Liu Yuan was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Lin Qiye to let him go so readily.
Is he afraid of me?
Was I particularly imposing just now?
Thinking of this, Liu Yuan unconsciously straightened his back, glanced at Lin Qiye, snorted coldly, and swaggered out with Han Ruoruo in his hand.
After the two figures disappeared into the corridor, one of the boys from the Axe Squad approached Lin Qiye and whispered:
"Brother Qiye, are you really just going to let them go like that? He stole your girlfriend! How about... we teach him a lesson for you?"
The Axe Squad members had witnessed Lin Qiye's fighting prowess firsthand and now revered him like a god. Seeing Liu Yuan so arrogantly leaving with Han Ruoruo, they were furious.
"No need, Han Ruoruo isn't my girlfriend." Lin Qiye smiled slightly, giving the departing couple a long, drawn-out look. "Besides... I'm actually very happy right now, really."
"?"
The boy glanced at Lin Qiye in surprise, his expression immediately turning strange. Lin Xi Chen alone gives him a thumbs up with a serious expression, though she keeps her eyes closed to try and suppress her laughter.
Good heavens, could it be that Brother Qiye... has that kind of fetish?
Li Yifei suppressed a laugh and patted Lin Qiye on the shoulder, "Congratulations on getting what you wanted."
"Um."
Lin Qiye turned to look at the students in the corridor. "Is that all?"
"Yes, all the survivors from the second year of high school are here." Li Yifei nodded, then leaned close to Lin Qiye's ear, "Among them, are there any...?"
"No." Lin Qiye's lips curled up slightly. "The only one has already eloped with Liu Yuan."
"Haha, that's good."
"Take them to the main hall. Once the Nanda snake demon's true form is eliminated, we can leave," Lin Qiye said, turning to Li Yifei and An Qingyu.
"Okay, I'll tell them right away." Li Yifei stepped forward and explained to the students, while Lin Qiye walked alone to the edge of the railing, frowning as he gazed into the distance.
"The main body hasn't been found yet?"
Lin Qiye turned his head and saw that it was An Qingyu who spoke. He nodded slightly, "You've been following me all this way. Did you discover anything?"
An Qingyu was silent for a moment, then said, "I've discovered something..."
An Qingyu leaned close to Lin Qiye's ear and whispered something to him. Lin Qiye's gaze narrowed slightly, and his brows furrowed even more tightly.
"Are you sure?"
"Uncertain," An Qingyu shook his head. "I know too little about this creature to make an accurate judgment."
"I see."
"I have a request," An Qingyu said again.
"What?"
"I want that." An Qingyu pointed to Lin Qiye's crotch. Lin Xi Chen immediately chuckled and wiped away the tears lingering at the corners of her eyes.
Lin Qiye's expression changed.
"I was talking about guns."
Lin Qiye hesitated for a moment, then took the pistol out of his pocket and handed it to An Qingyu. "We only have three bullets left. Do you know how to use this?"
"I learned it from TV."
"That's enough. Your skill level should be better than mine." Lin Qiye sighed.
An Qingyu silently put the pistol into her pocket, thinking, "I hope I'll never need it."
"Um..."
A moment later, Li Yifei led all the students on the fifth floor over.
"They're all here."
"Take them to the auditorium. The monsters in the school should be mostly gone now, so there shouldn't be any danger. I'm going to search for the true form of the Nandaka Serpent Demon," Lin Qiye said.
"Leave it to me," Li Yifei patted his chest.
Lin Qiye nodded, and with a flicker, disappeared into the corridor.
After Lin Qiye left, a large group of people crowded around Li Yifei, asking him questions one after another.
"Li Yifei, go down and rescue people! What happened?"
"That's right! How did Lin Qiye and Lin Xi Chen suddenly appear!"
"Did they really kill all the monsters by themselves?"
"Of course it is! Didn't you smell the blood on them? It's so pungent!"
"How did they do that? Who exactly are hey?"
"..."
Li Yifei glanced at the group of girls whose eyes were shining, and silently rolled his eyes. "If you want to know, just ask them yourself later."
After saying that, he turned and walked away.
Hmph, you girls, once you leave here, your memories will be wiped clean. It would be a miracle if you still remembered Lin Qiye then!
Li Yifei muttered to himself.
With the monsters all killed, everyone gradually relaxed, and the girls' discussion about the mysterious boy, Lin Qiye, became increasingly heated.
The boys from the Axe Squad, who had followed Lin Qiye and killed monsters all the way, couldn't help but come forward and excitedly describe how awesome Lin Qiye was, leaving all the girls mesmerized.
Just then, Teacher Wang walked up to them and quietly uttered a sentence:
"No early romantic relationships allowed..."
All the girls:...
Lin Qiye, carrying a straight sword, ran swiftly through the campus, reaching out to turn on his headset.
"Sister Hongying, how is she?"
"We've found some traces; the Nanda snake demon seems to have headed north."
"North?" Lin Qiye was taken aback. "Where in the north? The cafeteria? The art building? The playground? The teaching building?"
"I don't know, Xiao Nan and I are searching the cafeteria."
"Okay, then I'll go check out the art building." Lin Qiye turned around and ran straight towards the art building.
The Arts Building is arguably the newest building at No. 2 Middle School, having been constructed about five or six years ago. A few years ago, the country promoted the joint development of students' culture and art, and the school specially invested in building this building.
However, after it was built, the students were unable to attend art classes very often, as if the teacher would inexplicably fall ill during every art class.
The art building is not tall, only three stories, but the rooms inside are quite diverse, with rooms dedicated to sketching, sculpture, dance, and more...
Lin Qiye ran quickly down the first-floor corridor without sensing anything unusual. But when he reached the second floor, a scene suddenly appeared in his mental perception...
Lin Qiye's expression immediately became quite interesting....
"Ruoruo...why didn't we run out of the school and instead hid in the music room?" Liu Yuan asked softly, glancing out the window as he held Han Ruoruo in his arms.Han Ruoruo lifted her head from his embrace, a slight smile playing on her lips, and spoke softly:
"What's the point of going out? It's quieter here... I can do some interesting things here."
Liu Yuan felt as if an electric current had passed through his body, leaving him feeling tingly and numb. He swallowed hard. "What is it?"
"What do you think..." Han Ruoruo leaned close to his ear, her soft voice making Liu Yuan's heart itch with desire.
"There are still monsters outside, this... isn't that a bad idea?" Liu Yuan felt a surge of anger rising in his heart, but reason was still reminding him that he couldn't do this.
"What's wrong with it? Could it be..." Han Ruoruo reached out and gently hugged his body, her tongue lightly licking Liu Yuan's cheek like a dragonfly skimming the water.
Just as Liu Yuan's last shred of reason was being extinguished and his hands were about to roam over Han Ruoruo's body, Han Ruoruo softly uttered the second half of her sentence.
"Don't you... want me to eat you?"
Han Ruoruo's mouth split open, revealing a grotesque, fleshy head that bloomed against Liu Yuan's face, its sharp, densely packed teeth sending chills down one's spine!
Liu Yuan's pupils dilated rapidly!
He opened his mouth and screamed desperately, trying frantically to break free from Han Ruoruo's arms, but he couldn't get away at all!
"Ruoruo...you, you're actually one too..."
"No, no!!"
"No!! I beg you! I don't want to die!!"
At this moment, he seemed to recall the scene when he left the fifth floor with his head held high. If he hadn't left back then... perhaps he wouldn't be in such a desperate situation now!
"Lin Qiye... Lin Qiye!"
"Help me!"
Amid Liu Yuan's frantic wailing, a crisp sound of a door opening rang out.
Han Ruoruo and Liu Yuan were both taken aback and turned to look.
Lin Qiye, carrying a straight sword on his back, stood there quietly, watching everything...
"Qiye! Lin Qiye!"
"Qiye! Lin Qiye! Ruo Ruo is a monster! Quick! Save me!!"
Liu Yuan felt like he had found a lifeline, his eyes lit up, and he struggled frantically in Ruoruo's arms, drawing strength from who knows where!
Lin Qiye touched his nose.
He smiled somewhat apologetically.
"Excuse me, I'm just enjoying the show... Please continue..."
Bang!
The door to the music room was slammed shut.
Then, a click.
The door was locked from the inside...
