The playground shrouded in black fog allowed Mu Jinyu to barely make out so blurry images nearby because he was handling two ghostly faces.
But when he turned around, there were no longer any vague figures to be seen on the playground; the ghost mist was pervasive, and no responses could be garnered.
"Hm?!"
Suddenly, Mu Jinyu realized that there was also sothing wrong with this ghost mist—it was another demon!
"Woo woo woo..."
"Heh heh heh..."
Utilizing the abilities of the ghost-faced demon, cries and howls arose, and the gradually encroaching ghost mist was severely damaged, beginning to drift toward a nearby teaching building!
Mu Jinyu's eyes narrowed, and the sinister smiles and crying faces on his visage instantly disappeared, leaving his face expressionless, like that of a dead corpse.
In an instant, it was as if an invisible force surged towards the patch of ghost mist!
Suddenly, the ghost mist, which had been crushed to covering only half the size of the playground, was pressed into a small spot by a mysterious force, resembling a piece of cotton candy.
This dark cotton candy, with nurous twisted ghostly faces faintly visible within, then floated automatically towards Mu Jinyu.
Mu Jinyu took out a palm-sized golden container and stuffed it inside; he closed the box, tucking it back into his backpack.
With the ghost mist demon confined, the playground was no longer pitch dark and impossible to see through, and with Mu Jinyu's notable vision, he could discern that Sheng Rulai and the others, who should have been on the playground, had indeed beco separated from him when he had gone to chase the ghost rope demon.
"How did the people suddenly disappear?"
Mu Jinyu frowned and muttered to himself.
He had thought it was because the ghost mist was interfering that he didn't notice Sheng Rulai and the others.
But now that the ghost mist was dealt with and they were still missing, it ant they had truly beco separated.
"Was it Li Yaotong's doing?"
Mu Jinyu speculated in his mind.
Then, he looked around, unsure of where to head next.
They had initially planned to check the dormitory building first, as the demonic and ghostly aura diffusing from it was not so intense.
There might just be one or two demons.
But now separated from the group, including the increasingly odd-behaving Li Yaotong, Mu Jinyu was considering whether to go to the dormitory building alone to investigate or look elsewhere for the separated individuals.
"Forget it, let's head to the dormitory building first to take a look. If they're okay, they should also co over to this side of the dorm building, right?"
In the end, Mu Jinyu made the decision to head to the dormitory building first to see if he could find the separated people.
...
At that ti.
While Mu Jinyu was chasing after the ghost rope.
Lucifer also followed in pursuit, preparing to compete with Mu Jinyu for the ghost rope.
He thought the ghost rope was pretty good, and if he used it for control, he would certainly be able to easily subdue two demons at once.
After all, it looked like it could easily suppress other demons.
However, as Lucifer chased after him, Mu Jinyu disappeared from sight, and when Lucifer looked back, Sheng Rulai, Ren Xiaoyao, and their party had all vanished too.
"Hm? Did we encounter another demon?"
Lucifer had just been hung up by the ghost rope once, and had he not had the Dharma Protector Artifact given by Mu Jinyu, he would have already died once.
He knew that with his current strength at the Half-Step Divine Realm, facing a terrifying demon, survival would be difficult. Newest update provıded by NoveI[F]ire
"Damn it, had I known, I wouldn't have chased after it. What now?"
Realizing he was separated from the group and alone, Lucifer felt a bit panicky.
"Heh heh heh..."
At this mont, from inside a nearby teaching building, a faintly discernible eerie laugh could be heard.
"Hmm? Did the Dragon King run over there?"
Lucifer's eyes flickered, "Didn't we agree to go to the dormitory building first? Why did they run to the teaching building? That place clearly looks more dangerous."
"Is it because they thought I got separated and went over there? So they ran to find ?"
Lucifer kept guessing in his mind, and finally, after so thought, he didn't dare to head to the dormitory building alone. If it were just so minor demons, he believed he could deal with them using his Golden Weapon, but if he encountered sothing like the Ghost Rope just now, he would be completely outmatched.
Although the teaching building seed to be a bit more dangerous, if everyone was over there, it might be safer.
Soon, Lucifer carefully arrived at the first classroom of the first teaching building and saw Li Yaotong standing at the door, seemingly keeping watch for others.
Seeing Li Yaotong, Lucifer let out a long sigh of relief, feeling that his judgnt was correct. If he had run to the dormitory building just now and hadn't encountered any demons, he might have been able to retreat, but if he had encountered one, it likely would have been bad news.
"Mr. Li, why are you standing here? Where is everyone?"
Lucifer walked over and asked Li Yaotong.
Li Yaotong turned around, and when he saw it was Lucifer, he too, sighed in relief and replied, "Eh, you really did co over here. They're all in this classroom, there's a student demon inside, and they're keeping it contained. I'm keeping watch for them; if any demons co by, I'll knock on the door to let them know to co out and help ."
"Is that so?" Upon hearing Li Yaotong's words, Lucifer no longer thought about bursting in to fight with Mu Jinyu and the others for the demon.
Suddenly, Li Yaotong's expression turned surprised, and he shouted at Lucifer, "Look at the end of the corridor... is that person a demon?"
Hearing Li Yaotong's words, Lucifer also looked in the direction of his pointing finger, and saw at the end of the corridor stood a delicate and pretty little girl who looked like a normal person.
But because her complexion was too pale, and considering the Ghost School they were in, he didn't believe for a second that the girl was normal.
"Swing, swing, swing to grandma's bridge..."
Hearing this nursery rhy, Lucifer had a flash of insight and cursed, "Fuck, that's the Nursery Rhy Witch..."
With that, he frantically began to bang on the iron door of the classroom.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
At this mont, he didn't stop to wonder why Li Yaotong, who had clearly explained the dangers of the nursery rhy demon so clearly at the last eting, had just failed to recognize the Nursery Rhy Witch.
Lucifer only thought that facing such a tough situation, they had to quickly get Mu Jinyu and the others to co and take control!
"Bang! Bang! Bang..."
Lucifer kept knocking on the door, and then, he suddenly realized that the classroom door was not opening, and inside, knocking sounds were starting to co out as well!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Similar to his own knocking rhythm, but more urgent, violent, and crazed with each knock growing heavier and more forceful than the last.
"This..."
Listening to the knocking sounds coming from inside, Lucifer's face turned pale, and he imdiately guessed that the situation for Mu Jinyu and the others inside was likely dire. The demon inside was a Great Demon as dangerous as the Nursery Rhy Witch, called Midnight Knock.
He rembered Li Yaotong saying that if you encounter this demon knocking on your door late at night, once you opened the door, death was certain!
And what difference was there between this pitch-black Ghost School and the dead of night?
Facing this knocking ghost, surely death was certain!
Lucifer imdiately prepared to escape before the Nursery Rhy and Midnight Knocking Ghost could get out. He turned around and saw...
Behind him was Li Yaotong—no...
It wasn't Li Yaotong; it was Le Le from Paradise Lost!
When did he get here?
Where was Li Yaotong?
"Farewell!"
Le Le wore a cold smile on his face as he gently patted Lucifer's shoulder.
Lucifer wanted to say sothing, but his consciousness simply vanished.
His body thudded softly to the ground!
