Hua Lingze smiled warmly and said, "I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Hua Lingze. I am a freshman at Kyoto University and a contestant in this college freshman competition."
"The girl next to you... uh, her name is Hua Yingwen, she is my younger sister, also a freshman at Kyoto University, and also a contestant."
“My sister is a bit reckless, which is why she accidentally wandered into your battlefield. But she meant no harm. She just sensed the energy fluctuations of divine power from afar, so she wanted to come in and see what the legendary apostle of the White Death God was like.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Nai glanced at Hua Yingwen on the ground and murmured, "It's a misunderstanding..."
As expected, they came from another city; they were contestants in the college freshman competition.
Actually, Lin Nai had probably already guessed it.
This Hua Yingwen is quite strong, at least at level 6 or above, but she looks very young.
In Yecheng, it's impossible for anyone her age to reach level 6.
Therefore, the only possibility is that they came from out of town.
Hua Yingwen, who was bound in the net, blushed with embarrassment when she heard her brother's explanation.
I just said I was coming over to meet the White Reaper's apostle, but who would have thought I'd be taken down so easily...
And my brother saw it too...
That's so embarrassing!
"Lin Nai," Hua Lingze said with a wry smile, "can you release my impetuous little sister now?"
"A younger sister is fine, but why add 'reckless younger sister'? Do you really want to reinforce that stereotype about me?!"
Hua Yingwen was furious.
Lin Nai stood up and said slowly, "Alright, since it's a misunderstanding..."
He retrieved the trap talisman. The net binding Hua Yingwen instantly transformed into a blue light and disappeared, returning to Lin Nai's hand.
"Miss, Miss, please get up quickly, the ground is cold..." The driver in sunglasses hurriedly helped Hua Yingwen up.
Hua Yingwen stood up, glanced at Lin Nai, and bit her lip with her little tiger teeth: "I...I was just caught off guard..."
"Hmm." Lin Nai offered a way out: "You just accidentally stepped on a trap charm, it was just bad luck."
Hua Yingwen: "......"
It feels like this step-up would have been better if it hadn't been offered at all...
Hua Lingze then turned his gaze to the two people in black and white robes bound in the net on the ground. He had been paying attention to these two people the whole time: "By the way, Lin Nai, who are these two people...?"
Lin Nai shrugged: "Oh, they're from the Five Elements Society. They were just trying to kidnap me."
Hua Lingze's eyes flickered slightly: "The Five Elements Society... I see. They wanted to kidnap you, but only two of them came?"
"There are three left," Lin Nai said, calculating the time. "They should be back soon..."
"Help!!!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a terrified scream rang out.
A masked man, covered in blood and wearing a tattered yellow robe, stumbled and crawled toward them, followed by a pure-looking girl carrying a giant broad-bladed axe, chasing after him.
After running for a while, the man in the yellow robe saw Lin Nai and his eyes widened immediately: "Lin Nai?!" He looked down at the ground and saw the man in the black robe and the man in the white robe lying in the net.
The man in the yellow robe wore an expression of utter disbelief.
He ran back, intending to ask the men in black and white robes for help, only to find that they had already been killed!
The man in the yellow robe stammered, pointing at Lin Nai: "You... how could you... oh my god!!..."
Before he could finish speaking, the man in the yellow robe let out an extremely tragic scream.
It turned out that the girl who had been chasing him had caught up and chopped him with an axe, tearing his back open. Blood and flesh were separated, and blood splattered everywhere, a gruesome sight!
Linnaeus: "..."
Hua Lingze\u0026 Hua Yingwen\u0026 Driver Uncle: "......"
"Hoo..." Ye Wan'er exhaled, blood dripping from the broad-bladed giant axe in her hand, forming a small bloody stream: "Finally caught up."
It's really tiring to chase down three level 6 characters using only soul power.
"Brother Linnai, are you done here too?" Ye Wan'er was dragging a burlap sack in her other hand. The sack was bulging and clearly contained two people, but they didn't seem to be struggling at all.
The sack was also covered in blood, and Lin Nai even suspected that the two people inside might have had their hands and feet cut off.
Linna: "...Uh, yeah..."
Hua Lingze looked at the night sky, slightly taken aback.
He turned around and asked, "Linnai, is this also a contestant in our freshman competition?"
"Huh?... Oh, no, she's my instructor." Lin Nai waved her hand.
Hearing this at night, a blush crept onto her cheeks, and she felt a little embarrassed.
"Instructor?" Hua Lingze looked puzzled.
Such a young instructor?
But they only look like high school students...
"Alright, if there's nothing else, we'll be going now."
Linnaeus stuffed the white-robed man and the black-robed man into the sack in the night, packing the whole family up neatly.
Hua Lingze snapped out of her reverie upon hearing this and smiled politely, "Alright... then, we'll see you again at the college tournament."
Hua Yingwen bit her lip and looked at Lin Nai, wanting to tell him that she would definitely defeat him when the freshman competition came around!
But thinking about how badly they had just lost, they ultimately couldn't bring themselves to say it...
Lin Nai wasn't too impressed by Hua Lingze's enthusiasm and friendliness. There were too many smiling tigers wearing masks in this world; no one could know what a person was like behind the scenes just by looking at their face.
So he simply waved his hand lightly as a farewell, and then said, "Let's go, Wan'er," before dragging the sack and leaving with the girl.
Hua Lingze watched Lin Nai and Ye Wan'er's retreating figures, a playful expression on her face: "It seems this freshman competition is going to be quite interesting..."
......
Linnaeus, who had been dragging the sack along, suddenly stopped.
Seeing that Lin Nai had stopped, the girl also stopped, turned around and looked at him in confusion: "Brother Lin Nai, what's wrong?"
“Something’s not right.” Lin Nai tightened his grip on the sack slightly and said, “This sack has suddenly become very light.”
"Become lighter?" Ye Wan'er was taken aback.
Linnaeus untied the sack.
Inside the sack, five people in black, white, yellow, purple, and gray robes still lay.
However, they remained motionless, appearing as if they were dead.
Linnaeus reached out and removed the mask from the man in the black robe.
Beneath the mask was an unfamiliar face. Linnai touched it lightly with her finger, and the face shattered like fragile clay, then collapsed into a pile of sand.
