That little face with delicate features and fine skin is beautiful, cute and very impressive.
However, the expression above was not what the onlookers had originally expected, either cold and indifferent, pure and bright, or lively and cute.
But...
Her face turned pale, her lips trembled, her eyes dodged, and her pretty face was filled with panic, tension and fear.
It was as if she was not in a bright and beautiful campus filled with the fragrance of books, but in a primeval forest full of unpredictable fortune and danger, and full of hungry, ferocious and brutal poisonous insects and beasts.
"Master One, One Zero Five..."
Bernice's teeth chattered as she spoke in a trembling voice filled with fear:
"If I, I, I, I come out like this, I will, I will be…"
"I'm watching here, what are you worried about?"
An ethereal, pleasant and slightly childish voice floated into her ears out of nowhere.
"That's what I said..."
The fear and timidity on Bernice's face remained unchanged. Her scarlet eyes flickered continuously, and she glanced around nervously, as if there were some malicious eyes hidden in every corner:
"But, but, didn't you say that you wouldn't help me directly and let me use my wisdom to solve this problem..."
There was no confidence in her voice, only fear.
Even if Qi Ji immediately replied that he had changed his mind and was willing to help her solve the problem personally, she would probably find it difficult to go out and stroll around the streets calmly.
Because after experiencing several thrilling experiences of being nearly kidnapped, those strange and vicious guys had left a deep shadow in her overly naive heart, and she was about to develop PTSD.
She instinctively felt fear about being exposed in public, and it would not be resolved in a short time.
Qi Ji also knew that the situation of this poor vampire was rather complicated, so he did not argue with her. He just sighed lightly and said comfortingly:
"Don't worry, as long as you don't leave this school, those people are unlikely to find you."
"Really, really?"
Bernice's eyes lit up and she looked to her side, the look in her eyes half surprised and half disbelief.
Beside her, Qi Ji followed leisurely, without a hood, but his beautiful face did not attract the attention of others.
She was in an "invisible" state at this time, and her "perception authority" was only open to Bernice. No one could see her except this vampire.
"Of course," Qi Ji glanced at her from the corner of his eye, and said with a smile, "Think carefully, those times when you were almost caught, they were not on campus, right?"
Bernice's red eyes flickered as she recalled for a few seconds in a slightly painful manner, then nodded in realization:
"It seems so! Those few times, I was discovered when I went outside to look for food."
"So," Qi Ji narrowed his eyes meaningfully, "this school is not as...simple as you think."
"This, this is it..."
After hearing Qi Ji's words, although the panic and fear in Bernice's heart had not yet completely subsided, they were relieved a lot, and her face looked a little less ugly.
After she calmed down, her gradually regained sanity and she thought of something. She asked curiously:
"So, 1005, what are we going to do this time?"
Bernice still couldn't understand why this top master, who was most likely at the "metallurgist" level, wanted to bring her out.
According to what she said before she left, she had to participate in the matters she was dealing with.
But this didn't make sense. He was just a "budding" vampire. He was indeed a powerful figure in front of mortals, but in the eyes of the "Metallurgist", he was just a big ant.
"If I can participate in something, 1005 can definitely handle it easily. If 1005 can't handle something, I don't even have the qualifications to be a bystander, let alone participate..."
——Such contradictory doubts troubled Bernice.
"Didn't I tell you before that little girl Donna got into some trouble?"
Qi Ji smiled cunningly:
"I need you to help her out."
"Ah?!" Bernice tilted her head in surprise, "Why?"
"For now, you can understand this as the 'mission' I'm giving you."
Qi Ji put his hands behind his waist, looking like an old cadre instructing his subordinates:
"Completing my 'missions' will allow you to accumulate 'merits', and these 'merits' can be exchanged for my help and used wherever you want."
"This……"
Although Bernice understood what the other party meant, she was still confused and had no idea what this mysterious and powerful man meant.
However, she didn't worry about it in the end, because she knew Qi Ji would not harm her... or to say, if he wanted to harm her, it wouldn't be that difficult at all.
Besides, such a "deal" is indeed good for oneself:
As long as he actively completes the "mission" and accumulates enough merits, he can ask Yao Lingwu to help him find his mother, return to his hometown, and even owe him some favors.
The favor of a strong man whose level is equivalent to "Jiyuan" is extremely important even among the entire blood clan.
This may become a key variable that affects the Guige bloodline and even the direction of the entire Moonlight Empire in the future!
Thinking of this, the vampire who was stranded in a foreign country suddenly had an inexplicable sense of mission.
So he nodded vigorously without hesitation, and gently waved his pink little fist as if to cheer himself up:
"Got it, I will definitely get it done!"
"That's good," Qi Ji maintained a calm expression and looked ahead at a cement building that was gradually approaching, "We're almost there."
Bernice also followed her gaze, but before she could see the building clearly, a figure suddenly appeared from the side of her field of vision and blocked her way.
"My classmate, are you feeling unwell? Do you need me to take you to the infirmary?"
Bernice's face froze as she realized that the person blocking her way was a boy in uniform, probably a senior student.
He has a tall figure and a handsome face, with his hair combed back neatly and fashionably, and is kept black and shiny.
Although he was wearing a student uniform, it was clear from the mechanical watch on his wrist, the jewel pin on his chest, the precious metal cufflinks on his cuffs and other decorations that this man was from a wealthy family and was definitely not an ordinary civilian.
When Qi Ji saw the man's appearance clearly, he suddenly revealed a complicated and strange expression.
"The world is so small..."
Chapter 249 Branch Line Interface
If it wasn't an important person, Qi Ji wouldn't bother to remember him.
But with her extraordinary brain power, any information ever captured by her senses will not be forgotten in the slightest.
Anyone she had seen, she could immediately recall as long as they entered her perception again.
So, when the male student suddenly appeared from the side, stood in front of Bernice and spoke, Qi Ji remembered the interaction between him and this guy in the past.
A few days ago, the night before the dusk battle broke out on the twilight sea.
In order to find a place for the dozen orphans in Stoner Orphanage, the Superintendent's Office held a charity adoption event at the Twilight Castle Hotel.
While he was hiding in the corner, observing the top mage Bona and his subordinate Viscount Mosent, a young man who was attending the meeting came up to him and chatted with him.
At this time, the male student who appeared in front of Bernice was the young man who had approached her!
"Classmate, I see that you look a little unwell, do you need my help?"
He spoke in a deep and magnetic voice, showing a few white and neat teeth, a hearty smile that was standard and impeccable.
This male student, the young man who had approached her at the charity adoption event a few days ago, was actually the heir of a baron in Twilight City.
He was originally a senior student at the Imperial University, majoring in philosophy and economics.
However, because his father wanted to cultivate his practical ability in business management, he took a week off to go to the family business in Sunset Harbor for an internship.
The night of the charity adoption event happened to be the last day of his internship and his last night in Sunset Harbor.
He attended the adoption meeting not because he really wanted to adopt a child. After all, he was only twenty years old and was not at that stage yet.
He just wanted to communicate with the dignitaries in the upper circle and improve his social skills in high society.
The next morning, he took a hired private carriage and returned to Twilight City to attend the Imperial National University.
——The distance between Twilight City and Sunset Harbor is not far. If you drive directly there, it will only take about four hours if nothing goes wrong.
However, when he thought about the experience at the adoption meeting that night, he felt excited, depressed, and a little scared.
"Then, that girl, she disappeared? She went into the bathroom and never came out again? This... couldn't be a ghost..."
After the stunningly beautiful and lovely black-haired girl went to the bathroom, he had been waiting there, casually keeping an eye on her to see if she came out.
As a result, after waiting for nearly an hour, the adoption meeting was about to end, but there was still no sign of the impressive black-haired girl.
His first reaction was that she might have had an accident, such as falling down and fainting, so he hurriedly called a waitress to check.
But the other party told him that there was no one in the public restroom!
When he heard the news, he was stunned.
You should know that the public restroom is located at the end of a corridor at the edge of the venue. Once you enter, there is no entrance or exit except to return the same way.
Climbing through the window is not an option either, because there is no window in either the corridor or the bathroom that is large enough for a person to pass through!
For a moment he began to wonder if he had encountered some strange and bizarre incident, such as an urban legend or something.
In addition, the black-haired girl's appearance was so extraordinary that when he thought back on it later, he couldn't clearly imagine her face in his mind.
This body shape and appearance that does not seem to exist in reality and is more like an illusion makes this matter even more mysterious and supernatural.
In short, while he was savoring the extraordinary charm of the black-haired girl, he also felt uneasy.
He didn't tell anyone about what happened that night. He just thought it was an hallucination with a weird atmosphere and kept it in his heart as if it never happened.
However, at this moment, facing the long-haired girl whom he met by chance on the campus street, he was immediately reminded of the memories of that night.
Although if he thought about it carefully, she seemed to be slightly inferior in appearance to the one at the party, at least he could imagine her in his mind.
But no matter what, this is a very pretty and cute girl! Moreover, she is wearing something similar to a school uniform, so she is probably a student of this school.
How can I do this without getting to know you?
The most important thing is that the girl has an ugly complexion and seems to be always talking to herself. There is something wrong with her condition.
Is he sick? Or is he emotionally traumatized?
In short, how could I, the eldest son of the family who was well-educated, virtuous and considerate, not lend a helping hand to such a lovely girl who seemed to be in trouble?
"Uh……"
Seeing the young man's enthusiastic smile, Bernice seemed to be able to tell that he wanted to strike up a conversation.
Her brows furrowed slightly, a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes, and she was about to send him away.
But suddenly, I heard the "invisible" 105 suddenly say:
"You can reject him, but find a way to get his contact information."
"what?"
Bernice was stunned and looked at Qi Ji out of the corner of her eye in confusion.
Qi Ji just stared at the male student as if thinking, and explained slowly and simply:
"He might be involved in something..."
"Besides," she suddenly smiled, "this is part of the mission."
Bernice wanted to ask a few more questions, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, she had no objection.
Since it is a "task", there is nothing much to say, just do it. This matter is not complicated, and you can also accumulate "merits", so why not do it?
Moreover, the male student was standing right in front of her, making it inconvenient for her to communicate with Qi Ji, so Bernice didn't say anything more.
She deliberately put on a disdainful expression, frowned, and said to the male student in front of her who was still smiling warmly:
"I'm fine, don't worry about me."
"This, this is it..."
The young man was slightly stunned, but did not show much disappointment, as if this result was within his expectations.
"Then I won't bother my classmates."
