Chapter 28 Urgent Mission
After I followed Yu Huaiyue and another seemingly quiet senior named Li Mingxi out and headed to the so-called mission point, I realized that Lin Luoan and I had been fooled.
Isn’t this just “three sentences and I’ll make the incarnation of the evil god work for me”?
I feel like I'm working for a black-hearted company without signing a contract or receiving five social insurances and one housing fund. These ten years of student life have made me lazy, which means I have lost a lot of the sense of being a student.
"So this junior is the Villar." Yu Huaiyue was amazed all the way, looking at Lin Luoan like he was a monkey, and looking back and forth between me and Lin Luoan from time to time.
"No wonder the instructor dared to let you two join us. If you were Villar, there would be no problem."
"Why do you say that?"
I know Lin Luoan is a good fighter, but why do they seem to know that too? What's going on? Am I not here on a mission? Why do I feel like an outsider? Tong, how come you don't know anything about this world?
[…Ahem, this world is special… And actually, I don’t know as much about the previous world as you think. How much information I know depends on the feedback from the world consciousness…]
[In the previous world, the protagonist was doted on, so he told me everything, big or small. But in this world...]
I understand. The protagonist has no father and no mother to love him and relies entirely on himself. Now I think that the world cut out the protagonist's brain, maybe it was a personal grudge.
...After all, the protagonist is the pillar of the world, but it is also because of the existence of the protagonist that the group of gods who will break the world have the opportunity to come, so it is better to cut the brain and give it to me, the second party who comes to do the work.
I guess this world's consciousness has a love-hate relationship with its brother.
I feel like I accidentally knew something I shouldn't have known.
"Maybe it's because I'm a good fighter." Lin Luoan thought for a moment, then whispered in my ear, "Villar is another me. I'm Xiaoyu's older brother."
Well, there is no need to compete with yourself.
"You're too modest, junior. We investigators have a special file for you on your deeds, and we even have some fans of yours."
"What happened? A 10-year-old Asian kid lifted a bus with one hand and destroyed a cult ritual with his bare hands."
"There's also the Yellowstone National Park spring gushing out, and the mysterious black shadow descending and being torn apart instantly."
"A fire breaks out in a Las Vegas casino, and the terrifying tentacles smell like grilled squid."
…
I:……
Wait a minute, bro, didn't you really join some mysterious organization back then? What's all this news? You haven't been taken for autopsy yet, and you're even here with your body intact as my roommate. Don't you find this dull campus life too boring?
It turns out that the past eighteen years of my life have been peaceful and tranquil, and it was the protagonist who was carrying the burden and moving forward——
I apologize for my past complaints about living an ordinary life.
I am also grateful for the hard work I put into practicing martial arts, even though it seems now I can’t even match a punch from my brother.
…I can’t bear to think that if his brain were in his body, this novel might not have started until now.
So why did you send me here?
[…Of course, because this world could be destroyed! The world revealed to me that one of the possible scenarios is that the protagonist becomes a true evil god, descends into this world, then opens the door for other evil gods to enter, and then the world explodes.]
…
Sounds like something a world-weary lunatic would do.
But my brother is acting like a naive person now, maybe this is what it means to be cute but not brainless.
It's good to be brainless.
I gave him a loving look.
————————————————
"We're here." Li Mingxi stopped first. This senior sister who had not participated in our discussion along the way stopped in front of a barbecue restaurant. It was not yet time for the barbecue restaurant to officially open, but there were already many people queuing up at the door.
I know this barbecue restaurant. I think it was on the list of recommended restaurants near the school.
So this is a cult den?!
Then I watched Li Mingxi go and get a number with ease. For a moment, I didn't even know whether she was really here to eat barbecue or to crack down on a criminal den.
"We're not here for a barbecue," Yu Huaiyue explained calmly. "This is to avoid alerting the enemy."
I nodded, my expression a little solemn. After waiting in line for two hours, we finally sat down and watched Li Mingxi start ordering food.
"...Are we really not here for barbecue?" I asked.
"Sister Xi, are we really not here for barbecue?" Yu Huaiyue looked a little overwhelmed, which made his previous explanation seem like a joke.
Lin Luoan: “…”
Lin Luoan hesitated to speak.
Li Mingxi finally looked up at the three of us and said, "What's the point of coming to a barbecue restaurant and not eating barbecue?"
She took a sip of tea and said, "Why fight if you're not full? We're not here to reason."
…
I was persuaded, but decided to eat less out of caution.
Thinking about the previous incident when Lin Luoan carried me to the planetarium after dinner and fought with me, I should be more cautious this time.
But you have to admit (chew chew chew) this barbecue (chew chew chew) is really (chew chew chew) quite delicious (chew chew chew).
【Host, you...】
"Xiaoyu, eat slowly." My brother looked at me with an expression full of maternal love and handed me paper.
Yu Huaiyue said beside him, "Tsk tsk tsk, to be honest, when Director Xue said you two just met at the beginning of the school year, I didn't believe it. Now I believe it."
"I have a younger brother who just wants to fight with me all day long. Siblings who grew up together would never be like you two."
Lin Luoan disagreed, "Even if Xiaoyu and I grew up together, it would definitely be like this now."
I think so too, after all, I'm not a real child.
By the end of the meal, Li Mingxi was the only one who hadn't put down his chopsticks, and there were almost no people left in the restaurant.
After Li Mingxi finally put down his chopsticks, I suddenly realized that the surroundings were a bit too quiet.
It's eight o'clock in the evening, which should be the busiest time. Why is there no sound at all?
I reached out to grab Lin Luoan, but missed.
Lin Luoan next to me was an illusion. Only then did I realize that I seemed to have fallen into an illusion without knowing when.
Is it a smell or some kind of spell?
I reached out and put on the glasses that were hanging on my clothes.
He watched calmly as a group of people in black robes surrounded the four of us at our table.
"New 0's glasses" I knew you would be useful!
I pretended to be still hallucinating, but Lin Luoan took action.
His eyes turned into starry sky. I don’t know whether it was Villar who showed it on his own or Lin Luoan asked him to do so, but the two of them seemed to be able to switch and communicate seamlessly recently. He lifted me up on his shoulder and slammed his fist on the table. Yu Huaiyue and Li Mingxi woke up almost instantly.
He swept back, and I felt the muscles of his shoulders press against my stomach again.
Haha, I knew it.
"Put me down." I urgently stopped Lin Luoan from carrying me to fight, quickly picked up the book with my right hand, and blocked the knife flying from the side.
...Why are there still long-range weapons!
Then I watched Li Mingxi pull out two guns from behind his waist.
My lord, times have changed.
But this group of black-robed men were obviously well prepared. To be honest, this was the first time I saw so many spells flying around in real life, just like special effects in a movie.
Their shields blocked almost all attacks.
Lin Luoan and I were standing back to back. How should I put it? Ever since I took out the Book of Omniscience, these black-robed men seemed to be moving a little further away from me.
I took a silent look.
Yes, who wouldn’t be scared if there was a book with muscular arms and elbows as thick as a waist?
"Junior, your book is quite unique." Yu Huaiyue's voice came from the side. He also had a book in his hand, but it was obvious that his looked like an orthodox magic book.
All the spells that come out of it are serious magic.
As for me.
"Do you fight yourself?"
The Book of Omniscience gives me a thumbs up.
Then I saw what full automatic meant - the pages of the book opened and a bunch of tentacles rushed out, then trapped the black-robed man opposite, and then the hand went up and hit him twice, and then the black-robed man's head tilted and there was no movement.
Everyone: ...
I:……
I'm sorry, my magic book is a little violent.
I also saw Yu Huaiyue look at the book in his hand in horror.
It seems that we have the upper hand, but for some reason, this group of black-robed people seem to be tireless, like locusts, which always feels weird.
"Someone is setting up something underground." Lin Luoan glanced down and frowned, "Xiaoyu, can you see where it is?" He obviously also noticed the glasses on my face.
But my glasses... damn, they can actually see?!
I looked in the direction Lin Luoan pointed, and there were a lot of energy balls with obviously different colors.
"Under the front desk, brother, can I go straight there?"
Lin Luoan nodded. Although he now had starry eyes, he was obviously still his usual self. He reached out and put his arm around my waist, lifting me up like a sack.
Then he jumped directly to the front desk.
"Seniors!" I didn't forget to call Yu Huaiyue and Li Mingxi.
Lin Luoan stepped down directly, and I heard the sound of the stone cracking. Then I saw a hole under his feet. He picked me up and jumped down.
...What is the protagonist's combat power?
Then we fell and hit the magic circle in the middle.
My feet felt a little sticky and I couldn't think about what I was stepping on.
It's a bit too quiet around here.
I looked at the black-robed people around me and they were obviously different from the ones above.
"The container of my god—"
The leading man in a black robe embroidered with gold edges walked forward, not caring at all that the four of us were stepping on their altar. He reached out and cut his wrist. If Lin Luoan hadn't pulled me, the blood would have splattered on my face.
"You are the unspeakable, the inexpressible, the One to whom all things return to one, the Master of time and space..."
The Book of Omniscience hit him on the head with a punch, and he fell down.
Are you kidding? If we let you finish reading it at this time, we will be the ones in trouble.
I looked at the black-robed people around me who were obviously stunned, and calmly took out my phone, "Let's call the police."
"Junior——"
Yu Huaiyue quickly snatched my phone away, "Sister Xi is the police!"
This was probably the first time Li Mingxi had seen someone so skilled at calling the police. "Ah... Oh! It's me."
She even stuttered a little when she spoke.
"Everyone get down, any rebels will be shot on the spot!" She pointed her gun at the group of people below, and the three of us blocked the surrounding doors in tacit understanding.
There weren't many people in the basement, only about a dozen or so. Perhaps because the leading man had already fallen, the remaining people didn't seem to have any desire to resist.
It's very strange...
Before I could figure it out, my arms were held tightly behind my back.
Behind me is Lin Luoan.
【You, □□□】
My grass————————————
In just a moment, one of the gems on the bracelet on his left hand shattered, and the hand that was holding me loosened.
"Xiaoyu!!!"
Tears welled up in his eyes, and one of his eyes turned golden.
