"What are you thinking about, Hoshino-san? Although we haven't spent much time together, do you think the teacher would be the kind of person who favors one over the other?"
Si Wang glanced at the girl who had tears in her eyes but didn't know whether to let them fall or not. He spread out the five fingers of his right hand, and five dolls of various shapes and sizes instantly fell down, swaying in the air. "If we want to go to the aquarium, of course we have to invite Shiroko-san, Nomiya-san, Ayane-san, and Serika-san to come with us. Let's go out and play together. It doesn't make sense for just the two of us to go."
"..."
Suddenly, Hoshino Takanashi stopped sniffing, his tears stopped rolling, and his body stopped shaking. He stood there with a dazed expression, as if he had been struck by lightning.
With the sound of the waves, the sand castle that had already fallen apart was instantly sent back to the beach intact by Si Wang's words.
"Well, that's a pretty good plan, isn't it?"
Si Wang seemed not to notice Hoshino Kotori's expression as he enthusiastically commented on the dolls hanging on his fingers, "This dolphin will be given to Shirako-san who has no expression but always does things that make people drop their jaws. This penguin will be given to Serika-san who is small in stature but has a big temper. This white whale will be given to Nomiya-san who is the most gentle. And this seal will be given to Ayane-san who loves to worry the most..."
"As for the last one..."
Si Wang shook the coolest shark doll on his finger and said, "Teacher, I will accept it without hesitation~"
Chapter 152 Seeking Death
"Teacher, what should I say? Although I know in my heart that you said this on purpose to comfort me, how should I say it..."
Hoshino Kotori quietly put the doll and the ticket into his pocket, wiped his red nose and eyes twice, looked up at Si Wang, and said very seriously, "If you say something like this again that is easy to cause misunderstanding, I think something unbearable will happen in the future."
"Oh~really?" Si Wang pretended to listen attentively and asked politely, "For example..."
"For example..."
Hoshino Takanashi put his right hand to his lips, as if he wanted to whisper something, and Si Wang bent down very cooperatively, pretending to listen.
"like this!"
The moment Si Wang bent down, Xiao Niaoyou Xingye suddenly rushed into Si Wang's arms and leaned on his waist.
"hiss--!!!"
Si Wang took a breath and seemed to vaguely hear the sound of his spine breaking.
"Teacher, this is just a small lesson."
Buried in Si Wang's arms, Xiao Niaoyou Xingye's muffled voice came from it, "If you dare to tease an uncle like this again next time, I can't guarantee what will happen."
By the time Si Wang came to his senses, Hoshino Kotori had already slipped away, leaving only a hurriedly disappearing figure at the end of the corridor.
"...You really can't judge a person by appearance, Hoshino-san."
Si Wang rubbed his waist casually and tried twice to stand up but failed.
It seems that Hoshino-san was really mad at me, and he actually used such a cruel method.
But I can't suffer this loss in vain. I must find a chance to retaliate in the future.
This unexpected episode was quickly forgotten by Si Wang, and his attention was now more focused on another more interesting thing.
"No. 3, can you do this?"
Si Wang called out to his clone in his mind, severely criticizing the [Aphid] who was fishing in his pocket, "It's just a bullet, not even as big as my finger. You've been chewing it for so long and you still haven't chewed it clean? Do you think this attitude and ability are worthy of your identity as a cheater?"
hum-
[Aphid] flew out of the pocket holding the black bullet and landed on Si Wang's shoulder.
Along with it came an anxious feeling of wanting to explain something.
After gaining its footing, the [Aphid] could not wait to raise its head, which was slightly larger than a grain of rice, and showed Si Wang its jaw, which was full of pits and had been mostly flattened, with a very aggrieved look on its face.
Hard and hard to bite.
"Where is it hard? It's been this hard for so many years, okay? Don't talk nonsense with your eyes open."
Si Wang curled his lips and waved his hand as if to drive away a mosquito, "Sometimes you should look for your own reasons. Have your abilities improved over the past few days? Have you worked seriously? Have you lived up to the blood and flesh that I worked so hard to grow?"
hum...
The wings that were originally trembling with excitement suddenly flaccid. After being criticized by Si Wang, the aphid immediately lay down like a salted fish, stuck out its front jaws, and unwillingly drilled into Si Wang's body.
Three seconds later, the [aphid] struggled to crawl out from under Si Wang's skin. Its entire body looked brand new, and its broken jaw had completely grown back, reflecting a sharper luster.
With its wings flapping, the [Aphid] silently landed on Si Wang's collar, like a bullfighter facing a mad bull. It lowered its six legs, tensed its muscles, and cautiously hovered around the black bullets sent by Xiao Niaoyou Xingye, making one or two harsh threats from time to time.
"Do you have to be so serious?"
Si Wang couldn't help but sigh, and began to wonder if this funny little guy didn't come out of his body, but was some kind of novice gift package given by the system. "Isn't it just a little darker, a little colder, and there's an indescribable feeling flowing through it?"
Si Wang picked up the black bullet lying on his shoulder with three fingers and held it in front of his eyes to observe it carefully.
Thanks to the [Spirit] attribute that was as high as 10 points, but only 10 points, he could indeed sense a strange feeling different from that caused by the material factors flowing on the surface of the bullet. It was like a psychological chill of murderous intent that was constantly coming from the part where it came into contact with his skin, continuously and slowly stinging his nerves.
If I have to describe it, it's a bit like suddenly seeing someone scratching a blackboard with their fingernails through a layer of glass.
After passing through the barrier of the wall, only one or two intermittent scratching sounds could be heard occasionally.
But just watching the other person slapping the blackboard, without any sound, is enough to make people feel their gums sour, their hair stand on end, and they can't help rubbing their arms.
The setting about Kivotos's halo suddenly emerged in Si Wang's mind.
The halo does not have a physical entity; it is more like a material manifestation of the spirit.
It disappears when you fall asleep and reappears automatically when you wake up.
It will be dull when you are in a bad mood and will shine brightly when you are in a good mood.
Therefore, the shattering of the halo also means the shattering of the spirit.
In a sense, it can also be considered as the death of the soul?
The bullet rolled back and forth between his fingers, drawing a black arc.
Si Wang had a thoughtful expression.
So... this bullet does not attack matter, but the spirit, or the soul.
Si Wang couldn't help but think of names like "Holy Trinity", "Gehenna", and "Hundred Ghosts".
Could it be that there really are magical or mythical creatures like gods, demons, and ghosts in Kivotos?
Combined with what Hoshino Takanashi said - at some point in the past, she did have the same intense murderous intent as Si Wang did at that time.
Then this bullet might have been prepared by Hoshino Takanashi at that time.
Prepared for the purpose of killing someone or something.
Si Wang suddenly had a brilliant idea, but the environment was not right now, so he planned to go back to the infirmary, lie down on the bed and think it over carefully.
There is definitely something to it!
"No. 3, follow Hoshino Kotori closely, but don't let her see you."
Si Wang waved his hand to drive away the Aphid that kept flying around the bullet like a mosquito in reality. He warned the Aphid and himself seriously, "Although No. 2 has stayed in the whale doll, some unexpected situations are inevitable. If it loses contact, you will replace it in time. Don't let Xiao Niaoyou Xingye out of our sight."
Si Wang paused and emphasized, "Now is the critical moment of the final plot. You'd better not make some funny mistakes, which will make our status as the mastermind... or the white hand behind the scenes plummet to the point where we have to play the big and small jokes in a poker game."
Chapter 153: The Battle Situation is Too Unfavorable for Our Soldiers
[Aphid] braked suddenly in mid-air, and almost failed to stop the momentum of inertia, and hit its head on the window.
After adjusting its posture, it quickly turned around and nodded towards Si Wangmeng.
You can't deceive your own heart. It knows exactly when to act cute, when to be lazy, and when to start working seriously.
Without a doubt, now is the time to get down to work.
The [Aphids] gave up their plan to teach the bullet a lesson without hesitation, and flew towards the location of Kotori Yui Hoshino along the shared induction between the [Aphids].
Si Wang did not stay long. While walking through the shadowy corridor under the moonlight, he cleaned out the supplies in his system backpack to see if he needed to get up early tomorrow and go to the market to buy what he needed.
Oh, by the way, I have to inform people in advance.
Si Wang slapped his forehead and took out his cell phone from his pocket.
The screen is unlocked, and a row of large highlighted fonts [01:34] appears in the center of the screen.
Si Wang thought about it and decided to call the other party’s landline in the living room.
Beep—beep—drop!
After only two rings, the phone was quickly picked up and a loud yawn was heard.
"Hello, hello..."
A girl rubbed her eyes and mumbled out her self-introduction, which she had said countless times until it became instinctive. "This is [Convenience House 68], professionally responsible for handling various, various..."
Another unstoppable yawn.
Si Wang kindly replied on behalf of the other party, "All kinds of blame."
"Yes, yes, yes, professionally handle all kinds of black pots... Who can professionally handle all kinds of black pots?! And is there anyone really willing to handle black pots professionally?!"
As if the word "blame" had brought back some unbearable memories, the girl on the other end of the phone suddenly came to her senses and complained loudly, "Teacher, please don't go too far! Are you still awake so late just to deliberately call us to harass us?! If that's the case, I'll hang up, I really will!!"
"Ahem, Alu-san, you really are a forgetful person."
Si Wang coughed twice and decided to attack others so that they would have no time to attack him.
So he put on an aggrieved expression, covered his chest, and said in a sad tone as if he was hurt, "Have you really forgotten the agreement we made under the office building in front of the convenience store?!"
"Promise? Oh oh oh, I remember now, it's that promise, right?!"
"Yeah, yeah, that's the agreement!"
"It's that promise after all!"
"Yes, yes, that's the agreement!"
Hearing Si Wang's cry that sounded like tears of blood and his surprised voice in response, Lu Bamo Alu's surging momentum suddenly stagnated. He subconsciously began to doubt whether he had really forgotten some important appointment with Si Wang, so that the other party had to call him in the middle of the night.
The more the girl thought about it, the more guilty she felt, and the less confident she became. She could only repeat herself to fool Si Wang, while desperately digging into her own brain, trying to dig out this non-existent memory.
"Why don't we meet at No. 115, Jianshe South Road, Jianshe Street, Mingchen District, in the evening?"
Si Wang suddenly changed his words out of the blue.
"Okay, okay, no problem."
The girl who was racking her brains had no idea of Si Wang's sinister intentions and just nodded stupidly.
"Ah, my phone seems to be running out of battery."
Hearing the answer he wanted, Si Wang immediately exclaimed and quickly added, "Then I'll go there and wait for you, Alu-san!"
Hang up, shut down, black screen, all in one go.
"..."
Lu Bamo Alu looked at the busy tone coming from the microphone with a dull look in his eyes.
After a few seconds of silence, she suddenly realized something.
Was I being fooled by Si Wang again?
I don’t want to be out at two in the morning!
-------------------------------------
"Because I don't dare go out alone at two o'clock in the middle of the night..."
Kayoko Onikata covered her forehead with her hands, looking at Lu Bamo Alu, who was eating frantically and didn't dare to look at her, with a headache. "So this is why you woke me up at two o'clock in the middle of the night to accompany you, President?"
"How can it be fear? It's obviously... it's... unity. That's right, it's unity!"
Seeing that his reputation was damaged, Lu Bamo Alu mustered up his courage, raised his head, stared at the bowl of noodles in front of Onikata Kayoko, and whispered back, "Unity is the motto of our Convenience House 68. Facing the teacher's important entrustment, of course we all have to be present..."
Kayoko Onikata looked at Lu Bamo Alu, whose voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end she couldn't even deceive herself, and shook her head helplessly.
"Please don't embarrass our lovely Aru-chan, Kayoko-chan~ After all, this matter is really the teacher's fault~"
Light yellow Mu Yue picked up an octopus ball sprinkled with seaweed and salad dressing and put it into her mouth. She pointed the bamboo stick in her hand at Si Wang like a sword and said with a smile, "You actually came to Abydos so late to treat us to a midnight snack. Teacher, you really are thinking of something really outrageous!"
"Eh, is that so?!"
Lu Bamo Alu's eyes widened, and he quickly bit off the noodles he was about to eat. He immediately picked up his sniper rifle and said vigilantly, "Teacher, a true outlaw wouldn't fall into the same trap twice. Don't even think about asking our convenience store to take the blame for you again!"
"Student A-Lu, what kind of image do you think of me in your eyes? Why do you think of taking the blame first when you talk about something excessive?"
Si Wang looked at the noodles that were broken in mid-air, half resting on the edge of the bowl and half falling on the table, and sighed, "Also, please swallow what's in your mouth before you talk. This midnight snack was borrowed from me, your teacher, to treat you, so please cherish it..."
"That's it."
Asagi Mutsuki nodded, turned around and pointed at her childhood sweetheart, "We've been drinking the same bowl of porridge these past few days, and the teacher even paid off his debt that he would never be able to pay off by treating us to a meal, but Alu-chan didn't appreciate it at all and wasted so much. It's really too much~"
