Chapter 308: The urge to laugh

Yi Cha let the newly formed air shield dissipate. Fragments of red plant stems and leaves and rapidly clumping sap fell around them.

Ke Qier picked up the corner of his robe and took a look, finding that it was still white. He turned his head in surprise and saw the devil adjusting his cuffs and looking at him with a reproachful expression:

"As usual. Prioritize the persecution of his students. It is the work of our extremely respected teacher. You should have reminded me."

"Uh." Ke Qier looked confused. "I thought you found out before I did..."

"It's really time to remind him to clean up those cute things running around. The big shift is over, and Wei Xing Qi Meng is so 'vibrant' again. There is no longer any obstacle to the growth of these things, and they can mutate as much as they want."

"Uh. Indeed...then, shall we go back and talk to him now? Or shall we do it ourselves? Professor Talliqi may feel a little disappointed..."

"Very disappointing. And very blaming us. If we did it ourselves." Icha said with his signature smirk. "But it doesn't seem to be necessary now."

Keqier followed his gaze and looked forward.

He couldn't quite remember when the door was closed and when it was opened a crack. The purple light in the gap revealed a twisted figure. It looked like a combination of some kind of pumpkin, lye pea shoot, anteater and high-backed stool, constantly breaking the light and walking crookedly towards them.

It was three times as tall as they were and covered in red. Waving many arms that cannot be called arms.

When did it appear and how did it get through that crack?

"One," it said.

"Zero," it said.

"One," it said.

Ke Qier took a small step back.

"Mongrel," he said. Feeling your voice tense up. "We catch it? Uh. You catch it?"

"Ha. I don't."

"Then I'll catch it," Keqier said. He felt himself moving forward, but his body was not moving forward. This moment seemed very long. This moment was already long.

"Don't move," Icha said. His arms were hidden under his clothes, motionless.

"I didn't move." Ke Qier said forcefully. At the same time, I felt that I was not completely lying. "But it's time for us to move. Why are we here?"

"Stop talking," Icha said.

Ke Qier shut his mouth. The silence caught his heart in his throat. empty. The sound of the red creature walking was hollow. It would be nice if it had some other sound. The twisted red creature moved in front of them step by step, making a hollow sound.

Purple mist floated. Sweet smell. "One," it said. It has no facial features. The face is as plump as a ripe fig. It would be great if it could open its huge mouth and act as if it wanted to eat them viciously. After all, Icha did that all the time.

That's not terrible.

Keqier looked up at it. He was so frightened that he couldn't look away. He couldn't tell how much of it was due to his tendency to be afraid, and how much of it came from awe of Taliliqi. Talliqi's works...fortified by the power of dreams and chaos, in the bloody land...

"Zero," said the red hybrid.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Keqier heard a burst of harsh laughter. Too harsh. It temporarily pulled him out of his fear. He turned his head and looked at Yi Cha in surprise. It's the devil laughing. It's not an illusion...

He suddenly wanted to laugh too. real. Even he found it strange.

Maybe it was because I heard Yicha laughing.

"Haha." Ke Qier laughed softly.

He wasn't used to making this sound. But the urge to laugh didn't go away. "Pfft."

He smiled again. After a while, I couldn't help laughing. At the same time, Yi Cha smiled even happier.

Ke Qier and Yi Cha each laughed for a while, and then reached synchronization again. They laughed so hard that they almost vomited. The red horror hybrid is right in their faces. But all they did was laugh.

The monster stood for a moment. It seemed like I was starting to get bored. It slowly became smaller. It was almost as big as them, and then it flattened like withered petals, exposing vein-like blood vessels, and swayed backwards.

Kokiel saw the hybrid fall to the ground. Laughing so hard that I almost fainted.

"Hahaha. Are you okay? Hahaha." He pressed his mouth with a fist, struggling to fulfill the nature of an angel. He bent down and tried to pull the increasingly pitiful creature to his feet.

This action was relatively easy compared to his current state, but Yi Cha slapped him hard.

"Shaquma," said the devil. That's the devil's word for "don't move." Ke Qier turned to look at him. There was no expression on Yi Cha's face, as if nothing had happened.

"Well--"

Ke Qier was stunned. suddenly. The feeling of wanting to laugh disappeared again. He was awkwardly stuck in the middle of nowhere. Lean forward. I don't know whether to lean back or bend forward.

He quickly decided not to move. I heard Yi Cha laugh again - this time there was no trace of laughter. Keqier didn't move. He shivered when he saw the shriveled red hybrid lying on the ground. Makes a crisp sound. He seemed to laugh too.

No. The sound didn't sound like laughter.

Like the sound of venting anger. It’s not the release of breath, it’s the release of anger. If it's expressed in a language they can understand. That would be——

"snort."

A crisp female voice. He snorted as if out of anger. The air rippled, as if an invisible curtain had been lifted.

Blue-purple feathers appeared from behind the curtain, and the light leaking from the wide-open door reflected an erratic light on it. I don't know when the door opened wide. It's probably wide open all the time.

Keqier looked at the visitor from a difficult angle. My eyes widened in mental surprise. "Ah! It's you! You became-"

"Why are you laughing?"

Hikisi put her hands on her hips and kicked the hybrid's mummy aside in annoyance - she was also holding the head of another similar red hybrid in her hand. "What's so funny?"

The appearance of the harpy didn't seem to surprise Icha at all. He gathered up his cloak and propped his head up on the armrest - his appearance did not match the appearance of the throne, making it look like it was just an ordinary chair.

"A prank without laughter is the same as torture. In order to prevent your labor from ending up in such a miserable situation, we have to laugh twice more."

The demon's demeanor was pleasant in the extreme, but the harpy looked downright irritated.

"Then you let it fail? That's you! You deliberately expose it and you still say it was unintentional! With Chaint... I just want to torture you!"

"Then you can just say it."

"If I just tell you, you will let me get what I want?"

"I'm just saying, you can just say it. If you don't really mean it, your prank will pale in comparison. If we don't laugh, it won't work.

Daughter of Solena and Ifomne. Our decisive bird, Hikis. Thank you for trimming our disobedient hedges. You're not here to mess around with us - although I think it would be good for you. Say it. What are you here for? "

He turned to Kircher. "Angel. You can move."
