Chapter 259 Broken Chains
Chen Xiao'er's face turned pale. She quickly moved away from the bench, ran to the outside of the crowd and looked inside with her head tilted up.
Did Ye Xiaoyu just vomit blood? Her glimpse was a bit blurry, but she only remembered that her limbs were twitching violently, and her hands were twitching violently while she was foaming at the mouth.
Her whole body was convulsing like that. Could this be the legendary epilepsy? She clutched her pounding heart, occasionally standing on tiptoe to take a look.
"Dong, dong, dong!" From the middle of the crowd came the sound of the back of a head banging against a stool.
"Xiaoyu, don't move!" The classmates hurriedly held up her head and legs.
Ye Xiaoyu's tongue pressed against her gums, making no sound. She raised her right hand like a folded chicken claw, gesturing back and forth stubbornly in the air.
"Xiao Yao, come here!" Sun Yu grabbed Yao Linxue, who had the ability to read minds, and asked her to put her ear close to Ye Xiaoyu's face.
Yao Linxue cleared her mind of distractions and used her special ability to touch Ye Xiaoyu's spirit body. Boom! The vibrations were incredibly strong, resounding loudly in her mind.
"Don't, don't leave? Now...you mean, don't let Chen Xiao'er leave now?" Yao Linxue asked in a low voice. Ye Xiaoyu opened her eyes hard. There were no pupils in her eyes, only pure white, and her emotions fluctuated more and more strongly.
Yao Linxue closed her eyes and pressed her heart against her chest, repeating slowly, word by word: "Don't let Chen Xiao'er leave now. At least finish the final drama."
"Don't let Chen Xiao'er leave now. At least wait until the ceremony is over."
"Click." Ye Xiaoyu made a series of bubbling sounds from her throat and fell into Sun Yu's arms as if relieved.
"Wow--" Everyone was so scared that they stretched out their hands, but only after feeling the air flow from her nostrils and the heartbeat in her chest did they retract their hands with a sigh.
Chen Xiao'er was standing at the very outside and only heard Yao Linxue relay a sentence while leaning her head next to Ye Xiaoyu.
【At least finish the last drama】
Does Ye Xiaoyu care so much about this performance?
Judging from their height, they were the closest in the class. Perhaps Ye Xiaoyu was originally considered as the backup for the lead role? But how could she play the role without being able to see?
"A little rain..."
Hearing her classmate's sobs, Chen Xiao'er quickly squeezed in and said loudly, "Don't worry, I'll definitely finish the performance before I leave. You should get some rest first!"
"......" Ye Xiaoyu lay miserably in Sun Yu's arms. After hearing these words, the muscles on her face obviously relaxed a little, and her twisted right hand loosened a little, at least it was no longer folded.
"Ah." Chen Xiao'er sighed quietly, her heart aching. An arm suddenly wrapped around her shoulders from behind, pressing her back into his embrace.
"Yo." A familiar voice sounded in her ears. Even with such an abrupt touch, her body adapted well and did not tremble.
Chen Xiao'er could already smell the unique scent of Lan's hair and skin when she approached. She rubbed Lan's cheek in a relaxed manner and said softly, "Sister, are you done?"
After a short chuckle, Lan answered in a hoarse voice: "I guess so, they will be finished sooner or later." She probably didn't catch Xu She, and as for the others... Anyway, Chen Xiao'er secretly glanced at the playground behind her: she didn't see the slingshot, and she didn't see the others either, so they probably "died together".
Lan hooked his arm around her neck and dragged her back, smiling lazily, "Don't worry about them. By the way, your so-called 'teacher' is more like a human being than I thought."
"What are you saying!" Chen Xiao'er's eyes glared at Lan, then quickly softened. She grabbed Lan's arm and said softly, "Professor Milo is a very good person. And don't be prejudiced against the school..."
"Prejudice? Tsk."
Lan let out a strange laugh, which made Chen Xiao'er laugh too.
She blushed and pursed her lips, feeling embarrassed to say more: Sister Lan’s previous speculation about the school, whether it was an accident or not, was not wrong anyway.
"Hmph!" Lan scratched her nose: "Let's go." After saying that, he deliberately glanced at Chen Xiaotong. The little snake had half of its body coiled on the bench, which was an eyesore.
Lan clicked her tongue. "Tsk, are we bringing that little burden too?"
"Sister Lan!" Chen Xiao'er was really angry now. She twisted Lan's arm hard and reminded her through gritted teeth, "Xiaotong is my sister, not some little burden!"
Children also have self-esteem, how can you say that?
"Hmph..." Lan looked away meaningfully and shrugged nonchalantly, "Alright, let's go now. Let's leave this lousy school with this mess. Those people are trash anyway. The most they can do is blow a hole in here."
That group of people? Oh, and there's also the assassin hired by the Chen family mixed in with them.
Chen Xiao'er quickly shook her head: "No, I still have to finish the last scene. Please help me go to the dormitory to get my mother's belongings, and..."
She moved her lips and whispered in Lan's ear, "Can you find a few more people to help? It would be terrible if the Chen family really hid a bomb in the school."
She didn't take it seriously at first, but after being reminded by Sister Lan, she became uneasy again.
Since the Chen family dared to burn down my mother's manor in the street, they might also dare to blow up a clock tower or something in front of the school.
Lan frowned, grabbed Chen Xiao'er's wrist and turned to walk out.
"No, let's go together. I'll take you back to the dorms, and then we'll come back and wait for you to finish your performance."
"But..." Beep beep, beep beep.
Chen Xiao'er was about to ask about the killer when her cell phone and her classmates' cells rang at the same time.
One of her hands was held by Lan, and she quickly took out her cell phone with the other hand and opened it.
【School Notice】
[Please note that the main role of "Sleeping Queen" needs to be replaced due to special reasons.]
You must be talking about me, after all, I just said in front of the student union president that I don’t want to act anymore.
Chen Xiao'er swiped down and saw——
The role of the princess (originally played by Chen Xiaotong) has been changed to another actress. Please continue the performance according to the rehearsal process. Thank you.
Huh? Why a princess?... That seems right.
Chen Xiao'er thought about it and realized that the school also knew that Xiaotong's fall from the hot air balloon was a big misunderstanding and she was not actually injured.
But firstly, the incident was quite a big deal. If someone uploaded a video of a child falling from a hot air balloon and then uploaded a video of her continuing to play the role of a princess, it might not be good for public opinion.
Secondly, Xiaotong... Chen Xiao'er glanced at her sister who was still happily playing Snake on the bench, and was too embarrassed to say anything.
Family matters are family matters. Xiaotong is a very willful and lazy child. A few days ago, she was so eager to act in a play with us that she didn't even change her clothes on the day of the performance.
Xiaotong skipped the first act, messed up the second, and even when the third act was about to begin, she still refused to change her costume. No matter how you looked at it, she was not suitable to continue acting.
She said that it was too late to send this text message.
Chen Xiao'er breathed a sigh of relief. When she looked up, she found her classmates gathered around her. "Hey, what's wrong?"
Zheng Xiuli was standing closest to her and said anxiously, "We are just thinking about school. Ah, maybe it's okay for you to stay a little longer?" She seemed to want to say something, but was swallowed back by Lin Lang.
Lin Lang climbed out from behind the bench and ran to Chen Xiao'er and Lan: "I'll go to the dormitory with you, in case you need my help with anything."
Her father still hadn't shown up, and she couldn't believe that the church had completely given up on sacrificing Chen Xiao'er.
Chen Xiao'er put away her phone and walked forward, arm in arm with someone. Her cheerful voice echoed in the air: "Don't worry, we'll be back soon. We also want to watch the meteor shower with you tonight. Oh, by the way."
She turned around and smiled brightly: "Please take care of Xiaotong for me, thank you."
"Okay." Everyone agreed subconsciously and watched their backs disappear at the door.
Sun Yu held Ye Xiaoyu in his arms until Chen Xiao'er passed through the gate before he said quietly, "She left the ceremony venue. Will she be caught by the surveillance cameras?"
The scene was silent for a second or two, and Liu Pingan rubbed his face and said, "Yes, unless the glorious Eye of God of our Lord is broken."
The students fell silent again. They felt that after helping the Newborn Snakes with their work for a few days, their awe of the church had diminished a lot.
No, maybe it was earlier...
"Cough!" The little girl's artificial cough broke the silence. Chen Xiaotong put away her phone and jumped off the bench.
She first walked to Ye Xiaoyu, and in front of everyone's hesitant expressions, she pinched her to help her get rid of all the strange powers running around in her body.
The newly born snake has the ability to devour and change between reality and illusion. After a few pinches, Ye Xiaoyu's appearance basically returned to "normal".
Although this "healthy state" is forcibly distorted and stabilized by the power of the gods, and is a little scary in the eyes of abyss creatures, it is much better than sudden death.
Chen Xiaotong ignored everyone's expressions of fear or gratitude. She clapped her hands and shouted, "Alright, alright, time to get back to work!"
Work?
Xing Shuyao rubbed her dry eyes and asked doubtfully, "You no longer need to perform. Does this mean the church has changed the target of the sacrifice?"
This sentence also includes Chen Xiao'er's safety.
Since the church didn't even sacrifice Chen Xiaotong, it would certainly not sacrifice Chen Xiao'er.
In this relatively safe situation, why should the Newborn Snake continue to control the previous nested array? It does not need to take the risk of preventing the church from defeating other power holders.
Tsk~ Chen Xiaotong put her hands on her hips in dissatisfaction and said, "You humans are just using your petty minds to judge me, the great god. Who said I had to cause trouble? I just went over to check on the situation."
Moreover, her sister's role has not changed. Even if the probability of "the church letting me go and sacrificing my sister instead" is only one in a million, she will not take the gamble.
The newly born snake thought coldly in his heart: If the church dares to target my sister again, I will definitely overturn their dog food bowls!
Of course, if the church really plans to hunt other abyss creatures, she can help.
“…” The students looked at each other in silence. They vaguely realized that something was wrong.
Chen Xiaotong has stopped acting, but the ceremony venue is covered by Guanghui, and Guanghui has not made any response to her behavior - is it possible that all her actions are tacitly approved by Guanghui?
They have been taught since childhood that humanity or the Church is supreme. What should we do if the light representing the Church and the newborn snake representing the powerful chaotic gods make peace?
Should he find a way to bypass these two great gods and inform the higher-ups of the church, or...
rustle.
Zheng Lu walked out of the crowd, and it was only then that everyone realized that Chen Xiao'er's roommate did not chase out with Lin Lang, but had been hiding in Chen Xiaotong's shadow.
She took the initiative to hold Chen Xiaotong's hand and smiled gently at everyone. The smile was clear and empty, as if she was a leader who had seen through time.
"We can play it by ear, like... taking another route."
Is she hinting at something?
Everyone's heart tightened, but they were soon distracted by Chen Xiaotong's actions.
The girl's legs transformed into a snake's tail, and the tip of the tail tapped the ground lightly.
The space continued to twist amidst tiny vibrations, and translucent golden threads hung down and floated up from the sky and the earth, interweaving to form a winding passage.
The passage stretched forward in a winding manner like a nest of blood gnawed by insects, leading to the invisible other side.
"I told you so long ago." Chen Xiaotong, holding Zheng Lu's hand, was the first to step into the passage. A disembodied voice echoed in their heads: "Pray to me, human."
Everyone hesitated for a few seconds, and finally, the second person took a step and followed.
Click, click, click.
The Eye of God hovered quietly in the sky, reflecting the scenes inside the ceremony one by one.
[J: Have any of the people on the list, especially Chen Xiao'er, exhibited any unusual behavior?]
