Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest.

Chapter 198 Pretty Waste, Running Away from School

Everyone rushed out of the training ground in a hurry. Lin Ning was still in disbelief:
"No way? She said she was going to buy some drinks..."

"You just believe what she says!" Yan Yu was also impressed by Lin Daiyu. "You still say you're not easy to fool?"

"Why did she slip away?" Su Yunjin frowned in confusion.

"I guess he feels the training is too tiring." Yan Yu said coldly.

Everyone:?
Wait, are you tired?

It hurts, but it doesn't hurt you, Xie Ruoxi! Looking at the hours, I work from 9am to 11:1am, 5:7pm to 9pm, and even from 8pm to 996pm. That's only 10 hours in total, while the schedule outside requires working at least hours a day!

"Don't put your own mindset into her shoes." Yan Yu didn't bother searching the campus, but ran straight towards the school gate, explaining, "It's like a stray cat. You feed it lavishly, thinking it won't run away. But you don't realize it's still wild and untamable, and you won't reason with it!"

Chen Lingyun raised her eyebrows, revealing a playful expression, and smiled sweetly:
"So you want to catch him and teach him a lesson, right?"

"Catch him first." Yan Yu came to the school gate and started thinking quickly in his mind.

Jinling Airport... No, that pretty loser doesn't have the courage to cut ties with me, so she'll probably find another place to sneak around.

Where will you go?
Let me think, where will that rubbish go...

After all, he had the memories of his past life with Xie Ruoxi, so Yan Yu quickly instructed:

"Chen Lingyun."

"Ok?"

"Find someone to check all the internet cafes around the school, from nearest to farthest."

"Okay~" Chen Lingyun said with a smile.

"Lin Ning." Yan Yu continued to give orders.

"I'm here."

"You can search online for nearby commercial complexes that have arcades. Go find them."

"Okay!" Lin Ning agreed quickly.

"Su Yunjin." Yan Yu said.

"You said."

"Call her or send her a message, even though she probably won't dare reply." Yan Yu said quickly, "If she doesn't reply, go find Instructor Qi. Don't mention anything else, just say that Xie Ruoxi has been out for a while and we can't contact her, and ask him to find a way to help find her."

"Okay." Su Yunjin knew there was a balance here: he had to ask Instructor Qi to help find someone, but he couldn't let him know Ruoxi had "run away from school." He nodded and said, "Leave it to me."

"Zhao..." Yan Yu was suddenly stuck.

How could this demonic woman help? She wasn't as well-connected as Chen Lingyun, not as sharp-eyed as Lin Ning, and not as intelligent as Su Yunjin. Wouldn't it be more of a hindrance to have her involved in the search?
"What do you want me to do?" Zhao Yuanzhen didn't know what Yan Yu was thinking, so he just asked hurriedly.

Seeing her positive expression, Yan Yu said gently:

"Go back and guard our house. If she comes back, don't let her leave."

"Leave it to me!" Zhao Yuanzhen patted his chest, not realizing that he had actually been sent away - Xie Ruoxi was determined not to go back at this time.

Everyone quickly dispersed, and Yan Yu stood at the school gate, continuing to think silently.

Internet cafes and video game arcades are the two places she is most likely to go to, followed by lolita clothing stores and anime peripheral stores... However, these places are not easy to search on the map. Xie Ruoxi is an outsider and is not familiar with the surroundings, so she will probably give priority to places that are easy to find and suitable for hiding and killing time.

Well, there's also...

Yan Yu suddenly had an idea and took out his mobile phone to search.

Keywords: comic convention.

Got it! There's a KanColle Carnival going on here!
Others may not know, but Yan Yu knows that Xie Ruoxi is a veteran KanColle player and has produced many KanColle cosplays.

Looking at the map, there is quite a distance to the venue, but veteran 2D fans are not afraid of long journeys, so Yan Yu quickly took a taxi and headed straight to the comic exhibition.

Arriving at his destination, Yan Yu saw various Kanmusu signboards lining the entrance to the venue, and a large "Operation Begins" poster hung on the exterior. Walking inside, the venue was covered in Kanmusu-themed decorations everywhere, from the sides of the gates to the billboards on the load-bearing columns, and the anime character illustrations everywhere, all of which were two-dimensional paper figures with colorful hair and unusually large bodies.

Yan Yu just took a look and lost interest.

At first glance, it's fake, not as real as the witch from the devil sect.

Apart from the security guards, most of the passers-by around are men, many of whom are carrying backpacks, holding bags in their hands, and holding rolled-up paintings under their arms; of course there are women, but they are usually dressed like Kancolle, with hair of various colors, visiting the stalls, or taking photos with tourists and making heart and V signs.

Even if Yan Yu was not proficient in this area, he knew that cosplay costumes and wigs needed to be prepared in advance, and it would take a long time to put on makeup, so Xie Ruoxi would definitely not have time to perform her face-changing magic.

If she's here, she must have come in as a tourist - so ignore the Coser and only scan the female tourists!
He activated his spiritual sense and scanned the surroundings unscrupulously.

This one isn't it, and that one isn't it either. Let's look ahead...

Yan Yu quickly scanned the entrance to the hall and was about to move forward when he was suddenly stopped by a cosplayer next to him:

"Hey, aren't you that... Yan Zhanlong?"

Yan Yu:?
Oh, I was in a hurry to come out and forgot to wear sunglasses.

"Can you sign an autograph for me?" The young lady came up to me enthusiastically. "I'm your solo pusher too, haha. I've seen your battle videos before, you're really cool~"

Yan Yu was about to reject her harshly, but suddenly an idea came to his mind. He took the marker from her hand and said with a smile:

"Where to sign?"

"Sign here~" the young lady pointed to her chest.

"Huh?" Yan Yu showed a speechless expression of "Are you kidding me?"

"Haha, I'm just kidding." The young lady quickly corrected herself, "Sign my skirt. This is Atago's bride skin."

Yan Yu had no time to listen to her explanation. He quickly signed his name and asked:
"Are you a cosplayer here? I have a friend who might be at the venue, but I can't contact her. Have you seen her?"

"Well, let me see." The young lady looked at the photo on his phone and suddenly asked curiously, "Magical Girl Xixi?"

"You know her?" Yan Yu was surprised.

"She's also a cosplayer in our fandom," the young lady said with a smile. "I remember she really liked going to Lexington and North House... I asked my friend if he had seen her."

She took out her cell phone from somewhere, tapped away at dizzying speed, and frantically called people in the Cosplay enthusiasts group.

There were also a few photographers standing nearby, planning to wait for Yan Yu to leave before continuing to take pictures. Upon hearing this, they curiously asked:
"Magical Girl Creek is here too? I don't see her on the guest list."

"She may just be here for sightseeing." Yan Yu said calmly.

"Found it." The young lady suddenly said, "They're playing games at Pavilion C. I'll take you there."

"No, thank you." Yan Yu refused expressionlessly, anger already rising in his heart, "I can find her myself."

Okay, okay, you actually hid here, you damn pretty loser!

I was just about to tell Instructor Qi that you must not be handed over to the Annan Army because they don’t have the ability to train you, and then you did this to me!
Isn't this a slap in my face?

If you dare to mess with me, the strongest in this world, even a dragon will be killed by me! How dare you, Xie Ruoxi, come and slap me, Yan Zhanlong, in the face?
He turned around and used a magical move to fly more than ten meters away in an instant, shocking the surrounding photographers so much that they quickly raised their cameras to take pictures, but they only captured a long string of afterimages.

In front of a booth at Pavilion C, Xie Ruoxi was standing in front of a machine holding a hammer, playing the whack-a-mole game - except that the moles had been replaced with "Cheshire Cat" models. It was said that if you hit 20 points within the specified time, you would get a standee.

There were many tourists around, all watching her play whack-a-mole, and commenting from time to time:
"There's not enough time."

"One more mistake and it's gone."

Xie Ruoxi, however, refused to believe it. His hands moved faster and faster, and his accuracy also increased. Don't underestimate my reaction speed, which I've developed from playing Eastern barrage games for ten years!
Finally, with the last blow of the hammer, the 20th Cheshire Cat was hit by her, and the machine made a "big win" bell sound, and the surrounding tourists also exclaimed in cooperation.

Xie Ruoxi was beaming with joy. Just as she was about to take the Cheshire Cat sign from the stall staff, she heard a sudden, earth-shattering roar in the distance, as if it was about to blow the roof off:
"Die for me!!!!"

Before she could finish her words, Yan Yu had already rushed behind her and pressed her head into the hole of the machine.
