Chapter 126 Scene 40: The Shadow of [That Group of People]
"Ding! We've reached the ground!"
"The elevator door is about to open!"
"Everyone, get ready," Xiang Cheng pulled a whip from her waist and lashed at the boulder blocking the elevator door. "The battle is about to begin!"
"Bang!"
"boom--!!!"
The huge rock was hit hard by the whip, and it immediately cracked at the impact point, breaking into several small pieces of stone that flew in all directions!
The [Deformed Species] and [Deformed Aliens] gathered opposite the boulder were accurately hit by the small stones, and they all let out bursts of tragic roars, with blood and flesh splattering everywhere!
"Spread out! [Laichun], follow the plan and surround [them] from the outside!"
Xiang Cheng moved quickly. The next second after the boulder shattered, she had already passed through the blood rain and cleared a path to the center of the land covered by the protective shield!
"yes!"
The children answered, then jumped out of the escalator in an orderly manner and ran in different directions!
"Minglin, follow me!" Xiang Cheng shouted. "We have to drive these [Deformed Species] and [Deformed Aliens] back to the [Jurisdiction] of the [Laichuns]!"
"good!"
He Yuezhe nodded, held the flaming dagger in his right hand, activated his [Ability], and reached Xiang Cheng's side in a few steps!
The dagger instantly slashed across the neck of a [Deformed Species] that pounced towards Xiang Cheng, causing blood vessels to fall out of the neck and blood to spurt out!
"Xiang Cheng!"
He Yuezhe looked at Xiang Cheng's exposed skin, which suddenly bulged as if burned when it was touched by blood and flesh, and yellow pus was violently stirring under the skin!
There are adverse reactions to the bodies of [Deformed Species] and [Deformed Aliens]...
Xiang Cheng's body is actually still a [Magician]?!
But there are clearly two other souls within her body! Is that something a "magician" can do?!
"Tsk, it's okay," Xiang Cheng bit through the pustule, swung his whip and continued fighting. "I've injected [their] blood samples, and they'll be back to normal soon."
The two men moved quickly and coordinated well, like old comrades who had known each other for many years.
Soon, the [Deformed Species] and [Deformed Aliens] were driven to the center of the protective shield.
"...Very good, the [Laichun] have been successfully [linked] together." The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, "Our mission is accomplished."
She swiftly shuttled through countless monsters, and with a sudden pull of the whip, she tied them all together!
He Yuezhe followed Xiang Cheng and quickly ran to the group of [deformed species], slashing with the dagger!
"WHAAAA ...
"Aa ...
"Very skillful." Xiang Cheng pulled back the whip.
"Hehe," He Yuezhe raised his head, "Of course."
"Okay, come, hold my hand," Xiang Cheng tied the whip and put it on his waist, then stretched out his hand towards He Yuezhe, "They are coming."
"Laichun?" He Yuezhe obediently took Xiang Cheng's hand, and the two stood on a small hill made of corpses.
"...Now they are the coming spring." Xiang Cheng took out her pipe again. "The ones you were chatting with before were just a group of ordinary children."
“…”
“BOOM——!!!”
The earth once again opened its huge mouth in front of He Yuezhe.
Six [things] of different shapes rose from six directions and floated towards the center of the protective shield.
"If you hadn't kept your eyes closed when you entered the laboratory, you would have seen this scene." Xiang Cheng exhaled a puff of smoke.
“…”
It was not until [they] came closer that He Yuezhe discovered that the six [things] all had their arms open, as if hugging something.
The distance between them is getting closer and closer, hands are holding hands, and energy is blending.
“Ah—Ah—”
An extremely high-pitched chant that did not belong to humans or magicians, or even to deformed species or deformed aliens, came out of their mouths.
He Yuezhe seemed to see the shadow of that group of people in them.
...No, no, absolutely not. Do those people even want to destroy the world they themselves have cultivated?!
The surviving [Deformations] and [Deformation Aliens] that were still left on the ground let out low, painful screams at the same time after the chanting sounded: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!"
The screams and chants lasted for more than three minutes before slowly subsiding.
The ground flashed and returned to its original state. The corpses of the [Deformed Species] and [Deformed Aliens] were all swallowed up into the ground.
"Aren't they coming down?" He Yuezhe looked at the few [Laichun] still floating in the sky and asked in confusion.
"They are still digesting." Xiang Cheng replied calmly.
"...Digest what? The corpses of the [Deformed Species] and [Deformed Species Alien]?"
"Yes, that's their energy source, and it's also necessary..."
"Teacher Xiang Cheng!!"
Xiang Cheng's words were interrupted by the girl's lively shouting.
"Hey—and this freshman!" The girl passed through the protective shield and dropped from high above. "You guys are so fast!?"
"I thought I could see the [Laichun] singing when I came here!"
It turned out to be the girl who picked up He Yuezhe and took her to the auditorium when she first enrolled in school!
"...Why are you here?" Xiang Cheng stood in front of He Yuezhe, reached out to catch the girl, and asked.
The girl jumped a few times on the ground, straightened her clothes, winked and smiled, "Of course, because I have something to ask of you!"
"You all know about the war between the [Higher Management] and the [Magicians], right?" the girl said. "The principal is worried about not being able to handle this properly."
"She wants to use [Come Spring]?"
"No! The principal just wants you to take this new student to the city to help!"
"What about the Academy...?"
The girl glared at Xiang Cheng angrily: "We are not useless, we have many ways to deal with it!"
"Huh," Xiang Cheng took a puff and put down his pipe. "It's hard not to worry about you when you're like this."
"You! Xiang Cheng!!" The girl frowned and glared at Xiang Cheng. "Then I'll tell you the truth. The principal has already asked the great magicians from seven years ago to start constructing a protective shield for the academy."
"So! You don't need to worry at all!"
"But... by the way, you'd better take the [Laichun] with you. Recently, there have been no less than ten bodies of the tortured eight-headed ones in the [Academy]." The girl's expression became serious. "If there really are [Deformed Species] who have sneaked into the [Academy], we absolutely cannot put the [Laichun] in danger."
The number starts with eight. It turns out that the ones she killed back then were all a certain [Laichun]...
No, "some"? That's obviously a lot of them, right?
He Yuezhe frowned: ...Could it be that the scholar has already followed us to this world?
"...Okay," Xiang Cheng was silent for a few seconds, then agreed immediately, "We'll set off after [they] have [digested] them."
He Yuezhe stood behind Xiang Cheng and watched the girl skipping away.
The imbalance in her steps and the unstable energy fluctuations around her made He Yuezhe keenly aware that something was wrong.
The great [Magician] from seven years ago... This statement is really interesting. Maybe this "girl" is one of them?
He Yue curled up the corners of her mouth.

"Ugh!! Damn it, why is it so painful!!!"
Yu Runfa finally couldn't help himself and growled, "Fish! Can you guys please be a little more obedient? Do you want to hurt me to death?!"
She grabbed the soft tentacles that burst out from the wound on her chest and cursed at them, but she could hardly hold them because of the pain.
【？ 】
The tentacles trembled and bent into a question mark, as if mocking Yu Runfa as a clown.
"You, you!!!" Yu Runfa was furious, but he had no strength left. He could only collapse on the sofa and stare at the ceiling, cursing, "You fish fish fish fish fish fish fish fish fish fish!!! Sooner or later, I will kill you like fish!!!"
【Oh】
【Oh】
"I—fish—you—"
"Bang!!!"
Before he could finish his words, Yu Runfa suddenly felt a flash before his eyes and an even more intense pain came from his chest!
“Uhhhhhh!!!”
Just as she tried to wipe the stuff off her eyes with her hands, she suddenly realized that her hands had pinched and broken those tentacles without her knowing it!
“Is there really a ghost…?” Yu Runfa’s entire body began to tremble. This feeling of being inexplicably controlled gave her goose bumps all over her body. “My hand, my hand…!”
"Fish - welcome to join -"
"Hey, Fish—would you like to team up with us?"
"who……?"
"Fish—we succeeded, we really killed this [freak]!"
"——Team! Never give up! Go, go, go!"
"Fish - I know your situation. It's okay. We will always be with you. Don't be afraid."
“Who, who is talking…?!!”
“…”
"No more? Another hallucination?" Yu Runfa shook her head. The sudden words just now made her dizzy. "Forget it, let's deal with this place first."
"If someone finds out, I won't be able to explain it."
He took out some medicine powder from his waist bag and sprinkled it on the wound, then tore off some clothes and tied them around the wound to stop the bleeding.
Yu Runfa quickly tidied himself up, stole a mop from next door and started cleaning His room.
The ground was covered with blood and flesh, and a dark yellow hard object was sliding around in it, almost cutting Yu Runfa's hand.
"Hiss," Yu Runfa straightened up and stretched his stiff body, "I haven't exercised for too long, I'm not flexible anymore."
Seeing the ground getting dirtier and dirtier as it was dragged, with blood mixed with dust all over the floor, Yu Runfa took a deep breath and said, "——Ha, Yu Yu, how could this happen?!"
I just rested (enjoyed) myself for a few days (the life of a [person in power]), how come I really can't even do my job?!
If she takes this guy back to the city later, what will the neighbors think of her?!
…
"Which [family] are you from? What are you doing in the [city]?" The guard stood outside the city gate connecting the [city] and the [city], looking up and down at Yu Runfa and the girl on her back. "Are you aware of the recent war and the chaos in the [city]? Are you looking for death?"
In the end, I came back.
"A big battle?" Yu Runfa's eyes widened. "What big battle?"
"It's a battle between the [High-level] and the [Magicians]. You came from [outside the city], you don't even know this, right?" The guard said with disdain.
"No, I know there's a grudge between the [High-level] and the [Magicians], but weren't those things exposed just a few days ago? How did a war break out?"
"Tsk, if you want to fight, go ahead. How can we, the little guys, have any right to comment on the actions of big shots?" The guard said lazily. "Alright, alright, let's stop talking about this. Just register."
"oh."
"...Are you from the Yama family?"
"what?"
"You, you! Hey, no one in your family told you—"
"I am the One in Power."
"——What!?!!!" The guard's expression suddenly turned fawning. "Um, um, I was blind to the truth just now. [Power], could you please give me an autograph?"
"Huh? Get lost, I don't have time to sign for you."
"No!!! [Powerful One], just give me——"
"Huh, I finally got rid of this sticky thing. Next, um, let me see, how do I get to Herb Street?"
"Ah, let's go this way. It goes through sixteen alleys. It should be the fastest way!"
"No, there seems to be a strange noise in this alley... Is someone fighting?!"
"It's okay, just go around it!" Yu Runfa shook the still unconscious girl on his back and encouraged himself, "Yu Runfa, don't be afraid!"
So Yu Runfa quietly walked over from the darkness of the alley.
"...Wait, oh my goodness, why do I feel like this person looks so familiar to me?"
