Chapter 154 Mizuki Private High School (Twenty-six)
This time it took even less time. Nan Huan even felt that she had just sat down and had just figured out something about Gu Yuchen's strange reaction when Bei Xi pushed open the door and came out.
Nan Huan could sense that there was a kind of restlessness in Bei Xi's emotions that was being suppressed.
This time they didn't even go to the bathroom. They just waited on the bench outside the piano room.
"She should have entered the cycle just like us, but passively. Judging from her reaction, she hasn't forgotten what happened in the last cycle."
Nan Huan spoke first. He didn't feel any obvious pain in his body, but he was very tired.
"But now we can only prove that she has a problem. The whereabouts of the button is still unclear. How about we wait a little longer?"
She pressed her solar plexus, and her intuition seemed to affect her thinking.
Seeing this, Bei Xi reached out to help her massage. The cold expression on her face instantly disappeared when she lowered her head. "No need to wait. If she knows something, she will ask."
Bei Xi's voice carried a very stable feeling. Even though she didn't even say 'sure' or 'definitely', it was inexplicably convincing. If she said she would find out, then she would definitely find out.
As they were talking, the remaining three people seemed to have finished their exams, and the sliding door was opened again.
Song Ci and Wang Zhengliang hurried out, but were stopped by Gu Yuchen. "Don't go. Just stay here. When I get out, leave immediately..."
She had never looked so serious before. When she got to this point, she seemed to have thought of something and had to change her words, "It's probably impossible to get out now. You guys just wait here. I'll be there in a while..."
Gu Yuchen didn't know what attitude she had in saying these words, but she was somewhat out of control. Unfortunately, before she could finish her words, she noticed a cold gaze at the door.
Next up is the SpongeBob SquarePants theme song.
The two people behind him were both stunned. Before they could figure out what was going on, they hurriedly saw the black iron axe stabbing towards Gu Yuchen's throat.
Song Ci's mind went blank for a moment, and he reached out to pull the person, but his fingers went through the corner of the other person's clothes.
Gu Yuchen, who was originally standing in front of the two people, suddenly seemed to have turned into a phantom, with golden light all around him.
Although her face had not changed much, Song Ci could feel that she seemed different from the previous Gu Yuchen.
In the past, Gu Yuchen always kept her head down and when she didn’t speak, she was easily ignored and no one would notice her. But now it seems to be different, her presence has become stronger.
In the corridor behind him, the sound-catching beasts had gradually gathered around after smelling the sound, but for some reason, they did not rush to attack this time. They seemed to be standing at a distance and watching, or as if they had received some kind of order and were not in a hurry to move forward.
Bei Xi still held Nan Huan in his arms cautiously, paying attention to the movements around him, while not stopping the attack in his hands.
Nan Huan squinted his eyes and looked at the golden light around the other person, as if he remembered something.
Gu Yuchen didn't seem to want to reveal anything in front of Song Ci and Wang Zhengliang at first, but she didn't expect Bei Xi's attack power to be so strong. After two moves, she was already out of breath and had to reach out and grab something. A golden whip with furry ears appeared in her hand and was swung towards Bei Xi.
Bei Xi retracted his iron axe and held it horizontally in front of his body to block the whip. He turned it twice, and the whip wrapped around the iron axe and climbed up like a vine.
When Beixi wasn't noticing, the ear at the top secretly split into two, and it flew towards Nanhuan in her other hand, pulling its long tail.
In an instant, Bei Xi saw the end of the ear, and it seemed like there were countless small suction cups wriggling, but it was too late for her to react.
Between holding Nan Huan and letting the other party attack her, and letting the other party go and letting her face the hungry sound-catching beasts around her alone, Bei Xi had to compromise and let Nan Huan go temporarily.
On the one hand, she wanted to solve the problem of the ear on the iron rod as soon as possible and hug Nan Huan back, and on the other hand, she had to pay attention to the situation on Nan Huan's side.
When she saw that the sound-catching beast behind Nan Huan had started to move, her pupils dilated in an instant. Fortunately, she felt that familiar feeling in time, so she hurriedly pulled out the air arrow and shot several arrows in the direction of Gu Yuchen.
Nan Huan was dizzy from being thrown off, but his expression did not show any fear.
Even when he caught a glimpse of the sound-catching beast behind him ready to make a move, he just found a nearby bench and sat down to rest.
At the same time, a few dark shadows with bared fangs and claws appeared beside her, grinning and roaring at the sound-catching beasts.
Those things can only judge the target and direction of attack based on sound, so their attention was quickly attracted.
In order to deal with Bei Xi's air arrows, Gu Yuchen stretched out his hand and whipped Song Ci and Wang Zhengliang, who were so frightened that they couldn't speak for a long time, to a safe place.
"I was wondering if it was a bit strange just now. When the first sound-catching beast appeared, I didn't feel it at all, and I didn't smell any scent of its kind from it. It turns out you have helpers."
Gu Yuchen brushed off the dust on his body caused by the explosion and returned to his student-like appearance.
She took Song Ci and Wang Zhengliang to stand on one side of the Sound Catcher, keeping a distance from Bei Xi who had already walked to Nan Huan, and stared at the two of them.
There was no ups and downs in her voice, and it didn't sound like she was interested in this matter. "I don't really understand where I was exposed. Why do you suspect me?"
Bei Xi had no interest in answering her questions. She just squinted her eyes and looked at her, as if thinking about how to deal with her, or how to pry the information she wanted from her. But when her eyes swept across something behind her, it was as if she caught something in her flying thoughts.
"In fact, at the beginning, when we first met outside the dormitory, we didn't doubt you at all."
The responsibility of explaining fell on Nan Huan. Gu Yuchen's skills were not bad, and the Sound-Catching Beast could not be killed. If the fight continued, Bei Xi would not lose, but she would not gain any advantage either. She did not think it was a bad thing that the other party was willing to talk.
"But that meeting was too short. When we triggered the mission next time, we didn't trap you in the mission as well. We missed the first chance to learn the truth. It was only when the mission was upgraded that I realized you might be a variable."
"But your reaction was too calm. Well... I can't say that completely. Although you acted scared and shocked," Nan Huan's face flashed a trace of apology, "your acting skills are really not that good. And you seem to have used opportunistic methods from the beginning. When there are many people around, you always lower your head to show your emotions so as not to appear so out of place. So when facing us, you instinctively chose the most convenient and hassle-free method. But we are not those students who are easily deceived. Besides, there are not many people here. It will soon be discovered that although your expression is nervous, your body language is very relaxed."
While Nan Huan was talking, she was still observing the other person, and her eyes would occasionally fall on the two students behind her. For a moment, she was unable to understand Gu Yuchen's attitude.
"And then you were the only one who refused to go up to the fourteenth floor. Under normal circumstances, any normal person would have reacted like them. They would either want to get out as soon as possible or look for clues together. Besides, there were already clues about the golden sound-catching beast. Anyone who studies music would probably want to take a look. But you didn't care at all."
"I don't care what the music building looked like before, I don't care what happened on the 14th floor, and I don't care about that huge exhibition stand and all the expensive items..."
Nan Huan paused as if he had finally realized something he had overlooked before. After a moment, he glanced at Gu Yuchen sharply, as if he was confirming something. Then he immediately and inconspicuously completed the unfinished sentence, "Musical instrument."
Gu Yuchen, Song Ci and Wang Zhengliang did not notice the strangeness of Nanhuan.
The former did not notice it at all, perhaps because of the difference in structure or thinking, while the latter two were completely shocked by the huge amount of information contained in the words that they had never experienced before.
Only Bei Xi noticed where Nan Huan's gaze was focused. Where the three of them couldn't see, Bei Xi pinched Nan Huan's hand and began to write on the palm of her hand, imitating what she had done in the elevator before.
"So you asked your helper to transform into a sound-catching beast, in order to test our reaction."
Gu Yuchen finally understood and knew how he had finally delivered the evidence to the two of them.
Nan Huan agreed without saying anything, "She is 100% unable to imitate, but it is enough to scare people. The fact is that you really don't have this kind of practical experience. Before you realize something is wrong, your reaction has already allowed us to confirm that you are the golden sound-catching beast."
"Only people of the same species are not afraid of the attacks of the Sound Catchers, but the real Sound Catchers ignore you. And you don't want to go to the fourteenth floor so much."
Nan Huan's words were powerful. On the one hand, it seemed like she was explaining it to Gu Yuchen, but in fact, she had also been paying attention to Song Ci and Wang Zhengliang's reactions.
Because it is uncertain whether the protection Gu Yuchen showed to the two of them was temporary because of their previous actions to rescue her, or there were other reasons.
Moreover, she was worried that the two of them would suffer because of Gu Yuchen's true reaction and do something that Gu Yuchen didn't like, so although her tone of voice was relaxed, her body was tense.
Gu Yuchen did not refute this fact, and the expression on her face remained calm.
But when he noticed that the gazes of the two people behind him fell on him at the same time, looking at him with complicated and shocked expressions, he suddenly felt that his hands and feet seemed to be a little disobedient, but it was only a momentary reaction.
"What if you knew the truth?"
Gu Yuchen finally spoke up, "You can't get out of here."
She said this with great certainty, with a hint of desperateness, which shocked Nan Huan.
Not being able to get out means having to repeat this period of time over and over again. Nan Huan's body couldn't bear one cycle, so when he heard the other party's words, Bei Xi had already clenched the iron axe in his hand, and was stopped by Nan Huan the moment he moved.
"I have been curious for a while. Why did you refuse to transform into your original form even after your identity was revealed?"
Nan Huan seemed very interested. He suddenly changed the subject lightly, and then he said heavily, "And it seems that since the first time I saw you, you have never put down the violin case on your back?"
