Chapter 28 : The Girl messes up every day

“Boom!”

The moment the blade pierced through the ghostly figure’s chest, the sound of bones shattering mixed with the crisp sound of growing ice crystals exploded in the corridor.

The immense force that pierced through the ghostly figure’s chest directly shattered the floor, causing the girl to fall to the next floor while stepping on it.

Dust rose, and the frost flowers spreading from the tip of the girl’s blade instantly froze the ghostly figure into an ice sculpture.
The frost flowers spread for more than ten meters along the pitch-black demon blood before stopping.

The sweet, fishy smell lingering in the air activated the girl’s snake-like thermal vision.
Countless pitch-black silhouettes were frantically proliferating within the load-bearing walls.

These ghostly figures seemed to be able to transform into an asphalt-like liquid substance and squeeze into all sorts of narrow crevices.
They could even hide in the crevices of reinforced concrete to proliferate.

“Twenty-seven…”

The girl silently counted the number of ghostly figures she had frozen into ice sculptures, the scales on her wrist opening and closing with the frequency of her breath.

Several newborn ghostly figures suddenly drilled out from the cracks in the wall.
The girl instantly spun and shattered the ice crystals.
The shattered ice shards turned into shotgun pellets and flew, then condensed into slender ice cones in the air, pinning the ghostly figures to the wall.

In an instant, the number of ghostly figures frozen into ice sculptures increased by five.

The girl slowly raised her head, revealing a pair of amber-gold vertical pupils hidden under her baseball cap and the scales that were gradually climbing up the corners of her eyes.

Even though the girl was self-taught and proficient at using demonic energy to fight, she was still a novice snake demon.
She couldn’t perfectly suppress the leaking demonic energy in the dual harsh environment of a full moon and intense combat.

Being able to control it in this half-human, half-demon state was already a blessing.

At least this way, the leaking demonic energy could still be covered by the demonic energy released by this Skin-Painter.
At this moment, there were at least a dozen Skin-Painter clones in this dormitory building.
The demonic energy they released was already so thick that it could affect the vision of ordinary people.

“This is endless…”

The girl wiped a trace of blood from the corner of her mouth and swung her blade to cut off a black tentacle that had stabbed at her horizontally.

She tried to control her heartbeat to 72 beats per minute, and the leaking demonic energy gradually retracted under her skin.

The severed black tentacle fell to the ground and wriggled, then instantly melted into mucus, from which another pitch-black ghostly figure crawled out.

She casually smashed the ice sculpture at her feet, and the shattered ice shards did not melt into black mucus.

Only by releasing her demonic energy could she completely kill these things.
Otherwise, every slash she made would cause them to split into new individuals.

“So troublesome…”

The girl suddenly dodged a tentacle that had pierced through the floor from below.
The tentacle had even pierced through two floors before stopping.

“I’ve seen this move before!”

The girl spun and slashed at the black tentacle.
The leaking demonic energy turned into frost flowers and instantly froze it, then shattered into a pile of ice shards.

“You think you can hit me with a move I’ve already seen?”

The girl shouldered her long saber and looked up, her amber-gold vertical pupils under the baseball cap coldly staring at the black ghostly figures standing on the floor above.

Suddenly, a piercing alarm and the sound of a crowd in commotion came from outside the window, mixed with the sound of someone using a megaphone to maintain the evacuation order.

The girl understood that the Demon Suppression Division had arrived.

“Looks like it’s time for me to make my exit.”
The girl raised her long saber, the tip pointing at the roaring black ghostly figures.

‘The people have already been evacuated by the Demon Suppression Division. Now, let the Demon Suppression Division deal with this guy.’

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred!

The sound of some kind of liquid surging flowed into her ear bones.
The surging sound gradually accumulated and suddenly twisted into a sound like a rising tide!

The ventilation duct made a twisting sound of being overloaded, and the creaking sound of metal fatigue was grating.

In an instant, a pitch-black, asphalt-like liquid spewed out from the ventilation duct, the cracks in the walls, and the half-closed dormitory doors, converging into a pitch-black tide in the corridor that instantly engulfed several pitch-black ghostly figures.

“Are you so attached to me?”

The pitch-black tide surged towards her.
The girl swung her blade down, and the blade, accompanied by the cold demonic energy, exploded in the corridor.

The instantly arriving low temperature condensed the moisture in the air into ice shards.
Frost flowers spread out from the tips of the girl’s toes, and in the blink of an eye, they had covered the entire corridor!

The ice shards were controlled by the girl and shattered the fire hydrant like shotgun pellets.
The gushing water column was instantly condensed into an ice wall by the frost flowers and collided with the tide!

The pitch-black ghostly figures surging in the tide were instantly frozen, maintaining a charging posture in the ice layer, then quickly melted.
The melted parts evaporated into a black mist that filled the vision.

Scales once again crawled up the girl’s collarbone.
She was only half a step away from complete demonization.

The girl spun and shattered the ice wall.
The splashing ice shards grew snake-bone-like branches in mid-air, pinning the pouncing black shadows to the wall.

And it was at this moment that the crisp sound of footsteps crushing ice shards came from the stairwell.
The only person who would appear in the stairwell at this time could only be a member of the Demon Suppression Division!

“Tsk, what a pity.”

The girl instantly retracted all her demonic energy, and the scales climbing up her neck quickly receded.

If that person from the Demon Suppression Division had been three minutes late, this pitch-black tide would have been completely frozen by her.

But that person had already arrived nearby, which meant that the girl could only retract all her demonic energy and rely on her most basic physical fitness to resist this pitch-black tide.

‘Otherwise, she would be discovered by the Demon Suppression Division!’

The black tide suddenly convulsed and contracted.
Thousands of bloodshot eyeballs emerged from the asphalt-like substance, turning in all directions.

‘This thing seems to be confirming who is in the stairwell?’

But the strange stalemate only lasted for less than three seconds, and the black tide instantly engulfed the remaining frost flowers.

The pitch-black tide then swept over like a fierce beast, crashing into the girl with a terrifying momentum that could almost swallow everything.

The girl held her blade vertically in front of her, cutting a space for herself in the pitch-black tide.
The blade that was in contact with the black tide was constantly trembling.

The immense force of the black tide shattered the steel bars of the load-bearing wall, and concrete fragments scraped a bloody mark on the girl’s waist.

Even though the demonic energy in her blood vessels was boiling to its limit, the girl in her human form was still unable to resist this tide.

But she couldn’t.
If she wanted to continue to stay at Lin’an University, the fact that she was a snake demon couldn’t be known by anyone.

The girl suddenly started to miss that night, to miss the feeling of omnipotence when she had fully revealed her true form, as comfortable as the moonlight caressing her skin.

The footsteps in the stairwell were getting closer and closer.

The girl suddenly loosened her hands and gave up her struggle with the pitch-black tide.

When it came to ways to make an exit, the girl had always been full of imagination.

‘That method was to be washed out of the dormitory building by this tide!’

The girl was actually quite afraid of pain, but the boiling demonic energy in her blood vessels stimulated hormone secretion.
In this state, she wouldn’t care about the pain at all.
The excitement brought by the battle went straight to her brain.

At this moment, she was practically a madman!

She turned her head and glanced behind her.
Behind her was the corridor window, which was the escape route she had just designed.

In this script, if everything went smoothly, she would be hit by this tide and fly out of the window the next second.

But she didn’t expect that the powerful force in the tide would wrap around the girl and suddenly make a turn towards the stairwell.

‘Holy crap! How can you even turn!’

“Splash—”

The centrifugal force of the turning tide threw the girl towards the corner of the stairwell.
In that instant, the girl suddenly felt that all was lost.

The boiling demonic energy in her blood vessels gradually cooled down.
She herself didn’t expect to mess up in a place like this.

“Bang!”

The girl felt her back hit something warm and broad.
The touch was familiar, as if…

‘It was Xu Zhi’s chest.’

“Boom!”

Under the immense impact of the tide, the two figures crashed through the outer wall of the stairwell and flew out, drawing a perfect parabola under the full moon.

Two seconds later, a heavy landing sound was heard, accompanied by the falling of shattered concrete blocks.

The moonlight pierced through the rising dust, casting the intertwined shadows of the two on the ground.

The girl lay on her back on the man’s chest, her vision filled with a rain of falling black liquid.

She didn’t feel any pain.
On the contrary, she felt that the meat cushion under her was warm and quite comfortable.

“Cough, cough…”

A familiar cough came from under her, startling the girl so much that the hair on her neck stood on end and her heart nearly skipped a beat.

Ignoring her attachment to the warm touch, the girl wanted to get up quickly, but the two arms wrapped around her chest were like iron hoops and she couldn’t break free.

“Let go!”

The two iron-hoop-like arms flattened the softness on the girl’s chest.
In the moonlight, a giant snake formed from the condensed black giant wave surged out of the outer wall and rushed down!

In her desperation, the girl could only stomp her foot hard on the ground.
The resulting reaction force sent the two flying, and they rolled several times before stopping.

And the spot where they had just been was now a big hole created by the black giant snake.
The water in the drainage system under the road was surging, and the pitch-black giant snake had drilled into the drainage pipe and disappeared.

“Cough, cough… sorry…”

The guy who had been a meat cushion under her coughed twice and let go of the girl.

The moonlight scraped past the broken outer wall of the dormitory building and fell on his face.
As expected, the one who had been a meat cushion under her was Xu Zhi.

‘Why is it him again?!’

‘Wait, now is not the time to think about this!’

The familiar scent of cedarwood drilled into her nasal cavity.
The girl scrambled away from the warm embrace as if her life depended on it.

” Are you okay?”

As she crawled out, she couldn’t help but care about Xu Zhi, who had been a meat cushion for her and had cushioned all the fall damage.

“Cough, cough… I’m fine. It’s a good thing I’m a sports student…”

Xu Zhi, who was still lying on the ground, coughed twice, as if he had caught his breath.

‘You’re a sports student my ass.’

The girl complained in her heart.
This person was clearly in the history major with her, and in the same class.

She really didn’t know what this guy was made of.
He had taken such a hard hit and had fallen from the building, and after panting for a couple of breaths, he was like he was fine.

Even for a member of the Demon Suppression Division, this physical fitness was a bit exaggerated, right? He was human!

Xu Zhi patted his butt and got up from the ground.
Just now in the stairwell, the moment he had seen the girl being washed out by the tide, he had opened his arms and hugged the girl, using his own body to cushion the impact for her.

“We meet again.”
Xu Zhi grinned, his white teeth flashing with a white light in the moonlight.

This carefree smile was exactly the same as when he was a child.

“It’s good that you’re okay. I’ll leave it to you!”

She only left Xu Zhi with a retreating figure fleeing in disarray under the moonlight.

“…”

Looking at the departing figure, Xu Zhi finally just sighed and looked down at his hand.
The faint scent of osmanthus from the girl seemed to still linger in his palm.

And a trace of residual warmth.
