Chapter 147 Mizuki Private High School (XIX)
As the system announced, the sound of sliding doors closing in unison could be heard in the corridor.
Although they were on the third floor and could not hear any noise coming from the first floor, Nan Huan knew clearly that the entrance and exit of the building was also closed in some way, just like the door of the piano room that had just been closed.
"You said that the missing president of the Arrow Feather Society and Yanqi were trapped in the building forever for this reason?"
Nan Huan was a little curious because they finally saw something that was somewhat related to the clues they got.
Although she is not 100% sure now, she intuitively feels that the president of the Arrow Feather Club and Yanqi should not be the same person. After all, there is no Arrow Feather Club in Yanqi's club activities.
Bei Xi had stopped playing around with Nan Huan and put one hand on the other's shoulder, observing the situation in the corridor. At the same time, the feeling of being spied on was stronger than before.
"We can't be sure yet, but it's not safe here now. Let's leave first."
Both of them spoke in low voices. Based on previous experience, sounds within a certain decibel level did not trigger the mission. It was the cell phone ringtone that could not be concealed that triggered the bottom.
But Bei Xi did not forget the system's reminder that the sound-catching beast was very sensitive to sound.
Although it is still unclear where the extreme value of this sensitivity is, we definitely cannot stay any longer at the source of this sound.
Obviously, Nan Huan also thought this through. She held her breath unconsciously and followed Bei Xi's footsteps to leave here.
In the large mercury mirror, after the figures of the two people disappeared, in the not-so-real edge of the ceiling light, the bottom of the tray that was moved back was stained with black liquid.
The liquid flowed along the texture of the sink and spread to the edge, as if something was melting.
But it did not drip onto the smooth ground like water. Instead, as it slowly slid to the ground, it turned into a mass that could hardly be called a "human".
The black slogan in the center of the mirror behind the tray had completely disappeared at some point.
The two-player side quest is to find a button. Nan Huan stood in the empty corridor. He knew without even looking that this thing couldn't be outside, otherwise the system would not have closed the doors of all the piano rooms or practice rooms after the quest was published.
If you want to find the button, you have to open the door, and if you want to open the door, there will be a sound.
If there is sound, those things will inevitably be attracted.
Looking again, there are more than a dozen practice rooms of various sizes on the third floor of the west building alone.
Not to mention, the building was more than a dozen stories high, and they hadn't even had time to check the underground.
Nan Huan had already prepared a draft in her mind. After some consideration, she wanted to discuss with Bei Xi. In the current situation, it would be more efficient if the two of them separated. After all, the mission only lasted for an hour. However, as soon as she looked up, she was interrupted by Bei Xi's words.
"Don't even think about it. There's always a way out."
She seemed to have guessed what Nan Huan wanted to say. She kept pressing on the door, but did not push it open directly. She just tried her strength.
I found that although the doors of the piano room and the practice room were closed, they were not completely locked. It just made it a little more difficult for them to find the button to open the door.
Nan Huan pouted her lips. She didn't feel the other party was being perfunctory after hearing what he said. She knew that if Bei Xi said there was a way, then there must be a way. However, when she saw the other party taking her for a stroll in the corridor for a while, touching every sliding door, and then finding a good view at the end, she couldn't help her curiosity.
"What did you think of?"
Her voice was very soft, and she was afraid that Bei Xi couldn't hear it, so she almost leaned close to his ear.
"But you look like you have some bad ideas?"
Nan Huan knew Bei Xi very well. Because of this, he was surprised that the other person had an expression on his face at this moment, as if he was about to do something bad.
The warm breath sprayed on Bei Xi's cheek.
Her adrenaline, which was already surging slightly because of what she was about to do, became a little unstable.
"Um... do you want to see the fireworks?"
Bei Xi did not deny Nan Huan's accusation, but turned his head slightly, looked into the other's sparkling eyes, and asked a question that was completely contrary to the original idea.
This place, this mission, what's the smoke——
Nan Huan's slow thinking seemed to have finally caught up with Bei Xi's ideas and he understood what she was trying to do. After a flash of surprise in his eyes, he felt that this was indeed a good idea.
But she still couldn't help but hold her forehead, "Have you been wanting to do this for a long time, but never found the opportunity?"
She asked sincerely, but Bei Xi seemed as if his thoughts had been discovered and avoided the question.
"It's mainly for the mission. No matter how careful we are, we will definitely alarm that thing. We might as well start by seeing its strength and habits."
She said it with great confidence and seriousness, but in the end, under Nan Huan's expression of "I'm watching you quietly making it up", she quickly surrendered, "Okay, I thought about it before, but I haven't tried it."
"Then President Bei Xi," Nan Huan cleared his throat and addressed the other party formally, "I'm ready to watch the fireworks. Please start your performance."
Maybe it was because they were back in school, but Nan Huan felt that both of them were a little childish at that moment.
But she didn't care. She even felt for the first time that this campus was not bad. After all, in the real world, she would have no chance to relive campus life with Bei Xi.
As soon as she finished speaking, Bei Xi had already put his arm around her and stepped back a few steps. Then he grabbed the air with his other hand, and a crossbow made of cold iron appeared in his hand.
With another wave of his hand, Nan Huan could not see anything clearly. He only had time to catch that the air seemed to be split into several streams.
Then, arrows that were shorter than the air arrows Bei Xi usually shot flew out in unison.
In the wide corridor, more than a dozen arrows, riding the wind, followed a certain predetermined trajectory, were triggered at the same time and landed in different positions in an instant.
The next second, the air arrows on all the sliding doors exploded at the same time. More than a dozen doors collapsed and burst into flames like fireworks.
It was deafening in the originally extremely quiet environment.
Anyway, I have to open the doors and find the button. Instead of trying them one by one timidly, I might as well open them all at once, lure out the so-called sound-catching beast, and test the opponent's strength.
Sure enough, this style was Bei Xi’s first move. Since it was a task, Nan Huan thought the system must have a way to restore it to its original state after they completed the task.
However, only a dozen doors were damaged, which was much better than Nanhuan had expected.
Since Bei Xi has already decided to use this trick, he will definitely not show mercy. Looking at the intact wall, the two men looked at each other. Nan Huan understood that the system had limited the power of the explosion to some extent.
Feeling a little unsatisfied, just as he was about to go forward to check, Bei Xi grabbed his arm.
The other party seemed to have sensed something, and his deep eyes stared in one direction.
Nan Huan also looked over, and then she saw that the word "Jing" pasted every few meters in the corridor was dripping from the frame like melted ice cream, and the black ink slowly gathered on the ground and finally turned into the shape of a monster.
The monster was about two meters tall, crawling on all fours. It was slightly larger than a normal brown bear, with a bloody mouth with fangs and no eyes on its face. However, it had thick hair-like things on its head, which fluttered in the wind when it pounced.
Bei Xi moved even faster. Before the other party pounced on him, he hugged Nan Huan, stood on tiptoe, used the wall for leverage, and flipped over the other party.
Although the monster looked bulky, the hair on its head was much more flexible.
Before he could react, the hair on his head had already stretched longer and was flying after Nan Huan and Bei Xi.
It was not until the thing slid past the side of Nan Huan's face and was cut off by Bei Xi with an iron pick that Nan Huan saw clearly that it was not curled up wool-like hair, but an erect ear.
The moment the other person felt pain, his steps paused for a moment, but the ears on his head did not have even a moment of buffer.
Just relying on its instinctive pursuit of the sound, another one flew out and locked onto the direction of the two people.
Bei Xi raised his knife and chopped again. This time Nan Huan was not dazzled, and he finally confirmed that what he had just seen was not an illusion.
Because just as the other person's ear was cut off, she saw a handful of fine white sand falling to the ground.
At the same time, the long-lost feeling of wanting to swallow something came back, and Nan Huan swallowed with some impatience.
The sound of fighting was a bit loud, and the other "quiet" characters began to melt. This time it was no longer just one sound-catching beast, but several of them jumped out and surrounded us following the sound.
At this time, Bei Xi and Nan Huan were standing in the middle of the corridor, with a sound-catching beast in front of them and several more taking shape behind them.
But Bei Xi was not panicked at all. Instead, the look in his eyes when he looked at them changed.
Bei Xi was so close to her that she naturally noticed something was wrong with Nan Huan, and also saw the fine sand that had fallen to the ground.
"Is it fine sand?"
The inquiry was just three words long, but there was actually a hint of excitement in it.
Nan Huan could feel the excitement in Bei Xi's body. If she had previously barely tested the limits of the abilities of these sound-catching beasts for the sake of the mission, all she had was a small sense of satisfaction in pulling off a prank, and the confidence that she had it all planned out.
Now, she looked more excited than if she had discovered something interesting.
Although Nan Huan felt that it was a bit embarrassing to be caught with this signal that was almost like hunger, he still nodded.
As soon as she moved, the monster's ears swept over to her, but this time it was no longer just one, but several of them with long black tails sweeping over.
Bei Xi pursed the corners of his mouth, feeling a sense of relief that after searching for a long time, he finally got what he wanted without any effort.
At the last moment, when a few ears swept over like whips, he jumped lightly.
The ears were unable to dodge and were briefly entangled with each other. In just a moment, air arrows cut through the sky and shot towards the monsters and the intersection.
