Chapter 213 Mizuki Private High School (Eighty-Five)
The current situation has completely exceeded the players' expectations, so much so that they are completely confused about how to leave this place and how to save these classmates who have turned into monsters.
The president's appearance changed and he looked much younger. In short, he didn't seem as easy to get along with as before, so everyone naturally placed their hopes on Nan Huan.
Therefore, when she said that she tried to control the monsters with her blood in their bodies but failed, everyone was stunned.
But I didn't expect the system to pop up at this time and say this out of the blue.
Twelve had to admit that she had never found the system's prompt sound so pleasant. After all, she thought they had returned to a timeline beyond the start of the dungeon. The dungeon had not started yet, so the system would naturally ignore them. However, she did not expect that the system would appear when everyone did not know what to do next. It was such a coincidence.
However, after what she said, except for Nan Huan who seemed to have thought of something and had a look of understanding on his face, everyone else was confused and didn't understand what was going on with this so-called "time dimension" that had been opened?
"Who is speaking?"
Ghost King Heer and President Chaka spoke in unison and looked around vigilantly. The former drew his whip and the latter drew his bow.
Nan Huan couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand. How should he explain the existence of the system to the two of them?
Nan Huan felt a bit of a headache. More importantly, Hull in other previous forms did not seem to have experienced the process of using Beixi's player identity. This was a bit special.
"It's hard to explain, but judging by the current situation, our turning point may have come."
If you can't explain it, just give up on making them understand the existence of the system for the time being and return the question to how to solve the current situation.
These two people had always obeyed Nan Huan's words, and now after hearing what he said, they did not continue to ask questions, but just relaxed their vigilance around them.
[The specific time dimension has been opened, and the three-dimensional slice has been detected to meet the triggering requirements. Do you want to trigger it? ]
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone finally remembered that Nan Huan had mentioned before the three-dimensional slices obtained in different side quests. The last piece was given by Yanqi, but because the triggering conditions had not been met, it was temporarily forgotten. They just didn't expect it to happen at this time.
Nan Huan looked around, and in everyone's approving gazes, he chose to trigger in a steady voice.
As the sound of her choice fell, several three-dimensional slices in the Nanhuan control panel automatically flew out and hung in the air.
The sun was shining brightly at this time. Although the crystals from dozens of planes were very small, they still flashed tiny rays of light in the sun.
The players saw that several originally small crystals were fitted together in a strange shape under the sunlight, and then continued to stretch until a prismatic door like a cut was formed in mid-air. Each mirror surface could reflect the current situation on the playground.
Just when the player thought the changes had stopped and wanted to study whether he could enter the door and where to enter.
Something suddenly started falling from a certain plane of the prismatic door. Nan Huan thought it was dirt at first, but when she touched it she found it was yellow-white gravel, very similar to what she and Bei Xi had seen in the concert hall before.
"Ahem...what's going on?" Twelve covered his mouth and nose, trying to look up to see more clearly, but was blinded by the increasing sand and gravel. "Is the system planning to bury us all alive?"
Liu Shen had to cover her mouth to prevent her from swallowing a mouthful of sand.
Because they had to protect the remaining small number of students, they did not easily move out of the central position. The range of movement was not large, and the sand in front of everyone had buried their ankles.
As if to verify Twelve's words, the system started to rain sand in the area where they were after she finished shouting. Strands of sand poured directly onto the players. Soon the players were stuck in the sand and unable to move. They could only cover their mouths and noses with their hands.
The Ghost King Heer initially wanted to take Nan Huan away from this unfortunate place, but was rejected by Nan Huan.
"Everyone, cover your mouth and nose. The entrance is probably in the sand."
Nan Huan didn't think that the system would bury them alive at this time, and quickly guessed the system's purpose. He covered his mouth and nose with one hand, grabbed the Ghost King Heer with the other hand, and automatically drilled into the gravel with him.
As soon as they squatted down, they felt the sand beneath them begin to slide, as if to make a passage. The two of them slid down uncontrollably. Everything in front of their eyes was dark and they could not see anything. However, the sand did not become an obstacle and did not enter their mouths and noses.
A minute later, the rapid descent showed signs of slowing down. The Ghost King Heer seemed to have sensed something. He grabbed Nan Huan and jumped down, landing steadily on the ground.
Nan Huan finally opened his eyes and found that they were standing on soft sand.
The surroundings were like transparent curved glass, wide at the bottom and narrow at the top. There was a tightened opening where their heads just landed. Nanhuan was limited by his strength and could not see clearly above that, but the shape did look familiar.
“Is this a giant hourglass?”
Nan Huan spoke with a puzzled tone, but just as she finished speaking, she was pulled aside by the Ghost King Heer. At the same time, Chaka fell down where she had been standing.
Then Nan Huan saw everyone falling down from the narrow opening above like dumplings.
"It does look beautiful," Twelve looked around, "but there's nothing here..."
I don't know why the system brought them from that place to this giant hourglass, but for the sake of caution, Twelve just got close to observe and didn't touch the curved glass.
But before she could finish her words, everyone caught a glimpse of a very familiar blue water ripple-like thing appearing next to Chaka's hand, rippling outward in circles, as if urged by something, or as if it had sensed something.
Twelve or twenty times, he shut his mouth in fear.
Nan Huan, on the other hand, raised one eyebrow, looked at the rippling blue water ripples for a while, then glanced at the tea card, and said with certainty, "This thing is exactly the same as when Yan Qi left just now, why don't you give it a try?"
Although this place is not small, everything is clearly visible. Twelve even pulled the sand under his feet a few times but didn't find anything wrong. But after everyone arrived, the water ripples suddenly appeared next to Chaka. How could it be a simple coincidence?
After all, this is a special situation and there is no trial and error method. Besides, the reason they can come here is mostly because of Chaka, so they can only try their best.
Chaka didn't hesitate at all. As soon as Nan Huan finished speaking, she reached out her hand.
Instantly, a blue light burst out and enveloped everyone.
Nan Huan felt the sand under her feet suddenly become softer and began to surge under the illumination of the blue light, until a grain of sand flew into the air and was absorbed into the blue water ripples. Soon after, Chaka, she and the Ghost King Heer were absorbed into the water ripples.
The speed was so fast that it swept away everything in its path. By the time Twelve and the other players reacted, they couldn't even catch the edge of the young lady's clothes.
"It's over, it's over," Twelve said blankly, "I'm a grown-up lady, and there's still a president?"
The players who were slow to react rushed to other places to look, but although this place was very large, one could see the end at a glance, and apart from them, there was no sign of anyone else.
Just when Twelve was about to smash the glass in a hurry, he was stopped by Liushen and President Barbie.
"Don't be impulsive," President Barbie spoke first. "The system just said that a specific time dimension has been triggered. Judging from what happened just now, this three-dimensional slice is most likely related to Chaka, so the system chose the three of them to enter. It's not that there was any accident. Let's wait patiently for a while. If you are so impulsive, if something happens here, it might affect the young lady and the others."
President Barbie is unsure now, but looking at the situation just now, it doesn’t seem like there is any danger. It seems more like a specific choice made by the system. She can only comfort everyone first.
Liu Shen knew that Twelve was worried about the eldest lady and the president, so he reached out and pressed their shoulders. "You know their strength. If they can't handle them, it will be our turn soon. So there's nothing to worry about. Just wait quietly for a while."
I don't know whose words worked, but Twelve finally calmed down. However, she refused to wait quietly for news, so she had to drag Liushen to pace around the curved glass, trying to find some clues from it.
After Nan Huan and Ghost King Heer followed Chaka in, they found that there seemed to be a very long corridor in front of them. There were many colorful barcodes on both sides of the corridor, just like the feeling of seeing time flow through other people in the auditorium before, but the colors here were obviously more intense. Just when Nan Huan felt that he was about to vomit because of the system, the colors in front of him finally disappeared completely, and they stepped on normal land.
"Well, if we hadn't just experienced what happened, I would have thought we had gone around in a circle and come back."
Nan Huan stroked his chin, looked at the familiar scene in front of him, and made a joke.
But usually there was always Twelve's support, the other players' agreement and even Bei Xi's response. Today there was nothing. She looked around and saw two people who were even more confused than her, so she gave up playing charades.
"It's still in school, but I don't know what timeline this school is in. Do you have any impression? Maybe it has something to do with Yanqi's contact with you?"
Nan Huan turned to ask Chaka. After all, the hourglass and channel opened by this three-dimensional slice had a lot to do with her.
Yes, it was still a school in front of me, but it seemed much more peaceful and deserted than the school where monsters were rampant just now. There were no students to be seen, and it looked even more dilapidated.
Chaka shook her head, still had no impression, but she was not in a hurry. After all, she had already come in and should be close to the truth.
The ghost king Heer was a little curious. She hooked Nan Huan's hand and said, "So why did we come in? Every time I see you, you seem to be in a very dangerous state."
She looked a little unhappy. Although she was very happy that Nan Huan summoned her, she thought about the fact that Nan Huan's situation didn't seem to be good last time and this time. In addition, with the appearance of that voice just now, she didn't quite understand what Nan Huan was doing.
Nan Huan sensed her impatience and squeezed her hand as if to comfort her, then he took the time to explain the mess outside, "We have to find a way to deal with those monsters. You saw it just now. If you can deal with them all, I will be dead soon, so there must be a way to have the best of both worlds. More importantly, we are now experiencing the past. If this problem is not solved, these monsters will turn into students in the future and walk out of the school in a swagger, just like the ghosts that were imprisoned in Fengmenling before. The monsters will also run out of the school, and that will be terrible."
Ghost King Heer almost understood this explanation. Thinking of the scene just now, she seemed to understand something. "So that person just now did it on purpose. He used the black energy to get your blood and control those monsters so that we can't act rashly."
"This is just one of the reasons. I can feel that the black energy is a little different. It entered my body and not only wanted to kill me, but also wanted to occupy my body..."
Nan Huan realized that this statement was ambiguous and paused. "Anyway, it shouldn't be that simple. Using monsters to control the entire Shuimu City may just be a side goal."
Chaka also caught up with the train of thought at this time, recalling everything that happened before, "So I set up some kind of insurance, or emergency channel in your mission. Once it is triggered, you will be sent back to the present?"
Nan Huan nodded, "But there is one thing I have never figured out. We came here because of you. What about Morpheus and those black spirits? Why did they come back here as well?"
If the other party used some props or abilities, why didn't they go back to a time that was more advantageous to them, and why did they choose now?
If they didn't have these things, how could they have come here and followed Nanhuan.
Chaka's face rarely looked serious. No one knew what she was thinking. Then, as if she suddenly sensed something, she raised her head and looked into the distance. "Maybe those can tell us the reason."
Nan Huan and the Ghost King Heer looked in the direction she was looking, and as expected, they saw Morpheus.
Ghost King Heer reached for the whip reflexively, but was stopped by Chaka, "The scene here is not real. It is likely a memory hidden in that grain of sand."
As she spoke, she took out an arrow and shot it at Morpheus in the distance. The arrow went straight through the opponent's body.
Nan Huan was not too surprised. After all, Morpheus's appearance just now was surprising enough, not to mention that he was just a phantom now.
There was obvious anger on Murphys' face, as if she was looking for someone to settle a score with. As she walked, the school building seemed to disintegrate and fly into the air.
Nan Huan thought to himself, this high school has a really unfortunate fate, it is demolished every time.
But before she could finish her thought, she saw the flying parts spun in the air and fell down again, like building blocks, and Morpheus finally stopped.
"Do you think I can't find you if you hide in this school?" Morpheus said in a bad tone, looking in the direction of the bridge of the teaching building, "Hand over the things to me, and I will let you choose a quick death."
There was no emotion on her face when she said this, as if her own powerful strength was enough to support her in being so reckless.
Nan Huan's brows furrowed when he saw the man appear under the covered bridge.
It was the same face as Bei Xi and the Ghost King Heer, but it was not entirely normal to say that she was a human being, because Nan Huan discovered that, apart from her face, her entire body seemed to be made up of sand, and the milky white sand made her look a little more sacred.
It was self-evident whose memory this was. In addition, the Ghost King Heer had told Chaka before that she looked a little stupid now. Nan Huan couldn't help but turn her head to look at Chaka's expression, but found that the other person's face was very heavy. It should be the scene in front of her that stimulated her to think of some scene.
“I won’t give you anything.”
The Chaka in the memory spoke, his voice was very cold, not the kind of disdain for Morpheus's strength, but the certainty that certain established things will definitely happen.
Then he turned his head without warning, looked in the direction of the three of them, and said something that seemed to indicate something, "You seem to have forgotten what my ability is. Why do you think I deliberately revealed my flaw this time? What if I did it on purpose?"
Her thin lips curled upward in an arc, which reminded Nan Huan of Bei Xi all of a sudden.
"The person I'm waiting for has already arrived."
When Nanhuan, Chaka and Ghost King Heer were trying to figure out whether the other party could see them, Chaka in the memory added, "Whether it is now, in the past or in the future."
"What's the meaning?"
Black energy had gathered around Morpheus' body, and he moved step by step like the Chaka in his memory.
Of course, she also followed Chaka's gaze, but Nan Huan could clearly feel that Morpheus could not see them.
However, there was no response to the other party's words. Everyone present watched helplessly. In their memory, Chaka silently recited something, and saw the sand surrounding her lower body begin to spin in circles, submerging her.
Then Nanhuan saw that countless colored barcodes were gradually emerging from the body of Chaka, and the colors gradually changed into tiny grains of white sand, and were finally blown away by the wind.
Before Morpheus could touch her, the sandstorm grew bigger and bigger, and soon the whole school, including Morpheus, was buried in the sand, and Chaka just disappeared in the sand.
Time seemed like a stop-motion movie that was halfway through playing and stopped at the last moment.
Before Nan Huan and the others could even move, everything in front of them quickly shrank and became as small as a grain of sand, which sank into Chaka's brow and entered her body.
Nan Huan saw that Chaka's body, from top to bottom, began to emit the same sacred look that they had just seen, and this happened back and forth three times.
When Chaka opened her eyes again, the color of the sand had faded a little and it was precipitating from her forehead.
Although Chaka's face has not changed much, something seems to be different.
