Chapter 318 : The Last Girl's Resolve
"It's over, completely over!"
Though the competition upstairs had officially ended, Zhou Mixue felt a bone-chilling coldness.
No matter how she looked at it, she felt something was wrong.
After all, which girls would carry Lonis on their backs and race on all fours across the floor?
Though it was somewhat touching...
Though it was somewhat inexplicably exciting...
But it was also too strange!
......
What made Zhou Mixue feel even stranger was everyone's current behavior. They all seemed completely immersed, showing no sense of incongruity whatsoever.
Lonis and Zhou Suling aside, but even Elucia, Yicheng, and Princess Sethilu were doing this.
This proved everyone's state was definitely abnormal.
So that meant...
"Is it that qi deviation cultivation method? Did it affect everyone?"
Guessing this possibility, Zhou Mixue felt even more afraid... because if this were true, there might not be many normal people left on this ship.
"Could it be that only I'm left on this ship? Wuu wuu... no, how scary..."
Though Zhou Mixue wasn't particularly timid, she had come aboard because she trusted everyone so much.
Her positioning was also very clear—just write the navigation log daily and record observations... basically just odd jobs that didn't require much effort.
Combat wasn't her turn, decision-making wasn't her turn either. She just needed to control her sister at crucial moments~~
But now...
Only I'm left?
Perhaps only I can save everyone?
The pressure suddenly fell on Zhou Mixue's shoulders, making her almost unable to breathe.
But even so, Zhou Mixue didn't retreat. She could only take trembling steps, gradually walking downstairs.
A beautiful girl's sixth sense told her that the source of all disaster should come from the underground prison, where she might find the key to unlock everything.
"Zhou Mixue, do your best... as everyone's hope, you absolutely can't lose!"
......
(So that's the source of all chaos, the fateful tablet source?)
Looking at that metal square placed against the wall, Zhou Mixue felt her heart pounding.
If her finger touched that glass flickering with ancient light, what would happen?
Would she also be cursed?
Or would she die instantly?
But she couldn't not touch it.
Because the only way to solve the mystery was here, so
The girl's finger touched the screen, and the sudden sound startled her:
"Wahh, finally connected!"
"Ah?"
Zhou Mixue blinked, because the little loli on screen looked very anxious, almost jumping up:
"Don't suddenly press pause! I hadn't finished saying the important things. When the course is halfway through and can't proceed, the machine will dial customer service."
"Ah, ah sorry..."
Zhou Mixue had no idea what was happening and instinctively apologized.
But after seeing Zhou Mixue clearly, the little loli just put her hands on her hips and said:
"Eh, you're not that black-haired little loli from the previous record. You're a new beautiful girl. Are you her lover?"
"Uh..."
"But lately so many people have come to study the cultivation method~~ I can't even rest properly."
"Eh... eh?!"
Zhou Mixue blinked. Only now did she realize that this little loli on screen wasn't a pre-recorded video, but was trying to talk with her!
So that meant...
"You... could you be the Sun Loli Goddess?"
Looking at the little loli in the image, Zhou Mixue was shocked.
Golden hair, cute big eyes—if she remembered correctly, she looked exactly like Iris, the loli goddess who originally founded Clear Academy.
"Eh, you don't know? Haven't you studied the previous lessons?"
"Lessons... I-I don't know. I suddenly pressed a button and saw you..."
"Ah ah, really! The previous student was so careless, just throwing the device around carelessly. How awful, not respecting my intellectual crystallization at all."
The little loli on screen looked very angry, as if she really wanted to come out and teach someone a lesson.
This scared Zhou Mixue into quickly saying: "Ah, ah ah! Iris Loli Goddess, ac-actually she probably didn't mean it. It's just... she seems to have become a bit strange now."
"Strange...?"
"Yes, like a little loli, somewhat reckless."
"Isn't she already a little loli?"
"Eh?"
"Though customer service was called by the machine just now, the previous student who pressed pause was already a little loli, right?"
"That..."
Hearing this, Zhou Mixue didn't know how to explain... Though Elucia looked like a little loli on the outside, she was over a hundred years old.
So she could only say:
"That, the previous student is a legal loli?"
"Legal loli... you mean like me, clearly old but still acting very cute?"
"Ah... yes, more or less?"
Zhou Mixue nodded, though she felt like by confirming this, she had somehow offended two people at once.
"Sigh, I understand. She's probably in a state called 'Loli Delusion.'"
"Loli Delusion?"
"Yes, but this isn't a psychological disorder, it's a realm in cultivation practice. I don't recommend you forcibly interrupt it, but rather pamper her."
"Eh...?"
"Because many people deeply miss the happiness of being a child, right? Having parental love, playing with little friends, the whole world being unknown and novel, no difficulties able to stop your progress."
"!"
"So, take this time to cherish her well... (Just then, the image suddenly flickered) ...eh, what's happening? Is the communication being interfered with?!"
"Lady Iris?"
Zhou Mixue quickly gripped the tablet, but the image on screen became increasingly distorted, her movements becoming choppy.
The little loli showed a panicked expression. She seemed to want to tell Zhou Mixue something, but it was already too late.
"Quick... signal... you want... wuu wuu... woof!"
Then that golden-haired little loli disappeared.
And on the screen, a line of large text reappeared.
Customer service has ended, please rate this service:
Iris's cuteness: ☆☆☆☆☆
Iris's height: ☆☆☆☆☆

......
......
Zhou Mixue was completely confused, but just then.
The Time Shuttle's speakers rang out, and the one calling was Luozhi Sheng in the pilot house:
"Enemies incoming, Commander, how should we respond?!"
