Chapter 424 The Herrscher Returns to the World

"Hululu..."

"Kiana?"

"Snoring, snoring..."

"Kiana!"

"Snoring, snoring, snoring..."

"Kiana! We're at school!"

Mei shook it three times but failed to wake up Kiana who was lying in the back seat having sex. Mikael laughed and turned to look out the window at the constant traffic. Xier unbuckled the passenger seat belt and carried her schoolbag, undecided whether to get out of the car now.

"Alas... To deal with the idiot Kiana, sister Mei, your method is useless!"

Bronya stretched out her hands to Kiana's ears and slapped her hard:

"Crack!"

"Ah - Bronya... oh, you scared me to death..."

"Idiot Kiana, who asked you to catch up on your sleep in the car and still not wake up?"

"Then can't you be gentle like Mei?"

"Do you think Sister Mei still needs me if she can wake you up?"

"Hehehe..."

Mikael smiled and patted the steering wheel, "Okay, we don't have enough time, you'd better get out of the car quickly."

"Hmph! I heard no Bronya, for the sake of Uncle Mikael, I will spare you this time!"

"Idiot Kiana, you never win an argument anyway, and...did you just call Mikael 'uncle' again?"

"ah?"

Kiana turned her head mechanically, and saw Mikael's neck crackling until his head turned 180 degrees, and then he gave her a bright and unusual smile.

"Ahhhhhhhh-help!!!!"

…………

Bronya and Xier met Sister Arlene on the way and left first. Kiana wanted to follow Mei Yi into the classroom, but Mei Yi smiled and shook her head.

When a person walks into the classroom, the closer he gets to his seat, the more Meiyi feels a sense of resistance from the bottom of his heart. It's not fear or disgust, it's like the repulsion between the same electric charges.

But this is already very good, and it has improved a lot compared to before.

There was a time before that whenever she was near the streets around the school, her whole body would tremble inexplicably. It's ridiculous to think about it. This kind of rejection didn't happen in the first few days. On the contrary, this kind of rejection appeared after I calmed down.

At first, she even needed Kiana to hold her hand tightly and lead her to her seat. But after more than half a month of winter vacation, she was able to get here alone today.

"finally……"

Walking to the seat, pulling out the stool, Mei Yi took a deep breath, gritted her teeth and sat down.

As for the other students, they will no longer talk to Mei Yi, and they don't dare to talk to Mei Yi anymore. It seems that everyone has agreed in advance to ignore Mei Lei.

This is how a whole day of boring classes begins. Returning to class after a long vacation is like starting a machine that has not been maintained and oiled for a long time. It is already very good without falling apart.

Mei Yi found that her vision was switching back and forth between black and white. Mei Yi tried to open her eyes wide. She even used her index fingers and thumbs to forcefully open her upper and lower eyelids, but in the end she couldn't force it...

After switching back and forth about twenty times, she finally fell down on the desk with a soft "thunk" sound.

The teacher standing on the podium shook her head slightly. From her perspective, only the first two or three rows of students in the entire classroom were holding their eyes open to stay awake. This was the norm in the first period. What could she say?

She could only yawn, but the next moment she was choked by the dust raised by the chalk writing.

“Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-”

Mei woke up with the ringing of the get out of class bell. The first time she opened her eyes, she stood up groggily. Nothing that happened in the previous dream remained, as if she closed her eyes and opened them. Time has passed through time.

"Now... eh? It's already noon?"

There is no need to look at the wall clock. The students around me have already taken out their lunch boxes.

She was a little confused. Logically speaking, Kiana should come to her during every class break, right?

"Is it possible that this idiot was punished by Mr. Kuzuki again?"

Mei smiled, took out the bento prepared for Kiana from her schoolbag and prepared to go find her, but at this moment, she saw a familiar figure appearing at the back door of the classroom——

Kuzuki's expression was still so calm, and there was probably nothing that could change his expression. He stood quietly at the back door of the classroom, looking like he had been waiting for a while. And when he saw Mei Yi standing up and turning to look at his position, he suddenly said without warning:

"Thunder and Lightning Meiyi, please come with me."

"Uh...me?"

Meiyi pointed at herself uncertainly. For some reason, she didn't want to do it. This time it was no longer the so-called rejection, but a faint fear that swept through the body.

But after all, it was just a touch of fear.

"Is it... related to Kiana?"

Kuzuki was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"Huh... I knew that idiot was causing trouble again. I'm sorry Mr. Kuzuki..."

As she spoke, she came to the back door. The students around her glanced here and stopped paying attention.

"Thunder and Lightning Meiyi, come with me."

"Where to go?"

Mei asked instinctively, but Kuzumu's footsteps stopped in place. After three seconds, he turned his head and said without any hesitation:

"How about the rooftop?"

Now Mei was in a daze. The rooftop... was where she and Kiana had lunch every day. Normally no one would notice it. She thought they had been hiding well?

Kuzuki suddenly mentioned this place, was he hinting at something?

Meiyi frowned and thought.

What happened today is not weird at all, but I fell asleep all morning, and Kiana didn't come looking for me, and when I woke up, the most incomprehensible teacher in the school, Mr. Kuzugi, came looking for me. Own……

It is normal to fall asleep in class. It may be surprising that Kiana did not come to find him, but given her character, she might have done something to be punished.

As for Kuzumu coming to her as the head teacher of the next class, it is indeed a bit puzzling, but if a teacher wants to talk to a student, it seems that there is no need to tell the reason in advance, right?

Everything has a reasonable explanation, but everything reveals a trace of weirdness that makes Mei Yi feel repulsed.

"Um...Teacher Kuzuki, is Kiana here?"

"Kiana...oh, the principal happened to see her sleeping in class. She should be cleaning the playground now."

"Oh...then...the rooftop? Just the two of us?"

"yes."

Meiyi suddenly felt vigilant in her heart. She had no ill intentions towards Kuzumu, but she was not a fool. In this case, her safety could not be guaranteed at all.

But...she didn't go deep into doubting it. If she really wanted to, she could give various reasons. For example, on the day when the incident happened, even though Kuzumu knew about her father, he didn't act like another teacher. Like adding insult to injury.

For another example, although everyone complained about Kuzumu's severity behind his back, everyone had to admit that he was a conscientious teacher...

As for Mei, the reason why she finally chose to put down most of her defenses in front of Kuzumu...it's also ridiculous to say - because Mikael didn't let her be careful about this guy.

In Mei Yi's impression, the two of them had met before, on the day her father had an accident.

She believed in Mikael. He had probably already investigated the backgrounds of most people in Qianyu Academy. If the investigation was not clear at the moment, he would also inform Mei Yi.

As for Kuzuki, Mikael neither told Mei to be careful about this person nor included him in his trustworthy list. But Meiyi only thought of the former, but forgot the latter...

"good."

She nodded.

The two of them soon arrived at the rooftop. The scenery here was not unfamiliar. Mei Yi quickly walked to the railing of the rooftop and looked at the playground below. Not to mention, he saw a white-haired girl carrying a dustpan and Brooms sweep the plastic track.

Kuzuki didn't step forward. From the first moment he arrived on the rooftop, he silently blocked the entrance to the stairs. He gave Mei Yi enough time to observe Kiana, and he was also observing Mei Yi quietly.

Behind the thick lenses, the black pupils slowly rotated until they turned scarlet. His brain, which was very different from ordinary people, began to spin rapidly. Although he had simulated countless versions of the conversation in his mind before, he carefully made the final revision to the content of the next conversation based on what he had just observed about Mei.

"Teacher Kuzumu, you want to talk to me alone...what's the matter?"

The girl quietly looked at the idiot cleaning the playground for about half a minute, then turned around and took the initiative to stir up the topic.

Kuzuki, or rather, Gray Snake, he took a deep look at Mei, grinned to both sides, and then said:

"Miss Raiden Meiyi, actually you still have a choice now - the next words involve some truth, which is not of much benefit to you. If you don't want to hear it, you can leave."

"Mysterious."

Meiyi gritted her teeth and was about to leave, but after taking a step or two, her steps stopped in place.

"The truth? What truth?"

"About you."

Meiyi looked confused.

"About Mikael..."

Mei Yi unconsciously took a half-step in the direction of the gray snake.

"About your father."

"What do you mean!?"

It was related to herself, to Mikael, to her father... Meiyi could only think of one thing related to all three at the same time, and that was not long ago...

No, Meiyi held her other wrist tightly - there was another thing, eight years ago!

She was a little panicked, inexplicably panicked.

But she quickly came to her senses. Both her father and Mikael were trustworthy people. This was not just words, but Mei's judgment through actions.

"If you want to sow discord, then there is no need."

She looked at the man in front of her coldly, and he looked at him in the same way, until a trace of doubt appeared:

"Sowing discord? No, you may have misunderstood what I meant. Do you think I want to say bad things about your father and Mikael to you? No, no, no, on the contrary, I am quite good at talking about you. I admire them both.”

"What on earth do you mean?"

Mei Yi's voice was already a little ethereal, and her confidence was lacking. She regretted that she had trusted this guy too rashly, but in the final analysis, if the other party insisted on telling her this, there were too many ways and too many opportunities, so what if she refused this time?

Having said that, she decided to leave first, at least to go back and ask Mikael who this Kuzumu was.

But just as she took a step, Kuzuki slammed the door of the stairwell shut.

"Teacher Kuzuki, didn't you say that if I wanted to leave, I still had a chance?"

"Excuse me, Miss Raiden Mei, if I remember correctly, the answer you gave me just now was - playing tricks. Isn't it?"

Mei's cheek twitched, and she understood that the other party would not let her leave at all.

In this case, it doesn't matter.

"Tell me what you call the truth. But don't expect me to believe you, I will judge your words myself."

"Hehe..."

Kuzuki raised the corners of his mouth little by little.

"I said, Miss Raiden Mei, you seem to have too many misunderstandings about what I want to say. It's just... If you insist on me saying bad things about Mikael and your father, it's not impossible. After all, in my opinion, they are very stupid. Especially Mikael, who has not made up his mind to kill you for a whole month."

"You..."

Mei was about to say something, but suddenly her heart hurt, her whole body gradually became weak, and finally collapsed to the ground.

"This is..."

"Ah, it looks like it's too late."

Mei looked around with difficulty, and saw that the originally clear spring sky was now completely covered by thick dark clouds. There were flashes of cold light between the clouds, and the thunder that followed affected Mei's heartbeat, making her almost suffocate.

"Look, what a wonderful scene, the same city, different era, hehehe..."

Amid his laughter, black and purple mist began to surge between the sky and the earth. It only took a few seconds for them to gather into a huge vortex in the sky directly above, and then they were pulled into Mei's body at a faster speed.

"Don't... go away... what is this!"

Mei struggled with her limbs and kept crawling backwards on the floor of the rooftop, but her body was like a dry sponge, completely absorbing the surrounding escaped collapse energy radiation without reservation and almost madly.

"Ahhhhhh——"

Every muscle in her body was twitching violently, and her struggling limbs accidentally pulled dozens of grooves on the concrete floor of the rooftop. Her long purple hair flew up piece by piece, and in the end, Meiyi couldn't even howl.

In a trance, she heard footsteps, and she saw the man who had lost his original cold face standing beside her.

"Now you have to listen even if you don't want to. Raiden Meiyi, blame your father and Mikael's kindness. Eight years ago, they implanted a Herrscher core into your body to save you who was seriously ill. They originally just wanted to save your life, but they didn't expect that this Herrscher core would merge with you so perfectly. Before that, humans had been experimenting for twelve years and spent tens of thousands of experimental subjects, but they couldn't do it. It actually happened like this, hehe... Your preciousness is self-evident.

"But is this a good thing? This is not a good thing. It would be fine if this matter had never been known to anyone, but it's a pity that it was only kept secret for eight years. That's right, your father's matter, after all, it's not you who was implicated by him, but he was implicated by you. Cocolia is just a clown pushed to the front by everyone, and what they really want is just you...

"Ah, yes, 'they'. They want to snatch you from Mikael, which is really difficult, but unfortunately, I'm different. What I want to do is just pure destruction. Specifically, I just need to input some Honkai energy into you who has the Herrscher core, just like this... The door connecting you and the imaginary number will open, and the power of the Herrscher of Thunder... After 50,000 years, the power of the Herrscher of Thunder can once again descend on the mortal world.

"And the price is that you will completely lose yourself, become a puppet of Honkai, and become a monster that only knows how to destroy. Your father and Mikael certainly know this possibility, but unfortunately, their best choice is to kill you directly at the moment the matter is exposed, otherwise, like now, the entire Qianyu Academy, the entire Changkong City, the entire Jidong and even the entire world will be buried with you and their womanly kindness!

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! Your father is fine, but Mikael is someone who has no blood relationship with you... Tsk! He is such a murderer, but he actually showed mercy to a child like you. Maybe he played house too much and got infected with childishness? Hahahaha... Hahahahaha..."

Mei's eyes were filled with darkness, and only the man's mechanical laughter lingered in her ears.

But the next moment, her ears were quiet, with only continuous thunder and a voice exactly the same as her own:

"Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! And then... destroy everything!"
