Chapter 18 Lucky?
"Messiah……"
Savoring the name of this savior that seemed to only appear in legends, Ojiao felt like she had heard it somewhere.
Of course, the "where have you heard it" here is definitely not just in legends, but in life... But where exactly is it?
After thinking about it carefully, Ojiao suddenly realized: "Wait a minute, I seem to have seen someone claiming to be the 'Messiah' somewhere."
["See it too? Where is it?"] Li Zheng asked quickly.
"I remember, it was before the 'Three Phantom Demons' invaded the Duel Academy. You weren't there at that time..." Ojiao secretly looked at the face of Dongfeng Guhui in front of him midway through his words, and found that she didn't seem to have any After the expression, he continued: "I had just finished the cosplay duel, and I was in a daze while waiting for someone in a cafe in Duel Academy... Well, now that I think about it, I might have been sulking, and at that time, there was The man who calls himself 'Messiah' comes to me."
Li Zheng then asked: ["Can you confirm that he is called Messiah?"]
"It should be, and... I guess he is also the person you are referring to this time, Li Zheng." Ojiao's memories became clearer and clearer, so she continued: "This name is so rare, I don't think I should If I remember it wrong, it’s hard for a second person to show up, right?”
["Why do you think so? Even if the name is rare, it should not be arbitrarily determined to be unique."]
"Because something very strange happened that day." Ojiao recalled: "Not long after the Messiah came to find me, the 'Three Phantom Demons' invaded, and the entire school was under martial law... Although it was said that there would be It’s a bit far-fetched to associate the two of them, but my intuition tells me that there must be a connection between this person and this matter.”
["A girl's intuition? It's interesting. If you continue talking, there should be some clues."]
"Well, then I'll continue." Ojiao nodded and continued following his own train of thought: "That guy is very strange. First of all, he emphasized that he was an engaged senior and would not do anything to me. What a weird idea; and then he said that he saw me sulking, so he played the role of a clown to make me happy... Although I did find his embarrassing acting very funny, but there was absolutely no weird idea at all! "
When Ojiao spoke, his slow recall speed changed to that of pouring beans through a bamboo tube. While talking, he stretched out his hand and shook his head to deny, which made Li Zheng laugh.
["What are you trying to explain?"] Li Zheng said with a wry smile, speechless: "The Messiah is a woman."]
"Eh, a woman?" Ojiao was a little surprised: "But the Messiah I met is obviously..."
"She takes over someone else's body to act." Xiao Hui, who was walking in front, suddenly interrupted the topic: "Changing identities makes it easier to escape. It's very cunning."
Like Ojiao, Xiaohui had seen this Messiah before, but unlike Ojiao, Xiaohui had fought with her and even beaten her.
In that duel, the half-spirit girl grasped the information that the Messiah would use other people's bodies to act, but the half-spirit girl was more concerned about another point, that is, the Messiah... would always give her a kind of Very familiar feeling.
Li Zheng told her that the Messiah seemed to be a child who claimed to be Dazi, the last princess of Atlantis, but Xiao Hui did not think that this level of identity could be the reason why the Messiah would give her a familiar feeling.
[Li Zheng...it seems that he is still hiding something from me. ] Xiao Hui looked silently at Li Zheng, who was floating in the air and helping Ojiao reason, [But it doesn't matter, he must have his reasons, and he will automatically say it when it's time to say it. 】
Even if the contract is no longer there, the half-spirit girl's trust in Li Zheng has not diminished at all - this is why Li Zheng always feels that his conscience is greatly affected when facing her trusting and pure eyes. Reason for torture.
However, compared to Xiao Hui's thoughts, Ojiao's current thoughts were much simpler. She chewed on Xiao Hui's words just now and suddenly thought of a very scary thing: "So a senior was killed? By Messiah Ya has taken over the body? But there are no corresponding rumors in the school? "
Li Zheng holds a different view on this.
["There are two possibilities. The first one is that Messiah can completely use other people's comatose bodies instead of only using dead corpses. This is a very clever method, but judging from Messiah's ability, it must be done This is not difficult. The second possibility is...it is just the body of a poor person outside the school. Use it once and throw it away. The identity of the senior is just made up to lie to you. "]
"Is that so?" Ojiao pinched his chin and said, "No matter how much I think about it, I still feel that the second option is more likely. In this case, the risk to the Messiah...is the least."
After listening to Ojiao's words, Li Zheng smiled. His expression now seemed to want to play a prank, and he also seemed to want to remind Ojiao of the importance of this matter, so he whistled and said: [" You'd better hope for the first possibility... because the body the Messiah is using now should be a familiar one to you."]
"Someone I know well? Who?"
["Your best friend, Sayaka Izayoi..."] Li Zheng looked at Ojiao's expression becoming more and more exaggerated, and then added: ""Brother."]

"That's basically it. I was walking in the abyss, and it was Ed who pulled me up... No, it wasn't just him, there were countless 'Heroes of Destiny', they were like batons, throwing me up from the abyss."
In the cafe, "Ed Phoenix", who had just finished his story, said to everyone present: "When I woke up, I was already on an unfamiliar beach, and was rescued by a passing ship."
"I see, I really don't know how to describe your luck... It's really great."
A childish voice came from behind Judai. The only loli who could appear here was Tess, who was still wearing her eyes, like a demon hunter. The action of forcibly taking Ojia from the natural disaster and sending it to Xiaohui that day was a serious overdraft for Tess. She said that her eyes would need to rest for more than ten days before they could recover.
"Lucky?" "How do you say that?"
"For us, someone should have arranged the transmission for us." Tess explained: "It may be arranged by Dongfeng Gu Hui, or it may be... arranged by other guys."
Although Li Zheng had confessed to everyone on Nuts Island that day, not everyone here had been to Nuts Island. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, everyone on that day agreed to keep the matter secret.
Fortunately, no one is entangled in these details now. Tess just continued: "But this young man, he should have experienced the space turbulence directly caused by the too powerful duel energy... That Ed should have dueled with the Overlord and used the duel to "beat" you out, but he didn't win in the end, so he could only choose to let you possess him. To survive such a big accident, fall on the beach and even be rescued by a passing ship... It's really lucky."
"Hehe." Judai touched his nose a little embarrassedly.
"Judai-kun is really that lucky." Sakura Mei also smiled and said, "It makes sense that this kind of thing happened to him."
