"Hmph! So I choose this!"
Kushida Kikyo grabbed Bai Yuze's arm, attempting to make his hand touch her chest.
But something she didn't expect happened: because Bai Yuze hadn't buttoned his jacket, his hand quickly retracted, and she was left holding his jacket, deep in thought.
Click!
The camera's flash went off, and Bai Yuze snapped a photo.
"Alright, now it's your turn to suffer."
Bai Yuze cleared his throat, immediately adopting an expression of profound grief and anger.
"You despicable strange object! How dare you impersonate Kushida, the classmate I most admire and like, to attack me! Speak! What have you done to Kushida?"
"Ah... ah?"
Kushida Kikyo was stunned. Looking at Bai Yuze's sincere expression, she gradually realized something...
Oh no! She had become a stand-in!
"Hmph! You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Are you still unwilling to speak even when death is imminent? I will personally avenge Kushida!"
Bai Yuze pulled out the Necklace. Of course, the Necklace had no effect on humans. Bai Yuze brought it out simply to make Kushida Kikyo mistakenly believe he was going to strangle her!
Frightened, Kushida Kikyo immediately dropped the jacket and ran away!
"Damn it! What kind of people are in this school?!"
Kushida Kikyo felt that this school was not a sanctuary or a helpful institution at all; it was clearly a mental asylum!
There wasn't a single normal person in this school!
"Heh! You little thing! Trying to fight me! Wait! No!"
Bai Yuze immediately realized that the other party hadn't paid for the camera yet!
But Kushida Kikyo had already run far away. Bai Yuze sighed, feeling like he had lost a hundred million!
Bai Yuze sighed and returned to his dorm.
In his dorm, he lay on his bed, contemplating his next move.
Since he wasn't sure if he had a home in this world, money was definitely the first thing to consider. Fortunately, the points on his phone were enough for him to spend.
Of the original 100,000, over 70,000 remained. Coupled with the points Horikita Manabu helped him launder and transfer to him, he now had 1.52 million points.
These points, converted to Japanese Yen, were enough for him to live comfortably outside for a while.
Just as he was closing his eyes in thought, a knock sounded at the door.
"Someone? Or a strange object?"
Although the next trial was still far off, strange objects still existed in the school.
Bai Yuze tried his best not to make a sound. He slowly stood up, searching for anything he could use around him.
"Bai Yuze, could you open the door?"
Kushida Kikyo's voice came from outside the door, but Bai Yuze remained silent.
The corridor lights were on.
He stooped down and lay on the floor, peering through the crack under the door. He saw the other person's shoes.
Bai Yuze stood up, thought for a moment... then manipulated Yamauchi Haruki to rush to his floor.
Fortunately, the two were not far apart.
When the elevator door opened, a scream came from outside.
Bai Yuze also saw Kushida Kikyo through Yamauchi Haruki's vision.
At this moment, Kushida Kikyo was terrified. After all, she didn't know that Yamauchi Haruki was being controlled by Bai Yuze. A dead guy suddenly appeared on this floor, and she was the only one in the corridor.
Wasn't this clearly coming for her?
Bai Yuze didn't open the door immediately; instead, he chose to use Yamauchi Haruki to test Kushida Kikyo.
Yamauchi Haruki walked out of the elevator door and slowly approached Kushida Kikyo.
Just then, Bai Yuze noticed a remote-control-like object suddenly appear in Kushida Kikyo's hand. The next second, Yamauchi Haruki lost his balance and fell to the ground. Through his vision, Bai Yuze saw a banana peel.
Bai Yuze guessed that Kushida Kikyo also had a Town-Suppression Strange Object, and its ability was to temporarily restrict the target's movement. Its scope of application was probably wider than his Necklace, not only usable on strange objects but also on humans.
"Bai Yuze, open the door quickly, there's a ghost!"
Kushida Kikyo was on the verge of tears. The rules clearly stated that boys couldn't go to girls' floors, wasn't that implying girls could go to boys' floors? Why was she so unlucky? She wished she hadn't come!
Seeing that he had tested enough, Bai Yuze opened the door and pulled Kushida Kikyo inside.
"Phew... I'm saved..."
Kushida Kikyo broke out in a cold sweat. If it were an open area, she could escape, but Bai Yuze's room was too far back, and Yamauchi Haruki had blocked all paths, even the emergency exit was on Yamauchi Haruki's side.
In this regard, Bai Yuze's actions were no less than saving her from dire straits... Of course... let's not worry about how the dire straits came about for now...
"Thank you, Bai Yuze. If it weren't for you, I would have died here today."
"Who told you to wander around late at night? Are you really afraid of living a little longer?"
Bai Yuze poured her a glass of water. As for why he didn't offer coffee or tea... because he still had to sleep later.
"I thought as long as I didn't break the rules, everything would be fine..."
Kushida Kikyo's words made Bai Yuze a little embarrassed. If he hadn't controlled Yamauchi Haruki, Kushida Kikyo wouldn't have been so scared.
Therefore, Bai Yuze immediately busied himself, trying to mask his embarrassment in this way.
"Is there something you need from me?"
"I... I want to buy your camera and card."
Having just been saved by someone, she really felt awkward treating Bai Yuze with that cold gaze and threatening tone.
However, what she didn't know was that what she considered a threat was less than a roadside dog in Bai Yuze's eyes.
After all, as long as it didn't bite him, Bai Yuze would keep a slight distance from a dog barking wildly at him on the roadside.
But if he were bitten... sorry, if the dog could live to see tomorrow's sun, it would be considered incredibly lucky.
"Buy? Sorry, the price has gone up. It's 100,000 now."
Bai Yuze didn't directly refuse; instead, he offered a price that the other party couldn't currently afford.
"I don't have that much... Can I pay on credit?"
"Small business, never on credit!"
Kushida Kikyo's mouth twitched. What a "small business"! Four hundred percent profit, and you call it a small business?
Even a Mexican drug lord would exclaim and switch professions!
"Is there no other way?"
"Of course! There's no shortage of solutions to problems. Aren't you short on money now? You can borrow or exchange something for it!"
"Exchange? Exchange for what?"
"I definitely don't want junk. I want the best thing you have on you!"
The price of a Town-Suppression Strange Object goes without saying. If he could seize this opportunity to get his hands on it, he would make a huge profit.
"The best thing?"
Kushida Kikyo paused, then shouted loudly.
"Foolish!"
Bai Yuze: ????
