Bai Feifei...
If one could see the expression on Bai Feifei's face inside her mind right now, she would definitely have a completely blank, speechless expression.
Ever since Xu Mo snatched control of her body and went on a killing spree, she had been somewhat speechless.
As expected of an Old-Timer; the gap between him and myself is still so glaringly obvious.
Even though her own combat capability had grown exponentially like a rocket during this period, it was still far too inferior compared to having an Evil God boost her.
No wonder he was so dissatisfied when he saw her getting heavily injured while fighting that stone aberration earlier. When it came to slaughter, one really had to leave it to the Evil God. Could he be an Evil God in charge of slaughter?
However, for some reason, after the Old-Timer finished his slaughter, he started laughing sinisterly and inexplicably clutched her chest, saying things had gotten interesting.
What exactly is so interesting...
“Can you put 'my' hand down now?” Bai Feifei said in her mind.
“And what do you mean by 'interesting'?”
“I was just feeling the heartbeat. You're way too serious,” Xu Mo replied, highly dissatisfied.
This voice in his mind was truly annoying, always telling him what to do with his body...
Xu Mo withdrew his gaze from the distance.
“There might be something truly good in this place,” Xu Mo said, his voice carrying a hint of irrepressible excitement.
“Your luck is seriously amazing!”
Could she really be a daughter of fortune? My previous saves feel like a total joke in comparison!
Bai Feifei's heart trembled.
Something that this Evil God considered "interesting"...
The last time he had said something like that was back in that underground coal mine...
Just then, the rhythm of the Heart of the World suddenly changed!
Each distinct heartbeat felt as though it was communicating with Xu Mo.
To an Old-Timer, this was naturally a form of provocation.
Xu Mo's brows instantly furrowed. Naturally, an Old-Timer could not tolerate this!
“Oh? Can't wait, can you? No problem!”
As soon as the words left his mouth, he shot forward like a cannonball, charging straight toward the source of the heartbeat.
Behind him, the people from Yaoguang Academy stared blankly as he suddenly moved, completely clueless as to what she was trying to do.
Feng Guozhi had just finished counting the survivors. When he looked up, he saw that blood-soaked figure suddenly begin to sprint.
“Teacher Bai?!” he called out subconsciously.
No one answered. The figure was already as fast as lightning, disappearing into the crimson gale within a few breaths.
Feng Guozhi stood frozen in a daze, a bad premonition rising in his heart.
No, something was wrong.
He whipped his head around.
The aberrant corpses that Bai Feifei had just slaughtered—as long as they hadn't been completely pulverized into dust—all began to sway and move.
A severed hand bounced out of the pool of blood, its five fingers propping itself up on the ground as it crawled forward like a spider.
A head with only half a face rolled half a turn on the ground before its remaining eye suddenly snapped open, staring intently at the students of Yaoguang Academy.
This was the riot effect of what Xu Mo called the Undead!
“Fuck!” Feng Guozhi's blade instantly unsheathed, slicing down the nearest aberrant corpse.
But a few seconds after the creature fell, it swayed and stood back up, completely unhindered as it continued to trudge forward.
“No, we need to retreat now!” Feng Guozhi bellowed, but his voice suddenly caught in his throat.
A crimson gale was currently sweeping across this red soil. With the magnetic field completely haywire, they couldn't even tell their directions. Where could they run?
He suddenly recalled the direction Bai Feifei had run.
That woman... did she know something?
“Everyone!” Feng Guozhi turned and roared at the students. “Follow Teacher Bai's direction! Move!”
This time, no one hesitated or questioned Bai Feifei. One by one, they bolted forward frantically.
In this chaotic and incomprehensible moment, Bai Feifei's actions possessed an overwhelming sense of credibility.
Meanwhile, further away, similar events were occurring simultaneously.
Students from almost every academy were being chased, running for their lives.
Wan Qianhong had long realized something was amiss. Ignoring the Graduation Show altogether, she showed herself to help, gathering the scattered Qingping Academy students as much as possible and leading them away from the aberrations.
The caliber of Qingping Academy's students was much higher than the other schools. They were still able to maintain considerable combat capability, even retreating while fighting.
But if someone were to look down from a high vantage point—if there truly were a so-called God's eye view—they would notice a very bizarre phenomenon.
These aberrations weren't completely wiping them out.
Instead of surrounding them from all sides, they blocked three sides and left one open, always leaving a single direction for people to escape.
This behavior resembled herding, like driving a flock of sheep.
And all of these escape routes pointed toward the exact same location.
The very direction that made Xu Mo's heart throb incessantly.
...
Xu Mo sprinted toward the direction of the heartbeat for a long time. Because he was eager to find out what was summoning him, he didn't waste any time farming minor monsters.
In fact, no minor monsters came to bother him either; every single one of them was actively avoiding him.
Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks and looked around.
The wind was gone.
He glanced back. Just a few steps away, the crimson gale was still howling like the end of the world.
Yet, some invisible force kept the wind from entering this area, stopping it completely at the boundary without letting even a single gust slip through.
Had he run out of it?
Of course not. He had arrived at the absolute core area.
Xu Mo looked around, and his incessantly throbbing heartbeat gradually settled down.
“Hehe...”
“Theoretically speaking, shouldn't a super pretentious villain walk out right about now, look at me, and say, ‘I've been waiting for you for a long time’?”
“Is that not how the game's storyline is designed?”
Bai Feifei: ...
In her mind, she asked in confusion:
“What are you talking about...”
Just then, Xu Mo suddenly raised a hand to signal her to shut up, then turned around.
A red light flared from within the howling gale outside.
A moment later, a trail of fire cut through the wind, and a figure crashed through the wall of wind, entering this area.
Aries, Hong Jiu.
Before he even landed, his pleasantly surprised voice rang out.
“Yo! Little brother, you're here too!”
“You're pretty fast. What, did your people also set their sights on this place?”
Before Xu Mo could speak, another figure appeared behind Hong Jiu.
The sand and stones on the ground silently coalesced into a human shape, and layers of earthy-yellow armor wrapped around his body.
Capricorn, Xiao Xinghan.
After standing firm, he said nothing, merely staring silently at Xu Mo—or rather, at Bai Feifei's body.
A few seconds later, he spoke: “Are you Bai Feifei?”
Xu Mo looked at him. Memories of countless playthroughs flooded his mind, and he instantly recognized who this person was.
Then, seeing the way the other party was staring into his eyes, he immediately understood what the man was doing, and grinned.
Seeing her bizarre smile, Xiao Xinghan was about to say something more.
Suddenly, Xu Mo moved.
Without giving the other party another chance to speak, the bracer on his wrist morphed and reconfigured, and he slashed directly at him.
Shring!
The blade sliced through the air, creating a sharp, whistling sound.
“What the fuck are you looking at!”
