Reincarnation Paradise Park-Chapter 879 - 9: Jealousy
"Message? Specific content."
Although Su Xiao knew who was looking for him, he still played dumb appropriately. He had seen many ’prophetic’ Contractors, and their outcomes were usually tragic. Plot characters aren’t fools, nor are they NPCs; they are individuals with strong abilities, personal will, and mostly meticulous thinking.
"Come see me, that’s all. So follow me, and remember, you can’t harm me. Maintain a safe distance of 3 meters... no, 10 meters."
Yukidaseki Tanxi was naive; with Su Xiao’s advancing ability, ten meters was indeed not safe.
Su Xiao dropped the cigarette butt he was holding, thought for a moment, and nodded.
"Sure, it’s said he’s an important person. Acting rashly here without his permission would indeed be inappropriate, besides, what I have to do will benefit both parties."
Su Xiao got up, and Yukidaseki Tanxi held a military flashlight in her hand, which could be used as a club in combat and also supported her spatial ability.
"Keep the safe distance. You’re dangerous to a delicate girl like me."
Yukidaseki Tanxi twisted the military flashlight in her hand. Her special identity was as a ’guide,’ responsible for receiving the uninvited guests entering Academy City through unorthodox channels.
Yukidaseki Tanxi opened the rooftop door and walked downstairs. She wouldn’t use spatial ability to move herself unless necessary.
Shirai Kuroko’s appearance was entirely orchestrated by Yukidaseki Tanxi. She was the one who called Shirai Kuroko and also the one who leaked the information to her.
Not long after Su Xiao fought with Maiye Shenli and others, Yukidaseki Tanxi arrived. She was about to intervene and stop the battle but witnessed the scene where Su Xiao slit Maiye Shenli’s throat, which made her hesitate—if she appeared at that moment, would Su Xiao slit her throat as well?
Because of this, Yukidaseki Tanxi contacted Shirai Kuroko, who was also a spatial ability user and liked to fight for justice.
The two didn’t know each other, but as fellow Lv.4 space-type great power users, Yukidaseki Tanxi had noticed Shirai Kuroko long ago and became jealous after some investigation.
That’s right, jealous. Yukidaseki Tanxi was jealous that Shirai Kuroko could live carefree, study, and fight for justice every day.
As a fellow space-related great power user, Yukidaseki Tanxi had to live in ’darkness,’ where the people she met daily were either heartless killers or researchers driven to madness.
Jealousy makes people ugly, but Yukidaseki Tanxi wasn’t ugly; she just played the villain anonymously, contacting Shirai Kuroko to save people (her sacrifice). After Su Xiao killed all the enemies, she would appear when he calmed down a bit.
Events proceeded according to Yukidaseki Tanxi’s plan, but she felt disappointed as Su Xiao didn’t fully chase Shirai Kuroko, resulting in her failed attempt at using others to kill.
What Yukidaseki Tanxi didn’t know was that Su Xiao didn’t fully chase Shirai Kuroko because of her presence.
The secret pattern branded on Su Xiao’s Lan Kai Windcoat could be considered the nemesis of most space-type abilities.
Branding Effect (light gold): Basic Spatial Imprisonment: Can ban spatial fluctuations within fifty meters. Space-type skills of fifth tier or below become ineffective within this zone. The effect lasts for 30 minutes, and its cooldown time is 2 natural days.
...
Shirai Kuroko’s spatial ability requires skin contact to conduct spatial movement, whereas Yukidaseki Tanxi is different. She doesn’t need to touch the object she wants to move; as long as it’s within her sight, whether human or object, she can move it—up to a distance of 800 meters, with a weight limit of 4520 kilograms.
In comparison to Shirai Kuroko’s spatial ability, Yukidaseki Tanxi’s ability is much stronger and poses a greater threat.
Su Xiao’s previous chase didn’t employ the space imprisonment secret pattern to prevent Yukidaseki Tanxi’s ability.
Imagine if Yukidaseki Tanxi moved Su Xiao to a very dangerous place, like a pool of sulfuric acid, or 800 meters underground; careless mistakes could cost his life, as he’s just flesh and blood, not Superman.
Having such a dangerous space system ability user around, if Su Xiao had used the space imprisonment rune while chasing Shirai Kuroko earlier, it would have been very unwise. Moreover, why Shirai Kuroko appeared remains a mystery to Su Xiao.
Passing by? Don’t be ridiculous. Would a middle schooler wander near an abandoned factory at 10 pm? To pick up scrap metal? Impossible. To meet a boyfriend privately? Even less likely. Shirai Kuroko had a near-obsessive love for the third Railgun, viewing all males as undeveloped ’near human apes.’
Yukidaseki Tanxi walked ahead of Su Xiao, feeling inexplicably cold behind her, causing her to stop.
"You..."
Just as Yukidaseki Tanxi halted, Su Xiao’s single hand formed into a claw, the space imprisonment secret pattern at his sleeve glowing, ready to lock the space at any moment.
The atmosphere became tense, Yukidaseki Tanxi had her back facing Su Xiao.
"You... just now... wanted to kill me, didn’t you."
Yukidaseki Tanxi froze in place, not daring to move, knowing that any abnormal behavior would allow Su Xiao to show her the difference in their physical capabilities.
"No, you’re overthinking it."
Su Xiao smiled softly, his smile as warm and gentle as could be.
Seeing Su Xiao’s smile in the corner of her eye, goosebumps rose on Yukidaseki Tanxi’s arm, and she quickly walked forward.
After they descended the stairs, Bubu Wang, who had been waiting downstairs for a while, ran up to them. Bubu Wang’s silky smooth fur plus 53 points of charm attributes were akin to a female ’killer.’
Sure enough, Yukidaseki Tanxi looked at Bubu Wang, who returned a contemptuous gaze, as if to say: "Woman, don’t be infatuated with me, I am the aloof male god you will never attain."
Yukidaseki Tanxi couldn’t understand Bubu Wang’s meaning, but vaguely felt that she seemed to be scorned by a dog.
"Even a dog dares to look down on me, let me give you a small lesson."
Yukidaseki Tanxi turned on the military flashlight, ready to teach Bubu Wang a lesson.
Suddenly, Yukidaseki Tanxi’s body trembled, the once warm Academy City now felt cold and eerie.
Yukidaseki Tanxi stiffly turned her head to find Su Xiao standing in the dark staircase behind her, red glows flickering in the darkness, those were Su Xiao’s eyes.
Bubu Wang eagerly ran to Su Xiao’s front, wagging its tail, and seeing this, Yukidaseki Tanxi knew what was going on.
"I was just kidding about the small lesson..."
Cold sweat dripped down Yukidaseki Tanxi’s cheek. That tangible light red aura made her shiver—it was her first time witnessing killing intent condensed to a visible degree.
"Is that so? Then let’s go meet that important person."
"Alright."
Yukidaseki Tanxi resumed leading the way, much more honest now, reining in her little schemes.
Bubu Wang barked at Su Xiao, who turned to look at Bubu Wang.
"Woof."
"Hmm? You captured an enemy?"
Su Xiao was somewhat puzzled.
"Woof woof."
Bubu Wang appeared smug, as if seeking praise, its squinty eyes always on Su Xiao.
"That wavy blonde woman? No need to bother with her."
They headed towards the center of The Seventh School District, aiming for a very peculiar building.
...
Inside an abandoned garage, the air was filled with the smell of dust. A girl was bound tightly, lying inside the garage, the same girl who had earlier run away, Flenda Severen.
"Mmm... mmm..."
Flenda Severen squirmed, her pale cheek faintly showing bite marks. After successfully escaping earlier, she was ambushed by Bubu Wang. Following a ’fair and just’ battle, Flenda Severen was captured.
Flenda Severen now just wanted to find a block of tofu and end her shameful existence; as a Lv.4 great power user, a major member of the ’Item’ organization, she ended up captured by a dog.
"Mmm (Such humiliation)"
With a clatter, the garage door was pulled open, and a man with a ’coffin’ on his back walked in.
"Young lady, you seem to need help? God said we must cherish life."
Flenda Severen’s eyes widened in fear; she wanted to ridicule the coffin man—could he put down the dripping, pitiful-looking head before preaching?
