Lin Nai and Ye Wan'er walked into the stairwell and were about to go upstairs when they suddenly heard a strange "slurping" sound.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that two young lovers were embracing each other tightly in the dark stairwell, their heads very close together.
Linnaeus: "..."
Night: "!"
The two young lovers were completely absorbed in the darkness. It wasn't until six or seven seconds later that they noticed Lin Nai and Ye Wan'er's presence.
"Ah... I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." The boy chuckled awkwardly, then grabbed the girl, whose cheeks were flushed, and they ran away as if fleeing.
Lin Nai\u0026 Nighttime: "......"
Back home, I changed into slippers.
Having stayed in the race town for so long, and with no one home at all, the air in the living room had become filled with the smell of dust.
Still a little groggy, she asked in a daze, "What...what were they doing just now...?"
Linna paused for a moment: "...Oh, that's just how we humans express friendship to each other, it's perfectly normal."
Night: "???"
Lin Nai: "That sound is also a sound that expresses affection, just like a dog wagging its tail and whimpering. So don't find it strange."
"...Do you think I'm easy to fool?" The girl's cheeks were burning.
“Of course you’re not easy to fool, but that’s not important.” Lin Nai picked up the girl’s hand, which was still clasped with his, and shook it. “The important thing is whether I can ‘fool’ her.”
"......"
The girl lowered her head in shame, as if something in her heart had been pierced, and dared not look Lin Nai in the eye again.
Linnaeus:?_?
Nighttime: (?? . ??)
"......"
"......"
"......"
The two remained silent for a long time, neither of them speaking.
After a while, Linna suddenly opened her mouth slightly and said, "Uh, so you want to try it?"
"Huh?" Ye Wan'er still didn't dare to look up, and asked in a small voice, "Try...try what?"
Lin Nai: "...Slurp slurp."
Night: "??!!"
In an instant, it seemed as if all the blood in the girl's body rushed to her thin cheeks.
Starting from the neck, it quickly spread to the face, then to the ears, like a thoroughly cooked lobster, even the top of the head seemed to be steaming with white vapor...
In her panic and confusion, the girl's pupils suddenly turned scarlet.
"bad......"
Lin Nai's heart skipped a beat. The moment she saw the color of those eyes change, she knew something was wrong...
"Bang!"
In a state of red-eyed rage, Ye'er shoved Lin Nai hard to the ground. Her cheeks were flushed, her pink and rosy face almost the same color as her eyes. It was hard to tell whether she was angry or ashamed.
"lecher!"
"You filthy scoundrel!"
"Shameless!"
"Dirty!"
"Slurp slurp, huh?"
"Go on, you go!"
At night, she lifted her white cotton-socked foot and, in shame and anger, stomped on Lin Nai's face.
Linnaeus: "..."
......
A few days later, Lin Nai met with Ji Lao and Sun Shuai again.
"This 'Shadow Hunter - Soul Chaser' is now in your hands for safekeeping."
Elder Ji personally handed the champion's prize, the Soul Power Gun, to Lin Nai.
Because of the unexpected events that occurred on the day the competition ended, like the one involving Reiro, no awards ceremony was held at the end of the day.
Regarding the live stream, all information was blocked at the time.
Online viewers were unaware of the unexpected turn of events that had occurred in the event town.
The media reporters who remained in the town where the event was held were ordered to remain silent. Anyone found to have leaked even a single word would be sentenced to death.
In other words, apart from the people in the event town, the rest of the country was unaware that such an event had occurred during this year's National Freshman Championship.
"Thank you." Lin Nai took the Soul Chaser.
The gun has a completely black body, resembling an old-fashioned flintlock musket, and is decorated with beautiful patterns.
She looks even more beautiful than when I saw her from the audience.
As soon as Lin Nai got his hands on the gun, he could clearly feel that the ten souls in the Sea of the Dead were starting to get restless.
"Oh, right." Lin Nai took out the Record of Destruction and slammed the thick book on the table with a "thud." "Should we go through the motions of returning this to you before issuing it to me?"
Professor Ji: "......"
Sun Shuai glared at him: "Don't try to act innocent after getting a good deal. Just take it honestly."
"Okay, okay." Lin Nai touched the ancient book and asked knowingly, "By the way, what exactly is this thing? Why does Lei Luo insist on taking it?"
"An ancient book left behind by a civilization of gods. The Black Angel calls it the Book of Divine Revelation, but we believe it may also be a book of prophecy."
Elder Ji spoke slowly and deliberately, explaining, "At our current level, even after hundreds of years, we've only managed to translate a few passages. The title on the cover translates to 'Extinction,' which together means 'Record of Extinction.' The two lines on the first page roughly translate to: the champion of this year's National Freshman Competition will receive this book. There's a rumor that those chosen by the gods who obtain this book will receive divine revelation and gain divine power."
"I see." Actually, Lin Nai could translate these two paragraphs himself using the Mozi system, but he still pretended to only know it now: "No wonder you used this book as the hidden prize for the first place winner of this competition."
"So?" Old Ji looked at Lin Nai intently. "When you opened this book, did you have any special feelings?"
Linna shrugged innocently: "Not at all."
He opened the 'Record of Destruction' in front of Elder Ji and said, "This book doesn't contain any spiritual energy of heaven and earth. I can't sense any energy reaction of soul power, divine power, or magic power on it. Even the paper used in this book is just ordinary parchment. Isn't this just an ordinary old book?"
"How is that possible??" Old Ji looked incredulous, his brows furrowed. "Could it be that you're doing it wrong?"
"...Then how do I open it?" Lin Nai asked. "Do I need to burn incense and bathe before opening this book?"
Professor Ji: "......"
