Chapter 369 After Saying Goodbye to You - The Girl...

If we were to rank the girls in the main group, Lu Ming would be the first among them to accept that Jiang Xingni is dead.

Firstly, she and Jiang Xingni hadn't spent much time together.

Secondly, after this incident, Lu Ming became even more certain that he was dreaming.

If this isn't a dream, why do people around me keep dying one after another after my parents' deaths?

Even those who died were not ordinary people.

Shan Qing is just an ordinary person in a physiological sense, but compared to truly ordinary people like her, she is an elite—Lu Ming doesn't think that an ordinary person can be sent by the authorities to deal with problems that only people with superpowers can handle.

Jiang Xingni needs no further explanation. She is an esper, and from Xiao Jiming's words, we can infer how outstanding she was in the past. Even before becoming an esper and joining this field, as an ordinary person, Jiang Xingni was equally outstanding. She would probably have gone to a top university and found a good job.

But they both died like that.

When Song Juexiao came over to comfort her, Lu Ming looked up at her for a while.

When faced with a character similar to an older sister, Lu Ming tried hard to control his temper and smiled at Song Juexiao, saying, "I feel like I'm dreaming."

Song Juexiao: ?

Even though Song Juexiao had already talked with Xiao Jiming for a while before chatting with Lu Ming and knew that Lu Ming's mental state was not very good in a certain sense, Song Juexiao was still momentarily stunned when he heard this sentence.

Thinking of Lu Xianqing, who had severe self-destructive tendencies, and Lu Ming, who was in good mental condition, Song Juexiao smiled inwardly—Jiang Xingni had really left her with quite a few problems.

It can't be that she's afraid that if she's not given some tasks, she'll follow Jiang Xingni and run away, right?

Song Juexiao thought, she wouldn't do that. No matter how much she liked Jiang Xingni, or how close they were, she wouldn't do such a thing. She wasn't Xie Yungui.

She will keep going, even if everyone around her dies, she will live on.

"If this isn't a dream, if it's all reality, why does fate have to bring these things upon me?" Lu Ming asked softly. "Why must the people around me die one after another? Are all these deaths because of me?"

Song Juexiao didn't know how to answer Lu Ming's question.

She knew this wasn't a dream, but how could she possibly tell a middle school student that life and death are predestined, that's how it is in our line of work, that everyone dies eventually, it's just a matter of sooner or later?

Song Juexiao didn't know what to say, so she looked away.

It was a year after Jiang Xingni's death that Song Juexiao gave up the illusion that she might come back and finally accepted the fact that Jiang Xingni was dead.

She felt she had grown a lot, at least compared to when she was a child. When she was younger, she certainly couldn't have accepted the fact that her friend wouldn't come back in just one year.

When she was young, she would only fantasize about opening the door one day and seeing Jiang Xingni, just like when she was a child she would fantasize that her parents would still love her and wait for her to come home—Jiang Xingni helped her resolve the latter fantasy.

Song Juexiao realized that he was starting to think about Jiang Xingni again.

Stop thinking about Jiang Xingni, she's dead, Song Juexiao told himself.

Lu Xianqing is different.

Sooner or later, Song Juexiao and Lu Ming had accepted the fact that Jiang Xingni was dead—whether they truly accepted it or not is a matter of opinion.

Only Lu Xianqing remained indifferent upon learning of Jiang Xingni's death.

After they got to know each other better, Lu Ming tried to ask her why, and Lu Xianqing replied matter-of-factly, "I've seen her dead body, so many bodies. She must have died, and she will definitely come back again and again."

Song Juexiao dared not speak, dared not tell Lu Xianqing that those corpses were merely the countless deaths of Jiang Xingni that Xie Yungui had seen in endless cycles of reincarnation.

The resurrected Jiang Xingni is because Xie Yungui reversed time and returned to the time when she was still alive, rather than Xie Yungui moving forward to the time when Jiang Xingni returned.

Song Juexiao always felt guilty—but she didn't know who she owed the debt to. Was it Lu Ming and Lu Xianqing, whom she had kept so much information from, or Jiang Xingni, who had entrusted the two of them to her and asked her to take good care of them?

She seems to owe everyone a debt, and feel she has wronged everyone.

I have failed everyone.

Lu Ming's first reaction after hearing Lu Xianqing's words was that he had met someone just like himself.

She felt it was all a dream, while Lu Xianqing felt it would all end eventually and that Jiang Xingni would definitely come back.

Lu Ming stared for a while, then magnanimously decided to forgive Lu Xianqing's fantasy and did not intend to say anything to shatter it.

She nodded: "Yes, I think so too. Although a year has passed and the anniversary of Jiang Xingni's death is approaching, she will definitely come back."

Lu Xianqing looked puzzled, feeling that something just didn't quite click with this statement.

Lu Ming, do you really think Jiang Xingni will come back? Something seems off to me.

However, Lu Xianqing, who was taciturn by nature, did not say these words.

She simply nodded, reaffirming her opinion.

—If she can be resurrected time and time again after death, why can't Jiang Xingni?

There is no reason not to revive!

The mortality rate among superhumans dropped drastically for some unknown reason after Jiang Xingni's death.

It's not usually noticeable, but it becomes very clear in the casualty statistics a year later. Taking Jiang Xingni's death as a dividing point, the mortality rate of superhumans was high before her death, but after her death, the casualty rate dropped to almost 10%.

Even the previously turbulent world of superpowered individuals, and the society that was in turmoil due to the exposure of the truth, gradually stabilized and even developed in a better direction.

Bureau 49 remains a secret organization; Song Juexiao only met one of its members at Jiang Xingni's funeral.

She said she came for Jiang Xingni—but it had little to do with Jiang Xingni herself. It was because of Jiang Xingni's parents that she had been fortunate enough to receive guidance from Jiang Xingni's mother. After the anti-meme took effect, she was able to successfully recall her mentor. Therefore, she felt she should attend her mentor's daughter's funeral.

All social relationships gradually fade away after a person dies.

After she told him, Song Juexiao finally learned what kind of people Jiang Xingni's parents were.

If she hadn't gotten involved with the affairs of people with superpowers, Jiang Xingni might have been able to go down in history like her parents.

But she died young before she could achieve anything, and only a group of people remembered her.

What kind of people will they become? Will they still remember Jiang Xingni decades from now? Will their stories help more people remember Jiang Xingni?

Jiang Xingni.

Song Juexiao thought, "I will strive to become a great person, and I will not let you be forgotten."
