Chapter 172 My brother arrived and killed someone.
Several students nearby also heard it, and suppressed sobs and panic spread.
Just as this desperate anxiety was building to its peak, the deep roar of an engine came from afar.
A red Porsche sports car, like a striking streak of light, sped past the outer checkpoint and came to a stop next to the crowd with a beautiful drift.
Luo Jingjing's eyes lit up, as if she had grasped a lifeline.
"There's hope! It's Professor Shakivi's car. She's a great witch."
Luo Jingjing smiled slightly, and the female teacher suddenly perked up as well. The two of them ran to the car door together.
However, the scissor doors swung up, and a tall young man stepped out of the driver's seat.
"Zhang Qingzhe?"
Luo Jingjing paused for a moment, clearly somewhat surprised.
"Senior Sister Luo!" Zhang Qingzhe nodded slightly to her as a greeting.
His gaze quickly swept across the scene, immediately catching sight of the female teacher and the students with panicked expressions.
Zhang Qingzhe skipped the pleasantries and went straight to the point: "I'm Zhang Lingyue's brother. Where is she now?"
This statement is like a spoonful of water poured into boiling oil.
"It's Suzuki's brother!"
"Isn't he Su Nianxi's brother?"
"Oh dear! Never mind that, they're trapped in the fog!"
"And Chen Yuxin from our class! None of the three of them came out!"
The students who recognized him rushed up, chattering and vying to tell him what had happened.
A jumble of chaotic fragments of information rained down on Zhang Qingzhe—
A sudden thick fog, a scattered group, and three missing witches.
Zhang Qingzhe listened quietly, his expression remaining largely unchanged.
His gaze gradually calmed down, and a dark flame seemed to be gathering deep within.
"From which direction did the fog begin to spread?"
He interrupted the students' chaotic conversation and calmly asked, "Does anyone remember their last positions?"
His questions were all clear and direct, without any beating around the bush.
Although the students around me were initially like ants on a hot plate.
But they were quickly influenced by his calmness and gradually gathered the information.
Zhang Qingzhe quickly organized his thoughts and sketched out a general outline in his mind.
Without much hesitation, he straightened his clothes and prepared to enter the fog-shrouded [Dragon Disaster Zone].
"Wait a minute!"
Luo Jingjing took a step forward and blocked his way.
Her face was filled with anxiety: "It's too dangerous for you to go in alone! This fog is clearly strange—"
She paused, looked at Zhang Qingzhe's young face, and tried to be as tactful as possible in her tone.
"I know you're worried about your sister, but you're just a college student, at most a [Trainee Card Master], right? This situation is difficult even for [Hunters]; if you go in, you won't be able to save her, and you'll get trapped yourself!"
The sunlight cast a warm glow on her profile, but it couldn't dispel the worry etched on her furrowed brow.
Zhang Qingzhe stopped in his tracks.
He didn't really want to reveal his strength, but now every second of delay could lead to irreversible consequences.
Zhang Qingzhe spoke calmly, his voice devoid of youthful arrogance, "Senior, I am already a formal Card Master."
"What?"
Luo Jingjing was stunned, and subconsciously retorted, "That's impossible. Last time you accompanied Professor Xia here, you were just an ordinary student—"
Luo Jingjing remembered clearly that although this junior was very handsome, his skills were indeed somewhat average.
How long has it been since?
How is it possible to become a "formal card master"?
Zhang Qingzhe did not offer any further explanation.
He simply rolled up the sleeve of his left arm.
Beneath her fair skin, a faint blue light was hidden.
Immediately afterwards, the light became clearly visible, and it was not just a few simple lines, but rather nested like an electrical circuit, spreading out into a complex [magical circuit].
They silently coiled around his arms, flickering slightly with his breath, radiating a stable and restrained magical energy.
This is definitely not a loophole that a trainee card master could have.
The air seemed to fall silent for a moment.
Luo Jingjing's pupils contracted slightly, and she swallowed back all the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
As someone who frequently works with "card masters," she knew all too well what this scene represented.
"It really is! But this is too fast! You're progressing even faster than a witch in her developmental stage!" Luo Jingjing stammered.
The female teacher, who had been anxiously watching, covered her mouth, her eyes gleaming with surprise.
"My God—no wonder he's Lingyue's brother! Your family's [witch bloodline] is truly outstanding—" She was so excited that she was almost incoherent.
The students at the back were the ones who really caused an uproar.
"A formal card master?! Lingyue's brother is a formal card master?" a boy exclaimed.
"Wow—!" A chorus of suppressed but excited exclamations instantly erupted from the group of girls.
Several of the bolder girls looked at Zhang Qingzhe with sparkling eyes, whispering among themselves, their cheeks slightly flushed.
"Last time, I thought he was so handsome —"
"A certified card master! That's so young!"
"Lingyue is so lucky! She has such an amazing older brother!"
"If it's the older brother, then it can't be called happiness, right? You can see it, but you can't have it!"
"I hope Lingyue can return safely. I can ask her to introduce me to my brother."
The thoughts of young girls are both simple and straightforward.
Amidst the worries, a touch of youthful anticipation still lingers.
The strong and authoritative young senior did indeed stir their hearts.
The boys' reactions were much more complex.
Some of the boys who had a crush on Zhang Lingyue instantly felt a sense of kinship with Zhang Qingzhe.
Someone almost blurted out "brother-in-law," but their companion quickly covered their mouth.
The other group consists of Su Nianxi's admirers.
Their expressions became somewhat subtle, and a sense of vigilance and crisis quietly arose.
They had both witnessed Su Nianxi's undisguised intimacy with Zhang Qingzhe after school.
He used to be able to comfort himself by saying that he was Su Nianxi's "brother," and that it was "family affection" between siblings.
But now, there's a "brother" who's completely unrelated by blood, young, handsome, and ridiculously strong—
Isn't this competitor's level a bit too high?!
The boys exchanged glances instinctively, all seeing the same tension on each other's faces.
Zhang Qingzhe didn't pay attention to those little schemes.
He lowered his sleeves and looked at Luo Jingjing.
"Now, may I go in?"
Zhang Qingzhe's tone remained calm, yet carried an undeniable decisiveness: "Time is running out."
Luo Jingjing took a deep breath and finally stepped aside to make way for her: "Although I still want to advise you, I guess you won't listen."
"Okay! Thank you for your concern, senior. I'll be fine." Zhang Qingzhe nodded, thanking his senior for her understanding.
"You must be very careful! This fog is very strange; it will cut off all communication signals."
With her hands cuffed behind her back, Su Nianxi was still desperately wriggling and crawling.
Strands of her hair clung to her sweaty cheeks, and each breath brought a burning pain.
The knees of the jeans were worn through, leaving bloody marks on the skin.
The footsteps behind me, like maggots clinging to my bones, followed slowly but surely.
"Haha! You haven't given up yet?"
The man in black's hoarse voice came from the thick fog behind him, carrying a nauseating laugh.
Su Nianxi was already exhausted, but her mouth was still incredibly stubborn: "Bastard! Dare you take off my handcuffs and let's have a fair fight?"
The man's arms gripped her slender waist like iron clamps, and he suddenly flipped her over.
The heavy, smoky scent wafted towards Su Nianxi's delicate ear.
"We've had enough fun," Scarface grinned maliciously.
A rough, large hand extended two thick fingers and roughly shoved them into the waistband of Su Nianxi's jeans.
"No—! Let me go! Get away from me—!"
Su Nianxi let out a piercing cry and struggled with all her might.
Tears streamed down her face, mingling with the dust and leaving streaks of disarray.
Those eyes, which always shone with light, were now filled with deep fear.
"Chirp—la la la—"
The fabric made a tearing sound as it struggled to hold on; the design inside was about to be revealed.
The black-clad man's sinister grin and Su Nianxi's broken cries intertwined in the misty, deathly silence of the forest, creating a heartbreakingly cruel scene.
At this very moment—
A two-headed raven suddenly flew overhead, and then all four red eyes looked down at it.
next second!
A crimson streak of light, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, silently tore through the thick fog, tracing a deadly arc.
It was an ancient-looking throwing knife, its blade wreathed in blazing flames, the mist leaving faint trails as it was burned away.
puff!
The dull thud of a sharp blade piercing flesh was heard.
The man in black froze, his sinister smile frozen on his face.
He looked down in disbelief at the hole that had suddenly appeared in his chest.
He let out a hissing sound from his throat, the fierce light in his eyes quickly faded, and his heavy body fell backward, crashing heavily onto the decaying leaves.
The scorching throwing knife, having completed its mission, hovered quietly above the dead body.
Su Nianxi still had her eyes closed, her body trembling violently from extreme fear, and her clear voice had become hoarse from crying.
She thought those dirty, large hands were about to soil her clean body.
Suddenly, she felt herself lifted off the cold ground and being lifted up by a gentle force.
"No! Don't touch me—!"
Su Nianxi was still screaming and kicking futilely, like a kitten desperately struggling in a desperate situation.
"Su Nianxi, it's me."
A familiar voice rang in her ears, piercing through her overwhelming fear.
"Calm down, open your eyes first."
Su Nianxi's crying stopped abruptly.
She opened her red, tear-filled eyes, her long eyelashes trembling, glistening with tears like wet butterfly wings.
The fog seemed to have dissipated somewhat, and the faint light outlined the face that was so close at hand.
Deep-set eyes, a straight nose, and tightly pursed lips.
"----elder brother?"
Su Nianxi's voice was weak and barely audible, with a heavy nasal tone, "I—am I dreaming? Or have I already—"
"No, I'm here," Zhang Qingzhe said calmly.
"Ugh! Why did you take so long to get here? I was almost bullied." Su Nianxi cried even harder.
Zhang Qingzhe looked at the girl in his arms.
That pretty face, which usually carried a hint of "little devil" about it, was now covered in tears, dust, and blades of grass.
Her eyes were red and swollen, filled with a lingering panic, like a kitten drenched in a downpour.
The once neat clothes have become filthy.
The jeans were torn in several places, revealing the abrasions on the skin underneath.
A mixture of anger and heartache gently struck Zhang Qingzhe's heart. "These bastards—"
"Waaaaah!!"
Su Nianxi cried so hard that her whole body trembled, and her tears soaked Zhang Qingzhe's coat.
Zhang Qingzhe gently patted Su Nianxi's trembling back, as if comforting a frightened little animal, "It's alright, it's alright now."
At the same time, a thought popped into his head.
The throwing knife vibrated slightly, tracing a smooth arc as it precisely sliced open Su Nianxi's handcuffs.
With a soft "click," the specially made handcuffs fell to the ground.
My wrist was suddenly freed, and I felt a tingling or numb sensation.
But Su Nianxi didn't care about any of that; she just held Zhang Qingzhe tightly, whimpering in his arms.
As the crying gradually subsided, it turned into intermittent sobs.
Zhang Qingzhe spoke again, his voice returning to its usual clarity.
"Where's Suzuki?"
This question was like a bucket of cold water, instantly clearing Su Nianxi's confused mind.
She suddenly raised her head, and anxiety resurfaced in her red and swollen eyes.
"Suzuki! That's right, Suzuki!"
She said in a hoarse voice, "She's been captured by several other men in black! They're not far ahead!"
"Is there another female classmate?" Zhang Qingzhe asked again.
"Yes! But she was killed."
"What?"
"Don't worry, Lingyue will be fine."
"Why?" Zhang Qingzhe asked, somewhat puzzled.
Su Nianxi gently twisted her slender waist and answered shyly, "Because both Lingyue and I are virgins."
"Huh?!" Zhang Qingzhe was stunned for a moment, not understanding the logic behind this.
"They said virgins are more valuable, so they didn't intend to kill us."
"These bastards do things like this."
Zhang Qingzhe's eyes suddenly turned cold, as if covered with a layer of frost. "I'm going to find Lingyue. You find a place to hide first."
But Su Nianxi looked at the dense fog and exclaimed, "Where am I supposed to hide? I'll go with you!"
"It's too dangerous."
"What?! I'm a witch, I'm definitely stronger than you!"
Once Su Nianxi felt safe, her arrogance as the "Little Witch" regained its dominance.
After a few minutes without being hit, she felt confident again.
This little devil has completely forgotten that she was almost stripped naked just now and cried until her voice was almost hoarse.
Zhang Qingzhe looked helpless.
He subconsciously reached out and pulled up her slipping waistband.
Su Nianxi's face flushed red instantly, and she subconsciously grabbed Zhang Qingzhe's hands.
Because of what happened just now, she thought her "brother" was going to pull down her pants too!
All four hands were on their belts, and the two men looked at each other.
Su Nianxi first moved her hand away, her cheeks flushed red, and quietly looked away.
With a determined heart, I thought, if my brother wants to strip me, then so be it!
Zhang Qingzhe simply lifted her up a bit, then took out two cards from his card holder and instructed, "You can follow me, but you have to listen to me, understand?"
"Mmm!" Su Nianxi laughed.
She knew her brother was a good person and wouldn't take advantage of her.
