It's so painful! So hard! So difficult!

Even though I knew what was going to happen, it still hurt so much... It hurt so much that I didn't even have a chance to feel it before my eyes rolled back and I passed out. Perhaps this is what the legendary "a quick death" means.

After completing all this, Bai Lin, amidst the horrified gazes of the crowd, stood up with unsatisfied energy, dusted herself off, and then her eyes suddenly focused on a spot on the ground. She let out a soft "hmm" and picked up a piece of paper from the ground.

This piece of paper is obviously different from the original color of the book itself, and the size of the paper is also different. It is a relatively small piece of letter paper with a very new color. There is only a line of beautiful small words on it.

"No need to come looking for me, just attend class and relax. I'll come find you after school - Poet."

Although it was the first time Bai Lin saw the poet's handwriting, he could feel that it must have been written by the poet himself. This meant that there shouldn't be any abnormalities before school was over. So...

Do I really want to experience campus life all over again?

Bai Lin looked around. The classroom was in a mess, and the students were stumbling around. It seemed that it was not a good time to attend class. But then she thought, how could anyone believe that a female student knocked down such a large group of people? Besides, other students might not come to identify her. It should be understandable to get away with it.

With this thought, Bai Lin returned to his seat with a smile, as everyone stared at him in shock. At the same moment, the teacher opened the door and entered the classroom. She had come in with a frown on her face, because she'd heard so much noise in the classroom. The bell had already rung, and they were still fighting. It was unbecoming.

But after she came in, the situation seemed to be much more serious than she had expected. His expression was so rich that it couldn't be described by just frowning.

However, the incident was not dealt with too seriously. Those who could still attend class set up their desks and chairs and sat back down, while those who could not were carried away, as if it was not a real fight, but just a staged performance, and did not attract the attention of teachers and school officials.

Bai Lin suspected that campus life and the bullying she encountered were inherent flaws and regrets in her life. The school uniforms weren't like Qianhong's tracksuits, and the overall atmosphere wasn't as oppressive as a typical high school; it was clearly an "idealized school." This environment might have been created to satisfy Bai Lin's spirit. Therefore, after she fought back against the bullying, she didn't need to do any cleanup work.

The mirror itself created such an environment, making up for the original irreparable flaw that only existed in fantasy. This indeed gave Bai Lin a certain spiritual satisfaction.

Chapter 752 What a mess you bought

But if you insist on saying that Bai Lin has made some progress...it might be a bit of a stretch. She thinks that this is just a pleasure for herself, and it doesn't seem as mysterious as people outside say.

Little did they know, Bai Lin had actually improved. Improving one's flawed life was itself a form of improvement. Even if Bai Lin didn't express it, many regrets would always remain in his heart. It's been said that a person's life is about repairing their imperfect childhood, and this isn't entirely without truth. After all, an ordinary person's values ​​are primarily derived from their experiences. Improving one's flaws will lead to a re-examination of one's values.

This experience has already subtly reinforced some of Bai Lin's beliefs. Jing's approach was truly gentle, educating and changing her in a way that wouldn't make Bai Lin feel disgusted or tired. It was truly very gentle.

However, in the mirror, the focus is certainly not on such a "small conflict". The subsequent campus life, for Bai Lin, is naturally more meaningful and somewhat torturous -

The long-untouched schoolwork, the vast amount of text and symbols, once again made Bai Lin realize her mental fatigue and that she wasn't suited to studying. Consequently, she quickly began to experience the distraction that normally comes with prolonged concentration. She became less able to concentrate on the lessons, and her efficiency began to decline, a stark contrast to her state during actual work or combat.

Just like that, a fulfilling, yet somewhat muddled, morning slowly slipped by. By the time he came to his senses, it was already lunchtime, a joyous occasion. Groups of students, chatting and laughing, headed to the cafeteria, and Bai Lin was naturally among them.

The whole campus looks very big. Everyone's clothes are dressed this way and their hair is long. They don't look like the type that Chongguo would manage. The study pressure is not that great. Even someone like Bai Lin who hasn't been to school for a long time can barely understand the content of the class.

After all, the mirror followed her consciousness. If she were really sent back to a high school like that, she would probably gain nothing and just experience life.

Lunch, as expected, wasn't a typical cafeteria meal. They had everything they wanted, no forced sales or outsourcing. This also provided a welcome relief from Bai Lin's boredom from the schoolwork.

The bright sunshine bathed the campus. She bought some food and, experiencing something she had only seen in cartoons, sat on the balcony, enjoying her lunch in the sunshine. After finishing her meal, she simply leaned back, sprawled out her arms, and basked in the sunshine.

It really is, I haven't been this relaxed in a long time. Although I am a little tired, it is obvious that in this environment, even I can concentrate on reading. It's just a matter of how much I read.

Compared to all of this, this mirror truly has its own unique qualities. What I lacked was a happy and fulfilling campus life, and the mirror provided that. The Campus 70s section also recreated a portion of it, allowing me to approach it again with a different mindset.

However, I haven't seen any particularly outstanding performance in the field of "teachers", which is very important in school. This is probably because I have had good teachers, so they have been overlooked.

Think about that old man in the park. Although I don't want to admit it, he's a pretty good teacher. I can also name a few good teachers I've met before. After coming to this other world, I've learned a lot from them. There's really no regrets in this aspect.

As for classmates… that's hard to say. From a rational perspective, a transfer student who's just arrived and has already messed with so many people, no one would come over to say hello. From a mirror's perspective, I'm not short of good company, so naturally I wouldn't go out of my way to arrange for some unintelligent people to chat me up.

The fact that I was lying alone in a place like this was the best proof of that.

Moreover, once you leave the mirror, a normal person would be reluctant to give up this illusory "classmate" relationship. Developing too many emotions may deviate from the mirror's essence of helping you improve yourself, and instead form a shackle.

With such chaotic thoughts, Bai Lin couldn't help but open the book she had picked up from the classroom, preparing to enter the state of a student. She was a big believer in taking a good rest when it was time to rest, and she would never be involuntarily, but...

She took a math book, naturally to use it as bedtime reading, which would not violate her principles.

Just like that, on the rooftop filled with glow, in this quiet but actually bustling campus, Bai Lin slowly closed her eyes.

-

In the blink of an eye, it was already time for afternoon school to end. Bai Lin, clutching a small leather bag, slowly emerged from the end of the line. After all, she was the one in no rush to go home; it was still uncertain whether the world would even have a home for her. As the sun set, she watched the campus gradually fade into silence, her eyes filled with peace and reluctance.

Peaceful times are truly a blessing. Growing up in such an environment is truly a blessing. Even though he didn't understand everything he learned, he did gain something. Bai Lin even felt like finishing the homework in his bag.

However, once the crowd had completely dispersed, a figure walking against the current dispelled Bai Lin's thoughts. She slid through the crowd with a light, graceful step, yet without a hint of unnaturalness. Her red eyes, a richer hue than the setting sun, yet still carrying a touch of poetic beauty like the red maple leaves, gazed through the autumn water, conveying both coolness and beauty.

She was also wearing a school uniform, and her already youthful face looked even younger. To be honest, she and Bai Lin were like junior and senior students. The poet now exuded a youthful glow, as if the clothes she was wearing really suited her. And even in this situation, the elegant temperament she exuded was not diminished at all -

If she didn't have a bunch of mess in her hands.

The poet's hands were filled with plastic bags, large and small. They were of all sizes and types, and they looked like they had a lot of brand names on them. They had everything from X He Tang, X Shu Puffs, and X Jia Bakery.

Chapter 753: Now that things have come to this, let’s eat first

How can I describe the sheer volume of things she had? It felt like something a student wouldn't even buy on a spring outing. And almost all of it was sweets, making her look like a serious sweet tooth, a stark contrast to her somewhat cool demeanor.

"What did you buy?

Bai Lin's voice trembled slightly. As a modern person who traveled through time, she was of course very clear about what these large and small bags contained. But she really didn't want to believe that a person like the poet would buy such a large amount of messy things. So, she asked this question in the hope that the poet could give her a reasonable explanation.

The poet avoided Bai Lin's somewhat shocked gaze, turned his head and replied,

"I bought this for you and me. We have work to do tonight, so we need to replenish our sugar intake."

"Your sugar intake is too high, isn't it?!"

Hearing the poet's answer, Bai Lin immediately questioned him. The poet just looked away and lowered his head slightly, showing no intention of facing Bai Lin's question. Helplessly, Bai Lin rubbed his forehead, exhaled, and asked in a much more relaxed tone,

"So, you didn't come to see me today because you were buying these?"

This time, the poet nodded. She faced Bai Lin's question directly and explained in her usual calm and unwavering tone,

"Well, if conditions permit, I originally wanted you to choose it yourself. However, due to the situation in the mirror, I can't interfere at that time, and I can't be with you. So, in case you might be picky about food, I bought a variety of flavors."

"You can predict the future, so how could you not know what I like to eat?! Besides, isn't it basically strawberries and chocolate... You really do have a sweet tooth."

Bai Lin pointed this out, somewhat helplessly, and the poet immediately lowered her head, like a child who had made a mistake, ignoring her parents' reprimand. Yet, there seemed to be a hint of smug joy on her face. What did this mean? Was it joy that her parents hadn't confiscated her right to sweets?

Bai Lin couldn't help but wonder if the poet had been wearing the mask for some other purpose. After she took it off, revealing her face, the girlish feeling she exuded was much more genuine than her own. It was a truly sweet feeling, just like the sweet treat Bai Lin was holding...

That's right, Bai Lin certainly ate the sweets the poet brought. She was not picky about her food, and even in this kind of environment, being able to fill her stomach would still make her feel a lot more comfortable, so there was no way she wouldn't eat.

Besides, what's wrong with accompanying your boss to eat her favorite food?

Thinking of this, Bai Lin, who was sitting side by side with the poet on the school steps, couldn't help but glance over at the poet. He saw her hand reaching out toward him, and when she saw him turn back, her hand flinched slightly in fear. After that moment, Bai Lin saw the ripples in her eyes, and then, through the trembling, they quickly returned to calm.

"There's cream on your face," she said calmly.

"Huh? Oh, thank you."

Bai Lin wiped it on her face, and it was indeed stained on some places, so she didn't think about it anymore. She leaned back slightly, watching the sunset gradually set, and sighed as she leaned back,

"A day has passed. Such an ordinary, yet beautiful day is coming to an end."

"What have you gained today? After all, everything has been normal this morning. The mirror should have provided you with a suitable environment."

The poet asked Bai Lin calmly. Bai Lin laughed twice and then said,

"Yes, of course there is. How could there not be? This mirror is such a great thing. I really can't imagine why people would destroy it. It's so cruel! If it were me, I would just grab it and take it away."

"It's going to be hard to steal it, unless you kill Lydamia and the others first. Besides, this is a trace left by their god, so not everyone can take it easily."

"Is that so?" Bai Lin tilted his head, then smiled again and replied,

"Even if I can't possess it, I probably won't destroy it, even if I'm in opposition. The mirror is really useful. It makes up for some of my past shortcomings, and at the same time, it allows me to look at everything with the eyes of the present."

"How do you say this?"

"That's what I said. If it were me in the past, I would probably stay in a place like this forever. It's so beautiful. No more suffering, mental or physical, everything will just fly away."

As she spoke, Bai Lin danced a little. She looked really happy, maybe because she had eaten some sweets. However, her tone soon became heavier.

"But, after all, this isn't reality. I didn't have such a wonderful campus life back then. Instead, I experienced more suffering and disturbance, a far cry from this idealized world. And beyond that suffering... this world still holds many injustices and unreasonableness. There are still many people who can't live this peaceful life."

"I can't say I'll necessarily help every one of them live a good life. At the very least, they shouldn't be like some people, who from birth have suffered from the pain imposed by others, or who are led to a dead end in their constant struggle, with even their memories and self-identity emptied out, and ultimately sentenced to certain death."

Bai Lin's eyes were slightly closed, as if she was recalling something. Then she clenched her fist and opened her eyes. The bright light that seemed to be able to part the clouds and mist slowly fell from the darkening sky into her determined eyes. She opened her mouth and continued,

"That's why I'll keep fighting. I promised you to stop the chaos in this world. After experiencing this kind of beauty, I've come to realize even more profoundly how damn hateful some people and some things are. After a short rest, it's time to get back to work."

Bai Lin rubbed her hands together, seeming to be very motivated. Her mind was clear and her spirit was high. The poet nodded beside her and said,

"That's true, but we haven't finished dinner yet. If we don't eat well, we won't be able to work well."

Chapter 754 Kill Him First

"Okay, okay, got it. I'll make sure you're well fed before we get back to work, okay?"

Bai Lin reluctantly agreed to the poet's request. The evening breeze blew the two girls' hair. The not-so-brilliant sunset brought with it the delicious feeling of happiness that gradually spread from the tip of the sweet treat to the tip of their tongues. Even though the vast campus was already quite deserted, with only the two people sitting on the steps, a warm feeling already filled the area.

Bai Lin couldn't help but smile as she watched the poet beside her, seemingly enjoying his meal. She thought, "I hope every day will be this happy soon."

After finishing their meal, as night was about to fall, the poet led Bai Lin to the largest teaching building. She was familiar with the place, as if it was not Bai Lin who had attended classes there all day, but she. Soon, the two of them stopped. There was something special about the place they were taken to, and even Bai Lin couldn't help but question it.

"Why are you in the bathroom?"

Yes, the poet took Bai Lin to the toilet. It was a toilet with no odor, cubicles, and looked very clean! The poet turned his head away and answered briefly,

"You'll find out soon."

Such a statement left Bai Lin feeling somewhat bewildered. But since the poet had said so, it must be "immediately." Her tone had returned to normal, suggesting she was in a good mood again. So, it wouldn't be surprising what happened next; he should be prepared.

As Bai Lin pondered this, she was suddenly disturbed by a ground-shaking tremor. From all sides, a cacophony of noises and teeth-grinding piercing sounds inexorably crept into her eardrums. The shrieks of terror, the snapping of rusty blades, and the chaotic cacophony of sounds made her feel as if she could directly witness a series of disturbing images.

In reality, she was surrounded by many disturbing situations. A patchwork of black and red cracks appeared in space, with no pattern or structure. They were like holes formed out of thin air within the world, eroding the original reality and pouring inexplicable contents into the world.

With a surge of information flowing through her mind, Bai Lin's mind was in a trance. When the vibrations beneath her feet stopped, she managed to calm her mind and gradually regained her composure from what had just happened. She focused her eyes slightly and shook her head to clear her mind. But when she looked into the bathroom mirror, she was shocked to find that there seemed to be a drastic change here:

The once pristine toilet now looked old and dilapidated, as if completely renovated. The walls had been scraped away, stained with black dirt and yellow blood. There were even wriggling, seemingly living pieces of flesh, haphazardly spreading throughout the toilet. Their movements even produced pus, a truly unsettling sight.

Of course the lights flickered, the doors and windows were tattered, and flies were everywhere. This restroom was filled with all sorts of disgusting and weird things. This inevitably made Bai Lin feel uncomfortable. Where's my restroom? Where's my clean restroom? How did it become like this?

Anyone else who came here probably wouldn't accept seeing a clean toilet turned into this state. What, you're saying Bai Lin's focus is wrong? Actually, that's true, but this level of disgust doesn't have that much of an impact on her. Considering Bai Lin has fought that plague beast for three hundred rounds and experienced all sorts of messes, even this level of disgust wouldn't make her vomit her dinner. At most, since she wasn't wearing armor this time, if something really bounced off her, she'd subconsciously wipe it off if she had the time.

However, it was indeed strange. The sounds and images of the changes in this toilet left a lot of traces in Bai Lin's mind. It was truly a scene that could be called hell. After arriving here, she couldn't help but have certain associations with the scene just now.

After all, ever since she regained consciousness, there had been strange noises outside. This had forced her to pay attention to the situation outside. But instead of checking it out herself, wasn't there a teammate with a bird's-eye view she could ask?

Thinking this, Bai Lin cast his gaze towards the poet beside him. Fortunately, his boss was still as good-looking as ever, standing straight, and seemed unaffected by the surrounding environment. If she also turned into a piece of meat or something, Bai Lin would really not be able to accept it.

"Where is this? This must be a mess made by the perfect people. Wow, it's disgusting. Otherwise, can you explain what we are going to do next, boss?"

Even when he entered the working state, Bai Lin couldn't help but complain about the situation here. The poet replied,

"Yes, that's what the Perfect People did. The attack on Twilight Township was truly despicable and disgusting... Even if one had foreseen it, seeing it with one's own eyes would still be enough to fill one with disgust."

"I can't fully explain what we're going to do next. My foresight has been somewhat disrupted, making it very disorganized and difficult to compile into useful information to share with you. But there's one thing you can be sure of: as long as you follow this guideline, you won't go wrong."

The poet's tone was extremely calm, and even if he couldn't share any useful information, Bai Lin didn't feel the slightest bit of unreliability. Bai Lin also replied very naturally,

"What is the policy?"

"If you see any living creature other than the two of us, just kill it."

The murderous words coming from the poet's mouth did not make Bai Lin feel so cold. The latter shook his head slightly, looked at the piece of flesh clinging to the wall, and asked,

"Are these...living creatures? Are these the ones we want to kill?"

Just as Bai Lin was half-jokingly probing the question, a chill suddenly ran down her spine. A sharp, rapid scratching sound on the floor instantly gripped Bai Lin's nerves, drawing her gaze to a specific location. The sound clearly came from outside the bathroom, rapidly approaching, causing Bai Lin to tense up.

Chapter 755: Little Cutie Appears

It was like a swarm of little mice tickling your heart. It filled you with disgust and anxiety, and as the frequency increased, the unease deepened. When the sound finally ceased, Bai Lin's eyes couldn't help but blur for a moment. But when he focused his attention and looked outside, the restroom doorway was still empty.

This was naturally a surprising sight. The restroom, once dim and evocative of a sense of unknown and fear, now seemed even quieter and safer. However, Bai Lin's dynamic vision wouldn't allow her to dwell on this self-deceiving silence. Her gaze instantly shifted upward, revealing a narrow, malicious corner hidden within the sense of security.

Above the toilet door, a pair of human-like hands, dry and slender like dead wood, resembled the skeleton of a badger ape, with damaged flesh and fresh blood dripping from them. These hands, grasping the toilet from opposite directions, slowly emerged from behind the upper side of the door, a human-like "body" that looked completely unrelated to the human form.

"Its" body, in a deformed posture, appeared in Bai Lin's sight first from the head, then the body and feet. The body was extremely narrow and long, and it was covered with a mixture of corruption and fear that even crows could not eat.

Furthermore, it didn't always have an accurate image in Bai Lin's eyes. Its appearance wasn't just difficult to describe; it was beyond the capacity of the human brain to grasp. The only thing that was clear was that it had a human form, and its fangs and claws could threaten his life at any moment.

Bai Lin made this judgment. Even though she couldn't even discern the other person's facial features, she still felt that way. Her nerves immediately tensed, and she prepared for a melee. After all, there didn't seem to be any weapons in the surrounding area that Bai Lin could use in battle.

The moment the monster revealed its full form, its body instantly touched the ground, and on all fours, it sprinted towards Bai Lin. Its speed was so fast that Bai Lin, now in the mirror, had no idea he could keep up. But Bai Lin didn't panic at all. With a focused expression, he lightly cushioned his kick, then delivered a powerful kick straight at the opponent's head.

A dull crash, accompanied by a sharp whistle, instantly rang out. The monster's upper body trembled from the kick, and its flailing claws failed to scratch Bai Lin's body. However, Bai Lin's attack didn't seem to cause the opponent too much damage. It was like hitting an iron pipe with a baseball bat. You can't say that there are no marks on it at all. There are dents and scratches. Even if there is no leakage, they are still actual scars. But the defense is obviously not that broken. Even if the yellow-brown liquid seeps out of the monster and splashes on the edge of Bai Lin's leg, she doesn't think she has dealt with it.

Bai Lin quickly switched his power kick with his main kick, then stepped forward, using the momentum from before to forcefully kick the monster up a bit more. He then pressed his entire body forward, taking advantage of the creature's claws flailing freely to strike with his elbows and punches, delivering as much impact as possible. He then took a deep breath and unleashed a flurry of standard punches.

The monster's limbs were clearly longer than his own. Even without a clear view of its exact length, he estimated it to be over three meters. Theoretically, it would be difficult for him to defeat such an opponent unarmed. However, since the other party had chosen to abandon his length advantage by foolishly crawling forward, Bai Lin naturally had to seize this opportunity.

In such a confined space, if the monster were to launch an attack, there was no telling what would happen. The most important thing right now wasn't gathering intelligence, but rather completely killing the enemy and opening up the situation.

With this thought in mind, Bai Lin, filled with murderous intent, immediately unleashed her own mortal body to its fullest potential. She paid no heed to the disgusting spray of flesh and blood, unleashing her fierce attacks like a torrential downpour, raining down relentlessly on the monster. This was the feeling of a butcher wielding a blunt knife. If one strike wasn't enough, then a few more would be in order, ultimately ripping the opponent limb from limb and completely obliterating him.

However, Bai Lin had no idea where the monster's weak spot was. Even after battling it for so long, she still couldn't quite discern it. This was a different world, after all, and she couldn't take things for granted. She'd seen creatures with weak points at the end of their little toes before. So, she didn't resort to trickery, attempting to crush the opponent completely with sheer force.

It would be better to say that Bai Lin’s “skill” is to unleash his violence to the greatest extent.

This continuous attack suddenly came to a halt. After Bai Lin had forced the monster from its four-legged stance into a bipedal position, its retreating steps gradually slowed down, as if it had recovered from the initial shock. Soon, it condensed its claws and swung forward with great force, launching a devastating counterattack. But Bai Lin's figure vanished from the spot.
