Chapter 110 Mourning
Chapter 110 In Memoriam (Part Two)
On Sunday, the rain drizzled down from the sky, as if sensing the sadness of the city's inhabitants.
Bai Yuze crawled out of bed in pain, feeling as if the medicine he took last night had no effect, and the strange dreams he had last night felt even more real.
Looking at myself in the mirror,
He hesitated.
Listening to the pattering of raindrops on the glass, he seemed to see the figure of a teacher, and his heart quickly made a decision.
There are still one or two months left.
He must at least stand his post until the very end; he's taught those monsters in the abyss before.
"Brother, how are you? If you're not feeling well, then stay home and rest."
Bai Youqing pushed open the door and came in. She immediately noticed her brother's haggard appearance and felt a pang of heartache. Could he have caught a cold?
"I'm fine. Today is the National Memorial Day."
Bai Yuze opened his phone and glanced at it. The first thing he saw was the live broadcast of today's memorial day. Most of the shops were closed, and tens of thousands of people crowded on both sides of the road.
The host is reporting on the list of magical girls and frontline personnel who sacrificed their lives on the front lines in Yeqiu City, as well as the life stories of each magical girl.
Bai Yuze chose to ride an electric bike to Yeqiu City Cemetery instead of taking a taxi, as the roads were very congested that day.
Many special agents were deployed to maintain order, and there were also many magical girls in the sky, all to prevent sudden attacks by disaster beasts and destruction by evil witches.
Bai Youqing was originally one of the members maintaining order, and she heard that there were many merit points, but thinking about her brother's condition, she still asked the captain for leave.
Bai Yuzhe led Bai Youqing slowly forward through the crowd. Although there were many people, they walked in a very orderly manner. They were among the later arrivals, but there was still a long line of people behind them that seemed to stretch into the distance.
Upon entering the funeral home, Bai Yuze and Bai Youqing presented them with a bouquet of flowers, after which Bai Yuze began to walk along another path.
Bai Youqing followed behind with a puzzled look on her face.
Where are we headed?
As we made our way up the mountain along the winding path, we opened our umbrellas. The puddles on the bluestone slabs reflected the lush pine and cypress trees on both sides, and birdsong could be heard rising and falling among the trees.
Upon reaching the mountainside, Bai Youqing encountered a group of parents dressed in black.
Those people also turned their gazes over, their faces gloomy and their eyes extremely unfriendly. As soon as Chen's mother saw Bai Yuze and his sister coming over, she hurriedly pulled them to her side, saying, "Teacher Bai is here."
Before Bai Youqing could ask Bai Yuze why he came here,
The next second, Bai Yuze was hit hard by a heavy punch and fell to the ground. His clothes and trousers were soaked by the rain, and his white shirt was also covered with mud.
Bai Youqing was stunned for a moment, then quickly helped her brother up, stood in front of him, and glared at him angrily: "Why did you hit my brother?"
The assailant was a tall, somewhat thin young man. "Heh, I'm hitting your brother."
When he saw a high school girl blocking Bai Yuzhe's way, the young man got even angrier and wanted to rush up and hit Bai Yuzhe.
However, this action was stopped by the surrounding crowd, and the young man shouted angrily.
"Bai Yuze, is this how you act as a teacher? You can't even protect the safety of a few students. I trusted you so much back then."
"Pah!"
Amidst the cacophony of persuasion, Bai Youqing gleaned a preliminary understanding of the matter from the murmurs of those around her.
A year ago, my older brother took his class on a field trip to Akizuki Mountain, but a sudden disaster occurred.
Four people died and one was injured or killed. The people in front of us are the family members of these victims.
If she hadn't accompanied her brother on this trip, she wouldn't have known that her brother had experienced a calamity in the past.
However, this is not the time to think about these things.
A gentle breeze, slightly damp, brushed against her hair, causing her long, glossy black hair to flutter lightly in the air. Bai Youqing gripped her brother's hand tightly, meeting his gaze coldly.
"When faced with an abyssal beast, can an ordinary person stop it? My brother was leading thirty or forty students back then, and he also had to be responsible for the other students. Moreover, I firmly believe that if my brother felt that he could exchange his life for these four sisters, he would definitely have been willing to do so."
The girl's clear voice rang out loudly in the crowd, showing no sign of stage fright.
Because she truly believed,
My older brother is definitely that kind of person.
Bai Yuze lowered his head. He might not have been able to do it for anyone else, but he was willing to do it for these four students.
That's what we did, but unfortunately things didn't go as planned.
"Hmph, hindsight is 20/20. Anyone can say that. Bai Yuze, you're a coward! You're not fit to be a teacher at all!!"
! "
"Enough!" the middle-aged man spoke up, slapping the young man across the face. A hint of anger flashed across his usually stern face. "This is your sister's gravestone. Do you want outsiders to disturb her rest?"
Bai Yuze stepped out from behind Bai Youqing, stood in front of the middle-aged man, and bowed. "He's right. I'm a coward. I failed to take good care of my students."
"Our family matters are none of your concern, outsider. You are not welcome here."
Chen's mother stood to the side, wanting to say something, but noticing the hostility most of the crowd around her felt towards Bai Yuze, she sighed deeply and ultimately said nothing. Chen Yao had originally intended to come as well, but she was stopped by Chen's mother.
Bai Youqing led Bai Yuzhe down the mountain and took out a tissue to wipe the blood from her brother's mouth.
The young man's punch was undeniably powerful; his once delicate cheek swelled up, making him look incredibly embarrassed.
"Brother, shall we go back?"
Bai Youqing asked cautiously, believing that her brother must be feeling terrible at the moment.
at the same time,
She was also filled with rage towards those calamity beasts. If she hadn't come today, she wouldn't have known that her brother had encountered a calamity and almost didn't make it back.
"Why don't you go to your teacher for your extra lessons? Studying is the most important thing. I'd like to walk around here by myself, is that alright?"
Bai Yuze's gaze followed the crowd and landed on a familiar face.
Peng Liang, dressed in a black suit, was holding a black umbrella, looking like a guest attending a funeral.
"Okay, call me if you need anything."
Bai Youqing hesitated for a moment, but finally handed him the umbrella and went down the mountain timidly.
As Bai Youqing's figure gradually disappeared into the distance, Bai Yuzhe slowly approached Peng Liang's side. This was the second cemetery area, the magical girl's cenotaph.
This included the four students from earlier. Those parents were actually parents of former members of the Violet Team.
Looking at the rows of familiar faces in front of the graves, Bai Yuze felt extremely complicated and guilty. Some of these people might not even recognize him.
But he knew most of the people here. Most of the tombstones here belonged to magical girls who died at the hands of the Demoness, especially the four young girls in the second row in the front row.
Although he woke up in the abyss and lost his memory of that time, the numerous clues connected together made comparisons almost unnecessary.
The truth will come out on its own.
In the continuous rain, the two walked through every row and column, presenting each with a bouquet of fresh flowers mixed with white and yellow chrysanthemums.
Peng Liang leaned against a stone pillar, gazing at the hazy rain scene. He had been in the crowd when Bai Yuze was beaten, ready to lend a hand.
However, Bai Youqing stepped forward, so he retreated.
He had only just learned that Bai Yuze had such a dangerous experience.
In the endless silence,
Bai Yuzhe took out a piece of chewing gum from his pocket and handed it to Peng Liang.
The refreshing sweetness of mint lingered in his mouth, with a faint hint of rust, but he didn't pay it any mind.
"Did you find any information from yesterday's disaster?"
?
Bai Yuze spoke up, this was the first time he had asked Peng Liang about information related to the calamity.
Normally, Peng Liang would be very happy, but at this moment, he shook his head and refused to reveal any information to Bai Yuzhe.
"Brother Bai, you know this is confidential; we can't tell ordinary people."
"Mm." Bai Yuze nodded to indicate that he understood.
Peng Liang turned around, looked at the other man's haggard face, and patted him on the shoulder. "Brother Bai, don't worry, I will definitely help you get to the bottom of the Qiuyue Mountain incident. Whether it's the abyss monster or the evil witch, I will make them regret it."
Bai Yuzhe remained silent for a moment. He only wanted to know what had happened yesterday, but he didn't want Peng Liang to get involved. This was something Peng Liang couldn't possibly be involved in, but he didn't know how to say it.
The other party was the captain of the Secret Service, whose duties and mission were to do this, while he was just an ordinary citizen who shouldn't have been involved.
at the same time,
Bai Youqing, who was sitting on the bus, was not idle either. She opened CCSA and browsed it repeatedly, first checking Senior Violet's account.
The other party hasn't sent any class information in the group for several days. Every day they just have them do test papers and memorize the Magical Girl Rules and the Complete List of Disaster Beasts.
Just looking at it gave her a headache. After closing Senior Violet's personal profile page, she opened the page about the calamity that had occurred in Guannan District a few days ago.
She was also quite concerned about Ning Zixuan's situation.
Upon clicking, she discovered she lacked sufficient permissions, requiring S-level access, while even after summoning her magical artifact, she only had C-level access.
It's infuriating that I can't even see things because I have limited access.
Left with no other option, she started browsing various news and information platforms.
"Breaking news: A man in Tianxin District was playing a visual novel at night when he became sexually aroused and attacked his sister. The two have since disappeared."
"Breaking news: A middle-aged man appeared in Green Garden in Yeqiu City, wielding a sharp knife, and brutally murdered more than a dozen people and a golden retriever in the garden, before mysteriously disappearing."
"Breaking news: A female student from Changya High School has gone missing. The Secret Service is searching for her. If you have any information, please contact the Secret Service immediately..."
But as she scrolled along, she started to feel something was wrong.
Why do I feel like lately...
Social order seems to have deteriorated considerably.
Just as she was about to search for relevant information on CCSA,
Suddenly I noticed that Senior Violet's account was online.
Bai Youqing immediately became excited and contacted the other party, "Senior Violet, when are classes starting? We haven't had a class in ages, and we're getting so bored doing tests every day. And yesterday I was in the next area, and I think I ran into a very cunning demon—."
Violet: "Something has happened recently, so I'm afraid you won't be able to see me for a while."
Bai Youqing: "What should we do then? We have too little practical experience." (Cute emoji)
Violet: "How about this, isn't Kikyo the Magician also in Yeqiu City recently? I'll give you Kikyo the Magician's account, you can go find her."
Bai Youqing: "Huh? Kikyo the Magician? Is it that strongest magical girl, Kikyo?"
Violet: "Yeah, I think so."
This time,
Bai Youqing's initial disappointment turned into excitement, and she quickly shared the good news in the group. She was so surprised that the strongest mage, Senior Violet, knew the other party.
On the other side, Bai Yuze walked alone on the street with an umbrella, enjoying the unique scenery of strolling in the rain.
Did the magic of the bellflower make him recognize her?
If so!
However, he believed that the other party would not refuse these adorable magical girl juniors.
After all, the Demon Princess Phantom Butterfly hasn't appeared for so long, so Kikyo the Magician must be bored out of her mind. Let's find something for her to do.
Sigh, I'm so thoughtful.
Bai Yuze put down his phone. There was no need to worry about the magical girl junior for now. The next step was to start investigating the location of the villainous witch.
As for why he went to cause trouble for the Villainess Association...
on the one hand:
Although Ning Zixuan didn't die, he couldn't let this grudge go unavenged. He wasn't sure whether his sister was targeted by the Abyss or the Evil Witch Association.
But judging from Binghe's doubts and resentment before his death, these two incidents were most likely orchestrated by the Wicked Witch. With both new and old grudges, he would be doing himself a disservice if he didn't seek revenge on the Wicked Witch.
on the other hand:
He went looking for revenge but went to the wrong person, lost his ID card, and had his body inexplicably damaged. It would be strange if he didn't harbor resentment towards the villainous witch.
During this time, Bai Yuze had been focusing on his own little world and didn't know much about the Villainess, nor did he have much information to look up on CCSA.
The abyssal beasts lurking in Ye Qiu City must know something about the evil witch, but unfortunately he doesn't have the authority to mobilize them.
He thought about it carefully and realized that capturing evil witches was a professional matter that required specialized personnel.
But thinking about this reminds him of something else.
Back then, he was bored out of his mind, so he specifically formulated a rule that if an inspector accepted a special mission in another location, he must verify the identity and authority of the other party offline before allowing them to accept the mission.
Now that the Violet ID card is banned, how is he supposed to meet them?
throat!
Once home, he locked all the doors and windows from the inside, like a thief.
He opened the wardrobe and found the 'toolbox' at the very back.
Bai Yuze took a deep breath, first performed a hair removal procedure on himself, then found a woman's dress to wear, and finally put on a hairnet to do his makeup.
He hadn't worn women's clothing in a long time; the last time was when he was forced by Iris in the Abyss to purify the Abyss Nitrogen in Violet Star.
He was quite skilled in makeup, having learned a great deal from Iris through constant exposure.
Bai Yuze carefully applied his makeup. He was somewhat relieved that he wasn't as burly as Peng Liang, but rather a delicate and slender type, making the makeup application relatively easy and the clothes he wore didn't look out of place.
An hour later, Bai Yuze looked at the exquisite woman in the mirror. He thought that even his own sister probably wouldn't recognize him now.
Finally, she put on a black lace choker to cover her Adam's apple and chose a silver wig that suited her.
She glanced up slightly, startled, and saw a fairy-like beauty reflected in the mirror opposite her; her eyes were as clear as autumn water.
Clear and bright, only occasionally flashing a complex and subtle expression.
With a slight upturn of her lips, the beauty in the mirror smiled with captivating charm.
Ning Zixuan, I've sacrificed so much to help you get revenge.
