Chapter 194 Statue of Liberty Academy "2 in 1"
The next day,
As the warm sunlight shines through the window, it sprinkles on a white and charming body,
The white jade hand rubs the eyes, and the lazy blue-purple eyes slowly open.
"Well...I had no dreams all night, neither the suffocation feeling of being entangled by the snake demon, nor any water stains when I woke up. The quality of sleep has improved significantly after Bai Huahua is gone, well, needles don't prick..."
Bai Zhi muttered while picking up the phone to check the time.
"What? 9:30?!"
She actually slept until 9:30 in the morning before waking up, and slept for nine hours.
This sleep time that exceeds that of ordinary people is related to her long-term use of a lot of mental power last night, and also to her habit of becoming more and more sleepy after she turned into a human form.
"Being more and more lazy is not a good thing..."
"Be careful next time!"
After struggling to get up, Bai Zhi went to the bathroom to wash up.
Although she felt no bad smell in her mouth after a full night of nine hours of sleep, her mouth was still very fresh.
But in order to prevent her roommate Dolores from secretly looking down on her and looking at her strangely, she still insisted on doing so.
"Hehe~"
Humming an unknown tune, Bai Zhi, who was in a good mood because of a good sleep, was about to go out alone to eat breakfast that might have been closed, and was caught by Dolores.
"Hey, you want to sneak out again? Don't forget what you promised me yesterday."
Dolores was already dressed and leaning against the door frame of the bedroom, smiling at Bai Zhi.
"I thought you were still sleeping, so let's go." The latter said nonchalantly. After a good sleep, she had almost digested the embarrassment of last night.
The two went downstairs, ate something to fill their stomachs, changed their clothes, and ran to the tennis hall with empty hands. There were rackets and tennis balls there.
.......
Many people had already gathered in the spacious open-air tennis hall.
As she was about to do strenuous exercise, Bai Zhi took off her mask at the beginning.
Although she didn't want to attract too many other people's attention, she would not let herself feel short of breath when exercising.
"Su Ya, don't you need to warm up?" Dolores asked while stretching.
"Me? No." Bai Zhi said as a matter of course.
In her opinion, with her extraordinary vitality of 1.9, she could easily beat Dolores without warming up.
But the next development was beyond Bai Zhi's expectations...
It must be said that Dolores should play tennis frequently abroad, and the situation on the court has always been firmly controlled by her.
Although Bai Zhi's physique is much stronger than that of ordinary people, after all, she has never been exposed to tennis, so she is at a disadvantage.
"I have an idea. We have sweated so much. How about we go swimming together in the afternoon and take a shower at the same time?" Dolores said loudly while hitting the tennis ball.
Swimming... This made many people who were secretly observing and watching openly brighten their eyes.
It would be a wonderful thing to see these two beauties swimming, or even soaking in the same pool.
"Swimming pool? I won't go." For some indescribable reasons, Bai Zhi refused without thinking.
Why do you always want to drag me to the swimming pool? Aren't you deliberately trying to make me die? And I haven't sweated much for this level of exercise... Bai Zhi complained silently.
"Don't you know how to swim? Sister, I can teach you personally, don't worry." Dolores still didn't give up, and even had the meaning of provoking.
"Not interested." Bai Zhi's tone was flat.
Dolores suddenly stopped, grabbed the ball and panted slightly:
"Let's play a game. Whoever wins 6 games first will be the winner."
"If I win, you will go to the swimming pool with me. If you win, you can ask for anything you want. How about that?"
This... After a period of consideration, Bai Zhi reluctantly said:
"If I win... three steaks."
This was the result of her consideration after she showed mercy.
"No problem!" Dolores excitedly clenched the tennis ball and waved it in front of her:
"Then let's start!"
Sorry, in order to save money and avoid social death, I have to cheat... Bai Zhi sighed silently in his heart.
Bang!
The game started, Dolores swung the racket violently, and the mustard yellow tennis ball shot out like a bullet.
At this moment, Bai Zhi's breath suddenly condensed, his blue-purple eyes became deep, he took a half step back, and swung the racket sideways, all in one go.
She is a spider, and she can control every muscle, every bone, and every fascia of her body.
To some extent, she is a natural athlete, acrobat, and fighter.
Bang!
When Dolores reacted, a circular mark had appeared on the right rear.
Then, Shiraori led the way.
"30:0!"
"1:0!"
"......"
"6:3!"
After the game, Dolores stepped forward angrily and said, "Damn it! You pretended not to know how to do it before!"
In order to get something for free, Lord Shiraori spread his hands helplessly: "I said I learned it in the first few games, do you believe it..."
After playing the game, she noticed wetness coming from her back. On the other hand, Dolores was already sweating profusely.
After checking the time, it was already dinner time. The two of them changed their clothes and left the tennis hall, heading to the campus cafeteria.
...
Due to the large campus area of Starcom University, there are two canteens in the north and south, for a total of four canteens.
The canteen that Bai Zhi and Delores are going to is located in the north. It has four floors and has the largest selection of food, so it is also the most popular among international students.
As soon as they entered the cafeteria, a boy with brown hair and blue eyes walked towards Delores: "Hi, Delores, how have you been these two days?"
The boy is very tall and has a handsome and sunny appearance. He looks like a western cowboy boy. He has a friendly smile on his lips, giving others an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
Dolores smiled and pulled Bai Zhi to greet her: "President Dick, I must introduce to you my beautiful roommate - Su Ya. She grew up in the empire..."
Later, she also introduced to Bai Zhi Dick, the president of the branch of the Lady of Liberty Society at Starcom University, who had already been exchanged at Starcom University for a year.
The Goddess of Liberty Society is a student organization distributed in major universities around the world. Its members are all members of the Goddess of Liberty Empire and have a high belief in the Goddess. Generally speaking, after graduation, its members will join the Goddess of Liberty Church after passing the assessment.
In addition to collaborating on academics, work, and major competitions, some members of this student organization are also passionate about exploring mysterious supernatural events.
Only then did Bai Zhi find out that Dolores was a member of the club before coming to the Federation, and after enrolling in school, she joined the branch of Star University.
Dolores chose to study abroad as an exchange because she felt that the Federation was safer. She probably wouldn't be interested in mysterious events... A thought flashed through Bai Zhi's mind.
As for Bai Zhi's current identity as "Suya", because she has the blood of the Federation and lacks faith in the Statue of Liberty, she did not join the Statue of Liberty Society.
"Hello, your reputation has spread since you first entered the school yesterday." Dick extended a hand and said politely.
"Hello, I don't quite understand what you mean." Bai Zhi said in confusion as he held out a catkin to shake hands with the other party.
Dick's smile gradually deepened: "Our branch group and the small group of international students all circulate your photos, and the entire school's message wall and forum are also discussed about you."
"I must thank the Statue of Liberty for allowing me to meet such a junior sister before I leave school..."
Please, I don't want to eat melons, keep a low profile, must be low-key... Bai Zhi automatically blocked Dick's tirade, looked at Dolores and whispered:
"What shall we eat?"
...
During the meal, when Dick finally left, Bai Zhi looked at Dolores and asked casually:
"Since you are a member of the academy, do you usually pay attention to some mysterious events?"
Unexpectedly, Dolores nodded and said frankly: "Yes, and I'm quite interested."
Bai Zhi suddenly started to think twice: "But you said yesterday that you applied to study here because the Federation was less affected by strange things than the Empire."
Delores smiled: "Everyone has the right to pursue and develop hobbies, but that should not be at the expense of one's right to life."
"The supernatural phenomena that have occurred in the empire can be called disasters without exaggeration. Large-scale building damage and casualties often occur."
"But the Federation is different. Even in the south, where the strange invasion is the most serious, there have been no incidents that have greatly affected people's normal lives."
"You see, although the school is closed due to control measures, we can still live well, enjoy sports and normal canteens, no one is homeless or displaced; there is no epidemic that caused hundreds or even thousands of deaths. An extremely serious incident endangering public safety..."
Bai Zhi wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and said dryly: "Yes, I understand."
In fact, she didn't understand.
She has never been to the continent on the other side, and she has no idea what the people there have experienced. She can only imagine the turmoil there through the information provided by Guiyu, through the few words and cold data descriptions.
"Actually, those monsters once passed through the city where my home is located, and my family died because of the disaster half a year ago..." Dolores' eyes darkened.
"I'm sorry." Bai Zhi put down the tableware and whispered seriously and solemnly.
In contrast, she did feel grateful for the current state of the Federation.
After a few seconds of silence between the two,
Dolores looked at Bai Zhi, her smile turned bitter: "From that moment on, I knew that I couldn't keep anyone, let alone protect those important people in my life..."
"When the real danger came, I could only watch as their lives passed by like quicksand on my fingertips."
"So, when I came here, I not only wanted to escape the chaotic empire by studying abroad, but also hoped to find an opportunity, a strength that would allow me to protect myself and those around me."
The blue-purple pupils shrank slightly.
"I heard..." Between Dolores' moist lips, she uttered words that shocked Bai Zhi:
"The source code first appeared in Yong'an City."
As expected... Bai Zhi calmed down and pretended to be surprised: "You actually know the source code."
This time it was Dolores' turn to be surprised:
"Don't Su Ya know? Although the federal government has blocked relevant information, it can still be easily retrieved on the empire's network, and this is no longer a secret to most young people in the federation."
Without waiting for Bai Zhi's response, Dolores suddenly looked around. Seeing that there was no one nearby, she lowered her voice and leaned closer and said:
"It is said that someone in the Lady of Liberty Society had access to the source code and performed a séance ritual."
What Bai Zhi knows about the "spiritual ritual" is that it is an evil ritual guided by the source code that can bring extraordinary power to the person who performs it.
According to the information from the Secret Guard Bureau, at the time when the "spiritual seance ceremony" is completed and for a long time after, the performer will see all kinds of indescribable terrifying existences, but whether those terrifying existences are real or hallucinations, the Secret Guard Bureau has not yet determined.
One possible speculation at present is that there are both reality and illusion.
Bai Zhi said curiously, as if he was asking about a trivial piece of gossip:
"So, what happened to the person you mentioned?"
Dolores touched her delicate chin and recalled:
"There didn't seem to be any big problems, except that I heard someone knocking on the door every night, and when I opened the door, I found nothing."
Are people's hearts strong enough now... Bai Zhi commented silently.
"By the way, after the ceremony, the man's physique seemed to have been greatly strengthened, and his love life with his girlfriend became much more harmonious."
By the way, this is a plot concocted by some crazy marketing account... Bai Zhi rolled his eyes secretly.
"Su Ya, if you had a source code program installed on your phone, would you perform a ceremony to gain extraordinary abilities?" Delores had a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
If you want to hold a "spiritual seance ceremony", one of the necessary materials is an intelligent terminal device running the source code.
Otherwise, even if you know the incantation and steps, you will not be able to successfully "seize spirits".
Regarding this question, Bai Zhi just smiled with unknown meaning: "I probably don't dare."
Dolores nodded understandingly and said:
"Actually, I'm also afraid of that kind of thing. Maybe only boys dare to try it. But if that thing really comes to my phone, I will probably still try it."
