Luo Xiaoyu returned home as though nothing had happened.
After handling the matters related to the Thin Man and the others, she ran straight toward her own little nest—
Only when she approached the urban area did the girl finally recover from that unfamiliar sensation.
On the street there were only a few scattered pedestrians.
On the streets that had not been maintained for a long time there were not only fallen leaves; within the somewhat disordered soil beneath the roadside trees, new greenery symbolizing life had also grown.
It looked a little messy, yet this atmosphere was precisely the one Luo Xiaoyu was familiar with.
Although there was no such street scenery within the memories of her previous life, under the long-term life that followed, this place had her important person and also everything she was well acquainted with.
Before encountering the crisis and obtaining the system, what she had always thought about was how she and her older sister could better continue living in this world.
Yet within the sudden perilous situation, the girl realized that protecting oneself first required strength.
She was still pondering how she ought to verify the fates of the Thin Man and the convenience store boy.
Even though she had already made thorough preparations, there were still far too many things Luo Xiaoyu did not know.
“Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu~”
The black-haired girl felt a weight settle on her back.
Turning her head, she met the bright smiling face of the golden-haired girl.
She tilted her head a little.
Only upon seeing this did the other party solemnly stand up, deliberately cough a few times, and then open her mouth to ask:
“Older Sister is going to the school today to collect the bonuses and report cards from the recent several examinations. Do you want to come with me and take a look?”
It was the matter she had asked about previously.
Should one say it was only to be expected of Older Sister? Even casual words could be remembered for so long and still kept in her heart.
The black-haired girl thought for a short moment.
Just as she finished organizing her wording and prepared to speak, Bai Mu stuffed something into her mouth.
A little soft…
She subconsciously chewed, and a clear sweetness of apple melted open along with the soft, glutinous texture.
Ah, it was cotton candy.
Seeming to see that Luo Xiaoyu had arrived at the answer, Bai Mu mysteriously took out a plastic bag from behind her.
The colors sprayed on the bag had faded somewhat, yet the characters remained clear.
It seemed she had guessed correctly.
“All right, stop thinking so much. Since you’re a little curious, then I’ll take you along.
Incidentally we can also buy some tasty things on the way.”
Bai Mu smiled.
She intended to take out a portion from her own bonus and divert it to buy food for her younger sister.
Because she herself currently did not lack anything in particular.
If this little bit of money could buy Xiaoyu’s smile, Bai Mu felt it was also very worthwhile.
Seeing that the black-haired girl seemed still to intend to eat something, Bai Mu once again took out cotton candy from the bag and used the soft, sweet flavor to block her mouth once more.
Luo Xiaoyu lost the bout and could only slightly turn her head aside, her little face red as she tasted this hard-won sweetness in small bites.
Since they had agreed to go out later, then attire and appearance naturally also needed to be carefully considered—
At least that was what Bai Mu said.
Thus Luo Xiaoyu returned to her own room.
Her room was roughly the same size as Bai Mu’s, yet the wardrobe was considerably larger than the other party’s.
Pulling open the somewhat sticky sliding door, Luo Xiaoyu faced a wardrobe full of dazzling clothes and felt troubled.
These were of course all bought for her by Bai Mu.
Luo Xiaoyu always had a feeling of being treated as a dress-up doll, yet whenever she thought of protesting or criticizing a little, she would always quickly lose under Bai Mu’s coquettish offensive.
Although as “retaliation,” the black-haired girl had also bought quite a few clothes for the other party.
The clothes of the two of them mostly belonged to styles that were very difficult to buy and very pretty in the current streets of Qiufeng City.
Being able to have the present life was largely thanks to Bai Mu.
The other party’s talent and insight always gave one a feeling of not being an ordinary person.
Yet since the other party had no intention of speaking clearly, Luo Xiaoyu would not dig deeply into these questions either.
As long as the two of them could live well, it was fine.
Tying the light, thin sash bound at her waist into a simple knot, the black-haired girl stepped lightly outside the door.
Bai Mu, who had been waiting early, cast an appraising examining gaze.
After a long while she finally swept away the serious expression, bent down to untie the sash that had just been tied, and then tied a playful double butterfly bow.
“Very pretty. Full marks!”
Bai Mu raised a big thumb.
Luo Xiaoyu let out a soft laugh and covered her face with one hand.
The two who had finished preparing walked toward the comprehensive school.
From a distance one could already tell the extraordinariness of this school—
In the present day when the average person of Qiufeng City was still striving for food and clothing, this building was actually able to occupy such a large area and still possessed nearly brand-new decoration and paint.
During the break between classes, the sunny laughter of the children inside, or the sounds of running and chasing, were completely opposite to the quiet outside world that was filled with a deathly air.
Bai Mu presented her documents at the entrance, briefly explained the reason and situation, and then smoothly brought Luo Xiaoyu inside.
“Is there any place Xiaoyu wants to go? I can also take you to look at the cafeteria and the library.
The things here are all very new. You can experience them first.”
The golden-haired girl observed her younger sister’s situation from the side.
Unexpectedly, Xiaoyu who had never come here before seemed to have no intention of being moved at all.
As expected her younger sister was very sensible, yet even toward this place she seemed to have no interest?
Bai Mu could only understand this reaction as a matter of personality.
Yet what Luo Xiaoyu was thinking about at this moment was not school matters.
Regarding the fact that she herself was a transmigrator, she had also never told Bai Mu.
In reality the bustling scenes the girl had seen were still considerably more shocking when compared to a school like this.
Even though the comprehensive school and the nearby area were already among the busiest places in Qiufeng City, it was still so.
What she cared more about was the matter of that convenience store boy.
Therefore Luo Xiaoyu once again directly asked.
“Oh, him. He’s in the lower grades. The classroom isn’t on this floor.”
Perhaps in order to show consideration for the children of the lower grades, the higher the position of the classroom, the higher the age group of the students.
While speaking, Bai Mu had already brought the other party to the highest floor of the school and walked into the office at the very side.
Watching her older sister enter the office to collect the certificates and bonuses, Luo Xiaoyu had nothing to do and thus overlooked this school from a high place.
Yet it seemed this school was also divided into two areas?
Compared to the innocent liveliness on this side, the other side appeared much quieter, and from time to time came noisy sounds resembling fighting.
While thinking, the familiar system prompt sound rang out in her mind.
[Contact with Exiled One +1]
[They are existences rejected by the other side of humanity’s contact with the extraordinary. They originate from a world of unknown location.]
[The system has recorded the “Exiled One” into the archives. Host may freely read the currently analyzed portions.]
[Obtained “Exile Points.” Current allocatable Exile Points total 4]
The system’s prompt sound could also be regarded as a kind of warning.
If one were to speak of what “Exiled Ones” Luo Xiaoyu had previously seen, there was only the Thin Man who had failed the ritual and ultimately alienated into a monster.
In other words, was there also someone producing a similar situation inside this school right now?
Chaos and commotion quickly erupted at the entrance.
The black-haired girl turned her gaze and in a hurried glance met eyes with the figure at the school entrance.
Yet after she clearly saw the other party’s appearance, she could not help slightly furrowing her brows.
It was that convenience store boy? He survived? And even became a form the same as the Thin Man…
His body was swollen as though filled with water, and clusters of pulsing tissue also grew densely on his limbs, rhythmically throbbing beneath the skin.
Quite terrifying.
[Contact with Transcendent +2]
[Remaining Allocatable Points: 8]
Two people ran out from the security post at the entrance of the comprehensive school.
They attracted the convenience store boy into a building deep inside the school, and after a short while there was no further movement.
Luo Xiaoyu still wanted to look at the situation a little more, yet Bai Mu blocked in front of her.
“Xiaoyu, are you all right?”
The golden-haired girl looked around a few times, quickly found the cause of the disturbance, and tightly fixed her gaze on that building.
“I… I’m fine…”
Yet it seemed the answer was still not enough.
Bai Mu crouched down and looked over Luo Xiaoyu here and there.
Only after confirming there was truly no problem did she no longer continue to fuss.
The golden-haired girl herself also realized she had been a little out of character.
After confirming that the situation at the scene had already been brought under control, she once again recovered her previous cheerful appearance.
“There’s no need to mind what happened today. Shall I take you to eat ice cream?”
Bai Mu shook the banknotes in her hand, yet Luo Xiaoyu still cared more about her certificate.
“Mm-hmm. But first place again… Older Sister is so amazing.”
The golden-haired girl was stunned for a moment.
She then hugged Luo Xiaoyu and pulled her outward.
