics is correct.
The monsters that emerge after death may retain human consciousness.
It's like a continuation after death.
