Nandou Seiki no University Life

63. Underwater Sinking Coffin

Recently, the demon star student who has been possessed by the god of decline must have something wrong again.The other people who wanted to secretly investigate his situation didn't find him where he was, but found two places.

How could there be two places? !Everyone didn't understand, and Qi Xia who helped find someone didn't understand either. "One of the breaths is still in the place I found yesterday, in the southwest direction, far away, and a little weak. The other one I just discovered this morning is in this city, and it is weaker than the last one. The demon star is already quite familiar and has established a spiritual connection, so I might not even notice it." Wucai Phoenix explained, "But why there are two, I don't know."

"You really saw Yoda when you teleported to Longwang Mountain yesterday?" Xiu Wu rushed to Shaosa, Sean and Rey frowned.Yesterday, these three people went directly to visit Yoda secretly without asking his opinion at all. He always thought that they would at least inform him before they acted. He did not expect these guys to be so impatient. They—Rey answered the phone first, and I'm afraid they will still be kept in the dark, and continue to enjoy the time with their families in peace.

"To be precise, we saw in the distance a man wearing a woolen hat, with sunglasses on his face, who seemed to have a profile similar to his, walking slowly in the yard." Rey replied, with a worried tone in his tone mean.Shaosa, who was standing beside him, remained silent for a moment.If he didn't always feel that he owed Yoda, some newly formed "conspiracy duo" would have thrown him off, just like they invited Shusha to prepare for the worst possible situation and put Xiu Wu persuades him to go home and reunite with his wife and children.

"Just 'like' similar?" Xiu Wu felt bad.

"We didn't want to be discovered, so we didn't get very close. Qixia said that she was sure that there was Yoda's breath in that place, so we also believed that person was Yoda at the time." Sean added.Yesterday was the first time he proposed to visit. When he had a 10-minute dispute with his father on the phone, he comforted his crying mother for another 10 minutes.He had to admit that the lie about Celine going to work in the backcountry was dying, and he couldn't wait much longer.

"It's really indisputable." Xiu Wu turned to ask Qi Xia, "May I ask if you can find out where the second breath is in this city?

"Hmm..." Colorful Phoenix looked into the distance, as if looking for something. After a while, she said hesitantly, "It feels very close to here, but I can't tell where it is, what does it look like?" The magic item was interfering with my search. I did find more information after my in-between searches, though. It's just... he seemed to be surrounded by liquid."

Surrounded by liquid?Could it be that there is a body of water around the current location?For example, on an island/on a boat in rivers, lakes and seas?They all speculated, but she kept shaking her head, "That's not what it means, it's that his whole body is directly in the liquid."

"Isn't that soaked in water? How can people survive under such conditions for a long time?" Shaosa found this a bit unbelievable. "Could it be that they are using special items that allow people to survive in water?" He thought of Rey's experience when he went to look for the white unicorn last time, but since his breath was weak, it meant that his body hadn't recovered, so why did he run into the water? "Diving would be a good possibility, anything else would be worse." Are you sure you're not wrong? "

"Hmph!" Qi Xia glanced at him displeased, annoyed that he questioned her ability, "Both are indeed his aura!"

"The thing I used last time can only last for three hours, but it is an imitation item made by Amoeba himself. It is said that if it is the real product made by Dongdouhan Sword School, it can stay underwater for a longer time.

"Dong Dou Han Sword." Shaosa repeated these headache-inducing four words as if he was facing an enemy. Still using his brother's body, it is not impossible to attack the injured opponent.

"But, if something happened to Yoda at the hands of Dongdou's people, why didn't Olivia say a word?"

"Maybe she doesn't even know what happened." Sean guessed, "The two of them have officially broken up, and Olivia didn't go to Mount Langwang with Yoda. Although she still lives with Yoda temporarily, it's more like A temporary roommate who helps watch the house and takes care of Qixia. Another possibility is that she is coerced and cannot speak."

"Maybe." Having said that, Xiu Wu, who frowned, had another strong doubt in his heart.Olivia continued to stay in this city, perhaps for other reasons.After traveling to another world with Rey, Yoda began to undergo various changes. He lost his once dazzling fiery red hair, had no energy to think about makeup and other things he once cared about, and his physique no longer As strong as before, his voice became a little weak and hoarse, and most importantly, the absolute confidence that once shone in those green eyes has since faded.What changed along with these things was the way Olivia looked at him... (Note: bloody again~) Regardless of whether they have broken up or not, her intuition tells Xiu Wu that under the current circumstances, it is impossible for her Leaving Yoda's.

"I can go to a close distance to make sure that the man in Langwang Mountain is really him." Rey said proactively.

"Don't act until you find the specific source of the second breath. If there is something strange, your actions may let the other party know that we have discovered the problem, which will be detrimental to the real Yoda." Shaosa resolutely stopped he.

"If you have a little more time, will you know more about this second breath?" Sean asked Qi Xia, who was looking out of the window intently, and found that her eyes were wide open as if she was about to cry up.It seemed that he was really working hard, which moved him a little.

"should be."

"Thank you, always ask for your help, if you are too tired, take a rest."

"It's okay, it's okay." Hearing what he said, Qi Xia stared even more vigorously.

"Would it be easier to find something if there was something he used often? Just like when you were looking for Celine last time, you used a women's coat." Shaosa suddenly suggested.This performance made Xiu Wu look at him with relief, and felt that his abilities seemed to have improved in the current various crises.

"Well, yes!" Qi Xia gave him a rare smile of joy.

But how could there be something Yoda used here?When everyone else thought that the colorful phoenix might just go back and pick it up, Shaosa went back to his room and searched for a while, and appeared with what looked like a cosmetic product.

"Why do you have his cosmetics?!" Sean felt that this matter was very strange.

"He left it in my room at the party at the beginning of school, the night before we switched bodies..." Shaosa briefly recounted how he was drunk and sleepy. She was "betrayed" by a demon star, and put on heavy make-up in a gloomy and dark style for Shu Sha to take pictures as a souvenir.Later, Shusha slipped away, and Yoda passed out drunk, so the object somehow rolled into a corner of his room, and was found by him who was in Xiuwu's body a few days later.Of course, he had thought about returning the property to the original owner several times, but his Shaosa brain was not used to remember when to return the cosmetics, so he always forgot about it, and Yoda in his body at that time But after a small search in my own home, I habitually took refuge in the concept of "if the old one doesn't go, the new one won't come".

"This thing looks like the pencils you humans use." Taking over the cosmetics, Qixia recalled Yulia who had drawn a pencil sketch for Sean.The first half of the night was actually pretty good, she always thought so. "It should be useful, although I don't know what it is."

Is this supposed to be an eyebrow pencil?Maybe it's eyeliner?The four men without makeup didn't know exactly what this was.But fortunately, this is not an important issue right now. Where is the owner of this item is the key.

After half an hour...

Standing beside the pond on the campus of Dongdou University with Qixia whose expression became more and more determined, everyone basically guessed the source of the second breath. "It's in this pond!" Her excited shout confirmed their guess. "And now I can finally be completely sure that this aura is the real demon star! He is indeed in this pond, probably at the center."

"Is that the center you're talking about?" Rey, already anxious, raised his finger and pointed to what he thought was the "center" of the pond.It seemed that Yoda was really in the water, for such a long time, in such a cold day, and as a weak and wounded person, could he still... not escape the fate of death.

"No, it's probably there." But Qixia pointed out a different "center" to him, "There is the deepest place, so it is the 'center'."

"Okay!" Now is not the time to discuss how to define the "center" of the pond, so he quickly took off his coat and ran towards the pond without saying anything.

"Wait a minute! Just let me go with him alone." Sean raised his hand to block Shaosa and Xiuwu who were about to take off their coats and head towards the pond. "Kenjiro and Jaki taught me some breathing techniques in Beidou Shenquan that can improve the ability to hold the breath." If it weren't for this extra skill, he would have died in the mud that buried him alive the night Celine was taken away. down. "With you guys on shore, we can also focus more on things underwater."

"It makes sense." Shaosa and Xiuwu agreed with his opinion. "Be careful." "Don't be too aggressive."

"I...I don't like so much cold water, so I..." Qi Xia lowered her head with a look of embarrassment.

"It doesn't matter, you can also guide us on the shore."

What are these people doing in the pond?A burst of female cries of "Go a little to the right, go a little further!! Now go a little to the left! Alright! It's almost the bottom of the water at that position!" Gradually attracted the passing students.Soon, many students, employees and passers-by who went to the campus that day found a bustle that they could take a look at.How could someone actually go swimming and diving in the school pond on this not extremely cold day, but also very unwarmed? !

"What are you doing?" The campus security administrators who heard the news squeezed through the crowd and appeared in front of the two people and the beast who stayed on the shore. "Didn't you see the sign over there? Swimming and playing in the pond is prohibited! Violators will be fined one to three weeks of campus labor. Why are you people so unqualified!"

"I'm sorry, we didn't intend to violate the school rules. It's just that some of our friends accidentally dropped an important item into the water when we were playing by the pond two days ago." Before Sa and Qixia got angry, they negotiated with each other.

"Hmph! How could things fall so far from the shore? Don't try to lie to me. I didn't expect you to look so mature, but you made up such a non-standard lie, telling elementary school students that their homework was taken away by the teacher at home. It's just as ridiculous that a pet dog eats it."

"Shaosa, please pass me the stone over there, thank you." Seeing that the administrator still didn't buy it, Ren Xing called out to his fierce companion, and then threw the stone that was thrown at him at Bi Lei The location where Yi and Sean "swim and play" is further away. "That's how it fell that far."

"This...!! (Sweat!)" The administrator stared dumbfounded at the ripples caused by the stones, with cold sweat on his forehead, and decided to compromise, "Okay...okay! But...but, hurry up!"

While the negotiations on the shore were in progress, the two people underwater also found something extremely suspicious in the deepest part of the pond—a silver box that sank to the bottom.

Will it be this?Raising his hand to touch the very coffin-like thing in front of him, Rey felt that its feel was as smooth and cold as it looked on the surface, and some of the mysterious symbols engraved on it, he remembered that he had once been in Dongdouhan Sword I saw it at the headquarters of...No matter whether it is or not, we can only get it up and have a look.After a quick gesture and nod to Sean, he agreed with his companion.However, when they worked together to lift the box, they found that this mysterious object was not as simple as it seemed on the surface-it was just left on the bottom of the water.

What are these things? !Looking at the bottom of the box together, the two were horrified to find that there was actually some kind of off-white object shaped like a tree root growing under the silver box.These tangles held the box in the soil at the bottom of the pool like a plant.

What should I do now?Just open the lid to see?Uprooted directly?Or cut off the root and take the box away?After tentatively cutting several smaller openings on these "roots", and finding a small amount of blood-like liquid flowing out of them, both of them felt that it might not be a good idea to violently separate the box from the "roots".

Back to the surface to discuss?The two were about to go upstream, but the silver box lying on the bottom of the water suddenly made a strange "creaking" sound, as if someone was walking on an old wooden floor.In addition, looking carefully at the bottom of the box, they found that those "tree roots" moved on their own, gradually separated from the box that was originally tightly connected, and then quickly withered and sank to the bottom.

It's amazing!The scene in front of him made Rey wonder, could it be that the meaning of "monster star" in this (fan) world refers to the star who always encounters monster events?

"Is something floating up?" "It's the two people who were diving." "They seem to have dragged something?" "It's a rectangular box!" "That's it! I'm sure I'm right!" After a burst of exclamation and Qixia's joyful shout, Shaosa, who had been waiting impatiently, jumped into the pool, and went to meet Rey and Sean who were dragging a strange silver box towards the shore.

"Can such a big box be thrown that far?" the administrator doubted again.

"The result of collective strength." After prevaricating casually, Xiu Wu also walked towards the pond, waiting to join the other three.

"What... will there be inside?!" "Looks like a coffin, can't it be a dead body?!"

"Nonsense! It's not a dead person! Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand! Stupid human beings!" The comments of the passers-by finally angered Qi Xia this time. If there is a dead person in the box, it means that she is paying the price. After so much effort, the result is still failure!

The protagonist group of four with extraordinary strength quickly dragged this eye-catching box ashore, and the locks installed around the lid were not too complicated, so it didn't take long for this silver coffin-like container The content in the book is exposed to everyone's eyes...

"Yoda?!" Rey was the first to let out a subconscious exclamation, and the others could only find a way to express their shock by standing still in place for the time being.

Inside the box was an object with a dark gray color, bark-like texture, and the shape of a person lying on its side, and a tree trunk connected to the box wall grew in the middle of the chest and abdomen.If the silver coffin resembles a strange plant, the object is like a fruit growing in a box.This...how could it be a person?They couldn't believe it.But the outline of what should be considered the "face" of this thing really resembles the face of a demon star!

Really nothing wrong?This time, all four of them gave Qi Xia the same look.

Looking back at them for a moment, the colorful phoenix came to the side of the box and squatted down, putting his hand on the "forehead" of the object.The originally noisy crowd around her also closed her eyes, as if she was beginning to detect something, they quieted down, nervously waiting for more wonders, or excitement...

"Yoda the demon star! You've slept long enough! Get up soon!" Suddenly opening his eyes again, the divine beast began to smack the hard cheek of this humanoid object.

Can this work?Hearing the sound of being knocked on a hard object, everyone became more confused, only Qixia became more and more confident, and directly threatened and shook Dafa vigorously, "If you don't get up again, I will roast you alive It's gone! That's a terrible death! So hurry up!"

"Crack!!" As if responding to her call, there was a strange sound from the box, and Rey and his companions also noticed a crack on the outer arm of the humanoid object.

"He finally woke up!" Qi Xia shouted joyfully, and with her voice came more "click" sounds and clearly visible cracks.

"Look...look! Below...something is about to come out!" "Ahh! It can't be a monster!"

"There are real people inside!!" When an obviously human arm stretched out from under the hard shell, and tremblingly stretched out towards his wooden face that resembled Yoda, as if trying to tear off the mask, Rey Be the first to respond and start peeling the hand together.After the others caught up again, cutting the tree trunk and splitting the hard shells in other places, a creature that looked exactly like a living person and looked the same as classmate Yoda, the demon star, was taken out of the box in a short time. pulled out.

"Ahhhh~~~~~~~It's so... so cold!! What...what happened...what happened?" He fell down in the grass by the pond, his complexion was a little pale, and he couldn't help shivering." Suspected demon star" propped up his body with human hands, looked around him in confusion and nervously, "Here...what is...place here?"

"This is the West Campus of Dongdou University, are you really Yoda?" Xiu Wu, who was busy putting various types of coats on this person, answered first, and asked an extra question just to be on the safe side.

"Ray... Rey... are you... all right? You are still... so..." But the "suspected demon star" who was shaking like a sieve first stared at Yixing on his left for four consecutive times Seconds later, he answered his question, "When...of course it's me... UDSAMA~~! You...you...couldn't recognize me, could it be that I...?" Looking at his body, he raised his hand to caress his cheek at the same time, "My... my injuries... all...disappeared?"

It is true that Yoda was seriously injured by Dongdou Lingchi sword, and even his face, which he always cared about the most, was cut, but now there are no scars on his whole body.

"Your hair has grown too, Yoda, it's longer than Shaosa's now." Rey noticed a welcome change.

"I'm KAO! I...compare him...to having longer hair than him! Okay...don't learn!" It's a pity that this person doesn't appreciate it, at least on the surface.

"He really is Yoda." Sean also fully believed this now.

"Is it really that Yoda who is studying graphic design in the second grade?" "Is that the man who claims to be the most beautiful and strong, who often wears makeup?" It’s great, it’s not beautiful enough!” “Maybe you’re taking a sickly dark route?” “But the skin is really good.” “Although the hair is short, the quality of the hair seems to be very good.” Due to the decrease in tension, the crowd watched The crowd started discussing again, hearing that the expression on Yoda's face was cloudy and sunny for a while, and his mood was also low and good for a while, and finally he almost became dumbfounded.The scars on his body have disappeared, but the whole person is still so emaciated, shaking like a fool, and he was still in this situation just now, right?

"Hey! You people! What is there to talk about!! Don't you have anything else to do all day long?! Do whatever you want!" Finally, the unbearable Shaosa roared at the people around him.

This guy seems to be easy to mess with, as if he can take people apart with his bare hands (he can...), and the excitement is almost over.Due to the sense of oppression caused by Ji Xing, everyone decided to disperse, but Qi Xia pointed out that Ling Yi could watch for a while. "Someone's calling for that box! It's about to run away!"

What? !How could he escape? !Shaosa rushed towards the box as fast as she could, trying her best to prevent it from escaping, but unfortunately, this superb piece of equipment disappeared into the air after bursting out with a burst of intense light.hateful!With a little more time to learn the secrets of the man's portrait, he might be able to track down anything teleported away.He thought angrily, this kind of emotion undoubtedly heightened the murderous aura emanating from him, making the surrounding crowd decide that it is better to keep a low profile.

"You found me...in that thing?" Yoda asked thoughtfully, standing up tremblingly with Rey's support.What the hell did Olivia do?His last memory before he passed out was finding out that she had drugged the water he was drinking.

"I believe we all have a lot of information to exchange, but no matter what, let's talk after leaving here." Xiu Wu suggested.

"Please make way." Turning around, he said coldly to the people around him in a moderate voice, and Shaosa began to open the way with the murderous aura lingering around him.

Are these people normal?Watching the backs of the protagonist team and a group of people leaving, the administrator himself felt that, judging from what happened just now, the behavior of these people may not be classified as ordinary swimming and playing...

Holding the mobile phone and huddling in the sofa chair, Olivia listened to the news from it in frustration.

"I'm sorry, I underestimated the colorful phoenix's ability before, and I didn't expect that the pretender would not deceive her in the end." Cha Moxun of Dongdou Ghost Flood Sword sincerely apologized to her on the phone.

"No need to apologize, it's none of your business." She replied feebly.

"But after all, I still want to help you, an old friend. But even though your original plan didn't work out, he might not necessarily go with them to find Elder Dongfang (Dongfang Wenyu). Judging from my conversation with them, They don't plan to let him go with them this time, and even if they soon know that the person is not really him, they probably won't change this decision."

"But the real variable is actually himself."

"According to the information I have obtained, that righteous star has a very good relationship with a female general from Yacha Island."

"..., I'm not even sure if it works now, his thinking is sometimes different from ordinary people, and there may be some other factors at work."

"I will not take the initiative to make him an enemy, but if we still cannot avoid becoming enemies in the end, and I win the favor of fate and win, I will try my best to give him a quick and less painful death."

Sometimes there is only a thin, fragile line between friend and foe.Olivia sighed, she felt like crying. "……,Thanks."

"Treasure yourself."

"I will. If that top-quality equipment is really as high-quality as you said, the shadow I'm after may disappear from my sight completely soon..."

"Then live a good life for yourself, isn't this the creed (made up by the author) of your Nandou Red Crane Fist?"

"Hopefully I can implement it well."

"come on."

"Thank you, you appreciate it too."

"Well, I will too."
