News from Bai Yang
Wen Keke immediately noticed the incongruity about the boy.
Contrary to his outwardly kind demeanor, she always felt that this boy's heart was dark, just like hers.
She forced a smile, gripped the blood-stained railing tightly, and, ignoring the pain from her wound, asked, "Do you really want to save me?" Or are you trying to push her off?
The round-faced boy laughed, "Of course not, someone made a deal with me to come and save you."
"Who?"
Bai Yang ignored her question, straightened up, and waved his hand. "Little Cat, go!"
Suddenly, a jet-black Puppet cat jumped out from behind him. Before Wen Keke wonder how it was going to save her, she saw the Black Cat leap into the air, thrusting upwards at her stomach and then kicking her in the waist.
"Boom!"
Wen Keke was airborne for half a second before flying out like a bomb, crashing into the wall of the room with a loud bang, then bouncing back to the ground. A pile of rubble landed on her back, and she couldn't get up for a long time.
Wen Keke briefly lost in thought.
Where does this cat get its incredible strength?!
She felt like her back was about to break. When she staggered to her feet and went to find Bai Yang again, she only saw an empty rooftop.
If the pain in her body hadn't felt so real, she would have doubted that it was all a hallucination.
"Should the system be satisfied now?" Bai Yang muttered to himself as he walked along the edge of the top floor of the teaching building, surveying the situation. A Black Cat and Little Bear beside him kept knocking away the bombs that landed near him.
Only the Little Rabbit stayed quietly in his arms, serving as a mascot and decoration.
After rescuing the villain, Lin Nieran's system began searching for the location of the Protagonist Group, which he also relayed to Bai Yang.
Upon receiving the message from his True Form, Bai Yang mentally replied "Received," and then quickly ran across the top floor to find the person.
At the same time, Sheng Qingqiao also arrived at Tao Yuan's side, but his arrival also brought more bombshells.
He tried to take out his Weird Object Broadsword to deflect the bomb, but as soon as he did, a child's voice accused him of bringing prohibited Items to school and banned him.
Sheng Qingqiao.
After a great deal of effort, Tao Yuan finally managed to break free from the stone slab, but he limped along and his situation was far from better.
"What about Qin Rang and the others?" she asked loudly.
Sheng Qingqiao pointed to the opposite side of the building and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Listen to which floor the bombs are going off the loudest and most frequent; that's where they are."
"..." Tao Yuan was speechless. At this point, how could she possibly hear which explosion was coming from? Her ears were practically deafened.
"Hey? You're out?"
Suddenly, the boy's voice appeared behind her, and Tao Yuan instinctively swung a bench leg at him. Bai Yang, who was hanging upside down behind her, leaned back sharply, and the bench leg grazed his nose.
"Wow, what are you doing?"
Bai Yang leaped down from the railing, followed by the Little Bear and the Little Cat, who landed together and deftly kicked away the bombs around them, giving the three of them time to speak.
"How did you get in here?" Tao Yuan asked. "Weren't you at the hospital?"
"Medical workers will be drawn into the game too, it's not like living in an apartment building means you won't be included," Bai Yang laughed. "Let's go, this school has a lot of secrets. It would be a huge waste for you to just sit around for two hours doing nothing."
With the Dolls clearing away the annoying bombs, Tao Yuan and Sheng Qingqiao could finally rest. They moved much more nimbly than Bai Yang, quickly climbing to the top floor and following beside Bai Yang.
"Brother Bai Yang, you're really a good friend. I wish everyone else in your organization was as easy to talk to as you," Sheng Qingqiao said cheerfully.
"It's indeed rare to find someone like me," Bai Yang asked. "Have you met any members of our organization yet?"
"I've met you, Flower Language, and the newly acquainted Ji Fengbai, but I haven't met Moonlit Night in this Instance yet," Tao Yuan said. "But he seems to have saved us once outside the Instance."
"His situation is a bit special, but we'll see him eventually," Bai Yang said. "If you manage to get out of the Instance smoothly this time, don't bother coming to the Lily Weird Zone unless you have to. The strange things here are beyond your capabilities."
"The rest of you should also stay away. You know better than I do the consequences of feeding the S-Class Aberration yourselves."
These words stirred up Sheng Qingqiao's rebellious spirit. "How could that be? If the Worship God can hide here, how could we not?"
"People have lived here for so long and haven't caused this much trouble. You've only been here for two days, and the S- Instance has already opened," Bai Yang Yangyin said. "If you stay any longer, the eeriness of the entire Lily Zone will awaken."
Sheng Qingqiao was speechless for a moment, then muttered, "It can't be that exaggerated..."
"Actually, this also reminds us that we still need to explore the Weird Zone in various places. If there are still organizations like 'Worship God,' we can be prepared." Tao Yuan said, looking at Bai Yang, "Is the Lily Zone also your territory?"
"How could that be? Why would we stay in this dilapidated and Weird Zone?" Bai Yang asked curiously. "What misunderstanding do you have about us? We're not some cult like the Worship God, why would we need to hide here?"
"So where do you live?"
Sheng Qingqiao had only asked casually, but she didn't expect Bai Yang to actually answer.
"We're staying at a place created by one of our colleagues," Bai Yang said mysteriously. "My colleague is really amazing; I'll show you around sometime."
Sheng Qingqiao's eyes widened. "Really?"
Why would I lie to you?
"Alright."
Bai Yang stopped at the edge of the rooftop leading to the opposite teaching building and said to them, "This school is actually one of the S-Class Aberration Instances in Cloud City."
"We're only in a small area right now. If you have time, I recommend you check the school's Archive Room; you're sure to find the information you need there."
"I'm leaving now, your teammates are downstairs."
"Wait!" Tao Yuan called out to him.
Bai Yang turned his head, and the Rabbit Plush Toy in his arms tilted its head as well, listening attentively.
"If we can get out this time, we'll treat you to something nice, okay? I know a hot pot place that's absolutely delicious," Sheng Qingqiao invited with a smile. "We're friends now, right?"
Bai Yang was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "We'll talk about it another time."
With that, he left, surrounded by the Puppet.
Sheng Qingqiao clicked her tongue twice as she watched his dashing departing figure. "What a meticulous fellow, he didn't even give me a chance to ask him out for a meal."
Tao Yuan calmly swung the stool leg to knock the bomb away. "Let's go. Since he said there's something in the Archive Room, whatever his intentions are, we're definitely going to take a look."
The fifth floor of this building was where Qin Rang was located. Later, Mi Chuchu met up with him by chance, and the two joined forces.
It's been over ten minutes since the bombs landed, and there's no one left alive on their floor besides the players involved in the game. Although some walls are still collapsing, it's much better than the initial chaos, and they have much more room to hide.
When Tao Yuan and Sheng Qingqiao arrived, the two were swatting the bomb away like they were playing badminton.
"You're here too!" Mi Chuchu's eyes lit up.
