Chapter 10: Land of Sighs (10)
[Discussion on the content of the new chapter]
First of all, there is a very tall tower building in the direction that Sister Bai was looking at on the way to the meeting at the beginning. Combined with what Sister Bai said, it is confirmed to be the Imperial Capital.
Old thief, you finally let out the information about the Imperial Capital! !
Although it is not released, at least we know where the Imperial Capital is.
Then there is the black-haired new character, the Executive. Although only two frames of him opening his eyes were drawn, I have a hunch that he is definitely an important figure in the later period, and "Executive" sounds very unusual. At first glance, he is positioned as a villain.
I was surprised that the old thief actually drew the entire meeting of tracing the origin. The amount of information was too much and the child was confused. The situation is very critical! If you want to see a detailed analysis, please move to the next door!
The content of the audition competition really opened my eyes. I thought there was nothing interesting to watch, but I didn’t expect that not only did they explain Yu Bai’s past, but Makisuke also successfully upgraded. Congratulations!
1L: The old thief has been hiding it, but this sentence almost exploded with information.
5L: And there are new characters! Although there are only two shots, I am confident that he is hi husband!
12L: Surprise! A certain hot-blooded manga was changed into a girl manga (bushi)
23L: OMG, the old thief suggested drawing more handsome guys... I fell in love with the new character at first sight...
48L: If he is really a villain, then I choose to surrender to the enemy.
55L: This sentence really contains a lot of information. I saw many big guys in the analysis post digging for clues, and my brain was confused. And why is there so much information at once? Is it paving the way for the plot later? The next chapter won’t be the Evil Zone, right?
62L replied to 55L: Most likely, the content of the meeting clearly points to a new chapter.
84L: Did Bai Jie suffer so badly in the past? I’m so heartbroken...
104L: It feels like Bai Jie and Deng Deng’s relationship is not right? Even if there is a misunderstanding, it broke out in a tryout? ?
109L replied to 104L: It’s not your illusion, some big guys have analyzed it, You Bai and Makisuke seem to have been affected by something and are so impulsive.
139L: AAAA my late wife, why do you appear with a knife!
142L: Off topic, who is Deng Deng? Makisuke?
148L replied to 142L: Before, the teacher teased Mujie about what Huangyu said about him, saying that he was the always dazzling and warm light of the fifteenth district, and many people liked to call him Deng Deng when they were joking.
156L: Old thief, you really...Deng Deng's eyes became more determined after being lonely. It's obviously a good thing to upgrade, so why is he still giving out knives!
...
The comic opens with a meeting to trace the origins. Most of the speeches were not skipped, and important information was thrown out one after another. Then, the first appearance of "Night Watch" and his rapid offline, which surprised Dorota. She was thoughtful. It seems that she still needs to be on guard.
The subsequent content is similar to what she knew, until the duel between You Bai and Mujie -
a memory fragment, a person in a painting.
Cuiwei's eyes were filled with the vitality and splendor of spring. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her hair was like floating clouds, and her long skirt spread to her feet, like a misty fog brushing over the mountains. She was born with a gentle and beautiful appearance, and it was unforgettable at first sight.
White Crane.
Her former identity.
The barrage was briefly stuck for a few seconds, and soon it soared at a terrifying speed.
[Ahhhhhh teacher!!]
[Why did the teacher appear again with memories? Ahhhh teacher, please come back soon. We and Dengdeng really miss you!!]
[Four years! Four years! Do you know how Dengdeng and I have been spending the past four years? TT]
[There was a loud noise in the sky, and the white moonlight appeared shiningly]
[The teacher's face really touches me! Help, I really love this kind of classical beauty! And she's so gentle! Except for the teacher, nothing is perfect!! 】
【I'm in tears. After awakening, TT Makusuke has been working hard to grow and help the organization. His upgrade also takes the teacher into consideration. The person he cares about the most has always been the teacher】
【Don't use the knife of affection to kill me ah ah ah ah】
Dorota was startled by the large number of bullet screens. She tilted her head. The perception that she had never noticed before became unusually clear at this moment. It seems that her other identity is really popular.
Maybe...
"Xiaobai."
"...I'm here."
"You haven't told me yet, what are the specific restrictions on collecting 'telekinesis'?"
"I can only choose one character's popularity in exchange for abilities, and it must be someone other than the protagonist." The observer said, and then continued with a guilty conscience, "But I have already used up the popularity of 'Shiraku'. After all, a new body plus the transmission requires a lot of popularity..."
Dorota:
"It's okay, popularity can be accumulated again." Dorota smiled, "So no matter whether it is 'Shiraku', 'Night Watch' or 'Dorota', no matter what identity, as long as it is played by 'me', the popularity will eventually belong to me, right?"
"In that case, I have to think carefully about the scripts of 'Shiraku' and 'Night Watch'."
She can even arrange another identity.
Observer: "...Ah?"
Can it be played like this?
-
It was already evening when Makisuke woke up.
Dorota leaned against the window and read a book in the bright light. When she saw him wake up, she closed the book and looked at him silently. The soft profile of his face overlapped with the face in the memory fragment, which made him dazed for a moment.
"Can you feel it? You are a high-class person now."
Dorota stood up and walked closer. Beautiful and transparent ice flowers formed in her hands. Mu Jie touched the cabin glass with a sense of understanding. The ice flowers changed several times like a spinning Rubik's Cube, and the halo refracted, imprinted in his eyes and turned into mottled colors.
Looking at each other across the container, the clear and bright sea in her eyes was like a bright early spring when the cold had long disappeared.
Makisuke responded indifferently, he clicked the button to open the hatch, and then walked out of the maintenance cabin. Dorota explained what happened after he fainted, and he whispered, "Thank you for your hard work."
"Sodu also went in. If his opponent was me, I would not let him go. Don't blame me for bullying him when the time comes."
Dorota did so.
Unfortunately, the next day's schedule was arranged, and the opponent was Suo Du. Dorota was very considerate and let him hold on for a few more minutes before the duel ended.
You Bai had just woken up and rushed to another equally important competition, so he could not participate in the subsequent schedule, but the school would of course reserve a place for this semi-champion. Therefore, Dorota and You Bai did not face off.
In the end, Dorota won the first place without honor. They were all students who had just shown their talents. There was nothing to be proud of if she won, and it seemed that she was a bit bullying the weak.
Of course she had to enter the league, not only to enter, but also to be the first in the spotlight. The plunderer sent by the imperial capital would come to watch, and she had to attract his attention and leave a false impression of a magician, so that it would be easier for her to take action.
When the time came, she would kill him with her own hands.
Using the identity of "Dorota".
Makisuke, who was more excited than himself for winning the first place, kept talking excitedly, Dorota held her forehead, and Sodu watched quietly on the side, and reached out to adjust her black hairband.
"Dorota!"
Seeing who the person was, Mujie quickly stretched out his hand to block Dorota behind him, hiding the person. He looked at the young master Haili who was always not easy to mess with, with a vigilant look, "Young master Haili, what's the matter? The teacher who controls order is nearby. If you want to take revenge, you have to pay attention."
Rong Yegu noticed Mujie at this time. He frowned unhappily, "Get out of the way, I'm looking for Dorota."
Mujie stared and refused to give in, like a stuffed dog protecting its master. In the deadlock, Dorota tapped his shoulder blade and whispered, "Let me talk to him."
Dorota walked forward and was about to speak when something was stuffed into his hand.
Dorota:?
She lowered her eyes and found that it was a cubic supernatural prop, with snowflakes embedded in it, like a sealed glacier, crystal clear, blue so blue that it melted into her eyes and turned into pure white.
"It can increase the freezing time and strength of ice." Rong Yegu's tone was still arrogant, but his earlobes were slightly red, reflecting the silver-white polar star earrings, which were hidden in his hair and looming. He looked away awkwardly, his tone cold: "Don't get me wrong, I just want to thank you for your help."
In fact, he really wanted to ask what happened in the second half of yesterday's game, why he only remembered bits and pieces. The doubts had already rolled back into his throat, and he instinctively avoided them, including the reason why others had changed their impression of him to high-class even though he was still middle-class.
It was like a subconscious reaction before encountering danger.
Dorota did not refuse and simply thanked him. The people following behind Rong Yegu widened their eyes in horror. When did the arrogant young master of the Haili family take the initiative to show goodwill to others?
No, when did this exchange student with an unknown background establish a good relationship with the young master of Haili? ?
Dorota ignored the shocked eyes of others and raised her hand to shake the communicator, "Add a friend?"
Rong Yegu glanced at him and said nothing. He just raised the terminal silently, added it and left. Mujie had not come back to his senses yet, "Do you know that arrogant guy?"
It seems that the relationship is okay.
Dorota thought for a while, "Can it be considered an acquaintance?"
Mujie: "..."
Can this be considered?
"Let's not talk about that for now. What did you want to say before?"
Makisuke did not answer her question directly, but asked, "How much do you know about the league?"
"Well... I know that there are three games in the league, and it will be broadcast live, and it is also a points system. I don't know much about the other things." After all,
when she was in the 15th district, she was busy running around every day, so she didn't have the time to pay attention to the college league.
"Tell me more about it."
"The college league will be held in a simulated venue for 22 days. It will be broadcast live to the entire 15th District."
"The first game of the league is an individual game. Two students will be randomly drawn to compete. Losing three games in a row will be considered eliminated. The top 40 players from each college will advance to the next game."
"The second game is a team game. Teams from the same school will earn points by killing aliens. The rules are the same as our usual training games. It lasts for one week. At the end, the individual points of the team will be distributed proportionally. The top three will enter the finals - to exchange ideas with the senior predators."
"High-ranking officials from the capital will be watching the games during those days, so you have to be careful with your every move."
Dorota was a little absent-minded, "Okay, I understand."
The college league is not fair, and there is a lot of stuffing. As long as you are powerful enough, the school will turn a blind eye to it. It was not difficult for Mujie to get an extra place, and Dorota was not surprised to see Rong Ye Gu at the league venue later.
The white-haired, blue-eyed girl listened to the person next to her with her ears tilted, but her attention was not here. She glanced at the hidden micro-surveillance, as if she was looking at an outsider hiding behind the scenes.
Boring tricks.
The waiting hall of the league match field is a building specially built by Slane College. When people from other colleges arrived one after another, Dorota was talking to the observer. She looked up and even saw a helicopter gradually landing on the tarmac.
Dorota: "..."
If it was a noble, it would be outrageous.
"Isn't this the young master Haili?"
Zhang Yang's voice rang out with a gun and a stick. His pace was casual, and his silver-gray hair was as unrestrained as his personality. His eyebrows were full of youthful spirit. His sunglasses were slightly raised to cover his cold and sharp eyes. When he smiled, he was full of arrogant malice.
The young man walked straight to Dorota, his thin lips curled up in a mocking arc, "Are the representatives of Slane College sure they want to stand next to the illegitimate child of the Heri family?"
She had some impression of this person. The prominent Naleh family from the Erliu District had a more important position than the Heri family that came later. The head of the family and some of their close relatives settled in Zhuwang, the second district of the imperial capital, and they also had a lot of say in the imperial capital. It was said that the only son was thrown to the fifteenth district for discipline because he was too rebellious.
The eldest son of the Naleh family, Motie Naleh.
The Heri family and Naleh have always been at odds.
"That's bad, you should stand further away." Rong Yegu was already accustomed to Mottier's daily ridicule. He responded calmly, "So as not to pollute your eyes."
Mottier snorted coldly and ignored him. He looked at Dorota with arrogant eyes. His tone softened a bit but still not good: "I'll give you a piece of advice. If you don't want to go against Naleh, don't get too close to the Haili family."
"Also, mixing with civilians will lower your status, including those two guys without background."
Sodu and Makisuke who were inexplicably implicated:?
How arrogant! Even the nobles were not qualified to be mentioned by name, just because they were not in the same position.
Dorota thought about it and still felt that the performance of the young master Hai Li was more adorable.
"Are all members of the Naleh family so arrogant? It's so uncomfortable!" As soon as Mottier left, Mujie secretly complained, "This is much more difficult to get along with than a certain person."
Rong Yegu was instantly furious when he heard this. He couldn't afford to offend Mottier, but he didn't dare to say anything to Mujie, who seemed to be from a poor family with no background. "You rude guy! Who are you talking about?!"
"I'm not talking about you." Mujie pretended to be stupid, "I'm talking about Mottier, what is the young master Haili angry about?"
"...Have they always been like this?" Dorota gave him a look of looking at a fool, and took a few steps back tacitly with Suodu. He felt that the argument between the two was quite interesting, and it was both inconsistent and funny.
"They have only met a few times, and they would basically quarrel every time they met."
Suodu recalled and felt that there was really nothing to say, "Rongye Gu used to think that Makisuke was a descendant of some noble family, but later found out that he was just an ordinary civilian, so he didn't have the initial intention to win him over. Makisuke didn't like his young master's temperament, so they have never got along."
This is really...
"It's a little troublesome."
"Huh?"
"The specific items of the second team competition are not clear yet, but it will definitely involve aspects that require cooperation."
Dorota smiled and added the second half of the sentence: "If they hold us back, I will not show mercy."
Makisuke, Rongye Gu: Suddenly felt a chill on my back.
They waited in the center of the hall. After the person in charge explained the rules of the league, a space awakener teleported them to the competition venue. When they came to their senses again, the surrounding environment had been turned upside down. Two players stood in the center of the competition arena. The screen hung high, showing their names and the academies they belonged to. The
circular audience seats took in everything. The seats were messed up. The person next to Dorota was Mottier, whom she had met not long ago. The silver-haired young man tilted his head to look at her, his eyes under the sunglasses could not see his thoughts clearly, "I heard that you are the first in Slane College?"
"I am honored to be known by the representative of the Talent College."
He smiled meaningfully when he heard it, "Your name is Dorota, right? I look forward to your performance in the league."
"The empire needs more than just high-ranking people."
His words hinted at something, and Dorota became interested. He guessed something in his mind and pretended to be curious, "The only ones who really have hope for the league are the common people and the petty nobles who are unwilling to be trapped in the fifteenth district. So what is your purpose in coming here, Young Master Naleh?"
Whether it was the word "common people" or the respectful title from a peer that pleased him, Mottier raised his lips in a good mood, and patiently explained, "Come and see which poor common people with strength can be recruited for my own use. I just want to find some new bodyguards recently."
"It's the honor of these scum."
Dorota smiled copingly, "I don't know which common people will be so lucky."
The matter of finding bodyguards is either because of the novelty of the young master, or because the Elliu District has not been very peaceful recently.
Dorota's guess was more inclined towards the latter.
She had to ask Yu Bufeng about the recent situation in the Elu District. She only knew a rough idea, and after leaving it to him to handle, she had not had time to ask about the current specific situation.
"The Elysium?"
Just as she was thinking, the observer suddenly spoke, his tone was a little strange, Dorota realized something, her expression did not change, she gave an affirmative answer and even joked: "How do trapped people get intelligence?"
"Even the pathetic and weeping caged birds have the value of trust. After all, the cage was made by Huagui in exchange for freedom, and the person who feeds it should not be stingy and generous."
"Status, camp or purpose, anyway, all you care about is the result, right?"
"I'm sorry that I have to be reserved now, but I will tell you everything about the imperial capital."
"Everything I know, from the 'Genesis Plan' that started decades ago, the transformation experiments of the Federation Research Institute to the current trends in the imperial capital, I will tell you without reservation."
Dorota was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Sir, the Holy Son of Saint Vieille Church, I heard that you can predict your fate, but you can't escape the control of the Hope District?"
All the details revealed his identity to her. He had never thought of hiding it from the beginning.
The Holy Son of Saint Vieille Church, a hidden existence.
The "trump card" of the Hope District.
"Using popularity to exchange wishes is just one of my abilities. Similarly, foresight is not my real ability. It is more like a kind of talent that I was born with."
"My real ability is [devour], which takes away the life of others to gain abilities, but new abilities need to be adapted, and they are not as powerful as the original owner, and my body will be weaker." It is a
very strong ability. No wonder the people in the imperial capital are greedy and want to take away his freedom and force him to be subdued.
"The one who suppressed my ability and took me away by force was 'Reunification', and the one who imprisoned me was the bishop, and behind him was the tacit approval and connivance of the upper echelons. They are even ready to choose a time to erase my memory and make me a complete puppet."
The voice of the observer came into the sea of consciousness, and no joy or anger could be heard.
"I hate them."
"Don't you hate everything too?"
The cheers were deafening, with waving limbs, excited expressions, and encouraging words, but Dorota just watched indifferently, like a passerby who didn't fit in.
Dorota just remained silent, and the smile on the corners of her lips did not disappear until she stood on the platform, and even deepened faintly, showing a bit of perversity. She was a little impatient and rough in her actions, and the falling ice spikes reflected a brilliant and cold light.
At the end, she just sneered.
"If only all this had been buried last night."
They are all aliens that are not tolerated by this world.
