Chapter 95: Are your eyes better than mine?
"Host, host!!!???"
"……what?"
"Why are you like a zombie???!!!"
Huh? I look like a zombie...?
But if someone wakes up at 4am, it's hard not to be a zombie, right?
He Yuezhe yawned again and looked at her purple face in the mirror. She had no choice but to pick up the towel on the sink and wipe it.
"Oh, what happened?" He Yuezhe looked at the face that was still as purple as a dead person, a little puzzled, "How about changing the face?"
"No, no, no, no, no!" Minglin suddenly screamed in her mind, "Go change your clothes! Quickly!! Otherwise, this body will really die!!!"
…
"So, this is not your body?" He Yuezhe put on the [college] uniform according to Minglin's instructions, opened the dormitory door, and asked as he walked.
"This, this is not important!!! As long as you know how to solve it, you don't need to know all that!" Minglin seemed a little unhappy.
He Yuezhe touched the skin of the body, which had rapidly healed within ten minutes, and said curiously, "Minglin, it's even more obvious now, isn't it?"
"You, you, you!!!! I never meant to hide this from you, I just never found the chance!" Ming Lin retorted. "Besides! It hasn't been a problem before. If I tell you directly, wouldn't that make me look stupid?!"
"Hmm...Okay, then, Minglin, can you tell me the secret of this body now?"
"I can only say one thing!"
"OK."
"That's right, let me be clear, this body originally belonged to a dead person. I didn't take it by force! And, I didn't do anything bad. This was just a coincidence—Ah!!"
"Oops, did I let it slip?"
"Hmph, no! This is a unique way of speaking that the system taught me! It says that speaking this way will create a sense of mystery and be fascinating!"
"Host, haha..."
"Oh, 'very mysterious' and 'fascinating', that sounds impressive. Why don't you teach me?"
"Host, I'm not..."
^
"You, Minglin, why do you bring so many jewelry?" Tang Xiqin stood at the door of the pavilion with her arms folded across her chest, looking up and down at He Yuezhe.
He Yuezhe smiled sweetly and replied, "I like it."
"...You'd better not let these things hold you back." Tang Xiqin gestured at her neck a few times and said.
"I know, it won't be a problem."
…
After all, it’s not her turn to take action!
However, the guards of the [Advanced] missions are so weak?
He Yuezhe stood aside, holding a large box in both hands, and watched Tang Xiqin shoot several arrows in succession, completely eliminating the dozen people surrounding the two of them in less than 10 seconds.
"Captain, you are so awesome." She praised slowly in the light and shadow.
Tang Xiqin held a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other, shook her hair, and walked over...
Just one kick!
He Yuezhe slightly turned sideways, and the guard behind her who was holding a long sword and very close to her was kicked five meters away!
"Quite clever, huh?" Tang Xiqin chuckled. "Did you have to wait until I arrived to discover it?"
"Hmm?" He Yuezhe tilted his head. "Captain, I only moved out of the way because I was afraid you would kick me."
"Oh." The girl responded coldly, then took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood remaining on the bowstring and arrow, and put it back on her back.
She then handed He Yue a shiny rope and said, "Take this with you."
He Yuezhe did as he was told.
Tang Xiqin walked into the castle: "Alright, let's go in quickly. Today's mission is limited to 6 hours, and one hour has already passed."
"good!"
…
Because only Tang Xiqin and He Yuezhe were on this mission, and Tang Xiqin seemed afraid that she would mess up, so she never let her take action, so He Yuezhe followed Tang Xiqin very naturally, "wandering" around idly.
"Captain, what are we here for?" She took a few quick steps, walked to Tang Xiqin's side, and leaned over to ask.
"Sending the [deformed alien] [home], isn't it obvious?" Tang Xiqin tilted her head slightly and asked back.
He Yuezhe narrowed his eyes and said, "Captain, according to the [rules], aren't we supposed to help [deformed species] [regenerate]?"
"What do you think is the difference between [going home] and [being reborn]?"
"Hmm... to be honest, it seems that there really isn't one. After all, they were all killed, so what difference does it make?"
"Yeah, there's no difference. Then why are you asking? You're so stupid."
After saying that, He Yuezhe stepped aside at Tang Xiqin's signal.
A long carpet was spread in the huge hall, with a blood-red color lingering on it. Silently, a layer of mist gradually spread.
"There's a trap, be careful!"
Beneath the two of them, a formation with extremely violent energy fluctuations suddenly appeared!
The girl's short hair was blown by the wind!
She drew out her bow and arrow, her gaze fixed coldly on the areas in the magic circle where energy fluctuations were strongest, then she quickly drew the bow and shot three arrows in different directions!
"...Are these the core of the formation?" He Yuezhe murmured while hiding behind Tang Xiqin, holding the big suitcase that Tang Xiqin had given her before she came.
This was the first time she had seen such a shocking magic circle with the [Transfer] feature!
It’s a pity that it was resolved too quickly and there was no time to sample and record it.
"Can you see the center of the formation?" After picking up the arrows, Tang Xiqin walked to He Yuezhe, pulled her up, and asked.
He Yuezhe nodded, excitedly pointing to the holes left by the arrows, and said, "[Transfer], [Corruption], and [Acid Erosion], these are the three properties of this magic circle, right?!"
"Damn it, can you act more realistically?" Tang Xiqin raised the three arrows in her hands.
"Host!!!!!"
"Ah, Captain, tell me first, am I right?" He Yuezhe saw that the three arrows, from left to right, were displayed as -
Arrows with arrowheads attached to their tails, arrows that were charred and bubbling, and arrows that were almost broken and peeling.
——It’s exactly the order of [Transfer], [Corruption] and [Acid Erosion]!
"What could be wrong?" Tang Xiqin sneered twice, and just when He Yuezhe wanted to observe these arrows closely, she immediately retracted them.
"Let's go upstairs and look for those little mice hiding here. Where did they run off to during this time?"
…
“Tick-tock.”
“Tick-tock.”
"Captain, there seems to be a sound of blood dripping?" He Yuezhe turned his head, pulled the corner of Tang Xiqin's clothes, and said.
“…”
"team leader?"
"Can't you see these disgusting tentacles?" Tang Xiqin shot another arrow, burning the tentacles to create a path large enough for two people to pass through.
"No, Captain, listen carefully, that sound should be coming from under our feet." He Yuezhe's voice became lower and she pointed to the darkness under their feet.
Although there were no [rules] [outside the city], Tang Xiqin asked her not to use [magic] even so, so the two could only rely on the faint light of the arrow to see clearly ahead.
"Under your feet?" Tang Xiqin squatted down and stopped talking.
There were no human voices or footsteps, but the sound of dripping blood that He Yuezhe had heard on the stairs suddenly became louder.
“Tick-tock.”
“Tick-tock.”
“Tick-tock.”
“Tick-tock!!!”
"Captain, are you okay!?"
He Yuezhe saw the intention of that energy and pulled Tang Xiqin up in time, and the two of them stepped aside.
"It can attack people, can use formations independently, and has the intention to hide..." Tang Xiqin whispered, "This is at least the goal of an [Advanced] mission, right?"
"Captain, isn't the level of our mission [Advanced]?"
"...Where did you see it?"
"It's in the 'Team Accepted Quests' section. It's the 'Castle Series' of the 'Advanced' quests, isn't it?"
"... Damn it, forget it. Just be careful. This mission might be a little tricky." Tang Xiqin covered her face with her hands, and her voice came out muffled.
"Captain, you know this is an advanced mission, don't you?" He Yuezhe tugged at her clothes again and asked, "Will I be a burden to you?"
"Shut up!"
"Oh, okay."
"Also, are you sure that the sound you heard was blood dripping?"
"Yes, I'm sure."
"Then, if it's not this floor that's oozing blood, then it must be some partition between the first and second floors of this castle, or in the staircase."
He Yuezhe squatted down and touched the floor of the second floor of the castle with his hand.
The not-so-sticky feel of the floor seemed a little strange, not like blood, not like water, and not like the slime dripping from tentacles.
"Captain, the space here seems to be wrong." She stood up, took the rocket from Tang Xiqin's hand, and burned the road.
Turning around, she saw Tang Xiqin just catching up with her.
"Your reaction is quite quick," Tang Xiqin said, "but it's still too dangerous to touch an unknown area with your hands. It's best to wear isolation gloves."
"I know." He Yuezhe nodded.
"First feel your way to the end of the corridor, deal with these tentacles, and then start searching, okay?" Tang Xiqin reminded.
"Uh-huh!"
"If a [Deformed Species] appears on this floor, we'll capture it on the spot. If not, we'll try to get to the mezzanine."
"Anyway, last but not least, be careful. If anything happens, come to me immediately. Never act on your own. Got it?"
"I know, I know!" He Yuezhe nodded again.
…
In the corridor surrounded by tentacles, sticky liquid and foul smell were wandering inside, and vaguely something hard fell down and hit the two people on the head.
“Tick-tock!!”
“Tick-tock!!”
The sound of dripping blood became more and more obvious, almost occupying He Yuezhe's entire hearing.
The wind was howling, and the passage, which was so narrow that only two people could pass by side by side, suddenly seemed empty.
"Is the rocket still burning?"
He Yuezhe felt her shoulders being patted gently a few times, but due to the "legends" she had heard in her own world, she could only nod silently in the darkness.
"It's still burning!" she replied. "It should be fine."
"I see."
"If it goes out accidentally, remember to come back and ask me for another one."
"Isn't that necessary?" He Yuezhe asked fearfully, "I can light it again myself."
"Oh, that's a solution. As long as it works, it's fine. It's up to you."
"Then, Captain..."
"what?"
"...I was wondering, do your eyes work better than mine?"
“Chi——!!!”
