The total death energy could only be increased by absorbing vengeful spirits through the system. Even now, Beichuan Si's total death energy was just 70/70.
But after absorbing the death energy from Magong Tong, Beichuan Si clearly saw the value on the system's panel jump to above 73/73.
Simply absorbing that wisp of curse unexpectedly increased the limit by three points.
Don't underestimate those three points. Beichuan Si's total death energy was only 70, so increasing it by three points was quite significant for his overall use of death energy.
At this mont, Beichuan Si really wanted to mimic Shen Gu Mirai and say, "I'm very curious."
But considering he wasn't very familiar with Magong Tong, he had to temporarily suppress his thoughts.
Compared to Beichuan Si's current thoughts, the watching Magong Tong was truly on edge.
Did I say sothing wrong just now? Why is Beichuan staring at like that?
She trembled with her body, her pale lips appearing sowhat pitiful.
At this ti, a middle-aged teacher walked in from outside and, after counting the students, organized them to head to the gymnasium for the morning assembly.
Magong Tong breathed a sigh of relief. She hurriedly stood up, eager to escape the "strange" gaze of her desk mate.
But—
Cold sweat dripped down the side of her face, and Magong Tong was nearly in tears.
Because Beichuan Si was closely following behind her.
That calm, indifferent expression and unique hardness, along with those eyes that glimred continually, really made him look like a ruthless, cold-hearted killer.
—And this "killer" was staring at her with eyes shining.
Magong Tong was naturally the kind of girl who was quite timid, and because of the rumor about "bad luck," no one bullied her.
Normally, she walked around alone and hardly interacted with anyone in school.
Now that she was being stared at by Beichuan Si with such a "malicious intent" gaze—
Magong Tong really wanted to cry.
Just as she was feeling isolated, Beichuan Si's voice sounded in her ear.
"What's wrong, Magong? Are you feeling unwell? Do you need to take you to the infirmary? I just passed by the library and saw that no one should be at the infirmary now. I think you might be anemic..."
Seeing Magong Tong sweating profusely and looking pale, Beichuan Si asked with so concern.
Magong Tong was now considered his peculiar "power bank," so it was quite normal to show so concern.
He pointed in the direction of the infirmary.
Whatever Beichuan Si said afterward, Magong Tong didn't hear clearly. Her lips twitched, and she shivered.
She clearly saw that there were still so stains left on the back of Beichuan Si's hand that weren't cleaned off!
Boom!!!
Like thunder exploding, Magong Tong swallowed her saliva with a ss of thoughts.
Why take to the infirmary? Is it because I discovered his secret and he wants to silence ?
Magong Tong, who was already walking slowly, slowed down even more under Beichuan Si's gaze, gradually falling behind the main group.
Moreover, the two of them were the transparent people of the class, so no one noticed their absence.
"Beichuan." Magong Tong spoke with a sobbing tone, "Please, let go."
Let you go?
Beichuan Si muttered in his heart, not entirely sure what Magong Tong was trying to express.
Could it be that Magong Tong was especially afraid of going to the infirmary?
There indeed were many people in the world who feared hospitals, sothing Beichuan Si had often seen in his past life as a dical student.
Seeing Beichuan Si seriously considering, Magong Tong's tears almost overflowed.
Is this person really deciding whether or not to let go?
Seeing Magong Tong's tragic expression, Beichuan Si shook his head and simply dragged her back to catch up with the main group.
Since she was too scared to move, he wouldn't force her to the infirmary.
"I—I didn't provoke Beichuan, did I?"
Magong Tong's trembling voice echoed in his ear, her eyes particularly clean yet full of worry and fear.
"What do you an provoke?"
Had this child been scared senseless?
Beichuan Si looked back at Magong Tong with an exceptionally sympathetic gaze.
That gaze, like a butcher watching livestock about to be slaughtered, chilled Magong Tong to the bone.
I want to run away... but there's no escape.
Thus, under Beichuan Si's partial dragging and pulling, Magong Tong finally arrived inside a building—
The gymnasium?
Only then did the young girl co back to her senses to look around.
The other students were already standing, and the principal was preparing to take his seat.
This unexpected developnt caught Magong Tong off guard, then she saw the "cold-blooded killer" Beichuan Si beside her raise his hand, "Excuse , teacher, I think Magong might be a bit anemic. Can she sit at the back?"
Anemic?
Watching Beichuan Si talk earnestly with the horoom teacher, Magong Tong opened her mouth, wanting to say sothing, but then closed it tightly.
An inexplicable feeling of bewildernt and guilt erged.
So Beichuan was genuinely concerned about her for saying those words.
Did I... misjudge him?
"But Beichuan did have bloodstains on his hand,"
Magong Tong couldn't help mumbling, shrinking his neck.
...
After Beichuan Si took Magong Tong to sit in the last row, Magong Tong's lips moved slightly, and a tiny voice escaped, "Thank you, Beichuan."
"It's nothing." Beichuan Si shrugged.
Long periods of standing could indeed cause dizziness in anemic individuals, sotis leading to fainting.
Considering Magong Tong's special condition, Beichuan Si enjoyed her company.
After all, in just a short ti, his death energy had surpassed the 80 mark from 73.
But after reaching 80, the growth of death energy slowed significantly, no longer as apparent as it initially was.
Beichuan Si was already very satisfied.
Gaining 10 points in death energy capacity was an exceptional achievent,
because absorbing two interdiate-level vengeful spirits only increased the total capacity by 15 points.
A satisfied Beichuan Si tried to start a conversation.
"Magong, are you anemic by birth? Your complexion seems sowhat strange to ."
"I don't have symptoms of anemia," Magong Tong softly replied. "My complexion is natural. My family took to the hospital for several tests, all with no result, and a few hospital machines even broke."
"Is that the so-called bad luck at play?"
"I've always been unlucky," Magong Tong whispered, seeming to avoid drawing attention from those upfront, "It's been like this for the past nine years."
"Friends close to always encounter various misfortunes. It started with small things, like losing their wallets, then escalated to sothing minor like a tumble leading to fractures, or even encountering traffic accidents on the road..."
"They claim it's my fault, but I truly know nothing. Initially, so people in school did bully , but eventually, even those people ended up hospitalized... That's when I began to believe my misfortune was contagious."
At Kyubei High School, Magong Tong had beco a fearful presence.
Not even bullies dared to ss with her, as everyone seed convinced that Magong Tong would bring bad luck—
Cough, but as a matter of fact, this was true.
Beichuan Si glanced at the black lines entangling Magong Tong, wisely catching a key term in her words.
Nine years ago.
Did sothing happen nine years ago that turned Magong Tong into what she is now?
The darkness hidden within her heart.
What does the darkness in your heart an? Could it be that Magong Tong's current state was artificially created?
