Chapter 162

"Aaaah!!!"

With a scream tearing through the dawn, the entire Full Moon Academy woke up as well.

The Full Moon Queen and Li Cheng looked at each other; both knew clearly that another murder case had occurred.

Worry surfaced on half of Vivian's face, while Anna's face held only mockery: "Since we already know who the culprit is, let's go catch him."

"Hmm..." Li Cheng nodded: "Things aren't that simple; we aren't prepared to kill Dian Huo yet."

"Regardless, let's go to the crime scene first."

After all, calculating the time, the people from the Tianming Divine Court should have arrived too; following the original plot, they would immediately pin the blame for this murder case on Master Tata.

"Hmm, then you two handle these things first; I'm going back to sleep."

Anna said, yawning.

"Are you hiding something from me?" Vivian frowned.

"What are you talking about? I'm not hiding anything from you; I'm just tired." Anna thought to herself, is it that obvious? But she still forced herself to answer.

Of course it's obvious; with your crazy woman personality, how could you possibly not meddle in this kind of thing... Li Cheng shook his head: "Is it the influence of the Death Witch?"

"No..." Anna still wanted to argue, but looking at Li Cheng's serious eyes, she finally conceded: "That's right. Just now, for some reason, the power in my body became disordered, but it's fine; this has happened before, and it won't be long before I can adjust it."

"Bad woman, you better not be lying to me!" Vivian shouted.

"Of course I wouldn't lie to you, you love-brain." Anna coldly snorted: "What? Are you hoping I die soon?"

"You, I'm just concerned about you, and you treat me like this..."

"Hmph, I don't need your concern, you big-chested brainless love-brain."

"You..." Vivian was momentarily rendered speechless. After two seconds of silence, her eyes rolled: "My chest is your chest; you say I'm big-chested and brainless, which isn't to say you aren't big-chested and brainless yourself!"

"..." Anna's mouth corner twitched: "Are you an elementary school student... idiot."

"Call me an idiot?" Vivian's eyes trembled: "Reflect!"

"You MF... forget it..." Anna decided to ignore this idiot and retreated into her mind's window.

Li Cheng watched these two heavyweights bicker, finding it rather amusing.

Looks like Anna should be fine.

That power disorder was likely because the Death Witch sensed her own presence.

But why is this Death Witch watching me?

No, you Mother Goddesses, Witches, whatever you are, why are you all so downhead? "Um, Li Cheng Brother, this is for you." Saying this, Vivian fished out a small talisman paper from her bosom and handed it to Li Cheng.

"Is this a Contact Rune?" Li Cheng accepted it.

"Not an ordinary Contact Rune. With this rune, as long as you move your mind, you can contact me, and it won't be interfered with by abilities below Tenth Rank."

As Vivian spoke, the Contact Rune turned into light spots, drifted onto Li Cheng, and fused with him.

And Vivian's face also turned red.

Her giving this Contact Rune to Li Cheng wasn't just so he could contact her; this Contact Rune also had positioning and early warning functions.

If Li Cheng encountered a crisis, she would know immediately.

10,000 years of separation; Vivian would no longer allow Li Cheng to disappear from her world.

"Then, Li Cheng Brother, you go ahead first; I'll be there in a bit."

"Oh, why not go together?" Li Cheng raised an eyebrow.

"Aiya, you made me like this; I have to clean up a bit..." Vivian muttered.

She wiped the filth from her mouth corner, looked at the turbid fluids on her body, and the steam on her forehead grew thicker.

"Then alright, I'll go ahead."

Li Cheng nodded without hesitation and left the Full Moon Queen's room.

Just as he stepped out, Lilith floated behind Li Cheng, patting her bulging Baby Cafeteria, breathing deeply: "Aiya, Li Cheng scared me to death; I really thought you were going to be done for!"

"Rare; it's just my defeated general underfoot." Li Cheng glanced at her.

"Do you know you just went through a Shura field?" Lilith was speechless: "This tiny Full Moon Academy has Vivian, Anna, Tata, Liuli, Abyssal Eye Witch... wow, so many women, I really don't know how you'll handle them..."

"You won't be the first Savior to get the chopper, will you?"

"Hmm, that is a bit of a problem." Li Cheng murmured.

Although it's just playing a game right now, the female NPCs in this game Tianming Birth indeed each have their own personalities; if left unchecked and time isn't managed well, there really is a risk of save file corruption.

"But luckily I have Regeneration Regression now; if I really encounter an unsolvable Shura field, I can just reload and start over."

"Hehe, if the World Tree old man knew you're using Regeneration Regression like this, who knows what expression he'd make..." Lilith looked regretful.

"I'd quite like to see what expression he'd make if he knew I once stuck a face on his buttocks." Li Cheng smiled and looked at his attribute panel.

Just now from Anna, he obtained a portion of the Death Witch's power.

【Direct Death Magic Eye (Fine): 【This is the Authority power exclusive to the Death Witch. Theoretically, this ability's rating should be above Unique and Concept Level, but you only obtained a portion of her ability fluctuations, so the rating is only Fine.】

【You have not yet obtained a method to upgrade this ability.】

【Perhaps the key to upgrading this ability lies on the Death Witch.】

【Every 24 hours you can designate a target and see the weak points on that target's body.】

This is an ability that couldn't be obtained in the original work; after all, the Death Witch has always been a legendary figure living in the background story.

Players only make contact with her in the game's late game.

"What's this? I thought it was some incredibly powerful power." Lilith muttered: "For example... being able to see the entanglement of an enemy's Death Lines; one slash and the enemy turns to dust!"

"This weak point detection, well, it's useful, but not completely useful."

"Hehe."

Li Cheng smiled instead; although this ability isn't particularly powerful, combined with a certain ability he currently possesses, it becomes a rather buggy ability.

He could feel that this Evil Path School's combat power was still rising.

"Did you think of another way to use an ability again!" Lilith lay on Big Boss's back, an exaggerated Color Art surfacing on her face: "Oh come on, tell me."

"Alright alright..." Big Boss smiled: "Did you forget? I have an ability that can bestow the concept of a face onto enemies."

"The concept of a face? Wait... don't tell me?" Lilith's Eye Trembled, then her Expression as she looked at Big Boss was like looking at a monster: "Defying Heaven is truly Defying Heaven, how did you come up with such a Defying Heaven Operation?"

Her lips turned white, her hands trembling, as if she had heard some inconceivable ghost story.

Lilith had a Premonition that if this set of ability usage methods could be realized, Big Boss's Birth degree would rise even further!

Exiting the Full Moon Queen's Office, he walked down three floors along the Armrest stairs.

More and more students surrounded the Surroundings; the look of it suggested that morning's scream had indeed Attracted quite a few people's attention.

The Academy's Mage Guard had already pulled up barriers, blocking unrelated people outside.

Big Boss squeezed with difficulty out of the Eat Melon Crowd's crush, his eyes reflecting a Familiar figure.

Deep black Long Robe, wide Mage Hat, black shoulder-length Long Hair, and Crimson pupils like Rubies — if not his good master Tata, who else could it be?

And right now at her side, a circle of guards wearing Noble Long Robes surrounded her.

A golden-haired youth, Sunny smile, Elegant bearing, was being Entourage/Retinue-ed by guards, standing In Front of Tata, saying something.

The moment Big Boss saw Latanaya, the girl also saw Big Boss.

She immediately cast a pleading Gaze.

Big Boss Observed those Noble guards' attire, then looked at the youth speaking with Tata.

Relying on his multi-New Game Plus player's thorough knowledge of the game, he could be certain these people all came from the Tianming Divine Court.

And that speaking youth was even from the Royal Clan.

"Tata, how are you here too?"

He walked to the two's side, just wanting to enter, but was stopped by guards.

"King's Court business, idlers keep out."

Big Boss narrowed his eyes, not yet speaking, but Tata darted out in a puff of smoke, hid Behind his back, a Timid Appearance.

"Oh my, is it Tata's friend?"

That golden-haired youth, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, but was quickly suppressed, switching back to a smile.

"Big Boss let's go, he is the Tianming Divine Court's Four Imperial Grandsons, Ji Bo, a Hateful guy, always Pestering around me."

Latanaya spoke softly Behind Big Boss, tugging his Clothes trying to Bring him away.

Ji Bo?

Big Boss raised an eyebrow, how could someone be called this name.

If a Chang were added after the name...

He was just thinking, when Ji Bo walked over: "Tata, won't you introduce to Royal Brother me? Isn't that a bit impolite?" The Red Moon Empire and Tianming Divine Court had conducted multiple political marriages.

Of course these marriages were basically in name only, after all the Blood Clan are mostly frigid, and have no reproductive Ability/Capability.

But nominally speaking, the relationship between Heavenly Destiny Nobility and Red Moon descendants is inseverable, tangled.

By seniority, Latanaya should call Ji Bo Biao-ge.

"Uh..." Lasa-niya wilted, Helplessly: "Understood, Royal Brother, this is my disciple—"

Latanaya hadn't finished, when Big Boss directly Interrupted her: "I am her fiancé, the kind with a set engagement."

Ji Bo:??? All guards:???

Eat Melon Crowd:??? Latanaya: Huh?

Big Boss and I are together? How do I not remember?

She looked at Big Boss's profile, Pupils continuously flickering.

Indeed, my good disciple, is just such a reserved person ah.

Usually unwilling to Confess to me, Acting like she only has teacher-student feelings for me.

But once encountering another man, that possessiveness whooshes up.

My good disciple, is really too Gentle!

How can there be such a good man ah! He really, I cry die! Latanaya Miss's heart, Instantly sweet as honey.

Looking at the Crowd's React, Big Boss instead smiled faintly.

Him saying he was Latanaya's fiancé at this moment was not to act as her shield.

But he suddenly Realized, this was a best chance to escape a Shura field.

Vivian's side was still manageable, dumb Love Brain, easy to fool.

But that woman Anna's Human Heart is like a mirror; if she asked what relationship Big Boss and Tata had, Big Boss fobbing her off with master-disciple identity would definitely not fool her.

Since so, then act contrary to the expected way.

From today on, he is Latanaya's fiancé.

If Anna asks, he'll say on the road he encountered Ji Bo Bullying Latanaya, couldn't help but act, became Latanaya's shield, helped her Defend against this Biao-ge Ji Bo's threat.

Between him and Tata, pure beyond compare.

All relationships are Disguised.

Anna knowing afterwards, although heart still displeased, won't say anything more.

After all Big Boss doing this was also to Protect Vivian's student.

Even If he later goes out alone with Latanaya again, it's nothing, that's all him Playing the role of his shield.

Big Boss felt himself simply steady as hell.

Though he didn't speak the plan, Lilith standing beside him still read this newborn East-West thing, what was in his head.

Her Mouth Corner Pulled: "Actually using this kind of method to resolve a Shura field..."

"On the surface he looks like he's Acting as a fiancé's shield, Actually he's Acting as a shield's fiancé."

"Vivian is on the 1st floor, Anna is on the 2nd floor, while Big Boss... is in the atmosphere!"

"This guy is absolutely a natural-born scumbag Holy Body!"

No matter what Lilith thinks, anyway Ji Bo's face can't hang on anymore.

The smile on his face has become extremely stiff, looking at Latanaya: "You would rather choose a magic academy student, than be willing to choose me, this Royal Clan member?"

"Then... sorry?" Natanaya tentatively says: "Actually you are a good person?"

Ji Bo: "..."

You might as well not have said it...

After being given the good person card, Ji Bo's face turns even more green and purple.

And the guards following him all around are also holding back laughter.

This Tianming Divine Court's Four Imperial Grandsons, the matter of liking Latanaya, the entire King's Court knows.

Now looking at it, such "lowering of identity" not only did not exchange for the beauty's love, but instead exchanged for a clown's mask.

"I say, kid..." Ji Bo narrows his eyes, sizing up Big Boss up and down: "You should be very clear, right, I am a Royal Clan person, are you sure you want to..."

"So what if Royal Clan."

Ji Bo's words not yet finished, the surrounding melon-eating crowd starts whispering.

"This is Big Boss, he is the 1st person since Full Moon Academy's founding, to get a perfect score in the entrance exam."

"Right, he is the one who fixed the World Tree Gate history's legend."

"Of course, Order Church, Furnace Church, so many big shots all scrambling to want him to become Bishop after graduation."

"Tsk tsk tsk, I remember this Four Imperial Grandsons, seems like doesn't have any outstanding political achievements, right."

"No way, no way, this Four Imperial Grandsons wouldn't be wanting to fight Big Boss for a woman, right?"

The Four Imperial Grandsons' identity although noble, but that also depends on compared to whom.

After all Tianming Divine Court has over a dozen Royal Grandsons, but Tianming Continent only has one, able to fix World Tree Gate history at Third Rank stage genius.

Hearing those whispers, Ji Bo's face expression becomes even more colorful, he hardens his scalp pats Big Boss's shoulder, finishes the half-sentence not finished just now: "Are you sure you don't want to come to my place sit a bit drink some tea?"

If it were an ordinary person, Ji Bo stepping on them would be that.

But Big Boss this student, is not an ordinary person, at this moment, whether in academy or continent, this young genius's prestige is quite high.

If Ji Bo publicly disputes with him, will only lose Tianming Divine Court's face, provoke current sovereign's displeasure.

He this time came to Full Moon Academy, is to find a reason, to bring Latanaya back.

No need to vie for momentary satisfaction.

Just still quite humiliating, wuwuwu...

Grown this big, never lost face in front of this many people.

"Then very good." Big Boss reveals sunny cheerful smile: "Afterwards I will find opportunity to visit."

Find opportunity to kill you.

In his heart he adds a sentence.

"Since so, then I'll respectfully await, Big Boss brother." Ji Bo also reveals smile: "Matter not delay, official duties entangled, I must go to crime scene."

Their plan already completed, today Latanaya certainly will be brought away by them.

Since so, also no need to pick any dispute with Big Boss.

Peacefully wait, appreciate him after losing lover, that pain-not-wanting-to-live ugly state is fine.

Thinking like this, he brings his surrounding guards, enters the dormitory to the side.

That is just now miserable scream came out place, from windowsill still not dissipated thick smoke can know, here just now occurred a fire.

Just don't know that unfortunate dead person, ultimately was burned to death in fire, or before fire occurred already perished.

"Big Boss, how did you come?"

Latanaya pokes head out from behind Big Boss.

"I just passing by, you, why here?"

"Me ah, I am today morning going to find Teacher Full Moon hand in previous homework, walked to here just happened to hear miserable scream rushed over, but didn't expect to be entangled by Ji Bo." Laniya exhales long breath.

Looking like this still thanks to Ji Bo, otherwise...

Just now really a bit troublesome.

Big Boss has already imagined Anna going crazy appearance.

"Wait." He suddenly thinks of a problem: "You mean miserable scream just now one sound, Ji Bo already appeared at door?"

"Mm." Lasaniya thinks says: "Correct, when I arrived, they already surrounded this place."

"Heh."

Big Boss narrows eyes, Tianming Divine Court's rest place not in school building.

Result case just occurred, he comes actually faster than school's magic guards.

Can't be, this Ji Bo has prophetic ability?

Looking like this this arson case behind, seems to be even more complex than he imagined.

"Let's go, Master Tata, we also go see."

Big Boss brings Miss Ratania, enters crime scene.
