Chapter 138 Mizuki Private High School (Ten)
"I've handed her over to you. I asked her for a long time just now, but she didn't want to say anything."
Barbie used her skills and those elves were no match for her. She easily brought the female student to Beixi and Nanhuan.
Looking back, she saw those elves who no longer dared to come forward easily but were not knocked down by her directly. She couldn't help but frowned, "They are not good at fighting, but they won't die easily. After such a long time, there is not even a hole in their bodies."
Beixi had already landed on the ground with Nanhuan in her arms. With Barbie and Ayou blocking the way in front, they had a chance to catch their breath temporarily.
"It's the system setting, or maybe a direct attack is not the best way to kill them. Our mission is to turn them into human beings, not to completely eliminate them."
Bei Xi had noticed this problem just now. After a brief exchange with Barbie, she followed Nan Huan's gaze and focused her attention on the girl.
"I know my limits."
Barbie knew what she meant and responded.
Because of this sentence, Bei Xi and Nan Huan discovered at the same time that the female student in front of them seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Are you worried about the elves?"
With only twenty minutes left, Nan Huan had no time to beat around the bush. Before the other party could react, he suddenly asked the question.
When the girl was caught, she was still struggling and scared, but when she saw that neither the person who caught her nor the person in front of her seemed to want to hurt her, she was no longer as panicked as before.
But when Nan Huan asked this question so suddenly, surprise and confusion still flashed across her young face.
He seemed to not understand how the other party saw it. After a moment, he realized that his reaction was inappropriate, so he quickly put on a serious expression and said, "What are you talking about? I don't understand."
Apart from her short height, her reactions were not strictly speaking like those of a normal high school student. She quickly calmed down from the situation, and there was a hint of pride in her tone of voice.
Nan Huan sighed in his heart and made an evaluation in his mind.
A high school girl who comes from a good family, thinks independently, is calm, has received a good education, and has seen the ups and downs of life.
They are not easy to fool and are not easy to reason with. They are the type of people that Nanhuan hates dealing with the most.
She glanced at Bei Xi.
How about you play the villain?
"All your classmates have disappeared," Bei Xi said at the right time. He also looked around the activity venue seriously and said something ambiguously.
The female student didn't understand what she meant at first, and followed Bei Xi's gaze to look around. The students who had just run out of the activity venue had disappeared long ago.
But there was no emotion in her eyes, neither the reluctance to be left behind, nor the uneasiness of not having anyone like her around.
Until Bei Xi added vaguely, "After 20 minutes, these elves will disappear. Maybe we can't restore them to human form within 20 minutes, but it is unclear whether you will still be regarded as a kind of person by your classmates after 20 minutes. Do you dare to bet?"
The female student's expressionless face suddenly froze, and a bottomless fear flashed across her face for a second. Although she tried her best to conceal it, the panic that flashed across her eyes could not be faked.
But it was obvious that she was not so easily convinced. Facing Bei Xi's speculation, she said stubbornly, "You are just freshmen and don't know anything. It's a bit too arrogant to try to pry words out of me with this little information, right?"
She looked at Bei Xi with a look of unwillingness to admit defeat and inquiry in her eyes, as if she wanted to take advantage of the conversation to analyze whether the other party really knew something.
"It's up to you whether you are arrogant or not," Bei Xi gave a half-hearted smile. She was in no hurry to ask further questions, but said slowly, "I don't have anything to lose anyway. It's just waiting for twenty minutes. Whether you will be suspected or not has nothing to do with me."
In fact, this was the speculation between Bei Xi and Nan Huan before.
After all, the system's task description clearly stated that the secret hidden in the private high school was discovered, and there were elves hidden among the normal students, and the number was not small.
Since it's a secret, that means it existed before they came.
With such a large number of copies and the settings of the copies, Nan Huan felt that it was impossible for normal students to not know about this.
The next part is easier to guess. The existence of two or more forces in a group means that they will stick together and take sides. Based on their different identities, humans and elves must belong to two different camps, and it is unlikely that they can live in peace.
Compared to the transaction of credits with Ding Xihui just now, this potential danger of being misunderstood as standing or becoming an elf is more useful to the female student in front of him.
After Bei Xi said this, it seemed as if she really didn't expect to ask anything more from the other party. Instead, she turned around with Nan Huan and gave Barbie some nonchalant instructions.
"Don't waste too much energy, just endure for twenty minutes. There's no punishment anyway. At most, there's no reward. It's not a loss."
Barbie was much smarter. She had pricked up her ears and had already heard what Bei Xi had just said. Although she was not sure whether Bei Xi's guess was correct, she still cooperated with the other party.
"Got it. You guys take a break first and then we'll change people in five minutes."
After saying that, he threw another punch. Several elves that came up to him drew not-so-beautiful arcs in the air, and finally fell to the ground with a bang.
The female student was young after all. Seeing that Bei Xi and Nan Huan seemed to be no longer interested in pestering her, a look of panic flashed across her face, while her eyes were always observing the surrounding environment.
She was just about to escape from the cordon behind the shed while the two men were not paying attention, but before she could take a step, she saw a girl with a whip in her hand, blocking her way.
Twelve had been told by Bei Xi to keep an eye on the people, so he could only block the road with a whip in his hand, looking like a bully.
Although he felt very guilty inside, he had to put on a fierce look on his face, and his face was so stretched that it was very uncomfortable.
"I have no grudge against you, why are you trying to hurt me like this? I don't want to be misunderstood..."
The female student was very smart. She knew she was no match for Twelve, so she didn't even try to escape. Instead, she changed her strategy and started complaining.
Nan Huan was a little soft-hearted. After all, she was not wrong. They really had no hatred against each other. If you look into it, you can only say that -
"There's nothing we can do about it. It's just your bad luck."
Bei Xi didn't have any psychological burden. She said lightly, as if she didn't care at all. "After all, if we can't enroll, it will be very difficult. We can only drag someone down with us."
The more she said this, the uglier the female student's face became.
Nan Huan saw that it was almost his turn, so he turned around and started playing the good cop. "If you help us now, you are helping yourself. Our cooperation is a win-win situation. You can leave here as soon as possible. If you need it, we can also testify for you, or after you enroll, we can always help you."
"You are a smart person. You must know that a wise man is a wise man. You also know how to judge the situation and weigh the interests, right?"
Nan Huan didn't think of her as just a high school student at all. In this environment, they had already gotten used to thinking about problems with adult mindsets, which was much more effective than coaxing each other.
"How can you tell whether what I said is true or false?"
The other party was still a little hesitant and uncertain. Although he knew that what Nan Huan said was true, he still didn't dare to let it go easily.
"It's your choice whether to tell it or not, and it's our choice whether to believe it or not."
Bei Xi had come around at some point and gave the other party a final shot of confidence, "In this situation, there is no point in you telling lies."
"I don't care whether you believe it or not, I really don't know how to turn them back into humans."
She did not hesitate, but the first sentence she said stunned everyone present. "There have been rumors about elves infiltrating the students. I have seen it a few times, but those transformed elves have never attacked us, not like now."
As she spoke, she glanced at the elves that were still attacking outside, very puzzled. "They are usually very gentle. Although they can cause panic sometimes due to their size, I have never seen them hurt anyone."
After listening to her description, Twelve looked outside at the elves who were killing each other in a rage, and felt that your elves and my elves seemed to be different.
"If that's the case, why are you still worried about being mistaken for an elf?"
Nan Huan didn't think that the other party was lying, but when he put the matter before and after together, he found that what she said seemed to be paradoxical and he was very puzzled.
"Those who are not of my race must have different hearts."
The girl's eyes swept across the elves, as if she was looking for something. After a moment, she reluctantly withdrew her gaze and gave a reason in a low voice.
"I can't change the general environment's views by myself. I can't leave this school. I have to adapt. The school rules have requirements. I can't say anything more."
Nan Huan understood what she wanted to say from her few words, "I see. The school has condoned the existence of elves to some extent, and even fueled the flames."
Nan Huan and Bei Xi looked at each other and saw the understanding in each other's eyes.
"Twelve, get out of the way and let her go. She really doesn't understand."
Nan Huan quickly confirmed that they seemed to have gone in the wrong direction at the beginning, especially when she finally remembered why the students looked surprised but not panicked after the elves transformed.
It turned out that they had already confirmed that the elves in front of them would not harm them.
The reason of the system side quest cannot be ruled out, so the elves they saw were different from those seen by normal students, but there may be other reasons. However, Nan Huan can be sure that the students are definitely unaware of the method to turn the elves into humans again.
There was a flash of surprise in the female student's eyes. She didn't know whether it was because Nan Huan had made an extremely correct guess based on her few words, or because she didn't expect the other party to be so frank.
The twelve orders were strictly enforced. Before the female student left, she thought for a moment and added, "I've always felt that their identities were a little strange."
These words seemed to imply some deeper meaning, but Nan Huan was unable to guess it for a moment.
The clues here are gone, so there must be something they have overlooked. Nan Huan turned his gaze to the man wearing glasses not far away.
