Chapter 199 Mizuki Private High School (Seventy-one)
If Bei Xi had not already understood the significance of this mission from the system, he would have thought that he had entered a horror dungeon this time.
After all, there is nothing worse than watching someone's message disappear with your own eyes, and the next second, she appears in front of you again in this form.
For a moment, even the tentacle monsters in the air looked a little silly.
Compared to the shock of Nanhuan and Beixi, Yanqi's expression seemed to be one of recovery. She even took out a handkerchief from somewhere and wiped the dirt off Chaka's face.
Then the next second, Beixi used his excellent eyesight to see Chaka's eyelashes move, and under the gaze of Yanqi, Nanhuan and Beixi, he opened his eyes.
Bei Xi and Nan Huan really wanted to step forward to recognize each other and ask in detail what was going on, but the tentacle monster did not give them this opportunity.
The moment Chaka opened his eyes, the attack power of those tentacle monsters increased again.
Bei Xi held Nan Huan and kept dodging, shooting a few arrows from time to time. Only now did she realize that the tentacle monster's attacks were all aimed at Chaka.
Seeing Chaka waking up, Yanqi was of course surprised. At the same time, she also felt the murderous aura around her, and the tentacles behind her had already been exposed to fight.
But she herself did not move. She maintained the same posture as before, half-kneeling on the ground, and gently helped Chaka up. "Are you awake? It's a bit noisy around here, isn't it? Don't worry, it won't be noisy in a while."
Her voice was very soft and her tone was very gentle. If Nan Huan was present, he would definitely think that Yan Qi was a demon in disguise, because she looked even worse than when he first met Nan Huan in the morning. And it was obvious that she was not pretending to look like this, but only revealed her appearance when facing Chaka.
Chaka really didn't react for a while. Her mind was groggy, and it seemed that something from the past was slowly awakening, but the speed was extremely slow. Perhaps it was the tentacle attack in mid-air that made her remember briefly. Not long ago, she watched her body disappear with her own eyes, but now it was normal again.
She ignored Yanqi's words and lowered her head to check her body. She was wearing a school uniform, which was different from before. Yanqi could see her, and the tone of his voice clearly showed that he was very familiar with her.
But in Chaka's own memory, he had no impression of Yanqi at all.
"Who are you?"
It was as if her long-held suspicion that she was related to Yanqi had finally been confirmed, so much so that Chaka temporarily ignored their task and, as her own true self, asked a heartfelt question.
But as soon as he said this, Chaka realized something was wrong.
The tone of Yanqi's voice just now clearly showed that he knew her, and their relationship did not seem distant. At this moment, she looked around and realized that she was lying on the ruins.
Her mind worked quickly, and in a flash she realized that what Yanqi was looking for just now was not something, but herself.
Although she still knew why she had changed from the appearance that Yanqi couldn't see just now to her current appearance, based on the possible relationship between the two, her question did have the suspicion of exposing herself.
She herself did not care, as some things could be investigated slowly after the mission was completed, but she understood how important this mission was to Nanhuan, so she was thinking about whether there was any room for remedy in the current situation.
However, although a hint of disappointment flashed across Yanqi's face, he did not seem shocked or surprised by Yanqi's reaction. He just lowered his eyes and said, "He's just an ordinary classmate."
She lowered her voice, and it was unclear whether she was afraid that the other party would hear her or just to deceive herself.
Chaka felt strange. Judging from the situation, it did not seem like an ordinary classmate relationship. When she wanted to continue asking, Yanqi hugged her without any warning.
It was a very light hug, a very polite hug, ready to go. Before Chaka could react, he only caught a few words the other person said in his ear.
"Don't worry, I will let you stay in this school and wait for the person you want to wait for."
After saying this, Yanqi turned around to deal with the tentacle monsters, and she herself finally changed into the appearance of tentacles.
It is obvious that Yanqi herself is the most powerful existence, both in terms of appearance and the strength of her tentacles. Even after she transformed into the form of tentacles, the monsters that had been attacking continuously actually stopped for a moment, as if they were afraid and dared not move forward.
Those immortal bodies became fragile because of Yanqi's appearance and were torn to pieces by the other party with a single grit of teeth.
Chaka was confused here, but the situation on Beixi's side was not very good. There were more and more tentacle monsters around, and the air was dark.
Seeing that the tentacle monster brushed past Nan Huan's arm several times, Chaka couldn't help it. She subconsciously stretched out her hand to shoot an arrow, but when she raised her hand, she found that her hands were empty.
Her abilities seemed to be limited by some force, some force within her own body.
She could feel it, but couldn't describe it accurately, as if the archery power was not the power she should possess in this time zone.
Yanqi was not far away from Chaka. She was like a giant beast. In order to prevent her prey from being coveted, she had to teach other monsters a lesson, but she always stayed around Chaka to protect him from being harmed by monsters.
Beixi saw Yanqi's fighting power and saw that Chaka had woken up, so she hurriedly took Nanhuan to her side.
This process was very slow and Bei Xi had several injuries on his body.
The power of the air arrows could not be exerted because of the increasing number of monsters. Even if the tentacles were blown off, they would grow back immediately.
Nan Huan could only keep taking out medicine from the control panel to heal Bei Xi.
Just when Nan Huan wanted to call out the werewolf and A Liu from his control panel to help, Bei Xi held his hand.
"You know this is the general trend and it cannot be changed. Why let them come out and get hurt? Our mission is to find Yanqi's favorite thing."
As they were talking, Chaka had already slipped up to the two of them while Yanqi wasn't paying attention. She asked Nanhuan to find her a handy weapon in the mall.
"I can't shoot arrows now, and Yanqi is only willing to admit that we are just classmates. But she is not surprised that I don't remember her. It seems that my amnesia is not without reason."
These words contained a huge amount of information. Nan Huan finally understood them after Bei Xi shot two more arrows.
"She said I was in this school because I was waiting for someone I wanted to wait for."
Chaka hesitated for a moment and finally said this, and while speaking she glanced at Nanhuan.
Nan Huan was obviously unaware of this situation, but she seemed to have sensed something. However, now was not the time to talk about this. She just vaguely felt that Yan Qi's words seemed to have some deep meaning.
Bei Xi, who was standing by, was slightly distracted when she heard this and was attacked by a tentacle. In order to prevent Nan Huan from getting hurt, she had to let go, and Chaka naturally took over Nan Huan.
Yanqi didn't find Chaka at the spot. When he came to his senses, he just caught a glimpse of the other party holding Nanhuan horizontally.
"So she's been waiting for it."
She sighed softly, but there were more and more monsters in front of her. She had been thinking about taking Chaka away from the current environment and thinking of new solutions, but now it seems that there is no solution left.
Just as the tentacle monster saw that Chaka was unable to move because he was protecting Nanhuan and exposed himself, and was about to attack, Yanqi arrived. She stood in front of Chaka and tore the tentacle monster into pieces.
"I want to talk to you."
In the chaos, Nan Huan realized that it was Yanqi who was talking to him.
Although she looked like a monster, her voice didn't change much. She didn't just come up and snatch people away, which was completely different from her arrogant attitude just now.
Chaka was a little hesitant, Beixi was even more reluctant, but Nanhuan was very happy.
"Can."
She knew in her heart that President Chaka was still alive in the copy, which meant that nothing would happen to her here. And in the current situation, the three of them were no match for the tentacle monsters, so Yanqi must have a way to deal with these monsters, but she didn't know what to use in exchange.
Nan Huan never forgot the purpose of their mission, and only through conversation would she have the opportunity to ask Yan Qi.
But she didn't expect that as soon as she finished speaking, Yanqi used its tentacles to pull Nanhuan away from Chaka's hands.
Bei Xi followed immediately. No matter what the situation was or why, she didn't completely trust Yan Qi, so she was worried about Nan Huan being alone with him.
"I will give you something later. You must keep it well and return it to her when the time is right."
While Yanqi was speaking, he glanced at Chaka who was not far away and seemed a little worried about Nanhuan.
"Why don't you just give it to her now?"
Nan Huan was a little puzzled. Wasn't the person here? Why did he act like it was a relic? Why did he have to do this?
"Not now. They are chasing her because of this thing. When this thing is gone, she will be like a normal student."
Nan Huan didn't understand, but that didn't stop her from agreeing readily, "Okay."
She did not forget that the system said that the Yanqi here was just some kind of past existence, and perhaps it was not real and complete.
"I have a question I'd like to ask you. It's important to me...to us."
Nan Huan specifically emphasized that it was not me, but us, hoping to hear a useful answer from Yanqi's mouth.
Although her monster's body was huge, it was very flexible. Nan Huan saw her nod slightly in agreement.
“What’s your favorite thing?”
Nan Huan couldn't wait to ask this question, after all, it involved their mission and whether the system could be put back online.
But perhaps this question touched some nerve in Yanqi, reminding her of something that happened at some point in the past. A moment of warmth and moisture flashed across her monster-like eyes, but it was fleeting.
Nan Huan felt as if he was thrown out by a huge force.
"I don't want to tell you. As for her, she should have known it all along."
These words fell into Nan Huan's ears along with the whistling wind. The feeling of weightlessness did not last too long, and she felt a familiar embrace.
Bei Xi's face was filled with obvious anger. If she didn't know that Yanqi was the only one who could deal with so many monsters now, she would have aimed the arrow in her hand directly at Yanqi in the next second.
Fortunately, she checked Nan Huan from head to toe and found nothing wrong with his body, so she felt relieved.
Seeing the disappointed look on Nan Huan's face, Bei Xi knew that Yan Qi definitely hadn't said anything beneficial to them just now.
Before the two of them could exchange ideas, they saw Yanqi over there suddenly lower its long and thick tentacles. It stopped attacking the tentacle monsters and instead pointed the tentacles towards its own body, piercing them straight into its body, as if it was trying to pull something out.
Suddenly, a white light burst out from her body, very dazzling. Yanqi's figure gradually disappeared, and everything turned into something, hiding in the white light.
Nan Huan couldn't see clearly because of the stabbing, but he could see that the light quickly circled around Chaka's body. Something in the other's body was absorbed by the light and all gathered on that thing.
Those tentacle monsters seemed to be very afraid of such light. The moment they were illuminated by it, they hurriedly retreated as if they were afraid of being contaminated by something dirty.
After all, Yanqi had been saving herself and preventing herself from being attacked by the tentacle monster, so Chaka did not stop the light from moving. At the same moment, she felt that those things that were gradually waking up fell asleep again because of Yanqi's behavior and temporarily left her body.
The dazzling light shone for several minutes, and the brightness continued to increase because of Chaka's body.
Finally, when it reached a certain critical value, it suddenly went out.
Everyone and the monster closed their eyes at the same time.
After a while, Bei Xi was the first to open his eyes.
The monsters around had all dispersed at some point, and even the originally dark sky became clear because of the monsters' departure.
If it weren't for the ruins on the ground, one would think that everything that just happened was just an illusion.
Apart from President Chaka, there was no other trace of Yanqi on the ground.
However, President Chaka was no longer wearing the school uniform she had just worn, and had returned to the way she looked when they entered this mission.
She stood there blankly, looking at her body, and shook her head for some reason.
And in the air in front of Nanhuan, there was something floating that was very familiar to Nanhuan, but seemed a little different from the previous ones.
Nan Huan reached out to grab it, and the thing fell into her hand automatically as if it had some sense of what was happening.
【You received a gift from your students and got a three-dimensional slice. 】
[Hint: This three-dimensional slice is different from the other slices, and it contains some unknown existence. ]
[Hint: You have obtained enough three-dimensional slices to randomly combine into something, but now there is still a lack of a specific time dimension, please be patient. ]
She said that this thing looked familiar. Nan Huan held up the three-dimensional slice in his hand and shone it into the sunlight. There seemed to be a shadow in the middle, which was vague and unclear.
But this time the system finally gave her some useful information. At least she knew that the three-dimensional slices had finally been collected. However, due to time constraints, they had not yet been combined into something concrete.
However, Nan Huan was still a little confused. He was not sure whether this time dimension was to allow them to return to the normal copy time, or whether it had other meanings.
But they can't think about such far-reaching issues now, after all, they still have to get out of here first.
Although Yanqi disappeared with the tentacle monster, they were still on the mission. In other words, Yanqi hadn't asked for her favorite thing yet, and the other party disappeared.
Now we can only try our best, Nan Huan thought of what the other party had just said.
Just when I was about to ask Chaka if he had any other impressions of this matter, he spoke first.
"Maybe I know where the vending machine is?" Chaka's expression was a little subtle. "Strawberry milk should be the correct answer."
"Do you remember?"
Nan Huan and Bei Xi said in unison, with surprise and curiosity.
After all, the two of them didn't expect that this mission would be so bright and clear. After all, they had been busy for a long time, and it seemed that nothing was related to the mission. They thought it would take a lot of effort to find it, but at this moment, Chaka suddenly got it.
How should I put it? Happiness came so quickly that it seemed a little unreal.
The two of them reacted in shock, which made Chaka laugh. She shook her head and said, "No, it's just some clips. But the face in the clips is not Yanqi's, but your face."
ah?
Nan Huan had a lot of questions to ask, but he noticed that Bei Xi’s smile disappeared with these words, so he could only glare at Chaka and ask, “Why are you talking about this?”
Bei Xi stopped smiling and pondered for a moment. "The system said that Yanqi lived as someone else's shadow for a while, so she used to wear Anan's face. Since she knew you were waiting for her, what did Yanqi use this identical face to make you hand over?"
Bei Xi's tone was somewhat gloomy, and it didn't sound like he was saying this out of jealousy to disgust Chaka, but more like a serious mockery.
Nan Huan didn't understand for a moment why Bei Xi suddenly said that, and looked at him with some confusion.
So what?
Why are you still criticizing me? Now she is the only one who knows where the vending machine is. You better take it easy.
Bei Xi reached out and tapped Nan Huan's forehead, "Have you forgotten why Yan Qi came to this school, why she rebelled, what she originally came for, and the person behind the scenes who sent her here the first time to transform her into your appearance. Was it to confuse those students? She must have come for the things in her hand. Yan Qi must have decided to rebel after getting the things, otherwise why would she do this today? It's not a hero saving a damsel in distress, it's just guilt."
Nan Huan's brain finally reacted. After all, only Bei Xi understood Chaka's true strength and knew that she did not have her full strength now. He knew that the ability she was missing must be crucial.
Then the two of them looked at Chaka together, wanting to know an answer from each other.
But the latter just looked at the two of them helplessly and spread his hands, "I really don't remember."
