Chapter 624: Chapter 623: When the Villain Becomes a Saintly Savior
The two of them are talking like they’re performing a comedy sketch, really giving off a vibe like they’d rather get eliminated and go out for seaweed egg drop soup.
It feels like something Mu Qiu would do.
The photographer is so anxious, poking his head out from behind the camera, shaking his head and murmuring, "You guys can’t just slack off."
Mu Qiu leans against the locker like a corpse, pretending she didn’t hear, and loudly asks, "Huh? Photographer Bro, what did you say? Did you say you think the same way?"
The photographer is speechless, retreats behind the camera, and stops talking to her.
He looked really aggrieved.
Mu Qiu and Zhao Yu seemed to find something funny, leaned together and laughed out loud.
After laughing, they bowed their heads and sighed again.
Zhao Yu: "This might be the last bit of joy for poor people at the end of the world, laughter that can’t hide the bitterness."
Mu Qiu: "Alright, the performance is over."
"Okay."
The two immediately flipped up and squatted to continue studying how to unlock the lock, as if the sighing session just now never happened.
The photographer is left speechless once again.
Key 19 smoothly opened locker 19, so smoothly that Mu Qiu felt the contents inside couldn’t be important.
As everyone knows, to find the protagonist’s key clues, you must face a thousand difficulties. Conversely, anything you find easily isn’t important.
After the locker door was opened, there was another book inside.
But this time it was a diary, at least it didn’t have any eye-searing drawings.
They sat cross-legged together, holding and reading the diary together, one hand each.
"April 28th, sunny, bright sunshine, but my heart is bleak, like an old ditch full of water, like an old towel you can’t wring dry... Whose style is this? I can hardly stand it."
For a long time, nothing important was mentioned.
"Don’t worry, keep reading, just treat it like you’re reading Lin’s diary."
Anyway, it looks very much like her style.
"April 29th, overcast. It seems the sky felt my mood, becoming as gloomy as the weather in my heart. I know some people are really annoying, but they’re human like us, with the same rights, so they deserve to live, and I must save them.
May 1st, sunny. Today my wallet fell, and the people I helped were all finding it for me, showing that what I do every day is right. In the end, a student found it and returned it. Students these days are getting more and more well-behaved, tall and thin, with a shy smile.
May 3rd, rainy. My heart now is like these leaves being mercilessly pounded by rain, lost and helpless. I didn’t expect that student to like me, nor did I expect Xiao Yu to like him. What should I do?
May 5th, sunny. I decided to fulfill their relationship. Who am I? I’m Teacher Xiao Qiu. I care about more than just him, my love should be broad and vast, and not limited to just one person..."
Mu Qiu pressed the diary onto Zhao Yu’s lap: "I really can’t read this anymore. What kind of silly sweet Nuwa descendant script is this?"
"If that Xiao Yu isn’t supposed to be hinting at me, I’d find this diary quite interesting.
From this, we can clearly see a one-sided love triangle involving Xiao Li, Teacher Xiao Qiu, and Teacher Xiao Yu.
In just a few days, Teacher Xiao Qiu decided to fulfill others, choosing to love more people. Ah, what a loving Nuwa descendant."
This is obviously mockery.
"...Let me see the later pages."
Flipping straight to the end, the timing is roughly after the apocalypse struck, so the handwriting is a bit sloppy, but finally lacks those cringe-worthy phrases.
"May 29th, abnormally sunny. I really tried my best. The whole world has gone mad, and the number of people I can save is limited. Watching those people howl as they die, my heart aches to the point where I can’t breathe.
May 31st, still sunny. It seems, I suddenly have a special ability."
This is the last sentence in the diary.
Unexpectedly, from so many diary entries, only the last sentence is of any use.
The two exchanged a glance, closed the diary, and placed it back in the locker.
"You have a special ability."
Mu Qiu nodded: "I hope it’s the Water Ability or the Food system."
"Sometimes when people get too hot, they go nuts and become unclear-minded."
"....." She pouted, "But didn’t I already try it on Guo Yin? It didn’t work. Are you telling me, Guo Yin’s departure was really because 049 was on a break, having a meal and taking a nap on the way to claim lives?"
"Who said it had to be a betrayer, there’s still a very high-profile identity, isn’t there?"
Mu Qiu paused.
No way?!
She widened her eyes, looked incredulously at Zhao Yu, and after getting a confirming nod, turned her head to look at the camera.
"The Purifier identity you arranged for me?!"
What is this called? Having the heart of a villain but being forced to take a saintly savior’s script?
The production team really knows her tastes, specifically arranging a character setting she dislikes.
Zhao Yu patted her shoulder, quipped, "Silly child, this character setting is great, it can highlight your uniqueness. You’re Teacher Xiao Qiu, after all, your love should be vast, grand, and fair."
She couldn’t even laugh anymore, her mouth mechanically twisted.
"From my angle, if I were to give this episode a trending sub-title, I’d call it ’When the Villain Becomes a Saintly Savior’."
No, it should be ’The Painful Days After the Villain Turns Into a Saintly Savior’.
[This subtitle is quite fitting]
[Mu Qiu just wants to be a betrayer hahahaha the production team knows her too well]
[Draw your sword, I’m also a loving descendant of Nuwa/dog head]
[Whose card was this? A step to ascend]
[Listen to me, quit playing, let’s end this early and drink tea and eat noodles with Brother Huai and the others]
[A pot of seaweed egg drop soup really makes me hungry]
[A good life is finding an egg and drinking a pot of seaweed egg drop soup, so bittersweet]
[You two should stay here, it suits you]
[I just ordered spicy hot pot, this standard of living could almost be called rolling in riches?]
[Brother Cheng carefully filled it with snacks, uuuhhhhhh, my wishful thinking has become someone else’s]
[This countdown in the background makes me feel uncomfortable]
[Let me guess who found this One Net Card, is it Li Yang?]
[I vote for Shu Ran, sometimes the least likely is the most possible / don’t hit me.jpg]
[These three people who got out were unexpected, but thinking it over they make sense, whoever took action is definitely ruthless]
[I’m totally confused now, who killed whom]
[When the bird-beaked doctor appeared, I knocked over the water cup while covering my eyes, spilling it on my girlfriend... question, how many hours do I have to live?]
[Go out once, you not only get seaweed egg drop soup, but also probiotics and alcohol-preserved peanuts]
[I’m starting to suspect Shen Zhousong is shady]
[The person most ghostly and like a betrayer in the whole show is instead given an identity to save the world hahaha killing me with laughter]
[Save them, descendant of Nuwa, use your love to benefit the world!]
