Chapter 70 is out
Look carefully, this student is called Yu Zhong, he is sixteen years old and in the first year of high school.
He was kidnapped during physical education class by two elementary school students who were only as tall as his chest.
The two elementary school students who kidnapped him, wearing Chinese Taoist robes, looked like twins. The boy had a blank expression on his face, with his hair tied in a bun and a peach wood sword on his back. There was a little red between his eyebrows. The girl had two buns on her head and had the same face as the boy, but because of her lively expression, she looked very lively.
The twins' identical faces look really cute, or kawaii in the words of the two-dimensional world. I wish he could be this cute if he had a younger brother or sister.
Next to them was a young lady in a white dress with an apologetic look on her face and an uncle with strange makeup on who seemed to have fainted.
They don't look like a group of good people at all.
Yu Zhong: ...Is it too late for me to run now?
Although he looks cute, he can be lifted up with one hand after all.
This strength is totally unlike that of an ordinary primary school student, and the little girl's words "murder to silence the witness" are also unrelated.
"My life is over - figures and peripherals, see you in the next life -" He closed his eyes in fear.
"We were invited by your principal to perform."
Zhou Tianqi said this while holding the high school student.
Me: Eh?
"Take us to the principal's office now, and you'll find out."
I watched the high school student in front of me silently open his eyes, with an expression that clearly showed disbelief but not daring to resist.
"It's class time now..."
He whispered.
"It's free time now. Your teacher hasn't noticed this place at all. I promised you that I would really silence you." Zhou Tianqi looked around. The physical education teacher was sitting in the shade playing with a timer, while the other students were doing their own things.
Then I looked at the high school student in front of me and nodded with a look of grievance.
As expected of you, Zhou Tianqi, you are quite skilled at threatening people.
"To get to the principal's office, you have to cross the playground...you're a little too conspicuous."
Then I watched Zhou Tianqi make a hand gesture and said, "Let's go. They can't see us now."
"..." Wait a minute, are you trying to trick him? Some kind of magic trick?!
"ah?!"
Then I saw Zhou Tianqi tut impatiently, then pushed him to the front of the others, and then the classmate said: "Yu Zhong, what's wrong?"
Yu Zhong (tearful version): "...Can you see what's around me?"
Classmate: "Nothing. What are you talking about? Are you confused because of watching anime last night?"
Yu Zhong: "...?!"
Did he encounter real magic?! He's the only one who'll be seen?!
Is he really going to become the protagonist of some 2D anime?!
"Sometimes, brother, you can be quite sinister." I commented.
After confirmation, Yu Zhong walked ahead with a guilty look on his face, and we followed behind.
Then, because of his guilty conscience, he seemed to be stealing a lot. If Zhou Tianqi hadn't helped him hide his body, we would have been caught on the spot.
That’s why I say that Zhou Tianqi is sometimes quite sinister - because he hid Yu Zhong but didn’t tell him, making him suffer some fear.
This resulted in almost ten minutes having passed by the time Zhong took us to the principal's office.
"Principal." Just as Yu Zhong was about to knock on the door, the principal opened the door from the inside.
When we saw Yu Zhonghe behind us, we were obviously stunned.
"I'm Yu Zhong from Class 4, Grade 1. They're..." He paused, "They said you invited them to perform... Can you see them? It's not just my hallucination, is it?"
headmaster:……
Principal: "...Ah, yes, I invited you."
He tried to smile, and then Yu Zhong's expression became even more shocked.
"Thank you for your hard work, little classmate. I will tell your homeroom teacher. You should go back to class first."
Yu Zhong: "Oh...oh..."
He looked as if his worldview had been severely damaged.
…
"You're finally back." As the door closed, the principal looked at us with concern. "It's been two days since those two little masters entered the dormitory... I thought something happened to you too."
Zhou Tianqi and I looked at each other. We felt that we had solved the problem very quickly, but the speed of time flowing in the two worlds was actually different... If we were any later, my family would probably be worried to death.
"It's a good thing you all came out." He took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"It's been resolved. No more students will go missing." Zhou Tianqi told him, "It's just possible that all the previous students have been killed."
The principal was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Ah... I hope it won't happen again."
Then he opened the cabinet next to him and took out a bag. "This is what you left here... What happened to this Master Liu?"
He took out Liu Ke and Bai Zhi's things, and left some of their personal belongings with the principal, including the certificate of good fortune that he had previously given to Zhou Tianqi.
"Master is injured," Bai Zhi replied, "We need to get our things and go back quickly."
The principal nodded hurriedly and handed the things to them. Bai Zhi took the phone and just turned it on. After a pause, the phone rang.
A lot of information came in at once. After all, it had been five days since they came here.
"Hello... yes... we're out... we're all here... okay."
Then he hung up the phone and looked at the two of us.
She mainly looked at me, and I think she has some psychological trauma towards the protagonist now.
"Um, weren't you looking at your phones..." she said cautiously.
I:……
Thanks for the invitation. I completely forgot that Zhou Tianqi and I’s cell phones were in my bronze mirror.
You can't hear anything if you don't take it out.
"Who just called...?" I asked strugglingly.
“…It’s the Director.”
Okay, it’s my uncle, Zhou Tianqi and I deserve to be beaten.
It was half an hour later before the administration's car came to pick us up.
The driver is a member of the Zhou family.
"Master and Miss, we finally have some news. The old men at home are going crazy with worry..." the driver muttered as he drove. "Especially with an anomaly like the 'Upside Down Hanging Temple'. If it's any later, the whole family will have to go out."
Zhou Tianqi looked out the window without saying a word.
I was quietly chewing a lollipop next to him.
Whoever speaks first loses.
When we arrived at the entrance of the administration bureau, everyone was there: my second uncle, third uncle, youngest uncle, Jiang Wan, Yi Yun, grandma, and three people I didn’t know.
I heard Zhou Tianqi make a "tsk" sound.
"Zhou Tianqi, you've grown wings, haven't you—" As soon as he got off the car, he heard his uncle's full-throated scolding, "You're making trouble by yourself and bringing your sister with you! Do you think you can go to the abnormalities in the Black Book?!"
The third son of the Zhou family, Zhou Chengjin, usually stays at the General Administration and rarely comes back, but every time he comes back he will definitely beat Zhou Tianqi up.
I call it the protagonist nemesis.
The contemporary administration is the strongest.
"And you, Yingying, stop giggling. Did you not finish reading the book and don't know what the Black Book is?" Zhou Chengjin's face darkened when he saw me. "Your brother was messing around, and you didn't stop him? You just joined in his mischief, didn't you?"
I shrank my head.
"Okay, okay, third brother, the child just came back." The second uncle tried to smooth things over.
"Second brother, don't try to persuade Third Brother. These two kids are just making trouble. If we don't discipline them properly, how can we be worthy of our eldest brother and his wife?"
Damn it, it looks like Zhou Chengyu is not on our side.
Even Zhou Tianqi and I’s deceased parents moved out.
We looked at each other and felt that something was wrong. "Master Liu Ke is seriously injured. Second uncle, third uncle, fourth uncle, grandma, and brothers and sisters, let's go in first!"
I'll divert the fire first.
Then I saw Uncle San snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and came over to pick us up in one hand each and walked us inside.
…
After entering the hall, Liu Ke and Bai Zhi were taken to the medical room, and Zhou Tianqi and I were carried to the conference room.
When I arrived at the conference room, I found that there were not only these people, but also some other people I didn’t know sitting in the conference room. There was a projection on the screen in front of them, and many people were participating in the meeting online.
...He came out to beat me and Zhou Tianqi in the middle of a meeting, right?!
How can a complete childhood be complete without being beaten? Don’t you agree, host?
You just enjoy other people's misfortune, right?!
"Alright, everyone's here. Let's listen to our little genius's report." The voice of an old man with a sage-like demeanor came from the projection. "After all, this is the first time humanity has overcome the anomaly in the Black Book. This is a very good thing."
I looked at the curtain and saw that the person who was speaking was a middle-aged man with white hair and a youthful face.
Xuan Daozi.
Director General of the Administration.
The current owner of the Black Book.
Although I haven't read the "Black Book" much, I also know that this book is a book that appeared inexplicably. It can also be regarded as an anomaly. This book will choose its own owner and is not harmful at all. It is just a record and can be copied. Basically, the Administration or various families have a copy.
Records abnormalities that cannot be eliminated by humans. Once these abnormalities are eliminated, the records in the Black Book will also disappear.
...So everyone knew about it the moment the "Inverted Hanging Temple" disappeared.
Then review the most recent tasks.
My brother, Bai Zhi, Liu Ke and others were immediately exposed.
“…” I couldn’t even say such stupid things as we only found out after we went there, because Zhou Tianqi, who played the second game, must have known it a long time ago!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have let Liu Ke pay so much attention to it in the first place.
Zhou Tianqi put on a serious face, "Aying and I just happened to be restraining ourselves from the 'upside-down view'."
He pulled out a palm-sized carved wooden door from his bag. "The 'Inverted Temple' is essentially this door and a space. It was a living altar from thousands of years ago. The more people died inside, the stronger it became. But now everyone inside has been wiped out by my sister and me."
"Eliminate means—" someone asked.
"My sister and I carry the yang and yin fires within us, and the yin and yang forces are present in the Upside-Down Temple as well."
"Yang fire burns ghosts, and Yin fire burns □□." He turned the small door over, and I realized that it was all dark behind it. "So it all burned up."
...I know he is talking nonsense, but apart from the two of us, no one else knows how to crack it, and Yin Fire and Yang Fire can only be found in people with extremely yin and extremely yang destinies.
Besides, the "upside-down view" has disappeared now, so no one knows that he is talking nonsense.
Then I looked at Zhou Tianqi, who looked righteous and had no guilt at all.
I also felt justified.
"It seems that you and your sister are indeed the nemesis of the "Inverted Hanging Temple", but you should not be so reckless in the future." Xuan Daozi said, "Chengjin, your Zhou family is really enviable, having two such children." He stroked his beard and sighed.
Obviously he believed Zhou Tianqi's words.
Zhou Chengjin waved his hands quickly.
"The young lady from the Zhou family has just joined the Administration, right? I've heard about her strength. Will you come to the performance review meeting next week?" He instantly turned into a friendly middle-aged man.
I’ve heard something about it, but how did it come about…?
There's no way my heroic feat of blowing up a manure pit has spread throughout the entire Administration, right?!
I looked around warily, and no one had a strange expression.
You guys are pretending so well! Are you all laughing secretly in your hearts?!
[Host, you really seem guilty right now...]
If it were you, wouldn’t you feel guilty?
【……cough】
"Okay, General Administration, don't worry, I will definitely bring Yingying and Tianqi here. Remember to prepare the gifts for the meeting." Before I could say anything, Zhou Chengjin spoke first.
He rubbed our heads, one on each side. "After that, I'll take the kids home first. It's time for them to rest."
"Hahaha, I didn't expect that. The two kids have just solved the "Upside-Down View". It's time for them to have a good rest. You go back first." Xuan Daozi was stunned and nodded suddenly.
…
Then when we got home and got out of the car, before I could react, Zhou Tianqi grabbed my hand and ran away. Then I heard his voice chasing me from behind, "You little bastard, don't think I won't beat you up just because you're holding your sister—"
"And Zhou Tianying, just hang out with your brother—"
…
It's time to run, run faster.
If I were a real girl, my uncle might not beat me up, but how could they not know whether I was a real girl or not?!
