Volume 8 Chapter 3 (2/2)
I heard that fairies all loved beautiful crafts It looks like it should be a pretty nice item
”See, I spent a whole day tothe box over to me, there was ahis tail and waiting for someone to praise him
”Yang Yang, I suggest it's best if you don't look at it” Yado, who had stayed silent, suddenly hurled out this sentence
For a second, I had the thought of backing out
But due to Leido's fiery gaze, I still bit the bullet and slowly opened the box…
There was a second where I really wanted to throay the box in my hands
At the sa abruptly popped out If I hadn't been frightened so frequently that I got used to it, I ht there on the spot, because that da that flew out of the box bounced twice before it became motionless I carefully looked at it It was a jack-in-the-box…Stuffed inside was a very skillfully carved hedgehog, and then on top of the hedgehog's spikes were many supernatural colors
In fact, I think that the instant the five-colored rooster head receives this, he'd probably beat you into a meat patty
”It's beautiful, right! This is soe” Like a duck in the ht be killed as he entered the midst of over-enthusiasm
[T/N: July fifteen is the Ghost Festival, and on that day, livestock are slaughtered It er it's in]
I was speechless as I silently passed it back to hiestion out of goodwill, because right now, I feel rather regretful for opening that box; I believe Yadoas me
You used the five-colored rooster head's i?
That's great, now I'ement
”Whose luggage is that at the entrance?” A familiar voice drifted over, and one by one, we shi+fted our gazes toward the entrance Sure enough, it was Chifuyu's group that ca, Ryan, and Randall, it was a total of four people
Four?
I reht?
”Mine!” As soon as Leido heard that, he immediately ran out Next I heard a heavy noise, and then he walked in, dragging a huge suitcase with him
That's great, turns out e was actually considered little
”Nn…? There're only four of you going?” Senior had the same question as me, and directly asked their team's leader, Randall
”Just four, too many people will only cause problems” Randall replied in a very simple and neat way
Senior nodded without saying anything
If we're talking about less people, then shouldn't Yido's group be the one with the least amount of people? Their school doesn't even seem to have backup players, with just exactly three people, and felt quite poor
Gasai and Chifuyu still haven't said a word to each other, and both of the at different sides Meanwhile, Chifuyu hispering so time
I randomly found a place to sit down The roo about their ownwas just like one of those scenes of a tour group about to go traveling as they waited for a tour bus
It's rather refreshi+ng
Only when there were roughly fiveto set out for the venue did the five-colored rooster head co in leisurely, with even a bucket of fried chicken in his arone to just now
”Hallo, are we leaving yet?”
”It's al at the ti immediately stopped, and then took their already prepared backpacks and put them on themselves
”Ziray~~”
Leido saw that his target had appeared, and very excitedly ran over
I could probably already predict his fate
The instant the five-colored rooster head received the box and opened it, the long-lost beast claw once again returned to the world!
”Go to hell, you bastard!”
There was an idiot who got beaten into the wall
The last gathering point before our departure was still at that General assembly venue
For some reason, when I took a look around, I felt like there'sarea was packed until it was super full Even the street vendors that had previously appeared were gone The place was filled with people from different schools everywhere
”Ladies and gentle for the start of the final competition Let's take a look at the scene of all the ten teaether, where the experts chosen by their respective acadeathered here! Before the to be solved by theins, the General assen various fixed points to send back videos to be played here Audience members can also be infor-distance h overhead was just as usual as she loudly and excitedly said The surroundings immediately rumbled with the tremendous sounds of the audience, wherethe name of their school or the names of their players All of a sudden, the entire venue burst into a cla, and the sky was constantly echoing with sounds
”For the final coroups Each group will have five teams respectively, to carry out different coers, in order to test the players' abilities” After the audience section quieted down a little, the announcer started to explain again, ”The first area, Black Willow Ridge, has been identified as a high-risk area by e is filled with nuases and different creatures from other worlds As soon as you set foot into the area, you'll be hit with various attacks And legend has it that within Black Willow Ridge, there is an ancient treasure capable of confining its evil influence In this coroup's players is to locate the ancient treasure that suppresses evil influences, and reseal Black Willow Ridge Do not underestimate this mission So far, there has already been several robe-level experts whohands or on one's own We will dispatch three groups of medical teams ready to help at any time; the General assembly will definitely provide assistance”
”The second area is Lake Town I believe there should be many people who are unaware of the reason why this place has been o, Lake Town started having 'disappearances,' and in just a short night, everyone in the town disappeared without a trace We've sent countless experts there but it was in vain Included a the people who disappeared were a number of robe levels in the town as well as the robe levels ere later sent out All of them disappeared without a sound We have no infor with it, and all we can do is wait and see whether or not these teams will be able to solve this disappearance er level e, or even surpass it This mission is similar to the first one as it can also be completed with cooperation or on one's own We will dispatch three groups of medical teams ready help at any time, and if you have any requests or need the latest information, the General assembly will definitely provide it” The announcer used a very quick way to give a rough introduction of the two locations, and the surroundings once again resounded with the low sounds of discussions
[T/N: I know this isn't very short in English but it is a lot more concise in Chinese]
I secretly glanced at Senior He looked like he was listening very attentively to the announcer, but it was also very likely that he was just staring blankly Then, red eyes turned toward lare
I'
Carefully taking a look, I found out that I wasn't the only one looking left and right As the announcer began her brief safety explanation, there were already several people i all over the place, in particular, thethe five-colored rooster head, as lined up in front
Just as I decided to go back to focusing on what the announcer was saying, a sort of icy feeling caoosebumps
So at me
And that soaze
Even though I really don't want to turn around, but there is soainst my reason I turned around al not too far away
That face-changing person was looking at aze that a snake would use to look at a frog After he was caught looking, he was evenany er and lightly drew it across his neck, the standard throat-cutting gesture
Mom…
I shouldn't have looked
I felt cold from the bottom of my feet to the top of my head, and my whole body was numb I was completely stiff as I slowly turned back to the front
As the saying goes, ”curiosity will cause you to die without a coain re-experienced this Then I realized that I ht be the type of idiot ouldn't be able to remember the lessons he learned, because I have probably experienced this countless of tile tiot myself scared half to death
”Yang Yang, is so beside me, Ryan kind-heartedly issued a soft question, and then behind me, Chifuyu also heard it, and casted a concerned look
”No, nothing,” I quietly replied to him
Otherwise, should I say that there's a perverted face-changing person behindout evil vibes?
[T/N: Perverted as in corrupted I can't find any better words so don't get any weird ideas]
”Don't be nervous” Ryan kind-heartedly patted my shoulder
No, I'm really nervous, especially after I just saw Andellar Evenup on end
”Alright, since the explanations are finished, on't be taking up any more of the players' time The players will be sent to different locations on the stage Dear players, please don't go into the wrong one!” As soon as the announcer finished her words, two vertical, large-scale arrays appeared on the left and right of the venue stage One was golden and the other silver, and then in the array's opening was the legendary black hole where you wouldn't be able to see the other end of it
The surroundings instantly resounded with a huge applause, and then the cheers of the audience shook the entire venue once more
Nn, it's time to set off
”Chu, don't get lost” Senior turned around, and then walked over to the silver array while dragging me by the collar Beside us, Gasai immediately followed
”Let's go, let's go!” The five-colored rooster head issued a loud cheer for finally being set free, and was the first to rush toward the teleportation array and quickly disappear
”I really do envy that idiot” Relasses, Chifuyu tidied up his red robe, put on his mask, and walked over there side by side with Ryan ”Hopefully when he co happens to hi if he was the first one to die”
Uh, nothing should've happened to hiht…maybe…
I watched as the array grew bigger and bigger beforeacross my cheeks, and I felt completely relaxed
”Student Chu, do your best”
At that last second, I see to me, and then it was immediately replaced by another voice
And so, we set off
The final coht before me
