What kind of existence would have only half a star, even lower than the tentacle's star rating?
It turned out to be Lucky E, so it’s okay.
Li Yuebai once again looked at the card representing his blue-haired friend with disdain.
It was the first time he saw Card with Lucky E, and it was not even as good as a tentacle. It was really unlucky.
Luck is E, but why are strength and agility also E? In the battle class and the league, Cedric obviously did very well...
During this month, Li Yuebai has been deeply confused about this, but he couldn't ask Cedric who knew nothing about it, so he could only try to trigger his inspiration.
In order to activate the power sharing bond, or in other words, to satisfy his sense of novelty, every time he activates a new card, he will have an abnormal contact with the card itself/or the card's aura. After all, they are just strangers... If it were an acquaintance...
Li Yuebai became even more curious.
"You really just throw it away after use." Ye Jian felt helpless: "Master Patriarch, at least I almost got trapped by the Li family's barrier for you, but you only want to see others, um..."
But taking him away was not as difficult as he had originally thought. Occasionally, a thought would cross his mind: Did Li Jianxue let Li Yuebai be taken away by him on purpose? However, this thought quickly dissipated because there was no evidence.
"Don't mention the head of the family." Li Yuebai stepped forward and hugged him: "Thank you for sending me here. Don't you have something else to do? Go and do it first."
After Li Jianxue's tricks, he inexplicably inherited the position of the head of the family, but did not get the family inheritance that he was supposed to have, and did not complete the corresponding game tasks. He tried to ask his brother NPC, but his brother said that the inheritance no longer existed... He didn't believe him.
“It seems like there are a lot of people outside.”
"After all, a lot has happened."
"Come to think of it, I'm fine if I move around here, right? The Li family isn't notorious now, are they?"
"Don't worry about it. Judging from public opinion, the others are. You are considered a victim."
"Am I not the head of the family now?" he asked in confusion.
"You are a poor little thing." He said in an ambiguous way.
Ye Jian did not explain much. He lowered his head, buried it in the crook of his neck, took a deep breath, and then stepped back, muttering, "It's too late, it's too late, I'm leaving! It's safe here, go find someone by yourself, I won't go with you." Before he left, his face was a little red.
Li Yuebai: That’s it?
In this month, the outside world has changed dramatically. The familiar academy map has been blocked, and Li Yuebai is a little uncomfortable walking in the unfamiliar building.
The death toll was huge, but to him it was just a statistic without any sense of reality.
What's more, Ye Jian seemed to be afraid that he would be sad, so she didn't tell him the news of the people she knew. In fact, many people he had met would never wake up again.
Li Yuebai listened to other people's conversation for a while, and he was a little confused about the special terms such as "infection area", "safe area", "disease source area", "flooded area", etc.
In order to completely isolate the spread of the disease, firewalls were built in various places, and divine power was injected into them, creating some large and small "safe zones". However, the vast majority of places still did not have walls.
As he walked along, he always felt that something was a little strange. When he was almost there, he realized that he was too clean and decent.
The moment he opened the door, Li Yuebai seemed to see an indifferent and gloomy face. At that moment, he felt a gaze full of malicious intent, accompanied by something evil and cold that might be ominous. The warning given to humans by the sixth sense was creepy.
Li Yuebai wasn't sure if this was his illusion.
Because when he saw clearly, Cedric had already given him a sunny smile, narrowing his fox-like eyes and revealing his white teeth.
"It's Yuebai, so you're here now? I thought you'd be late." His attitude was as intimate as usual, as if nothing had changed: "Long time no see, I heard you had something to see me about?"
He seemed to have just taken a shower and looked very clean. His blue hair, which was usually neatly groomed, now became damp and messy. His clothes were also very messy, with a few buttons buttoned at random. He lost his neat and tidy appearance and became more casual and unruly.
"Uh..." Li Yuebai didn't know what to say. Should he say, "I just want to touch you more and absorb some power to activate the card aura?" He blinked and lied without any burden: "You can see the fate of mankind, right? I want to ask something about this."
"Oh?" Cedric paused and said with interest, "You are interested in my ability? ...That's really rare."
The young man's hair was dripping with water. He smiled helplessly at Li Yuebai and said, "Don't stand at the door and chat. Come in and sit for a while. I'll wipe my hair."
Li Yuebai waited for a while.
The handsome young man finished dressing up and started to make black tea for him.
"It's like this, but you're still so particular."
"We have to make a living," he said.
When taking the cup of black tea, Li Yuebai finally touched his hand as she wished.
Cedric paused slightly, then calmly pulled his hand away, but Li Yuebai grabbed it.
"......?" The blue-haired young man remained still, but stared at Li Yuebai with a strange look: "Do you have something to ask? Do you need to hold my hand?"
Li Yuebai took his hand and said casually: "There's nothing wrong with this. You don't hate it, do you?"
Cedric smiled.
Cedric's attitude towards him was always gentle with a hint of concession. Although Li Yuebai always heard about his other side from others, it did not prevent him from making further advances in his dealings with Cedric.
In the game system, the motionless cards moved, and in reality, a black smoke suddenly appeared behind the blue-haired young man.
The fog is getting thicker.
Everyone's way of appearance seems to be a little different... Li Yuebai was staring at the smoke when he felt his hand being held back.
The blue-haired young man seemed to have received some hint or instruction and suddenly came closer to him.
"What's wrong?" Li Yuebai looked blankly at him and the human-shaped black mist gradually forming behind him.
"Of course I don't hate you... In fact, I thought you were cute the first time I saw you." He said this, holding his hand with his left hand and brushing his cheek with his right hand in a frivolous manner.
"Brother, your character has collapsed!"
Li Yuebai was a little uncomfortable with his friend's sudden straightforwardness.
The black fog formed a black robe, and the card spirit's face was covered by a black hood, as if it was hidden in the darkness, and he could not see it clearly.
Where he couldn't see, the card of the Destiny was emitting a dark golden light.
After Cedric said these words, he frowned again as if in annoyance.
...unable to control, revealing the desire deep in his heart.
He felt a little confused about this, but soon relaxed his brows.
What's going on? Hey! The card aura he summoned—
Not only did the man in black robe not say anything, but he floated in the air like a ghost, as if he was staring at the entanglement between his younger self and the owner of the card.
Li Yuebai leaned back tactically to avoid Cedric's touch.
So Cedric stopped thinking about anything else and just followed his inner desire and moved forward again.
"You seem a little strange today..." Li Yuebai's hand was held, and his expression was indescribable.
Is this card an aphrodisiac? Wasn't Cedric pretty normal before today?
"It seems a little..." I felt light and airy, like a floating balloon. "But don't worry, I'm sober now."
"What do you want to do, I mean—you're getting closer?"
"I don't know why, but I can't control the impulse in my heart." The gentle young man's face was full of distress. In the blink of an eye, he smiled softly and said, "I can't see it."
"What?"
"It's been a while since we last met... Although I have reliable information saying that you are safe, I have been very uneasy because I cannot see any of your fate clearly." He muttered to himself.
"All you see every day is death and alienation, and I'm worried that you will die like this." He held his hand and pressed it against his face.
"Don't curse me, I've been living a good life."
"It's a good thing that this is the case... I've been wanting to say this for a long time - if you don't mind, I'm eager to get to know you better." The young Destiny said in a sweet tone.
His deep blue eyes, like a blue ocean, possess a kind of tranquility that makes people yearn for it.
He cupped his face and kissed him softly.
Li Yuebai saw the content of the [Initial Ceremony] task on the Fateful card. He smiled and said, "Cedric, is this all you want to do? Just kiss me?"
The blue-haired young man was stunned, seeming to be thinking about his question.
He seemed to be a little confused, so I asked him, "...Can I continue?"
His sense of morality was unexpectedly low, yet he was also unexpectedly open-minded - Li Yuebai once thought he was the abstinent type.
As long as he was not stopped, he would not stop. The visual impact made Li Yuebai's sanity shaky.
Li Yuebai is a person without self-control, even to the NPC who he has identified as the game guide.
So full of vitality, so energetic, making people feel the beauty of fate, his blue eyes stared obsessively.
After many days, he finally saw his friend in good health and found spiritual comfort from the contact.
It's like a lonely traveler lost at sea. One day, he sees the brilliant lighthouse, which penetrates the layers of fog, leaving only a faint light.
He will be driven by the light of this beacon.
Cedric didn't understand why the omen of misfortune had no effect on Li Yuebai, just as he didn't understand where his unusual attention to him came from.
In the inevitable original destiny, Cedric was crushed by bad luck and eventually became a prisoner of bad luck. Before the destruction of all humans on the continent, he used the power of starlight, united other forces, and cast a wish into the Lake of Destiny.
Reverse time, turn the future upside down, and survive from the brink of death.
As a result, he lost his physical body and turned into a useless ghost. In the endless cracks of time and space, he gradually lost all his perception.
In the darkness, shadows are moving.
The man of destiny floated in the air, looking indifferently at the sky outside the window.
He cannot set foot anywhere where there is starlight.
