Chapter 370 After Saying Goodbye to You - This is...

Xiao Jiming never considered himself a particularly sentimental person, and he thought he wouldn't cry after Jiang Xingni's death.

After Jiang Xingni's death, their first argument was about where he should be buried.

Lu Ming thought of his own parents and suggested that Jiang Xingni be buried next to their graves.

Xiao Jiming didn't know how to explain to the young girl that not everyone has a good relationship with their parents.

Jiang Xingni and her parents probably had a good relationship, but after so many years, Xiao Jiming didn't know how much affection Jiang Xingni still had for her parents, or whether that affection was enough for her to stay by their side after her death.

Song Juexiao proposed burying them in the academy's cemetery, which contains the bodies of all the gifted students who died during their school years and failed to graduate.

Su Yanzhi rejected the suggestion.

If Jiang Xingni had grown up in the world of superhumans like Song Juexiao, that would be fine, but Jiang Xingni had only been in the world of superhumans for a few years before he died.

Whether she has a strong sense of belonging to the world of superpowered individuals, and whether she feels that this is where she truly belongs, is still hard to say.

Xiao Jiming proposed burying Jiang Xingni in the cemetery in the lower city, a proposal that was unanimously opposed by everyone.

Pei Zhaoye asked incredulously, "Are you going to throw Jiang Xingni into a mass grave?"

Although Xiao Jiming tried his best to explain, unfortunately no one was willing to listen to him.

In the end, it was the visitors from the 49th Bureau who made the final decision.

She considered burying Jiang Xingni and Shan Qing together, but similarly, she didn't think Shan Qing had deep feelings for Jiang Xingni, and she didn't think Jiang Xingni would know Shan Qing.

So she said, "Bury him in the martyrs' cemetery. I will submit the relevant application for Jiang Xingni."

In a sense, their family can also be reunited in the Martyrs' Cemetery—after the meme's effects wore off, the relevant departments had already begun to relocate Jiang Xingni's parents from the cemetery in the lower city to the Martyrs' Cemetery, and now there is only one more Jiang Xingni.

Moreover, given Jiang Xingni's contributions—she saved so many people—it is entirely justified for her to be recognized as a martyr and enter a martyrs' cemetery after her sacrifice.

After finally agreeing on the burial site, the cremation of the body could begin.

The cold body was pushed into the crematorium. Jiang Xingni had no other relatives. In the end, it was the few of them who picked up the ashes scattered on the ground, large and small pieces, and put them into the urn.

It wasn't until he heard himself crying that Xiao Jiming realized he was actually crying.

Looking back, everyone was in tears, some quietly, some sobbing uncontrollably.

A living person was frozen in time inside a small box, becoming an object weighing only a few pounds.

"If a person is burned to ashes, can they be resurrected?" Lu Ming asked softly.

Xiao Jiming didn't know how to answer this question.

"She'll come back." He could only repeat this sentence in vain. "She will definitely come back."

"Maybe we could even take her to see her own tombstone?"

Lu Ming expressed skepticism about this.

"I wonder if I'll be buried with Jiang Xingni after I die," Lu Ming said softly.

Xiao Jiming could still count on this possibility, but among everyone, only Su Yanzhi had no such possibility.

He curled the corners of his lips into a smile, and the small red mole on his lip also curled up slightly with the movement of his lips.

Su Yanzhi, as a mercenary and an assassin, has not been arrested on the spot because the laws governing ordinary people are difficult to apply to people with superpowers.

He never actually thought Jiang Xingni would die.

Although in a sense, Su Yanzhi was the one who always had the motive to kill her.

But when all that remained in his arms was a cold body, when the human form was reduced to ashes in the raging flames, Su Yanzhi was left with only a sense of bewilderment.

How could she die? How could she die so easily?

He stood on the ground, his fingertips idly weaving the rotating space.

After his abilities advance further, will he be able to obtain a different world where Jiang Xingni is still alive?

Did Jiang Xingni manage to use the gun he had given away before he died?

Su Yanzhi had many questions he wanted to ask, but unfortunately the people who wanted to answer them were no longer there, and he didn't want to hear the answers from the remaining people.

People with little sense of collective honor left after their missions were over. The world is so big, and his abilities were enough to take him anywhere in the world. In addition, with the increasingly strict control over people with superpowers, Su Yanzhi was more often stationed abroad to carry out his assassination missions.

However, he rarely had individual team-building activities with the main characters.

Jiang Xingni's death had such a profound impact that they were almost numb to the separation from their companion and could no longer muster the energy to feel sadness.

Xie Yungui was another loner.

At first, Pei Zhaoye would pay attention to Xie Yungui's reaction to see if he was always ready to go back in time to when Jiang Xingni was still alive.

Pei Zhaoye didn't know where the current timeline would go if Xie Yungui went back in time, but even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, Pei Zhaoye didn't want to see all of Jiang Xingni's efforts go to waste.

Later, Pei Zhaoye stopped paying attention and instead focused his information flow on Xie Yungui—he was becoming more and more like an AI.

Xie Yungui is actually still trapped in the cycle of time.

It's just that he's trapped in the cycle of reincarnation where Jiang Xingni was alive in the past, and now he's dead.

He dared not go any further, fearing that going too far ahead would cause him to forget the moment Jiang Xingni died.

As long as that node still exists, he can go back to the past and continue his journey—preventing Jiang Xingni's death.

Now, it's only because of Jiang Xingni's words that he's trying to move forward, searching for the point in time when Jiang Xingni will return.

The timeline flipped and swayed in Xie Yungui's hands, and he could clearly remember what was in each marked point in time.

This point in time marks Jiang Xingni's first encounter with Xiao Jiming, his first meeting with Jiang Xingni, Jiang Xingni's wary tone when speaking to him, and Jiang Xingni's death...

He waited for the next point in time to fall so that he could legitimately mark the point in time when Jiang Xingni was resurrected.

When will she come back?

Half a year, a year, a year and a half... Xie Yungui still couldn't wait for the person he wanted to wait for.

Another year has passed, and the time of the Awakening of Insects is just around the corner. Spring is in full bloom, flowers are blooming, and ice and snow are melting.

The vast land will soon be enveloped in greenery once again.

The crying had subsided, and everyone was moving forward.

This was the second year after Jiang Xingni died.
