Sequence Wars: The Mythical Age is Created by Me

There was nothing outside the window except the chirping of insects.

The scene suddenly became very quiet.

"Go back to your seat. You're in your final year of high school now. You need to calm down and focus on your studies. Don't think you're amazing just because you're in the top 30 of the whole grade. Be humble, okay?"

The homeroom teacher spoke loudly, causing many students to look up.

Feeling the strange gazes behind him, Li Xiuyi didn't say anything, but just sighed and finally returned to his seat.

He doesn't hide what he sees, but the problem is that no one believes him even if he tells them.

In Li Xiuyi's mind and eyes, countless skulls filled the sky, watching the city like the Grim Reaper. Terrifying giant monsters roamed the high-rise buildings, devouring the life essence of the people inside.

The entire city was shrouded in death.

Meanwhile, outside the window, the playground was shrouded in darkness, as if something was stirring within the night.

The students next to me were still writing furiously. Tianhai Affiliated High School does not mandate evening self-study, and most of those who stayed behind were either boarding students or diligent day students.

Although their eyes were fixed on the textbook, they kept glancing at Li Xiuyi out of the corner of their eyes.

In the eyes of many girls, Li Xiuyi's handsome appearance is a big plus. Moreover, he never plays games or social media. During breaks, while others are discussing basketball games or video games, this boy always stares blankly at the birds flying outside the window.

In other words, many girls in the class were his fans.

However, this is certainly not something that many people care about. The boys don't buy into this. Being a loner is being a loner. At first, everyone didn't like him. But when someone was targeted by thugs from outside the school, Li Xiuyi stood guard at the school gate with a black umbrella and single-handedly knocked three or five aggressive young men to the ground.

He never hesitates to spend his time helping classmates with difficult problems, and he speaks calmly and eloquently at school assemblies. Excellence is the motto written at his feet.

When a person's strength and intelligence are both maxed out, their charm value will also be high.

Moreover, everyone sensed that Li Xiuyi didn't look down on them; they just didn't have much in common and couldn't connect. Nevertheless, Li Xiuyi did his best to help everyone.

He's a good boy, and good people should be liked by everyone.

While the students were quietly observing Li Xiuyi, a swift blue light emerged from the sleeve of his wide school uniform.

The green light streaked rapidly toward the playground outside the window, tracing a beautiful S-shaped path.

A gentle breeze suddenly swept through the classroom, making a rustling sound as the students turned the pages of their books.

The homeroom teacher's bald patch didn't seem to be affected. He touched his scalp, stood up, and closed the window.

Should I go home and collect the laundry?

Jiang Fan, who was off-screen, was touching his chin. Since he wasn't in the background, he couldn't control the character with the game console.

He glanced at his faith value, which was only 50 points, even lower than Virias's initial value.

This is understandable, though, based on his observations of Rias's life, it's clear that this knight lady regards him as a god in this world.

For her, it's like a guiding light pointing to the future, so it's normal to be a little closer to her.

But Li Xiuyi gave him the feeling of a sword cultivator who only had a pure heart, who had not been worn down by society, so his inner self was exceptionally clear.

In his eyes, he might be equivalent to the Dao that cultivators comprehend, the Dao traces in the world, and as for other things... surely they couldn't be inner demons?

The game screen remained locked on "Li Xiuyi," and Jiang Fan was also eager to know what that blue light was for.

According to the mission description in the Book of Revelation, there will be visions of death and plague tonight.

I don't know if my concern will be of any use.

Jiang Fan pressed two keys, but this time the "concern" was replaced by "drink together," and the "gift" was replaced by "forming a bond."

The interaction method will change depending on the game character.

Jiang Fan immediately selected "Drink Together," and a wisp of wine aroma appeared in the thermos in front of Li Xiuyi. The lingering fragrance was replaced by a few gray-white pixels.

"You did show up—"

A "..." appeared above the high school student's head.

"My inner demons."

..?

I really am a demon in my heart.

Jiang Fan felt a pang in his heart, and then immediately expressed his thoughts through the game console.

"I have rid the school of the murderous ghosts; no one will be hurt tonight."

Li Xiu didn't open his mouth, but his meaning was clearly expressed.

This may be related to his "Knight-errant" series.

For example, if Rias doesn't speak, Jiang Fan has no way of knowing what she's thinking; he can only observe her through the mission log and her reactions.

The azure light was actually going to kill the ghosts and monsters in the school, which made Jiang Fan's eyes light up.

What does the presence of ghosts mean? It means there are relics in this school.

His [key to history] has been found.

"Go get the items that give rise to the ghost? I've had that idea for a while, but now is not the best time. That ghost is good at concealing its aura. We'll only reveal itself when its ghostly energy is strong, and then we'll make our move."

The water in the thermos stopped rippling. Li Xiu held his breath and focused, manipulating the green light to fly back from outside the window.

A gust of wind blew open the doors and windows that had been closed, and the green light transformed into three sword shadows that flew back to Li Xiuyi's sleeve along the wall.

Everyone in the classroom was startled by the sudden gust of wind. The homeroom teacher peeked out the window at the sky, which didn't look like it was going to rain.

"Quiet down, it's just a passing breeze. Back to studying."

He then looked at Li Xiuyi suspiciously. Although the boy was smart, Tianhai Affiliated High School was not short of smart children.

Jiang Fan, watching this scene, felt a sense of unease. This was perhaps the Green Snake in the Sleeve Lv.3; truly a remarkable technique.

[You and "Li Xiuyi" are drinking together. He feels his inner demons have become even more terrifying. Faith +3]

?

Everyone else is pursuing the Great Way, how come you're talking about inner demons?

Jiang Fan thought that Li Xiuyi would change his opinion of him after the "drinking together" incident, but since his faith level increased significantly, Jiang Fan could barely accept it.

However, seeing that he seemed to have lost some of his initiative, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Having two game characters is certainly convenient, but mobility is a big problem. It seems he'll have to rely more on [Xiao Bai Ze Tu] to investigate and catch evil spirits.

I don't know when my appointment in the National Security Bureau will be finalized. After entering the Ninth Bureau, I will have more opportunities to come into contact with strange things. Only when I frantically increase my legendary status with Bai Ze Tu will this crisis of insufficient action points be resolved.

Jiang Fan put down his game console and planned to go out to buy some food for a late-night snack. Before he even left the house, his phone rang.

"Hello, are you Jiang Fan?"

A pleasant female voice came through the phone, her vocal cords sounding like they were on a musical instrument, her voice like the plucked strings.

"I am."

"Congratulations! I am Bai Suping, the liaison officer of the Relics and Bereaved House. I am informing you that you have been officially hired by the Relics and Bereaved House. Please report to No. 191, Changhong Street, Song'an District, Tianhai City in the next two days. Please bring your ID card. You will start working the day after you report."
