"I see."
Lingcai regained her composure at this time, and she began to think about the current situation. Now Genshin Island was attacked by Fangire, and although Kiva (Moon Rider) was defeated by Ixa (War Rider), he was not sure that he had completely disappeared, and Fangire seemed to have escaped, so the artificial management commune of Genshin Island sent so many people to search for her and Fangire. Now she was seriously injured, if she acted rashly, it would be really bad if she was discovered by Fangire or Ixa (War Rider), so it was the best policy to lie dormant now.
But Lingcai obviously couldn't just stay here and do nothing. She herself was not a quiet person. Fangire the moth had not been eliminated yet. Based on her hatred for Lingcai and her daughter, she obviously couldn't really leave Genshin Island before she was sure that Lingcai had completely disappeared. So she must still be somewhere on Genshin Island, searching for Lingcai's whereabouts. So she had to do something to prepare for the next battle with Fangire the moth.
Lingcai, who had made up her mind, urged her spiritual power and summoned the paper crane shikigami she carried with her. The shikigami flew up and flew out of the window under Lingcai's control. Lingcai's spiritual power was now deposited in the paper crane shikigami, so she could observe the outside world through the paper crane shikigami. She planned to use the shikigami, which was not easy to be discovered, to scout the outside world before making plans.
"The Genkami Island has been severely damaged. The damn moth Fangire actually did such a thing."
"I can sense many people with spiritual powers. They are search teams sent by the artificial island management company! There are fifteen of them in the open around here alone, and five more hiding in the dark. Do they really intend to dig deep into the ground to find Fangire and me? Qiqimora is right. It's best for us to hide quietly now."
"Fangire the Moth and Sayaka-senpai are not nearby, but we cannot rule out the possibility that they are hiding their presence and waiting nearby."
Suddenly, Lingcai saw the figure of a young man through the paper crane shikigami. It was Ling Chen. He walked out of the pharmacy with the bought medicine in his hand and was on his way home.
"That guy actually went to buy medicine for me? What? That guy is pretty nice." Lingcai thought without thinking. She had previously attributed all the mistakes to Lingchen and made trouble for him unreasonably. Logically speaking, if Lingchen had just left her alone or reported her to the Special Zone Guard, it wouldn't have been a strange thing, but he actually went to buy medicine for her, which gave Lingcai a warm feeling in her heart.
"Maybe Qiqimora is right, I should apologize to him. No, no matter what the reason is, he took advantage of me after all, why should I apologize to him. Ah - so conflicted!" Lingcai was caught in a struggle between his conscience and his desires.
At this time, something strange happened. When Ling Chen was walking on the deserted street, a woman appeared in front of him and blocked his way.
"Who is that woman!" The moment Lingcai saw the woman through the Shikigami, she felt a shudder. She didn't know the other person, but she felt a hint of danger from her. Lingcai's intuition was developed through the devilish training of Teacher Cat, and it had saved her life several times.
There should be only two people on Genkami Island who are powerful enough to make Reina feel threatened. One of them is naturally Ixa (Warrior). But this woman is obviously not Sayaka, so her identity is obvious. She is Fangire the Moth.
"That guy is in danger!" Lingcai exclaimed.
Ling Chen felt a little strange. He had successfully bought the medicine and did not arouse the suspicion of the search personnel and the pharmacy staff. After all, Xianshen Island had just experienced an attack by the moth Fangire, and many people were injured, so buying medicine was not strange. Just as he bought the medicine and was about to return to the door of the apartment building, a woman stopped him.
She was a tall and slender woman with a steady temperament, who looked to be in her twenties. She stood in front of Ling Chen, blocking his way home. She squinted her eyes and looked at Ling Chen. For some reason, Ling Chen could feel a dangerous aura from her.
"Who are you?" Ling Chen asked the strange woman.
"Where is that girl?" the strange woman asked, with cold murderous intent hidden in her words.
"Girl? I, I don't know what you are talking about?" Ling Chen instantly realized that the other party was talking about Lingcai, but he still pretended to be calm and played dumb.
"You don't want to tell me? It doesn't matter. Your body is stained with the phosphorus powder I left on her before. This means that you have been in contact with her for quite a long time. It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. I will pry open your mouth and make you tell me her whereabouts." The strange woman said with a cruel smile.
She was the moth Fangire. She had previously fought with Kiva (Moon Rider), but Ixa (War Rider) suddenly appeared to disrupt the situation. She then attached her phosphorus powder to Kiva (Moon Rider) and then left the scene. Ixa (War Rider)'s spirit destroyed most of her phosphorus powder when attacking Kiva (Moon Rider), but a small part remained.
Later, Lingcai was rescued by Lingchen and brought back to the apartment. Yuantang Yuan then possessed the shikigami and treated Lingcai. She also used a spell to remove the phosphorus powder attached to her body and set a barrier in the room to prevent the moth Fangire from finding this place. But even Yuantang Yuan did not expect that Lingchen would be attached to phosphorus powder when carrying Lingcai back to the room, and even more did not expect that Lingchen would go out to buy medicine for Lingcai, thus leaving the barrier she set, and was discovered by the moth Fangire.
Ling Chen is in a life-or-death crisis at this moment.]
Private Saikai Academy High School Grade 1 Class B
At this moment, the whole class has fallen into a strange silence. Asagi, Motoki and every student in the class are looking at Fangire, the moth that has revealed its true face, in shock. To Lingcai and Lingchen, the human form of Fangire is a strange woman, but to every student in Class B of the first year of Saikai Academy High School, the other party is someone they are very familiar with. They go to class and chat together every day.
Qian Cong slowly turned her head and looked at the girl who was also extremely shocked, and asked: "Alan, why is it you!?"
That's right, the true identity of Fangire the moth in the video is none other than Tsukijima Tomo, the monitor of Class B, first year, high school department of the private Saikai Academy, and a friend of Kojo, Asagi, and Motoki.
025. Future: Similar Two People 5K
Private Saikai Academy High School First Year Class B, at this moment, with Asagi's questioning, the whole class fell into a strange silence, and everyone stared at their class monitor, Tsukishima Rin. As the class monitor, Tsukishima Rin has an outstanding figure and a steady and rigorous personality. Although he speaks a little bit harshly, he is upright and cares about his classmates. Therefore, he is widely praised among his classmates and even ranked first in the "Come and step on me girls ranking". Although she was deeply shocked after hearing about it, it also shows that she is loved by everyone.
As for Fangire, the moth, he blew up several blocks of Genjinjima Island as soon as he appeared 22 years later, causing huge casualties. It was so terrifying that it was hard for people to associate him with the ordinary Tsukishima Ren. But now the video tells them that Tsukishima Ren is Fangire, which makes them full of fear for Ren.
"Damn it, how could Allen be a moth Fangire? Could it be that she, like Teacher Jian and Christopher, received the power given by the bishop?" Jishu was extremely nervous at this moment. If Allen was really a moth Fangire, then her strength would definitely exceed that of a true ancestor-level beast. Once she attacked and hurt someone, it would be troublesome. Several capsules appeared in his hand. They were ability development drugs developed for him by the artificial island management commune, which could enhance his abilities.
"If Ren really intends to go berserk, then I have to stop her temporarily even at the cost of my life, to buy time for Asagi and everyone else to escape. The rest will be left to that guy Kojou." Jishu thought. If this happened, Jishu would undoubtedly die, but Jishu himself did not retreat at all. After seeing what Kojou did in the video, Jishu was unknowingly affected by it.
"I just don't know if Senior Feidao will be sad after my sacrifice." Jishu thought in his heart.
Lun herself was in a state of bewilderment at the moment. She looked at her classmates who were facing a formidable enemy, and said with a helpless expression, "Well, I'm not Fangire the Moth, at least not now."
"So, Allen, you haven't obtained the power of Fangire the moth yet, right?" Asagi analyzed calmly.
"That's right. Asagi, you actually believed what I said without any doubt." Lun said in surprise.
"You have no reason to lie to us. After all, if you are really Fangire the Moth, you can easily kill all of us after being exposed and then escape. There is no need to go through so much trouble." Asagi said slowly.
After hearing Qiancong's analysis, the students around him also relaxed their vigilance.
"But what I want to know more is, Allen, why did you become the moth Fangire?" Asagi said.
Hearing her words, Lun's body trembled violently. Her face turned slightly red as she looked at the empty seat next to Asagi, and slowly moved away from Asagi.
Video continues playing
[Ling Chen broke out in a cold sweat. Based on what the strange woman said before, he realized that his hiding of Ling Cai had been completely exposed, and the other party was obviously planning to harm Ling Cai.
An orange sword suddenly appeared in the hand of the strange woman (Tsukijima Lun). Ling Chen wanted to turn around and run away, but he suddenly felt that his body seemed to be locked by invisible chains and he could not move.
The strange woman (Tsukijima Lun) pointed her sword at him and said, "Don't waste your energy. You can't escape. I have also set up a barrier around here with the power of the Demon King, so don't even think that someone will come to save you."
"Now can you please tell me the whereabouts of that girl? Then I will let you go."
"…What do you want to do to Reina?"
"The child's name is Lingcai, right? That's a good name." The strange woman (Tsukijima Ren) said to herself.
"Answer my question!" Ling Chen shouted.
The strange woman (Tsukijima Lun) looked at Ling Chen in surprise. Normally, ordinary people would be scared to death when facing a strong person who wanted to threaten them, but this boy had the courage to ask her back. Compared with himself who was already in danger, he was more concerned about Lingcai's safety. For a moment, she seemed to see the shadow of the gray-haired boy in this boy.
Therefore, the strange woman (Tsukijima Ren) actually answered his question truthfully: "It doesn't hurt to tell you, that girl is the child of the woman I hate the most, so I want to kill her."
"How can I possibly tell you where Lingcai is if that's the case!" Ling Chen roared.
"You don't have the right to choose." The strange woman (Tsushima Ren) said coldly.
"Let's make a multiple-choice question. Choose to protect that girl's life, or to save your own life." She placed the sword on Ling Chen's neck. The sharp blade cut the skin on Ling Chen's neck, and trickles of blood flowed out.
"Only by living can you realize your dreams, and only by living can you experience the beauty of this world. Choose between letting that girl live, or letting yourself live. I believe most people can do such a simple arithmetic problem."
"...I'm sorry, I was not good at calculating before." Ling Chen refused. Of course he wanted to live, but he couldn't betray his friends, sacrifice their lives, and live in humiliation. Moreover, he felt something in Ling Cai that he cared about, which made him unable to betray Ling Cai.
"Oh, that's a pity." The strange woman (Tsukijima Lun) lowered her eyes and looked at Ling Chen's fingers.
"Start with the fingers, then the toes, arms, legs, cutting them off one by one. How many cuts can you make? It's really exciting."
The words of the strange woman (Tsukijima Lun) made Ling Chen pale, but he gritted his teeth and refused to reveal Lingcai's whereabouts.
The strange woman (Tsukijima Ren) raised her sword and was about to chop down, but at this moment, the savior finally arrived.
The sound of breaking wind was heard behind the strange woman (Tsukijima Rin). She turned around suddenly and slashed behind her. The two wolf-shaped gods that attacked from behind were killed by one sword.
At this moment, a smaller figure rushed out while she turned around, bypassed Ling Chen, and came behind her.
"Ruolei!" A delicate cry was heard, and Lingcai punched the strange woman (Tsukijima Lun) who had just turned around in the lower abdomen, knocking her away.
"Look at that face, you must be Reina!" The strange woman (Tsukijima Rin) said in shock and anger when she saw Reina's face which was exactly the same as her mother's before being knocked away.
But Lingcai did not reply to her words. She turned around, grabbed Lingchen's arm, and took him away quickly. When the strange woman (Tsukijima Lun) stood up, they had disappeared.
Lingcai's rescue raid was perfect. Fangire moved in human form to avoid being discovered by the search team, but Fangire's strength would be greatly reduced in human form, which gave Lingcai an opportunity. She was seriously injured, so she simply did not transform. Because of this, she could restrain her breath very well. Without being discovered by Fangire, she sneaked into the vicinity and observed secretly. At the moment when Fangire's attention was on Lingchen, she made a feint to the east and attacked in the west, and successfully rescued Lingchen.
While running wildly, Lingcai cast a cleansing spell on Ling Chen and himself to remove the phosphorus powder on their bodies and prevent the moth Fangire from tracking them.
She ran with Ling Chen at high speed, passing through the alleys and roads skillfully, her figure was so fast that people could not react. Finally, after running for ten minutes, Ling Cai finally stopped.
"Kikimora, how is it?" Lingcai called out.
"No trace of her was found. It seems she didn't catch up." The yellow bat flew down from the sky and answered. When Lingcai ran away just now, it was observing the situation in the sky, providing navigation for Lingcai and confirming whether Fangire the moth was chasing.
"I'll go take a look around and confirm the situation." Kikimora flew away.
"It looks like we are safe for now." Lingcai panted heavily. The previous action had reopened her wounds, and now she felt pain all over her body.
"Lingcai, your injury..." Ling Chen looked at Lingcai's appearance at this moment. When Lingcai ran out of the bedroom, she casually took a set of Lingchen's clothes and put them on. Now the blood had seeped out of the bandage, and blood stains appeared on the clothes.
But Lingcai suddenly exerted force, threw him out and threw him to the ground.
"It hurts, what are you doing?" Ling Chen shouted.
"You big idiot!" Lingcai suddenly cried out. She looked at Lingchen with tearful eyes and shouted angrily:
"Why did you save me?! Why did you go out to buy medicine for me who was making trouble for no reason?! Why didn't you hand me over as a suspicious person to the Special Zone Security Team?! Why didn't you tell others my whereabouts when you were threatened by that guy?! Why did you do so much for me?!"
At this point, Lingcai squatted down, lowered her head, covered her face with her hands, and sobbed, "I, I have clearly decided not to rely on anyone anymore; I have clearly decided not to be a burden to anyone anymore; I have clearly decided not to put others in danger because of me; I have clearly decided to be strong even if I am alone. Why did you make me become what I am now? Doesn't this make me seem as useless as before?"
At this time, Ling Chen walked forward, squatted down, grabbed Lingcai's hands with both hands, and took them away from Lingcai's face, revealing Lingcai's sad and tearful face.
Ling Chen looked directly into Ling Cai's eyes and said, "Ling Cai, you have actually been lonely all along, right?"
Ignoring Lingcai's panicked expression, Ling Chen continued, "When I first met Lingcai, I felt that you were very lonely. If you want to know why I know, it's because I'm a lonely person too."
Ling Chen continued to reminisce, "I have loved the violin since I was a child. I practiced hard and had a high talent, so I achieved success at a young age. No matter what the song was, I could play it perfectly after listening to it once. When I was twelve years old, I could no longer find a teacher to teach me. I could only grope my way forward on my own, all by myself. Later, I encountered a bottleneck and could not break through it no matter what. No one could give me any advice."
When Lingcai heard this, he inexplicably thought of himself. He was just like Ling Chen. When he was a child, he made a vow to become a kiva (moon rider) to protect the world. He worked hard and moved towards his goal alone. But now, he has encountered a "bottleneck" like Ling Chen and has to face two major obstacles: the moth Fangire and Ixa (war rider).
"Although many people told me that I am good enough, I still want to keep going. Even if it will leave me bruised and battered. So I came to this island to study abroad alone, thinking that seeing different scenery may give me different insights." Ling Chen said with emotion.
"Then I met Lingcai. Maybe it was because Lingcai was the same as me. I could see at first glance that Lingcai was my kind. You, like me, are working alone for your beliefs. So I wanted to help Lingcai. I didn't want Lingcai to continue to be alone. Even if Lingcai depends on me, even if I will be in danger because of helping Lingcai, it doesn't matter. To me, Lingcai is definitely not a burden. Lingcai, who keeps working hard for her beliefs, is really beautiful to me." Ling Chen looked directly at Lingcai and told her all this.
This is also one of the main reasons why he did not betray Lingcai in the face of Fangire's threat, because he saw his own shadow in Lingcai. If he betrayed Lingcai, it would be equivalent to betraying himself who kept working hard for music. That's why he helped Lingcai, because he knew how much pain Lingcai had endured in the process of lonely hard work, so he couldn't help but want to help her.
"This guy is such a pushover." Lingcai couldn't help but think in her heart. Even if she was in the dark, she would help others who were in the dark like her to move towards the light, even if it would not bring any benefit to her or even hurt her. Such a person was really a real fool, but Lingcai didn't hate him.
"Poof" Lingcai suddenly burst into laughter.
"You are really an idiot." Lingcai, wearing a mask, spoke his true feelings to others for the first time.
"Ah? I'm telling the truth, why are you laughing?" Ling Chen said dumbfounded.
"It's nothing. Seeing an idiot talking to himself in front of you, you can't help but want to laugh at him." Lingcai said sarcastically.
"You are such a sharp-tongued guy!" Ling Chen sighed.
"That's right, that's who I am. So, do you regret it?" Lingcai suddenly looked at him seriously and asked.
"Not really. After all, we have already done it and we cannot give up halfway." Ling Chen replied.
"Really? Thank you."
"Um"
"Speaking of which, what should we do now? Moth Fangire and the Special Zone Guard are probably looking for us everywhere. Also, we can't go back to your apartment because we might run into Moth Fangire. And my wound from saving you before has reopened, and I can't go to the hospital. I can't go back to Teacher Cat either. What should we do?" After analyzing the current situation, Lingcai held his head and said in distress.
Her attention had been drawn to Ling Chen before, but now that her attention had returned, she found that the wounds on her body were extremely painful, and she could not go back to Ling Chen's apartment, her only base before, because the moth Fangire might be waiting there.
"By the way, is that woman the moth Fangire you mentioned? Lingcai, who are you? Why would that Fangire chase you?" Ling Chen asked puzzled.
"...I am Kiva (Moon Rider). I fought with Fangire to protect Genshin Island, but I was seriously injured and became what I am now." Lingcai suddenly said. After experiencing a life-and-death crisis together, she also developed trust in Lingchen, so she decided to tell him her true identity.
"Hey! Lingcai, you are actually the bat monster reported on TV!" Ling Chen said in surprise.
"It's not the bat monster! It's Kiva (Moon Rider)! Kiva (Moon Rider)!" Lingcai corrected loudly.
"Are you surprised?" Lingcai asked Ling Chen with a smile.
"Ah! How should I put it? There have been enough surprising things happening today that have surprised me. I feel like I've gotten used to it." Ling Chen replied.
"Our top priority now is to find a place to help you heal your wounds. So where is this place?" Ling Chen asked.
"This is near the private Caihai College." Lingcai replied. She had been running away madly before, and subconsciously fled to the Caihai College that she was most familiar with.
"Caihai College? I didn't expect that this is the first time I come here." Ling Chen said with a strange look on his face. He then asked, "Can I use the school's infirmary?"
"I'm afraid not. After the Fangire moth attacked last night, there are many disaster victims gathered here. We are likely to be discovered if we go in."
"So are there any other places nearby where we can heal our wounds? Wait a minute, I'll check." Ling Chen took out his cell phone from his pocket and started looking for information.
"Ah, I found it. There is a monastery called Adirad in the park on the back mountain of Caihai College. The nuns there seem to be very good at treatment." Ling Chen said as he looked at the surprise collector.
"Yadirad Monastery? Is there such a place in the back mountain of this academy? How did you know about it?" Lingcai asked suspiciously.
"It was the nun and abbess of this monastery who introduced her online. According to her, she is very good at treating injuries. She said that if there are people who are injured and need help, they can go there." Ling Chen replied.
"Didn't you and Qiqimora say that you were afraid of exposing your identities and couldn't go to the hospital? Then isn't this place perfect?"
"...Okay, since you said so, let's go and take a look." Lingcai agreed. She couldn't go to an official medical institution like a hospital, because treatment there might expose her true appearance, which was the same as her mother's, and be discovered by the high-ranking officials of Genshin Island, who would then infer her true identity. However, there wouldn't be anyone in a small monastery who knew her mother.
In this way, Lingcai, who remained in his original appearance, was led by Ling Chen towards the monastery on the back mountain of Caihai College.
After walking for a while, they found the legendary Adyrad Monastery deep in the quiet forest. The whole monastery looked clean and orderly, with all kinds of flowers planted all around. The sunlight shone through the dense forest, making this place look quiet and beautiful, like the secret place where fairies live in the fairy tale.
"Is anyone there?" Ling Chen asked loudly as he opened the door.
"Wow...!" Lingcai suddenly felt like she had discovered a treasure. Her eyes lit up with excitement as she looked into the monastery.
"What's wrong? Zero food?" Ling Chen asked in surprise.
