Chapter 169: First Sight
On the first day of school, the campus was still immersed in a quiet holiday atmosphere.
The crowded crowd at the school gate rushed in through the gate, and when they reached the garden and the playground, they dispersed and walked forward in groups of three or two.
Lin Lang was holding Chen Xiao'er's hand, and he couldn't help but look back frequently to look at the two new classmates.
She didn't know why, but the moment she saw Chen Xiao'er, she felt a strong sense of familiarity. She would also help other students in danger, but the emotion was definitely different.
What exactly is the difference?
Lin Lang followed them all the way to the teaching building before he vaguely understood his emotions just now: impatience, I was very impatient before.
This urgency is partly due to concern for classmates, but more importantly, it is due to concern for oneself.
Come to think of it, I've been feeling a bit uneasy since I got up this morning.
Lin Lang trusted her instincts. She'd been hit by a car while riding her bike today, and then had a dispute with the driver. These unfortunate events hadn't deterred her from attending school.
She didn't want to take leave to stay at home, nor did she want to go to the hospital. She just wanted to rush to school.
Lin Lang's eyes dimmed slightly: I originally thought that I didn't want to miss the first day of school, but now it seems more like... I don't want to miss this classmate.
…
Lin Lang's thoughtful expression was magnified on the big screen, and different groups were analyzing different details.
"Her expression showed that she was thinking, and she was thinking about something complicated." The messages were categorized and summarized, and the messages with the most likes were slowly transformed into eye-catching red letters.
Individuals with stronger psychic powers are suspected to have stronger intuition in illusions. This intuition is likely derived from their original memories, abilities, and experiences.
Therefore, Lin Lang and Ling, two people who have had a lot of contact with Chen Xiao'er, will take the initiative to approach Chen Xiao'er in the illusion and show their friendly side.
At the same time, the name Xinnaya also corresponds to the devil Xinnaya. Her obsession with Chen Xiao'er and Ling's dislike for her should be influenced by past experiences.
Although the illusion can give them new roles, it cannot erase their memories or give them any contrary hints.
From the perspective of the Devouring Snake, if she could do this, it would probably cause the church members to kill each other, or directly make everyone hostile to Chen Xiao'er.
Therefore, [the Devouring Snake did not completely control the illusion.]
The camera continued to move forward with Chen Xiao'er. They let go of each other's hands at the stairs and climbed up the steps.
The walls and steps were perfectly smooth, with no jagged bullet marks or tentacles sticking out.
Even so, messages like "There seems to be nothing abnormal in this world" sank to the bottom, and no one agreed with it for the time being.
"Here I come." The expert put down the water cup in her hand. She squinted her eyes in front of the screen and looked inside the classroom through Chen Xiao'er's perspective.
…
Zheng Lu walked into the classroom with dark circles under her eyes, and she always felt that the classmates around her were whispering.
Today is the first day of school. The teacher hasn't had time to assign desks yet, so those who arrived first have taken the best seats. It's still early, and the front and back rows are empty.
She threw her schoolbag into the last row and sat down, supporting her face with one hand and looking out the window, so that her dark circles would be facing outside and avoid being stared at and talked about by others.
It’s so noisy…really noisy.
Zheng Lu's vision was blurry, and the noise in the classroom gave her a headache. It was so noisy at home, and so noisy at school... So boring, so miserable...
[I'd rather die]
Cold words floated in her mind. She looked at the window and really wanted to jump out.
There are no good things in my memory. In fact, I really wanted to use a rope to hang up in the morning and run to school in one breath.
Is it necessary for me to come here? Nothing good will happen here.
Ta-da, da-da-da.
Someone was approaching quickly from behind, but Zheng Lu didn't think it had anything to do with her. Even if it did, so what? She had no strength at all.
Brush.
Her hair was pulled back along with her scalp, and the pain made her push the table away: "You're crazy!"
Zheng Lu finally snapped out of her depression, raised her hand, and scratched her arm hard behind her hair. Her nails dug deep into the soft flesh, drawing streaks of blood.
"How dare you catch me?!" The girl behind me screamed, "It's all your fault! You cursed me! Otherwise, how could I be so unlucky?!"
"Let me go!" She waved away the other person's hand, then turned her body and kicked him hard in the stomach.
Zheng Lu's delicate face* was filled with anger. She pressed her knee against the girl's abdomen, and both of them slammed into the wall at the same time.
Bang!
Zheng Lu's forehead hit the girl's forehead, but the other girl was even worse off, with the back of her head hitting the blackboard hard.
"Ah!" The girl screamed loudly and quickly pulled her hands back to protect her head.
The hot blood fell from behind her ears. Zheng Lu looked at her face while breathing heavily, slowly recalling what she had said before.
Curse? Who are you?
Her contemptuous expression disappeared after a few seconds, and she remembered, I think I actually cursed this guy?
The girl in front of me is called Du Zhizhu. She is the older sister brought here by her stepfather. She came to stay for a few days at the beginning of summer vacation.
This girl is annoying, has no manners and no brains, so I cursed her and made her unable to control her hands and feet for several days and fell down.
"Heh." Zheng Lu sneered, twisting her collar and whispering in her ear, "You've learned my family's unique skills, yet you still dare to fight me? Do you want to die?"
Well, I really want to die.
She looked at Du Zhizhu's shrinking pupils and laughed: But you don't seem to want to die.
…
Click, click, click.
Close-ups of their different parts were captured and sent to their respective screens.
Experts observed the micro-expressions and voices from all angles and quickly concluded that "abnormal powers still exist in the fantasy world."
Zheng Lu should not have lied. The existence of a curse in the illusion means that abnormal power still exists.
"Where are the anomalies?" someone asked with a frown.
His colleague whispered, "I guess there are two possibilities. First, there's a time limit. Now isn't the time for anomalies to appear. Second, there's a spatial limit. This isn't a place where anomalies are active."
"What if the anomaly is hiding from Chen Xiao'er? Zero's ability can suppress anomalies, and the Devouring Snake might be manipulating the anomaly to avoid her." The young observer kept typing. "Only Chen Xiao'er has a divine eye-like ability. She can't see anything too far away."
The colleague turned around in surprise and said, "You didn't know? Oh, you really didn't know. Bishop Milo went in personally, carrying an Eye of God."
"Ah?!" The observer was startled and shook the mouse quickly: "That's not right. The radiation of the Eye of God is so high. Is it okay for the bishop to be in charge? This kind of task requires a low-level school worker..." He stopped talking halfway.
The colleague's tone was a bit heavy: "The bishop is level 4. A low-level janitor would melt anyone if they brought her in."
He tapped the upper left corner of the screen. "Look, the entire school is lit up. Bishop Milo is nearby. Anyway, this area will be visible even after Chen Xiao'er leaves. We can then rule out the effects of the reset and analyze whether there are any more anomalies in this world."
The Eye of God is a very special artifact. It is a fragment of brilliant projection that can theoretically be generated infinitely, but the existence of each fragment requires a continuous supply of energy. Once the church cuts off the supply, it will immediately self-destruct.
The Eye of God is more like the "sight" of the Radiant rather than the "eye" of the Radiant. Activating the Eye of God is like directing the divine gaze to a specific point.
This operation was very important, so two Eyes of God were deployed at the same time.
One sticky device on Chen Xiao'er's body amplifies the monitoring range, and when reset to zero, it can ignore the huge amount of radiation generated by the fragments. She can wear it for as long as she wants.
The other one was sealed in a lead box by Bishop Milo and brought into Changhe City.
The Church of Light formulated several plans before the operation, but they did not expect that the interior of the final ritual site would be an abnormal area that "seemed to be normal".
After a while, the observer asked softly, "Bishop Milo is exposed to such high radiation energy. Is it okay?"
"Of course it's important, but at the level of a bishop, he'll still contribute [existence] after his death, becoming a presence similar to Master C and the others."
They both fell silent, and the sound of keyboard tapping rose and fell.
…
"goodbye."
"Goodbye, senior~" Chen Xiao'er waved while standing on the stairs, watching Ling walk up the steps.
She turned around and smiled at Lin Lang: I didn't expect that we were classmates~ Hehe, we are all freshmen in high school, and what the discipline committee member said was indeed false.
Boom!
As soon as Chen Xiao'er opened the door, she was frightened by a loud noise: a girl was grabbing another girl's collar and throwing her onto the blackboard!
"Hey!" Lin Lang rushed in immediately and pulled them apart one by one: "Stop fighting, talk it out!"
Du Zhizhu jumped up and spoke first: "I don't want to fight! This person is the daughter of the mistress, and she even curses people! My hand was broken because of her!"
The daughter of a mistress? How dare you say that.
Zheng Lu wanted to laugh but was too tired to do so. She didn't bother to argue. She thought that her family's religious beliefs were worse than being considered a mistress. Whatever.
She pushed Lin Lang away weakly and walked towards her seat with her hands hanging down: "No matter what that guy says, you'd better not believe it..."
Tsk, how could I let you escape!
Du Zhizhu pretended to hold his stomach while taking out a glass bottle from his belt with his other hand.
Hehehe, as we all know, all the abnormalities in this world can only take effect at night.
I just need to pour this bottle of abnormal venom on her, and then bite her to death. It will be like boiling water! Wait until she dies at home tonight. Parents will not speak for the dead.
Du Zhizhu didn't want to be so radical, but after seeing the students in the classroom clearly, the hairs on her body stood on end: everyone, all the students gave her a feeling of extreme danger.
She really believed in her intuition. Since all her classmates made her feel dangerous, it meant that they would all stand on the side of the bitch Zheng Lu in the future.
I have no choice but to take a risk and gamble!
Snap, snap.
Lin Lang was looking at Xiao'e, about to say something. The other students' attention was focused on Zheng Lu, who was about to return to her seat. Du Zhizhu ran on tiptoe, deftly uncorking the bottle.
Hey, go die——
Du Zhizhu's smile gradually became ferocious: When two brave men meet on a narrow road, the braver one wins. My determination is greater than yours!
Boom! A burst of impact hit Du Zhizhu, causing her to suddenly lose balance.
who? !
Du Zhizhu turned around in disbelief, and a black-haired girl grabbed her wrist tightly and twisted it hard!
The glass bottle fell to the ground with a clang, and a few drops of liquid splashed out, all over Du Zhizhu's legs.
It's all over.
Du Zhizhu's eyes rolled back and he fell down.
