Chapter 31: Rising into the Night Sky
Li Bai opened his eyes and saw darkness.
It freaked her out of the way, and if she hadn't seen the neon lights in the night sky outside her window, she would have thought something was wrong with her eyes.
After knocking over something that she didn't know and making a flurry of noise, she finally fumbled and pressed the light button, and the furnishings in the room became clear.
Then, to her tragic discovery, she had just knocked over a cart for the food.
"Let me guess...... My dear brother is certainly not in a good mood because of some idiot, so will he promise me to order another dinner? Li Bai looked at the mess in distress.
"Of course...... No. ”
The girl, who felt a chill rising from her spine, turned her head mechanically and found that the door had opened at some point, and the brown-haired young man with a frosty face was standing at the door, staring at her intently.
It's broken.
"This ...... That one...... I think it's ...... to show up on the table next time."
Li Bai instantly had the illusion that she had been caught cheating on the spot, she didn't know what to say, and she wanted to try her best to save the last trace of free atmosphere.
"We're on a dueling boat right now, and there's no restaurant." Seahorse grimaced, and when he wanted to continue, he looked at the debris of the place, and frowned in disgust, "Let's talk about it in another place." He leaned over and moved out of the doorway.
Obviously, this meant that Li Bai wanted to walk in front of him.
Although she knew that this was a seahorse and figured out that guò was a subtle form to increase the pressure on her psyche, the girl still had to obey and shrugged her head and took the lead in moving out.
Students must be nervous when they are called to the office by their teachers after committing an offence, especially when they are ordered to walk in front of the teacher.
The back and back of his head couldn't help but feel like they were being swept by a scorching gaze, and Li Bai cursed Tianguang Flame fiercely in his heart, while thinking about how he would explain it when the seahorse asked later.
"Say it." After instructing Li Bai to come to a spare room, Seahorse found a chair and sat down seemingly casually, "What happened to you before." ”
"Actually...... It's not complicated. Li Bai hesitated for a long time and decided to say whatever she wanted, she trusted Haima's judgment.
"Game, I'm in a bit similar to his situation, in addition to the original personality, a second personality has appeared in the body."
"The only difference is that my other personality doesn't take over the control of my body very much, and most of the time my body is controlled by me...... She should not have been bumped into by you more than three times. ”
"The last time was during a club event?" Seahorse quickly reacted, "She's the one who threw something at me, the girl called Skylight Flame." ”
“…… Yes. Seeing that Seahorse's face softened, Li Bai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"Scientifically, this condition is called schizophrenia...... Although I don't think the word is very nice, but she, I mean Tianguangyan, what kind of form is her existence? Seahorse continued to ask.
The information leaked by Tianguangyan this time was too obvious, even if Li Bai lied, he could guess a thing or two, he was an atheist...... But schizophrenia has a lot of scientific evidence, the human brain has not been fully explored, if there is no other explanation, he can only believe in this possibility, so he doesn't care that Li Bai has hidden this matter for so long, but is a little happy that she can tell the truth directly.
After understanding the truth, even the seahorse couldn't help but be curious about this situation, and it was okay to say that he was worried about his sister, in short, he couldn't wait to know how this situation existed, and whether there would be sequelae.
"I can't tell you how it is, but you can sense each other's feelings." Li Bai was a little dissatisfied with the description of schizophrenia, strictly analyzed, although she, the game, and Tapir Liang, although the three of them all have two personalities, but the personality that came after them did not come from the split of the original personality: the new personality of the game comes from the soul of the Pharaoh who has been sealed for 3,000 years in the Millennium Building Block, and Tapir Liang is the same, but the identity is the King of Thieves, as for Li Bai...... Her situation is even more special, judging from the information currently available, Tianguang Flame is the original leader, and she is just because of the system crossing over.
There are only two Maliks who can be described as schizophrenia, and they really perfectly interpret all the meanings of the word.
"Yes." Haima pondered for a long time before holding back these two words, and then asked the question he was most concerned about: "Among you, you should be the leader." ”
Accepting this Li Bai "Hui fù" as a normal person, and then witnessing a series of incredible phenomena in her creation of zào, Haima will definitely only accept such a sister emotionally, and has a headache for another new personality who suddenly appears and does not have much experience in getting along, judging from the first two meetings, both sides have a bad opinion of each other, but she can be said to be another Li Bai, and he is not good at comparing with him.
Li Bai replied vaguely, Seahorse's statement could barely be admitted, after all, after Tianguang Flame gained the power in the seal, he did not show any abnormality, and he was still the same character as ever.
"Then persuade her not to mess around in the future, she made a lot of noise during the competition, and I can't stand it a few more times."
After the severe reprimand, Haima got up and came to Li Bai and rubbed her hair under her inexplicable gaze.
"Since there is no exchange of qualifications, your actions are characterized as private."
"Let's go write a report."
Li Bai was suddenly a little moved.
Although she hadn't experienced it herself, she could imagine how troublesome it was to make a fuss about the Celestial Flame, and it involved more than just justice and law and order...... It would take a lot of effort on the part of Seahorse and Becas to twist it into a private act - Skylight Flame used the Chaos Emperor Dragon during the match, and although there was no trophy handover, the line of judgment was very blurred, and it was okay to say that it was a private act, and it was not wrong to be accused of violating the covenant during the match.
Becas must have had a lot of trouble with the other committee members.
The girl smiled slightly.
After that, she personally dialed Bekas's number, and after saying something, she said that the report was already on the way to be sent, and the process was the same as that of the seahorse telling her, but Bekas's voice still sounded so jumpy, which made her a little unhappy - when the atmosphere was tense, there was someone who looked relaxed and of course pulled hatred.
"So be it." Li Bai's voice revealed a hint of exhaustion, but she was still hungry, "Thank you for your secret help." ”
"I didn't help you with anything, if you want to thank you, go to Xie Haima." Becas said happily, "He gave me a lot of things." ”
“…… Is it. The girl gritted her teeth a little, but she held back her feelings, because she needed help with other things, "But I still want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, it's a matter of position." ”
"There's a little favor here, would you like to help?"
The conversation between the two lasted for another half an hour before it ended, and Li Bai breathed a sigh of relief after pressing the hang up button.
In this way, the final preparations will be completed, and there will be no huge public condemnation as the first light path was born.
But that's not the end of it, the card information still has to be transmitted...... So she opened Seahorse's notebook again and tinkered with it, which took another ten minutes.
Li Bai closed the notebook, and when he turned his head, he saw that there was an extra tray with a lid next to him.
"It feels good to have someone who cares." With a guilty sigh, Li Bai immediately ran out non-stop after solving the food sent by three times and dividing five by two.
She hadn't forgotten the time, and it was nine o'clock in less than five minutes, which meant that the quarterfinals were finalized and the dueling boat was about to depart!
Stepping onto the deck, Li Bai couldn't help but reach out and hold down her hair, the sudden strong wind made her unprepared, and when she opened her eyes, she realized that she might be the latest of all people.
The deck of the dueling boat has two floors, appearing in the shape of a tower, and the second layer is the battlefield of the duel, so it is not open, and all the people she knows or don't know are basically watching on the wider first floor, and it is obvious that they also intend to witness the arrival of this moment with their own eyes, and the game is naturally among them.
"I can't be sure you're really okay until I see you in person." The corners of his mouth curled imperceptibly, his arms folded against the railing of the deck, his flaming hair fluttering violently in the night breeze, and the golden bangs that occasionally covered his cheeks seemed to add a sense of majesty. Eyes are the windows of the soul.,At the first glance of looking at the girl, he ruled out the assumption that the other party had a negative personality.,This made him feel a lot better.。 However, the other companions were not as calm as him, and they ran to Li Bai's side and surrounded her.
"Is it really okay? Is it really okay? The girl circled around the city four or five times, and then opened his mouth wide and scooped up her right hand and touched it.
Didn't Shiro's arm break in that accident? Could it be that what I'm seeing now is a hallucination?
"It really doesn't look like something is going on." Honda unceremoniously pulled Joouchi away, "Shiro, I'll introduce you to a new friend." Yujia Long'er was pushed in front of him by him, with a cheap smile on his face.
"Uh...... Hello, my name is Migaron. Yuga stammered and began to introduce himself, he now has a feeling that it is better to meet, the girl standing opposite is indeed very good-looking, and the temperament is also very in line with his appetite, it stands to reason that he should be very relaxed in the face of such a girl, but for some reason he just can't stop being nervous, as if there is magic in those bright red pupils, so that he doesn't even dare to look at each other for a long time.
"Hello, I'm Li Bai, you can call me by my name directly like everyone else." Li Bai stretched out her hand and shook it with him, she didn't know that since the bloodline awakened, she would unconsciously have a slight pressure on strangers, and thought that the other party was just a little innocent.
I don't know why, but she felt like a year had passed after only being separated from these friends for twelve hours, and she couldn't help but feel a little melancholy for a while.
"Where's the apricot?" As soon as she asked this sentence, she regretted it, because the atmosphere around her quickly cooled down.
That's right...... I forgot that Malik planted a spiritual seed in her too, so something must have gone wrong now.
"There's nothing wrong with judging from a medical point of view." Peacock Dance walked over and broke the silence, "I just can't control the time I'm awake, I don't know who it will be when I wake up." ”
"yes, you already know that." Li Bai was a little surprised that Malik would reveal the deposit directly, but then she was relieved.
Lihid's fall was the hand of the body, and the others were all his enemies, so the only person he could rely on was the people on the side of the game, and it was normal to exchange information for the sake of alliances.
"So you've made the cut." Seeing her standing here, the girl also understood that the other party had successfully obtained a seat, smiled at her and turned to leave, walking towards the front of the deck, "Lose your company." ”
"Huh?" Peacock Dance didn't expect her to make such a move, and the arm that was about to put on Li Bai's shoulder had to be put down, she opened her mouth, and finally didn't say anything.
She is becoming more and more curious about Li Bai now, she still remembers the ferocity on the face of the girl in the aquarium very clearly, but now when she looks at the other party, she doesn't have the feeling at all, she looks weak and quiet...... Well, it felt much weaker than before, but she still couldn't connect it to the man she had seen.
"Hey...... Where she's going, that is? The voice of the castle pulled the Peacock Dance back from her contemplation, and she looked up to observe the direction in which the girl was heading, and she couldn't help but miss a half-beat in her heartbeat.
That position doesn't have any special significance, on the contrary, because the relationship at the forefront is the most dangerous, and it is the people who stand there who make them afraid.
"Let her go." The game said lightly, "Malik's information is incomplete, and there should be something between Bai and that person that we don't understand." ”
"And she's left to deal with it herself."
Li Bai moved towards the identified position step by step, and gradually, she found that her body was heavier with every step she took, she ignored this illusion, and still insisted on coming behind the purple-black cloak.
"It must be a pleasure to be able to breathe the night air and feel the night breeze blowing in person."
"Malik."
Li Bai had nothing to brew about, and called out the identity of the other party straight to the point - the dark personality born from Malik's hatred.
Just like when the game swaps personalities to control the body, after this dark personality controls the body, the spirit and clothing of the original body have changed slightly, the original soft pale blonde hair is strangely relaxed, and there is an extra cloak on the body.
"It's a pleasure...... Malik...... Let's call him that, he slowly turned his head, revealing a seemingly calm face, which opened his mouth and smiled at Li Bai meaninglessly.
"So I'll thank you well."
Li Bai frowned, because what she saw was not the same as reality, in her eyes, all the facial features of that face were distorted, and every part was copied, torn apart from its original appearance and struggling towards the void, at this moment she seemed to hear countless wails echoing in her ears.
"I'll send you back into the darkness too." She stared coldly at the face, unconsciously revealing her purpose.
There's no need to say anything else, there's no need for that at all.
For such a product of pure evil, a qiē word is nonsense.
Although the original Malik's methods were extremely disgraceful, he could at least survive as a "person", but when he saw the creature standing in front of him, he felt the darkness and anger he exuded...... Li Bai closed her eyes, and she was disgusted when she looked at her more, this was a negative aura that poured directly into everyone's heart, even if she understood it, she would inevitably be affected.
"Oh?" Malik turned, "You're confident, aren't you...... Woman. ”
"Why do you think you can do it?" He leaned in front of Li Bai and stared at her with a pair of wide-eyed white eyes, "Could it be that you take me as him?" ”
"I know what that coward is...... For example, he is afraid of the dark. ”
Li Bai was a little surprised in her heart, she understood that this guy was referring to the original Malik, but she really didn't remember that Malik's personality would have a fear of darkness.
Maybe it's mentioned in the original book, but after substituting herself, she will instinctively dismiss this as a joke, almost equivalent to the head of the world's largest evil organization, the leader of Gurus, who has such a character?
Is this a joke.
"You heard him right, he's afraid of the dark, and even more afraid of a person." Malik said as he pulled out the thousand-year-old tin staff from his waist and grasped the head of the double-edged axe, starting to exert himself little by little.
"And I love the dark ......"
As he said this, the thousand-year-old tin staff also made a slight crisp sound, and the head of the staff was actually pulled out of the body of the staff, and the snowy blade reflected the moonlight and imprinted on the girl's face - the true appearance of this artifact was actually a short sword.
A true eye that shone with a golden glow appeared on his forehead like Malik before him, but unlike before, this eye also had something else escaping.
The black qi began to spread from the forehead to the surrounding qiē, and the already hideous face set off became more and more terrifying, and the starlight in the night sky seemed to disappear, and it looked like darkness.
Malik pondered whether to teach the white-haired woman a lesson, and the blade in his hand was getting closer and closer to Li Bai's cheek, and it was about to be attached.
And at this moment, Li Bai opened his eyes.
"Bump!"
"What's going on!" The others had been watching the situation over there, but they were still surprised by the sudden appearance in front of them.
In the blink of an eye, Malik actually flew upside down, and if he hadn't reacted quickly and grasped the protrusion at the front of the deck, he might have rolled and fallen down at this moment.
This is the height of the dueling boat, which translates to a height of nearly 7 stories, and everyone knows what will happen if you fall from here.
"What just happened?" The soul of the watch game appeared, and he was stunned with his mouth open like everyone else, forgetting for a moment what to do now.
The game didn't answer him, just stared at the girl in the distance without blinking.
It seems that everyone is underestimating her.
Li Bai leisurely jumped on the platform obstacle that wrapped the front section of the deck, half-squatted down, and stretched out her right hand to the person who was floating below, and after waiting for a long time to get no response, she impatiently pressed her hand on the other party's hand.
"If I break your finger now, will you fall to your death?"
"Humph!" Malik threw his hand at her in hatred and let him pull him up.
"I won't have a chance to save you next time." The girl clapped her hands and left one last word before leaving.
"I hope that the physical impact of the dark game will be more gentle than the wind......"
Malik looked at her distant back, anger in his eyes, but more of a shock.
When Li Bai opened his eyes just now, he clearly saw that the other party's face was also separated, but it was different from him...... The face was not distorted, it turned into a blinding white phantom, and in the haze he only felt as if he had been slapped away by a dragon's claws, and his chest still ached until now.
Li Bai said hello to the game and the others and walked off the deck, because she didn't find Nit's figure, she needed to go to the seahorse and ask where the other party was.
"Don't you see how this airship got into the air?" The game stopped her, "Isn't this a common scene?" ”
As if in response to his words, the next moment the deck on which everyone was standing began to tremble slightly, a long whistle sounded from the bottom, and the air currents generated by the huge power plowed the lawn on the ground like a comb over and over again.
The dueling boat is ready to take off.
"Nope." Li Bai declined his kindness, "The scenery of take-off is actually nothing to see." ”
"As for flying high into the air......" she glanced at the second deck that rose high in the center.
"It's always there."
"I always feel like she's changed a lot." Peacock Dance came to the game and joined him in watching the girl disappear below the stairs, "Do you feel this way?" ”
"Absolutely." The game thought back a little, couldn't help but sneer, and gave an affirmative answer.
"You're feeling a little sluggish, Mai."
"Hasn't she always been like this since we knew her."
The vibration between the two of them became more and more intense, and finally turned into a shaking, and the dueling airship, specially modified for this competition, finally shook off the ground and headed towards the bright starry sky.
I just don't know if there will be a second sun in this starry sky.
――――――――――――――――――――
Recently, I have been busy with real estate transfers, and it will definitely take a lot of effort to board the plane around the end of the month, and I will definitely have to work hard to get familiar with the language environment...... Updates during this time will be much slower.
Don't ask me why I'm busy with this at this time, I don't want to, the main thing is that I'm afraid that there will be a family dispute after I'm gone, and classmates whose parents are divorced should understand ORZ
I wanted to finish the DM part before leaving, Alice said with a sigh.
