After a brief moment of internal reflection, Bai Yuze began to search Gao Tianxiong's body for the strange artifacts.
Of course, Bai Yuze wouldn't do it himself; who knew if Gao Tianxiong had any trigger-activated strange artifacts on him? So, Bai Yuze manipulated Yamauchi Haruki to search Gao Tianxiong's body.
He obtained the following items: a mobile phone, a pair of strange-looking walnuts, a string of Buddhist prayer beads, and a fountain pen.
Upon touching them, Bai Yuze understood their functions.
[Strange Walnuts]
[When the two walnuts collide, they mark all living beings within a twelve-meter radius, centered on the user, allowing their actions to be paused at any time.]
[Note: The longer the mark lasts, the greater the side effects produced by the strange artifact; the senses will gradually decline until they disappear.]
[Cooldown: 24 hours]
[Compassionate Buddhist Beads]
[Possesses the ability to see through rules, limited to three uses.]
[Note: Each use will increase the user's sense of fatigue and is prone to causing mental damage.]
[Cooldown: Eight hours, can be stored, maximum of three.]
[Regretless Brushstroke]
[Arbitrarily add a stroke to a rule, which can influence the change of the rule.]
[Death Warning!!!]
[One-time strange artifact]
"No wonder Gao Tianxiong always looked like he hadn't slept well; it turns out it was caused by the side effects of the strange artifacts!"
Bai Yuze smiled. When he spent time with Gao Tian during the night shift, Bai Yuze felt that Gao Tian seemed a bit... weak. It turned out he was just a poor wretch who relied on strange artifacts to barely hold on until now...
Why was the class disbanded? Because half of the people in the class were revived by the strange. So why were they revived by the strange? Because they were weak!
Bai Yuze should have thought of it earlier. Since the class was disbanded, how strong could the people who miraculously survived that class be?
"How pathetic, Senior Gao Tian. It seems I actually helped you find release!"
Bai Yuze was just that kind-hearted. Seeing Gao Tianxiong, who was tormented by the strange instances, he took pity and directly helped Gao Tianxiong find release!
However, he didn't help for nothing. Taking a little interest wasn't too much, right?
Bai Yuze knew Gao Tianxiong's lock screen password. He opened Gao Tianxiong's points balance to check.
Points: 700,000
"Not bad, not bad. Still a bit of a haul."
Bai Yuze nodded with satisfaction. As for the document Gao Tianxiong sent him... Bai Yuze didn't dare to click it. Who knew if his points would disappear after clicking it?
Bai Yuze went to other supermarkets, bought some food, and then returned to the dormitory.
"I'm back!"
As soon as Bai Yuze entered the room, he smelled a fragrant aroma.
"You're back? Perfect, the porridge I'm making is almost done!"
Kushida Kikyo walked out of the kitchen with a joyful expression, and upon seeing Bai Yuze, she extended her hands.
Seeing this, Bai Yuze handed over the things in his hands to her, and after Kushida Kikyo put the items down, she repeated the gesture.
Bai Yuze was a little puzzled, but when he saw Kushida Kikyo's expression, he instantly understood!
Bai Yuze also spread his arms, and just as Kushida Kikyo was waiting for Bai Yuze's hug with a joyful expression...
"Oh yeah!"
Bai Yuze and Kushida Kikyo exchanged a perfect high-five!
Kushida Kikyo: ...
"You! I... Mmm..."
Kushida Kikyo was about to speak but was silenced by Bai Yuze's sudden hug. Bai Yuze held Kushida Kikyo without speaking. At this moment, he didn't want to say anything. Tell her that he almost died?
There was no need. At this moment, he only wanted to use this warm embrace to soothe his somewhat weary soul.
Dealing with the strange was exhausting, but dealing with human hearts was even more so. Bai Yuze was very happy that he could meet his other half, even though the process wasn't what Bai Yuze had once imagined.
Bai Yuze knew that in this cold world, there was a door, and it would always be open for him...
Kushida Kikyo sensed Bai Yuze's loneliness. Her hand also caressed Bai Yuze's back, gently comforting him.
"Welcome back, Yuze."
The two briefly separated. Bai Yuze subconsciously touched his nose, while Kushida Kikyo pulled Bai Yuze's hand and walked to the bed.
She patted the bed, and her curious expression made Bai Yuze laugh.
"You can laugh later. Tell me what happened last night?"
Kushida Kikyo sat on the edge of the bed, holding a cup of tea, just missing a plate of melon seeds.
Bai Yuze couldn't refuse. He sat on the bed, recalling and narrating as he spoke.
"Let me think. This all started when I first went to the store..."
— — — — — —
"Good! Well done! That kind of scum deserves to go to hell!"
After listening to Bai Yuze's narration, Kushida Kikyo couldn't help but clap her hands in praise.
But after praising, she also became a little worried.
"Yuze, you killed someone; you won't be in trouble, will you..."
Seeing this, Bai Yuze stroked her head. As for whether he was in trouble? Are you kidding me! If you have a problem, go tell the strange!
"How could I be in trouble? Besides, I didn't kill him, and the murder weapon isn't on me."
Bai Yuze didn't do anything at all. He didn't kill the person, and he never touched the murder weapon from beginning to end. He just inexplicably picked up three strange artifacts, and coincidentally picked up a phone and accidentally guessed the password!
"That's good then."
Hearing that Bai Yuze was fine, Kushida Kikyo breathed a sigh of relief. Then she asked curiously.
"You said you have a control-type strange artifact? What does it look like?"
Bai Yuze handed the Necklace to Kushida Kikyo, and Kushida Kikyo suddenly put the Necklace over Bai Yuze's head. Although Bai Yuze was puzzled, he still pretended to be affected and lay on the bed.
"Haha! I've got you controlled, haven't I? That's for bullying me! That's for deliberately annoying me!"
Kushida Kikyo thought Bai Yuze was controlled, so she triumphantly lightly stepped on Bai Yuze's chest with her foot, looking all smug and swaggering.
Bai Yuze hadn't explained the function of the Necklace to Kushida Kikyo in detail, and Kushida Kikyo had put it directly over Bai Yuze's head as soon as she got her hands on it, so Kushida Kikyo had no idea how to use the Necklace!
When Kushida Kikyo found her foot being held by a pair of hands, she lowered her head a little fearfully.
And as their eyes met, one pair filled with fear, the other with playfulness~
"Um... I said I was controlled by the strange just now... Do you believe me?"
Kushida Kikyo's voice trembled a little, and even her legs began to go soft.
And Bai Yuze said with a grin.
"I believe you... Of course I believe you! But I also know a little about exorcism techniques!"
Bai Yuze smirked, and then Kushida Kikyo was pulled onto the bed...
It wasn't until the smell of burning from the kitchen stopped the two of them.
"Phew... You... What kind of... exorcism technique... was that..."
Kushida Kikyo was incredibly grateful that she had made a pot of porridge, otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to get out of bed today.
Kushida Kikyo: She was well-behaved, but still dared!
