Chapter 1591: Chapter 475: Weak in the Knees
"Uh..."
After an unknown amount of time, Aria rubbed her eyes dreamily and lifted her gaze.
Although her body had started moving, her consciousness was still in a daze from sleep, and she began to call out the names of those she depended on,
"Mom... sob... Yan Huan... where are you guys..."
"..."
But after waiting for a while without a response, she became a little more awake and glanced at the clock in the classroom.
It was still lunchtime.
This rare free time would last until two in the afternoon, and naturally, there were not many people in the classroom.
Aria pouted and took out her phone.
No matter how clueless she was, she knew something was wrong when Yan Huan hadn’t replied for several days.
And more suspiciously, Yan Huan hadn’t sent any messages during these days.
"Buzz... buzz..."
After scrolling through the messages multiple times, Aria pouted in frustration just as the lights in the classroom began to flicker mysteriously.
"Hmm?"
In the corridor, the lights extinguished one by one. Fortunately, it was noon, so despite the partly cloudy sky, it was still relatively bright.
Aria frowned and suspiciously looked toward the door.
The next moment, the whiteboard in the classroom turned off, and the security camera flashed with a ghostly purple light.
It was as if an invisible net was carefully closing in on Aria, wrapping her completely within it.
"Buzz..."
On Aria’s wrist, the monitoring bracelet of the Golden Lion Group was swallowed by the purple light, indicating it was taken over by some mysterious force.
Just as Aria was cautiously trying to leave the classroom, a soft voice suddenly called from behind her,
"Spencer..."
"Eek!"
Aria jumped in surprise and instinctively threw a punch behind her.
"Whoosh!"
In an instant, the powerful punch gust brushed past the tip of Ye Shiyu’s nose, ruffling a few strands of her long black hair at her temple.
Yet she remained motionless, merely staring at Aria.
"Ye... Ye Shiyu?"
Aria blinked, lowering her guard little by little as she faced the suddenly appearing "eagle".
If it were the past, even if Ye Shiyu had given up the modifier, Aria would never have reacted like this.
But...
For some unknown reason, Ye Shiyu felt different to Aria today.
Previously, her feathers would bristle, her gaze sharp and ice-cold, looking very aggressive...
But today, her feathers lay neatly, her gaze no longer piercing, though not exactly gentle either...
It could be described as firm and loving?
"Uh..."
Noticing the difference, Aria subconsciously looked down at Ye Shiyu’s feet, wanting to see if the eagle was hatching any eggs...
Unfortunately, she saw nothing.
"What’s up?"
"...Nothing, really."
Aria blinked and withdrew her gaze, fully relaxing her defensive stance,
"Aren’t you... in the second year... no, third year? Right, you’re in the third year, aren’t you? Why are you in the second-year department?"
"I came to find you."
"...Why are you looking for me?"
Ye Shiyu glanced at the deactivated bracelet on her wrist and softly said,
"It’s about Xiao Huan."
"!!"
These words struck a chord deep within Aria, causing her eyes to instantly widen in excitement.
...
...
"It’s up to you later, Meow."
"Got it, Meow!"
Meanwhile, within the school, the assembled Sakuragi Hitomi and three others arrived outside the courtyard on the first floor of the second-year department.
Mentally prepared and having confirmed their target, they naturally began their actions.
The first step was to establish contact with Aria.
However, with the exception of Sakuragi Hitomi, everyone else’s expressions were less than cheerful.
Because on the way, Sakuragi Hitomi mentioned that "Ye Shiyu is now beside Yan Huan helping him complete a ritual".
"That Ye Shiyu..."
An Le had always had issues with Ye Shiyu. Only because of Yan Huan didn’t she show it, at most burying it inside and outwardly ignoring Ye Shiyu.
But now that Yan Huan was absent, her dissatisfaction with Ye Shiyu started to spill out again.
Tong Yingying had also seen Ye Shiyu a few times before, not enough to form a good impression, but she was impressed by Ye Shiyu’s capabilities.
After all, Tong Yingying had confidence in her own skills. Previously in Ying Country, Ye Shiyu could parry a few moves even without hypnosis, naturally surprising her.
"..."
As for Bai Yi...
On one hand, she was annoyed with Ye Shiyu’s oppressive demeanor and unclear thinking; on the other hand, she was conflicted, wondering if there was some hidden story...
But seeing An Le’s displeased expression, she refrained from mentioning this, deciding instead to privately try to contact her.
"..."
In any case, they decided not to move further from outside the teaching building. Instead, Sakuragi Hitomi crouched and instructed Meow,
"There’s an important matter to pay attention to, Meow. The Golden Lion Group has a remarkable product: a bracelet embedded with nano-robots that monitor various body metrics in real time.
"Theoretically, this device could even monitor what happens around Aria in real time.
"These are turbulent times, and Alvira will certainly keep a close watch on what happens around Aria, so avoid making direct verbal contact, as it would surely draw Alvira’s attention."
Meow pondered for a moment and looked at Bai Yi, saying,
"I can actually talk to her directly inside her mind, but I’m afraid her ability to accept might cause her to panic, Meow..."
Tong Yingying crossed her arms and looked at Meow, saying flatly,
