They saw a boy wearing the uniform of Sooji High School.

He simply stood there quietly, without making any aggressive moves, but the few infected creatures, filled with savagery and madness, seemed to have seen their natural enemy and unconsciously took a half step back.

next second.

The boy raised his hand and snapped his fingers lightly into the air.

"Snapped."

A crisp sound echoed in the silent warehouse.

There was no explosion, no shockwave, and not even any extra sound.

The grotesque and terrifying infected creatures at the entrance seemed to have had their bodies deleted, like scattered pieces of material. From head to toe, they were silently and layer by layer decomposed and annihilated, eventually turning into countless specks of light that dissipated into the air.

The entire process of deleting 5 pieces of chess pieces was bizarre yet filled with an indescribable beauty.

It was like a magnificent yet cruel magic trick.

Yukino and Fujiwara were completely stunned. Their mouths were agape, they forgot to breathe, forgot their fear, and their minds went blank.

The boy slowly turned around, the moonlight illuminating his handsome yet aloof profile.

"Yukinoshita-kun, Secretary Fujiwara."

Gu Chuan's gaze fell on them, his voice still calm, "It seems you're alright."

33 dares not start a live stream

Inside the student council office, the emergency lights cast a cold glow, stretching the shadows of the three people long.

In the deathly silence that followed the catastrophe, a sense of awkwardness and bewilderment permeated the air.

Fujiwara Chika was still sobbing softly, while Yukino Yukinoshita had her head down, her hands tightly gripping the hem of her skirt, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force.

She didn't dare to look at Gu Chuan.

The image of her righteously accusing Gu Chuan of having ulterior motives towards Fujiwara in the student council is still vivid in my mind.

Now, the boy she misunderstood and attacked with sharp words has, like a god, pulled them back from the gates of hell.

The stark contrast overwhelmed Yukino Yukinoshita with immense guilt.

That unquestionable correctness that she had always been so proud of was shattered in the face of absolute power and cruel reality.

"That skirt is suspiciously long...Gu Chuan, classmate..."

In the end, Yukino mustered up her courage and broke the silence.

She looked up, and her blue eyes, which were always as calm as an ice lake, were now filled with complex emotions.

She stood up and bowed deeply to Gu Chuan.

"sorry!"

"I made some very rude remarks to you before without any investigation or based on my own assumptions. Whether you accept it or not, I must apologize to you. I am truly... very sorry!"

Her voice trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly, yet it was incredibly sincere.

Gu Chuan looked at her, his eyes still calm, as if nothing had ever happened.

"I accept your apology," he said calmly.

He didn't take such a trivial matter to heart.

"Hey! Yukino-chan! Don't try to shoulder everything by yourself!"

Seeing this, Fujiwara Chika quickly wiped away her tears and ran over, saying, "It's all my fault! I forced Gu Chuan to play the 'love detective' game I invented, which made you misunderstand! I should be the one apologizing..."

No, it's my problem.

Yukino interrupted her, stubbornly shaking her head. She looked at Gu Chuan, mustering even more courage, "Gu Chuan-kun, to express my apology, and also... to get to know you again. From now on, can you... can you call me 'Yukino'?"

In Japan, addressing someone by their first name is proof of a very close relationship.

This was the first time Yukino Yukinoshita had actively sent such a clear signal to a member of the opposite sex.

Looking at the stubbornness and sincerity in her eyes, and then glancing at Fujiwara Chika who was looking at him expectantly, Gu Chuan understood.

“Okay.” He nodded. “In exchange, you can also call me ‘Chuan’.”

"Eh?! Really?!" Fujiwara Chika immediately became excited. "Then... Kawa-kun! Please take care of me from now on!"

"Kawa..." Yukino murmured the name, a faint blush rising uncontrollably on her cheeks.

That immense sense of guilt seemed to transform at that moment into a more subtle emotion that made her heart race.

Just as the atmosphere became somewhat ambiguous, the fear that had been forcibly suppressed, the enormous mental shock, and the sense of relief after being rescued surged in like a tidal wave, instantly overwhelming Yukino's body.

"Ugh..." she groaned, her body swaying violently as she was about to fall to the ground.

A hand caught her just in time.

Gu Chuan supported Yukino's soft yet unusually hot body, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Fever."

He helped Yukino lie down on the sofa, took out fever reducers and a towel from the first-aid kit, soaked them in mineral water, and gently applied them to her burning forehead.

The cold towel made Yukino let out a comfortable groan in her drowsy state.

She felt as if she were floating in an ocean of ice and fire, and the only thing she could hold onto was the hand that was wiping her cheek, carrying a cool scent.

She could sense that it was Chuan who was taking care of her.

This realization quietly melted a corner of her heart, which had always been covered in ice and snow.

An unprecedented sense of security and warmth enveloped her. She instinctively grabbed that hand, as if she were grasping the whole world.

"Don't go..." the girl murmured in her sleep, her brows furrowed, but it was no longer because of a nightmare, but a pure dependence that didn't want him to leave.

Gu Chuan paused, his gaze falling on Yukino's unguarded sleeping face, feeling the unreserved reliance and trust emanating from her palm.

At the same time, the chat group in his mind was refreshing at an unprecedented speed.

[Gem Magician: @Observer! What are you doing?! Didn't you see what happened to Saeko?! Start a live stream! Let us see what's going on!]

[Ice Queen: Hmph, deserting in the face of battle is not the style of a strong person. Observer, if you don't show up soon, I'll start to doubt your strength.]

[Butterfly Dance: Please, Mr. Gu Chuan...]

[Alicia: Oh dear, it seems Mr. Observer is quite busy. But it's precisely at times like these that everyone is most curious about what you're doing, right?]

The girls' urging, questioning, and worried voices rose and fell.

Gu Chuan's gaze shifted from the chat group interface back to what was in front of him, landing on the hand that was tightly gripping him.

live streaming?

In this scenario?

Let's forget it first.

Gu Chuan shook his head, then looked at Saeko Busujima's D.

Seeing that she was on the run, Gu Chuan felt a little relieved. He had previously uploaded a modified version of the breathing technique to the group, which Saeko Busujima had also purchased. Under these circumstances, she should be safe for the time being.

[Observer: Okay.]

Gu Chuan sent out the same two words in the group chat as he had at the beginning, words that left no room for doubt.

[Observer: I'm dealing with the core of the contamination and have no time to spare. Saeko has her own battle to fight.]

After saying that, he didn't wait for any response in the group chat before directly blocking the message notifications.

His words were like a boulder thrown into hot oil, instantly causing the entire chat group to explode.

[Gem Magician: Core Node? You make it sound so high and mighty! I think you're just feeling guilty!]

[Ice Queen: Heh... No time to be distracted? What an interesting excuse. Perhaps... there's something around you that's 'inconvenient' for us to see?]

[Alicia: Wow~ 'Things that are inconvenient to see,' now that Rin and Esdeath mentioned it, I'm even more curious~ Like... a cute girl who needs taking care of her?]

Alicia's words struck like a lightning bolt, hitting everyone's G-spot precisely.

In an instant, all sorts of imagined scenarios played out wildly in the girls' minds.

Is the observer... keeping a mistress hidden away?!

Curiosity, doubt, speculation, and an intense, overwhelming jealousy reached their peak at this moment.

But inside the student council office, at the eye of the storm, all was quiet.

Gu Chuan ignored the commotion in the group chat.

He simply sat quietly beside the sofa, removing the towel from Yukino's forehead, which had become warm, his gaze deep.

Outside the window, it was a scene of utter chaos and doom.

The group chat is a battlefield filled with the smoke of battle.

In this small space, there was only the girl's steady breathing and an ambiguous silence.

34 The Insight of the "Fairy"

Gu Chuan's silence was like adding fuel to the fire, making the atmosphere in the chat group increasingly tense and strange.

[Gem Magician: Damn it! He's blocked my messages! This guy is definitely up to something!]

Rin Tohsaka paced back and forth in her magic workshop, furious, almost crushing the expensive gems in her hand.

[Ice Queen: What a boring man. Looks like I'll have to interrogate him properly after I capture him.]

Esdeath's spirit 7J (four) Fin-feeding gull (six) curled a dangerous arc at the corner of her mouth, as if she was already thinking about which torture device to use to make Gu Chuan talk.

Just as the resentment in the group was about to reach a critical point, and a new round of "punishment" was about to begin, Alicia once again came out to interact with the other girls.

[Alicia: Oh dear, everyone, please don't get so excited~]

She sent a playful wink emoji.

[Alicia: Rin, Esdeath, haven't you noticed? The way you're acting right now, ostensibly concerned about the battle, is actually you checking up on each other~ Just like a little wife worried about her husband cheating on her, it's so cute~]

"Checking up on me?!"

"A little wife?!"

"The Clock Tower and the Empire," two exclamations rang out simultaneously.

Rin Tohsaka's cheeks instantly turned as red as a ripe apple, while Esdeath, after a brief moment of astonishment, had a strange glint in her eyes.

[Jewel Magician: What nonsense are you spouting! I just... I was just worried that if he can't handle the situation, we'll all be doomed! Yes! That's it!]

Rin's explanation seemed weak and powerless; even she herself didn't believe it.

[Ice Queen: ...Hmph, an interesting way of putting it. However, my man truly can only belong to me.]

Esdeath's response, as always, exuded domineering confidence, indirectly acknowledging Alicia's statement.

Alicia's words were like a mirror, mercilessly reflecting the little thoughts deep in their hearts that they themselves were unwilling to admit, instantly throwing them into disarray.

Just then, an avatar that had been grayed out for a long time suddenly lit up again!

[Sword Dao Asura: I'm fine.]

Just three words, yet they were like heavenly music, instantly putting everyone's minds at ease.

[Butterfly Dance: Saeko-san! Thank goodness! I'm so glad you're alright!]

[Gem Magician: Hey! What happened to you just now? You scared me to death!]

[Kendo Shura: Thanks to Mr. Observer's modified breathing technique, I avoided a fatal blow. I'm currently safe with Shizuka-sensei in the storage room of the teaching building.]

Saeko briefly explained the situation, confirming that the strength of the enemy on her side was indeed beyond imagination.

After learning that Saeko was safe, the atmosphere in the group finally calmed down completely.

Seeing this, Alicia's eyes lit up and she immediately seized the opportunity to steer the conversation in a completely new direction that everyone was interested in.

[Alicia: Now that Saeko is safe and Mr. Observer is 'busy', how about we play a game?]

Alicia: The game is called—'The Observer's True Face Guessing Game'!

This suggestion immediately caught everyone's attention.
