I heard that I’m super fierce - Chapter 43

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

It really was time for the crutches to fall.

Everyone was startled by the crisp sound of the wood hitting the marble floor. The old man reacted quickly to this gaffe, coughed twice, and wanted to bend over and pick up the crutches as if nothing was wrong.

“What is this…”

His hands stopped.

Lin You pretended that she didn’t see his movements, and only asked, “You don’t want me to stay here anymore?”

She couldn’t show what she was thinking on her face, and the one-legged old man waved his hand repeatedly, “No no no—”

“That’s all right,” Lin You didn’t give him a chance to add a “but” after. She smiled and said, “I suddenly remembered that there was still a little last-minute thing that I have to do, so let me wait an hour or so before leaving.”

There were so many cards and high levels at Kisaragi Station. She really liked being in it.

Old man: “…”

She just refused and it was over, why did he shoot himself in the foot?!

“Or else.”

Seeing that his lips could not keep moving, Lin You looked as if she was about to have an aneurysm and could not speak. She thought he kindly gave in and took a step, “To be honest, I won’t hide it. Let’s go quickly, and just tell me what your ability is—”

Old man: “………………”

??!!!

He could fully understand the meaning behind these words, but he looked at Lin You in shock. He turned his head without even picking up the crutches. Even with the lack of support, he was just a little awkward, and his speed was not reduced at all, so he jumped directly back with that one leg.

Wang Yiming: “Hey?!”

The old man’s bony shoulder hit his chest hard. Even if he was such a big man, it was hard enough for him to stagger from being hit with such a strong force. When he raised his head again, the one-legged station manager had already disappeared around the corner. He seemed to be eagerly hiding from the rascal.

Tao Leshan: “What, what is this…”

“Uh,” Li Jing blinked, “Did the boss scare him away?”

Even Xu Yan turned his back, and his shoulders were trembling. After all, it was a bit unkind to gloat right now.

Lin You looked in the direction where the old man was fleeing, and pondered for a few seconds, “Go, let’s catch up.”

…what?

“We’re still chasing him?” Tao Leshan couldn’t help but hesitate, “He brought us all here. Can we get out if we follow along?”

A little light could be seen in the distance—not the yellowish tint that flooded Kisaragi Station, but the whiteness of sunlight. Judging from the appearance of the old manager hurrying them to leave, there should also be a real exit.

“That’s what it says.”

Lin You said.

“Think, there are only a few of us left out of twelve people. How much can the overall survival rate be? Anyway, the game is over. If you can completely defeat the BOSS and make the evaluation level higher, the rewards you will get will be more generous.”

Tao Leshan: “!!!”

Thinking about it, it really made sense.

For a higher score—let’s go!!

“I said,” a sneering voice suddenly sounded, “chase him. Do you know where he ran?”

They did not know when Meiji appeared behind them. Like her sister, as long as she was not restricted, she could move freely with teleportation.

Still, in the red dress, she twirled her long hair round and round her fingertips. The Red Person was crouched in the corner of the wall nearby, mumbling vaguely.

…The light bulb in the mouth that had not yet been taken out was really eye-catching.

“Yes.”

Lin You confessed openly, “I don’t know, but it seems you are willing to tell us?”

“Yes, I saw.”

“…I thought you were in the same group.” Tao Leshan was stunned.

“I can’t tell the group,” the little girl took the initiative to find the door after she calmed down. She said, “Everyone uses each other.”

No matter how long she was dead, she was still a child on the outside, but she seemed to be a little older when she said this.

Wang Yiming: “Uses?”

“If someone accidentally dies in the station, he can absorb his vitality. But as a fair manager, he can’t do it himself, so it’s up to us to come forward—”

She turned to Tao Leshan.

“He saved you, right?”

The latter nodded blankly.

“Because it is a rule that the railroad tracks cannot allow people to pass if you die on the tracks, it is not an accident. He won’t get the slightest benefit.”

Tao Leshan: “…”

Human hearts—no, the hearts of ghosts, were so sinister these days.

Lin You looked at the little girl up and down, and Meiji accepted her scrutiny calmly.

“You are quite quick to turn back.”

Meiji shrugged.

“Even if your sister can’t find him, you won’t let it go. I just think that since I can see the ending, it is better for me or Meizi to plan—”

She leaned over to Lin You’s ear, who was bending down and whispered a few words quietly.

Listening to the approaching footsteps behind him, the old man, who was still hopping forward with one foot, crumbled on the inside.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

He had already relied on his familiarity with the terrain to get rid of them, but God knows how they caught up again.

Estimating the distance, he knew that this must be a shortcut. However, this group of players had only been in this station for a few hours, and even if they have searched countless times to find the body parts, they shouldn’t know this area, unless—

The old man felt like there was a mirror in his heart. He knew that someone had definitely sold him out. There were only a few left, and he wanted to know who they were.

He wanted to get rid of these guys chasing him. But he was constrained by Kisaragi Station. He was the administrator of the junction between humans and ghosts. He can’t do it—at least by himself!

It was easier to invite the devil than send him away. The old man could deeply understand this now. If had known this, he wouldn’t play a cat-and-mouse game at all!

He was still running desperately and when he looked up, a black shadow fell in front of him.

“…?!”

Wang Yiming blocked the road ahead, and the one-legged old man stepped back and then ran into the person behind.

Xu Yan smiled and helped him stabilize his body and pushed him forward.

The old man was blocked in the middle. He scanned each of them, and the expression on his face could not be described in words—maybe he had never dreamed that one day he would be chased by humans to this point.

“No nonsense,” Lin You said waving her fists, “Would you change the card by yourself or should I help you?”

Old man: “…………………………”

Everyone: “…”

Li Jing: “…”

She covered her face speechlessly—she should have guessed that this was her real motive!

“You—it’s useless for you to catch me!” The old man was still making a final struggle. Halfway through the struggle, he finally saw through life and death. Seeing that the blockade was tight, he knew he couldn’t escape. He let out a long sigh.

“Well, I’ll promise. You are all good. Leave, as long as you leave, it will take effect naturally.”

Lin You glanced at him, “How do I know you aren’t lying to us?”

“I’m the manager of this station, so I can’t lie!”

He seemed to want the crutches in his hands, and after grabbing them, he remembered that he had lost them.

“Well, just follow that path—don’t look at me, you can get out!”

With this guarantee, it looked like the man wasn’t lying. The crowd dispersed, leaving him on the spot and beating his chest because he didn’t have anything left.

On the way back, Tao Leshan nudged Xu Yan with his elbow, “What are we bringing?”

“I don’t know.” Xu Yan spread his hands.

Lin You didn’t listen to their discussion. She drew out the card that she had obtained but had not yet collected the illustration book.

NAME: “RED PERSON”

CARD NUMBER: 022

LEVEL: SR

NOTES: TWO SISTERS WHO DIED AFTER BEING DISMEMBERED. YOU CAN SUMMON MEIJI OR MEIZI AFTER TURNING THEIR HEADS. MY SISTER HATES CLAUSTROPHOBIA, AND MY SISTER SEEMS TO BE DETERMINED TO LEARN VENTRILOQUISM AFTER A TRAGIC INCIDENT. 

Lin You: “…”

Speaking of which, she really has a good teacher of ventriloquism here.

She didn’t expect that the Red Person would be an SR-class two-person card. Thinking of this, Lin You looked back at SCP-096.

“Do you want to keep following?”

She asked: “If you follow, you can just follow us out.”

They were one step away from the exit.

The others stood outside, bathing in the long-lost sunlight. Lin You’s movements only stopped for a moment, and then she stepped out of the threshold.

It’s not known if SCP-096 did not understand her.

But it did not hesitate to keep up with her. Then, as soon as he left the building, his body flickered in the air for less than half a second, before turning into a card in Lin You’s hand.

At the same time, everything in front of her froze.

CONGRATULATIONS, THE WHOLE STORY OF THE A-LEVEL INSTANCE “KISARAGI STATION” IS COMPLETE. 

YOUR PERFORMANCE IN THIS INSTANCE IS JUDGED AS—S. 

——JUDGMENT OF TASK, AN SSR CARD IS OBTAINED AND HAS BEEN PUT IN YOUR BACKPACK.

Once again standing in the small room surrounded by a bright blue light, the main interface gradually lit up, and Lin You looked at the two illuminated cards in her hand.

NAME: KISARAGI STATION

CARD NUMBER: 011

LEVEL: SSR

NOTES: EXISTS IN AN ALIEN SPACE OUTSIDE OF THE NORMAL WORLD. AS A SCENE CARD, IT ONLY HAS THE RIGHT TO BE USED AND CANNOT BE SUMMONED DIRECTLY. MANAGERS DON’T LIKE MEETING PEOPLE LATELY, SO THEY ARE WELCOME TO EXPLORE POSSIBLE WAYS TO USE THEM. 

…it was unexpectedly a bit serious.

A scene card…but it’s also an SSR! The first SSR!

Lin You pressed down the corners of her mouth and looked at the next card.

The 096 on the card was still wearing a paper bag, standing sideways with his hands down, facing the front with his head tilted.

Speaking of…If it wasn’t seen by the Slit-mouthed Woman, was it alright as long as you don’t call them out together?

Thinking this way, Lin You tried to put the card into the illustration book.

—Very good, nothing happened.

With a sigh of relief, she moved to the aforementioned illustration.

NAME: SCP-096 “SHY” PERSON

CARD NUMBER: 024

LEVEL: SR

NOTES: IT REALLY MINDS BEING SEEN BY OTHERS IN ITS TRUE COLORS. PLEASE BE CAREFUL, ONCE YOU SEE A PHOTO WITH ITS FACE PRINTED ON IT, YOU WILL BE CHASED TO THE END OF THE WORLD. RECENTLY IT SEEMS TO HAVE BECOME LESS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT HAS BECOME KEEN ON COLLECTING PAPER BAGS OF VARIOUS STYLES—AND THEN PUTTING THEM ON ITS HEAD! 

Lin You: “…”

It felt like…it was becoming aware of some strange hobby.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
