Chapter 209 Mizuki Private High School (Eighty-one)
The sound came from a corner that Beixi and Nanhuan were very familiar with, the small warehouse that Chaka had taken them to before.
Thick smoke billowed, the blue tin house was completely blown up, and two people jumped out from inside.
There are two people that everyone should be very familiar with. One is Chaka who has disappeared for a while. However, she is obviously very different from her previous friendly appearance. There is a solemn feeling about her whole body, making it difficult for people to approach her. There is also an indescribable coldness and cruelty on her face.
The other person is familiar to everyone mainly because of her face, because she has the same face as the eldest lady.
If they didn't understand the situation before, they would probably be frightened when they saw this. However, not only did they know the story about Yanqi from the eldest lady and the president, they even experienced the main task of activating the system. So now they naturally recognized that the person who suddenly appeared and looked exactly like the eldest lady was Yanqi.
This scene seemed to verify what President Chaka had said before. Yanqi had turned into a young lady, as if she had cheated something important from her.
Isn't this just a coincidence? They just bumped into each other.
Compared to the calmness they showed, the other two people showed brief surprise because of their sudden appearance, but this surprise seemed different.
What Yanqi showed on her face was that she was surprised that there were still students here, even though she had clearly blocked them just now. Her eyes slid to the eldest lady's face, and then she became incredulous. She didn't know whether she couldn't believe that the person she was pretending to be really existed, or she couldn't believe how the other person could suddenly appear here.
The first reaction revealed on Chaka's face was to stand in front of them, as if she was worried that Yanqi would hurt them, but when her eyes slid to the eldest lady's face, her eyes revealed unspeakable joy, but she seemed to have no extra reaction to anyone except the president and the eldest lady.
Nan Huan could tell at a glance that Chaka in this timeline should have forgotten what happened in the copy afterwards. The reason why she could recognize him might be related to her original identity.
"We must find a way to catch Yanqi. No matter what she cheated from President Chaka, at this point in time, we may be able to solve the origin of all the incidents."
While everyone was still in a daze, the president had already come up with an idea.
As soon as she finished speaking, she rushed out with a few people. Although President Chaka was not happy about their appearance, Nanhuan's teammates were largely like his own people, and they quickly understood what Beixi wanted to do.
However, Twelve, who was left behind, was unable to understand what the president had just said for a moment.
"Miss, what did the president mean just now? What does it mean to solve the origin of all incidents?"
They had already seen Yanqi's abilities when they activated the system mission. It was stronger than ordinary monsters, but now they had the advantage in numbers, so while Twelve was watching the battle, he took the time to chat with the eldest lady to relieve his tension.
"Back to the previous question." Nan Huan stared at the tentacles that Yan Qi had already extended not far away, and seeing that Bei Xi and the others did not lose out immediately, he answered Twelve's question, "You think the system's previous and subsequent actions are very contradictory, but if in every side quest, or even in the main quest, the time factor, or those actions that you think are helping us by the system, are not the system's actions, but a kind of..."
Nan Huan said this and looked at Chaka again, as if he was choosing his words. After a pause, he continued, "Is it a protection mechanism left behind by a person or some kind of power?"
Even though Twelve was slow, she understood what the eldest lady meant. She also looked at President Chaka, a little bit unbelievable, "You mean, President Chaka is helping us with all this? These time factors were all created by her. She has been helping those students all the time. So even though the monsters have turned into students, those students have never died."
Twelve had always known that President Chaka was very strong, but this guess still shocked her.
Nan Huan already had a guess about Chaka's ability, and when he heard Twelve's conclusion he nodded without hiding anything.
The sudden situation caught Yanqi off guard. The tentacles behind her were fighting with other players in all directions, but her eyes were always on President Chaka.
"I have help. You can't escape. Return what you stole from me and I will let you go."
Chaka shot an arrow with a flaming tail, which landed directly in front of Yanqi, brushing past the opponent's tentacles but not hitting him.
The tone of her voice was always indifferent. She did not show any anger at being deceived, nor did she have any desire to continue to entangle with Yanqi. She was even unwilling to think about whether there was any sincerity in what Yanqi had done for her before.
Yanqi knew that this was a warning. When she transformed into a monster, the young lady look on her face disappeared and turned back into her own appearance.
Yes, she didn't care at all. She knew from the beginning that it was fake. It was not so much that she cheated the thing out, but rather that the other party voluntarily gave it to her for safekeeping for that person. It's just that she couldn't remember it now.
A hint of bitterness flashed through Yanqi's heart, but she quickly suppressed the emotion and said, "I'm sorry, I promised someone that I can't return this thing to you for the time being."
After saying that, she stretched out a few tentacles from behind her, sweeping away the weapons in the hands of President Barbie and several other players, and swept all of them and threw them into the flower bed next to them.
Chakara's bow paused for a moment because of Yanqi's words. She had forgotten something very important, but somehow, once she made up her mind to deal with the person in front of her, a hint of hesitation would always flash through her mind.
But whether it was the aura of the other person or her own perception, it fully demonstrated that Yanqi had something of hers, and she had transformed into that person's appearance before. It was hard for her to imagine that the other person had not used such despicable means to cheat things away from her.
Compared to Chaka's hesitation, Beixi's attack was much more effective.
Yanqi's original form was huge, even bigger than the complete form they had seen in previous missions, but her body flexibility was not affected at all. Although she could not dodge Beixi's arrows every time, she was rarely injured by the explosion.
In particular, even if her tentacles were injured by Bei Xi's air arrows, they would grow back as soon as she turned around. Her ability was stronger than Bei Xi had expected, and the other party obviously didn't want to have any more entanglement with them and just wanted to leave here.
Although Beixi already knew what would happen next, and there was a high probability that Yanqi would choose to betray the mysterious school director as she did before, she did not form a united front with Chaka. In addition, their appearance now was a variable, and it was unknown whether the previous and future timeline would be changed. Therefore, Beixi did not dare to take the risk and still wanted to capture Yanqi at this juncture and get the things from her.
On the one hand, he tried desperately to leave, on the other hand, he was chasing after him relentlessly. The two sides were in a stalemate, the dust in the flower bed was flying, and explosions were heard one after another.
Nan Huan, who was not far away, also realized that the fighting power of both sides seemed to be equal, and it might be difficult to tell who was the better one for a while.
Just as she was hesitating whether to temporarily cease the fight and have a good communication with Yanqi through words, after all, the other party had shown in the previous timeline that he was more on the side of Chaka. Maybe they could win without fighting.
But before Nan Huan put his idea into action, something unexpected happened.
Several flashes of lightning suddenly appeared in the sky not far away, accompanied by roaring sounds. It looked very strange in broad daylight.
A huge lightning bolt seemed to split the sky and earth as it fell from the suspended air onto the playground in the distance.
After the white light suddenly appeared, Nan Huan saw something emerging from the white light, until a familiar outline appeared increasingly clear on the playground against the light.
"Shit..." Twelve was wondering why there was sudden lightning on such a sunny day. After all, in a dungeon, there would not be much weather change except for mission requirements. Then she looked in the direction of the lightning and saw another familiar person.
"How is this possible? She, she, she... wasn't she expelled?"
Her brain seemed to have crashed. After trying for a long time, she could only utter this sentence.
Nan Huan's face had turned completely gloomy. She didn't bother to answer Twelve's words and quickly called out to Bei Xi in the communication channel, "Morpheus has appeared. Don't get entangled with Yan Qi. Leave here, quickly..."
As she spoke, her pair of wings had already taken shape, and she pulled Twelve towards where Beixi was.
As an ordinary player, Morpheus was expelled from this copy by the system before entering the main mission. She should never appear here again.
Although the other party looked no different from Morpheus before, his temperament was obviously different. In addition, Nan Huan smelled a strange breath, which came from the black air that was born from the lightning along with her.
This feeling made Nan Huan feel uneasy and even alert for the first time.
She is not a player, and may even have known Chaka's ability from the beginning, so -
In a flash, Nan Huan thought of something and guessed why Morpheus appeared here.
Bei Xi naturally heard what Nan Huan said. She did not expect that Morpheus, who had been expelled from the game, would appear here again. And from Nan Huan's anxious tone, it seemed that he was not just worried about the other party's dream skills.
She had already started arranging for other players to retreat, but she didn't expect Yanqi to be faster than all of them. The moment she saw Morpheus, she had already cut off several of her tentacles, endured the severe pain, and quickly withdrew, wanting to leave.
Yanqi had met Morpheus before they entered the dungeon.
Even in such an urgent situation, Bei Xi realized this immediately.
Only Chaka was not sure about the identity of the newcomer, and even did not understand why everyone suddenly started to retreat when they were fighting well.
But Morpheus did not give everyone too much time. She waved her hand and the black air behind her swept over.
