Survive in Azure Files

I think Saori must have had some compelling reason and was forced to accept Beatrice's orders. In fact, maybe she was also influenced by my personal charm and even began to have special feelings for me, so she came to save me at all costs.

Saori wears a mask every day, maybe to hide the fact that she blushes every time she sees me because of the heartbeat!

"You're fine."

After saying that, Saori turned around, raised her gun and shot.

Taoi, Midori, and Yuzu also launched a counterattack towards the doll that was dangling on the pinball.

Looking at Saori's graceful back, and recalling her cold beauty under the mask, I immediately made up my mind that one day, I would definitely rescue Saori from Beatrice's clutches.

Of course the main reason is that I believe that Saori and I care more about my safety than she does. Even if there are other reasons, our friendship can barely be called a close one.

Then, I looked at the other girl who was holding the electromagnetic gun but had not yet pulled the trigger. She was looking at me worriedly and hesitantly, as if waiting for instructions:

"Alice, cover my retreat."

"Yes, Alice knows."

After that, accompanied by the robot girl, I left the front line where the fighting was the most intense, and prepared to remotely command the students in the battle.

But before that, I have one more thing to do.

I said to the white-haired girl in the projection beside me, "Himari, help me find out the information about this doll."

"Ah la ah la?"

Himari raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Didn't you know? Shiro was once one of the most popular mascots of Utopia Theme Park."

I had a slight impression, touched my nose, and was embarrassed and speechless. As for the information before the mission site was abandoned, I was mainly focused on the plan against Alice, so I only glanced through it roughly and didn't pay much attention to it, otherwise I should have been able to recognize it easily.

However, seeing that I knew I was in the wrong and didn't say anything, Riju took advantage of the situation and continued to attack:

"By the way, whether it's the frost on the top of the snowy mountain or the dirty water in the sewer, at least they know where they are. Haha~ Maybe only the recycled water that is not completely treated would not know this, right? No, or is it focusing on something else? What do you think, teacher?"

In fact, when I saw Himari attacking Liyin before, as a bystander, I found it quite funny.

But now that I have become the target of attack, I am not so happy about it anymore.

For a moment, I even felt some subtle empathy for Liyin, until I remembered that Liyin was also quite aggressive and had scolded me quite harshly before...

Suddenly I felt that I shouldn't have deliberately downplayed the seriousness of the matter in order to prevent Liyin Himari Nero from developing too much hostility towards Alice when I was in the conference room.

At that time, I only said that if I didn't have the trump card, I might be seriously injured; I didn't tell them that the trump card could only be used once and had been completely destroyed by Kay's attack that was enough to be fatal to me.

If I tell this fact to Hinami, who is currently being sarcastic towards me, her expression will surely become quite interesting.

When I thought of this, I immediately took out my phone and opened the chat window with Himari——

Then I sent her a selfie that showed off my handsomeness.

I find it disgusting that people use their own experiences to gain sympathy.

I feel it would be better to just buy it off directly.

In the projection, Himari was staring at the phone with a frozen expression, and then his fingers were pressing rapidly.

Himari: What do you mean? Who do you think I am?

Himari: How can one be enough?

Hinami: Give me a little more, and this super talented and pure beautiful girl will forgive you.

Maybe this is the unique purity of Kiwotos.

Me: Go back and take more photos.

Riju: It’s a deal. Don’t regret it.

Then, the Himari in the projection showed a gentle smile:

"Teacher, is there anything else you want to know? Please feel free to ask~"

I couldn't help laughing, and Alice, who had seemed a little frightened because she sensed the bad atmosphere, also breathed a sigh of relief.

However, just as I was about to ask Hinami for information on other "mascots", I suddenly heard a rapidly approaching rolling sound.

And the exclamation from Tao Jing:

"Teacher! Watch out for the ball!"

Chapter 129: I'm too handsome

I turned my head, my pupils suddenly constricted, my hair stood on end, and I broke out in a cold sweat.

I saw a giant white rolling ball, about two or three meters high, rushing towards me with an irresistible momentum. It was almost in front of me, and the shadow it cast almost completely covered me.

Even though Alona would offset and deflect the impact for me this time, I still couldn't completely suppress the subconscious fear brought about by the visual shock.

But soon, a short and frail figure flashed into my sight and resolutely blocked my way:

"I will never let you hurt the teacher!"

"Wait a minute, shouldn't this be my line?" Alona couldn't help but speak as she was preparing for the impact.

The girl, who seemed so tiny compared to the ball, tightly grasped the sword of light as big as her in both hands, shouted loudly, seized the opportunity, and swung it diagonally upwards.

The bionic man possessed a tremendous force comparable to that of an engineering machine. Using an electromagnetic cannon made of the most advanced special alloy as a carrier, it was transmitted to the aggressive rolling ball, abruptly offsetting the original momentum...

Even more than that!

The remaining force that had not yet been exhausted gave the ball a vector that was almost completely opposite to the original one, and it flew in the direction it came from at a faster speed and with greater force than before.

As the girls and I watched in astonishment, the ball drew a graceful curve in the air and slammed heavily onto the body of the doll Bai, who had just thrown a few bombs and was laughing secretly with his head down.

Bai was caught off guard and suffered the consequences. He stumbled, but Saori, Momoi and the others would naturally not miss this good opportunity. They launched a more fierce attack on Bai, causing it to lose balance and fall heavily to the ground.

Alice, who not only obeyed the instructions and did not fire the Sword of Light but also took the initiative to protect me and achieved important results, turned around, stared at me with her big watery eyes, and a bright smile was spread on her upturned little face.

Even though she didn't say anything, her desire for praise was fully conveyed to me.

This timing... is perfect for AL-1S.

"Alice is amazing, you are worthy of being a hero. Thank you."

So I smiled back as gently as I could and rubbed Alice's head.

She narrowed her eyes and showed an expression of enjoyment.

At this moment, I caught a glimpse of Riju curling her lips, as if she wanted to say something. I also knew that she wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing.

From this we can see that, rather than just enjoying the pleasure of talking, Riju is more attracted by my beauty, and he is really into it.

On the other side, the severely injured Bai hurriedly climbed up under the cover of the pinball, then leaped twice flexibly and jumped back to the city wall at an astonishing speed, and finally disappeared into the night.

Seeing that Shiro was running too fast to be pursued, the girls who had been fighting her head-on returned to my side.

"Teacher, are you okay?" Tao Jing came over first, "It was a close call just now!"

Green didn't even bother to correct her sister for using the wrong idiom again, and nodded repeatedly beside her: "Thanks to Alice-chan, otherwise the teacher would be in danger."

Yuzu looked at her companions worriedly, "Alice-chan, are you okay too?"

"Yes!" Alice nodded heavily and answered energetically, "Alice and the Sword of Light both have 100% HP!"

After confirming that their crush and their companions were all in good condition, the girls all breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to chatter about what had just happened. Their tone was both excited and frightened, and they were amazed that in the Land of Lost Paradise, there actually existed dolls that would actively attack people and were obviously quite powerful, just as the urban legend said.

Himari also joined in their discussion with great interest.

Saori and I were watching from the sidelines, and our eyes met by chance. When Saori saw me smiling and nodding at her, she lowered the brim of her hat, as if she was a little shy.

Alas, it must be because I am too handsome that she became like this.

I waited for the girls' heated discussion to return to normal, then continued:

"Then let us move on."

"Varied……"

Himari was stunned for a moment, and immediately raised his eyebrows, and said in a questioning and mocking tone: "Oh, oh, what's wrong, my good teacher? You have personally encountered an abandoned doll that can throw bombs and rolling balls. Isn't the information you have collected enough?"

"We need to conduct a comparison. What if the same situation occurs with other dolls?"

I looked into her projected eyes calmly: "Besides, there is still plenty of time now."

"You were the one who said it was late, right?"

Although the others around us didn't know the real reason, they could at least vaguely sense the tension between me and Himari.

Saori was tense and waiting for my instructions. The girls in the game development department looked nervous and did not dare to intervene rashly.

The look in Himari's eyes when he looked at me became increasingly cold, and after a while he shook his head:

"Forget it, you are the commander of the operation."

At least she tried to control herself, both in words and actions. And, to be fair, I also felt that what I did was not very authentic.

I know that every temptation to those close to you is a blow to the trust between each other.

From my heart, perhaps as Alona said, I really don’t want anyone to get hurt because of this.

But if I don’t test it, how can I know if the other person is really close to me?

As a student of Kivotos, Hinami, who didn't understand my situation, ultimately couldn't understand the pain that I couldn't express to others.

However, this time it was not only to test Alice, but also to avoid revealing any flaws to the master.

Anyway, with Himari's concession, we set out again, passed through the passage connecting the two areas, and went directly to the square of the next area, which was near another location marked for me by the master.

The other doll, which was wearing a top hat, a Gothic princess dress, holding a magic wand, and had wings and a beak, was called "Black" according to Himari. Surrounded by countless crows that were probably also dolls, it slowly landed in front of us and, like Shiro, launched an attack.

Its fighting style is consistent with its attire, which is to control crows and even amusement facilities. However, it takes longer to repel it than Bai.

I saw Hei falling to the ground helplessly, and then being carried away by a flock of crows.

Until now, Alice has not shown any abnormality, even though she has had countless opportunities.

A strong sense of relief and joy surged into my heart.

Finally, it can be over. This way, I can finally...

Suddenly, my slightly hazy peripheral vision caught a familiar purple-red light.

Then, I turned my head suddenly and felt like I was falling into an ice cellar.

I saw.

A follower in motion.

Chapter 130: Nameless Key Annihilation War

Followers, the basic component of the Inexplicable Army (Division), the soldiers commanded by AL-1S.

Aren't they all in the ruins? Why are they in a place like this?

As soon as this doubt arose in my mind, I came up with a reasonable answer -

C&C.

After Liyin dispatched almost all the C&Cs to my side to protect my safety, the original tight surveillance network was likely to have loopholes, and some fish slipped through the net.

Maybe it's for some other reason, but at least it makes sense.

In any case, the most important issue now is not here.

What role does Alice play in this?

Could it be that Alice... no, AL-1S, has been waiting for her followers to appear for the reason of not taking action yet?

When I turned my head, I found that Alice was staring at the follower, as if in a trance, and even took a step forward.

Suspicion instantly reached its peak.

"Alice," I said coldly, "Put the sword of light on the ground."

"Eh? What's wrong?"

Seeing Alice looking at me in confusion, I became even more annoyed.

"Don't ask so many questions, just do it."
