Chapter 102 An Encounter
On the way home, everything was quiet.
Several red-eyed crows cackled on the branches, seemingly pleased with the arrival of a guest from afar. Wherever Bai Yuze, now in his normal human form, went, the crows followed.
It had a slightly eerie and terrifying feel to it...
In the dark ruins,
Bai Yuze was searching for his way home.
During this process, he did not encounter a single car. Yeqiu City's eastern district was a completely deserted suburb with no satellite signal. No normal person would run this way.
He had anticipated this and drove over.
I parked in a rather secluded spot, and it took me about half an hour to find my car. The reason I parked so far away was mainly because I was afraid some unlucky monster might smash it.
Or maybe he got taken advantage of by some thugs.
The question is, why didn't he just transform into a magical girl and fly over? That would have been quicker and easier.
The reason is simple: when he sets foot here again, there will only be one consequence: to avenge Ning Zixuan and lose the identity of Violet.
If he dares to roam freely in Yeqiu City in his guise as the Phantom Butterfly, he will be just as cruel to the Abyss Demoness as the gentle Kikyo Magical Girl is to humans.
After entering the city, Bai Yuze walked alone on the streets.
A few minutes later,
A deafening explosion rang out behind him, and amidst the massive roar and flames, the gift Ning Zixuan had given him vanished in the eastern district of Yeqiu City...
The rain drizzled all the way, the air filled with the fragrance of earth and a faint smell of burning. He finally turned on his phone as he entered the bus stop.
The signal has been restored, and I just turned on my phone.
The first thing that caught his eye was a familiar anime avatar—Tamako's avatar from the love story of Tamako. Bai Yuze was startled when he saw the WeChat video request.
Trying to calm his slightly trembling fingers,
The video call was connected.
On the other end of the video, the phone appeared to be placed on a carpet, and the camera could see small feet wrapped in black stockings. Upon closer inspection, one could almost see several cute little toes wrapped in the almost transparent black stockings.
"Boring, vulgar." Upon seeing this scene, Bai Yuzhe silently gave his opinion.
The abyss spirit, Butterfly, residing deep within his heart, gave him a look of utter disdain.
"Oh, did it connect?"
A familiar female voice came from the other end of the video call very quickly.
As the camera was raised, the view was quickly zoomed out, and the scene from the other side was quickly transmitted. Ning Zixuan was wearing a snow-white lace nightgown, her hair was wet and draped over her shoulders, slightly curled. She was using a hairdryer to dry her hair. From her fair and rosy skin, it could be seen that she had just taken a shower, exuding a fresh and refined temperament.
"I heard you were asking Ning Yuxuan about my resident information this morning?"
Ning Zixuan's eyes curved into crescent moons as she asked with a smile.
Where did you go yesterday?
Bai Yuzhe was certain that he had searched almost the entire residential area where Ning Zixuan lived, and it was impossible for him to miss any place.
Then there's only one possibility.
Ning Zixuan did not go home last night.
"In what capacity do you intend to ask this question?"
Ning Zixuan tilted her head and smiled, turning her body slightly, her skirt fluttering. If the movement was even slightly larger, one could see her stunningly beautiful body underneath.
"brother!"
Bai Yuze answered without hesitation, his voice firm.
"Get lost! You blockhead!" Ning Zixuan cursed angrily. After a long while, she puffed out her cheeks and said irritably, "Yesterday, I was so angry with you that I went to my best friend's house to sleep, so I didn't come home."
"What, are you worried about me?"
"Yes, I just saw the news on my phone and took leave to come and confirm your death. I was afraid you, this menace, were still alive."
Bai Yuze looked up at the sky; the rain had stopped.
The golden sunlight shyly peeked out from behind the dark clouds.
He tilted his phone so the camera couldn't see his face. "I never thought that good people don't live long while scoundrels live for a thousand years. You, this scoundrel, are still alive."
"Just say you're worried about me~ You stubborn tsundere, don't think I can't see your red eyes just because you tilted your phone down."
Ning Zixuan lay back down on the soft new bed, her body slightly bent. The scene was slowly filled with a strange pure white, and even the lace trim seemed to be unable to bear the weight.
A faint, almost imperceptible smile appeared on her lips.
"Bullshit, I just got sand in my eyes."
"Heh, you arrogant brat. Once I'm done with my business, I'll have someone tie you up."
"Idiot."
"Idiot."
The call ended after a full and friendly exchange between the two parties.
Bai Yuze walking on the street,
Besides receiving more than a dozen WeChat messages from Bai Youqing, there were also WeChat messages from Hoshino Seri and Ning Yuxuan. Bai Youqing mainly asked where he had gone all day and why she hadn't seen him all day.
Hoshino Sori's first few posts said that her leave request had been approved for him, while the later posts seemed more like comforting him, as if she had already guessed something from the news this morning.
Among them, Ning Yuxuan's tone was the most resentful. He said that he had already contacted Ning Zixuan, but suddenly he could no longer contact Bai Yuze.
He complained that the two of them were using him as part of a play.
Bai Yuzhe didn't rush home. Instead, he returned to Ning Zixuan's residence and wandered aimlessly along the street beside it.
Drizzling,
It started raining again.
Sitting on the steps, Bai Yuze looked up slightly, gazing at the buildings in the distance that had been reduced to ruins. Most of the people at the scene had already left.
The area was also cordoned off with red warning tape, prohibiting entry to prevent injury.
"Hey! Uncle sitting on the steps by the door, do you need an umbrella?"
Bai Yuze paused for a moment, turned his head, and realized that he was sitting in front of a convenience store. He was not sure if it was his imagination, but the clerk who asked him the question looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.
"No need, I have an umbrella."
He raised the umbrella in his hand and shook his head. It was the magical girl Kikyo who had lent it to him today. "Oh, I see. You're hoping to use this to meet that beautiful magical girl?"
Unexpectedly, instead of him going in, the young waiter came out with two oil-paper umbrellas and placed them in front of him.
"That's impossible! How could a magical girl possibly be interested in a stupid older brother like you who doesn't even know to take shelter from the rain?"
That familiar sharp tongue,
Now, Bai Yuzhe finally saw clearly who this young waitress was—it was Fei Yue, the bad student who had handed him two books on forbidden love last week.
It's like a persistent ghost...
"Feiyue, it's Friday today, don't you have class?"
Bai Yuze glanced at Fei Yue, who was wearing a convenience store uniform with a black Qiuyuan No. 1 Middle School uniform skirt underneath, making her look like she was working a part-time job.
"My family is poor, so I have to work part-time while studying." Fei Yue raised her head, revealing her clear and bright pupils, her arched eyebrows, and her long eyelashes trembling slightly, with a faint trace of sorrow hidden between her brows.
"Teacher, please have pity on me and buy me an umbrella. The convenience store hasn't been doing much business all day."
I'm going to get yelled at later.
This seamless and realistic acting...
If Bai Yuzhe hadn't checked the other party's file information on the first day, he almost would have believed it.
