Book 4: Chapter 18: Blue Poison
Kal’tsit: Deal with it? How do I deal with it? Although I know these are just rumors, how do I convince the other operators?
He Who Knows Fate: Alright, there’s no way to deal with this. Trying might just deepen the impression of these operators on the ordinary operators.
Kal’tsit: Are you sure you want to go there?
He Who Knows Fate: I’m going! Of course, I’m going. Why would I not go to such a good place? Since the other operators fear them, Exusiai would fear them too. Isn’t this better? Furthermore, even if these were not just rumors and they were real monsters, would I be afraid? I just need to fire my Electromagnetic Sniper Rifle once to teach them a lesson.
Faillen Angel Gabriel: If things really don’t work out, you can come to me for help. Don’t look at me like this. Before my internship in the human world, I was Heaven’s valedictorian.
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Why did you fall?
Faillen Angel Gabriel: One day, I came across Internet gaming…
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Say no more. I understand.
Blank Never Loses: Wait, wait! Internet gaming would like to say it bears no responsibility.
He Who Knows Fate: Alright. I’m going to block D, room 412. Kal’tsit, remember not to tell Exusiai this address.
Kal’tsit: We’ll see.
He Who Knows Fate: We’ll see…then at least inform me when you tell her.
Kal’tsit: That is possible.
He Who Knows Fate: You are too pragmatic.
Knock-knock-knock!
The sound of knocking pulled Chen Heng out of the chat.
“Amiya, are you there? I’m Exusiai! Can you open the door? I have something to ask you.”
Hey, they came so quickly? No, I’ve got to run, fast!
“Amiya, I’m leaving first.”
“You are leaving already? Don’t you want to meet Exusiai? She is also a Sniper, like you.”
No, no, no! Chen Heng came to Amiya’s office to hide from Exusiai. Meeting Exusiai now would be seeking death. No matter her reason for seeking him, he did not want to meet her now.
Chen Heng was genuinely afraid Exusiai would take out her submachine gun and shoot him. While it would not hurt him, it would be troublesome. Furthermore, he could not retaliate, as he was the one in the wrong.
“No, thanks. I have something urgent on and have to go first. I’ll return to my dorm room now. You know which one, right?”
“Block A, room 305, I recall Kal’tsit specially arranged that for you. Your roommate, Adnachiel, is a very nice person.”
“Great. If you want to find me, you can go to that room. If others ask which room I am in, just tell them block A, room 305.”
Chen Heng even put up a smokescreen before leaving so he could delay Exusiai and buy himself more time. Unfortunately, this would put Amiya on the spot.
“Oh, right, Amiya, which direction is dormitory block D in?” Chen Heng realized he did not know block D’s location just before he spatial jumped.
“That way.”
------
“Amiya, did a Sniper called He Who Knows Fate meet with you earlier?”
As soon as Exusiai entered, she voiced her purpose.
“Oh! You are looking for He Who Knows Fate? He just left. I think he returned to his dormitory.”
“Which dormitory is He Who Knows Fate in?”
“Block A, room 305.”
“Thank you, Amiya. Let’s go, Texas. Let’s look for him.”
Amiya watched as Exusiai and Texas stormed in and out, staying for less than 20 seconds.
Chen Heng felt immense regret. He regretted not asking Amiya for a map of Rhodes Island; now, he was lost.
Right now, he needed a person who could bring him to block D.
Chen Heng had gone to block D yesterday, but the sky had already been dark then. Furthermore, he had spatial jumped a few times today, making him lose his bearings.
“Miss, may I ask if you know where dormitory block D is?” Fortunately, Chen Heng saw a passing operator on this desolate path just as he was lost.
Chen Heng noticed this female operator’s primarily blue clothes and pink hair. His first thought was “the pinker the hair, the more vicious their insults.”
This was because of the Dimension Administrators Association. He had read up on many comics and noticed that women with pink hair should not be offended, as normal girls would not get pink hair.
“Are you a new operator in Rhodes Island?” The pink-haired lady did not immediately answer Chen Heng’s question. Instead, she replied with a strange question.
“Hello! I’m He Who Knows Fate. I arrived in Rhodes Island yesterday and formally joined today.” Chen Heng extended his hand for a handshake.
“Hello! I’m Blue Poison.” Blue Poison looked at Chen Heng’s proffered right hand. She hesitated for a while before grabbing his hand.

How soft…
“Coincidentally, I stay in block D. Come with me.”
“Really? This is great.”
------
“He Who Knows Fate, this is already the fourth floor. Why are you still following me?”
“My room is on the fourth floor; where else would I go? However, I truly did not expect you stayed on the fourth floor too.” Chen Heng sized up Blue Poison, unable to tell what was special about her.
“Were you assigned to the fourth floor, or did you ask for it?”
“Ah! I was initially assigned to block A, room 305. However, I changed it to this place to hide from someone. Furthermore, I stayed on the fourth floor last night, but I did not see you then. Somehow, the fourth floor felt very quiet; I thought no one lived here.”
“So, that’s the case! It’s normal that you saw no one last night. There are people staying on the fourth floor, but everyone happens to be sleeping or has some peculiarities. By the way, which room are you in?”
“412. You?”
“410.”
“So we are neighbors! Do come over when you have time.” This cute young lady is my neighbor. Although she cannot be my waifu, she is very pretty.
“About that…”
“What’s wrong?” Chen Heng walked to his door and was about to enter when Blue Poison said something.
“Nothing. Go to your room.”
“See you tonight, then. Oh, right, let’s go to the canteen together for dinner. Remember to call me, alright?”
“Sure.” Blue Poison nodded.
Blue Poison returned to her room and lay on her bed. She stopped Chen Heng earlier because she wanted to tell him about herself. However, she said nothing in the end; rather, she wanted this friendship to last a little longer.
