Chapter 179 Mizuki Private High School (Fifty-one)
Maybe because this was Chaka's illusion, her power was amplified by Morpheus's side, or maybe the other party just created this false illusion to make Chaka mistakenly believe that it was her own power.
The arrow was shot from a distance. After Bei Xi complained in a way that seemed real and fake, he had already found where Chaka was.
Before Nan Huan could react, they had already hugged the other party and moved towards the fierce fighting. They had to stop Chaka as soon as possible and make the other party wake up.
Long arrows came like rain, and after the first arrow cut through the sky, they attacked like a tiger released from its cage.
The tentacles and students on the battlefield were in a noisy mess, with flames burning wantonly.
The closer Bei Xi got to Chaka, the more strange feeling he suddenly arose in his heart. It was an intuition when facing great danger and the unknown.
Suddenly, as if she had sensed something, she stopped running and jumping and took a few steps back.
Almost at the same time, a long arrow brushed against the tip of Bei Xi's shoe and pierced into the mud in front of the two of them.
The flame at the tail of the arrow stretched out for dozens of meters, forming an encirclement around the two people, scaring the tentacles that had been eyeing them covetously back a lot.
Then, Nan Huan accidentally realized whether the arrow was an accidental injury or a deliberate target of the opponent.
She discovered that Chaka's arrows had already shot into the bodies of those students, no matter whether they were normal students or students whose bodies had been invaded by monsters, no one was spared.
This was a massacre against everyone except Chaka.
Nan Huan and Bei Xi both understood in an instant.
But there was no extra time left for the two of them, because the ground began to shake again, but this time, the reaction was obviously bigger than before.
After a while, everything in all directions was reflected in Nanhuan's tea-colored pupils. Both trees and tall buildings began to collapse towards the center with them as the center.
Those students played the role of atmosphere creators very well. When the monsters wanted their bodies, they screamed.
Chaka wanted their lives and they continued to scream.
Suddenly, the fire surrounding him became more intense.
Chaka was obviously upset that Beixi was able to dodge his arrow, so he wanted to find another way to deal with the two of them.
"Where is she?"
Nan Huan doesn't have as good eyesight as Bei Xi, especially after the control panel was restricted, she turned back into the delicate and soft Miss Nan, also known as "Bei Xi's burden".
In addition, due to the thick smoke, she couldn't see where Chaka was at all, and she didn't understand how she could shoot so many arrows in such a short time.
Except for the arrow that Bei Xi dodged, the rest of the arrows all hit the target.
The flames had grown to a height of a person, further blocking Nan Huan's vision.
But Beixi's gaze always went beyond the line of fire and looked at Chaka on a tall building in the distance.
In fact, for ordinary people, this distance is too far to see the other person's figure clearly, but Bei Xi can see Chaka's movements, even the other person's calm face and bottomless eyes.
"On that tall building," Bei Xi answered simply, without any intention of pointing Nan Huan in a direction. "This is her fantasy world, and she is the master of everything."
"Can I get closer to her?"
Nan Huan didn't doubt Bei Xi's ability, but she had to bring him along, which would be a lot of burden.
"It's no use just hiding. I tried to communicate with those students just now, and you saw that they didn't respond at all."
Nan Huan understood what Bei Xi was hesitating about, and stretched out his hands to wrap around his neck more tightly. "In Chaka's virtual space, except for the two of us, the rest are her imagination. This is not to decrypt it for us, but to kill us."
"If we can't get close to her, we can't wake her up. We all have to die here. And don't even think about finding a safe place to leave me. Right now, your arms are the safest place."
When she said the last sentence, her tone was already a little anxious, as if she was really worried that the other party had this idea, "Besides, she has always been very caring towards me..."
"Okay, if you say one more word, I'm going to knock you out for real. Find a safe place to hide."
Bei Xi was very reluctant to hear Chaka's name from Nan Huan's mouth, and even more reluctant to hear Nan Huan confirm that she could feel that Chaka felt differently about her, so her tone was much more serious than usual.
Nan Huan obeyed her threat and immediately covered her mouth, blinking her round and bright eyes and looking at her for a long time. As if she understood what the other party was uncomfortable with, she freed one hand, hooked Bei Xi's little finger, and acted coquettishly with the other party with a flattering expression.
"Hold on tight, I'll settle the score with you when we get out."
Although Bei Xi's mood changed because of Nan Huan's actions, he didn't want to let her go so easily, so he just warned her fiercely.
Without waiting for Nan Huan to reply, he wrapped the man with his clothes, took a few steps back, and jumped out of the fire.
The ground was still shaking, everything underfoot was unstable, and the surrounding buildings and trees were still collapsing.
If this was a large-scale escape game, Nan Huan felt that he had almost seen the best promotional scene, with Bei Xi holding him and running in the collapsing school towards the tallest building.
Bei Xi finally picked up a handy tool in the limited environment - a clothesline with the front end deformed by being hit.
It was about the same length as her iron axe, and although the quality was far inferior, it had a sharp front end after being deformed, so it wouldn't be a problem for it to hurt people.
After all, Bei Xi had used it to pierce several tentacles and drove away many stumbling blocks on their path.
A thin layer of sweat ran from Beixi's forehead to his temples, and was finally wiped clean by Nanhuan who grabbed his sleeve.
She should be worried, but when Bei Xi held her in his arms, she felt inexplicably safe.
The whistling wind in his ears, the lingering fire, the aggressive attack, and the tentacles passing by seemed to have all been thrown behind Nanhuan's ears.
All that could be heard was Bei Xi's slight breathing and the steady, rhythmic heartbeat.
As they got closer to the building, Chaka's arrows became more and more frequent.
Bei Xi rarely put away the indifference on his face and instead looked very serious.
Even Chaka's arrows made her take a step back occasionally.
Because the opponent had actually used the arrows that he was familiar with to force him to this extent, and because Chaka had already gained so much attention in front of Nanhuan, these two thoughts tortured him to the point where he could no longer bear it.
When Bei Xi noticed that Chaka was shooting another arrow at him, he took the time to press Nan Huan's head, let her lean on his shoulder, and then stood there without moving.
Just when the arrow was only a few centimeters away from hitting him, he quickly turned sideways, hugged Nan Huan, and grabbed the flaming arrow in mid-air from the side.
Bei Xi was dragged forward for a long distance by inertia before he found his balance. Then he turned around and threw the arrow towards the roof.
The arrow flew out again, its speed and power were no less than the one shot by Chaka.
She never relies on the control panel and can control the force, speed and direction of the arrow even without a bow.
Although Nan Huan leaned on Bei Xi's shoulder as she wished, he did not close his eyes.
Therefore, she clearly observed from the first perspective how Bei Xi maintained a steady heartbeat when the arrow was shot at him, how he controlled his body to compete with the arrow in speed, and how he shot the arrow back.
Although Nan Huan already had a certain understanding of Bei Xi's strength.
But it was not until this moment that she realized that the other party's ability or potential was far beyond her imagination.
The control panel, or the personal skills given to them by the system, is a help to other players, but to Bei Xi, it may be a constraint.
Because the growth of personal skills is limited, but Beixi's abilities have unlimited possibilities.
Of course, Nanhuan was not the only one who was surprised at the scene, but also Chaka on the high-rise building.
She had obviously shown her doubts when Bei Xi dodged her first arrow, but she was not further surprised until she watched with her own eyes how the other party threw back the arrow she had shot.
The force and speed were no different from those shot by himself. Chaka dodged his own arrow by turning sideways. The wall behind him immediately cracked because of the shot, and flames began to spread.
She was dazed for a second, not knowing whether it was because of the shock brought by the arrow, or because of the arrow that made her slightly sober for a moment. She couldn't remember why she was here, but soon her heart was filled with resentment again.
All of this is not innocent. It is because of them that I can no longer find her. I want revenge and destruction.
Although it was only a short second, it was enough for Bei Xi.
She hugged Nanhuan and jumped downstairs, into Chaka's blind spot.
As soon as she lifted her hands, Nan Huan lay on her back and hugged her neck cooperatively.
Bei Xi easily jumped up from the tilted building by stepping on the protruding windowsill.
It was a building with more than ten floors, but it only took a few seconds for Bei Xi to appear on the top of the building.
Chaka also sensed something and raised his arrow, pointing it in the direction where the two people appeared.
With a swish, the arrow was shot out.
Bei Xi stepped on the railing outside the rooftop, moved a few steps to the side, dodged the arrow, and then immediately ran quickly in the direction of Chaka, still holding the clothesline in his hand.
At short distances, arrow attacks no longer have any advantage.
It was obvious that Chaka understood this principle, so when Beixi swung the clothesline over, Chaka already had a dagger in his hand and blocked it in front of his chest.
The tip of the clothesline was blocked by the dagger. Chaka's hair was blown up by the attack and he took several steps back uncontrollably.
"Calm down."
Seeing this, Nan Huan didn't know who he was advising.
She always felt that Bei Xi's stab was somewhat motivated by personal grudges, and he did not leave any backup plan.
After all, they are now tied to the same rope and have to find a way out of here.
But Chaka was obviously not a weakling like her. She blocked Beixi's attack, and the surging air lifted her hair.
Nan Huan finally found an opportunity to speak, "Chaka, this is not the real school, it's your illusion. We are partners and we have to get out of here together. Stop it first."
No matter what, Nan Huan didn't want to see the two continue fighting. Although she didn't know how to make the other party wake up as soon as possible, she didn't say anything more and directly explained the current situation.
But it is obvious that from Chaka's perspective, this is just the argument of the person in front of him.
only--
Her movements paused because she finally realized that the person who dodged her attack was carrying another person behind him.
As an archer, it was impossible for her to ignore the existence of this person, but why didn't she notice that there were actually two people since just now?
besides--
Why couldn't the person who was speaking see her face clearly? She was just a blurry shadow in front of him.
"Who are you?"
Chaka did not retract his dagger, but still looked vigilantly in the direction of the two men, especially Nanhuan who was leaning on his shoulder.
"We are freshmen of Shuimu Private High School." This question was very complicated to explain, but Nan Huan, who obviously could not contribute much in terms of combat power, had already figured out how to explain this matter from the other party's standpoint and perspective before approaching Chaka. "The school organized a welcome party, and you, as a representative of the old classmates, have to participate in a competition with us..."
Apart from the fact that they were players and this was a dungeon, which were real issues involving the system, Nan Huan recounted in full everything that had happened since they entered the forest.
Including the deal she made with Chaka, and the fact that the other party had a flag on him.
"So your name is Nan'an?"
After listening to Nan Huan's words, Chaka was silent for a while, not knowing what he was thinking. Then he suddenly blurted out the topic that interested him the most.
Because of Beixi's insistence, Nanhuan was still blocked behind him and could only tilt his head to observe Chaka's reaction.
She had made all sorts of assumptions, all sorts of doubts and questions that Chaka might raise based on what she said.
But she never expected that the first question the other party asked would be about her name.
This was her name at school, so Nan Huan had no choice but to nod. He glanced at Bei Xi's unhappy expression and did not make any further assumptions.
"Since I also agreed to give you the flag, why didn't you take it? Why did you insist on entering this illusion just for a three-dimensional slice that you don't know if it will be useful? Do you want me to believe that someone would be so stupid?"
Nan Huan pursed his lips, feeling that Chaka had become mean after being affected.
But she still spoke very seriously, "I am telling the truth. Otherwise, I can make up a more reasonable reason to convince you, and I won't tell you such an incredible fact. It's just that we are partners, you have the right to know, and I don't want to lie."
As he spoke, he pressed down Bei Xi's restless hand.
I wanted to just go for it, maybe after beating her up she would wake up.
Wait a little longer, now that she is willing to communicate, maybe it can work. Having a fight is just what Morpheus and his gang want, and it will just be a show for people to watch.
Nan Huan and Bei Xi exchanged their opinions with just a glance.
Finally, with a stern warning look from Nan Huan, Bei Xi reluctantly retracted the clothesline.
Chaka watched the two of them exchanging glances right under her nose. To be precise, she could only see Bei Wanchao's expression, and Nan'an was just a vague shadow, but she could feel that the two were communicating in this way.
She raised her lips and didn't dwell on the previous question. "Then why do you think my malice is not only directed at monsters, but also at so many students?"
Chaka's heart was restless, as if there was a voice urging her to take action.
The two people in front of you are just two students. They are also part of the culprits. Now they are just pitiful and told these lies in front of you just to escape punishment.
Aren't you going to avenge her? What are you waiting for?
The voice in his heart grew louder and louder. Every time Chaka clenched the dagger, when he looked up and saw the blurry shadow, his heart would inexplicably become quiet for a moment.
This question was beyond Nan Huan's expectations, and she could tell that Chaka asked the question in a joking and almost sarcastic tone.
It was obvious that the other party did not really want to discuss this issue with Nan Huan because she was confused, but for some reason, she felt that it was a bit ridiculous, so she suddenly wanted to hear Nan Huan's opinion.
"To be honest, you are also very powerful outside the illusion. I don't see how the monster would dare to do anything to you, but Ah Liu said before that this abyss illusion will magnify the malice and resentment in each person's heart according to their situation. Since the monster can't hurt you, it must have hurt someone important to you. As for the students, whether they stood by and watched or became accomplices, this is one of the reasons for your resentment."
This question is not difficult to guess, and based on Nan Huan's limited understanding of Chaka outside the illusion, the other party's level is far above those monsters, and they cannot hurt her.
So someone must have been hurt, and it must be a very important person. Nan Huan had some guesses in her mind, but she didn't say it out loud immediately.
"But don't forget that your malice and resentment are magnified here. They are not your real feelings. Don't let these feelings dominate your thoughts."
Nanhuan didn't know how to awaken the real Chaka.
But since this illusion would magnify Chaka's malice, she would let the other party clearly realize that it was emotions that were controlling him, which should be somewhat helpful.
Chaka had already forgotten how many times she had been shocked today. She had originally said those words just to mock Nan'an, mocking him for not knowing anything and just standing there to persuade her.
But the fact proved that the other party did not not understand, but understood it very well, and even understood it clearly, so that I could not refute it.
She wanted to see the other person's face, but all she could see was an unclear shadow.
Bei Xi, who was standing aside, finally lost all his patience when Chaka looked at Nanhuan again.
He tapped the ground with the clothesline impatiently and looked at Chaka with a very unfriendly face, "I have no opinion on who you want to kill, but if you really want to deal with those who are making things difficult for you, just go and face the real people instead of arguing with a few phantoms here. It's fun to live in your own fantasy, right?"
These words were said mercilessly, even with a hint of contempt.
However, Nan Huan did not stop Bei Xi because she knew that Bei Xi said that on purpose.
Facts have proved that when it comes to persuading people, one cannot be rational and methodical all the time. One needs to use a softening attitude and go along with what the other person says, while also being a little tough from time to time. This is called a combination of hard and soft tactics.
Chaka had not yet recovered from Nan'an's words, but after Beixi's lecture, he seemed to suddenly understand something.
The empty feeling that appeared after seeing Nan'an before appeared again.
Chaka felt as if he was not far from the truth. He could reach it by taking two steps forward or stretching out his hand.
At the same time, Nan Huan and Bei Xi noticed that the lively movement below seemed to stop suddenly. The waving tentacles, the wailing students, the collapsing and shaking buildings, and the raging fire all disappeared without a trace because of Chaka's sudden thought.
The scene in front of me suddenly flickered twice, like a TV with poor contact.
At the edge of his sight, Nanhuan seemed to see a familiar forest.
However, after a few seconds, this change seemed to be stuck on the screen and there was no movement.
The moment Nan Huan turned her head, Bei Xi had already blocked her behind him and looked cautiously at the air behind Chaka.
Suddenly, a huge black and purple eye appeared in mid-air, inducing Chaka to turn around.
Bei Xi reacted quickly. This time, she did not hug Nan Huan. Instead, she picked up the clothesline, flew into the air, and stabbed towards his eyes.
Chaka could feel a force controlling her to turn around. The moment she looked into the dark purple eyes, the emptiness in her heart was filled with resentment again. Her eyes, which had recovered a little, were once again surrounded by dark purple.
Kill her and she will be the culprit.
Have you forgotten? You want revenge.
Your enemy is right in front of you, what are you waiting for? Do you want to disappoint the people you care about again?
You know, this is what she wants to see.
The voice appeared again, and Chaka seemed to have received an order.
She raised her hand without feeling anything, and an arrow pierced the air and shot out.
Then she saw an unclear shadow quickly jump out and stand in front of Bei Wanchao.
