Chapter 066: Return of Love
A deep purple light pierced through the gray fog, and the devil roared in rage.
"Chen-Xiao-Er-"
Xinaya's hands appeared and disappeared from time to time. She gripped the alien steering wheel tightly and controlled the flowing "sports car" to rush towards the fleeing prey.
Her eyes could survey the unlimited space above and below, but they were fixed on the bus moving in a straight line.
To be precise, it was the only window in the middle of the bus that cleansed her murderous intent from the deepest part of her soul - Chen Xiao'er in the back!
Kill you, kill you, kill you...!
The desire to kill transcends everything at this moment, giving the devil extremely human emotions.
The flame of humanity danced within the newly born mimic soul. He relied on the energy stone to briefly ascend and touched a boundary belonging to the demon god.
Even though his rank had fallen and he was seriously injured, the feelings he had gained from being influenced by someone had not returned.
What kind of feeling is that?
The devil cannot understand and does not want to understand.
She just wanted to catch that guy, tear her cunning face with his teeth, and suck the surging, hot, sweet blood.
The gray fog retreated in panic under the turbulent emotions. The bus was getting closer and closer, from a small dot to a matchbox and then to a coffin carrying the dead.
Getting closer and closer, I am getting closer and closer to you, Chen Xiao'er.
Suddenly.
A brilliant white light rose from the bus; it was the figure of the apostle.
Zero spread his wings in the void, heading towards the devil's deep purple light.
Sinaya could feel the power from the rapidly approaching enemy, the surging energy of the Energy Stone.
That guy stored the energy stone in his body... Instinctive caution awakened a trace of rationality.
Of course, the devil could guess that the apostles were just a transit station. Humans would not waste such a huge amount of power on a single man-made creature. They would definitely use it for other purposes.
But with such an extra-large battery, even if the apostle only draws a little from it, he can still maintain the endurance to fight continuously, making the battle situation unfavorable to me.
In extreme cases, if there is a one in a billion chance that the apostle really gets the authority to fully utilize the energy stone, he can indeed unleash enormous power in a very short period of time and completely wipe me out.
Even the devil, once calmed down, will extract more memories from his thoughts.
As the apostles approached, she actually thought of Chen Xiao'er briefly, recalling the cunning human girl's every smile and frown, and the lies, traps and jokes that kept coming out of her hateful little mouth.
Do you want to attract me or play with me, or - like me, are you eager to devour each other?
Boom! The apostle's spear of light flashed like thunder.
Xinnaya stretched out her hand in the light and made a final announcement to the bus: "Chen Xiao'er, I give you one last chance. Become my ally or—"
"The fight continues until death."
…
Boom!
"Ah--" Chen Xiao'er covered her mouth in despair, watching her senior schoolmate jump off the bus and onto Xinnaya's sports car.
Things couldn't get any worse. Why did this happen? Even the military training ended early.
Chen Xiao'er's mind was in a mess. She didn't know what she had done wrong to provoke such a neurotic person like Xinaya.
I was about to admit that I was unlucky, so why did you follow me? If someone didn't know, they would think I hit you first and was trying to steal your things.
"Chen Xiao'er, I'll give you one last chance!"
From the window came Xinaya's arrogant cry: "Get back together with me—or die!"
The voice behind her could no longer be heard, and Chen Xiao'er's ears were filled with "Get back together with me".
Wait, you said "again"? When did I ever date you?!
She couldn't help but cling to the window and shouted: "Asshole - I have never been in a relationship with you -"
Huh, huh.
Chen Xiao'er took a few deep breaths. She turned around and saw her classmates in the car looking at her with varying expressions. Each of them was holding a weapon or repairing a tool, looking at her with an indescribable expression.
Her face suddenly turned red: Damn it, it’s all Xinnaya’s fault. She actually slandered us for dating in front of so many classmates!
In a few seconds, Chen Xiao'er recalled the problems that she and Xinnaya had exposed in front of their classmates, and her red face began to turn pale.
No, the root of the problem is not just the relationship.
If our classmates really believed that we were a girlfriend, then the things that happened before, such as her breaking into the campus, falling off the building and fighting with me, and hiring someone to invade the dormitory building... would all be blamed on me!
My image will be distorted into someone who is an irresponsible loser who has been hanging out with social people since high school, getting involved with the second generation of rich people and even trying to play dumb and pass the blame when things got out of hand at school.
No, that's absolutely not okay.
Chen Xiao'er raised her head and felt that everyone's eyes were filled with sarcasm and fear wherever she looked.
"Everyone, please believe me."
Tears welled up in her eyes, and she shook her head desperately with a trembling voice: "I really have nothing to do with her, wu-I have never dated her!"
“…”
Her tears seemed to scare the classmates. After a few glances, Lin Lang was the first to knock on the handrail: "Of course we believe you! How could you possibly hang out with someone like that!"
"Of course we believe you. How could you possibly be colluding with the devil?"
Zheng Xiuli also chimed in from the back row, "That's right, if you and that guy were a couple, there would have been countless scandals."
"That is to say, if you had a deal with the devil, you would have found an opportunity to sell us all out long ago."
With the leader making the final decision, the rest is naturally just comfort.
"Don't cry, classmate Chen, we won't doubt you."
"It's okay, it's okay. You got the scoring items back. The school will understand!"
"Look, the senior is about to beat her to pieces!"
Chen Xiao'er wiped her tears and looked out the window. Ling had indeed gained the upper hand.
Even though she had jumped into the other car, the senior didn't lose her balance at all. She pressed her knees straight into Xinaya's chest, and the two of them engaged in a melee.
The luxury car probably had an exaggerated automatic driving function. It drifted left and right without releasing the steering wheel, bypassing one obstacle after another, and still kept close to the bus.
"Xiao'er, we're here to help you!" Zheng Lu took out a sniper rifle from under the seat and handed it to Lin Lang.
Lin Lang looked into her eyes, nodded, and put the gun to the window.
"Huh?" Chen Xiao'er stared at the gun barrel in confusion, not reacting for a moment.
Lin Lang aimed incredibly quickly, and in almost the next second, the muzzle erupted with a crisp bang. The pink-haired girl's hands held the gun steady, and there was no discernible recoil.
"Yeah~" Lin Lang put down his gun and gave a thumbs up to the stunned Chen Xiao'er: "Hit!"
…
"I've never been with you—"
Human voices came from the wind. Xinaya blocked the successive fists and knee strikes, and her eyes became more terrifying.
Haha, are you admitting this? Even I'm just part of your game.
What an arrogant fellow, daring to reveal the truth and face my wrath.
The power from the abyss gradually awakens, flowing through the body like an electric current.
Sinaya's emerald eyes were tinged with gold and purple, and the corners of her mouth were even stretched into a deep smile.
It’s interesting—interesting, really interesting!
I'm amused by you again, Chen Xiao'er.
I feel happy every time because of you, Chen Xiao'er.
We never formed an alliance, never made a real pact, never had any relationship other than predation.
In your eyes, I am a pest roaming in the abyss.
In my eyes, you are a sweet and lovely cunning piece of meat.
Those people, including the apostles in front of us, are not important. The only important thing is this grand hunt, which belongs to you and me alone.
The devil's "blood" is boiling, but his external fighting spirit is cooling down rapidly.
Because fighting with the apostle was meaningless, she could not defeat the apostle carrying the energy stone, nor could she bypass it and directly contact Chen Xiao'er. Continuing to fight would only deplete her energy and she would also run the extremely small risk of falling.
It's time to leave and regroup in a suitable place. I will look forward to fighting you next time.
Xinnaya raised her head and prepared to take one last look at her prey through the thin mist.
Suddenly, a gust of wind sounded beside my ears.
This apostle was truly haunting. She had grown accustomed to his rhythmic blows, raising her hand to deflect the piercing spear of light.
Pop.
A crisp sound splashed on her chest, and Xinnaya looked at the small hole in her chest in disbelief.
That is certainly not her weakness. Chen Xiao'er is too far away, and she doesn't have a materialized heart now - but this wound - Chen Xiao'er, you actually gave others the power to hurt me!
You actually gave such rights to others. How dare you let others intervene between you and me? Does that mean... you have always stood on the side of humans, and I am just an [dispensable] prey?
The devil bit her lip with a crunching sound, her gaze piercing through countless barriers and fixed on the girl who was acting pretentiously in the carriage: Chen Xiao'er was just as she thought, crying and telling something, and she also wanted to exert her power to manipulate people's hearts among her companions.
Sinaya could no longer endure all this. She gathered all her strength to pursue him, transformed it into a pure ray of light, and "fled" towards the abyss.
You belong to me, Chen Xiao'er.
One day I will make you admit with your own mouth that you belong to me! And then I will crush you completely.
…
Oh, she should be okay, right? The senior also jumped out of the car.
Chen Xiao'e wiped her tears and sat back in her seat, her eyes filled with confusion. She simply couldn't understand why everyone ended up pulling out their guns and shooting.
Not only Lin Lang, everyone just pulled out their guns and shot at Xinnaya, but she was the only one standing there blankly, like a flower girl who had walked into a gunfight scene by mistake.
"Student Chen?"
Xing Shuyao looked over worriedly. He sat in a wheelchair from a distance and asked carefully, "You're in a bad mood right now, right? Can you tell us about it?"
In his eyes, Chen was always blank, standing among different shades of gray like a clean, bright white. However, now this bright white had become transparent and somewhat gray.
Student Chen has very special superpowers, and he doesn't want any special changes to happen on his way back.
Chen Xiao'er shook her head weakly and said with a wry smile, "Nothing, just a little tired."
What else can I say? We didn't actually hit Xinaya, we just wanted to scare her off. But I was just standing there doing nothing, which made me look like I was close friends.
But if she had to do it again, she wouldn't shoot Sinaya just to make a point. My shooting skills are average, and it would be terrible if I hurt someone.
The atmosphere became silent, and Chen Xiao'er lowered her head even more thoroughly: I'm sure people will misunderstand me, but I can't blame anyone, this is my own trouble.
"Um, classmate Chen." Lu Min suddenly patted her shoulder and said loudly, "I remember you like listening to music?"
"Ah, not bad." Chen Xiao'er straightened her back with all her might, ready to listen to her classmates recommend some songs. Lü Min was kind enough to help change the subject.
Lu Min cleared his throat: "Ahem, ahem, ahem, I still remember the song you sang before, it was very nice."
"Thank you..." Chen Xiao'er smiled bitterly. I was pushing the cart in the back while she was singing, so no one should have heard her. But since her classmates had already praised her, she shouldn't have objected.
"Then I—" Lu Min suddenly stood up, waving his hands upwards: "Let's sing together! Let's use that song to cheer up classmate Chen!"
?
Chen Xiao'er had a subtle, ominous premonition.
Sure enough, just as she weakly raised her hand to stop it, the sound of singing around her began to rise one after another.
"Let's row the oars~"
"The boat pushes away the waves——"
…
The melody was unsteady, the rhythm was strange, and even the tragic voices rose and fell, converging into a piercing, demonic sound. How could anyone sing this song like this? It made me miss home so much... Ugh.
"Huh," Chen Xiao'er laughed briefly, with a sour nasal tone.
She wiped the tears from her eyes and gently joined the chorus: "...The little boat is floating gently..."
Thanks.
Thank you for answering the questions I couldn't ask in this way.
Will everyone really accept me like this?
【Welcome to join Chen】
At this moment, Chen Xiao'er was finally willing to believe that no one in the entire car of classmates would make up rumors about her behind her back - because when she was crying, her classmates took the initiative to reach out to her.
…
The driveway was shrouded in gray fog, and a pair of headlights were rushing towards them with bright light.
A hazy glow enveloped the relatively spacious carriage, a hissing sound echoing through the air. Various unconscious anomalies attempted to approach, only to vanish the instant they approached.
Anyone with a little bit of consciousness would actively move away and tremble under the bright light bands of the wheels.
“——”
Under the transparent glass, the driver hummed softly along with the young classmates.
