Chapter 78 Sixteen Years Old
"Oh! It's my turn!" Xu Jiaxin shook his head and walked forward.
"Don't make it sound like it's a round-robin battle—" I made a sword flower. There weren't many people left on the field. Zhou Tianqi and I didn't use any killer moves. No one was serious.
Eighty percent of the people came just to beat Zhou Tianqi.
So basically everyone went there for him.
——What a terrible popularity.
"Director Zhou asked me to test my sister's skills." Xu Jiaxin took out a nunchaku from behind, turned it in his hand and turned it into a long stick.
...Wearing a suit and wielding a long stick, do the people in the Authority like this contrast?!
Wouldn't this make Zhou Tianqi and I seem abnormal because we're too normal?!
"That's my sister." Before I could make a move, Zhou Tianqi next to me swung a sword in front of Xu Jiaxin like a gust of wind. His long stick was against the sword, and a violent blue flame burst out from his sword.
The impact pushed Xu Jiaxin ten meters away from me.
Okay.
Ever since Zhou Tianqi was given the glove, he has become more unscrupulous in using fire.
"Hey, hey, hey—I already told you I'm here to test my sister... Tianying's skills." Xu Jiaxin's smiling face was about to break. "You little pervert, please don't come and make trouble, okay?"
Zhou Tianqi didn't listen at all, and the two of them had exchanged hundreds of moves in an instant.
I took one look, then looked at the rest of the group.
He rushed forward with a sword and a talisman.
Others:?
Half an hour later, Zhou Tianqi and I were the only ones left standing on the field.
"Did you have fun?" he asked me.
I thought about it and raised my sword. "I'm happy, but I want to beat you up."
He paused, then forced a rather villainous smile. "Ah Ying, you don't really think you can beat me, do you?"
...Now that he knows I am his younger brother, his attitude towards me has subtly changed.
He's never smiled at me like that before?!
【Oh, this is what a man is like.】
Our swords clashed, and I showed him no mercy.
The ten swords behind him rushed towards him in an instant, accompanied by red flames. The flames were raging and were comparable to his blue fire.
Everyone else thought that these two kinds of fire were the fire that came naturally with us, but no one knew that we had secretly switched the flames.
After all, only the two of us know what Yin Fire and Yang Fire actually look like.
Zhou Tianqi is really strong.
He is much more familiar with these two types of fire than I am. It seems that we are unable to do anything to each other, but in fact, he is giving me a break.
But I didn't ask Villar to come out either.
I'm also releasing water.
After rounding off, we are still tied.
[…I really appreciate the host's optimistic attitude.]
Shut up.
"Aren't you going to use the Fallen Angel?" He looked at the mirror on my waist. I raised my eyebrows, threw the sword in my hand, and rushed towards his face, followed by my fist.
The moment the blue and red flames canceled out, three more swords appeared from my talisman behind him, and he had no way to avoid them.
I punched him in the face.
Well, I avoided the vital points and didn’t want to disfigure Zhou Tianqi.
He flew out.
"I can beat you away without me." I rubbed my fists.
Then it fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
According to the principle of "there is smoke but no harm", I crossed my swords with both hands to block Zhou Tianqi who suddenly appeared from nowhere.
"It's still a little weak." He commented, "It was fine before when you acted like a spoiled child and didn't want to practice left-hand sword."
He slapped my left wrist with a knife-like hand. "But this time, go back and practice well. I will personally supervise you."
I:?
He easily snatched the sword from his left hand.
No, you really do like your sister more, right?! There's no harm without comparison.
I stopped.
"No more fighting!"
I said it through gritted teeth, my vision darkening at the thought of returning to my leisurely life away from me.
When I think about how all this is because of that "Hundreds of Faces", my teeth are about to break.
I stopped and he stopped moving too.
Then he wiped his hands on himself, came over and took my hand, and said, "Now that you've had enough fun, let's go home."
…
Finally, Zhou Tianqi and I took the high-speed train back home with Zhou Chengyu, holding the two trophies.
Zhou Chengjin stayed in the General Administration to clean up the mess.
I didn't have to go back so soon, but my seal can't wait any longer—
No, don’t I have a prop?
Where's my "gender-confusing agent"?
[It works, it works, but it only confuses gender, so it's useless if you're locked in—you still have to seal it.]
[But it's enough for those exceptions that can't lock you. ]
...So how many of them can lock onto me?!
【Not many, just two.】
Regarding the top two in that book, I think it would be faster if you asked the protagonist.
[By the way, both of them are worth 1 million points~ This is a special bonus from the world consciousness. The Qidian world is rich!]
So I used the potion. Zhou Tianqi looked at me for a moment and said, "You..."
"Wei helped me cover up...my gender." I whispered to him.
With Verar's identity as a fallen angel, many of my system items have explanations.
When in doubt, throw it to Villar.
He frowned and looked me over carefully from head to toe. "Don't trust the Fallen Angels too much. Many of them...will become anomalies."
"If you trust them too much, you will be in great pain when they betray you one day."
He looked at me and said this very seriously.
It seemed like he was talking to me, and also like he was talking to himself.
So, did Zhou Tianqi really commit suicide in the first episode?
——————————————
And so six years passed.
My seal was very stable after being reinforced, and my ability to cut off anomalies became more and more stable. However, after that, neither of us ever saw any anomalies in the Black Book again.
Or perhaps Zhou Tianqi consciously led me away.
Then, because we won first place in too many exchange conferences, Zhou Tianqi and I were both ordered not to participate in the exchange conference rankings. Even because of him, many people started to avoid me.
...He is fully responsible for the damage to my reputation.
Then the principal actually allowed us to enroll in school smoothly.
My campus life is more exciting than I thought.
The campus life of girls and boys is really completely different.
However, because of our gender, Zhou Tianqi and I asked the principal for a backdoor, and were admitted to the fully enclosed boarding school as special day students, without living in the dormitory.
Wearing women's clothes is one thing, but living with girls is really perverted.
Then, today, Zhou Tianqi and I finished the college entrance examination.
…
[This commentary is very youthful and has a different style.]
Actually, we don't need to take the college entrance examination. The administration has a special research institute that can directly recommend us.
——By the way, the high school student Yu Zhong we met before is now in the research institute of the administration.
Perhaps it was because we opened the door to a new world for them that they studied diligently, discovered the other side of this world, and then became a part of it.
Now he is one of the liaisons between the two of us, and his main role is that of a middle school boy who never gives up.
"Did you sneak some fried chicken?" Zhou Tianqi looked me up and down. "You're fatter than last week."
I:……
Are your eyes rulers?!
"It's edema." I replied with a smile, "I'm not a muscle-brained person like you. I don't need to maintain that inhuman body fat percentage, and as a normally developing teenager, I don't need to maintain an extremely clean diet."
Zhou Tianqi glanced at me again and said, "We are the same height, but you are several times smaller than me."
He didn't say the rest, but I knew what he wanted to say.
"Brother, I'm 1.8 meters tall and it's already difficult for me to wear women's clothes. If I were the same size as you, people would be able to see right away that I'm a cross-dresser."
My heart bleeds when I talk about this.
Because my body is a replica of Zhou Tianqi, it has an excellent inverted triangle shape for a man, with a large body, 1.8 meters tall, and long legs.
But I want women's clothing.
My fate is not yet determined, so I have to continue wearing women's clothes.
——So I had to spend 10,000 points every month to redeem "advanced plasticizer" without any side effects from the points mall starting from the time Zhou Tianqi entered puberty.
My points are being spent like water, and I don’t know how long they will last.
But thanks to my height, no men shorter than me will give me love letters now, so Zhou Tianqi has fewer reasons to get angry and give me extra training.
I'm really about to turn into a muscular crossdressing gorilla!!
I can't bully my own aesthetic anymore.
“…” Zhou Tianqi was convinced by me.
He looked me up and down again and reluctantly kept his mouth shut.
Very good, it’s best for a man to just keep his mouth shut.
"Come with me to Xiangxi during the summer vacation." He mentioned the mission to Xiangxi - that was the place he wanted to take me six years ago, but some accidents happened along the way and the entire area was closed.
And it is hard to say that this change is a good one - Zhou Tianqi did not experience this change in the first round.
"I didn't dream about this," he said, "because I had already gone on this mission before the debriefing meeting started, but this time I wanted to take you with me."
According to the investigation, the problem is inside the anomaly. With a deep mountain in western Hunan as the center, the area within a radius of 100 miles is completely closed off and no one can get in. Drones and satellites can't see anything either.
Until six years later, that is, a month ago, the seal disappeared.
Then hundreds of young women disappeared from the area.
That is the second anomaly in the "Black Book". It is different from the anomalies we have encountered before. It is not an anomaly transformed from any person, event, or concept, but an anomaly transformed from the legend of Xiangxi.
This is what Zhou Tianqi mentioned, the abnormality transformed by the fallen god—
Her name is "Fallen Flower Cave Girl".
Although we have eliminated "A Hundreds of Faces" and "The Hanging Temple", they will reappear as long as concepts such as "Painted Skin" and "Living Sacrifice" exist.
However, there is no such concept as "living sacrifice" in modern times, but concepts such as "painted skin" and "stand-in" still exist.
"Thousand Faces" may appear again in the future, but since we know its weaknesses, we just need to eliminate it before it grows strong enough.
All anomalies are the same; eliminating them before they become too powerful is what the Administration has always done.
But "Fallen Flower Cave Girl" is different. It is an anomaly born from concepts such as legends and gods. Even if it is destroyed, as long as the legend continues to exist, this anomaly will never disappear and will always remain powerful.
Because that is God.
God is more powerful than man.
"We can't destroy 'Fallen Flower Cave Girl,' but we can destroy its core and put it to sleep." Zhou Tianqi put his things away. "It's actually not as dangerous as 'Hundred Forms and Thousand Faces.' At least it won't affect my memory."
"It just can't be defeated."
He looked at me and said, "And if you're lucky, your fate can be determined in advance."
Seeing me clumsily tying my hair, she sighed and took the comb, "You won't have to wear a skirt then."
So, Tong, as long as you smash its core, you can get 1 million points?!
[…It will take at least a hundred years to repair after being destroyed once. Please don’t try to cheat by exploiting the bugs to gain points!]
...I haven't said anything yet.
[You haven't said anything. It's been so long, and I still don't understand you?!]
"Tianqi, Tianying, there are two more people going with you this time." Yu Zhong sent the message, along with the attachment.
Click on the attachment.
It's an acquaintance.
Baizhi and Yiyun.
These two are old acquaintances who are five years older than us.
Now he is also the backbone of the branch.
"Long time no see." Bai Zhi was wearing a neat suit, and Yi Yun next to her waved at us.
"Sister Baizhi, Brother Yiyun, long time no see."
"I haven't seen you two for two months. Why do I feel like you two have grown taller—" Yi Yun asked.
He has already controlled his words very well, and then he returned to his talkative nature. I was shocked when he went to the police station to hand in a task. After all, letting a chatterbox not speak for three years was really suffocating him.
"How on earth does he grow up? It's okay if he's just a little pervert, but why is Tianying so tall too?!"
I looked at him.
Well, it still looks like 176.
There may be no hope of breaking through 180.
"I can grow to at least 190cm, right?" Zhou Tianqi said bluntly.
It sounds like a provocation, but let me think about it, he has the memory of the first round.
——I’ve decided that this trip to Xiangxi will definitely determine my fate.
I absolutely do not want to wear women's clothes despite my 1.9-meter-tall body!
