Chapter 40 When He Takes Off His Mask
For glass—
Bai Lili was like the complete opposite of her, the "bright version" that she longed for most yet hated deep down.
Although she always managed to respond politely to Bai Lili with that top student-like smile, deep down, she never stopped hating her.
So why...
Why, at this critical moment of life and death, would this guy she hated the most, who seemed the weakest and most in need of protection, rush out regardless of his own life, push her away, and put himself in a life-or-death situation?
Liuli couldn't understand.
She stared blankly at Bai Lili's figure exposed to the blood arrow.
She saw Bai Lili's profile at that moment, terrified to the extreme, even to the point of crying.
The high wall in my heart, built with disgust and fake smiles, seemed to have been violently struck by something.
Are you... an idiot?
She even wanted to rush up and confront the other person.
Since you're so afraid of dying...
Why save one...?
Do I want to die?
In that instant, facing death, two thoughts uncontrollably arose in Liuli's mind at the same time.
One is liberation—
She could finally end all this disgusting thing.
so good……
The other was an expectation that even she herself felt a little ashamed of—
She was indeed hoping someone would save her at this moment.
But it shouldn't be Bai Lili.
That person should be wearing a pure white mask and a black trench coat.
While holding her protectively in his arms, he deliberately acted cool and said things like, "The safest place is beside me."
It's incredibly cringeworthy, yet you can't help but like it.
So, why Bai Lili?
Bai Lili, I knew it, you're the one I hate the most...
At the same time, the comments section was also filled with surprise:
"Holy crap! A new couple?!"
"Seriously? You can ship these two?"
"Just take it, just take it, just take it!"
"Yuri is the best!!!"
"Bai Lili, no! If you do that, you'll disappear!!"
"Relax, upstairs~ Don't you understand the true value of a prison sentence?"
"Saki is here, no surprise (laughs)"
As the comments on the screen said, Saki had already reacted the moment the blood arrow appeared in the sky.
However, he sensed an echo from that arrow of blood that far exceeded its usual intensity, and a premonition began to form in his mind—
Even with his "3Max" physique, he couldn't withstand the attack with his physical strength alone.
Ultimately, this is the world of echoers.
Echoes are the most powerful force in this world.
The physical body has its limits!
Therefore, the instant the blood arrow appeared, Qi Ji raised one hand without hesitation and covered his mask.
Indecisive
[Blurring between reality and illusion]!
However, just as he made a move, Bai Lili pushed Liuli away.
Saki was stunned for a moment, but didn't have time to think about it further.
He swiftly stepped forward and pulled Bai Lili, who had lost her balance after using all her strength to push away Liuli, into his arms!
The soft jade embraced her, carrying the unique warmth and fragrance of a young girl, and a slight tremor caused by fear.
In the blink of an eye, the blood arrow arrived!
With a piercing shriek that tore through the air and a terrifying pressure that distorted space!
Bai Lili looked at Qi Ji, who had flown over to save her, with teary eyes, and couldn't help but think—
As expected of Saki, she's really reliable...
He always comes to the rescue whenever danger arises.
However, even with her mediocre level of response, she could still sense it.
The terrifying power contained in the blood arrow before him was far beyond what a freshman who had been enrolled for less than a month could withstand.
Although that person is the seemingly omnipotent Saki, as Saki just said, no matter how powerful a person is, there will always be moments when they are powerless.
That's probably how she died now.
Bai Lili thought desperately, as fragments of her life flashed uncontrollably through her mind.
—The doting smiles of parents, the warm and bright living room at home, the cold profile of the person I met for the first time when I was about to die…
And on the day of enrollment, I saw a boy on the rooftop, wearing a mask just like that person...
Finally, she even found it somewhat amusing—
Unexpectedly, as the fiancée of Su Shi's classmate, she died in the last moments of her life at the hands of another...
He was in the arms of a boy who was also wearing a mask.
I wonder what Su Shi will think of her if she finds out?
Just as these chaotic, almost self-destructive thoughts flashed through Bai Lili's mind, she suddenly saw that Qi Ji, who was tightly hugging her, did something completely unexpected—
Saki-kun actually took off his mask...
"?!"
Bai Lili's eyes widened suddenly, her trembling eyelashes still glistening with the girl's undried tears.
She didn't understand...
What is Saki-kun going to do by taking off his mask at this moment?
Was he trying to satisfy her curiosity before he died?
She was indeed very curious about it...
Rather, every single girl in the class was eager to see the real face behind Saki's mask.
I never imagined I'd be the first...
Although it came at the cost of death.
Just as Bai Lili was experiencing "chaotic fantasies before death," thinking about all sorts of random things, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have misunderstood something.
Saki did not remove the mask.
No, to be more precise, Saki took off half of the mask—
There was a crisp "click" sound.
The seemingly inseparable pure white mask on Saki's face was actually split in two from the midline of his nose!
Extremely fine cracks appeared in both the top and bottom parts!
Because they were so close, Bai Lili could see them exceptionally clearly.
Saki took off the lower half of her mask, the part that covered her mouth, nose, and chin.
And so, at the instant the mask separated—
A fleeting glimpse!
She saw it.
I got a clear look at Saki's face.
Although, it's only half a sheet.
Once the mask was removed, what was exposed to the cool moonlight was a clean-cut jawline with a beautiful curve.
It has light-colored, thin lips with a clearly defined shape.
It's worth mentioning that Saki's lips seem to naturally have a slight upturn at the corners.
Even in such a perilous moment, he seemed to possess a faint, nonchalant indifference.
Without the mask, the lower half of this face is so handsome it's almost unbelievable!
Just one glance is enough to make your heart skip a beat!
In her mind, Bai Lili had even begun to involuntarily imagine—
Imagine the rest of the other person's face, covered by half a mask.
How ethereal and otherworldly, how exceptionally handsome he must be.
