"Will she come back to school?" Another classmate said enviously, "I heard she's already received her early admission notice..."
"It seems she won't be coming back, but I heard she's coming to school today to complete some procedures and take her belongings."
"So soon?! Her backing must be really strong!"
"Who knows… Anyway, to get recommended to Beichen University, the recommender's background must be extraordinary!"
"Could it be Nobles?! Like, an Earl?"
"I don't know about that. Don't you think she doesn't really associate with us?"
"People are of such a high class, it's only natural they look down on us."
"..."
Xia Chujian didn't expect to hear more gossip while taking a stroll.
To them, high school seniors, nothing is more important than the National Higher Education Entrance Examination, right?
Even after so many classmates in the next class died, everyone selectively forgot about it after a week.
Xia Chujian silently filled her water bottle and turned to leave the tea room.
After returning from the tea room and resting for a while, she started her four afternoon classes.
Around 5 PM, the first and second-year students were dismissed, and the senior year students finished their day.
Dusk was falling, and the sunset in the sky had an unusual crimson glow.
It was only early April, but the weather was hot and dry, at least ten degrees warmer than usual for this time of year.
Especially the dryness. From January until now, it only rained a little last week, not even enough to wet the parched earth.
In the Intermediate Class and Advanced Class classrooms, students were still discussing the questions the physics teacher gave in the last class.
Xia Chujian couldn't understand it at all, nor did she have the time to understand it.
Exhausted, she was the first to rush out of the classroom, carrying her New Tactical Backpack as a schoolbag, to catch the Inner City Maglev Train that was about to arrive at the school gate.
She had only taken a few steps towards the corridor when she heard footsteps coming from the opposite side of the hallway.
Xia Chujian looked up and saw Ji Jiayi, accompanied by two men, walking elegantly from the other side of the corridor.
Ji Jiayi still had long hair, a pointed chin, and an appearance that evoked pity.
The two men behind her were tall and handsome, wearing black suits. Despite the heat, their buttons were neatly fastened.
They were clearly high-level Gene Evolvers.
Unlike the two men from last time, these two were probably Ji Jiayi's new bodyguards, and possibly even Bounty Hunters.
Xia Chujian was particularly familiar with the aura of Bounty Hunters.
When these two men walked, their eyes habitually scanned the surrounding hidden corners, one arm slightly bent, resting on their waist, ready to draw a gun at any moment.
Xia Chujian narrowed her eyes.
She remembered Huo Yushen saying that Ji Jiayi's identity was problematic and that she should be careful…
Coupled with the gossip she heard at noon, today might be Ji Jiayi's last time at school to complete procedures.
She decided to keep her distance from Ji Jiayi.
Anyway, after today, Ji Jiayi would never come to this school again.
Xia Chujian withdrew her gaze and was about to ignore her when she heard Ji Jiayi call out to her.
"Xia Chujian, thank you for last time."
She quickly walked over and took Xia Chujian's hand.
Xia Chujian was stunned, thinking, I'm not that familiar with you, Young Miss, am I?
She wanted to pull her hand away.
But Ji Jiayi held her hand tightly, her expression strange.
Her hand was very cold and trembling slightly, as if she was afraid of something.
Xia Chujian felt even more uncomfortable.
Were they afraid of her?
Because she had shot and killed someone?
Xia Chujian said calmly, "Student Ji, you flatter me."
Ji Jiayi said, "I'm here today to complete the procedures. I'm going to Beichen Star."
"Then congratulations." Xia Chujian finally freed her hand from Ji Jiayi's cold, sweaty hands.
She took a step back, nodded slightly, and started to leave.
Just then, a sudden change occurred in the hallway.
The two bodyguards Ji Jiayi had brought happened to be walking behind her.
The bodyguard on her left suddenly stiffened, a ferocious expression on his face, his mouth open as if he wanted to vomit but couldn't.
Then, with a retching sound, four or five trunk-like tentacles emerged from his mouth! This scene was exactly the same as what Xia Chujian had seen through the sniper scope last year! Remnant Species!
Remnant Species had infiltrated their school!
Xia Chujian was about to push Ji Jiayi away when Ji Jiayi stepped forward and hugged Xia Chujian tightly, repeatedly saying, "Save me! Xia Chujian! Save me!"
At this moment, the man with the Remnant Species emerging from his mouth raised his head and let out a high-frequency roar.
The tentacles were as fast as lightning.
Their tips were as sharp as cones. First, one tentacle pierced through the chest of the stunned bodyguard on the right with lightning speed, effortlessly lifted him up, and threw him from the wide-open window of the corridor down the teaching building.
At the same time, another thick, trunk-like tentacle stabbed fiercely towards Ji Jiayi in front, directly piercing her body, and then extending forward, aiming to stab Xia Chujian, who was tightly hugged by Ji Jiayi! Xia Chujian had quickly activated the mecha's defensive measures when she saw the Remnant Species appear.
At this moment, the tentacle passed through Ji Jiayi's body, only piercing Xia Chujian's outer Khaki Work Suit Set, but could no longer penetrate further.
Taking the opportunity, Xia Chujian kicked out, sending Ji Jiayi, whose eyes were wide open and already dead, but still clinging to her, flying away, and she herself soared into the air!
The tips of the tentacles, sharp as cones, created a whooshing sound as they stretched upwards, instantly wrapping around Xia Chujian.
At the same time, the other three tentacles danced around, attempting to reach into Xia Chujian's classroom.
The students in the two classrooms in the corridor, not expecting to encounter such an unbelievable scene again on their first day of school, didn't even have time to scream, as the roar caused them to have splitting headaches and rendered them unable to move.
This time, Xia Chujian couldn't stand by and watch another class of students get hurt! In mid-air, she reached behind her to the New Tactical Backpack, pulled out the new composite titanium Tactical Dagger that was hanging as a decoration, and with a shing sound, flicked open the blade, and slashed down fiercely!
Bang! The thick tentacle was cut in two by her blade and fell to the corridor.
Then, Xia Chujian discovered that the tentacle she had cut off was still writhing, as if its life force hadn't been completely severed.
Thinking about it, it was normal. Last time, she had used a fully automatic intelligent machine gun, firing a hundred thousand rounds, to turn these arrogant Remnant Species into charred, well-done high-protein seafood!
This time, using only a cold weapon to cut the opponent was already an extraordinary feat.
She could feel the resistance the moment the blade cut into the tentacle.
If this Tactical Dagger wasn't made of special metal composite titanium, it probably wouldn't have been able to cut through this thick tentacle.
As Xia Chujian cut off one tentacle, the other three immediately retracted, no longer attempting to attack the students in Xia Chujian's class, but instead focusing on attacking her.
The standing bodyguard was still raising his head, emitting a high-frequency roar.
And the students in the classroom, even without the tentacles personally attacking, were fainting one after another.
The entire campus was instantly eerily silent.
Xia Chujian thought of the ordinary class students who had just passed away last week. Was it now the turn of the Intermediate Class and Advanced Class students?! No, she wouldn't allow it!
She couldn't let him keep roaring…
Xia Chujian exerted force under her feet, activated the Shao Siming Mecha, and leaped forward in one stride, pouncing towards the top of the standing, roaring bodyguard's head.
Holding the knife in one hand, she stabbed it fiercely into his wide-open mouth, and then twisted the handle a few times, destroying his vocal cords.
Sure enough, the roar stopped, and the remaining tentacles seemed to have been injured at their roots, and began to flail and dance wildly like crazy.
Bang bang bang! They shattered all the surveillance cameras, wall lamps, and windows in the corridor, and even left thick whip marks on the walls.
Then, one tentacle coiled back, wrapped around Xia Chujian, who had pounced on top of it, and threw her out fiercely! Xia Chujian was wearing the Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha inside her work suit, so the tentacle's entanglement didn't suffocate her, but only caused her bruises.
But it still hurt a lot.
She was grabbed by the tentacle, and like the previous bodyguard, she was thrown out of the open window and down to the ground.
The moment Xia Chujian was thrown out of the window, she immediately activated the power system of the Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha, stopping her from falling.
She floated in mid-air, quickly reaching into her backpack and taking out the Qu Zhong 110 Hand Cannon that Huo Yushen had given her.
She no longer cared about the so-called zero-tolerance gun policy.
The school's gun ban had long been rendered meaningless because of Ji Jiayi.
Unexpectedly, just as she pulled out the Qu Zhong 110 Hand Cannon, the tentacle chased after her.
Xia Chujian had no choice but to spin quickly in mid-air, her figure whirling like a top, quickly dodging the incoming cone-like tentacle, while firing back.
Bang bang bang bang…! She fired another twenty shots in a row, blasting the remaining four tentacles with the familiar smell of burnt barbecue!
Although this Qu Zhong 110 was a handgun, judging by its caliber and firepower, it truly deserved the name "hand cannon"! This time, using bullets, the powerful firepower charred the broken sections of the tentacles, extinguishing their vitality, and the severed tentacles no longer attempted to fuse and regenerate.
Xia Chujian breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she put the handgun back, she saw the bodyguard she had knocked down stand up again!
This time, no tentacles came out of his mouth. Instead, a cyan figure walked out from behind him, slowly floating up into the air, and met Xia Chujian's eyes.
Xia Chujian was taken aback.
It was a humanoid creature about one meter tall, wearing simple cyan clothes. It had no hair on its head, but its two eyes were on the top of its bald head. Its face had only an upturned nose and a curved, large mouth.
Its eyes, located on the top of its head, stared at Xia Chujian, who was half a head taller than it, and slowly floated out of the corridor, staying in mid-air like Xia Chujian.
Xia Chujian had no time to be surprised, shocked, or scream.
The moment she saw this Cyan Humanoid Creature, she immediately reached into her New Tactical Backpack and pulled out the Large Sniper Rifle components.
While the Cyan Humanoid Creature floated out of the corridor, carefully examining her, she didn't stop her hands and quickly assembled the rifle.
The Cyan-Clad Humanoid Creature stared at Xia Chujian, its somewhat ethereal figure gradually solidifying.
When it clearly saw Xia Chujian's appearance, its curved mouth opened even wider, as if it pierced through its entire face, stretching from its left ear to its right ear.
Extending a claw-like hand, it pointed at Xia Chujian. The humanoid creature's rough throat made a sound like sandpaper grinding rough stone: "...I like! I want your body!"
With a poof, it blew a puff of cyan gas at Xia Chujian, then shouted loudly, its thin body growing rapidly again, from about one meter to three meters!
This time, it didn't need to look up at Xia Chujian, but Xia Chujian needed to look up at it.
Xia Chujian had already assembled the Large Sniper Rifle.
She raised her head, almost passing out from the cyan gas exhaled by the humanoid creature.
She quickly held her breath, and seeing the humanoid creature's body growing rapidly, she immediately unfastened the New Tactical Backpack and threw it into the opposite third-floor corridor. At the same time, she tapped the Other Shore Flower necklace, selected the Shao Siming Mecha modification mode, and activated the Normal Mechanical Mecha Form.
In an instant, she also grew to three meters tall.
The mecha on her body was no longer a dull Black Silver color, but a cold, hard black iron color! This is the second update.
There will be a new update at 00:05 tonight.
