Chapter 44: The Eve of the Tournament

Mu Xiu naturally didn't know about the strange undercurrent that had resurfaced in the spiritual world, he just felt a little strange and confused.

Because when he woke up early the next morning, he found that the task he asked him to defeat the intruder from the Psychic Industry had been completed, which seemed a little confusing-

After all, the time when the killing ring was not completed yesterday, and the time when I came back in the evening was also not completed, but when I got up this morning, I actually happened to judge it directly? On what basis is this determined, and how does the mechanism work?!

The boy didn't think that this was because of the possibility of network delay caused by the big ball of light, he thought about it for a while, and then decided that it was probably because last night, there were still many people who coveted the "rune knowledge" that didn't exist at all, and they were ready to move.

But today, the news that he had slaughtered so many exorcists yesterday spread directly, and he finally dispelled the thoughts of most of the ill-intentioned people.

- Therefore, it is only now, when I perceive that there will be no more large-scale attacks of the "main god" light ball, that I judge that the mission is complete.

I don't know if Mu Xiu heard it wrong, he always felt that when the cold prompt of the big ball of light just now resounded in his consciousness, it seemed that there was a trace of strange tone in the cold voice of the machine.

Could it be that he killed so many enemies at once, scared off other potential enemies in one go, and completed the task directly so neatly that even the big ball of light felt commendable?!

Mu Xiu thought so crankily as he got up and put on his shoes, or rather, let the clothes on his body change into shoes.

It's just that since he has already taken into account the situation and possibility that "the spiritual industry has spread", he naturally can't imagine the change in his own concepts and perceptions in that world, as well as the inevitability of the subsequent changes in the policies, strategies, and actions adopted by those exorcists against him.

However, in Mu Xiu's own consideration, there are nothing more than two possibilities.

First of all, after discovering that no matter whether it is a frontal battle, a roundabout battle, or a sneak attack, there is no way to fight against yourself. They will probably choose more insidious and despicable methods, such as kidnapping someone close to them to threaten them.

If this is the case, if there is no accident, it is estimated that there will soon be special personnel to come and sincerely woo themselves, hoping to join them.

However, considering the indirect hint that the Great Light Ball confirmed that he had completed the task of "defeating the intruder who coveted the secret of his body in the Psychic Industry", and his current state of the third stage that could be predicted, he had no premonition.

Mu Xiu could probably be sure that the people in the spiritual industry should have chosen the latter.

Thinking so, he took the door and went out after washing.

……

The reconstruction of the Lost Dog Park is not progressing slowly, but it is not much sooner.

Although it has been a detour these days, today Mu Xiu suddenly wanted to pass by the side of the park on a whim.

It's just that looking at the messy construction site, the noisy construction team, and the trees that have survived on the edge of the park but have many scorched black marks, he felt that it would take about a month for him to see the park reappear, so he could only leave silently.

Because it was still early, after the teenager left the mourning dog park, he specially went around again, and Shi Shiran passed by the intersection yesterday evening.

He found that the blockade of this area was no longer known when it was lifted, and now the pedestrians and vehicles around it were only relatively sparse, but not none.

It's just that the people who come and go have no idea what happened here yesterday evening - just one night, this ugly and disgusting slaughterhouse has been disposed of.

Even Mu Xiu was only able to detect the traces of terrain restoration and the disgusting smell of blood left in the air by relying on extremely keen and powerful perception.

And on this morning, no matter which TV channel or any conscientious media has published a single piece of news that is even suggestive about it, there is no doubt that it has also been subject to information control.

Maybe because of the relationship between various departments, factional interests, etc., the government's response will always be slower than that of the news media or something, but it also depends on what it is for.

When it's really necessary, they can act faster than Apple, Microsoft, Alibaba, and other super-corporations, and after erasing something, the average person may not even know what's going on.

There is no doubt that the government will never tolerate the leakage of secrets such as evil spirits and supernatural disasters.

In a rather natural posture, and with a fairly even stride, Mu Xiu crossed from this side of the street to the opposite side as if he were walking in the morning, and waited for the traffic light at the intersection where no cars passed.

After making one final confirmation, he felt relieved and knew that someone had helped him with the whole thing and that nothing would go wrong, and he went to school with peace of mind.

After all, if the official intends to use this incident to attack itself, the first thing to do must be to build momentum in terms of public opinion, rather than quietly erasing the whole thing as if nothing had happened. In this way, the other side should not be prepared to rely on threatening means to win over itself.

At least......

There shouldn't be any rumors like "White Emperor Academy Murderous Maniac".

……

……

"Good morning, Chisakura-san."

Pushing open the door and entering the conference room on the top floor of the bell tower, the first thing Mu Xiu saw was a gray-haired girl wearing the women's uniform of the White Emperor Academy and a short ponytail tied behind her head with a black bow, so she greeted her familiarly.

"Good morning, Mr. Muxiu."

The secretary of the student union, who was holding a water cup by the wall and pouring water for herself, turned her head, stretched out a slender and white index finger, gently pushed her glasses, and then replied in a flat tone as always.

By the way, she took another clean cup from the shelf next to her and poured a cup of hot boiling water for Mu Xiu.

"Ah, thanks-"

The boy was not polite, nodded and stretched out his hands to take it, but it was strange to say, several members of the student council, including himself, greeted others in different ways.

For example, Spring Breeze Thousand Sakura generally only pours hot water for others in the morning, while Daisy pours black tea for others by default, while Mu Xiu himself politely asks others what they want, and then only gives black tea no matter what the other party answers......

As for the other three fools, who can expect them to know how to greet people politely?

The secretary of the student union nodded slightly, and then sat on the sofa with his own cup, sipping elegantly, his delicate face did not change expression, and he still had a rigorous posture that did not like to speak. However, Mu Xiu has long been used to it, after all, in the eyes of everyone in the student union, Spring Breeze Qianying is a serious person who does not know any taste.

It's just that, as a prophetic intruder, Mu Xiu knows where her contrast lies: she has a side that likes maids in her heart, and it can even be said that she is burning with the soul of a maid on a par with Miss Maria......

Especially now, after getting along for such a period of time, always looking at the unsmiling appearance of this glasses secretary, the young man couldn't help but almost yell in his heart-

"I really want to see Chisakura wearing a maid outfit, no glasses, and a maid professional smile on her face, and her every move is very in line with the norms of a maid, diametrically opposed maid mode!!

Needless to say, this is really a rather faux pas.

"What's wrong, classmate Mu Xiu, is there something on my face?"

Girls are always extra sensitive to looking at themselves, and Spring Breeze Thousand Sakura is no exception.

"Ahem, it's nothing, I just thought of something......" Mu Xiu retracted his gaze, coughed lightly, and covered up his gaffe by the action of drinking water.

"Well, it's about the marathon of the day after tomorrow, I heard that the members of the student council have to participate in at least one race?" And after thinking about it, he felt that maybe this would make his argument more convincing, so he added.

"Yes, it's not a hard and fast rule, but it's a good idea for members of the student council to participate in at least one competition." Spring Breeze Qianying did not doubt him, put down the teacup in his hand, and nodded clearly.

However, she clearly misunderstood something, and after pushing her glasses, she reached out and pointed to the side of the atrium that was the president's office.

"But I've already applied for the 500m and 800m events, so I may not be able to respond to you...... I suggest that you go to the president if you plan to run the freemarathon - because I heard the president say yesterday afternoon that she is going to participate too, and you all add up to a team of two. ”

"Uh, yes, is that so......" Mu Xiu's expression stiffened slightly, not knowing how to explain the question.

"Why should I participate?" At this time, the door of the conference room opened again, and the sassy pink-haired girl walked in, smiling and smiling as if she was very energetic and energetic. "Good morning, Sakura-chan - by the way, there is also Muxiu-san."

"Good morning, President." Spring Breeze Thousand Sakura nodded slightly.

"Good morning, Daisy-san...... Thank you for "by the way". ”

Mu Xiu sighed, and then looked directly behind Gui Daisy and looked at the baby-faced young man in the butler uniform. "Ayasaki-san, it's early today, too, but this hasn't started classes yet, so you just come to the student union...... Is there something going on?! ”

Although he asked so, in fact, the moment he saw the debt housekeeper, the young man's brain connected everything in series like lightning.

Student union...... Marathon ...... I also have a cinnamon daisy......

It's probably the housekeeper boy in front of him who serves the eldest lady in the house, as a senior OTAKU, who can't even run the entire 50-meter distance, but he insists on making a bet with his housekeeper to get the first place in at least one event - as for the bet, it should be the debtor steward himself in front of him.

Once he loses the game, Ayasaki will not be qualified to continue as a butler.

So in order to make sure that he had enough chances of winning, he came to spy on the "enemy situation" to see if Gui Daisy did not participate in any project...... But unlike the original, this time I will probably add myself.

“……”

As soon as he thought of this, Mu Xiu's eyes became strange when he looked at the baby-faced boy, and without waiting for an answer, he stood up and prepared to prepare tea for the two of them. But passing by Ayasaki's side, he patted the other party's shoulder with pity.

"Actually...... Wait, I always feel like there's something wrong, I haven't said anything, why do you seem to have seen through everything, Mu Xiu, classmate......"

The debt housekeeper is suddenly ORZ.
