The Puppeteer of Academy City

Chapter 102: 3 Changes in Zeju

"Yao? How did you find this place?" The first words of the best friend after meeting him were to ask her head and face.

"Huh?" Yuan Shanyao was taken aback, and murmured, "...I... just heard that Mei Lilu came here to study homework last time, so...you see, it's summer vacation, and I just have time..."

But it feels like the description is getting darker and darker. It doesn't seem like an explanation at all, but more like laughing at the other party, right?

Yuan Shanyao's voice became lower and lower, and he lowered his head, not daring to look into the other person's eyes.

At this time, she heard her friend sigh—in the past, every time she did something wrong and got into trouble, Meryl would sigh like this, and then tried her best to help herself solve the problem.

Yuan Shanyao suddenly raised his head, and looked at Meililu expectantly.

"Sorry, I've been quite nervous recently." Merylu took off her round-rimmed glasses, "I didn't mean to blame you, Haruka! It's just that you surprised me by running here alone."

"Uh...Am I just so uneasy? Obviously I am also a high school student!" Yuan Shanyao couldn't help defending herself, but recalling that not long ago, she was still troubled by the earthwork guard to lead the way to find this place, her voice became more and more serious lower.

"You, when will you mature..." Mei Lilu said in an elder tone, "Forget it, did you come to play with me today?"

"No, I just want to have lunch with you..." Toyama Haruka said, "After all, I can't hinder Meililu's studies."

"Well, that kind of thing is fine!" Merylu who took off her glasses seemed to have recovered her true colors, and waved her hands nonchalantly, "Tell me first, what happened last night? Why did you suddenly want to come here?" My family stayed overnight? Then why was it canceled?"

Mei Lilu suddenly approached, using her height advantage to press Yuan Shanyao's body, her eyes were full of suspicion and curiosity, and she asked aggressively.

"Huh?" Yuan Shanyao suddenly panicked, "This..."

Just when she didn't know how to explain it, Mei Lilu suddenly took a step back and let her go.

"Sure enough there is a problem!" Mei Lilu hugged the books and stationery in her arms tightly, the pencil case sank deeply into the gully of her chest, and she pointed at her friend with one free hand, with a smirk on her face, "I will definitely let you Tell me the truth!"

As she said that, she handed the books and stationery to Yuan Shanyao: "Help me get it, I'm going to ask the teacher for leave, I won't be in class this afternoon!"

Without waiting for Haruka Yuanshan to react, Meililu stepped forward with her long legs, turned around and rushed into the teaching building of Sanze School.

It seems that today I have enough time to be with Meryl! Yuan Shanyao is full of joy, but this curious friend will definitely ask about what happened last night... How should I explain it?

Yuan Shanyao has a headache, she is not good at lying, and she is not willing to deceive her best friend. But... staying in the dormitory of boys in the same class by myself will definitely surprise Meryl, right? After all, this is completely out of character. Maybe she'd panic and tell her parents—that would make it even more troublesome!

Yuan Shanyao is just introverted and simple, but he is by no means stupid. She is also very clear about what kind of associations others will have when telling about last night's experience... Even if she is not alone in the room with the lonely man and widow of Xingye - and the monitor, Shiranui, is also there!

However, it seems to be even worse to say it this way...

So Yuan Shanyao didn't know how to explain it.

Just so hesitant, Yuanshan Haruka wandered back and forth at the gate of Sanze School with his friend's books and stationery, waiting for Meililu to come back.

However, there was no sign of my friend for a long time.

Yuan Shanyao couldn't help looking into the teaching building, but found that there was no one in the spacious hall. Not only that, she suddenly realized that besides herself, there was no other person around!

Unknowingly, the students who were bustling in and out just now all disappeared, and I don't know where they all went.

Yuan Shanyao even wondered if it was time for class again?

She took out her phone again to check the time. Then I suddenly felt that I had forgotten something important and needed to go back and deal with it quickly.

So she turned around and walked back, even trotting all the way because of her eagerness.

The books held in his arms are somewhat in the way. Yuan Shanyao had to stop and pick up the luggage again.

"Huh? Why am I holding these? Where's my schoolbag?" She froze for a moment, then realized that it wasn't her textbook.

Open a book and see Merrill's name on the name column on the title page.

Yuan Shanyao suddenly remembered: "Yes, this is something for Meililu! I came to see Meililu, she said she was going to ask for leave... why did she suddenly forget?"

While muttering to herself, Yuan Shanyao turned back and walked towards the teaching building, she wanted to go in to find Mei Lilu.

Suddenly, her footsteps stopped suddenly, and in her "vision", she saw such a scene - she was running away, running away from Sanze School!

Not just running, but running away! There seemed to be something terrible chasing her behind her!

Yuan Shanyao couldn't see what danger was happening, but she immediately realized that she was in danger!

She can only foresee the future for a maximum of 150 seconds, and when she is in turmoil, this range may only be the lower limit of 30 seconds.

Therefore, Yuan Shanyao didn't have time to think about it, so he turned and ran.

In her "vision" ~lightnovelpub.net~ she kept running, and at a certain moment, there was only darkness in front of her eyes.

this means

His own consciousness is interrupted, is it fainting or death? Yuan Shanyao couldn't judge, but the fateful sense of powerlessness had already defeated the girl's psychological defense.

She stopped in a daze, wondering if there was any point in continuing to run.

boom!

Yuan Shanyao, who slowed down, bumped into something, and there was nothing in front of him.

Following her collision, there was an unnatural ripple in the air, and the distortion of the air vaguely outlined the outline of a human body.

"Optical invisibility?" Yuan Shanyao suddenly understood why he couldn't see the murderer even with his own abilities. Because her ability to foresee the future can only be achieved by relying on the five senses. If things are invisible to the naked eye, even if she uses her ability, she still cannot see them.

"What are you running? What do you see?" The invisible man's voice was deep and metallic, his tone was smooth and rigid, with an unnatural feeling of speaking through a cheap voice changer.

"No, I didn't see anything!" Yuan Shanyao opened his mouth, but couldn't speak because of nervousness and fear.

"Forget it, anyway, those who can resist the effect of 'repelling idlers' must not be ordinary people." The invisible man said.

Then he raised his hand and touched the girl's neck with his fingertips.

With a sizzling sound and a flash of lightning, Yuan Shanyao suddenly lost consciousness and fell to the ground in a faint.
