Chapter 160. The Sword Master Climbs the Wall
After seeing the girl off, Jiang Jianxin slumped into a chair, pondering the current situation.

The operation in Happiness Lane has reached a stalemate. Not only can't they find an exit, but because of the incident at the beginning where they killed the old lady, they also have to be extra careful.

Although she has obtained a lot of information, she is still in a state of confusion.

I don't know where to find a breakthrough, or what to do now.

A breeze blew in from outside, making the strips of paper all over the room rustle.

Jiang Jianxin rested his chin on his hand, his knuckles against his sunken cheek, and sat quietly in front of the divination table, his eyes fixed on the dancing light spots in the purple crystal ball.

In this silence, intuition surfaced in my mind, and I slowly asked:
【What are you thinking about? 】

Jiang Jianxin sat in the chair, seeing the intuition prompting him in his mind, and naturally said:
【You came.】

【Um. 】

Intuition spoke calmly and reliably in my mind.

Ever since she died once, her intuition has been acting up much more frequently—Jiang Jianxin wondered if this was the reason for her recent heightened intuition.

Intuition saw through her thoughts and explained:
"Here's the thing, this instance is special. The more times you die, the smoother my conversation with you will be."

Jiang Jianxin was slightly taken aback and said:

"Then if I die a few more times, wouldn't I be able to have a smooth conversation with you?"

【possible?】

Intuition, though somewhat uncertain, led him to say:

I do not have the ability to predict the future.

Its ability to bypass logical reasoning and directly see through the truth puts it in the category of omniscience. As for the future, it can only speculate based on existing truths and cannot see through them.

Jiang Jianxin could understand—the ability to predict sequences seemed extremely rare. Having been in the world of superpowers for so long, she only knew one person with the talent for predicting sequences in the Predictive Family.

It's good that you can talk to me more. I can't find any friends, but now you're my right-hand man.

Jiang Jianxin jokingly thought to himself.

In the post-apocalyptic world, there are few people you can trust, and even fewer who will stay by your side for a long time without lying or betraying you.

Although intuition is not human—it's something unknown from beyond the realm—it never lies and has always been helping itself.

It used to be barely noticeable when it would play dead, but now it talks more often and has gradually become familiar with Jiang Jianxin, who now regards it as a friend.

Jiang Jianxin was someone who enjoyed joking and chatting with her friends. She thought her friend was superhuman and probably wouldn't understand her humor, but her intuition told her the answer was surprisingly apt:
That's not bad. To be honest, among all these humans, you're the one I talk to most fluently. I quite enjoy chatting with you, and having you as a right-hand man is a new experience.

Jiang Jianxin paused slightly, as if thinking of something.

She suddenly realized that intuition, broadly speaking, can see through the truth of the world, and more specifically... it can help her identify the origins of her jokes.

It may not be witty, but it understands her humor, so it catches her jokes steadily, like catching a falling feather, so that the disappointment that was about to fall to the ground, before it even touches the ground, turns into a warm breeze that gently supports her.

【Eh...so now...】

Jiang Jianxin thought to himself:

Show me what I should do now.

Intuition answered quickly:
Didn't you want to find a friend?

Jiang Jianxin nodded.

She did come to Happiness Lane to find the elder of Dream Pavilion, but once she entered the community and became a resident, Jiang Jianxin realized that no one would leave their door open in broad daylight—except for herself.

Everyone lives in their own rooms with their doors closed. Jiang Jianxin doesn't have X-ray vision and can't see inside. She dares to say that even if the person from the Dream Pavilion lives in the same building as her, she wouldn't know anything about it. This is one of her troubles.

Intuition clearly knew where her confusion lay, and it slowly said:
[If you really want to know about the residents, instead of walking in the hallways, you should climb out of the windows.]

【? 】

Although he knew that intuition always spoke seriously, Jiang Jianxin was still taken aback by its words.

What's going on... making me climb outside the window?

Yes, think about it. If they close the door, you can't see inside the house, but if they close the window, you can still see what's going on inside.

To get the real intelligence, your battlefield should be outside the window, not inside the building.

Intuition explained it to her.

Jiang Jianxin understood its meaning, but was still somewhat taken aback:
Your idea is quite unusual.

Intuition speaks frankly:
No, I don't have any ideas. I just read out the standard answers and explain their meaning.

Her intuition had already given her the correct answer, and Jiang Jianxin was certainly not an incompetent fool.

She quickly and nimbly got up and went to the window, gently parting the gauze curtain with her fingertips.

Outside the window, the residential buildings of the community stand side by side, their gray and white outlines appearing particularly cold and hard in the daylight, like a group of giants wearing armor.

A breeze swept through the gaps between the buildings, making a low, mournful sound.

Jiang Jianxin glanced at the endless cluster of residential buildings and then looked back at what was in front of him.

Every household in the residential building has an air conditioner unit on the outside of their apartment; they are embedded in the walls, like pimples on the building.

Jiang Jianxin glanced at the distance between the two air conditioner outdoor units on the upper and lower floors.
She felt that jumping over it wouldn't be a problem.

"Wow--"

To be on the safe side, Jiang Jianxin opened the window and craned his neck to look up.

Looking around, there are still countless air conditioner outdoor units, and some homes even have small open balconies where you can stand. Climbing out of the window wouldn't be that difficult.

She sighed and told herself, in her mind, with her intuition:
I never thought I'd end up like this.

My intuition seemed to be a little slow, but I replied after a while:
[You can refer to the jumping techniques of jumping masters like Gu Fengliu. Good luck!]

Jiang Jianxin hissed. She dared not imitate the Frog Prince's method. The Frog Prince had springs under his feet, and with a standing long jump, he would launch himself into the air.

Her jumping ability isn't that incredible.

Jiang Jianxin braced himself against the window frame with one hand and nimbly climbed onto the windowsill.

A cool breeze brushed against her face, lifting the hem of her clothes and loose strands of hair, which shimmered with tiny golden light in the sunlight.

She crouched down like a nimble wildcat, her shoes lightly brushing against the windowsill before she landed steadily on her own air conditioner unit. The metal casing, scorching hot in the sunlight, made a soft "click" sound.

Looking up, the air conditioner units arranged in a staggered pattern above gleamed silver in the blazing sun. She squinted, her eyes stinging from the sunlight, and quickly locked onto her next target.

With knees slightly bent and waist strength exerted, the whole person soared into the air like an arrow released from a bow, the shoes precisely landing on the edge of the upper outdoor unit. The movements were clean and crisp, like performing a parkour show without any applause.

Just as Jiang Jianxin stepped onto the air conditioner unit upstairs, he leaned against the wall and heard the sound of water coming from upstairs.

I'm late again today, and I can't guarantee it this time. I have too many things to do. I'll try to update earlier tomorrow, I'll try my best (╥_╥)
