Chapter 033 Turn on the Lights
What did you say?
Chen Xiao'er's eyes widened, and her hand was tightly holding Xinnaya's left hand, fearing that the two of them would accidentally fall.
However, the next second, her body suddenly tilted, and Xinaya grabbed her wrist and dragged her out of the broken stairs, falling into the dark basement.
If you fall from such a high place, you will die, right?
The feeling of impending death made time slow down, blood surged in the veins, and the ears and eyeballs swelled and hurt as they fell rapidly.
You will die.
You will definitely die!
She wanted to scream, but before she could, her eyes were blocked by fear.
A pair of hands pressed her head tightly against his chest as if protecting something most precious.
"Woo," her cheeks were covered with tears, her whole body was spinning, and tears were gushing out of her eyes.
"Ridiculous, you have no confidence in me?"
A teasing chuckle came from above.
In an invisible space, a brilliant purple light fell like a star, breaking through a corner of the abyss and landing steadily at the predetermined coordinates.
Crash.
A series of foaming sounds rang in her ears, and Chen Xiao'er huddled in Xinnaya's arms in a daze. It was only after a few seconds that she realized she had fallen to the ground.
Yes, it looks pitch black, but it’s actually only the second or third floor, so you won’t die if you fall down—no, Xinaya is cushioning underneath!
"Hey, hey, hey, Xinaya?!"
She quickly let go of his hand and crawled out of the soft embrace.
"I'm fine." Xinnaya lay on the ground speechlessly.
Strictly speaking, she was both in trouble and in good health.
As pure energy beings—abyssal beings—Demons have little concept of death. How could such a short distance movement possibly cause damage? But there's a problem: she's using a human body.
This human body had been injured. To be more precise, it suffered internal bleeding and severe injuries to its limbs, including a completely broken left leg with a comminuted fracture.
If she were a real person, she would die naturally if she lay down for a while longer.
"How can you be okay? You fell like this. Waaaaah, there's blood on your leg, right? Is it broken... Waaaaah."
Chen Xiao'er was so anxious that she was sweating all over but she didn't dare to move. People who have fallen are most afraid of secondary injuries and cannot be moved casually.
"Simple, go call someone. We're already at the dormitory building, why don't you go find your classmates?"
[“It’s simple, just stay away from it. Don’t you want to find your classmates? Go and choose what you want to eat first.”] Seeing that she was still in the mood to act, Xinnaya raised her right hand with a bit of disgust and reluctantly pointed outside.
"Yes, that's right, we are in the dormitory building!"
Xiao'e stood up happily, pushed away the debris beside her and staggered out.
This seemed to be an archive room where old documents were stored. She didn't bother to take a closer look and just opened the door and rushed out.
Bang!
The corridor outside was different from the one upstairs. She didn't see the road clearly and bumped into something on her forehead.
Xiao'er covered her head and continued walking forward. She ran a few steps before she reacted.
That's not right. Why didn't I turn on the light? I couldn't find the switch upstairs and was being chased by Xinnaya. There must be a switch here.
She raised her hand and felt the wall carefully. Switches were usually placed near doors, so the switch in the corridor should also be next to a door.
Rustle, rustle.
Chen Xiao'er walked in the darkness, feeling the wall. At first, she felt like she was touching warm hair, but as she moved, she realized it was just ordinary lime coating.
The person who designed the switch was somewhat ill, and she persevered for a long time before she found it.
It wasn't near the door, and it was located way down, almost at the height of her calf. If you didn't know, you would think it was the switch playing hide-and-seek with her, hiding down on purpose.
Chen Xiao'er gritted her teeth and slammed the switch with a click, with a somewhat vengeful attitude.
Click.
There were two crisp flashes of electricity, and the light came on.
First, the lights above her head, then one, two, three... the fluorescent lights around her lit up one after another, all the way to the end of the corridor.
Even light was coming through the half-open door, as if the knock just now was not on the corridor light, but on the main power supply.
"It would have been better if it had been like this earlier."
Xiao Ai took a deep breath. The bright light relieved a lot of her inner tension. She quickened her pace and ran down the corridor.
The most urgent thing is to find the classmates. Their toolboxes contain ointments and bandages to treat external injuries, and they can definitely contact the teacher through their cell phones!
[Could Lin Lang and the others be trapped in the elevator? If the elevator is restored, I won't be left alone there.]
She shook her head and stopped thinking about trivial things.
Lin Lang and the others would be safe; the elevator hadn't fallen down. Besides, there was more than one elevator available, so the students must already be in the dormitory building.
Hold on, Sinaya, don't die—
…
Snap, snap.
The devil moved his arms, and the original flesh and blood texture began to fade, turning into a translucent jelly-like substance.
The broken "bones" reunited into a crystal clear whole while wriggling, and her body no longer had the illusion of being tired and weak, and she stood up very easily.
That human… Chen Xiao’e was already a hundred meters away. Judging by human speed, she was walking pretty fast.
As the confinement faded, the abyss creatures' super-strong perception was released again, enveloping the entire dormitory building.
Except for Chen Xiao'er, He can control the real-time dynamics of all humans and lower-level anomalies.
Xinaya opened her eyes, but did not immediately transform into a form of pure energy.
The human body, despite its limitations, is also quite novel.
Besides, her second failure was caused by her being too unfamiliar with this body, so she needed to get more familiar with it.
As Chen Xiao'er said, [meaning] is very important.
Of course, she could fly out and eat all the humans outside, and then leave words and marks to mock the naive fools who were performing the ceremony above.
But that would be too boring and would only make me laughed at by my cunning allies.
Xinaya began to care about her a little.
A temporary ally is still an ally, and is someone who can barely be compared with oneself.
Chen Xiao'er must have more interesting plans, so you might as well listen to her suggestions.
I'll just eat half of humanity before she comes back.
If my ally doesn't want her identity to be exposed, I can definitely play along with her.
The devil "just happened" to break into the ritual site and slaughtered everyone inside. "Fortunately," the human hero Chen Xiao'e returned in time and used her unparalleled superpowers and amazing willpower to "repel" the devil, saving the other survivors.
I guess after I gain the status of a hero, my allies will be able to offer sacrifices for me more efficiently, right?
Even a fake heart is beating with joy at this moment.
Sinaya couldn't help but smile. She walked briskly towards the window in her boots, without melting them.
For the sake of her lovely ally, she was willing to fly out and back again, faking an invasion. Last time, with Chen Xiao'er's superpowers helping her, nothing was disturbed.
Humans are sometimes quite attentive, and it would be embarrassing to be caught by an idiot.
Click.
As the devil walked to the edge of the window, the light suddenly came on.
She wasn't surprised.
Although it is very difficult to instantly disrupt the rules of space and take over the ancient ruins, this kind of thing is nothing to the allies.
When Xinaya raised her hand and was about to open the window like a human, a pair of hands reached out from the other side and lifted the window with force.
"Chen Xiao'er?"
She called out indifferently.
To the creatures in the abyss, energy fluctuations are human fingerprints. The human figure in front of them, formed by the convergence of light, is undoubtedly Chen Xiao'er herself. She just switched to another mode to avoid her ability to restrict her teammates.
Although there were some unpleasant things when they first met, she was willing to tolerate the small thorns on the rose stems. Human cunning was a wonderful embellishment in their interactions.
"ha."
The light of the human figure flickered slowly, converging into a more solidified pale human body, with slightly raised muscles visible on the surface of the torso.
"Chen Xiao'er" laughed, and her laughter carried an emotion that the devil was most familiar with.
arrogant.
"Go to hell, idiot—"
As soon as she finished speaking, an iron fist hit her face hard, smashing Xinnaya's tall nose directly into her skull.
What's going on?
...I fell into the trap again.
"Even if it's to show your talent,"
The devil's shattered body was reconstructed in the distortion, transforming into translucent light and shadow, and its crystal-like heart, shattered into powder, was beating gurglingly.
"You, make me a little angry too."
Lan's fists fell like raindrops, breaking the short sentence into three sections.
The light surrounding the two "people" suddenly expanded, mobilizing the energy of the nearby abyss and buildings. The floor cracked, the walls split, and countless bricks, debris, and papers laden with messages flew everywhere.
Go to hell.
Xinnaya couldn't see Lan's eyes, but she could instinctively understand the malice he conveyed.
Bold.
I originally just wanted to teach you a lesson, but now there is no such easy thing!
The light was distorted, and the energy was converted in the gravel and air. They struck out several times in an instant, leaving crisscross marks on each other.
Rustle, rustle.
Xinaya's rage was vented by the blows. She found she had the upper hand and smiled coldly: "Just like last time, your power is incomplete. Your roots are not connected to the abyss. No matter how many times you fight me, you will only lose—"
"ha."
Lan laughed briefly, the sarcasm so strong that it didn't require any expression.
bluff?
Xinnaya had experienced her strength. She was considered a top-tier human, but compared to the abyss creatures with endless energy, her only explosive power was impressive.
From a rational point of view, this guy cannot connect with the abyss, which means that he is most likely a special weapon made by humans, or simply a derivative of superpowers.
[Main body] Chen Xiao'er is very weak, this guy's upper limit can't be that high.
...Then where does she get her confidence from?
The devil can't fall into the same pit three times.
While fighting, Xinnaya expanded her perception range to the maximum, monitoring every possible trap in advance.
Chen Xiao'e seized control of the building first. Did the humans have a backup plan? Ancient buried objects contain many items capable of killing abyssal creatures.
There are a lot of anomalies in the building, which is normal since this is the abyss - wait, the humans inside are converging towards us!
"You actually put your hopes on them?"
Sinaya swung out a ball of flame and asked in disbelief, "Can't you see their power level is very low? They're just weeds in the vegetable patch!"
"Weeds are enough to deal with you."
"ridiculous!"
Sinaya faced the pale flames with a sinister smile, and suddenly woke up at the moment when they were devouring each other.
No, I missed it!
Of course, mere humans are nothing to be afraid of, but what if Chen Xiao'er has special abilities?
I can't monitor her location. She's probably, no, definitely, mixed in the crowd.
First, I used "this half" of Chen Xiao'er to significantly weaken me, exchanging injuries for injuries. Then, "the other half" of Chen Xiao'er approached from another direction, locking me into a "severely injured human."
In the end, that group of weed humans took action and killed me completely.
If Chen Xiao'er's abilities exceed my previous assumptions and are enough to cause me to die as a human, then - I will really die.
Died meaninglessly, killed like wild dogs by weedy humans.
Xinnaya's attack inevitably delayed and she took two punches.
Compared to the minor injury, the "fear" that surged in her false heart made her furious!
"You bastard—" the devil roared in the flames: "I will not let you succeed—"
Xinaya turned into a ray of light, she bypassed the window and fled towards the door.
Escape?
No, your trick has a fatal weakness: the gap in strength.
What if I kill all the humans first? My current injuries are not worth worrying about!
"You're thinking too much!"
A pale light quickly approached, intertwining with her. Lan laughed wildly, tightening his grip on her arm. "Prepare for your death, bastard!"
