Chapter 102: Invitation to the Sixteenth Round (including rules)...
“Ding-ling-ling——”
The loud doorbell rang, startling He Yuezhe, who was lying in bed in a daze after being woken up by the system.
Three weeks have passed since the last mission. During this time, He Yuezhe was either attending classes or secretly investigating the world.
This also caused her to be unable to sleep at night because she was always thinking about too many things.
Fortunately, the system is willing to act as an alarm clock, otherwise she would probably have to sleep until the end of time.
Hey, I have to go on a secret mission with Tang Xiqin and the others in a few days, and I don’t know if I can complete it while staying awake.
"Host, I remember you weren't going to be participating in their mission today. With no classes scheduled, who would come to see you?"
"Are you here to deliver breakfast?" Qu Biexing poked his head out of his "simple" crib and asked with a confused look on his face.
“Host, Host!! It can actually hear me talking aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, this is so scary aa ...
"It seems like our Qubiexing used to have a good life," He Yuezhe rubbed his eyes, stood up, put on his coat, and went to open the door. "We even had breakfast delivered to our doorstep."
Tsk, why does my arm suddenly hurt so much?
"Squeak."
She pushed the door open.
What came into view was an empty corridor.
“Ding Dong.” “Ding Dong.” “Ding Dong.”…
"Strange..." He Yuezhe murmured, retracting the daggers stabbed into the walls on both sides of the door. "Why would he leave so quickly..."
"...a letter?"
She closed the door, checked everything, and then opened the obviously exquisite envelope pierced by the dagger.
——[To: Minglin]
[Please go to the ceremony hall in the city to attend the dance at 8 o'clock in the evening on the day you receive this letter.]

“Ding-ling-ling——”
"Hey, Honeysuckle, why don't you open the door?" Zhang Chanyi called out to Shan Honeysuckle, who had already walked to the door, and said, "At this time... I guess it's still an invitation to the [Dance]."
"But, Chan Yi, do you remember the schoolgirl who came here to see me a few days ago?" Shan Rendong turned around and frowned. "She is very outstanding and must have received an invitation."
"I can't, I can't let her go to the dance alone..."
"You mean Minglin?" Zhang Chanyi asked, eyes wide open. "But she just started school, how come she was invited?!"
“Ding Dong.” “Ding Dong.” “Ding Dong.”…
"It seems she took the third path for the entrance exam," Shan Rendong tugged at the hem of her uniform, tears nearly filling her eyes. "Before, those who took that path... not all, not all..."
"Hey! Honeysuckle, don't cry!" Zhang Chanyi came over and gently hugged Shan Honeysuckle, his voice anxious, "If you're really worried, we can go together!"
"With you and me here, nothing serious will happen! Okay? Honeysuckle, stop crying!"
"Chan Yi, Chan Yi... I'm really worried about her," Shan Rendong held back a smile, wiped away the tears on her face, and buried her head on Zhang Chan Yi's shoulder, "I've watched helplessly, watched..."
"Honeysuckle..."
"I watched my brother die right before my eyes... How could I have just watched my brother die...? I regret it so much, I regret it so much..."
"If I didn't exist, my mother wouldn't die, my brother wouldn't die...that family...that family wouldn't, wouldn't—"
"Honeysuckle, it's okay, it's okay, I'm here, I'll be with you, just stop thinking about those people, okay?"
Zhang Chanyi said with a serious expression, "They are all bad people. They all deserve to die! Rendong, stop blaming yourself."
"You can't let your bright future be hindered by these people."
"Honeysuckle, look me in the eyes and tell me you're going to be okay, okay?"
“I, I…”
Shan Rendong raised her head and looked at Zhang Chanyi's overly beautiful eyes with tears in her eyes.
She had to lower her head again, her voice trembling more than ever: "I'm sorry, Chan Yi... I can't do it... I can't do it..."
I cried so hypocritically, why did you always comfort me with all your heart?
Because you pity me?
But Chan Yi, I really can't do it. I have been tied to my mother all my life.
——I want to avenge her! ! I want to avenge her! ! !
Those hateful [Deformed Species] who deserve to die even more than me, I will definitely kill you with my blood, I definitely will!!!
I will dig out your hearts and drink your blood!!!
I want you to see clearly that those who you have treated as [commodities] and [containers] all your life will always be more powerful than you! ! ! ! !

“Ding-ling-ling——”
"Captain, someone's ringing the doorbell." Yu Yuanxiang called to Tang Xiqin, who was still lying in bed, "Do you want to go open the door?"
"Your friend?" Tang Xiqin put down the book in her hand and asked doubtfully.
"No." Yu Yuanxiang shook her head.
"Damn it, isn't that an invitation to the ball?" Tang Xiqin rolled her eyes at her. "Are you really addicted?"
"I heard from Shan Honeysuckle that after you came back from the last [Dance], you kept talking about wanting to go again."
"What's so fun about the dance? I really don't understand you."
“Ding Dong.” “Ding Dong.” “Ding Dong.”…
"Because fighting is fun, Captain."
Yu Yuanxiang blinked, and seeing that Tang Xiqin no longer stopped her, she rushed out, picked up the invitation, and rushed back.
"It usually takes a long time to defeat a [Deformed Species], and I'm really itching to do it."
"Anyway, I'm not going." Tang Xiqin turned over and said, "You'd better... ahem, if you want to go, go!"
"Captain, haven't you been suspended recently?" Yu Yuanxiang leaned over, patted the person wrapped in the quilt, and asked quietly, "Come with me to the [Dance] to train?"
"Do you know that the Dance is—"
"Wait, you weren't this attentive to me the last time, were you? This time you're acting so abnormally. Tell me, what do you want to ask of me?"
Tang Xiqin immediately understood Yu Yuanxiang's little thought.
Yu Yuanxiang was also a little surprised. She didn't expect that the captain, who usually had a bad temper, would actually ask her what was going on this time.
"Captain, Minglin will most likely be selected, so I want to go and protect—"
Before she could finish her words, Yu Yuanxiang was covered on the bed by an enormous pillow.
"Fuck you!" Tang Xiqin suddenly yelled, "I never want to hear that name again in my life! It's only been a few days, and we're meeting again!!! This is so annoying!!!"
"Captain, you and Minglin...? Captain, it's been a week. Did anything happen between you and her?" Yu Yuanxiang asked, pushing the pillow away with difficulty.
"I just told her to stop associating with Honeysuckle!" Tang Xiqin angrily punched the pillow she was hugging in front of her and said, "She didn't listen and she's still mad at me!"
"Captain, what do you want to do?"
"What else can I do?!... I don't eat cold dishes..."
"Hmm? Captain, what did you say?"
“!!!”
"Did you hear something wrong?! I, I didn't say anything!!!"

“Ding-ling-ling——”
“Here I come!”
"Squeak."
"Hey...no one?"
Ming Jiao has been sick recently and felt dizzy. For a moment, he really couldn't react to what was happening.
"Ming Jiao, check your mailbox quickly."
"The mailbox is here... Is there anyone sending me a letter?" Ming Jiao followed the instructions of Tianyin, who had been with her for a long time, and slowly moved over to open the mailbox.
——A letter that she seemed to have seen before was placed neatly in the middle of the mailbox.
"Yes, Ming Jiao, this is the 18th letter I have sent you."
"You... ? Why did you send me a letter?" Ming Jiao was puzzled, but she still picked up the letter and returned to her room.
Ming Jiao opened the envelope bit by bit, and smaller envelopes, the contents of which could never be seen, appeared.
"Oh, because I want you to come dance with me. It's a fun activity and you'd love it, right?"
"But... school has been open for more than two weeks now, and it's time for me to prepare for the election as a judge for this competition." Ming Jiao sighed regretfully and said, "I appreciate your kindness, but I'm afraid I'll have to break my contract this time."
"You! Ming Jiao, have you thought it through?"
"Have you thought about it...? Well, I don't know, but I don't think I have time to dance with you."
Ming Jiao's head became increasingly dizzy, and she felt like she was about to fall to the ground.
"By the way, my friends also invited Minglin. You know her, she's your cousin, right?!"
"Minglin?... Well, she's my cousin. I haven't seen her for a long time, and I really miss her."
Ming Jiao nodded, she held onto the desk and tried her best not to fall down.
"Then come quickly! Come to the [Dance]! Then you can be reunited!!"
"[Dance]...? Okay... Then I-"
"Bang--!!"
