Like a Dream, Like an Illusion, Dying with Unclosed Eyes

Chapter 42: Like a Dream, Unwilling to Close His Eyes (Seeking Reads)

A moment later.

Chen Ye carried the evolved zombie back with one hand.

It was like carrying a chick.

The evolved zombie looked miserable, covered in wounds, its hands and feet dangling limply, soft as noodles. Clearly, its limbs had been broken by Chen Ye, rendering it completely unable to move.

"Thump!"

Chen Ye threw the evolved zombie onto the ground in front of Tang Zichen, dusted off his hands, and smiled, "Done. Class monitor, sorry for making you wait."

Tang Zichen: "..."

A deadly crisis for the newcomers.

It was easily resolved by Chen Ye like this!

From the moment he made his move until all the zombies were dealt with, it took only about ten minutes.

It was like a dream...

Chen Ye truly was someone who wouldn't act unless necessary, but when he did, he was terrifying!

Tang Zichen looked deeply at Chen Ye, unsure of what to say.

Originally, she had asked Chen Ye to team up to repay Chairman Chen's kindness and to achieve good results in the Secret Realm with Chen Ye.

She hadn't expected to almost implicate Chen Ye.

Even more unexpectedly, he didn't need her help at all. If anything, Chen Ye had carried her through this.

So, was she the clown?

"Huh?"

Chen Ye suddenly looked at the Japanese youth on the ground in surprise: "You're still alive, kid?"

Yes.

The Japanese youth was still alive. He lay on the ground, pressing his palm tightly against the major artery in his neck to prevent excessive blood loss, still hanging on by a thread.

Chen Ye couldn't help but sigh at how resilient this little haggard was!

His will to survive was also very strong.

But it wouldn't last long.

Beneath the Japanese youth's neck, blood had already stained the ground. His face was as pale as paper, and his life was already in its final countdown.

After all, the major artery had been injured. Even if the injury wasn't severe, it couldn't be stopped by just pressing it with his hand.

At this moment.

The Japanese youth's gaze was fixed on Chen Ye, his eyes filled with shock and resentment towards Chen Ye.

Chen Ye understood the Japanese youth's gaze and smiled, "Are you thinking that I had this strength but didn't use it sooner, waiting until you all died before stepping out?"

"Actually... I did it on purpose!"

Cruel and unusual punishment!

Cruel and unusual punishment!

The Japanese youth's eyes widened as if he had a final burst of energy, staring fixedly at Chen Ye with extreme malice, wishing he could devour Chen Ye.

He understood the Xia language!

That's why he hated him!

Suddenly, the Japanese youth realized that even without the trouble caused by Li Zairong, with a monster like Chen Ye existing, their plan to snipe Tang Zichen was doomed to fail.

How laughable they were, thinking Tang Zichen was trapped this time, and Xia Country would lose a genius, collapsing from then on.

They hadn't expected that the true genius wasn't Tang Zichen at all!

Xia Country was protected by great fortune.

Talents emerged in great numbers.

For their Japan to annex Xia Country, it was impossible in this lifetime...

Thinking of this, the Japanese youth suddenly lost his spirit.

The next moment.

The Japanese youth couldn't catch his breath. His pupils quickly lost focus, and the hand pressing his neck also drooped down limply.

He was dead...

The blood in this guy's body was already almost drained. Stimulated by Chen Ye's words, he died of anger and frustration, finally breathing his last.

But his eyes were still open.

He died with his eyes wide open!

From then on.

The only survivors left were Chen Ye and Tang Zichen.

Evolved zombies didn't count as people.

Their gazes met.

Silence.

A wordless silence.

Tang Zichen didn't know what to say.

Everything that had happened tonight had deeply shocked her, and she still couldn't calm her emotions.

Chen Ye felt he should say something.

After thinking for a moment, he spoke, "Class monitor, actually, ever since I was a child, I felt my body was different from normal people. As long as I exercised every day, my strength would just keep growing..."

"Based on this phenomenon, I've also consulted a lot of information, and the only reasonable conclusion I could reach was that I was born with divine strength!"

Tang Zichen finally spoke, "So, at the Hero Aptitude Conference, you chose to align with a C-class hero because you felt that S-class hero talent wouldn't be of much use to you? The success rate for aligning with a C-class hero is close to one hundred percent. You just needed a ticket to enter the Secret Realm, right?"

Only those who successfully aligned with a hero could enter the Secret Realm.

Hearing Tang Zichen's words, Chen Ye himself was stunned.

He had truly witnessed what it meant for the most fatal "imagination without basis."

"Class monitor, you're really smart!"

Chen Ye bluffed with a poker face.

It was good that Tang Zichen imagined things this way; it saved him the trouble of racking his brain to continue his fabrication.

Chen Ye didn't want anyone to know the secret of Saitama among the C-class heroes.

In this world.

Having one Bald Demon King like him was more than enough!!

"...Did my performance just now make me look like a clown?"

Tang Zichen suddenly said self-deprecatingly.

Huh?

What did she mean by that?

Chen Ye was taken aback.

He truly didn't understand a woman's thought process.

"Class monitor, this is my biggest secret. Even my parents don't know. I didn't mean to lie to you."

Chen Ye said calmly.

If this girl got any more sentimental, he was going to spank her.

He could only look at her when he slept, and he had long wanted to test how she felt.

"You've lied to me more than once."

Tang Zichen looked at Chen Ye deeply.

This guy always liked to tease her and made so many dirty jokes with her...

What a scumbag!

Then, she added, "Regardless, Chen Ye, if it weren't for you tonight, I would be dead. You saved me, and I owe you my life! I have no way to repay such a great kindness, except..."

Chen Ye's face immediately lit up with anticipation, and he listened intently.

According to the normal procedure, the next four words should have been "offer myself in return," right?

However, after waiting for a long time, there was still no follow-up. He looked at Tang Zichen in confusion.

He saw a sly, triumphant smirk on Tang Zichen's pretty face.

Good heavens.

This little girl had also become mischievous!

He had to admit, Tang Zichen's little face was truly beautiful! Exquisite like a work of art, even her mischievous smile had a unique charm.

"Chen Ye, if you encounter trouble in the future, just come find me, and no matter what the situation, I will save you once!"

Tang Zichen said this very seriously.

From this, it could be seen that this girl still had a bit of a stubborn streak.

She probably thought that once she grew to Ms. Qin's level, she could surpass or even help Chen Ye.

Chen Ye just smiled at Tang Zichen's thoughts.

"Okay, then when I encounter trouble I can't solve in the future, I'll come to you for help," Chen Ye said.

Tang Zichen nodded and added, "Regarding your secret, I will help you keep it confidential."

Chen Ye believed this.

This young lady before him didn't think like a normal girl; she valued promises more than men.

Her personality was evident from the moment she agreed to Chairman Chen's request and decided to team up with Chen Ye.

However.

Confidentiality alone wouldn't suffice.

The two of them needed a plausible excuse for others to believe.

"Class Monitor, once we leave the Secret Realm, if anyone asks, I'll pin everything on you."

"In their eyes, you're a prodigy, and I'm just a failing student with a useless hero talent. Only by blaming you will they believe it."
