If it is fake, then the biggest possibility is that this world is a dream, but...can dreams be so real?

Jiang Zao could clearly feel the softness of the quilt and the faint scent of gardenia on Kailu's bed. He picked up the clothes and stockings she had changed, and the remaining body temperature and fragrance were also very clear.

The dream... doesn't seem right?

Chapter 325 Surprise Gift

As soon as Kailu came out, she saw Jiang Zao holding her clothes and looking at them "affectionately". She didn't care that she was only wrapped in a bath towel and rushed over to take back the clothes. She blushed and scolded, "What are you doing, pervert?"

The scent of shampoo wafted from the girl's wet hair. Her fair skin looked particularly attractive with a rosy glow from having just finished a bath. Her watery emerald eyes were mixed with shyness and a little bit of anger.

"Why did you come out without even drying your hair?" Jiang Zao looked at Kailu calmly, as if he had not done anything strange at all.

"I originally wanted you to help blow dry my hair... Who knew you... You were so impatient."

Jiang Zao's expression was serious: "Well...can I say that I was just confirming something just now?"

His expression really frightened Kailu. She loosened her clenched fist and asked curiously, "Confirm...confirm what?"

"Your body odor."

"Die!!!"

"Bang." Jiang Zao held the fist that was hitting his eyes firmly in his hand, and his legs clamped the white and well-proportioned slender legs. He pushed Kailu down on the bed with a little force, and the bath towel tied around her chest also spread out, revealing a snow-white and delicate skin.

"Don't... don't look..." Kailu said weakly. She held her hair in the corners of her mouth and shy tears rolled in her eyes. She begged in a low voice: "Can you... turn off the light?"

"it is good."

The lights went out, and her snow-white body emitted a faint glow in the darkness. Jiang Zao's hot body and breath made her scream, but she was immediately blocked by him.

His fingers traveled through every corner of her body like an adventurer. The rough touch made her feel itchy and suffocated, as if there were some emotions that she couldn't vent.

Kailu held Jiang Zao's cheeks with both hands. She could see those sky-blue eyes clearly even in the dark night. She seemed to be asking him or herself and whispered softly: "Really... Is it okay?"

"Ah."

After getting a response, a smile appeared on her lips, as if a lump deep in her heart was finally smoothed out. She took the initiative to hold his head in her arms and feel the heat.

The girl's tender cry of pain was like the first bird song after the rain, crisp and short, and soon it became like a bird in love, singing a love song that was unique to her, sometimes quickly and sometimes slowly.

The sound of fine raindrops hitting the banana leaves echoed continuously in the room. Kailu put her arms around Jiang Zao's back and neck, opened her mouth to reveal her cute fangs, and then bit his shoulder.

"I say... is it necessary to do this..."

"I like."

"Okay... you feel pain and I feel pain, it's fair."

Their chests were pressed together, and the sound of their heartbeats was like drums beating against each other, striking deep in their souls, tempering the emotion called "love".

Time is like a pair of invisible big hands, peeling off the veil made of moonlight in the night layer by layer, until the last layer is peeled off, and the morning light will cover the room again as a new veil.

The dormitory window is not big and faces the endless sea. Jiang Zao hugged Kailu and leaned against the wall, looking at the red sun slowly rising above the sea level. Even though they had not slept all night, they did not feel mentally tired, but rather felt particularly refreshed.

"Kailu, how many days does the competition last?"

"Two days. You wasted half a day yesterday." Kailu pulled out his big hand that was hiding in the quilt and bit it lightly. Then she put it back and let him do whatever he wanted, with her eyes slightly narrowed, like a kitten enjoying the caress of her owner.

"Then we have to work hard today."

"As long as you know."

"Gurgle~" Jiang Zao's stomach made a sound called "hunger". He patted Kailu's smooth thigh in annoyance and said, "I should have bought some food yesterday!"

She angrily yelled at him, "Why are you patting my legs? Are you crazy?"

"Hey, I accidentally took the wrong photo."

"I don't believe you. Breakfast won't be delivered for another hour. You'd better starve until then!" Kailu turned sideways and pressed on his chest, then found a comfortable position to lie down.

Jiang Zao said with a bitter face: "No, I've been hungry since midnight... Can't we go out to eat earlier?"

"The stalls outside haven't opened yet. How can you be so energetic when you're hungry in the middle of the night?"

"Well... let's put one thing on one thing, how about... let's go take a shower?"

"Go by yourself. I don't want to move."

"Okay, remember to wash after I'm done."

"I know, go quickly."

While he was taking a shower, Kailu jumped up and cut off the dark red plum blossom patterned fabric in the middle of the bed sheet. Even Jiang Zao didn't know that she had a pair of scissors hidden under her pillow. She probably put them there on the first day they lived together.

When Kailu came out of the shower, she understood why Jiang Zao chose to stand by the window, because the smell in the room last night was so strong that it was even choking.

The bubble containing breakfast has appeared in the air. The two of them dressed neatly and walked out of the dormitory with breakfast. The windows were opened for ventilation. They couldn't have a normal breakfast in that environment.

Compared to her initial urgency to become the champion and receive the mermaid's blessing, Kael is now much more relaxed. She doesn't care about winning or losing or ranking in each stall game, and simply enjoys spending time with Jiang Zao.

Despite this, she was able to get good rankings in the games she participated in, and after the bell announcing the competition rang, the medal number on the back of her student ID card was fixed at "X562".

On the overall points list, this number shocked many people. Many students could not imagine that someone could get such a high score in the Blue Ocean Festival. The most medals won by the champions in previous festivals were only around 300.

"Well... let's welcome the champion to the stage!" The principal held the microphone in her left hand and stretched to the side. The spotlight followed her movement and focused on Kailu who was slowly walking onto the stage.

"is her!?"

"Didn't they say that a child abandoned by a mermaid would never win the championship?"

The principal coughed lightly to quiet the students down. "Kael, a student from Class C of Grade 1, is the champion of this festival. Since the mermaid blessing can only be given to females, the boys in her group please go back to the dormitory to collect gifts of equal value."

"This year's Blue Sea Feast is about to end. The champion please follow me to receive the mermaid's blessing. Students can just enjoy the performance of the closing band. I spent a lot of money to get them to agree to perform."

The principal put down the microphone and said something in Kailu's ear. She looked very surprised and looked at the principal and then at Jiang Zao's leaving back. As if she had made a decision, she followed her and left.

Jiang Zao did not receive the so-called gift, but received a small note stuffed through the crack of the door, which read: "Kailu is dead."

Chapter 326: White-haired old mother is still needed to save the situation

Before Jiang Zao could open the door to see who had slipped the note into the room, the note turned into a spot of light and condensed into an arrow in the air pointing directly at the dormitory window.

Looking in the direction of the arrow, the window turned into a projection screen playing strange images.

On an isolated island rising slowly from the sea, the principal led a group of people in black robes and holding torches, surrounding Kailu in the center and moving towards the cliff. In the picture, she was wearing a white robe, walking with her white and tender feet bare, with a firm look in her eyes, like a devout martyr.

Starting from the bottom of the cliff, two men in black robes would stop every five meters, standing on both sides with torches that suddenly turned the color of sea water, like induction lights lighting up one by one in the dark night, sending Kael to the edge of the cliff.

Just this scene that looked like a cult sacrifice was enough to make Jiang Zao very uneasy, but the moment he saw the projection image, he became unable to move, even his eyes could not move, and he could only stand there and watch things unfold.

The principal was still dressed in a suit and tie, leading the way with a calm smile of victory on her face. When she reached the edge of the cliff, she looked at the dark sea under the night sky and asked without turning her head, "My child, are you ready to accept the true blessing of the mermaid?"

"Principal, can't you really let me say goodbye to him?" Kailu said as she looked back into the distance, her gaze seeming to want to penetrate the concept of "distance" to reach her beloved.

"Time is of the essence. We can't waste even a second. If we miss this opportunity, there won't be a second chance."

"But...can I really bring back real mermaids to the blue sea?"

"Of course you can, as long as you are willing to be the mermaid's...sacrifice." The principal faced the sea and shrugged her shoulders twice as if she was crying, so no one could see her expression at the moment, but the scene in front of Jiang Zao was facing her. There was no sadness on her face, and the corners of her grinning mouth were full of dark emotions called "malice".

The mermaid's blessing is fake, and even the claim of tricking Kael into reviving the mermaid is fake. The principal must be holding this festival with some unknown purpose.

The little tricks in the competition booth that deliberately let Kael get a high ranking must have been instigated by her behind the scenes, just to ensure that Kael is the champion this time. It seems that her plan must have reached the most critical step.

At this moment, Jiang Zao thought of the fourth incomplete rule: "Stop __, it's the source!"

If we fill in the word "festival" or "principal" and analyze it based on the picture he sees now, the latter is more likely.

The story in the picture continues, and Kailu shows a determined look on her face: "If...if the mermaid can make him live a better life, I am willing to be a sacrifice!"

"Very good! The entire blue ocean will remember your contribution, my child. Even if you can't come back, your story will be passed down from generation to generation."

"Principal... at the end of the mermaid legend, did the prince really rescue the princess?"

"Of course, just like the stories I've been telling you."

"I'm ready." Kailu walked to the edge of the cliff, sat down and dangled her legs in the air. She hummed a sad song softly. As the melody echoed on the sea, the principal slowly stepped back and left this space to her alone.

The whale condensed from sea water leaped high and swallowed Kaelu on the cliff in one gulp. Her singing stopped abruptly, and it was as if she had never existed. At the same time, the flames on both sides of the cliff burned more fiercely, even using the black-robed man holding the torch as fuel to ignite it.

The principal laughed crazily toward the sky: "Mermaid! Mermaid! I can finally resurrect you from the endless sea. Let me listen to your beautiful singing again, peel off your sapphire scales, take out your golden eyeballs, drink your sea-blue blood... and become a truly perfect woman!"

The image shattered in her crazy laughter, and Jiang Zao was able to move again. He punched the wall angrily: "Damn it, I knew that anyone who could make that kind of gesture couldn't be a good person."

The arrow of light pointed to the pillow on Kaylu's bed again. It was unclear whether the picture was a prophecy or something that had already happened. Jiang Zao ignored the arrow and rushed to the door to go out to find Kaylu. He turned the doorknob twice, and a strange message sounded in his mind.

[The door seemed to be fixed to the space, not moving at all.]

"Oh!"

Jiang Zao kicked the door in frustration, but it had no effect except that his feet hurt. He had no choice but to run to Kailu's bed and turned over the pillow. A piece of blood-stained white cloth and a pair of scissors appeared in front of him.

"..."

He closed his eyes, raised his head and took a deep breath, trying to distract his mind from the burning anger.

Calm down, calm down, think carefully about what other solutions there are... Since you can't open it from the inside, then call Xiaoxing over and try to open it from the outside. As a dormitory manager, it is impossible that she doesn't even have the authority to open the dormitory door.

Jiang Zao put the thing under the pillow into his pocket and pressed the call button. Almost instantly, Xiao Xing's footsteps, as steady and accurate as a precise machine, sounded from the corridor.

"Knock knock." There were two polite knocks on the door and then no more movement.

Jiang Zao knew she was behind the door and shouted, "Xiao Xing! Help me open the door, I want to get out!"

"But...it's already after lights out."

"What!? This is impossible!" He clearly remembered that he returned to the dormitory at around seven o'clock, so how could it be lights-out time in the blink of an eye?

Did time speed up when I was watching that projected image?

"I have a consent form for going out at night. Open the door quickly. I have something urgent to do!"

"So there is a consent form, no problem."

A crisp "click" sound was heard, and Xiao Xing opened the dormitory door easily. She opened her palm towards Jiang Zao and said, "Let me see the consent form first."

"for you!"

Xiao Xing took the consent form and scanned it with her blue eyes, then nodded and put it in her pocket: "The consent form is fine, I will stay with you for the whole night."

If it were any other day, Jiang Zao might have said a few sweet words, but now he had no such intention. He asked anxiously, "Xiao Xing, can you take me to the principal or directly to the place where I can receive the blessing of the mermaid?"

"Principal? Didn't she leave here five years ago? As for the mermaid blessing, I haven't heard of it."

The more questions he asked, just when Jiang Zao was about to ask her to take him directly to the principal's office, a familiar figure appeared downstairs of the dormitory building. It was the white-haired little girl who had first handed him the note. Now he could accurately say her name.

"Cocoro!!!"

Chapter 327: Do you think it’s a cliché story?

As if she heard Jiang Zao's shout, Kokoro stopped and looked upstairs, then just stood there as if waiting for him to come over.

He didn't hesitate at all and ran downstairs. Unexpectedly, he ran into a white ghost coming towards him at the first corner of the stairs. Fortunately, a sharp kitchen knife with a cold glow cut it in half in time, otherwise Jiang Zao might have been attacked and killed by the ghost according to the rules.

Jiang Zao paused for a moment, nodded gratefully to Xiao Xing, and then resumed his original pace. Under the protection of the two kitchen knives in her hands, he successfully came to Kokoro's side. He was so excited that he couldn't say anything for a while.

"I have been waiting for you for a long time...the challenger of the mystery."

He pinched his thigh hard with his nails to force himself to calm down, and asked her: "What does the puzzle challenger mean? Do you know where Kailu is?"

"She... found the same answer as previous challengers in her own way." A hint of disappointment flashed in Kokoro's light pink eyes: "So... I want to know your answer."

Jiang Zao understood that the person in front of him with the appearance of Kokoro was different from his girlfriends. She was a certain existence who was asking him questions through her appearance.

"I don't even know the question, how can I give you the answer?"

Kokoro's eyes lingered on his pockets containing the scissors and bed sheet: "Aren't you... already solving the problem?"

Is my question how to save Kael?

In other words, the answer she chose was wrong, or it was not the answer that this being wanted?

What do the scissors and bed sheet represent?

Jiang Zao's brain was working rapidly, recalling everything he had seen in the past two days, and finally his memory stopped at the fifth rule which had appeared not long ago.

He had indeed never seen blood in this world, except for the piece of cloth left by Kael. When he taught that rude kendo club leader a lesson, even though he beat him up so badly that his face was bruised and swollen, he didn't see any blood at all, even though his nose was kicked more than a dozen times.

This was obviously wrong. No matter how tough he was, it was impossible for him not to bleed from his nose.

If the bed sheet was to remind me of blood, what about the scissors?
