Chapter 120: Chapter 34 "New conditions for salvation: survive every...
"Host, the relationship between you and the mission target has changed to: a pitiful [scapegoat]."
"..." He Yuezhe was concentrating on avoiding the [sun] and running towards the [college]. When he heard this, his movements froze for a moment.
It seems that something big has indeed happened in the [College].
But, what does the school want to do with Minglin?
Since they can tell that they are not Minglin, then it means... what they actually want is Minglin's body as a deformed alien?
But what use can a deformed alien body have?
——"Killing one's own kind... Minglin has loved doing this kind of thing since she was a child."
Shan Lao San’s words came to He Yuezhe’s mind.
Could it be that the [Deformed Species] and [Deformed Aliens] in the [Academy] have started killing each other?
The school wants Minglin, a deformed alien from a family outside the city, to suppress them?
No, then why did they choose to suddenly start rioting at this time?
Is this a conspiracy? [They] want to take advantage of the opportunity to disintegrate [the academy] from within?
But in this case, what role can [Minglin] play?
Besides, [Scapegoat]...
"Captain, captain, are you still there?" He Yuezhe grabbed the eaves and climbed up easily, avoiding the patrol team below, and then took out the communication equipment from his waist bag again.
"...What's the matter? If you have something to say, just say it." Tang Xiqin's voice, accompanied by bursts of sharp electric sound, entered He Yuezhe's ears.
There was no pain like before. He Yuezhe just felt that her voice was a little soft, so he moved closer to the communication device.
"Is the school going to kill me?" He Yuezhe asked.
"..." After the crackling sound of electricity, a voice appeared again after a long time. "Yes, they will kill you."
"Then," He Yuezhe narrowed his eyes. His dry eyes, stained by sand, surprisingly didn't hurt at this moment. "Can I escape?"
"……sure."
"Captain, you lied to me."
"What? Haha, Minglin, yes, we lied to you, from the beginning to the end."
"Why?"
"It's this question again. I hate this question. I hate it. I really hate it."
"...Tang Xiqin."
"Why don't you call me captain anymore?"
"Tang Xiqin."
"Yeah, I'm here."
“…”
"What's wrong? Minglin, why are you still crying? Can you, ahem, can you be a little stronger mentally?"
Tears could no longer be controlled, sliding down her cheeks and dripping onto an ice bird on the eaves, melting it into a pool of clear water.
"...Tang Xiqin, you can't lie to me. Didn't we agree that from that day on, Tang Xiqin, you would never lie to me again?!"
"Tang Xiqin, tell me, please speak, why are you lying to me again?!"
“…”
"I know it's you! I know it's you!"
"Speak up! Tang Xiqin, speak up! Tell me you didn't lie to me, and that we will always be good friends. Tell me!"
“…”
“…”
There was silence on the other end of the line. He Yuezhe's hands trembled as he slowly reached towards his eyes.
"He Yuezhe."
Just as his fingertips were about to touch his eyeballs, the voice that He Yuezhe had been waiting for for a long time finally sounded again.
"He Yuezhe."
"Yes, I'm here!" He Yuezhe licked the blood off his fingertips and answered with his eyes closed.
"I always thought you were a complete lunatic, but later I discovered that you are actually a complete fool."
“…”
"He Yuezhe, we are all very similar, aren't we?"
“…”
"We have no home, no social connections, we are bullied, and each of us is a pitiful creature struggling to survive in that world."
“…”
"So, compared to the previous world, I think this world I imagined is happier, right?"
“…”
"I am here, everyone is here, but you are not here."
“…”
"He Yuezhe, I don't know who you are, nor do I know your past, but I understand you, and I know what you want to do."
“…”
"Go ahead and do it. Don't regret it. Take everyone's blessings and the flowers along the way and head towards the place you've been looking for."
"……fraud."
"Well, I'm a liar."
—— [Hey, I'm not a liar, I'm just an ordinary student.]
“…”
——[Student? Why are there students here? By the way, what's your name? Do you want to join my team?]
"Sure enough, you can see what I imagine and what is in my heart."
——[Join your team? Okay, nice to meet you. I'm Tang Xiqin, nice to meet you.]
“…”
——[Yeah, yeah! Nice to meet you too!]
“…”
——[Captain, is it okay to call me that? I have other things to do. Can we meet here tomorrow?]
——[Of course you can, but the Hummingbird Squad can't expect tomorrow, so you have to stay by my side obediently!]
——[What a weird rule you have... Never mind, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Lead the way, Captain.]
“…”
“…”
"...Tang Xiqin?" He Yuezhe asked tentatively.
"Understood, Captain."
"Hummingbird Squad, don't expect tomorrow."
"Then I'll have to quit the team."
"because--"
"Host, new conditions for salvation have been added. To achieve a "friend" relationship, you must also achieve the following:"
"——He Yuezhe, you must live well until every tomorrow!!!"
"Live to every tomorrow."
"beep."
"beep."
"beep."
"What a bad temper..."
The communication was disconnected.
On the eaves, the pool of water froze into ice again.
In the reflection of the ice, in the sky, a bird is slowly spreading its wings and breaking away from the ice.

"Junior Minglin, you're finally here."
“…”
"Junior Minglin, your eye seems to be injured. Do you need me to bandage it for you?"
"...Where is Ming Jiao?" He Yuezhe grabbed the boy's outstretched hand, broke it with force, and then asked with a calm expression.
"Host?!!! What are you doing?!!! You can't just break someone else's arm!!! No, how did you break it?!!! You're not a robot anymore?!!!!!"
"..." The young man struggled for a few times, and a hint of surprise flashed in his originally kind eyes. "Senior Ming Jiao, of course it has been handed over to the right person."
"What are you going to do with her body?"
"Junior Minglin, I advise you not to ask too many questions. Your eyes are damaged, but there are plenty of good eyes here."
“…”
"take me."
"Where are we going?" the boy asked doubtfully.
"Senior," He Yuezhe laughed, "Don't act crazy in front of me."
“Y-you!?”
"You're talking too much, Senior." He Yuezhe released the boy's hand, which was devoid of any energy fluctuations, and curled his lips in boredom. "A person who can give away his life core... is not worth my investigation."
"You figured it out?! I advise you to keep this secret hidden forever—mmmmmm???!"
"I should advise you, Senior, not to always pretend to be someone else, and then make up a pitiful life story for yourself, and then deceive others' sincerity."
Fortunately, Honeysuckle was not stupid and did not fall into this person's trap, otherwise she would have to spend time to rescue her.
He Yuezhe winked playfully, her bloodshot, sunken eyes making her look like a demon. "Those fake life cores will kill them, you know?"
"You're talking nonsense!" The boy's expression changed again and again, from an innocent face to a ferocious one. "I've never given them a fake life core!!"
"Ah, now that you mention it, Senior, you really are a [Deformed Species]!!"
He Yuezhe kicked the boy to the ground, stood up and shouted loudly.
"Senior, you sneaked in, secretly killed the [students], and then used those [students'] life cores to curry favor with other [students], is that correct?"
“Beep!!”
Before He Yuezhe could finish his words, strange noises rang out from all around!
"You, you're going to kill me! Minglin, you clearly—Mmmmmmm!! Minglin! You're going to die a horrible death! You bitch!!!"
"Don't you think I don't know what you've done?! When I'm [reborn], I'll definitely bring your reputation to ruin!! I'll, I'll let those [abnormal species] you once looked down upon slowly [devour] you, bite by bite!!"
“Chi!”
"Minglin!!!! I want you to die!!! ...
“Chichichichichi!!”
"Minglin--!!! Damn it!!! You didn't even save me!!!? Damn it, damn it!!!! Minglin, I will definitely report you to the Family, report you!!!! I will make sure you can't even hold your head up in the Family anymore--"
“Chichichichichichichichichichichichichichi!!!!!!”
Along with the heart-wrenching screams of the thing on the ground, its blood vessels began to explode violently one by one in a strange electric wave that came from nowhere!
Disgusting but non-sticky liquid gurgled out of its blood vessels and enveloped its entire body in the blink of an eye!
The bottomless rotten scar on its shoulder was also swallowed by the liquid!
"So, for someone like you, whose whole heart and brain are filled with malice, when you die, you'll have nothing left but curse words?"
He Yuezhe was very puzzled. After all, she rarely saw people who were so malicious towards her.
"Unlike those [Deformed Species], at least they will spurt blood when they die." He Yuezhe sighed, picked up the few life cores that flowed out of the creature's corpse, and then kicked the corpse into the fountain nearby. "Well, but it's good. This way you can also spurt blood."
"Host, are you sure this won't trigger a new round of panic in the Academy?! A fountain of blood! It's scary!!"
"It's obviously very beautiful, how can it be scary?"
“W-Where isn’t this scary?!!! I’m almost scared to death!!!”
"Then you're going to die soon."
“…?”
"A liar is a puppy."
"Host, I'm really dead! Puff, puff, puff, puff!!"
^
"grown ups……"
"how?"
"My lord, His appetite has been growing. With the current replication speed of the Family, I'm afraid that in a few days, He will..."
"So what?"
"The demand is outstripping the supply... My Lord, you've only come back once in such a long time. Previously, due to your status, you couldn't see Him. But now that you've regained your status, how about you...?"
"You want me to die?"
"Hey, hey, hey, sir!! I dare not, it's just, it's just... we really have no other choice. Everyone is busy clarifying the rumors in the city, and you are the only one who has time..."
"Wait, what are you talking about, rumors in the city?"
"Yes, sir, didn't you just come back from there? Didn't you hear anyone talk about it?"
"Tsk, those idiots must be afraid of making me angry, so they don't dare to tell me anything! Even when I asked about the current situation of the [family], they just knelt down and begged for mercy!!"
"Sir, please calm down! This rumor is about us [deformed species]..."
"Go on."
"Oh, it's just some slanderous words against us, sir, please don't worry about it, we will clarify it!"
"If it's slander, do humans believe it now or not?"
"grown ups……"
"I told you to say it!!!"
"Believe it, believe it, they all believed it! The [Humans] said we must be guilty, so we only dared to clarify in the newspapers and not show up in public. Now, now most of them have turned against us...!!"
"Waste! Waste!! Every one of you is waste!!! Get out, get out right now!!!"
"My lord, my lord! My lord, you must remember to go find Him! Otherwise, if He gets angry, our family will be in trouble!!!"
"I know!! Do I need you to tell me!!! Get out of here!!!"

Although the guide was a bad guy with ulterior motives, He Yuezhe still remembered the girl she met on the way back to the dormitory when she first entered the college.
That girl and the teacher who asked her what course she wanted to choose seemed to have mentioned "pet keeping"?
He Yuezhe also inquired about it later, but he heard that there was only one teacher teaching the pet breeding course in the [College]. So if nothing unexpected happened, the [Deformed Species] and [Deformed Species Aliens] rioted, and the teacher who taught the pet breeding course would definitely be present.
She was a little worried about her.
After turning on [Energy Visualization], He Yuezhe quickly discovered the place where the energy fluctuations of the [Substitute Paper Man] were most intense.
…
“Chi——!”
"Everyone, stand back! They seem to be gathering strength. This attack might be stronger than any before!"
Before entering the area covered by the protective shield, He Yuezhe heard the girl's familiar and serious voice.
"Hurry, hurry up! Try to retreat as far as—"
The girl sounded obviously tired, but just as He Yuezhe forced his way into the protective shield and threw the [Rule] dagger at those [Deformed Species] and [Deformed Aliens], her voice suddenly stopped!
“Chi——!!!!”
“Ugh!!”
