"...This girl..."
As Sparkle completely departed, even though the woman had many more doubts in her heart, there was destined to be no one to answer them for her.
That scene... what exactly did it mean...
As time passed, Frost Sword Fairy's mind finally regained clarity.
Yet, regarding everything Sparkle had just displayed, she still had no clue.
"Compensation"?
Was this some inexplicable prank, or a veiled warning?
Unfortunately, the visibility in the scene Sparkle displayed was extremely low, and the content was blurry, making it impossible to glean more clues from it.
"Not only that, judging from this girl's behavior, she seems to be planning something extraordinary..."
Thinking of this, Frost Sword Fairy's heart tightened. Her fingertips turned white from the force of her grip, and the sword in her hand creaked as she clenched it.
For such a crazy girl to appear out of nowhere in Muyun City, who knows if it's for better or worse.
Crucially, compared to the mysterious and powerful Acheron, this Sparkle's intentions were even more inscrutable and impossible to fathom.
Based on the abilities Frost Sword Fairy had encountered, the Ability Bureau's people would be utterly helpless against her.
If no one stopped her, there was no guarantee she wouldn't do something uncontrollable.
With that thought, the woman let out a helpless sigh.
"I can only hope that even if she does go crazy, it won't affect me..."
After all, Frost Sword Fairy always felt that this Sparkle seemed to have seen through her identity.
However, what she didn't know was—the female lead in Sparkle's "Script" had long been cast, and almost no one could replace her...
Drip...
As time quietly passed, this fleeting rain also gradually came to an end.
Near Muyun University.
Five umbrellas, six people, standing together.
"So... Sister Acheron, you got lost and ended up right at our school?"
Mo Xin and Yunli's eyes twitched in unison, a hint of astonishment in their gazes as they looked at each other.
Song Qianqian remained calm as usual, as if she was already accustomed to it.
On the other hand, Mu Yao, meeting her for the first time, let her curious gaze linger on the purple-haired beauty.
Mu Yao (๑•. •๑): 'So this is Junior Mo Xin's sister... She's really so beautiful!'
Mo Xin ("▔□▔): 'Although I've heard my sister mention it, this is just too unbelievable? How on earth did Sister Acheron used to get home when she went out?'
Just as the group fell silent, Song Qianqian, familiar with her, took the initiative to greet Acheron.
However, due to certain special reasons, and the fact that they hadn't seen each other for a long time, Acheron didn't immediately recognize Song Qianqian.
"You are..."
Seeing the atmosphere turn awkward, Mo Xin was about to explain when Song Qianqian waved her hand first, signaling she understood.
But what she didn't anticipate was that Acheron had once again forgotten her.
Fortunately, their years of friendship as best friends weren't in vain. After a moment of hesitation, Acheron finally remembered Song Qianqian's existence.
This actually made Song Qianqian feel pleasantly surprised.
Then—
Mo Xin (▼皿▼#): "Hey! Sister Acheron is clearly my sister! Sister Qianqian, what exactly did you do? Why could Sister Acheron remember you on her own... when I... I..."
Recalling the scene from a few minutes ago where she had greeted Acheron like a clown and was ignored, Mo Xin's heart felt even more unbalanced.
Seeing this, her senior, Song Qianqian, could only let out two awkward dry laughs.
Feeling Mo Xin's longing gaze, the clever Song Qianqian decisively chose to divert attention.
"Ahem, well... I haven't asked yet... who is this... sister?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's gazes simultaneously turned to the person accompanying Acheron.
...A woman?
This woman beside Acheron was wrapped in a large brown overcoat and wore a brown baseball cap.
She had even deliberately paired it with sunglasses and a mask, covering almost her entire body.
If not for the fair, delicate skin visible on her exposed parts, which was clearly not male, they might have struggled to determine her gender.
Song Qianqian's gaze, tinged with confusion, lightly fell on Acheron.
"Acheron, do you know this... sister?"
If she weren't so familiar with Acheron's temperament, having such an incongruous person mixed into a gathering of various beautiful girls, she might have suspected ill intentions.
"Mhm."
Acheron gave a slight nod.
After all, having gone out today without Xiao Yao accompanying her, the unlucky her had, unsurprisingly, gotten lost again.
"Miss Acheron is as aloof as ever."
Before the words fully faded, a sweet, ethereal voice, like silver bells, quietly spilled from behind the mask the veiled person held tightly, like a spring breeze brushing past their ears.
It instantly attracted everyone's attention.
This pretty much completely confirmed the other party was indeed female.
However, they still didn't know the reason for her concealed face.
On the other hand, Yunli's eyes kept scanning the person before her. She always felt the other person looked somewhat familiar but couldn't place it for the moment.
Seeing everyone looking at her in unison yet remaining silent, the veiled woman, not understanding why, tentatively spoke up.
"Um, did I say something wrong?"
Right at that moment, Mo Xin beside her blinked her big eyes and spoke up delightedly.
"Huh?!! This sister's voice is so pleasant!"
"Yeah, yeah, it really is! But... why does it feel a bit familiar?"
"Huh! Senior, you think so too?!!"
"Don't tell me you, junior, also..."
"Mhm mhm! I thought it was just my imagination!"
"Um... well, actually, I also feel this young lady's voice is a little familiar, as if I've heard it somewhere before..."
As the three chatted back and forth, even Song Qianqian couldn't help but join in, expressing the same view.
Now, since three people simultaneously felt this way, it likely wasn't an illusion.
And so, all three fixed their curious gazes directly on the veiled person.
The meaning in everyone's eyes was clear: they were waiting for the veiled woman to give a precise answer.
Of course, if this young lady was unwilling to answer, they wouldn't press her.
After all, the few of them were just curious, wanting to satisfy their own curiosity.
"Oh, this?～ It's not exactly an unspeakable secret, but..."
Everyone heard the veiled woman give a light laugh, then she looked around somewhat nervously.
Seeing this, Acheron proactively stepped forward, quietly shielding her from outside view.
After confirming no one was around, the veiled woman deftly opened her large overcoat, revealing the gorgeous and beautiful attire inside.
Simultaneously, she quickly removed her sunglasses and mask, placed a finger against her lips, her eyes curving into crescents as she gave a playful smile.
"Please remember to keep it a secret～"
