Chapter 130: Scene 44 Please, die with my secret...
"H-How did you recognize me?!" The girl leaned back in fear, her exposed skin burned by the flames, melting and dripping down like paste. "Did Tang Xiqin tell you?!"
He Yuezhe retracted the dagger and let the blood gush out from the wound on his arm.
"Senior Zhao, this isn't important," she said, stepping forward and grabbing the girl's neck with her bloodied hands. "What's important is that you're dying."
The girl's skin was extremely dry, and large flakes of dead skin fell off under He Yuezhe's movements.
"One life for another, Senior Zhao, do you think it's a loss?"
He Yuezhe smiled and reached out to pinch the mixed skin fragments and the blood of the [Deformed Species] that were attached to her hand.
"...Sand?" She quickly knelt on the girl's legs. "Senior Zhao, you can't run away."
"Ugh!! Minglin, what on earth are you trying to do!?" the girl groaned. "Ming Jiao is dead. Even if you kill me, there's no way she can be resurrected!"
"Then Senior Zhao, you don't want Principal Zhang to know that you occupied someone else's body... right?" He Yuezhe approached the girl and whispered.
"You!!?" The girl's eyes suddenly changed.
"If you don't want to be known, just listen to me."
"……what are you up to?"
"Of course, I want to chat with our dear Principal Zhang."
"Senior Zhao, wait until I stand up before you start yelling," He Yuezhe said, staring into the girl's wary eyes. "Until Principal Zhang shows up, you must cooperate with me, otherwise I will immediately kill this [body] and its original owner."
"Then you have to promise me that you won't attack Zhang Wanbai!"
"As long as you listen, everything is easy to talk about."
"...Okay, I'll be obedient."
As soon as she finished speaking, He Yuezhe exerted force on her legs, and the chair was kicked backwards and slammed into the floor-to-ceiling window!
“Ahhhhhhhhh!!! It hurts so much!!! How dare you hit me!!!” The girl’s screams rang out.
The chair flew away, and the girl was pinched by He Yuezhe and gathered in mid-air.
"Why shouldn't I hit you?" He Yuezhe pretended to be confused, and the strength in his hands became stronger and stronger.
“Aa ...
That’s right, no matter how ruthless or cruel my actions are, you can only take the beating and cooperate with me.
Only such a person could make her feel excited from the bottom of her heart.
"Minglin!!" Tang Xiqin shouted anxiously, "You——"
He Yue turned her head, touched her lips with her index finger, blinked, and signaled her to be quiet.
Then he spread out his hand, and a dagger suddenly appeared.
The dagger was spinning in He Yuezhe's palm, and then she threw it out with force like a dart!
Just a second before the dagger was about to pierce the girl's body!
“Zheng!!!!”
Metal meets metal!
The dagger was blocked by a hand!
With a wave of his hand, Principal Zhang's figure appeared from the void.
"Minglin, you're here after all." Zhang Wanbai's voice was weak.
She took the limp Zhao Lingqi and looked up at He Yuezhe.
He Yuezhe tilted his head and smiled, "Yes, I'm here, I'm here to find you."
"...Since you have questions for me, Xiqin, please take Ling Qi outside first."
"Wanbai!" The girl grabbed Zhang Wanbai's hand and said, "I'll stay here with you, isn't that okay?!"
“…”
He Yuezhe watched the tears streaming down the girl's face, but her smile grew brighter and brighter.
Yes, he had already seen through his ability of [Energy Visualization] that Zhang Wanbai had been hiding here. Those words seemed to be threatening the girl, but in fact they were reminding Zhang Wanbai and forcing her to show up.
I just didn't expect that Zhang Wanbai would be so impatient.
Is this former teammate who has become a [fusion], this teammate who possesses that person's [body], really that important to her?
"I'm sorry, Ling Qi," Zhang Wanbai pried the girl's hand away. "What we need to talk about is something very important. After she leaves, I'll tell you, okay?"
"Why? Why, you've never been like this before...?"
"Let's go, senior."
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, Ling Qi..."
"Excuse me."
"Bang!"
The door was closed from the outside.
“…”
"Principal Zhang, you should know that I am not a soft-hearted person," said He Yuezhe.
"You should also know that I am not someone who would regret anything." Zhang Wanbai suddenly smiled.
He Yuezhe narrowed his eyes, remained silent for a moment, and then spoke: "Very good. In return, I will provide you with Laichun's corpse to make the Sleeping Fragrance."
"...Minglin, you've met Shan Lao San, so you probably already know that [Sleeping Fragrance] only works on [Deformed Species] and [Deformed Species Aliens]."
"So what?" He Yuezhe raised an eyebrow. "I'm happy to save you, all of you [Fusions], isn't that okay?"
"Ahem! As long as you're happy." Zhang Wanbai coughed so hard that she curled up into a ball. "I don't have much time left. Just ask whatever you want to ask."
"good."
"The first question is, what does [the sun] mean?"
"...False. As long as the world is illuminated by the [Sun], it is false."
"But recently, something seems to have gone wrong in this world. Overnight, ahem, it [created]... a second [sun]."
"Well, second question, what are the consequences of using [magic]?"
"Using [magic] will consume the [magician's] vitality and consume their [existence]."
"The third question is about the part of the [Rule] that was erased. Are [Magicians] [predators] or [protectors] of [Humanity]?"
"[Protector], [Magician] will not harm [Humans] without reason."
"What about the [seniors]?"
"To be precise, the [High-level] and [Humans] don't have a very direct relationship. As [deformed species], [they] can't be harmed by ordinary [Humans]."
"What's more, there are [city rules] protecting [them]."
"...Okay, fourth question: Is there any involvement of the higher-ups in the formulation of the city's rules?"
"yes."
"Fifth question, what does 'becoming a classmate' mean in the [Academy] [Rules]?"
"Ahem! Literally, join the [Academy], become a member of the [Academy], as a [Magician], and join us, ahem, to resist the [Higher-ups] together."
"Resist together...?"
"Minglin, you've been at the Academy for so long, you should already know the answers to these questions." Zhang Wanbai knelt on the ground, blood staining her robes. "Ask me now, isn't that unnecessary?"
"Unnecessary? How could that be!" He Yuezhe squatted down and lifted Zhang Wanbai's hood with a dagger. "Principal Zhang, I'm not the real audience for these words."
She showed her arm that had been cut open by a dagger long ago. In the blurred flesh and blood, on the bones, a tiny [communication] formation was flashing with a bright light.
“Sizzle——”
“Minglin, you—!?”
"Principal Zhang, hahahaha, the [seniors] would like to thank you very much for your explanation! In the future, when we have a complete grasp of the [city] and the [college], we will definitely reward you handsomely, haha ...
"You betrayed the Academy?!!"
"Principal Zhang, please don't say such harsh words." He Yuezhe closed the energy link of the formation and gently slashed Zhang Wanbai's face with a dagger with an innocent expression. "I am originally a [Deformed Species], so how can this be considered a betrayal?"
"You! No, Minglin, what did you do? Why can't I move?!"
"Principal Zhang, please, take my secret with you and die, okay?"
"laugh!!!!!"
"Ugh!!! NO!!!!!!"
"in addition……"
In addition, with you as the core, let me set up this formation to kill Yu Yuanxiang and Shan Honeysuckle.
The dagger pierced through the girl's open mouth, penetrated her entire head, and nailed it right in the center of the desk partition!
The girl's eyes widened, and two lines of physiological tears flowed from her eye sockets, stained with blood, and slid across the girl's palms.
“Ugh, uh ...
On the desk, there are version after version of the battle plan that the girl wrote day and night without closing her eyes. These are her last words written before she finally sees the light after struggling in nightmares for seven years.
Under the desk, there were wounds all over the girl's body, each one bleeding profusely. These were the last tears she had never shed, even when she was captured and witnessed the death of her best friends and relatives.
The curtains were drawn open, and outside the floor-to-ceiling window, the sun slowly rose over the horizon and over the desk. The warm light enveloped the girl's cold body and gradually swallowed her.
^
"Solved?"
"Yeah, it's solved."
"Then why are you still so unhappy? I thought something happened."
"No, it's just, it's just..."
"Why, is Minglin's heart finally softening?"
"Captain..." He Yuezhe frowned, "I just don't understand, is what I'm doing right?"
"'Right'?" Tang Xiqin turned around and said with a smile, "Minglin, you don't need to know whether you're doing it right or not, you just need to do it."
“…Even if everyone dies, is that okay?”
"certainly."
"Hey, that's enough, let's stop talking about this," Tang Xiqin held He Yuezhe's hand, "Let's go back to the [city] first and help them deal with the bodies of the [deformed species] and [deformed species variants]."
Because of the excitement, his hand that had just been trembling was held by the girl's rough and warm hand. He Yuezhe nodded, barely suppressing the corners of his mouth that wanted to rise, and said in a light voice: "Yeah!"
"—Wait! Can you slow down a bit? You're walking too fast, I'm so tired!!"
"Soon? Sorry, I haven't been back to the [College] for so long, I'm a little excited. How about you carry me on your back?"
"Fish! I don't want to carry you on my back anymore!"
"W-why? I'm not heavy, am I?"
"You're not heavy, but I'm a total road idiot! And with your level of direction, we don't know how long it will take us to reach our destination!?"
"My description is quite clear...?"
"Clear, you big fish head! What's with all that east, west, east, and fish? I'm already directionally challenged, and you still expect me to tell the difference?! That's simply bullying a fish too much, you can't care about a fish!!"
"Then, should I run slower?"
"That's right! By the way, our destination shouldn't be far away, I-"
"Captain, is that Yu Yuanxiang and... Shan Honeysuckle?"
“…”
"No, they are dead."
The words fell.
He Yuezhe raised the corners of his mouth.
The last step of the plan has finally been taken.
