Chapter 56. Revisiting the old place
Night has fallen, and there is a terrible sound rolling in the dark clouds, like a night owl roaring.
Another Mediterranean hurricane is expected to arrive tonight. Classes on Bride Island were closed early today, and the girls were all locked up in their rooms to read.
On the cliff near the south, a strong hand climbed up, with white but muddy fingers exposed in the glove.
With a forceful movement, Xi Ziyue rolled up together with a suit of heavy weapons and equipment.
At eight o'clock in the evening, we finally arrived here.
After more than a month, she returned to Novice Village.
The unreal feeling came again, as if she had just been traveling for more than a month. The next thing she had to do was go back to her room, take a shower and lie down, and have French class early the next morning.
Just as she was about to step forward, branch-shaped lightning suddenly flashed across the sky, illuminating the world for thousands of miles in a pale white.
Then there was a dull thunder, and heavy rain fell from the sky. The raindrops splashed thousands of water splashes on the ground, making it very noisy.
Very unlucky, as soon as I returned to my old place, it started to rain, as if it brought bad luck.
Xi Ziyue turned back unconsciously and looked at the sea cliff behind her. Tens of meters below, the wave smashed into pieces under the rock wall, making a thunderous sound. The rocks were as sharp as canine teeth. She had just come from such a dangerous place.
The one who climbed up was carrying a heavy weapon box.
Even though her physical strength is so strong now, it seems to imply that she is no longer a normal person.
After not seeing each other for a month, she seemed to have become a legendary female agent. She was still wearing a tight-fitting combat uniform, and the lines on her body were vividly outlined, and she suddenly matured a lot.
She moved, climbed down a gentle rock wall, fell into a forest, and moved forward under the cover of heavy rain and darkness.
All students and faculty stayed in the room, so no one noticed her presence.
When she arrived at the dormitory building, she pushed open the copper door, crept in, walked silently up the stairs with cat steps, and finally arrived in front of her room.
She stretched out the key and twisted it gently, and she returned to the room she had not seen for a long time, but she did not turn on the light, leaving it so dark.
Xi Ziyue took off all his equipment and lay in a large figure in the center of the room, looking at the familiar ceiling. The water all over his body soaked into the carpet, and the windows trembled under the roar of thunder.
As quiet as a forest.
The reason why she came back here is not that she is nostalgic, but that she needs a place to settle down with her heavy equipment. Although she has graduated early, Golden Iris College is not a key institution with a prosperous student population, and there should not be any immediately.
Freshmen move in.
Well, actually I still feel a little nostalgic and want to see the place where I once lived.
"Xi Ziyue?" A questioning voice suddenly came from the darkness.
Xi Ziyue was startled, stood up reflexively, raised the gun and jumped back.
How could anyone imagine that there are people in this room!
Xi Ziyue turned on the flashlight and illuminated the person sitting on the bed.
"Winice?" Xi Ziyue was stunned, and the hand holding the gun trembled.
Winnies also looked at the young lady with a stunned look on her face, who had graduated early to become the matron of a large family. For a moment, she ignored the gun in Xi Ziyue's hand.
The two of them looked at each other in a dark and quiet room, with heavy rain and thunder surrounding them outside the window.
...
...
After a while, the two sat down facing each other and lit a small desk lamp, still not knowing how to speak.
Xi Ziyue sat cross-legged on the ground awkwardly, still wearing a wet tight-fitting combat uniform...she looked like she had run away from the set of the Detective series.
The pistol equipped with a silencer was placed in her hand. Since the other party had seen it anyway, she didn't hide it.
Winnie's mood was unexpectedly stable. She didn't make a fuss or yell, but she looked a little complicated and a little embarrassed.
She was wearing pajamas and she must have just taken a shower.
But why did she suddenly appear in her empty room after taking a shower?
Is there some strange hidden secret?
Xi Ziyue thought about it, and a strange picture came up in her mind...
She shuddered and quickly threw these pictures into the recycling bin.
"Actually, I am an agent." Xi Ziyue still chose the most clichéd explanation.
"See...I can see..." Winnis nodded blankly.
"I'm back here to perform a mission." Xi Ziyue continued in a cold tone.
"You can see that too." Winnis continued to be stunned.
Then Xi Ziyue ran out of words.
The scene was so embarrassing that she wanted to find a place to crawl under the bed.
Or simply kill Winis with a Frigga bomb, and since the problem cannot be solved, just solve the person who raised the problem?
Suddenly, Winnieth laughed, covering her mouth with the back of her hand, giggling like a lady. It seemed that she had indeed studied hard in the past month.
"Great, you are still the same Xi Ziyue. Seeing how serious and cold you are, I thought you were just pretending during the year on this island." Winnis stroked her chest, as if
A hanging stone fell to the ground.
This smile enlivened the air, and Xi Ziyue simply relaxed her restrained sitting posture in the dojo and turned her legs sideways, a standard sitting posture for an afternoon picnic.
Although she looks armed in layers, it doesn't change her inner aura. It's like wearing a dinosaur doll and playing with your dog and cat. When the cat sees that you don't look good, it will run away, while the dog will instantly
It recognizes the smell and flutters on you. It doesn't matter what you look like. Anyway, it can identify your true identity by smelling it.
"How are you, everyone?" Xi Ziyue asked following the relaxed atmosphere.
The "everyone" she refers to is unclear, making it seem like she has a good relationship with all her classmates, but this is definitely the right question.
"Everything is fine. Director Miranda was successfully promoted and found a boyfriend," Winnis said.
"Then...congratulations to her?" Xi Ziyue smiled.
"Also, Hekari also graduated early, but her appearance when she left was not as exaggerated as yours. Your place was a large luxury cruise ship, while hers only had a larger yacht."
This is how Winis talked about what happened in the past month.
"Maz's story is also worth talking about. She..."
Xi Ziyue only knew these names, but was not familiar with them.
After naming several people in a row, Winnis suddenly became depressed: "But recently, the island has been a little uneasy, and outside school workers often come in to check the situation in the school."
"These people may be my colleagues." Xi Ziyue said.
Presumably these were the men Elizabeth arranged to go to the island to find the door. They came in for maintenance in the name of school janitors and actually inspected every inch of space here.
But the "door" mentioned by the leader of the invasion team was still not found.
"Then what mission are you performing?" Winnies asked curiously.
"No comment, at least not until the incident is over." Xi Ziyue pretended to be serious.
After the incident is over, Kassel's post-rehabilitation team will parachute in to help those who deserve amnesia lose their memory.
"Okay, then I won't ask anymore, so as not to be silenced." Winnies tilted her head and smiled, and made an "X" gesture in front of her mouth.
"So why did you appear in my room?" Xi Ziyue asked.
This room is still deserted and there is no furniture decoration, which can basically rule out the possibility that Winnies was transferred to this room.
"Because... I always feel that my room may not be safe." Winnis's eyebrows suddenly lowered.
"Not very safe?" Xi Ziyue wondered.
"I've been having nightmares lately, dreaming about very bad things." Winnies said, shaking her head.
At this time, Xi Ziyue noticed that there was a circle of darkness under Winice's eyes, which was obviously a sign that she had not slept well.
"What kind of nightmare is this?" Xi Ziyue was a little wary.
"I don't really remember. Many dreams are like this. I only remember them for a short while after I wake up, and then I forget them." Winnies lowered her head and said.
"So I don't really want to sleep in my own room. I've been sleeping in your room in the past few days, and this is the only room that's empty," she explained.
Xi Ziyue stretched out her hand: "Can you shake my hand?"
"Handshake?" Winnis was puzzled.
"My unique dream interpretation skills as an agent." Xi Ziyue said nonsense seriously.
Now that I think about it, there are really more and more mysteries surrounding this Bride Island.
The Knights of Malta and Napoleon successively occupied this place, and a large group of hybrids with high-level speech spirits left their traces on this island.
Coupled with the clue of "door", the place becomes even more confusing.
No suspicious metaphysical clues can be missed, even if they are just dreams.
Winis reached out her hand doubtfully, and Xi Ziyue also started profiling.
Depression, fear, hesitation, and many negative emotions came from Winnis.
A pair of bright golden vertical pupils pounced into Xi Ziyue's mind!
Xi Ziyue's hands shook, her eyes suddenly opened, and the profile was interrupted.
Cold air poured out of her pores, and a layer of cold sweat formed on her forehead.
More than ten days ago, when she received a mission at Kassel College, she also felt such a sense of fear. She was so scared that she quickly drew the curtains when she was stared at by the huge snake-shaped vertical pupils.
But why, she also profiled Winnis with such a result.
[The Dragon King will not remember that he is a dragon until he becomes the Dragon King]
Greer's words blew past Xi Ziyue's ears like a sinister wind.
The amount of information is getting more and more complicated, and it points to a not very good result - Winnieth may be a dragon.
"Xi Ziyue, what's wrong?" Winnies saw Xi Ziyue's sudden serious silence.
"No, it's nothing. Have you been feeling unwell lately?" Xi Ziyue said, holding her forehead.
"No, my health has been good recently."
"Have you had any very aggressive thoughts recently, such as being suddenly angry, so angry that you don't feel like yourself?" Xi Ziyue continued to ask.
"No." Winnies still shook her head.
"Can you help me pull up the curtains?" Xi Ziyue still held his face with both hands, like a young man who failed to start a business and was thinking about life on a park bench.
"Oh well."
Winnis stood up and walked to the window sill.
Xi Ziyue shot her behind, three gunshots were fired, and Frigga shot.
Winis lay down on the desk, the light of the desk lamp shining on her head, it was no different from falling asleep.
Xi Ziyue remained silent for a long time, with smoke still coming from the muzzle of the gun.
The sound of thunderstorms pounded on the window sides, as if something was knocking on the glass, trying to get in.
Although Xi Ziyue was unwilling to fire this wave of shots at her friend, the current situation was special, so it was better to let her lie down like this.
Xi Ziyue picked up the equipment box again and walked out, locking the door before leaving.
Although the effect of the Frigga bullet is to cause no damage and put you to sleep, in the final analysis, it is indeed an alchemy bullet, and it is also effective against dragons.
Even if Winnis is really an unawakened dragon, she won't be able to wake up for a while, especially if she is a human.
When this incident is over, things that should get better will naturally get better.
Xi Ziyue carried the equipment downstairs, walked out of the dormitory, and stood under the eaves, with the water washing down like a waterfall.
Just as she was planning her next move, a dazzling bolt of lightning struck from the north of Bride Island.
Under the light of lightning, Xi Ziyue saw the statue of the goddess Hera standing on the cliff over there, and suddenly remembered something.
More than a month ago at night, she did see such a scene when she passed by the window in the main teaching building.
The moonlight passed through the scepter in the hand of the goddess Hera, forming a faint band of light in the sky, and that band of light reached directly to the south of Bride Island.
Thinking of this, Xi Ziyue acted immediately, carrying the equipment box and walking into the rain, and came to the south of the school. Here, where she landed on the island, there was a forest and a lake.
The door is in this area, maybe in the woods, but more likely hidden in the lake.
Xi Ziyue stretched out her fingers in the rain, as if giving orders to all things.
The "key" is activated, and the power of Yanling leaks into the gaps in the rain like running water, expanding towards the surroundings.
Target not found.
No matter whether it is in the woods or under the lake, there is nothing that can be opened.
The key is a very special word spirit. The so-called word spirit essentially modifies the rules in the field, which means it has a casting range.
But the key is different. It has no boundary like a domain. It only emphasizes concepts. The door can only be opened unless the door appears in Xi Ziyue's field of vision and is within reach of it.
Moreover, Xi Ziyue had to realize that it was a door.
Xi Ziyue tried to open the profile, but the rain disturbed her.
It feels like the maze has come to an end, the clues are interrupted, and a dead end appears in front of you.
Xi Ziyue closed her eyes and pondered, recalling whether there were any missed details.
Soon, she thought -
Cheats: Wall of Black Sheep.
Since you are trapped in the maze, you might as well try to bring up the map of the maze.
"Black sheep wall!" Xi Ziyue shouted in the rain, and the sound waves penetrated the rain curtain and formed a small echo.
A few seconds later, a small stone fell from the top of the cliff, rolled down the rock wall, and got stuck in a gap.
There is no doubt that the area where the stone is stuck is the door.
Xi Ziyue was stunned.
It's unclear whether the Black Sheep Wall's word spirit technique worked, or whether she shook the stone down through the sound of her voice.
Chapter completed!
