Chapter 1,144: It’s time to go to class, meow
Yi Xing and Millicent, whose mouths were covered, looked at Wu Nini and struggled desperately, making a "wuwu" sound.
...Wu Nini could tell that those eyes were not asking for help.
They were asking her to leave quickly.
Ask her not to accept such unreasonable demands just to save them.
...But Wu Nini knew that if she backed down here, everything would be over.
She had already made up her mind to save them.
Apostle Huangquan: "Have you finished thinking about it? If you want to accept the challenge, destroy your eyes immediately!"
Wu Nini: "...Humph."
Apostle Huang Quan: "Why, didn't you hear?"
Apostle Huangquan: "You don't understand what it means to destroy one's eyes, do you?"
Without saying a word, Wu Nini took out her claws and stabbed her eyes.
...At that moment, she instinctively wanted to get away, or at least close her eyes.
But she resisted her instinctive impulse.
Blood, mixed with the broken lens, flowed down his cheek.
Even though their mouths were sealed, Yoshiyuki and the pair could still be heard wailing pitifully.
...and bursts of commotion coming from the auditorium.
Someone was laughing.
Some people were deeply shocked and felt that Wu Nini was so stupid that she actually
...Nothing can be seen.
What appeared before my eyes was not even darkness.
...but nothingness.
It's not completely dark over there.
But indescribable... nothing.
It seemed that Apostle Huangquan was not surprised that Wu Nini would actually destroy her eyes.
He just clapped and praised Wu Nini's courage.
Of course... there was a hint of sarcasm in that tone.
He didn't understand at all why Wu Nini valued Yi Xing and Millicent's lives so much.
In his opinion, these two are not very important people to her. It was simply not worth the cost of her blindness.
He said that this was not Wu Nini’s obligation at all. The one who should be blinded here should be Erina - and he also doubted whether "that coward who always wanted to be protected by justice" had the courage to do all this.
...But Wu Nini did not hear these words. Of course there is no answer.
The pain and the psychological shock of losing her eyes made Wu Nini hang her head and fell into a coma for a while.
...Suddenly, she had a hallucination.
It feels like I'm back in elementary school.
Every time she fell asleep after class, before class, Wu Lili, her deskmate with a messy red scarf, would gently touch her head, and then whisper in her ear: "Wake up~ It’s class, meow~”
…
…
However, Wu Lili, who was naughty and gentle and always gave her great comfort, was not around.
Not to mention the owner.
No one can help her.
There are only a large number of enemies here.
...and the two Yoshiyuki who are waiting for her rescue.
Yes, they still need me...
… I have to win this battle and be prepared that they’re going to default on the money — no, they will.
Without my eyesight, I'm afraid I won't be able to take them far away...but even if I can only hold on until I can rescue them, that's fine.
Now that things have come to a point... I can only take one step and listen.
Wu Nini's consciousness barely returned to normal.
She quickly calmed down with her terrifying psychological quality, and concentrated on using all the hearing abilities of her animal ears—in this state, their sensitivity was more than ten times greater than that of human ears.
Then, Wu Nini wiped the liquid from her face and spoke quietly without any panic.
"...Are you done talking nonsense? Tell your people to hurry up."
