Chapter 198 Mizuki Private High School (70)
Although Nan Huan said this sincerely, it was impossible for Yan Qi to dispel his doubts just because of this sentence.
Moreover, because he knew exactly why he had betrayed them, he would not believe their so-called surrender, because it really did not make sense.
Therefore, Yanqi did not retract his tentacles, and looked at Nanhuan with an even more fierce expression.
Nan Huan knew that she didn't believe it, so he simply moved aside and let President Barbie, who was blocking the way behind him, to let the other party see, "If it's fake, then why do we have to act like this?"
"You know, she had already become like this before you found us, but no student in the school had any problems. You have to admit that, right?"
Nan Huan realized that Yanqi didn't attack them at the beginning because she saw that President Barbie was obviously trapped, so he had to keep trying to convince Yanqi to believe them.
No bad guy would admit that he is a bad guy. Although they are players, even if they are given this identity, no one wants to harm ordinary students in the mission. Moreover, their mission goal is just to find Yanqi's favorite thing. Even if all this is fake, it is not worth it to argue with a few virtual numbers.
But from an outsider's perspective, this explanation does not make sense.
The other players, including Twelve, always felt that what the eldest lady said was just quibbling, which made them stand there in a state of confusion. They were worried that they might transform at any time, but they couldn't take any action. It was so frustrating.
Of course, these people did not include Beixi and Chaka. The two of them stood on the far right of the team. After appearing in Yanqi and naturally saying that there were only eight people present, Beixi winked at Chaka.
So while Nan Huan was talking, Chaka had obviously changed his position several times. However, Bei Xi had observed Yanqi's reaction and knew that the other party's eyes only flickered to other people with discretion, and then stayed on him longer when he sensed that he had a higher martial arts value, as if he didn't see Chaka.
The other party did not lie. In his eyes, there were only eight people.
Perhaps this is why Chaka has not felt any changes in her body, or why the system chose her to participate in the mission.
After observing all this, Beixi and Chaka's eyes met briefly. Beixi understood that Chaka wanted to make sure that the other party was not acting and that he wanted to give it one last try under the actual circumstances. He tilted his head slightly, and no one noticed except Chaka.
"So what do you guys want to do?"
Yanqi didn't have that much patience. The tentacle monster behind the other party was indeed under control, and the students in the school were not hurt, so she was even more confused about the purpose of them being sent here as exchange students.
If it was that person, how could he let the students go? Or maybe that person knew something and sent them here to deal with not the students, but...
Thinking of this, the murderous intent in her eyes seemed to no longer be hidden. According to her mood, the tentacles had already flown in front of Nan Huan with bared fangs and claws, as if they were going to control this self-talking person within range in the next second and make her tell the truth.
However, Bei Xi was a little faster than her. She hooked Nan Huan's waist, held him in her arms, and stepped back a long way. "Everyone, step back."
Following her order, although the players had no idea what the president wanted to do, they all obeyed her orders and retreated directly in front of President Barbie.
There was a flash of fire in front, and Chaka was standing in the position where Nanhuan was just now, with the arrow in his hand already shot out.
Everyone shut their mouths tacitly, but the surprise in their eyes could not be hidden.
But Yanqi, who was not far ahead, although his tentacles missed, did not feel the oncoming fire at all. In fact, because of his improved skills just now, his eyes were fixed on this opponent who would definitely be very difficult to deal with once a fight started.
But she might also be a little puzzled that the other party retreated so far but did not choose to attack.
On the other side, Nan Huan and other players watched as Chaka's arrow with a flaming tail shot straight towards Yanqi's face, but disappeared abruptly just a few centimeters away from the opponent.
It was as if there was a layer of water ripples in front of Yanqi, the arrow was absorbed into it, and the burning flame was extinguished.
The wind whistling across the playground is very much in the hearts of today’s players.
It was like something was rushing past, but upon closer inspection it seemed like there was nothing.
"Now I can be sure that in her eyes, she really can't see me or hear me speak, so my arrows can't hit her at all."
Of course Chaka was also surprised, after all, she had never encountered such a thing before.
Nan Huan's so-called system made her realize that her own abilities seemed very weak. Her archery skills, which she was so proud of, were swallowed up so easily.
Before Nanhuan could make up her mind, she decided to make up a reason to make Yanqi believe her temporarily, resolve the crisis at hand, and then find a way to pry more clues about strawberry milk from Yanqi.
Taking this opportunity, they asked Yanqi about the real purpose of their coming to this school and the person behind the scenes, but something unexpected happened at this moment.
"I feel something is wrong with my body, it seems..."
Uriel suddenly took a few steps back, and his body hit the soft air cushion that trapped President Barbie. "Quick, do it, tie her up..."
Before he finished the previous sentence, Uriel's voice suddenly rose, as if he felt something, and a painful expression appeared on his face.
Fortunately, we had already discussed it, so this emergency response was very successful.
Before Uriel finished his words, his body had already begun to change. On the other side, Bei Xi was the first to react. When Uriel called her for the first time, she had already pulled out the black liquid that Uriel had just taken from his right hand and given to the president for safekeeping, and used it to restrain the opponent's tentacles and limit her attack.
The Twelve and Six Gods followed closely behind, taking out the corresponding props from the control panel to prevent Uriel from being injured by the attack after his transformation.
However, this brief chaos did not completely solve the problem, because the moment Twelve, who had just finished his busy work, walked back, he felt as if the blood in his body suddenly boiled.
She squatted down suddenly, and the sobs in her mouth seemed to be suppressed with great effort.
Liushen wanted to go forward to help him, but before he could get close, Twelve pushed him away with his last bit of willpower, "President..."
She only uttered two words before she was tied up by Bei Xi.
Next, as if they had anticipated it, everyone stopped standing so close to each other, to make it easier for the leader to take action.
Mocha Meng, Liu Shen, and the professor began to transform one after another. The intervals in between became shorter and shorter, and the time they were awake became less and less. By the time it was the professor's turn, she couldn't even speak anymore, so Bei Xi tied her up together.
The corner of the playground that originally seemed spacious now became a little narrow because of the sudden appearance of so many tentacle monsters.
"Why don't you tie it up for me in advance?"
Chaka and Beixi were too busy to handle it all. Nanhuan was already out of breath at this time. She didn't hold Beixi's hand. She looked at the pile of tentacle monsters with bared fangs and claws in the corner, with an indescribable expression on her face.
She was a little worried that if she transformed herself later, she might not be able to help, but at least she wouldn't cause more trouble.
“Do you feel anything now?”
Bei Xi still took her hand, held her in his arms, and confirmed her feelings.
Nan Huan felt his body carefully, and there seemed to be no changes, so he shook his head.
"Then why should I tie you up?" Bei Xi touched her head, "Just stay still. If there's anything wrong, call me and I'll take care of it. It's okay."
Bei Xi coaxed him softly, she could see that Nan Huan was a little worried.
"I will definitely find the strawberry milk, don't worry."
Although Chaka didn't know what to say, she didn't want to make Nan Huan feel uneasy, so she had to promise that even if she was the only one left, she would definitely help them complete the task, and signaled Nan Huan not to worry.
After watching the show for a long time, Yanqi became increasingly confused and even found himself being ignored. He could no longer hold back and asked, "What on earth are you doing?"
They said they were here to carry out a mission, but they tied up their transformed companions.
But if they were not here to carry out the mission, why would they obey that person's arrangements and come here as exchange students?
Now is not the time to be affectionate, Nan Huan crawled out of Bei Xi's arms but did not let go of her hand. Since he has not transformed yet, he might as well use this last chance to ask Bei Xi and the others for some information.
"I just said that we really don't want to hurt the students. Now you should believe me, right? There's no need for us to make such a big scene, right?"
Nan Huan tried to make his tone sound more sincere, "You also know that we can't disobey orders, so we can only come here and try to avoid disasters."
She didn't know why Yanqi was sent here, so she spoke vaguely to avoid arousing Yanqi's suspicion.
Seeing Yanqi's tentacles retract a little, she knew that the other party must believe what she said, so she asked tentatively, "But I am still very curious, why did you suddenly betray..."
Boom boom.
The sound of something huge falling to the ground interrupted Nan Huan's words.
At the same time, Yanqi seemed to have sensed something and looked in a certain direction with sudden inspiration.
I saw a dilapidated building in the northwest corner of the school, collapsed crookedly, and the shadows of several tentacles seemed to flash in the air.
"How dare you play tricks on me?"
Yanqi's tone was filled with anger. She really wanted to beat the two cunning monsters in front of her to death, but she couldn't. There seemed to be something important in that building. After she saw the general direction, she no longer cared about Nanhuan and Beixi. She retracted her tentacles and quickly chased after that place.
Nanhuan, Beixi and Chaka were left staring at each other in wide eyes.
"We didn't do anything, and Yanqi didn't do anything either, so whose tentacles did we just see?"
Fortunately, Nan Huan found a storage device in the mall that could temporarily store the players' transformed monsters and carry them with them, so they didn't stay on the playground for too long.
Chaka followed the dust and smoke in the air to identify the direction in which Yanqi disappeared, and asked curiously.
"Looking at Yanqi's reaction just now, she probably thought we were trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain," Nan Huan thought for a moment, she understood the meaning of Yanqi's look just now, "but there should be only a few of us as exchange students, unless from the very beginning, the mastermind behind the scenes sent more than just us for some reason."
"Whether this is a reflection of the past or an emanation from the past, it doesn't matter whether the exchange student incident actually happened or not. What matters is that in this instance, Shuimu High School has become Shuimu Private High School, and the students there have really changed."
Bei Xi continued Nan Huan's words, "So this is a fact that is destined, and no one can change it. Our existence will not have any impact on the past. Perhaps after that person discovered Yanqi's rebellion, he felt that monsters were not trustworthy, so he decided to use us to attract Yanqi's attention and let other monsters take action."
"Compared to this, I am more concerned about what is there and why Yanqi is so anxious. Her expression just now does not look like she is worried about ordinary students. After all, she is not 100% sure whether we are a threat. Even if she believes that the group of people are with us and we are trying to make a feint to the east and attack in the west, there is no reason for her to abandon us in the playground and disappear. After all, we may directly hurt students."
As they were talking, they had already landed at the northwest corner of the school.
The building looked a bit old, like a teaching building that was no longer in use. It was not very tall, and there were no teachers or students there when the incident happened, so the collapse seemed very serious, but fortunately it did not seem to have caused any casualties.
Yes, it seems.
Because Nanhuan saw from a distance that Yanqi seemed to be digging something laboriously in a pile of ruins, with a very embarrassed look on her face. At this moment, she seemed to have forgotten to use her tentacles because of excessive panic.
At this time, several tentacles appeared in the air, trying to sneak attack the other party when Yanqi was not paying attention.
They were all blocked by Beixi and Chaka one by one. Chaka's arrows were effective against everyone except Yanqi.
However, these tentacles are not like the fire-fearing suction cups in the dormitory in the copy. These tentacles are much stronger. The half tentacles blown off by the air arrows can quickly return to their original appearance.
The fire in Chaka, which was difficult to extinguish, was also extinguished by the mucus spit out by the other party.
In addition, the number of tentacles around seemed to be increasing. They all wanted to attack Yanqi, or rather, wanted to attack what Yanqi was looking for.
"What are you looking for? What's here?"
Nan Huan didn't care about that and squatted down to ask, hoping to sober up the irrational Yanqi. Their current situation was not very good.
But Yanqi ignored the other party. Instead, he kept muttering to himself, as if he was praying or confessing.
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have left, I shouldn't have left..."
Nan Huan didn't know what she was looking for, but she was sure that the thing must be extremely important to the other party. She wanted to ask the other party some information about strawberry milk, but the other party couldn't hear her at all.
Nan Huan had no choice but to squat beside her and help her pick up the gravel on the ground. At first she thought Nan Huan was looking for something small, but then she found out that it was not the case.
Yanqi is very familiar with this building. The place she is looking for is limited to an area, and what she is looking for should be quite large, because within one meter, Yanqi only digs fifty centimeters. After confirming that there is only land under the ruins, she will move to another place.
Nan Huan had no choice but to imitate her and help her look for it, until she lifted a piece of wood and accidentally touched a cold hand.
She had restrained herself and didn't scream out loud, but the hand that was lifting the wooden board loosened uncontrollably. Just when the board was about to fall, Yanqi caught it steadily and lifted it up.
A person appeared under the wooden board.
Although the surroundings had collapsed beyond recognition and the person was buried under the formwork, she did not look bad. Her face was even fair and a little rosy, so Nan Huan was even more frightened after seeing her face clearly.
Bei Xi and Cha Ka here cooperated very well. Although the number of tentacles was still increasing, the two of them could basically protect each other's backs from attacks, and those tentacles could not get close to them for a while, so they had no impact on Yan Qi or them for the time being.
The sounds of the two arrows came one after another, interweaving into a wonderful sound in the air.
But it seemed that at the moment when Nanhuan and Yanqi on the ground found the body, Chaka seemed to feel something, looked back at the two of them, and then she felt her body began to change.
It wasn't the kind of change that would transform a monster, but her entire body was becoming transparent at a strange speed.
"Sir, something is wrong with me, I am disappearing..."
Her tone did not seem anxious, so it took Bei Xi a few seconds to understand what she said. Then, after shooting several air arrows, she turned around suddenly.
Just in time to catch it, Chaka raised her hand, but the arrow could no longer be shot out, and the next second her figure disappeared in mid-air.
At this time, Nan Huan on the ground finally came back to his senses from some great shock. He turned his head to look at the two people in the air, or to be more precise, at Chaka in the air. He just caught a glimpse of the other person disappearing.
The originally invincible attack range of the two became chaotic because of the sudden disappearance of one person. Bei Xi was also shocked by what he saw and had no time to defend himself.
This news was great news for those immortal tentacle monsters. They immediately rushed towards the two people on the ground like carp that smelled fish food in the pond.
Bei Xi didn't have time to think so much, so he had to rush to Nan Huan's side first, wanting to protect him first.
Then, with a casual glance, she saw a person lying at the feet of Yanqi and Nanhuan. The person looked like a corpse, but not quite like a corpse. The person's face was exactly the same as the disappeared Chaka.
