Pendragon's Infinity Gauntlet

Page 126

Cold on the outside but warm on the inside, this guy must be a tsundere!

Following Tyr's retreating figure toward the stairs, Jing Shen glanced up at the daunting height, gripped the handrail, and asked the mage ahead, "Speaking of which, why don't we just take the elevator?"

If that alchemist is hiding on the top floor, they'll probably have trouble even breathing by the time they climb up.

"Since we're located underneath the coin, we can't press the button on the coin's surface."

The red-haired girl turned around and gave her a deadpan look.

"So, is the call going through?"

"Clam?"

Tyr was completely bewildered. How did this person's brain work?

"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if it's possible to make a call from the back of a coin to the front."

As Jing Shen said this, he took out his newly bought flip phone.

"Hmph, then you should try it."

The red-haired girl snorted and then showed a helpless expression, the subtext being that she herself didn't know either, as the teacher hadn't taught about the connection between barriers and electromagnetic waves in magic class.

"Okay, I'll try it right away."

As Jing Shen spoke, he leaned back against the armrest and dialed his home phone number on his phone.

"Moshi moshi, this is Index-Libror... no, it's the Kamijou family..."

The voice on the other end of the phone gradually lowered, sounding quite unfamiliar with the situation and somewhat at a loss.

Is this your first time answering a phone call?

A scream came from the other end of the phone, the voice filled with panic at being recognized. Then, the author recognized the voice.

"Is that Jing Shen's voice? Jing Shen, why did you call back? Telephones are such an inconvenient and bad thing for your heart."

Before Jing Shen could even speak, the person on the other end of the phone had already begun lecturing him.

"No, it's nothing."

"Oh. There are two lasagna dishes in the fridge, could it be...?"

"Did you eat it all?!"

The girl instantly went berserk, yelling into the phone in a firm tone.

The boy, who was on the phone at home, sensed something was wrong and broke out in a sweat, but still forced himself to say, "There's still pudding in the fridge..."

"What?! You...ate it? You ate it, didn't you? You ate it, didn't you?!"

Jing Shen couldn't contain his inner "Holy crap!" and yelled at the person on the other end of the phone, and then...

Then she saw the magician who had been waiting for her to make the call turn around and look at her with rather intimidating dead fish eyes.

"Never mind. As long as we can still reach each other by phone, that's fine. I'm hanging up now."

Tyr's sharp gaze helped him recover his memory, and the Cleansing God, remembering why he had made that call, ended his rounds.

"Oh, right, right. It seems like talking on the phone for even a minute reduces your lifespan by a day."

At the last moment, Jing Shen started acting silly, and then the phone suddenly went dead. He really did suffer from his lack of education.

The girl's face showed a doting expression, while Tyr watched the two of them interacting from afar with a quiet expression.

"what happened?"

"fine."

Red Hair looked somewhat helpless, closing his eyes to hide his complex emotions, and said, "I just feel a bit lacking in tension. This is clearly a battlefield, yet you're so relaxed chatting with guys."

Does that mean you need to purify your mind when chatting with a girl, that is, her?

"Having such a rival in love could get you killed, but I wouldn't mind at all."

Tyr said, and continued climbing the stairs, displaying textbook-perfect arrogance.

"They might even raise their hands and cheer, but I don't want you to hold me back."

He kept saying he hoped the other person would die soon, but in the end he still reminded her, and then tried to deny it in various ways, proving his tsundere nature.

"You're jealous."

Jing Shen watched her performance silently, and then, as the girl went upstairs, he suddenly said something to her back and made this judgment.

The red-haired girl slipped and almost fell down the stairs.

Ever since he got a concussion from being hit by a feather, this guy has become much smarter. He's quick-witted and has a sharp intuition... This kid is terrifyingly powerful; he absolutely cannot be allowed to live!

"No, don't get it wrong."

Despite being inwardly panicked, Tyr maintained a composed facade, though his hand holding the cigarette trembled uncontrollably.

"I don't consider him a romantic partner, you probably know that too."

The Goddess of Purity looked completely bewildered. To hide her expression, she deliberately turned her face away, avoiding eye contact with Tyr.

"She has to have all her memories erased every year since then."

As she spoke, the girl turned around and started walking uphill.

“There have been all sorts of people in your current position: father, siblings, friends, teachers... Everyone tried to build various relationships with him.”

"I failed before, and you succeeded, that's all."

Both of them were deliberately hiding their expressions, so neither noticed anything unusual about the other.

However, as Tyr finished speaking, his voice began to distort, becoming slightly more noticeable.

P.S.: My cat's been working really hard, typing away for five hours straight in an internet cafe, surrounded by cigarette smoke. I'll give him some canned food later. IG vs TOP, currently 2-1, I was typing and resisted watching earlier =_=

Chapter 217 I'm cheating on myself!

Chapter 217 Goodbye!

"Our differences are just that."

The Goddess of Purity was in a similar mood to Tyr, and she even felt that she was in a more miserable state.

'That's right, the person who saved Index is not the current me. The person Index is after is the me before I lost my memories.'

I'm cheating on myself!

This mental activity was analyzed by Pendragon's optical brain and displayed on a projection, with a deviation of no more than one percent.

"This person's logic is as ingenious as ever."

Activity room, lounge, canteen...

Tyr and her friend experienced the learning atmosphere of the cram school as if they were just visiting.

"Hmm... This is the first time I've seen a scientific religion, but it's really quite ordinary. I thought there would be a picture of the founder hanging inside."

Yes, in a certain country, although it's not a cult of science, this is indeed the case.

"It certainly doesn't look dangerous."

The girl with the pure spirit had her hands behind her head, looking overly relaxed. Just as she finished making her promise, the once bustling cafeteria suddenly fell silent.

Jing Shen glanced over there again, somewhat puzzled, and found that the students who had been on the surface of the coin and had no interaction with them had suddenly stopped what they were doing and were staring blankly at them, making the atmosphere instantly strange.

"This doesn't seem good."

Tyr broke out in a cold sweat.

"Oh?"

Jingshen stretched and looked at Tyr, who seemed to have become tense, with a bewildered expression.

"Don't you understand? People on the other side of the coin can't see us on the other side."

"The Wings of the Sky are a shining light."

The bespectacled man, who had been planning to study after dinner, suddenly started spouting childish, cheesy remarks.

"The shining light is to reveal the pure white of evil."

The young lady carrying the tray next to them also joined in the fun, reading the next sentence in a monotone and expressionless manner.

"Pure white is evidence of purification."

The three boys sitting at the table spoke at the same time, one of them with half a hamburger in his mouth, making his incantation sound somewhat unclear and distorted.

"Evidence is the result of action."

"Results shape the future."

"The future is time."

Soon, the entire cafeteria, including the cafeteria lady who had Parkinson's disease, joined the ranks of those suffering from chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) and started chanting incantations together.

"Time is uniform, and uniformity is everything."

So many people staring at him with blank expressions and lifeless eyes looked like a group of infected zombies chanting in unison. Even Tyr, who had seen a lot in the world, felt a little eerie and broke out in a cold sweat.

"Is it an automatic alarm?" "Huh?"

The Cleansing God turned to look at Tyr, his gaze questioning.

"The students who were originally on the surface of the coin have now entered the world on the other side of the coin."

On the other side, the chanting of the incantation continued:

"The past is what creates everything."

"The past is the cause, and the cause is singular."

"The only thing is sin, and sin is man."

"People fear sin, they fear being sinful."

"Evil resides within one's own heart."

Everyone stood up, and as the incantation took shape, highly condensed orbs of light appeared between the brows of each student.

"If there are taboos in your heart, use the wings of the sky to expose your sins and expel evil from your body."

A complete sphere of light floated out from between each student's eyebrows, as if their souls had been completely extracted.

This cram school might be the headquarters of a cult.

"Go, 'Imagine Breaker'! It's your turn!"

Faced with such a bizarre scene, Tyr began to panic. She glanced at the shocked Goddess beside her and shouted something.

Then he quickly dashed out of the cafeteria and slipped away.

"Hey!"

Jing Shen called out to the retreating figure who was picking up the goods, but the magician disappeared in the blink of an eye, completely unaware of his frail health as a mage. His movements even resembled those of Shaolin martial arts.

“Real.”

With a helpless sigh, Jing Shen turned around, and the bizarre scene in the cafeteria instantly sent chills down her spine.

What should I do?

The purifying god, submerged in water, also learned a trick from Tyr and turned to run away.

Goodbye to you.

The agility she had honed on the streets with thugs was no joke. Although she had just recovered from her injuries, Jing Shen caught up with Tyr, who was wearing a long coat and robe and had difficulty moving, in the blink of an eye.

Not to mention having some Shaolin martial arts skills, when it comes to running away, even if you're a professional martial arts nun (corresponding to a martial arts monk), you wouldn't be afraid.

"Hey! Don't you dare run away! Your right hand can even block the 'Dragon King's sarcasm,' this is nothing."

"But you turned around without any warning. What were you thinking?!"

Tyr affixed a rune to his body and instantly felt his weight lessen by more than half, allowing him to keep up with the speed of the Cleansing God.

"You dare to say that while using others as a shield!"

Jing Shen put all her effort into running with Tyr, then paused before revealing why she had backed down.

"Though those things look small, there are just too many of them! How can one right hand possibly handle them all!"
