Chapter 29: Eating Too Many Red Beans
As soon as the words fell, Sumu’s previously severed connection suddenly reestablished with her, delivering the terrible sensations to her mind, causing her to shiver all over.
A slippery tentacle was trying to creep inside through the gap of her clothes, brushing against her skin and driving her nerves wild.
Sumu’s eyes widened in alarm.
This is bad, there really is a Siren trying to get me!
Fortunately, she was wearing a hoodie and long pants, which made it more difficult for those tentacles to navigate.
If she had been in a skirt, just getting teased would have exposed her most private parts to others.
Seeing Sumu’s sudden change in expression, Irina’s previously relaxed tone became serious.
“Do as I say, close your eyes first.”
Sumu hesitated for a moment but instinctively followed the command without daring to delay.
For some reason, the presence of the person in front of her gave her an unusual sense of security.
“Silently chant in your heart, I am—Genius Girl Irina.”
To be honest, that prefix was already sweet enough just reading it online; silently chanting it felt awkward enough—did she really have to add it?
However, there was no time to waste; she could sense the restless tentacles creeping closer to the inner thigh.
Sumu lowered her head, silently chanting Irina’s words, and in the next moment, her perspective shifted from the darkness of her eyes to a strange angle.
She could see through the barrier the familiar pink-haired girl with her eyes tightly closed, a tense look on her face with her hands behind her back, and a wide brim obscuring part of her view.
It was Irina’s perspective.
The uncomfortable sensations were also cut off, but Sumu lost control of her body and could only watch as a bystander.
This feels a bit ominous…
The current situation resembled a plot from a novel, where the protagonist, who always thought they were normal, was overtaken by a buried dark persona, gaining unfathomable power or motivation.
But Sumu didn’t believe she would mysteriously have a split personality; she was sure her mental state had always been healthy.
Who exactly are you…
“Don’t get hung up on who I am; just remember, call for me when you need me.”
Irina’s voice suddenly resonated, answering the doubts in Sumu’s heart, giving her a start.
Oh no, she can hear my thoughts—Haki Mi Haki Ba Haki…
“Stop messing around; rambling in your heart will distress me too.”
Um, sorry.
———————————
The alarm’s buzzing sound echoed throughout the campus, but almost no one was in a panic fleeing outside.
They sat in the classroom as usual, straightening their backs, their gazes turned in unison towards the same direction, accurately locking onto that enchanting figure despite countless walls in between.
But at this moment, Ning Xi had no interest in anyone other than Sumu; she continued to control the invisible tentacles, yearning to further study this intoxicating prey.
On the surface, she seemed like an ordinary rookie magical girl, but Ning Xi sensed a sweet aroma from her that was even more thrilling than Lu Shan, causing her core to tremble.
Ning Xi extended her tongue to lick her red lips.
It was unsatisfactory; even capturing Sumu, her heart still burned with an unquenchable desire, craving to devour the prey on the spot.
Yet she had to suppress this ill-timed agitation for now.
A magical girl was on her way, the frightening one who had blocked her last time.
She couldn’t confront her here; otherwise, she’d miss the opportunity for satisfaction.
For ordinary people, restraining their desires would only lead to momentary distraction, but Ning Xi displayed a suffocating expression, her face flushing, her eyes dull, and her dominant aura was abruptly diminished by half.
After a moment, some clarity arose from the depths of Ning Xi’s pupils, and she became agile once more.
Frowning, she sensed where L was, and decisively tightened her grip on Sumu, preparing to fly in the opposite direction of L.
As long as she concealed the monster-like aura and hid in the complex alleys like last time, no magical girl or combatant could possibly find her.
But just as she was about to push off the ground, her body suddenly stiffened.
The tentacles, obediently loosening, gently set down the previously tightly bound subject, and then, like a startled water snake, hurriedly retreated behind Ning Xi.
“Pretty arrogant, aren’t you, Siren.”
Cold sweat began to trickle down Ning Xi’s forehead, only to be shocked into stopping its flow by the presence of the person before her.
She couldn’t move, not even a finger.
The desires in her heart had receded like a tide, replaced by fear of the unknown.
Irina instinctively reached to adjust her hat, only to grasp at nothing and chuckle lightly. Suddenly, a dark purple glow surged from her fingers, beginning to gather above her head into the shape of a witch’s hat.
But realizing that L would arrive at the battlefield in thirty seconds, her delicate fingers released, allowing those formless dark magic powers to dissipate without pity.
“Don’t be nervous; being nervous is useless. You, a small fry, just need to lie on the chopping board while I have much more to consider, such as where to start dealing with you—”
Ning Xi, tightly locked on by Irina’s silver-gray gaze, felt her magic core wailing in despair, like a small official who had accidentally bumped into the disguised emperor, beginning to cry uncontrollably.
What is going on… Who exactly is this woman?!
“Tch, too bad. There’s no time for this; just hurry up and get lost.”
Irina’s expression became severe as she firmly grasped Ning Xi’s frail neck and then threw her heavily towards the doorway of the classroom.
Unfortunately, even enhanced by dark magic, Sumu’s strength was still hopeless, and Ning Xi couldn’t fly straight to the door but rather unluckily crashed into a wooden chair, curling up in pain.
In the next moment, Irina’s monotonous gaze was once again infused with the sky’s brilliant blue hue.
Feeling as though all her strength had been drained, Sumu slumped back into her chair. As the dark magic receded, a wave of weakness poured in from her limbs and bones.
After a moment of daze, she regained her senses and attempted to pick up the magic storage device on the floor, but a pure white figure swiftly passed by her side, creating a gust of wind.
As Ning Xi struggled to rise, a shiny military dagger was placed against her neck.
“Don’t move, or you’ll die.”
L’s tone was not a threat but rather a statement of fact. Upon hearing this, Ning Xi forced a bitter smile, cautiously glanced at Sumu, and then retracted her magic.
However, arriving almost simultaneously was a certain suited man who had previously made an appearance.
“Hello, Miss L, we meet again. May I ask if you can hand over this monster to us for disposal?”
007 landed skillfully, straightened his collar, and casually made this remark.
L frowned at him, hesitating, when suddenly she heard Tang Nai’s voice in her ear.
“Don’t let him think for a second. They’ve had three chances to handle the situation and still messed it up. I’d say the Combat Department must have had enough red beans as well—get him out of here. If he doesn’t comply, treat him like a monster.”
A faint smile appeared on L’s lips, and at that moment, the words of that dead rabbit were indeed pleasing to her.
“Understood.”
