Chapter 103 The Truth
Waier, who initially wanted to see what tricks Rumi Tsurumi could come up with, can now only look at Rumi Tsurumi, who was blocking the cubicle door, as if she were a fool.
Not to mention whether the creature she imagined would appear, if it really appeared, did she think she could effectively block it by doing this?
However, Vaier did not want to explain these words to Tsurumi Rumi, and stood quietly waiting for her next move. Tsurumi Rumi stood at the door for half a minute, put her ear to the door and listened carefully, but there was no strange sound. She quietly opened the door a crack, and through the crack she could see the balloon parked inside intact, which confirmed that the rumor was also false.
(No, this could actually be true @Vaiel)
So far, they have seen four of the seven wonders, and all four were fake, which made Tsurumi Rumi, who was originally very excited, feel very depressed.
Holding Wai'er's hand as they walked down the corridor, she puffed up her cheeks and began to curse those students who had let her hear these rumors. Wai'er could sense that she was in a bad mood, so she took the initiative to change the subject: "Didn't they say there were seven wonders in total? We've found four and there are three left. Where are we going next?"
Tsurumi Rumi counted on her fingers one by one: "The statue is gone, the piano is gone, the mirror and the partition are gone, and the only things left are the human model in the laboratory and the steps in the basement."
4+2=7?
Is this...
"That's only six in total. Didn't you say seven wonders at the beginning?"
Tsurumi Rumi nodded seriously and said, "Yes, there are seven in total, but..."
She lowered her voice, trying to make her words sound more terrifying and eerie, but it sounded more adorable to Waier.
"But those who knew all seven of the mysteries were all taken away by the evil spirits of hell!!!"
"..."
What am I looking forward to? Wai'er not only thought so, but also said that it was worthy of the imagination of elementary school students, which would not disappoint her at all.
"Why do you look like that? Oh, don't you believe it, Xiaoyi?" Seeing Waier's expression of "That's good too," Tsurumi Rumi continued to explain: "Let me tell you, there were a few students in the school who knew all seven wonders, but they all disappeared mysteriously!"
"Transfer to another school?"
"Three of them transferred to other schools, and the last one disappeared recently. Didn't the police come to the school that day? Didn't you see it, Xiao Yi?"
The day the police came...I seemed to have fallen asleep.
Waier scratched his head expressionlessly. Although he felt very embarrassed, he absolutely could not show it in words. Following Tsurumi Rumi's instructions, the two of them soon arrived at the laboratory on the second floor.
As an elite primary school, there is nothing wrong with learning physics, chemistry, and the mysteries of the human body a few years in advance. It's normal.
However, this time, Tsurumi Rumi did not take the lead like last time. Instead, she hesitated at the door and did not dare to go in. This made Waier a little strange, because she was very brave in the first few attempts.
In fact, many children were afraid of the human body model in the laboratory when they were young. After all, those internal organs and bones were indeed a little difficult for elementary school students to accept.
And this fifth incredible thing sounds quite creepy. It is said that the human body model in the laboratory is alive. The local lord once made a living person into this specimen for fun. Now he comes out every night when it is quiet, and looks for those lonely children to collect their organs and use them as materials for his own resurrection.
Anyone who is a high school student or above would just treat this rumor as a joke, but these elementary school students in the Kingdom of Kids believe it without a doubt. Although she is more mature than other children, Tsurumi Rumi is no exception. She hides at the door and wants Waier to go in first to explore the way.
Opening the small bag in her schoolbag, Tsurumi Rumi took out the highly lethal weapon she had prepared for a long time, which was a small pistol that fired BB bullets. For people of the same age, this pistol was as lethal as her parents' mixed doubles at home.
Knowing that Tsurumi Rumi was afraid of the mannequin, Waier had no bad intentions and decisively opened the door and approached the mannequin.
Tsurumi Rumi was very loyal and hid outside the door, secretly looking inside, ready to escape at any time if something unusual happened. Friends are birds of a feather, but when disaster strikes, they fly away separately.
Waier knocked twice on the exposed stomach surface of the human model with the joint of his index finger. He heard a "dong dong dong" sound inside, but it was still hollow and didn't look like there was any life inside at all.
He waved to Tsurumi Rumi outside the door, telling her that it was safe and she didn't need to be scared. Tsurumi Rumi moved closer with some doubt, and only felt relieved after confirming that the mannequin would not move.
He is so scared but still wants to come. Is this what people often call being a wimp and a troublemaker?
But what caught Vayle's attention more was the glass behind the mannequin. It was clearly a complete piece of glass, but there were many unnatural cracks on it. It looked a little familiar...
……
...
The last stop for the two was the school's basement. There was a legend among the students that after seven o'clock in the evening, the steps in the basement would increase from twelve to thirteen. When someone stepped down from the thirteenth step, the door to the other world would open. This was also the incredible thing that Tsurumi Rumi was most interested in.
Waier, who already had some special ideas about these incredible things, did not want to dampen the enthusiasm of Tsurumi Rumi, so she obediently held her hand and jumped down the steps one by one, starting from the first, the second, the third... the thirteenth. As long as she took the last step from here, the door to another world would open!
……
……
Nothing happened.
Rumi Tsurumi looked around but didn't see the expected portal. She tightened her grip on Waier's hand in dissatisfaction. Suddenly, Waier stood beside her and laughed.
"Haha...hahaha!"
"...Xiao Yi, why are you laughing?"
Waiel stopped laughing, looked at Tsurumi Rumi gently, and said slowly: "If I'm not mistaken, among these seven wonders, only the piano I played and the stairs in the basement were rumors before I transferred to this school."
Tsurumi Rumi nodded obediently. The school's seven wonders had been changed many times, and only the piano and the basement had not been changed. Even if they knew that all seven wonders would disappear, it was only because of the sudden disappearance of students recently, and some people who liked to imagine connected the previous transfer students to it.
"So that's why I'm laughing, because I discovered a little secret that was hidden."
Waiel took off the backpack and placed it on the clean ground, leaning it against a small cabinet nearby.
"This seventh wonder is not false, but actually happened, but the cause and effect relationship is wrong."
At this point, strange rustling noises began to appear in the basement, and it sounded like some strange creature was moving at a very fast speed.
Because of fear, Tsurumi Rumi shrank to Wai'er's side. Wai'er also stretched out a hand to block her in front of him to protect her, tilting his head and saying to her: "He didn't disappear because he knew all the incredible things. Instead, after he disappeared, people imagined that it was because he knew all the incredible things. In fact, he didn't disappear, but entered the belly of some cowardly mirror monster!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a shadow hiding in the dark and moving rapidly suddenly sped up and attacked the two of them.
Chapter 104 Special Circumstances
Waiel stood in front of Tsurumi Rumi and only conjured up a right claw to block the sneak attack from the shadows.
When the shadow saw that its attack was blocked, it looked at the white tiger claw that Waier's right hand had turned into, and it was obviously stunned for a moment.
In its panic, it did not notice the curtain under its feet. There was a skylight in the basement that had been covered with this cloth, which allowed it to hide its figure.
An unintentional movement pulled the black cloth off, and the window against the ceiling finally saw the light of day again. The high light outside the window shone into the room, illuminating every inch of the land here.
The clear, condensed moonlight dispelled the shadows under the night sky, and Waier and Tsurumi Rumi finally saw the true face of the shadow.
Seeing the hideous teeth and twisted arms, Waier confirmed that it was indeed a mirror monster, and a mirror monster that had just been born not long ago.
But this is strange. The wild mirror monsters that Vayle has seen in this world have never been so far away from their birthplace. She has been studying in school for so long, and she knows this place inside and out. There is no ovary of the mirror monster at all, so why did this mirror monster appear here?
This mirror monster has two big bags on its head and looks very scary. Waier has seen a similar mirror monster elsewhere. It is a spider-shaped bipedal mirror monster. In addition to being able to spray spider silk, it can also spray out the venom in the bags.
However, when the mirror monster saw that Waiel was of the same kind as it, it seemed that all its fighting spirit disappeared. Now it panicked and wanted to escape from the basement, but Waiel would not give it this opportunity.
Waier knew how to use the extra power in his body. He flipped his palm and three cell coins appeared in his hand. He tightened his strength and held the three cell coins tightly in his hand. A sudden chill instantly enveloped the entire basement.
The white ice fog spread out in all directions with Waiel as the center. The coldness contained in the fog was not something that ordinary people could touch, so Waiel deliberately left a piece of space in Tsurumi Rumi so that the fog would automatically avoid it.
The spreading cold air formed a thick layer of ice on the ground. Before the mirror monster could escape, its legs were firmly frozen to the ground and its movement was restricted. The mirror monster seemed very hysterical. It tried frantically to move its legs but no matter how hard it tried, it could not break free.
Ever since Vaier learned how to use the power in her body, she can now easily control the cold. The moment its legs were frozen, the biting cold invaded its body tissues. Now its legs are no longer its own, but a solid ice sculpture.
After many fruitless attempts, it finally realized that its legs could not move with it, so it made up its mind to cut off its legs at the junction of flesh and ice at the thigh. Without its "legs", the mirror monster lost its support and its upper body fell off and hit the ground.
It was too late to cry or howl in pain, it just wanted to get away from here and run away. It crawled on the ground with its hands, the ground was very cold, and its hands were frozen and painful, but it couldn't stop, because stopping would mean death.
Mirror Monsters take their own lives very lightly. They are so insignificant that they are either killed by the Kamen Riders of the Mirror World because they have eaten too many humans and turned into life energy, or they are eaten by more powerful ones of the same kind. If they are not satisfied with their strength, they may not survive the next day.
In front of me is the mirror where I came out of. As long as I can reach that place... as long as I can reach that place!
As it was lying there, it suddenly realized that its perspective had suddenly become much higher, and its hands were clamped by a huge force, and a human face was looking at it.
"So why on earth are you here?"
Vayle asked with a puzzled look on her face. This was the first time she had seen a mirror monster leave its ovaries in this world.
Feeling the pressure of the other party's superiority, although he was very curious why the person in front of him looked so much like a human, if he hadn't recognized her as a human, he would never have come out of the mirror world.
But there is no point in complaining about this now. The power of life and death is in the hands of the other party. The mirror monster answered honestly: "The harsh roar of the creature"
After getting the answer from the mirror monster, Wai'er decisively used his claws to break through its chest and took out a ball of pure life energy. Then, the body was casually thrown to the ground by Wai'er. The body that lost its life energy turned into ashes the moment it touched the ground and disappeared from this world.
The mirror monster told her that it came here to escape from a duo. It did stay around the ovary at first, but suddenly one day two people came there, one of whom was wearing heavy armor and followed by a rhino contract beast, and the other was even more terrifying. Although his body was not much different from that of a human, he felt physically uncomfortable.
In order to escape from the two men, it hid its tracks and rarely came out to hunt, even though its body was already extremely weak. It only recently escaped to this school.
It accidentally learned about the seven wonders at school and thought of using them to secretly hunt in this school. However, it didn't know that the children who were said to be missing before had transferred to other schools, and only the first student it hunted here was really missing.
Most mirror monsters don't have much intelligence, but occasionally there will be some smarter mirror monsters like this one. It's a shame that Waier knows that he was not a smart mirror monster in the past.
Looking at the ball of pure life energy in his hand, Waier did not deliberately avoid Tsurumi Rumi's gaze and absorbed the energy into his body.
Tsurumi Rumi has seen his true appearance, but she has never asked him anything about it. This is what Waier is most confused about.
But Wai'er didn't have such low EQ that she would ask anything. If Tsurumi Rumi didn't intend to ask, she didn't intend to explain anything. Wai'er felt comfortable with the way the two of them were getting along now, and there was no need to change anything.
Although she had intentionally left her some space, the biting cold still reached her body. Feeling the temperature around her was getting lower and lower, Tsurumi Rumi squatted down and hugged her legs, trying to increase the body contact to make herself warmer.
Seeing her reaction, Waier picked up the backpack beside him and put it on his shoulder. After making sure it would not slip off, he put his right arm around Rumi Tsurumi's back and reached his other hand around her legs to pick her up.
Chapter 105: Not So Insignificant
What she had just seen was a little too exciting, and Tsurumi Rumi's legs felt a little weak, so Waier carried her to the school courtyard.
The atrium of this elementary school is a small garden with flowers and plants raised by students. On the other side of the atrium, there is a small bungalow for raising small animals. As for why the atrium was chosen, it is because there are benches for resting. Although there are tables and chairs in the classroom in the teaching building, it is very dark. After experiencing such an exciting thing, Wai'er didn't want her to stay there any longer, so he took her out.
The weather is good tonight. The sky is cloudless and you can clearly see the stars. The starry sky is so wonderful. On the surface, the stars in the sky look like weapons, but if you look at them intently, you will discover their beauty.
Waier waved in front of Tsurumi Rumi's dazed eyes, and Tsurumi Rumi finally reacted and blinked, looking away from the temptation of the deep space.
Looking at Wai'er who was worried about her, Tsurumi Rumi covered her mouth and smiled. This was not the first time she had encountered such a thing. She and Wai'er had encountered a monster in the forest during the summer camp, and it was Wai'er who saved her just like this time.
Rumi Tsurumi is still young. She doesn't know what is right or wrong. She is just a slightly mature child without too many good values. She only knows that Waier is her friend now, her only friend. No matter what happens to her friend, she will not betray her, so Rumi Tsurumi doesn't intend to ask anything.
...But I still care about it, just out of pure curiosity, what exactly is Vayle and what are those monsters.
Noticing that Rumi Tsurumi finally moved her eyes away from the starry sky and kept staring at him, Waier waved his hands in front of Rumi's eyes in confusion: "What's wrong? You keep staring at me."
"Ah! Um..." Only then did she realize that her gaze was too explicit. In order to hide her shyness, Tsurumi Rumi pulled the backpack on her right hand over and took out a lunch box from it.
Putting the lunch box on her legs, she gently opened the lid of the lunch box, and neatly placed the sandwiches inside. Tsurumi Rumi picked out the best sandwich she thought was made, a sandwich with blueberry jam, and handed it to Waiel, saying, "I made all of this. I know you like blueberries, so I prepared this flavor especially for you~"
She took the sandwich from Rumi Tsurumi with a blank expression, thinking that she had consumed a lot of energy in the battle today, and although these sandwiches were a drop in the bucket, a little bit counts, so she ate them heartily. It tasted good and she was very satisfied because it was blueberry.
Seeing Wai'er wolfing down the food, she felt very satisfied that her efforts were appreciated by Wai'er. The gloom just now almost disappeared, and a happy smile returned to her face.
Soon, the two of them finished eating all the sandwiches in the lunch box, although most of them were eaten by Wai. Wai was in a very good mood now, and she was really refreshed. Maybe she was a little drunk on blueberries because of the large amount of blueberry jam she consumed. She found that she was so high now, and she looked at Tsurumi Rumi with a smile, and she said some words without thinking.
"Xiao Liumei, hiccup~ Don't you have anything you want to ask me? Like what kind of creature am I?"
"Eh?"
This was the third time that Xiao Yi called herself Xiao Rumi. Tsurumi Rumi still remembered these details very clearly. Although I had decided not to ask any more questions before, since Xiao Yi asked me on her own initiative, it would be okay for me to tell her.
"Um...Xiao Yi you..."
After thinking for a long time, she obviously had a lot of questions, but she couldn't say them. The two of them remained silent for two minutes. Finally, Tsurumi Rumi managed to say: "Xiao Yi, do you think I am your friend?"
"Of course~"
The woman said it directly without any hesitation. This was also thanks to the fact that she was now in a state of blueberry drunkenness. When she sobered up and thought about what she said now, she would probably be ashamed.
"..."
Rumi Tsurumi lowered her head, and Waier couldn't see her blushing face. This was the first time someone admitted to be her friend, and Rumi Tsurumi was really excited.
"Just know these. If you want to tell me anything else, Xiaoyi~"
Rumi Tsurumi tilted her head, leaned it on Waier's shoulder and closed her eyes. She thoroughly enjoyed this moment of tranquility with her friend.
"Then I'll tell you!"
Waier is really excited now, even his tone is much more cheerful.
"I am a creature from the mirror world. Then some strange things happened. Now I am half mirror monster and half lust-devouring monster~"
Although she didn't know what a mirror monster or a lust-devouring monster was, Tsurumi Rumi just nodded thoughtfully and leaned against Wai'er. Wai'er was still chattering, and Tsurumi Rumi suddenly had a flash of inspiration and interrupted Wai'er and asked, "Is your brother, Xiaoyi, the same as you?"
Wai'er was silent for a while, his face became more stable and no longer wavering, and he asked calmly, "Why do you ask that, Xiao Liumei?"
Tsurumi Rumi got up from Wai'er's shoulder, blushed and lowered her head, clasped her hands together and moved them around under her chin: "Nothing, I just wanted to ask out of curiosity."
Suddenly, an anger symbol appeared on Waier's forehead, just like a character in a comic book. He reached out his hands, pinched each side of Tsurumi Rumi's face, and began to pull them apart.
"Did I ever tell you not to be interested in my brother? Did you turn a deaf ear to my words?"
"Wuwu~" With her mouth grabbed, Rumi Tsurumi couldn't speak. She grabbed Waier's arms and patted them gently. The mumbling sound sounded very similar to the French song "I surrender! I surrender!" (I don't know if there is such a French song).
