Demonic Tsundere Boss x Gentle Beauty Receiver 19
away is the location of the audience. He doesn't know how long he has to wait until the lights are turned on again. He needs to be mentally prepared; at least having a place to lean on will make him f...When Ning Shu heard this, a wave of emotions stirred within him, but he didn't show it on his face. He just looked at Li Ya and said, "Player Are you referring to those anomalies"
Li Ye said: "There's no one around, no students. Ning Shu, you don't have to worry, and you don't have to act in front of me. I know you're a player."
She let out a sigh and said, "You don't have to be wary of me. After all, exposing my identity in front of you also comes with risks. I came to you because I want to cooperate. You probably know as well that the difficulty of this dungeon is very high. Out of twenty-three players, only five remain."
Ning Shu did not let down his guard. He stared intently at Li Ya's expression.
"It took him a while to reply, “How did you know I was a player”
Li Yá saw that he was willing to talk to her, so she smiled again: "Because I have a tool that can detect players. But this tool can only be used once, and you are the player I happened to find."
She stared at Ning Shu, her expression somewhat serious as she said, "I don't know if you're clear on why the system emphasizes that players can't know each other's identities."
Ning Shu nodded and said, "I guess it's because there is danger."
Li Ya nodded and praised, "That's right, there is indeed risk. Because players will replace players, when we first heard this information, none of us could understand what it meant to replace identities."
But now I understand, players can take on the identity of another player when they are near failure or death.
"But that's contingent on knowing the player's identity and getting their consent."
Ning Shu was a little surprised: "Seek consent"
Li Ya continued, "Because some players didn't know, they were tricked by other players." Her face wasn't looking too good as she said, "As far as I know, the two remaining out of five people are those who survived by replacing the identities of other players. They were discovered by those students and before they could be killed, they replaced the identity of another player. This way, they avoided being killed by the students."
"The reason I want to cooperate with you is... Ning Shu, you don't want to be replaced, do you"
Li Ya said with a pale face, her eyes filled with the will to survive.
it's impossible not to be moved by it.
Ning Shu nodded, but she continued, "But I can't trust your words."
Li Ya let out a bitter laugh and said, "Actually, I can't trust you either. But I have no other choice. We only have a few days left. I don't know where the other three players are hiding. Only you... I just know who you are..."
She looked at Ning Shu and said softly, "The reason I found you is because I saw you help others, that young man,... "
Li Ya's gaze was fixed on him, a touch of pressure in her voice: "But, haven't you ever suspected that the people around you could also be players"
Ning Shu calmly said, "He isn't, I tested him."
Li Ya shrugged and said, "What if he's deceiving you, Ning Shu Have you ever thought about how dangerous it would be if he had been lurking beside you from the beginning Do you understand the risks"
Ning Shu did not speak.
He felt the black-haired boy wasn't a player, but Li Ya's earnest expression made it seem like he was.
Li Ya didn't say much to him, after all, there were eyes everywhere in this school. Li Ya just said: "I'll come find you again, Ning Shu. If we don't cooperate, you'll never know what those students are capable of."
Then she left.
Ning Shu returned to the dormitory, he was thinking about what Li Ya had said while thinking about the black-haired boy, and then he saw the other's blue eyes looking at him.
He whispered, "How come you're just back now"
The boy with black hair stared at him intently, tilting his head slightly.
Ning Shu didn't know why he felt a little guilty, because he had promised the young man. But then he thought of Li Ya's words and looked at the young man's face.
The black-haired boy possessed a face of otherworldly beauty, exquisitely pretty. Even his blue eyes seemed crafted with divine skill, now glued to Ning Shu's person.
He reached out and hugged Ning Shu's waist.
Seems to be relying on something.
Ning Shu wanted the young man to let go of him, and he suddenly remembered that he hadn't asked the young man's name. He paused for a moment and said, "Your student ID is 001, don't you have a name"
The boy looked at him, licking his scarlet lips: "Yeah."
His eyes were a little glazed as he looked at Ning Shu: "But I can't tell you now."
Ning Shu tried to see other expressions on the black-haired boy's face, but the other party just looked at him with slightly dim and eager eyes. Those blue eyes made him think of the castle of living people again.
He shook his head.
Then, composing himself slightly, Ning Shu felt that the young man was probably not a player. Although he had no evidence, his intuition told him that the other party was not a player.
Ning Shu thought of Li Ya's words about cooperation and couldn't help but ponder.
He cast his eyes down, lost in thought.
But Ning Shu also missed the expression on the black-haired boy opposite him that disappeared in an instant. His blue eyes stared at Ning Shu, and the surrounding darkness seeped out.
Michelle let out a barely audible smile.
He narrowed his eyes slightly.
The corners of her lips twitched upwards slightly.
Michel's eyes were filled with a bloody darkness, he seemed to have not been angry for a very long time, this was the first time.
That's good.
....
On the eighth day, Ning Shu sat in class. He didn't hear any news of another player dying.
Five players, besides him and Li Ya, the remaining three are in hiding.
Li Ya gave him another hint that she wanted to meet.
Ning Shu thought of the other person's previous timid and shy personality, but Li Ya's own personality was completely the opposite. To be honest, if the other person hadn't revealed their identity, he really couldn't tell that Li Ya was a player.
Li Ya said: “So this is human’s will to survive. Players who exposed themselves were already eliminated.”
She pointed towards the teaching building and said, “That’s their graveyard. I saw a player being pushed down by those students with my own eyes. It was all blood.”
Li Ya's face was a little pale as she said, "In their eyes, we are not human at all, but aliens, monsters."
And they are the ones who kill us monsters.
Ning Shu watched as her body trembled slightly from a hint of fear. He pursed his lips and said, "You don't have to cooperate with me, because there are only two days left. In these two days, we just need to act like usual, and we can clear this dungeon."
Li Ya suddenly raised her face, a flicker of despair and obsession in her eyes: "You don't understand, you don't understand, how terrifying these students are, Ning Shu. I don't know why you're so lucky. Only I have seen with my own eyes how those students discovered the players and killed them. Do you know that players have a mall where they can exchange for items Do you know that there are new players and veteran players among these players Can you say that veteran players don't have enough experience"
"Even if they were discovered, there would be ways to escape, but why couldn't they escape"
Li Ya started laughing maniacally, a terrifying sound. She spoke softly, "Because this school has hundreds of students from the previous year. Even with more powerful player items, do you think they could withstand thousands of students"
"No."
After her excitement subsided, Li Ya clenched her fist and quickly regained her composure.
"Whether you believe it or not, tomorrow, Ningshu, come to Building #7 for a meeting. I know those students will do something terrible again. If you don't come, the same fate awaits you as those players."
"Believe me, it's all up to you."
After Li Ya finished speaking, she then turned and left.
Ning Shu watched her back, a slight frown creasing his brow. He felt that although Li Ya's words seemed to have revealed everything, there was something incongruous about it.
The ninth day.
Ning Shu watched the students, they didn't look around like they usually did. They all seemed so calm, just like ordinary students. They were just like any other students in a regular school, studying and taking exams, that was their purpose.
He looked, not knowing why he had a bad feeling in his heart.
Ning Shu felt a little uneasy. He thought about what Li Ya had said.
Tomorrow will be the tenth day.
If the copies fail to clear customs, their fate will be unknown.
Ning Shu finally went to Building No. 7 for teaching and met Li Ya.
Li Ya stood opposite him and said, "I knew you would come, Ning Shu."
She looked at the ground, then spoke: "Those students, they'll change soon..."
"Why am I being dragged into this game, why I was just an ordinary person, I had a family, friends..."
Ning Shu listened to her for a while, but she didn't know what to say back.
He said, "Why do you say that those students will change soon"
Li Ya gazed out, as if seeing into the student classroom. She said, “Because this is the ninth day, yet there are still five people left. These students know we haven't cleared them all out, they must...”
Ning Shu followed her gaze and seemed to see the dark mass of student figures. They didn't seem to be listening to the lecture, and from afar, there was a strange feeling about them.
Unknowingly, Li Ya's body leaned closer.
She said softly, "Look, they think we're monsters, but they're the real monsters. When they kill, there's no human feeling at all, it's terrifying...."
Li Ya quickly laughed, a cruel and sharp laugh: "But they're just things in the copy, nothing important. Does their life matter more than a player's"
She reached out her hand, ready to push Ning Shu.
But instead, he saw the other person take a slight step back.
Ning Shudao: "Li Ya, what are you doing" temperament, tall and handsome.The face looked incredibly handsome and tough, with a high nose bridge that seemed sculpted. However, the expression was somewhat cold, and the eyes were just as stoic...
