Chapter 23: The Academy in the Mist
Only budding newcomers who don't understand anything will feel that there is a crying girl who needs you to save.
In this kind of hellish place, God knows how many petals the girl's head will crack when you save the so-called sister in the past, and taste your flesh with a tongue full of barbs.
Even if it's not a Cthulhu series, it's a banshee-type monster that can physically blow your mind with just one finger.
Although the brain told Mark that it probably didn't end well.
Mark was still devastated...... Rolled 20 dice.
"Huh? How so. β
The number of points thrown by the dice is [20]!
That's unusual.
Thinking that the dice had never pit him, Mark gritted his teeth, took the gun in his right hand, and touched it in the direction of the cry.
Without turning two corners, Mark realized that it wasn't a banshee, it was just ...... This is also worth 20 points?
"Who?" Accompanied by a bottomless 'scolding' sound, a kerosene lamp was thrown, and there was a weak burst: "I ...... I...... I have a weapon. β
Mark was speechless, and paused for a moment before speaking tentatively, "Miss Haruka? β
"Male...... No, Destini Senpai!? There was surprise in his voice one second, and he immediately became vigilant the next: "Wait, how do I know you're not a man-eating monster?" β
Mark almost didn't laugh out loud: "If I were a man-eating monster, I would just leave you alone and choke you to death, and then I could eat your flesh as I pleased." β
"Poof!" It should have been funny, but Bison chick couldn't hold back, and after laughing, she realized that the person who was ridiculed was herself, and the shame of social death immediately flooded her heart again: "Don't, don't say it, I believe you." Come on! β
Mark turned around and looked at the fire stick in her hand that came out of the fireplace and wanted to laugh.
"You don't even have the strength to lift this burning stick, do you?"
"I, I, woo-woo......" the stupid girl cried again.
After coaxing her a few words, Mark and her said in unison: "Do you know what happened?" β
Two at the same time: "......"
Mark sighed, "You speak first." β
"I ran out crying, crying and crying, and found that Jenny was gone, and when I looked up, it was also dark, and for some reason it was here."
"I'm pretty much the same, I wash my face in the bathroom and I look like this."
Tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, and she said weakly: "Senior, can I trust you?" β
Mark was stunned: "I'm not a big hero, and I'm not qualified to say that I protect everyone." But I'll try to take care of you. β
There is no absolute commitment, but a real commitment.
For some reason, this stupid girl felt very relieved.
At this point, she pointed to the window on the exterior wall of the college.
"Senior, you say, is it possible for us to break the window and escape outside the academy?" Miss Bison whispered.
Well, it doesn't sound like there's no room for manoeuvre.
As Mark looked at the window, a bloody handprint suddenly appeared on the glass window on the faΓ§ade of the college building, and a dark shadow flashed, accompanied by a sinister laughter.
"Ahh Miss Bison exclaimed as a gunshot rang out.
A golden glow erupted from the muzzle of the revolver, striking a dark shadow outside the window.
Miss Bison was once again frightened by the sound of the gunshot, and squatted back with a duck to sit down.
Mark didn't care about the stupid girl, he looked out through the broken glass, not to mention the existence behind the glass, even the bloody handprints on the dusty glass bed, disappeared without a trace, leaving no trace.
Mark's marksmanship is not weak, and it has nothing to do with crossing.
Before the crossing, he went to the gun club from time to time to practice guns.
Live shooting, that's every boy's dream.
After getting used to the heaviness of the revolver, the hit rate was quite high, the only question was whether the firing speed was still slightly slow.
Mark was sure: if that thing had an entity, he should have hit it just now.
No, even if it's a spirit, the other party can't be okay.
Because it was a sacred pistol left to him by his grandfather, he asked for 48 rounds of special ammunition before Albert left. These bullets, blessed by the Bishop of Light, are quite lethal to ordinary demons.
It's a pity that he was lonely.
"What's that!?" The stupid chick trembled her voice.
"That's probably ...... Boundary! β
Even if it was just a guess, Mark felt that he was not far off.
It is impossible for an academy that looks like the world to have infinite space like the real world, and it is easy for people who are trapped to escape.
It is most efficient to use some way to trap the victim in a relatively small place for round-up.
Inside, he can't hurt anything outside the 'boundary', and if he dares to cross the boundary, nothing good will happen.
Mark didn't hesitate, and grabbed Bison chick's arm: "Go." β
"Where are you going?"
"The gunshot just now will attract unnecessary things to come, and if you don't leave, you may never be able to leave."
Following the footprints they had walked not long ago, Mark and the two turned around and walked in the direction of the bathroom.
Sure enough, not long after they left the area, they heard a cacophony of footsteps speeding towards the place where the shooting had just been fired.
Mark frowned: "The guy who came here doesn't look like an [anomaly]!" β
Miss Bison, who was still thinking about whether to put on a 'more people are more powerful' drama, was stupefied, and hid with Mark on a tall cabinet on the left hand side of the bathroom door, and peeked out half of her face through the hole in the collapsed door. She saw things that looked a lot like people, but they didn't look like people.
Despite the darkness around and an ominous mist on the ground, the light of the lantern reflected the faces of the people.
Those were three seniors in the uniforms of the University next door. Shenstick University is a common name, and the full name of the university is [Praise University of Light and Night], and you know that it is a place to cultivate Shenstick when you hear it.
At this moment, three students, who may be aspiring to be priests and even bishops in the future, are wearing the purest white priestly robes, but they are doing the most vicious work.
Armed with a blood-dripping battle axe, a mountain knife that knocked off a hole, and a war hammer stained with flesh and blood crumbs, they searched around like maned dogs for Mark and the two.
Don't think that they just did something like physical exorcism with such a weapon, because normal people would never have pupils as red as rabbits.
The bloodshot in their eyes was dense and thick, and the corners of their eyes kept dripping [blood tears] mixed with blood and tears.
As soon as they appeared, Miss Bison almost screamed in fright.
The big hand of the male god in her mind covered her little mouth.
"Shh Mark made a silent gesture with his left hand, and the revolver he held in his right hand was firmly aimed at the red-eyed man with the hammer.
It's not what Mark wants to go to war with these obviously abnormal guys, but there are always encounters that don't depend on human will.
As if she was scared silly, she curled up in Mark's arms and trembled slightly, but she didn't make a sound.
They watched in silence as their boots trampled on the debris on the floor, crunching as they approached the bathroom.
"Footprints in this direction!"
Sure enough, they followed the footprints.
Byson's eyes widened, and she slowly turned her head to look at Mark, who finally knew why Mark had played a little trick before finally hiding, even though the situation was so urgent just now......
The trio entered the bathroom in a zigzag formation, and soon found a series of messy footprints on the floor. Those were the footprints Mark had left when he first entered the place and inspected the surroundings. But another series of footprints, one large and one small, extended from the outside, all the way to the window of the bathroom against the exterior wall of the college.
"Damn! Did they really go out? The red-eyed madman with the knife almost instinctively leaned out of the wide open window......
His consciousness was at this moment.
Because with a deafening scream, his vision fell into eternal darkness.
Miss Bison almost screamed on the spot as she watched the abnormal student at the school next door suddenly lose his head in less than half a second, his body limp, and fall back into the bathroom, blood spurting from the scar at the mouth of the bowl.
The only thing that stopped her was her sanity, and Mark's hand.
In fact, it is Mark's greatest luck to be able to fool an enemy into stupidly probing out to send it.
He was indeed ready for war, after all, in a relatively narrow space like the bathroom, Minnie's lethality increased instead of decreasing.
It's just that he is reluctant to use the weakened puppet lady, preferring to use her as a hole card.
At this moment, Mark was very surprised to hear the voice of the girl in his arms.
"Don't ...... No! Don't come here! Don't come here! β
Miss Bison didn't shout half a word in reality, but she just generated an [abnormal] force.
The fog is thick!
The two of them, who had become even more angry because of the violent death of their companions, suddenly felt a confusion in their brains, their vision was muddy, and the mind beacon seemed to have suffered some kind of violent interference and fell on the spot, and the two of them lost control of their bodies in the rapid feeling of weightlessness.
They are drunk and their bodies present a subtle sense of incongruity.
In the next second, the two of them took a very 'non-recognizable' step and rushed out of the bathroom strangely.
"We ...... Safe? Miss Bison's voice was weeping.
"Probably." Mark didn't understand what was going on.
Just when they thought they had avoided an encounter, about thirty meters outside the door, in the direction where the two had just escaped, there was a sudden rush of footsteps, followed by two screams.
The nerves of Mark and the others were once again tense to the extreme.
I don't know what the hell it is, but in the fog, by the light of the kerosene lamp that fell to the ground, it was as if I saw a large mass covering the two 'red-eyed rabbits'.
Mark and Bison looked at each other and asked each other with their eyes: What is that!?
It wasn't until the creepy voice died down again, and after another five minutes, that Mark had the audacity to take Miss Bison over.
The entrance to the dining hall was a mess.
Unsurprisingly, two bones were seen that had been devoured by something.
The Bison chick almost faints from the bloody scene, but Mark notices that the two victims have lost their leg bones......
