Anges et Démons, un film apparenté au Da Vinci Code

Chapitre 2

...Ah, it's over! Fengyin gave a bitter smile. In front of him was a locked drawer, a drawer locked with an electronic combination lock! No wonder the ghost couldn't steal it; this kind of electronic combination lock automatically alarms if the wrong password is entered even once, and forcibly removing it causes a small-scale self-destruction (the teachers are really ruthless)! In other words, unless he enters the correct password, Fengyin can't open the drawer and get the exam paper. What should he do?

"Idiot, can't you even do something this simple?" a cold voice rang out.

That cold tone, that arrogant air—no need to guess, Ye Cuo had arrived! "Oh, why is everyone here?" Feng Yin was taken aback.

"Come on, what are you doing setting off fireworks when you're sleeping so soundly! But the way someone was running for their life was quite a sight :)" Dongfang Yan stepped forward with a grin.

"Why didn't you come out to help me then?!"

"Wouldn't that mean we'd miss out on a good show?"

"..." Damn it, I finally understand what this bastard's bad habit is -- a devil who plays pranks on people! Fengyin looked at Guangyan and started to wail in his heart: 555, the girl saw my embarrassing side, how tragic!

Guangyan didn't look at him, but gazed at Ye Cuo with adoration, and said softly, "What should we do, Senior Cuo?"

Ye Cuo surprisingly revealed a mischievous smile, then brandished the tools in his hand—four sharp knives.

Reply [8]: "Phew, I didn't expect that could be done like this!" Seal blew the wood chips off his hands and then took out the exam paper.

"That's the difference between a genius and an idiot."

"Hmph~~~~~" (I bet you're so capable because you always do these underhanded things!)

How exactly were they sealed away?

It's really simple. They just cut a hole in the bottom of the drawer with a knife, removed the wooden board, reached in, and took out the exam paper.

"The teachers are so stupid, using such a complicated electronic lock, but they didn't think of using a steel table that matches this lock!" The seal handed a large stack of exam papers to Ghost (let him have as many as he wants), and seeing Ghost's ecstatic expression, the seal couldn't help but start talking again.

"Do you think teachers are that stupid? Besides, if it weren't for the perfect security system in the archives, teachers wouldn't feel comfortable using wooden desks. And besides, which teacher have you ever seen using an iron or steel desk?" Guangyan chuckled.

"That security system..."

"I cracked it!" Dongfang Yan smiled. "You probably don't know, but I was born into a wealthy family. We have tons of these kinds of things at home. I learned how to crack them when I was little, just to sneak out and play! How could we just watch you trigger the mechanism and attract the school police? No matter how clumsy you are, you're still our dear companion~~~~"

Ye Cuo shook his head helplessly: "Please hurry up, I still need to sleep!" Why did God give him such a talkative group of companions!

"Spirit Talisman - Dispel Resentment!"

In a flash of white light, the ghost holding the exam paper vanished, satisfied. And then... it left the four of them with a huge blanket!

"Ah! We're doomed, we're going to die~~" The four of them screamed in despair afterward, only remembering something. But it was too late.

Do you know what happened?

Hehe~~ The ghosts took the exam papers, how are they going to return them to the teacher? The exam is on the second day... :)

And so, the Heavenly Spirit Team's first mission was completed. However, the 1000 yuan salary they earned from sealing was used to pay for photocopying exam papers—a decision made by all three of them. After all, he was so generous as to give all the papers to the ghost; the fault was his alone, not theirs!

Reply [9]: The half-open balcony door was gently pushed open, and a person quietly walked in. The girls in the dormitory were fast asleep, completely unaware that an outsider had sneaked in. Walking to the head of one of the girls' beds, the intruder used the faint moonlight streaming into the room to examine the girl on the bed. Soon, he stomped his foot angrily, turned around, and walked out. Then, he jumped off the balcony. Behind him, a pair of black wings "whooshed" open.

Reply [10]: Tianling Indoor

"My money, my beloved money, I miss you so much, 55555," Fengyin wailed weakly as he lay on the bed.

Ye Cuo buried his head in the pillow, muttering, "Stupid Egg, aren't you annoying? You've been nagging for three days straight!" Last time, during the ghost-slaying incident, Stupid Egg's sealing mistake caused the exam papers to disappear. To make up for this huge error, the three of them spent the entire night photocopying the papers to make up for it. (Just kidding, if they didn't get the papers back, the Heavenly Spirit Team would be discovered! They also fixed the table while they were at it.) The photocopying fee shouldn't have been 1000 yuan, but the three of them, using the excuse of working all night, justified splitting the sealing fee among themselves. Without the seal of money, his nightly lamentations about money began.

"Hmph, you damn transvestite, how could you possibly understand how important money is to me!"

"Damn it!" Ye Cuo roared back, "If you call me a transvestite again, I'll make you regret it! You money-grubbing idiot!"

"..." The pillow hit Ye Cuo's back accurately.

"You're asking for it!"

Upon entering, she was greeted by this lively scene. Having narrowly dodged a flying English book, Dongfang Yan said with a wry smile, "Stop fighting, there's a new task!"

The seal, who was holding an idiom dictionary and about to throw it, stopped first: "Ayan, what is this thing this time?"

Dongfang Yan gave a strange smile: "This time it's up to Xiao Yan :)"

After finishing fencing practice, exhausted Guangyan returned to her dormitory only to be called aside by Dongfang Yan. "Is there something you need, Captain Dongfang?"

"Xiao Yan, this mission requires your hard work!"

"I?"

"Yes. The principal asked Shinichi-sensei to say that recently some students in the girls' dormitory have noticed strange people going in at night, and those people can even fly. They might be demons!"

"But what does that have to do with me?"

"The dorm that guy went to is home to the most beautiful girls in every department~~ If I remember correctly, you're the most beautiful girl in the Foreign Languages department, right? So, why don't you go for a walk around campus and see if you can lure that guy over! Just to be safe, Ah Cuo will go with you, that way he won't make a move outside. Tonight we'll..."

Reply [11]: The next night, the spirit room

The slightly ajar door was pushed open, and a dark figure darted in. As he reached the middle of the dormitory, the four who had been pretending to be asleep immediately jumped out of bed and began their battle. Dongfang Yan attacked first, his hands forming strange hand seals, from which faint white light shot out, trapping the newcomer in a circle of light. Simultaneously, a talisman was activated, assisting Dongfang Yan in casting a demon-trapping array. When the newcomer tried to escape through the incomplete array, Ye Cuo's dagger accurately intercepted him, forcing him back into the array. Guang Yan hurriedly ran to lock the door, turn on the lights, and close the windows, preparing to trap him.

"How dare you treat the esteemed Earl like this! It's utterly disrespectful!" Under the lamplight, a handsome young man with black wings, blond hair, and green eyes stood within the demon-trapping array, loudly rebuking him. (In terms of being unreasonable yet assertive, he certainly fits the description.)

Dongfang Yan glanced at the boy's black wings and said calmly, "So you're a vampire demon! Your demonic power isn't weak; you can still maintain your human form within my demon-trapping array. Not bad~~"

"Stop talking nonsense and let me out, or you'll regret it!"

The seal sneered, "You ignorant demon, how dare you be more arrogant than me! Ah Yan, quickly send it on its way with the spirit sword!"

"Wait!" Guangyan hurriedly stopped him. "Captain, don't kill him yet! He didn't do anything wrong!"

Fengyin rolled his eyes at her, annoyed: "Please, don't just like anything pretty, okay? He's a demon! Besides, sneaking into the girls' dormitory at night to peep, he's a damned demon scum!"

Dongfang Yan looked at the boy: "Why did you go to the girls' dormitory in the middle of the night? Did you want to suck blood?"

The boy curled his lip: "Hmph~~ I don't drink that kind of low-class beverage made from human blood. I'm here to find my bride."

"A bride?!" the seal exclaimed. "You think this violent woman is suitable to be a bride?!"

(Thump! A heavy thud was heard. Without even looking, it was clear the seal had been kicked and was now "resting" on the ground.)

The boy continued, "Since I was little, I've wanted to marry a beautiful woman. I've heard that there are many beautiful women at Tiannan Academy, but I've searched for many days and none of them have captured my heart. Until yesterday, I saw her, and I knew that she was the one I'd been searching for all along, the love of my life!" (Feng Yin vomits, Ye Cuo's face turns pale, Dongfang Yan suppresses a laugh, and Guang Yan blushes.)

Kneeling slightly, the young man looked at his beloved woman and said affectionately, "My love, please marry me! Do you know how smooth and radiant your skin is? Your eyes are like the brightest stars in the night sky, your red lips can make millions submit, and with your long, flowing black hair, you are more beautiful than an elf in the night!"

---janeadam

Reply [12]: Guangyan, who was listening intently and was completely absorbed in the conversation, suddenly paused: "Long hair? I have short hair!"

The boy looked at her, puzzled. "I wasn't talking about you. Although you're cute, how can you compare to this beauty?" He pointed to his goddess—Ye Cuo.

......

Silence. Then came a deafening burst of laughter from the seal. Dongfang Yan shook her head and pulled the dazed Guang Yan aside, while Ye Cuo glared angrily at the boy with a livid face.

His appearance had brought him much humiliation since childhood, and being mistaken for a girl was his greatest hatred. Now, not only was he being treated as a woman, but the other person was even proposing to him—how outrageous! Ye Cuo's anger was even greater than when someone called him a freak. Enraged, he disregarded the danger and rushed into the demon-trapping array, intending to teach the boy a lesson. The boy immediately pounced on him, holding him tightly. (Imagine the lecherous Moroboshi Ataru clinging to the crow princess's leg.)

"open!"

"I won't let go! You are the person I love most, I will never let go, even if it kills me!"

"I'm a man!"

"A man?... I don't care, you're so beautiful, I'd want a man too!" Having finally found someone I like, what does gender matter!

"If you don't let me go, I'll get rough with you!" Ye Cuo brandished a small knife.

"Go ahead and hit me, I'm yours now~~ Hit me if you want! Hitting is a sign of affection, scolding is a sign of love, come on! My darling!" The boy hugged Ye Cuo even tighter, his eyes brimming with tears as he looked at him.

"..." This guy is a pervert! How disgusting! Hitting him would get my hands dirty~~ But if I don't let him let go, am I just supposed to let him carry me down like this? Helpless, Ye Cuo started asking for help.

"Dongfang, please help me."

"Ah, I used too much spiritual energy setting up the array, I haven't recovered yet." Dongfang Yan showed an innocent and cute smile. Damn it, she's clearly looking for a good show.

"Guangyan, classmate."

"Sigh, I can't even beat you." Guangyan said, feeling a little sad. "He's so handsome, I can't bring myself to hit him. I'm sorry, Senior Ye."

"...Benzene, no, Sealed Student."

"Oh! You're begging me?" Seizing the rare opportunity to see Ye Cuo make a fool of himself, Feng Yin wasn't about to let it slip by: "You're actually afraid?!"

Damn it, it's not fear, it's disgust! I don't want to fight this kind of pervert! Ye Cuo glared hatefully at the grinning Feng Yin, but quickly he thought of his final trump card. "Idiot, help me kill him, I'll give you 1000 yuan!"

Reply [13]: 1 second later. Someone's eyes lit up, and he grabbed a rice bowl and rushed over. His momentum was so fierce that the boy couldn't help but feel cold and let go. Ye Cuo took the opportunity to rush out of the formation. Then the seal and the boy began a farce of chasing and hitting each other.

"Bang! Crack! Crack!" After being pounded on the head countless times by a greedy man who had bravely fought the enemy, the boy finally surrendered. He glanced at Ye Cuo with resentment, then revealed his bat form and collapsed to the ground. At that moment, Dongfang Yan had his sword in hand, and his spirit sword [Hen] unleashed an arc. In the dazzling white light, the bat twitched a few times in resentment, then squeaked and disappeared.

"I didn't kill it, I just sent it back." Smiling at everyone, Dongfang Yan slowly said, "But before it left, it said it would definitely come back to marry you! Little mistake :)"

Then the three of them saw Ye Cuo turn pale and collapse with a thud.

P.S. Tianling Room is the only dormitory where boys and girls can live together, as arranged by the principal. And there are no other dormitories around it... it's very remote and secluded.

Reply [14]: It was another peaceful night. Dongfang Yan was still reading his book of spells, Feng Yin was still happily counting his income, Guang Yan was staring blankly at the photos of handsome men and beautiful women from Tiannan Academy that she had bought from Feng Yin, and Ye Cuo was lying on the bed in a daze.

"Hey, Ye Cuo, what's wrong? Something on your mind?" Feng Yin was the first to notice Ye Cuo's unusual behavior. He couldn't help but ask, "You should be sleeping like a log by now. Why are you spacing out today?"

"This," Ye Cuo began, but then stopped mid-sentence.

Dongfang Yan closed the book and smiled, "Just tell me what's wrong. We're good friends, I'll definitely help you!"

Taking a deep breath, Ye Cuo slowly said, "I don't know why, but I've felt something strange these past few days, like, like something bad is about to happen."

The seal smiled and said, "Don't worry, it should be fine. Even with my strong intuition, I haven't sensed anything. Besides, even if something does happen, we'll help you. Sleep peacefully."
