“Uh…”
The System really wanted to say, “Don’t be so pessimistic,” but seeing Yuan Yu’s excited expression, it silently closed its mouth.
She had been overthinking; this guy wasn’t scared at all!
What on earth was he thinking?
Screech~
The sudden sound of a door opening made Yuan Yu’s eyes narrow. He quickly pulled a silver-white pistol from his pocket and aimed it at the half-open doorway.
“Calm down, it’s me…”
“?”
Yuan Yu looked at the System, which had just spoken, with confusion. Just then, a swaying, petite figure walked in. She moved eerily, like a marionette, and her eyes were tightly shut.
Yuan Yu scrutinized the figure, looking at the System with some surprise.
“That little sister? Is she sleepwalking?”
“I controlled her to come here. Don’t look at her as weak; she and I are one. Now I need to use the remaining power, so I must become whole again.”
The System glanced at Yuan Yu and walked towards the closed-eyed Yuan Yuan. The moment it made contact, it directly merged into her.
Yuan Yuan’s closed eyes suddenly opened, and her crimson pupils glowed faintly.
After stretching her body, she looked at Yuan Yu.
“Let’s begin. My deductions will be based on your understanding, so you need to constantly add details in your mind. At the same time, you must focus on condensing the Source Card.
Finally! No matter what happens, you must condense at least one Character Card, because even if you can’t defeat them later, you can directly merge with the Card creature summoned by the Character Card. With double the power, your chances of escaping will be much higher!”
“…”
Yuan Yu had originally wanted to comfort the System a few words, telling her not to worry so much.
However, before he could speak, his thoughts were drawn by an inexplicable force, and familiar or unfamiliar scenes began to appear in his mind.
It started?
It didn’t feel like much…
Yuan Yu saw that the System seemed very anxious, so he could only suppress the doubts in his heart for now. He calmed down and recalled various details in his mind, while also condensing the Source Card.
Fine purple patterns continuously spread across the Card, and a hazy image gradually emerged.
In just a few minutes, the light on the Card had completely faded, indicating that the Source Card had been condensed.
Yuan Yu opened his eyes, a hint of daze flashing within them. His head felt a strange throbbing pain, but when he focused, there was no sensation at all. He lowered his head, looking at the Source Card in his hand with some confusion.
“…How could it be so fast? I didn’t even feel any consumption of Spiritual Power?”
“Where do you think your Spiritual Power was mainly consumed before? It was all spent on deducing fantasies into worlds! Condensing Cards doesn’t consume much at all!
Now, I’m doing all the work for the deduction, so naturally, there’s no consumption for you.”
The System stood with her arms crossed, leaning against the wall, completely unchanged.
Yuan Yu looked at her rosy complexion and felt like he had been deceived again. He gritted his teeth and said,
“How are you still alive? Didn’t you run out of energy?”
“Ah?”
Yuan Yuan was stunned for a moment, looking at Yuan Yu with disbelief. She had put in so much effort, and this guy actually wanted her to die!
Once the process was complete, she would definitely make this guy understand why flowers are so red!
At this moment, a bloody light suddenly shone through the window, and a piercing alarm blared throughout the entire villa.
“The main door has been broken! How could it be so fast!”
Yuan Yu frowned. Just as he was about to get up and check, Yuan Yuan pressed him back into the chair.
“Keep going! Don’t stop! Going out now would only be suicide. Only by condensing a Character Card can you gain more power!”
Suicide?
It seemed the System didn’t understand his experiences in this world as much as he thought…
Yuan Yu blinked, looking at the System’s serious face, and still nodded, storing the Source Card in his mind.
The vast Spiritual Power that had originally filled his mind was now almost gone. The remaining bits surged forward, continuously absorbed by the Source Card, and finally, a blank white-bordered Card split off and appeared in his hand.
“Only white quality? Forget it, white it is.
White quality corresponds to ordinary people. In Honkai, who was strong when they were an ordinary person?”
Yuan Yu held the blank Card, continuously thinking about various characters in his mind.
Tap~
Tap~
The sound of high heels tapping on the floor suddenly came from the corridor outside, making Yuan Yu no longer hesitate and instantly make a choice. The strongest ordinary person—
“Kevin!”
As his thought settled, a white-haired young man with a smile, carrying a baseball bat, slowly outlined himself on the Card.
“So slow!”
Yuan Yu raised an eyebrow, looking at the Card gradually taking shape in his hand.
The System beside him had already held her breath and retreated to the corner. Yuan Yu also held up his gun and moved closer.
Suddenly, the sound of high heels stepping on the ground disappeared at the doorway, and the surroundings fell into an eerie silence.
“Yuan Yu, where are you? Teacher is here for a home visit~ Are you in here?”
A playful voice suddenly rang out from outside the door, accompanied by the turning of the doorknob. Yuan Yu aimed his gun at the doorway, ready to shoot as soon as a head appeared, but the door didn’t open!
“Oh~ No one here?”
The doorknob turned a few times and then stopped. Yuan Yu was a bit confused, wondering when it had been locked.
Suddenly, the corner of his eye caught the System looking up with a smug smile, and he instantly understood what was going on.
Screech!
He was mentally praising this good habit of locking the door casually when a piercing sound came from the doorway.
The metal door was torn open by a sharp claw, creating a slit, and an eye with a hint of bloodlust peered in through the crack.
“I found you~ Yuan! Yu! Classmate! Hehehe~”
Bang!
Bang!
Yuan Yu raised his hand and fired two shots.
Two glowing bullets shot out from the crack, and the eye disappeared, but the seductive voice from outside the door continued to ring out, as if completely unaffected.
“Naughty, naughty~ Let Teacher give you a good lesson~”
Screech!
Screech!
More and more cracks continuously appeared on the door, and pieces kept falling off, gradually revealing a half-meter-wide hole.
A head, like that of an alien, poked out from there, staring greedily at Yuan Yu. This bizarre sight directly startled Yuan Yu.
“Damn it! Teacher Tang, is this your Character Card? You’re too ugly! If it were me, I’d be too embarrassed to use it! It’s too cheap!”
Yuan Yu cursed and quickly fired continuously at the monster’s head.
Bang!
Bang!
…
Click~
Click~
His bullets were all used up, but the monster merely shook slightly, and all the bullets grazed its body and shot behind it, leaving palm-sized holes in the wall.
It seemed to know Yuan Yu was out of bullets. Its ferocious maw opened wide, and it crawled directly through the hole, charging towards Yuan Yu.
A huge claw lifted high, poised to strike Yuan Yu’s head, who was cornered with nowhere to retreat.
Just then, a hand grabbed its claw. The immense force prevented its claw from moving even an inch.
“Teacher Tang, I’m so scared!”
Yuan Yu blinked, a smile on his face, looking at the seemingly bewildered monster in front of him. His five fingers, like iron tongs, gradually closed.
Crack~
Crack~
The monster’s arm was quickly crushed and deformed. As its other claw lifted, Yuan Yu directly kicked it off its arm, sending it flying out of the room and embedding it into the opposite wall.
“Hehe, Teacher Tang, you still need to practice~”
Yuan Yu revealed a playful smile, tossing the torn-off broken arm in his hand, then flung it out, impaling it directly onto the monster’s body.
The System was completely stunned by this scene. What kind of monstrous strength was this?
He could actually tear a monster apart with his bare hands!
Then wouldn’t she be unable to make Yuan Yu understand why flowers are so red!
At this moment, the System’s pupils constricted as if she sensed something.
Perfect timing!
A hint of excitement flashed deep in her eyes.
Then, her figure quickly lunged behind Yuan Yu, shouting loudly at the same time.
“Careful!”
The System’s alarmed cry and a strong smell of blood suddenly came from behind. Yuan Yu, who was about to go up and check on Teacher Tang’s “corpse,” spun around abruptly.
He saw a bloody claw extending from the air, brutally stabbing into Yuan Yuan, who had lunged from the side. The splashing blood made his eyes widen abruptly.
Damn it! It’s invisibility! Was this the real killing move?! To deal with a newly awakened student, they would even resort to such tricks!
“Kevin!”
Yuan Yu quickly retreated, clutching the System who had flown back into his arms, and simultaneously threw out the Card that had finally condensed into shape.
The Card shattered, and a smiling white-haired young man with a baseball bat appeared in the room.
“Holy crap!”
Just as he was about to say something, Kevin saw the bloody, ferocious monster in front of him. Startled, he immediately swung his baseball bat at it.
Clang~
The baseball bat landed on the monster’s head with a crisp sound, and the immense force made the monster’s head violently snap to the side.
Before it could even react, the baseball bat continued to rain down, making clang, clang, clang sounds.
Soon, its head was smashed, cracked, and deformed, finally collapsing limply to the ground.
Its grotesque form gradually receded, revealing Tang Ying, her face covered in blood.
“Phew~ What a terrifying monster! Brother, are you alright!”
Kevin wiped away non-existent sweat from his forehead. Seeing the monster finally fall, he let out a sigh of relief. A sunny smile appeared on his face as he rested the blood-stained baseball bat on his shoulder and looked at Yuan Yu behind him.
“I’m fine, thank you. Please check the entire house. All living things… kill them all!”
“…No problem, leave it to me!”
Kevin’s expression tightened slightly. All living things?
Cockroaches? Mosquitoes?
What a huge challenge!
With resolute eyes, he grabbed his baseball bat and rushed out of the room, beginning a carpet search.
After Kevin left, Yuan Yu held the System, who was curled into a ball, his heart surging with anger, but more than that, with anger at himself.
He clearly had the power, clearly could easily solve everything!
But he just had to mess around!
Whether it was the previous world or this one, it was always like this…
It was fine if he screwed himself over, but this time he even implicated someone else…
He wanted to ask the System how she was, but found his mouth dry and unable to make a sound.
“…”
The System’s eyes opened a tiny slit. Seeing Yuan Yu seemed to be in a daze, she let out a weak groan.
“It hurts so much…”
Yuan Yu’s heart jolted, and he snapped back to reality.
He opened the hand that was holding the System, and his palm was a startling crimson.
“Just hold on a little longer. I’ll take you to get treated!”
Yuan Yu said this hoarsely. Finally, he carefully picked up the System’s curled body and quickly walked out. As he passed the fallen Tang Ying, he gave her a cold glance.
The more he looked, the angrier he got. He directly stomped on her deformed head.
Crack~
Thud~
With one stomp, that heavily scarred head burst open like a water-filled balloon, blood mixed with a pile of strange things splattering everywhere.
After pulling his foot out of the mess, Yuan Yu didn’t care about the bloody footprints left on the floor and quickly headed towards his own room.
