Accel World (先飞看刀) Chapter 30: Impending death
The moment the black shadow rose from the direction of the main entrance, spread in the air, and turned dark red.
All Nie Chengyan could do was hug Mercury Xiaohan who was trembling tightly. The ear-piercing screams, the bang of glass bursting, the sudden roar of the wind on a sunny afternoon, the sound of exclamation, and the teachers who jumped out quickly using the escape method without knowing what happened. The murmurs gathered into a bunch and flooded into her mind from all directions with the vibration of ear drums. Even if she was always smart, she could only panic and be at a loss at this moment.
As a student, subconsciously want to seek help from the teacher, but immediately think of the teacher who is by their side at this moment, who is younger than themselves. He raised his head suddenly, wanting to protect the teacher as well, when the spiritual energy rolled in front of his eyes, something flew out, the wind rolled back to the sides, and the sound of rushing through the air temporarily covered everything else. In the panic-stricken field of vision, the vigorous shadow shot out in front of her like a cannonball, leaped to the high place of the opposite teaching building, and flew away with a single tap.
Dragon?
Nie Chengyan's eyes further enlarged.
Temporarily setting aside the surprised gaze of the female class monitor, the boy, like a swimming dragon, quickly approached the gate of the school.
The rising gray shadows are like boiling water, tumbling around in the sky, and what comes out is the dark red color of seaweed thrown into hot soup. It gets colder as you go forward, as if there is a black ice cellar in front of you. It landed on the stone pillar with a sound, and the panicked guards fled to the school from the side of the stone pillar below, shouting.
In the open space in front of the main entrance, the petite girl was like a lamb out of control, screaming towards the sky, with black shadows overflowing from her body, eerie and weird.
Knowing in his heart that something is wrong, the boy swiped his hand, and the cyan light was like a rune with a ready-made light bar swirling in his hand. On the stone pillar on the other side, just at this moment, there was a light "cracking" sound. An old man arrived just one step behind him, holding a walking stick that was only about one meter in his hand, and the sound was exactly the tip of the stick hitting the stone. sound on the block.
"Let me come!" The old man jumped out of the stone pillar, and pointed his cane at the helpless girl. There were long runes on the cane, like a bursting spring, and they were released in circles, towards the cane. The girls under the suit go to...

The accident that happened in the first class in the afternoon gradually calmed down.
Some students tried to find out what happened, but the teachers kept their mouths shut so they couldn't find out anything.
The dark and cold atmosphere condensed at the entrance of the campus is slowly dissipating. The windows that have become incomplete after the glass shattered, and the glass shards all over the floor under the wall are telling everyone that there is still something in the end. Things happen.
In a corner of the school, away from the teaching building and the dormitory building, on a bed covered with white mattresses, a unconscious girl was lying on it.
Beside the bed, Nie Chengyan, who was wearing a loose tracksuit with a white background and red trim, sat there, looking at the sleeping Mercury Xiaowei. His pale face seemed to have lost all color, and his body trembled under the quilt, obviously having a nightmare in sleep.
Although she knew something happened to Xiaowei, she didn't know anything about what happened. After that, their homeroom teacher, Mrs. Xing, took over Mrs. Xiaohan's class, but she was brought here. Probably because, as the squad leader, she was already taking care of the lives of the Mercury sisters in her daily life, so this time, she was also called to help.
"Isn't this child sealed off? Why did he become like this?"
A deep voice came from outside the door.
Then there was an old man's sigh: "It seems that she was stimulated, and her natural spiritual power suddenly went berserk, breaking through the restriction of my previous seal on her."
"Her natural spirit body can do this step?"
"No? After all, she has not undergone real training. Even if she can run away with psychic powers, she can't break through the blockage of her spiritual veins by an old man like me. It should be said that she hit by mistake. In order to prevent her from wandering , the soul was further lost, and at the same time, it was also to prepare for the "seven arrows on the nail head". The child Xiaohan strengthened her natural Yang God spirit body through the blessing of the heavenly official, and the strengthening of the blessing of the heavenly official and the complete collapse of her own backlog of negative emotions , broke through the temporarily cut-off spiritual vein. Fortunately, she was the only one who lost control. Her sister was not around at the time, and Xiaohan's blessing from the heavenly official had a sealing effect on Mercury Xiaohan's ghost physique, so her sister was not affected. The psychic influence of my sister's runaway, otherwise, it is really possible that the blood incident will happen again."
Nie Chengyan heard that the two vice presidents of the college were talking outside, that is, Guo Hongkuo, Mr. Guo and Di Pengtian. Mr. Guo has a respected status in the college, but he belongs to the academic school. The specific affairs and management of the school are not his strong points, so more often, he is just a name.
"How could such a thing happen at such a time!" Di Pengtian seemed to have a headache.
"Why did they call their parents to go through the formalities at this time, and let this child bump into them?"
"Old Guo, the appointment we made with their parents was not today, but tomorrow. According to our original arrangement, the two sisters have already arrived at Jinting Mountain by this time tomorrow, and their families have come to go through the formalities, but because Their family members have important matters tomorrow, so they came here early. As for being bumped into by Mercury Xiaowei, it was purely an accident. The two of them should be in class at this time. It would be better even if it was the older sister who bumped into them. It's my sister... um..."
"What's wrong?"
"I'm starting to wonder if this is really just an accident, I think it's necessary to investigate!"
Hurrying footsteps sounded outside, obviously the first vice president was in a hurry.
Knock, kowtow, kowtow...
The door was opened, Guo Hongkuo and Old Guo leaned on the ground with his cane, entered the room, and glanced at the girl in the room: "Did you hear what we just said?"
"En!" The girl in the room responded in a low voice.
"These things should not be known by others. Now that you have heard it, I have no choice but to kill people to silence it!" Old Guo raised his cane gloomily, gathering invisible energy.
"Grandpa Guo!" The girl called out angrily.
"Hehe, just kidding," Mr. Guo put down his cane and came to the bedside, "I've been so busy these past few months, I don't have time to sit at your house. Is your grandfather still in good health?"
"Probably won't die!"
"It's a pity, it's a pity...uh, I mean, that's good, that's good!" Guo Lao looked regretful.
"Grandpa Guo, what is going on? Why did Xiaowei become like this?" Nie Chengyan sat on the stool and looked up at Mr. Guo. She knew in her heart that since she was called here at this time, and since the two vice presidents knew she was inside, they still did not avoid talking about Xiao Wei outside, which meant that they had already decided let her know.
"This afternoon, the parents of the two sisters came to the school, and they were bumped into by classmate Xiaowei!" Old Guo sighed, "As a result, she saw something that she shouldn't be allowed to see at this time ..."
He took out two documents and handed them to Nie Chengyan.
Nie Chengyan took it over, looked at it suspiciously, and then said in surprise: "It's... so?"
…
***
"So, Mom and Dad are here to sever ties with us?" On the other side in the distance, Mercury Xiaohan stood in the middle of the room with his head bowed.
"To be precise, it is to completely give up the custody and guardianship of you. From now on, the custody and guardianship of the two of you will be transferred to the school!" The dean of the college sat behind the table and looked at her. .
In the same room, Yang Xiaohan sat on the long table close to the wall, scratching his head, although he wanted to comfort her, he didn't know how to speak. Although he is a teacher in name, he can speak clearly and logically about matters related to evasion, and his knowledge is far superior to that of ordinary people, but in terms of life, he is just a child after all.
"However, how could they do this?" Mercury Xiaohan lowered her head, tears streaming down her face, "Even if, even...they should, and should, be nicer to Xiaowei. I can't see you anymore, they...why did they let her know..."
A choked sob resounded in the room, and a wordless sadness filled the air. Mingming's heart is cut like a knife, but at this moment, apart from complaining that his parents shouldn't hurt his sister at the last moment, he can't do anything else.
The dean of the college looked at Yang Xiaohan.
Yang Xiaohan pointed to himself...me?
The dean of the academy nodded.
Yang Xiaohan said helplessly: "Student Xiaohan, actually...they didn't want to. It's just that Xiaowei accidentally let Xiaowei see the document on which they waived their custody rights. On it..." Bite the bullet from the table Jumped up and down, and handed the two documents to Mercury Xiaohan. There are triplicate documents, one for the parents and one for the school, and one for the school.
After a while——
"So it looks like this?" The girl squatted on the ground with her hands folded around her chest, "So it looked like this..."
"Student Xiaohan..." The boy helplessly picked up the documents scattered on the ground.
"Xiaowei...Xiaowei..." the girl sobbed, "Why wasn't I by her side at that time... If I had been there, maybe... maybe she would feel better, maybe It won't become like this..."
The door opened suddenly, and Di Pengtian hurried in with a girl. The girl lowered her head, not daring to make a sound behind him, Mercury Xiaohan raised her head blankly, and found that she was her companion who went to the library with him at noon.
"What happened?" The dean of the college looked at Di Pengtian.
"Pan Jingfang did it," Di Pengtian said bluntly, "Pan Jingfang asked her to lead Mercury Xiaohan out of the dormitory and leave her sister alone. The last ones to leave the dormitory happened to be Pan Jingfang and Mercury Xiaowei. I don't know what Pan Jingfang's intention is, I can't find her in the whole academy."
The dean of the college looked at the girls brought in by Di Pengtian. The girl said nervously: "I, I don't want to, it's..."
The next moment, amidst the sudden roar of the girl, Mercury Xiaohan pounced on the girl like a leopard, and Yang Xiaohan, who reacted quickly, hugged her waist tightly from behind: "Student Xiaohan, calm down, calm down A little..."
The girl backed away in panic, sat on the ground with a slap, and cried out in fright.
…
***
Nie Chengyan blankly put away the two documents in his hand.
This is an official document for Xiaohan and Xiaowei's parents to give up custody of their two daughters.
What really broke Xiaowei, apart from these two documents, was the reason they wrote on the paper... Their father was not their biological father at all.
One day more than ten years ago, their mother suffered a sudden coma and became pregnant later. Although she suspected that she was being bullied, she couldn't figure out who did it.
Different from the western world, here, even illegal cohabitation will be judged by others, let alone getting pregnant out of wedlock. The woman in panic found a man in the town who liked her. Although he knew that the child in her womb was not his own, he still accepted her and the two daughters she brought him.
If it hadn't happened more than a year ago, this secret might have been hidden like this forever, and the family lived like this.
However, that night, the sudden **** abyss broke the originally peaceful life.
"There is no way around this," Mr. Guo said helplessly, "No matter how strong she is, she is just an ordinary woman after all. When the blood abyss opened, she was there, and fell into the blood together Yuan Yuan, perhaps saw some things that should not be seen by mortals. In the first two months after being rescued, her spirit had been in a breakdown, and she did not fully recover afterwards. Her man treated her very well and took care of her all the time. She, comforted her, and later became pregnant again, which was a real child belonging to the two of them. This time, she was all about giving birth to the child, but because of the impact of that incident, her prenatal anxiety was very serious. Finally, the child was born safely, but for her, whenever she thinks of her daughter, she will think of the horrible incident that happened that night, and she can't bear it any longer..."
Nie Chengyan was silent. What could she say about this kind of thing?
Although he is not his own child, he has taken care of his father for more than ten years. He has been working hard but found that his two daughters are not ordinary people, ordinary mothers at all.
She has no way to blame them. If she has to say it, probably, this is fate, right?
"Although I sympathize with them, but now is not the time to sympathize," Mr. Guo continued, "Now, there is a more urgent matter..."
"Grandpa Guo, you are talking about..."
"Mercury Xiaowei...will die!!!"
