Magic High School.

When they looked again, they found that the fairy was also staring straight at them. Her gaze showed no evasion or hesitation, but was fixed on Li Ge and the others, as if she were sizing them up, or as if she were saying:

I'm right here. Want to get rid of me? If you do, come on over. I'll always be waiting for you.

Then, after realizing that Li Ge and the others didn't seem to be making a move so easily, she felt a little bored, glanced down at the others around her, and strode away.

"What is she doing? So arrogant..." Valerie grumbled, increasingly disliking this vixen. She should have rushed to the island in the middle of the lake and blasted her with her pony when they were matched with her.

"No, she's actually quite clever. She's provoking us, trying to make us make the first move, and then using that opportunity to see what the consequences of fighting will be," Li Ge said directly.

"Oh, she meant that too?" Valerie was stunned.

“Most likely,” Yi Lian said. “She’s not as brainless as we think. She’s gradually testing the rules here, and because of us, she’s even trying to create a situation where she happens to be there when we break the rules. There’s a reason why she can get high scores even as a lone wolf.”

The group fell silent. But soon, they stopped caring about Daphne. They figured they'd deal with whatever came their way; they were all eleven years old now, and in a one-on-one fight, it was uncertain who would survive.

Even if Li Ge and her group have more people, they can use their numerical advantage to find someone to fight her head-on.

Soon, the group left the cathedral. They were to begin studying the doctrines and, in the meantime, complete their exploration of the world.

……

Soon, evening arrived.

The group began to discuss some information by candlelight.

However, they didn't gather much information today. After leaving the church, they only chatted with a few other children and discovered that most of them were poor, orphans, or homeless...

They are either children whose mothers had an unplanned pregnancy and who loathed them, and who might suddenly abandon them one day; or they are children who were trafficked.

The candlelight flickered in the small room as the group began to summarize the information they had gathered that day.

As for the fairy Daphne, we'll observe for now, neither provoking her nor avoiding her.

However, at that moment, the church bells rang, signaling the curfew.

The group immediately extinguished the candles and pretended to be good children, shrinking into their blankets.

For them, pretending to be a good kid for the time being is not something unacceptable.

At night, those robust nuns would also conduct room checks, and the nuns had to make sure they were asleep during these checks.

Li Ge even felt like she was back in her junior and senior high school boarding school.

But they wouldn't actually fall asleep. They agreed to pretend to be asleep, but in reality, at least two of them would be awake and on guard at the same time.

This was something they were very familiar with, and they could even go without sleep for several days and nights in a row.

And right now, it is Li Ge who is "keeping watch".

The hardest part is actually pretending to be asleep, but not actually sleeping.

It seemed that more than an hour before curfew, he vaguely sensed a noise outside. Were the nuns starting to check the rooms?

Li Ge thought to himself, but he didn't open his eyes. Instead, he slowly calculated.

She seemed to be carrying a lamp, and then she came to the door of her little house with only one window.

Then she stopped at the window.

They should be leaving in a few minutes, right?

Li Ge thought to herself.

However, a minute passed, ten minutes passed, and even half an hour passed...

Li Ge almost thought she had left, but he didn't hear any footsteps.

He didn't open his eyes, but he gradually became certain that the nun was still by the window!

There was no sound of her leaving. What was she doing?

This was Li Ge's question. So, he decided to pretend to turn over and take the opportunity to steal a glance at the other side.

Even in this environment, his vision is still so good that he can see everything very clearly, especially in terms of dynamic vision.

Several more minutes passed, and there was still no sign of them leaving.

Li Ge decided to turn over and, taking the opportunity, quickly looked towards the window, however…

In his field of vision, there was a face pressed tightly against the windowpane, distorted and deformed by the pressure, an ugly and hideous face!

In that instant, through the faint light, he saw a face pressed tightly against the window, its features distorted and twisted by the pressure, making it appear hideous and ugly.

Her eyeballs bulged from being squeezed, and Li Ge's reflection was mirrored in her pupils. There was no malice in them, only a certain... fanaticism!

In particular, Li Ge was horrified to discover that the nun pressed against the glass was the same nun who had brought them here after their arrival!

And it seemed she had also noticed the dishonest Li Ge. With a grin spreading across her face, she said, "Gotcha!"

Chapter 159 Watch me outsmart Tang Yin and the others

The sheer horror of that moment sent chills down Li Ge's spine.

Whether intentionally or accidentally, Li Ge's current angle allows him to face the window directly by simply turning to the side, and in that instant, he can see the face of the person pressed against the glass, which is shimmering with a faint light.

To put it simply, you won't see such a horrifying scene anywhere else.

He even wondered if this was a targeted attack aimed at him. The noise woke up everyone around him, even those who were asleep.

Perhaps their young bodies made them more prone to sleep, as many had already fallen asleep. But the next moment, the door was smashed open, and the nearly three-meter-tall nun strode in like a giant. If before she had the same feeling a master had for Hakimi, who was being fostered at home, now she was like a raging beast.

His massive chest trembled with his heavy breathing, and his rounded hips swayed as if he were walking, but in reality he was already jogging.

At this moment, almost everyone was ready for battle. Although in their perception, these giant nuns were not strong, and might even be relatively weak, they estimated that any one of the four of them could defeat them in their original bodies.

But now, for them, who are eleven years old, if they forcefully use spiritual power, it will only increase the burden on their bodies to an unknown extent.

If she doesn't use spiritual power, then this giant nun would truly be considered a small elite monster-level unit.

However, there is a solution: the four people take turns using psionic energy, ensuring that each person has a long enough rest period before their turn to use it, thus minimizing the impact.

Therefore, they quickly prepared for direct combat!

However, Li Ge immediately reminded him, "Don't be impulsive. There's a nun outside every window in every room here. Don't get eliminated here. I'll go to the confessional to scout things out for you."

The next moment, his entire body was grabbed by the holy robe by a large hand, and he was almost lifted up like that.

Actually, this was the scene Li Ge saw after the nun broke down the door and completely stopped pretending.

He had initially assumed that only one nun would come to check the rooms each night, but when he got up and saw the scene outside, he was surprised to find a nun with a lantern standing in front of every single house, and the feeling that followed...

He felt as if a large group of giants were staring intently at the people in the city, and the pressure was compounded by the fact that their bodies had been shrunk, and they had to look up at those nearly three-meter-tall giants.

He felt that this scene was deliberately designed by Abaddon, and that he might even be in front of the monitor right now, admiring his own masterpiece.

Valerie was about to unleash a Pony Blast, but the next moment, her hand was grabbed by Yoru.

"Pretend to be asleep," Xiaoye said using lip reading.

"Can……"

Pretend to be asleep and believe him.

Finally, Valerie did not get up. Until Li Ge was taken away and the door was slowly closed, there was no movement in the entire room.

After hearing the footsteps gradually fade away, they gradually relaxed and began to communicate in their team group chat.

"Why didn't you make a move just now?" Valerie asked first.

“Li Ge may have discovered something. If we were to make a move now, we could likely inflict significant casualties, but the outcome would certainly be elimination. Therefore, Li Ge most likely chose to pretend to be Tang to trick them,” Yi Lian also analyzed.

Now they are basically very familiar with everyone's fighting style, so when they notice anything unusual, they can quickly figure it out.

Valerie understood immediately; Li Ge had been pretending to be Tang...

"What if he really does break off the engagement?" Valerie asked directly.

Ripple and Xiaoye: "..."

What else can we do? Just leave it as is.

Li Ge: "I'm in the group too. Could you please be a little more discreet when you're insulting me?"

Valerie: "..."

Li Ge: "Okay, actually I was also surprised. That nun's close-up attack was too terrifying. But it's okay, I'll go to the confessional to test things out, and I've already got a vague idea."

"As you all know, my new ability this time is 'born evil'. I never understood what this thing was for before, but all day today, the old priest kept telling us to stay pure, and the nun kept saying that impure children should be sent to the confessional. But the new ability I gained is to forcibly impose the concept of 'evil' on others and myself."

"Now I mostly understand that so-called purity is probably the opposite of evil. But I'm not sure what effect it has on evil, so I'm going to find a secluded place to try it out and see what happens."

He slowly explained his intentions and his entire reasoning in the group chat. His friends should then understand his good intentions.

Xiaoye: "I now suspect that you're making excuses to cover up your actions after the Tang-style maneuver."

Li Ge: "..."

Why are you speaking such obvious truths!

Well, Li Ge was genuinely surprised that he was about to be arrested. His initial instinct was to react immediately!

He had already taken out his belt, ready to slap it on his waist and shout "Transform!"

However, the sight of a dense crowd outside the door, with a nun at the entrance of each small house, calmed him down a bit. He then wondered if he should take the opportunity to check out the confessional.

So it was decided then, to pretend to be Tang.

In any case, the clown mask's power does not deplete his spiritual energy, so there are almost no side effects here.

He had discovered this last time in the Jin Dynasty: recognizing a thief as one's father was completely unaffected by the ban on magic. And here in Gensokyo, he further realized that this "innate evil" had absolutely no effect on his body.

In other words, the Joker Mask's abilities do not rely on psychic powers; the only cost is that the user himself will also become "evil."

So he wanted to find an opportunity to test this ability, and that's how he got captured. Although the beginning was unexpected, the rest was all within expectations.

After the group members calmed down, Li Ge continued, "I will also share information about the confessional with you later. I think that place should be a very important area."

“If anything goes wrong, I’ll solve the problem with violence and then I’ll escape alone. Don’t worry about me. I’ve observed this area. Although it’s not big, there are still a lot of undeveloped forests and other areas. If I go in there, I can hold them off for a long time.”

Li Ge then explained the situation he had gradually come up with. Although these were all things he had thought of on the spur of the moment, he quickly realized that they were feasible.

This is equivalent to the other teammates continuing the overt strategy while you operate covertly. If something happens to you, you can provide sufficient intelligence.

To be honest, even if Li Ge fails, it won't be a big problem. His average score is too high, so high that he could even miss one or two exams without any issues.

Once they feel confident, they might want to let loose.
