A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 876 - 862: The Little Girl in Red

In front of them, a little girl dressed in red was moving a large stone. Her tiny body was completely disproportionate to the massive rock in front of her, much like a kitten trying to pull a cart.

In such a bizarre situation, the sudden appearance of such a strange little girl set off a sense of danger for both Baiyu and Tian Haobin. It was too creepy for this little girl to be here, especially with her actions being so mysterious.

With the intent to avoid danger, they started to move away from there, avoiding passing through that area. After all, the holy Purple Crystal School had numerous paths leading to the place where the Yimu Master was located. However, who would have thought that after changing direction and walking some distance, they would encounter the red-dressed little girl again.

She was still strenuously dragging a large stone.

Looking at her posture.

She really exerted herself to the utmost, like a nursing child giving all its might.

Baiyu and Tian Haobin both felt a chill rising in their hearts; unless this little girl could teleport, it was impossible for her to get ahead of them.

"It seems like there's no escaping this. I suspect that no matter which path we take, we would run into her. In this Simulation Realm, too many oddities exist; avoiding it is impossible," Baiyu said, giving the girl a heavy look and then speaking to Tian Haobin.

Though there was no sound to hear, Tian Haobin was becoming accustomed to communicating through lip movements and facial expressions; he instantly understood Baiyu's meaning.

It was time to make a move on the little girl ahead.

He gave the girl a glance, hesitated for a moment, then resolutely nodded his head.

Once they reached a consensus, they rushed out simultaneously from left and right, with Baiyu holding a shimmering Great Guan Blade, which was none other than the Living Iron Greatsword.

Living Iron was not only hard but also capable of blocking Extraordinary Power. In the Simulation Realm, the Living Iron Greatsword was more practical than the Infinite Shape Chainsaw Blade. Without hesitation, Baiyu raised the sword, Blood Qi erupting in his arm, and aimed a strike at the little girl.

In this kind of environment, in this kind of atmosphere, how could that little girl possibly be a normal human being?

Tian Haobin also hardened his heart, instantly erupting with Blood Qi, and two huge Fireballs shot towards the little girl like meteorites. Both of them, one from the left and one from the right, unleashed fatal moves with no reservations, aiming to kill her in one strike.

The effect was significantly good.

In such a sudden violent eruption, the little girl couldn't dodge at all. She first received a frightening wound from Baiyu's blade, then Tian Haobin's two Fireballs hit her, burning most of the skin on her body.

Yet, despite such severe injuries, the little girl continued to move the giant stone as if nothing had happened, neither screaming nor acknowledging Baiyu and Tian Haobin, treating them as though they were air.

This eerie scene took both of them aback.

What was happening?

Was moving this stone so important that it was worth sacrificing her life?

Though the situation was strange, Baiyu and Tian Haobin could ascertain that the little girl in front of them was no ordinary figure.

Baiyu gave Tian Haobin a look, and then both of them started to approach the little girl.

Puu, puu.

Upon nearing the little girl, they were surprised to find they could hear sound, it was the sound of the little girl urging herself on while moving the stone. Just like those boat pullers in the past, coordinating their efforts while pulling the boat ashore, always chanting slogans.

To coordinate with other pullers and to boost their own morale.

The girl now, was like a puller.

Though they could speak and hear sounds, Baiyu and Tian Haobin unanimously chose to remain silent to avoid any unforeseeable changes.

But then.

Soon, the girl, having moved the stone halfway without success, sat down on the ground as if deflating.

Baiyu and Tian Haobin silently observed all this.

Tian Haobin gestured and mouthed: "It seems like this little girl can't detect us."

It really seemed that way.

The little girl moved the big stone as if no one was watching, seemingly unable to sense anything else. Yet just after Tian Haobin finished, the girl suddenly looked up sharply at Baiyu: "Brother, can you help me, help me move this stone away? It presses me so painfully, so painfully."

The childish voice, untouched by age, entered the ears of Baiyu and Tian Haobin. Her pitiable appearance with rope-marked red hands and big eyes welling with tears, made her seem like a truly innocent little girl.

Yet, her words were chilling.

Baiyu was silent for a moment, then plastered a smile on his face, akin to a shady uncle tricking a child with candy: "Don't be scared; the pain will end soon. Let big brother help you and relieve the pain once and for all."

"Brother, help me..."

The little girl continued to look at him pitifully, extending hands that emanated a chilling aura towards Baiyu.

However, before her hand could reach Baiyu, a scorching fist, carrying a terrifying gust, surged forward.

Boom!

With one punch, the girl's head was blown apart. Yet inside her head, there was nothing—no blood, no tissue, no bones, only an empty shell of a head. The previous attacks Baiyu and Tian Haobin launched at her were just the same.

This was truly something uncanny.

Her head exploded with a single punch; even if this girl was strange, she couldn't possibly survive that. Just as Baiyu said, they had really helped her be free. However, just when Baiyu and Tian Haobin were about to approach the little girl's corpse for a closer look,

they suddenly discovered that the girl wasn't a flesh and blood person, but rather seemed to be a paper figure.

"Bah, how unlucky, how could it be this thing? Who on earth is behind these spooky tricks?"

Tian Haobin exclaimed with an angry expression.

Then he suddenly covered his mouth. Beside the remains of this paper figure, they were truly able to speak.

It seemed that the special nature of the Simulation Realm couldn't affect the area around the paper figure.

"There are two possibilities: one, this paper figure was originally an ordinary paper figure, but under the Simulation Realm's influence, within its surreal setting, it became polluted and turned into a special monster."

Baiyu logically analyzed: "The other possibility is that this paper figure was deliberately placed here by someone. In truth, verifying this is simple; if we move away that stone, we'll know the truth."

Having said this,

Baiyu and Tian Haobin's gaze unanimously focused on the large green stone in front of them.

The stone was naturally round, a perfect oval, covered with colorful mottled patterns, which made one feel uncomfortable at a glance.
