Chapter 19 Bai Ye: Yang Yan, I have no grudge against you, why did you turn kindness into enmity and stab me!
"That guy ran away! Hurry up and chase him! Let's eliminate him first! Then we can fight each other!"
Several boys shouted and chased after them. The girl in the plaid scarf didn't say anything, but she was the fastest. She pulled out a slender weapon like a huge key from her hand. The crystal clear texture seemed to be rippling with the green moss of the swamp.
It's a color combination that looks quite bad. Bai Ye always feels that if "Outlaws" is a werewolf killing game, then the girl's color combination would have the words "neutral and downward" written on it.
The girl in the scarf flicked the emerald-textured key in the air, her lush green ponytails flying behind her. Then, a crisp "click" sound of the lock core turning came from the void. Bai Ye knew that something was wrong without turning around.
He recognized the other party's soul tag skills.
[Key to the Jade Gate] can connect to unknown existences among the stars. Through the "key", it can open the door to truth and control the soul label of all spaces in the world.
He is also known as "East School Youyu, West Bureau Emerald" in Night City together with the famous detective Youyu. He is a good helper for law enforcers in hunting down demon apostles and criminals. He is the captain of the youngest demon hunting team [Wings of the Goddess of Victory] of the Sun Law Enforcement Bureau - the youngest reserve law enforcer captain [Emerald] with skills.
Are you also attending Solomon Academy? This school really is... full of hidden talents.
Bai Ye was a little speechless.
Although Bai Ye had only heard of the name of Jadeite and did not know her well, Bai Ye remembered that although Jadeite was also only a high school student now, she had already developed the most direct, simplest but most useful function of the [Jadeite Gate Key] - space travel.
Green pupil-shaped lines lit up behind Bai Ye, and a cold light flashed. Bai Ye frowned and quickly leaned back to avoid the sharp key that suddenly appeared. He rolled on the ground, avoiding the attack of the teleporting scarf girl in a somewhat embarrassed manner. There were tiny cuts on his dark blue uniform jacket caused by the sharp gravel. Although it was the limit of his reaction, he was still marked with a keyhole by the other party for tracking.
Bai Ye looked at the emerald keyhole icon that flashed across his arm, and at the same time, he felt a slight pain in his shoulder, probably because he had just been scratched by a stone, but Bai Ye had no time to care about it now.
Bai Ye: ...Thanks to the end of the barrier, everything will return to normal. A set of Solomon Academy uniforms is very expensive, and he really doesn't have the money to buy a new one now.
"Boss Emerald! Great job! Catch him!"
The other students behind him cheered. They did not have the strange teleportation skill like the girl named Jade, so they could only continue running in the direction of the confrontation between the two.
Feicui did not speak a word in response to those hot-blooded high school students. She just lowered her eyes and looked at the black-haired boy who was forced to one knee in embarrassment and leaned on the edge of the flower bed beside him with one hand to steady himself and dodge.
Although he predicted his own movements, the brief time to dodge an attack was obviously not enough for the transfer student named Bai Ye to move to a safe location.
Jade lowered her eyes, and there was a hint of surprise in her calm green pupils.
The vicious juvenile criminal who tried to kill the law enforcer who was going to Wheatfield Town to check for dangers in the Devil's Game was completely different from what she had imagined. Although there was no possibility of him escaping, he did not show the fear that the criminals she had chased before should have shown at such a desperate moment.
Bai Ye just stared at Feicui quietly, looking into her eyes without any guilt. His cold face was stained with some gray from the moment of life and death. A few strands of hair in front of his forehead hung down, forming a lonely and indifferent arc.
The other party is not afraid of death.
Feicui suddenly realized this, but she did not stop her attack. An unrepentant criminal is more hateful than a cowardly criminal.
She grew up in Solomon Academy and knew better than anyone what the law enforcers did to protect every city in the surface world from the demons in the other world. There were sleepless nights, tear-stained tombstones, and the dead who wanted to see each other again.
And the guy in front of him actually wanted to kill Mr. Faust, one of the youngest captains of the law enforcers, the leader of the younger generation, the idol of everyone in Solomon Academy, and the person who recommended her for the position of reserve law enforcer and who helped her a lot.
This guy must be taught a lesson. No one can attack the law enforcers in front of the students of Solomon Academy. Moreover, the law enforcers of Wheatfield Town transferred this guy to Solomon Academy, probably with the intention of letting them supervise him.
In this case, it wouldn't be too much to let this guy be the first to be eliminated when the devil comes.
This is also the thought of everyone in Solomon Academy.
Jade snorted coldly, and the slender key turned, and the sharp key teeth stabbed towards Bai Ye's chest. Although the force used was not lethal, it would still make the other party suffer.
Feicui is different from her competitor Youyu. She is really ready to attack when she says she will. With Bai Ye's current physical fitness without the blessing of [Miracle Magician], he is simply unable to avoid Feicui's attack.
But it doesn’t matter, since he still has the real trump card.
Bai Ye simply stopped struggling and just stood there quietly, calmly accepting the outcome of being the first to be eliminated.
But some people seem to disagree.
"Don't be like this! Boss Emerald, he's my good brother! I promised to protect him, you can't let me become a villain who doesn't keep his promise!"
A sound that was so fast that it didn't sound like something a human could make was heard. Just before the key tooth was about to fall, the rapidly moving spherical object, like a burning flame, accurately knocked the emerald key off its course.
Jade frowned, as if she had realized who was coming, and she skillfully used the key to turn over, avoiding the burning red ball that seemed to have tracking skills, spinning in the air and returning.
"Hey! What are you still standing there for? I'm against Boss Feicui just for you, my good brother! How is this different from going against Youyu? You're scaring me to death - run!"
The terrifying male voice that just sounded exploded again, and the students around all covered their ears with complicated expressions. Even Emerald's expression showed a hint of daze, and she uttered two words speechlessly: "Noisy."
Obviously, he was also quite upset by the other party's quarrel.
Bai Ye looked up and saw a familiar figure standing at the gate of the teaching building. He was still in a standard serving posture, with short brown hair and a denim cap worn backwards flying in the air. The baseball bat in his hand was a classic wood color, burning with fiery red flames.
Bai Ye squinted his eyes, which were 300 degrees myopic, and felt that the other person looked familiar.
But he reacted quickly. At least the Heat boy seemed to be on his side for the time being, so he no longer hesitated and ran towards the other side.
"Go, go! I'll take you on a great escape! Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
The brown-haired boy couldn't keep quiet. He was annoyed that Bai Ye was running too slowly, so he took a few steps forward, pulled Bai Ye over, and ran straight into the lobby of the teaching building.
The other students wanted to chase after him, but were tripped by the fireballs shot out by the reddish-brown-haired boy who was running backwards, and began to fight with the tracking bullets in a panic.
"How is it? Isn't it handsome? I knocked the Emerald Boss's key away just to save you!"
The reddish-brown-haired boy gave himself a thumbs up and looked at Bai Ye expectantly. That look made the latter couldn't help but think of some black and white canine creature.
Bai Ye: ...Although it's okay if you don't save me. After all, [The Unmovable Heart of the Black Sun Righteous Man] can make you immune to all tag skills.
besides……
Bai Ye changed the subject and spread his hands in confusion: "Excuse me, do we know each other?"
How come I am your good brother?
The reddish-brown-haired boy dragged Bai Ye to the second floor of the teaching building with a heartbroken expression on his face. "Last night's spicy hot pot! Don't forget it, brother! Spicy hot pot!"
Bai Ye, who finally remembered that the hot boy in front of him was the crazy fan of Wonder last night, didn’t know what to say:... This description is quite abstract. When this guy said that, he almost forgot it.
"You are... Yang Yan?"
Bai Ye tried to ease the awkwardness, but Yang Yan's next words almost made him trip and fall directly into Feicui's arms downstairs.
Yang Yan: "You finally remembered! Good brother, I forgot to pay the boss lady last night. The kindhearted person who helped me pay for the spicy hot pot even though the balance in the night network wallet was only 25 yuan, you must be you, right?"
Bai Ye barely maintained a smile that was about to collapse: "Can I say it wasn't me? We have no grudges or hatred, why did you turn a kindness into enmity and hurt me?"
Yang Yan chuckled: "I'm just confirming it——"
He wanted to say something else, but boiling flames suddenly surged out from the stairs leading to the top floor of the teaching building in front of him. Yang Yan's originally laughing expression suddenly turned cold. He suddenly pushed Bai Ye behind him, swung the baseball bat and hit a fireball, deflecting the position of the huge fireball coming from the top floor.
The burning flames directly penetrated the fragile wall of the teaching building. The dust stirred up by the collapsed building made the two lose their vision for a moment. Yang Yan chuckled: "Could it be another user with the tag skill of the fire element? Let me think about who it is--?"
"No, it would be fine if it was a student."
Bai Ye shook his head. The black-haired boy stood in the flying smoke and dust, his figure was tall and slender. Although it could be seen from the beginning that his physical skills were very poor, Yang Yan felt at ease for some reason.
"It's a demon."
The sound of the white night was like falling rocks, creating huge ripples on the surface of reality.
"And he's a demon at the level of a demon god."
The young man deliberately lowered his voice, which was as clear as wine and floated into Yangyan's ears.
The next second, DM's unbridled laughter as if he was watching a show filled the entire teaching building.
【Welcome to the other world!】 Dear players! It has been detected that the conditions have been met, DM will now open the game entrance for you! 】
[Game initiator: Hellfire Amy (level: Demon)]
【Game Information:
Instance Name: The Devil's Hour
Instance type: Escape
Amy, the demon from the other world, noticed that a school seemed to have appeared in her territory in the other world. The angry demon fire will sweep everything. Players, please quickly find a way to leave this school, open the escape door, and escape from here before the hellfire burns everything. 】
"Oh my god! It's actually a demon! Bai Ye, you are amazing, but demons will never appear during the devil's day. Why is this thing here now? Why did I, DM, come to join in the fun? Why did the demon game start? Wait! Bai Ye!"
There was a wave of scorching air rising up behind him, and Yang Yan realized that the tracking fireball did not seem to belong to him. The rest of his words were stuck in his throat, and he turned around abruptly, but he only had time to watch the figure behind him lose his footing.
The black and red hellfire roared past like a typhoon on a rainstorm, and the burning line of fire directly tore the space between Bai Ye and Yang Yan. The pillar of fire that rose into the air burned through the floor, and even though Bai Ye reacted quickly to avoid the line of fire, he inevitably lost his balance and fell uncontrollably towards the big hole behind him that was just created by the flames.
"white night--!"
Yang Yan's expression changed. He suddenly lunged forward and thrust the baseball bat in his hand toward Bai Ye: "Catch me——!"
This place is close to the top floor of the teaching building, nearly thirty meters from the ground. If the devil appears here, the repairing function of the barrier may not really be effective. If Bai Ye falls from here, no one knows what the result will be.
Fortunately, Bai Ye was very reliable. He accurately grabbed the thinner handle of the baseball bat in the air with a speed that was completely inconsistent with his weak appearance. Yang Yan instantly stretched out his other hand, hooked his feet on the exposed steel bars on the planed surface of the building, and tried to throw the two people up together.
But the fire of hell obviously doesn't allow it.
The strange black and red flame that was as sticky as blood exploded again and rushed directly towards Yang Yan's arm.
The red-haired boy was concentrating on pulling the person and did not notice the abnormality behind him, but Bai Ye who was hanging below saw it clearly. If Yang Yan persisted, his arm would be burned by the flames.
"Why……"
Bai Ye sighed and let go of Yang Yan's hand. The red-haired boy swung backwards due to the reaction force of the sudden disappearance of the heavy object, and just as Bai Ye expected, he just happened to avoid the flame.
I'm just in a bit of trouble.
Bai Ye, swallowed by the feeling of weightlessness, thought calmly.
"brush--!"
The refreshing sound of particles gathering like the wind blowing through the grass suddenly appeared in the sound of burning and scorching. Yangyan looked as if the sky had fallen, and suddenly a flame of hope was born in his eyes. He knew that this was the skill sound of the class star Youyu.
"My goodness, are you there?! It's all your fault for saying I'd be unlucky lately! I'm really unlucky now! If it weren't for Brother Bai Ye, I would have lost my arm. Please save me now!"
"Haha, I guessed right. You will choose to save people, new classmate. It's worth it that I pestered Feicui for a long time to locate you."
The boy's voice, as tempered by the sun, was accompanied by a flickering golden clover. Seeing the familiar golden light, Bai Ye closed his eyes peacefully and at ease as he fell.
Youyu is a famous air rescue team among the players of the Devil Game. Although he is a seafood, he will never die if he jumps from mid-air. He refreshes on time anytime and anywhere. Fans call him the god who controls the sky. With him around, no one can fall to death from the air.
Even if he is the detective nemesis designated by the "player", the Phantom Thief Wonder, he is no exception.
"Squid! Byakuya!"
Yang Yan watched the mark of the clover disappear in the sea of fire that was chasing Bai Ye like an explosion. The moment You Yu jumped down, boiling black smoke enveloped everything. The flames, which were several times more intense than before, devoured all visible traces. It was the malice of the devil.
Could anyone really survive such a horrific explosion?
Yangyan felt that his usually steady batting hand was shaking.
