"Doesn't it seem strange? It was Chen Xiao who betrayed you! If you want to hate someone, you should hate Chen Xiao." Hiroko Takashiro opened her bloodied hand and tore off Kitami's clothes.
Her beautiful, delicate body was so captivating.
It's impossible to look away from her.
"Indeed, your scent and aroma are exactly what I need."
"What do you mean?" Kitami asked anxiously.
"My body cannot fully unleash the dark magic in the Dark Bible! But you are different. Your body and soul are the most perfect. It is indeed fate that you were born to be in the school! So that I could possess your body!"
Kitami felt that someone was looking in their direction.
She looked up and saw the doorway.
Chen Xiao and Saeki Kaori were deeply in love.
"Saeki, you're here? Chen Xiaojun is here too, that's wonderful." Hiroko Takashiro stepped forward with delight and shoved Chen Xiao's head against her chest.
"Chen Xiao, how does your heartbeat sound?"
"Your heart is beating so fast," Chen Xiao said casually, inhaling Takashiro Hiroko's scent.
"That's because I get nervous when I see you. I can't forget the memories from the infirmary, even though it was only half a day ago," Hiroko Takashiro said greedily. "Save me," Kitami pleaded, speaking to Chen Xiao as he entered.
“You’re about to be saved!” Hiroko Takashiro gestured and glanced at Chen Xiao. “Kitami trusts you a lot. Now, give Kitami a real gift.”
"What do you mean?"
"What you did to me in the infirmary, you can do to Kitami now, but remember! You mustn't..."
"Why not? Are you afraid of having children? But judging from your current crazy behavior, you probably don't have any moral bottom line." After saying that, Chen Xiao came to Bei Jian's side. "Sorry for dragging you into this."
"Chen Xiaojun, why... did this happen?" Bei Jian stared intently at him.
"Trust me, I will protect you," Chen Xiao said gently as she sat on Bei Jian's lap.
"You lied to me!! I hate you, you're the one who ruined me!" Kitami realized that Chen Xiao had been colluding with Takashiro Hiroko from the very beginning, it must be like that.
"That's right! Chen Xiaojun betrayed you to join our Occult Research Society! Chen Xiaojun, you can make your move against her now."
Chapter Ten: The Eloquent Kaori Saeki
Chen Xiao's fingers gently stroked Bei Jian's pale cheek, his fingertips caressing the tear stains at the corners of her eyes, his voice low and gentle: "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."
Kitami Reika's unfocused pupils focused slightly as they met Chen Xiao's deep, night-like eyes.
His handsome face flickered in the candlelight, which inexplicably lessened the fear in her heart.
"What...what exactly do you want to do?" Kitami asked weakly, his voice barely audible.
Chen Xiao leaned close to her ear, his warm breath brushing against her earlobe: "Not now...too many eyes are watching us. I'm sorry, you'll have to make do for now."
Kitami closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly. She could feel Chen Xiao's fingers slowly moving down her neck, sending shivers down her spine. An ambiguous atmosphere filled the air, a mixture of the scent of blood and sandalwood.
Hiroko Takashiro observed all of this coldly, her scarlet tongue licking her lips. She gripped the Dark Bible tightly in her hand, her knuckles turning white from the force.
"What disgusting gentleness," she sneered, a hint of barely perceptible jealousy lurking in her voice.
When everything returned to calm, Kitami collapsed helplessly to the ground, the bloodstains beneath him appearing an eerie dark red in the candlelight. Chen Xiao stood up, turned to Takashiro Hiroko, his eyes suddenly sharpening: "What exactly is your purpose?"
Hiroko Takashiro suddenly ripped open her uniform, revealing skin covered in runes. Holding the Dark Bible aloft, her voice rose sharply: "Now, witness a true miracle!"
In an instant, the entire room was plunged into absolute darkness.
Only a few candle flames turned an eerie, ghostly green, outlining a massive inverted pentagram in the void. Several girls dressed in black robes emerged from the shadows, their hands gripping Chen Xiao's limbs like iron clamps.
"This is..." Chen Xiao tried to break free, but found that these girls were incredibly strong.
The ancient runes on the ceiling began to flow, twisting and deforming as if they were alive. A blinding golden light suddenly pierced the darkness, and a strangely shaped spear slowly appeared—the spear shaft was wrapped with dragon-shaped patterns, and the spearhead gleamed with a blood-red cold light.
"The Spear of Longinus..." Chen Xiao's pupils shrank, and his voice carried a rare hint of shock.
Kaori Saeki emerged gracefully from the shadows, her slender fingers tracing Chen Xiao's face: "The legendary Holy Lance that pierced Jesus' ribs, a divine weapon imbued with the power to slay gods." Her fingertips were icy cold as snakes. "Unfortunately, a mortal body cannot withstand its power..."
"So you chose Kitami?" Chen Xiao's gaze swept over the dying girl.
“Her constitution is very special.” Saeki Kaori chuckled. “Only when humanity is at its most vulnerable can divinity take advantage of the situation.” She leaned down and breathed softly into Chen Xiao’s ear. “And you… dear Chen Xiao, you just perfectly helped her release her humanity.”
The magic circle in the center of the room began to spin rapidly, and the Spear of Longinus emitted a piercing hum. Hiroko Takashiro spread her arms, her black robes billowing even without wind: "Come! Let the sacred vessel contain this supreme power!"
Just when Hiroko Takashiro was convinced that her evil scheme had succeeded, an unexpected turn of events occurred.
In an instant, Chen Xiao's muscles taut like steel cables, each muscle brimming with terrifying explosive power. The girls who had been blocking Chen Xiao's path felt an overwhelming force strike them, their bodies being violently sent flying uncontrollably, scattering in all directions like kites with broken strings.
Hiroko Takashiro's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief and shock as she stared intently at Chen Xiao, as if she were looking at a demon who had walked out of hell.
At this moment, Chen Xiao's somewhat cynical figure stood like a towering mountain, firmly blocking Bei Jian's path. Bei Jian, whose body was originally weak and trembling, raised his head slightly, his eyes filled with complex emotions, staring intently at Chen Xiao's broad and solid back.
"Ha, now I finally understand your scheme." Chen Xiao let out a hearty laugh, the sound echoing in the air. "I pride myself on being a righteous person, how could I just stand by and watch you hurt my Kitami!"
"You're asking for death!" Hiroko Takashiro roared, her face flushed with rage. At the same time, Kaori Saeki, seeing this, flashed forward like a ghost, silently attacking Chen Xiao from behind. She gripped a sharp dagger tightly in her hand, its cold light gleaming, and thrust it straight towards Chen Xiao's back.
Chen Xiao, however, seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. His eyes sharpened, and he threw a punch with his backhand. This punch, imbued with the immense power of the One-Punch Man talent granted by the system, was like a cannonball launched from a gun, accompanied by a whistling sound, unstoppable.
With a deafening "bang!", Kaori Saeki felt an irresistible force strike her, her body instantly feeling as if it had been hit by a heavy hammer, her internal organs seemingly displaced. Then, her body shattered into pieces like a broken glass ball, her clothes also being torn to shreds and falling in a flurry.
The people around watched this scene with eyes full of terror, as if they had witnessed the most horrific thing in the world, and their bodies trembled involuntarily.
"Damn it!" Hiroko Takashiro had already realized that something was wrong. Her face was ashen, and she said through gritted teeth, "You've been pretending all along. It was an elaborate deception from the very beginning. You even used Kitami to infiltrate our Occult Research Club as an undercover agent?"
Hiroko Takashiro's pupils contracted slightly. She did not panic or back down, but calmly assessed the situation before her.
Her fingertips lightly traced her palm, and the meaningful smile still lingered on her lips, as if she was still searching for an opportunity to turn the tide.
She still has a trump card!
—At this moment, Saeki Kaori's actions shocked everyone!
With a swift movement, she crawled forward on her knees and knelt before Chen Xiao, her voice soft and trembling, her words flowing like a silver tongue: "...Please, let me go! I'll do anything!"
Her eyelashes were adorned with pitiful tears, and when she looked up, her eyes were weak, as if she had completely surrendered.
Chen Xiao narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing her expression. Seeing Saeki Kaori's silver tongue, he suddenly chuckled softly, "...I see."
He saw through her act, but didn't expose her. Instead, he reached out and patted her head: "As long as you sincerely repent, of course I'm willing to forgive you. After all, everyone has the right to change! After all, God loves the world, doesn't He?"
His gaze swept sideways at Hiroko Takashiro, tinged with a hint of provocation, “—Even someone like you.”
"Saeki?!" Hiroko's voice suddenly rose, almost cracking.
She stared intently at Kaori, her eyes swirling with rage, disbelief, and a deep sense of betrayal.
However, Saeki Kaori merely covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes sparkling with a sly charm: "Oh dear, Hiroko, how could you accuse me of betrayal? I've simply found a better place for myself, you know?" She leaned against Chen Xiao's leg, looking up at him, and continued her silver tongue, "Compared to those boring black magic... indeed, Brother Chen Xiao is the one who truly captivates me~"
"Tsk," Chen Xiao chuckled, his eyes amused. "Although I know you're acting, it does sound quite pleasant."
Just then, he caught a glimpse of Kitami struggling to get up behind him out of the corner of his eye. He quickly turned around, supported her swaying body, and his voice instantly softened: "Kitami, you're awake? Don't be afraid, I told you... no one can hurt you anymore."

Chapter Eleven: Slay the Demon Satan and Seize the Dark Bible
Kitami Reika staggered out of Chen Xiao's arms, her slender fingers clutching her torn clothes tightly. She lowered her head, unable to meet Chen Xiao's eyes, her pale lips trembling slightly: "From the very beginning... you were just using me, weren't you..."
The dark red bloodstain on the ground gleamed eerily in the candlelight, as if silently accusing something.
Hiroko Takashiro raised her chin with a cold smile, her black robes fluttering in the magical torrent: "You think this is the end?" She suddenly opened her arms, and incantations poured out from the Dark Bible, transforming into countless black chains that pierced straight at the Spear of Longinus suspended in mid-air.
"Not good!" Chen Xiao's eyes sharpened, and he instantly shielded Bei Jian behind him. His figure shot into the sky like an arrow, just as the black chains were about to touch the Holy Lance—
boom!
A dazzling golden light suddenly erupted, and Chen Xiao's body and the Holy Spear merged perfectly. Time seemed to stand still at this moment; every inch of his skin flowed with sacred patterns, and ancient Hebrew runes were reflected in his pupils.
This is...? Chen Xiao stared in shock at his hands. His once slender fingers were now wreathed in dragon-shaped light patterns, and his muscles displayed perfect divine proportions. Even more astonishing was the indescribable power surging within him, especially...
He glanced down at it, then immediately looked away. This body had become the legendary perfect vessel, even its most intimate parts had been transformed into symbols of divinity.
Kaori Saeki dropped the grimoire in her hand with a thud. Her eyes widened, her red lips parted slightly: "Impossible... How could a mortal withstand the Spear of Longinus..." Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly clutched her chest and staggered back, a sickly blush appearing on her face.
Hiroko Takashiro's expression changed drastically, and the black magic chains in her hands snapped inch by inch: "Damn it! Who are you?!"
Chen Xiao landed slowly, each step leaving a glowing footprint on the stone slab. He clenched his fist, feeling the surging divine power within him, and suddenly a playful smile appeared on his face: "Now..."
The patterns on his right arm lit up, transforming into a spear of light: "It's time for a reckoning."
Hiroko Takashiro's cold laughter sounded particularly jarring in the darkness. She frantically flipped through the pages of the Dark Bible in her hand, dark red blood beads seeping from the yellowed pages.
"Chen Xiao, I underestimated you." Her voice suddenly became hoarse, as if countless voices were roaring at the same time, "But do you think this will stop me?"
As she uttered the obscure incantation, a massive fissure suddenly opened in the ground. A torrent of scorching sulfurous fumes erupted, and from the dark crack, a bronze gate, carved with distorted human faces, slowly rose. Countless chains were bound to the gate, each chain trembling violently, as if binding some terrifying being.
This is… Chen Xiao’s pupils contracted sharply, and he instinctively gripped the Spear of Longinus tighter in his hand. A burning, stinging sensation emanated from the spear, seemingly warning him of the approaching danger.
Kaori Saeki staggered back to Chen Xiao's side, her voice trembling: "Master, that 'Dark Bible'... it's not an ordinary grimoire at all." A flicker of fear crossed her eyes. "It was written with the holy blood of Jesus during his crucifixion, and later corrupted by the power of Satan..."
The howling wind scattered Saeki Kaori's remaining words. One by one, the chains on the gates of hell snapped, and the heavy doors slowly began to open.
Satan? Chen Xiao frowned. "You mean, she's summoning..."
“That’s right.” Saeki Kaori swallowed hard. “Lucifer, son of the morning star, the leader of the fallen angels…”
The first jet-black claw emerged from the crack in the door, its sharp nails carving deep furrows in the floor. The temperature in the room suddenly rose, and blood began to seep from the walls.
Chen Xiao felt the holy spear in his hand suddenly become scorching hot, and the tip of the spear emitted a dazzling golden light. He looked down and found that ancient Hebrew script appeared on his arm—a prayer recorded in the Bible, specifically used to fight against demons.
It seems… Chen Xiao took a deep breath, assumed a fighting stance, and said, “I have no choice but to give it a try.”
Ancient Hebrew script flowed across the surface of the holy spear, each rune shimmering with divine light. Chen Xiao could feel the pulse emanating from the spear, as if it were alive, resonating with his heartbeat.
Roar--
With a deafening roar, the gates of hell swung wide open. The legendary fallen angel revealed its true form—a three-meter-tall body covered in dark red scales, thorns coiled around its curved horns, and six pairs of tattered wings dripping corrosive slime. Most horrifying of all was the gaping maw of its abdomen from which countless tentacles spewed forth.
Hiroko Takashiro knelt on the ground, her voice trembling with fervor: "Great Lord, please punish this blasphemer! He has stolen the sacred artifacts you have given to your believers!"
Satan's vertical pupils locked onto the Spear of Longinus in Chen Xiao's hand, and suddenly he let out a piercing laugh: "Interesting... a mere human can actually wield a god-slaying spear?"
Before the words were even finished, dozens of barbed tentacles attacked like lightning! The tip of each tentacle split into three parts, revealing sharp teeth.
"Back off!"
Chen Xiao roared, and the Holy Spear suddenly burst forth with dazzling golden light. His figure transformed into a streak of light, and wherever the spear tip passed, tentacles snapped off, spurting out foul-smelling black blood.
