Accompanying the sound of explosions, the entire school shook violently, the walls of the already dilapidated teaching building cracked, stones fell, and smoke and dust filled the air, as if it could collapse at any mont.
Did the Alchemy Dirty Bomb buried at the school gate explode?
The sudden change caught Lu Yibei off guard. Without bothering to pick up the photos that had fallen to the ground, she flashed to a corner of the classroom, leaning against the wall with her Lingtai Pure Karma protecting her.
A mont later, the shaking subsided, and in the thick smoke that filled the air, the entire campus fell into dead silence.
Then...
This school, which was eerie in every way, shed its disguise.
As if sothing terrifying had suddenly arrived, a weak, hidden, yet extrely widespread Spiritual Energy fluctuation perated the air, enveloping the entire Banshan Elentary School, and then continued to extend outwards, beyond Lu Yibei's spiritual sense range.
This Spiritual Energy fluctuation...
Is it deliberately spreading the Spiritual Energy fluctuation to the maximum range to prevent from locking onto the specific location?
Lu Yibei thought, waiting quietly in place for a mont, then cautiously approached the window and looked towards the direction of the school gate.
Just as she had guessed, the loud noise and screams just now were caused by the explosion of the Alchemy Dirty Bomb.
To prevent possible enemies tailing her from being able to dodge a single Alchemy Dirty Bomb explosion, when she set up those Alchemy Dirty Bombs, she deliberately linked all the triggered Spells placed on the Alchemy Dirty Bombs, so that touching one would affect all of them.
As long as one of them was triggered, the remaining forty-odd bombs would explode together, covering a radius of about fifty ters around the Banshan Elentary School gate with artillery fire, effectively delivering a powerful blow to any potential enemies.
Now, soone had indeed sneaked into Banshan Elentary School behind her, and thus, those Alchemy Dirty Bombs were detonated.
The ground near the school gate was torn apart and sank into the hidden underground mine shaft, where flas burned fiercely.
Looking from afar, it couldn't help but remind one of the famous tourist attraction in Turknistan - the Door to Hell, which has been burning for nearly fifty years and still hasn't gone out.
But... where is the enemy?
Lu Yibei stared at the burning flas in front of the school gate, frowning.
The loud noise caused by the explosion and that Spiritual Energy fluctuation arrived almost at the sa ti.
According to Lu Yibei's inference, it was highly likely that one or more powerful enemies had followed her and accidentally triggered the Alchemy Dirty Bombs buried at the school gate.
Now, the Spiritual Energy fluctuation covering the entire campus has ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) not dissipated, proving that the enemy was not fatally injured in the explosion, and at the sa ti, the enemy has disappeared, which ans they may have quickly hidden themselves after the explosion.
After figuring this out, Lu Yibei's mood beca a little heavy.
Although she already knew that soone was tailing her into the school and could prepare in advance to avoid being caught off guard when facing them directly.
However, the fact that the other party was able to quickly hide after being attacked by dozens of Alchemy Dirty Bombs ant that their level of strength had, to so extent, exceeded her expectations.
“......”
How about... I retreat first?
I'm not so righteous person, there's no need to talk about martial arts ethics. This is Hua City territory, we can gang up on them, why should I fight alone?
After I get out, I'll go to Happiness Community, or directly report the abnormal Spiritual Energy fluctuation here to the Night Watch, bring enough helpers, and co back later, it's not too late!
Tsk, this ti I really miscalculated. I should have brought seventy or eighty urban legend with from the beginning and just turned this damn place upside down.
With this thought, Lu Yibei reviewed the planned escape route in her mind.
However...
Just as she was about to put away the commorative album and the half-torn photo she had just found and temporarily leave Banshan Elentary School, she found that only the commorative album had fallen to the ground, lying face down, quietly.
The photo that had been torn in half had disappeared.
What's going on? Where's the photo? Was it blown away by the air current from the explosion just now?
Could it be pressed under the commorative album?
Lu Yibei thought, her gaze searching the classroom filled with broken tables and chairs, but she didn't find the two photos. Her gaze fell on the commorative album.
After a slight pause, she cautiously approached, used her Lingtai Pure Karma to lift a corner of the commorative album, flipped it hard, and then...
“Swish—!”
Accompanied by the rustling sound of papers scattering, a massive amount of photos, like a flood breaking a dam, continuously poured out of the commorative album and scattered all over the floor.
So of the photos were already yellowed, while others were brand new, recording a wide variety of content, whether it was a souvenir photo from a trip, a group photo from a birthday party, or simply a mont captured in a corner of the campus.
However, after seeing the content of the photos, Lu Yibei's heart skipped a beat, her eyes widened, and she jumped back a distance.
In more than half of those photos, her figure appeared.
There were photos from almost every period, from when she was just born until she was eighteen or nineteen, but they were all images in her non-urban legend state.
Soone has been monitoring my life for a long ti and taking photos, but I didn't notice at all?
Could this ♦ not be Qinan Bamboo?
You even take pictures of eating and sleeping, why don't you take pictures of bathing? You're probably a pervert!
Suddenly, a terrifying thought popped into Lu Yibei's mind.
Since the person secretly monitoring her could take these photos, they probably already knew she would co to Banshan Elentary School.
After she arrived at Banshan Elentary School, she didn't see that guy, maybe they had just left or were about to arrive, or maybe they hadn't left at all and were peeking at everything from a corner of this abandoned school.
The explosion at the school gate just now was caused by them.
Thinking of this, Lu Yibei tensed up, feeling that the surrounding environnt suddenly beca cold, and a corrosive chill, like swarms of ants, slowly crawled up from her ankles to the top of her head.
The atmosphere in this ssy classroom beca even more bizarre.
The photos that were still continuously pouring out made Lu Yibei's scalp tingle, and she couldn't help but Spell fiercely, "Damn it, I don't care anymore, I definitely can't stay in this ghost place!"
As she spoke, she shifted her gaze from the photos and prepared to turn and leave.
Suddenly, as if there was a slight ringing in her ears, fragnted noises rushed into her ears.
Lu Yibei subconsciously looked back and saw the photos on the ground trembling slightly, making strange and faint noises intertwined, like sand constantly rubbing, rustling.
Staring at the photos on the ground, Lu Yibei felt that the "rustling" sounds seed to contain so indistinct whispers, with a strange Temptation (temptation), attracting her to approach.
Just as her eyes gradually lost focus and she slowly walked towards the photos, a heart-wrenching scream suddenly echoed in the corridor outside the classroom.
"It's eating, it's eating people, this school is eating people! Who, who will save —!"
Friendly reminder: The Website is about to be revised, which may cause the loss of reading progress. Please save your "book shelf" and "reading record" in ti (it is recomnded to take a screenshot to save). We apologize for any inconvenience caused!
Startled by the scream, Lu Yibei instantly ca back to her senses, looked at the photos close at hand, trembled, and jumped back a distance. She narrowed her eyes slightly and glanced in the direction of the corridor, took a deep breath, and tiptoed out.
The mont she left the classroom, a brand new photo flew out of the commorative album and drifted down to the ground.
The scene captured in the photo was an evening on a pedestrian path near Peony Street. A handso young man wearing headphones was waiting for the traffic light. In the crowded crowd, a sowhat ssy, chestnut-haired, round-faced girl looked at him, so excited that tears welled up in her eyes...
————
On the other side.
The corridor seed to be twisted by so force, with all sorts of inexplicable protrusions growing out of the walls, so resembling geotric protrusions of a building corner, while others took on the shapes of people or animals. Touching them, one could feel a faint warmth and pulse.
That feeling was as if this school had suddenly been given life.
In the corridor, two n and one woman from Berses's subordinate, Alpha-type small team, felt that they were truly having a terrible day.
The three gathered together, fleeing in a panic along the twisted corridor that seed to stretch to infinity like a maze, arguing incessantly.
"I ♦ told you earlier that the explosion at the door ant that the Disaster had discovered us, and we should retreat in ti and report the situation to Adult Berses. Why did you still take the risk? Why?" The woman shrieked with a hint of a sob.
"This is all the Disaster's sche, she knew about it long ago, she deliberately led us here, we've all fallen into the Disaster's trap!"
Watching one teammate being blown to dust by the Alchemy Dirty Bomb and another being swallowed by the wall, their fate unknown, coupled with this indestructible corridor that never seed to end, pushed her emotions to the brink of collapse.
The long-haired man accompanying her said in a deep voice, "Stop talking nonsense! Our action was exposed, and we had to forcefully capture the Disaster. That was the captain's decision. Now the captain is dead, what's the use of yelling at ?!"
"Stop arguing!" the short, stout man accompanying them shouted, "Instead of arguing, why don't you think of a way to get out!"
"It's useless, we can't get out." The woman shook her head and muttered, "Didn't you notice? We've been going in circles, only the surrounding scenery keeps changing. I've already seen the mark I made just now."
"The Disaster definitely wants to trap us here and slowly torture us to death!"
The two n looked in the direction she pointed with her raised hand, and their faces imdiately turned pale.
They saw that on a curved indentation in the wall not far ahead, the luminous mark the woman had left with a Spell had half of it sunk into the wall and disappeared.
But...
She had clearly left the mark on a tree-shaped protrusion just now, why would it...?
Could it be that the surrounding scenery is really constantly changing, and we are really going in circles?
The two n thought, sweat beads appearing on their foreheads at the sa ti, and a heavy sense of despair slowly rose in their hearts.

The mont Lu Yibei walked out of the strange classroom at the end of the second floor, she saw a bizarre scene in the corridor.
The dark corridor seed to have been grabbed at both ends by a pair of invisible hands, twisted a few tis, and then stretched forcefully, becoming unusually distorted.
On the wall not far from the classroom door, there was a body, as if it had been swallowed by the wall, or had grown out of the wall, with half of its body hanging on the wall and its legs dangling down.
Is this the guy who was screaming just now?
Why does he look like... so kind of special plot from a certain type of book? But those kinds of books don't have male protagonists, do they?
No, no, there must be sothing wrong with how I'm seeing this!
Lu Yibei grumbled a couple of sentences, then quietly retreated back into the classroom, waited for a few seconds, and then cautiously walked out again.
Coming back to the corridor, the half-hanging body on the wall had disappeared, and in the darkness, wisps of white mist were swirling, slowly rising.
A faint laugh ca from behind.
Looking back, the corridor that should have reached its end had extended infinitely.
In the swirling mist, the outlines of cities and streets vaguely appeared.
Far, far away, under the warm light, blurred figures were waving at her, beckoning her to co forward and get closer.
In this kind of ghost place, warmth ans danger, and it might be so kind of strange trap. Lu Yibei thought.
At this mont, the light suddenly dimd, and the danger, as if its disguise had been seen through, frankly revealed its claws and fangs.
The twisted walls on both sides, and the distorted human-shaped protrusions with twisted features and deford bodies on the walls, slowly erged as if waking from sleep.
Running, playing, whispering on the walls... doing everything that might be done in daily life, like projections cast by another world.
Then...
The mont Lu Yibei appeared in the corridor, all the human-shaped protrusions froze, struggling and twisting, stretching their necks, and looking at her.
For a mont, the entire corridor, the walls wriggled as if alive, countless arms reached out from the walls as if to break through them, waving back and forth in the center of the corridor, and faces with myriad expressions, as if celebrating sothing.
“......”
Damn it! This is even worse than before!
In that situation just now, if I tried to go through the corridor to leave, I might not be able to co back if I wasn't careful, right?
Lu Yibei grumbled inwardly, then quietly retreated back into the classroom behind her, carefully avoiding the photos that had almost filled the floor, went to the window, and looked outside.
Completely different from the lively and eerie scene in the corridor, the campus scene outside the window was still the sa as before, quiet.
Seeing this, Lu Yibei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If I can't leave through the corridor, it should be okay to just jump out the window, right?
Besides that, are there any other options?
Anyway, I have to leave, but definitely not through the corridor.
Thinking this, she opened the window, and as a cold breeze blew in, she leaped out of the window.
However...
The expected sound of wind and the feeling of falling did not appear.
The mont she jumped out of the window, she felt her body suddenly enter so kind of zero-gravity environnt, instantly becoming light and suspended in mid-air.
Damn it, this is also a trap!
Lu Yibei's heart jumped, and she instantly ca back to her senses, turning her head sharply to look back, only to see a vast expanse of white mist, the teaching building had already disappeared.
In front of her, water droplets mixed with mud and stones, as if attracted by so force, were slowly floating upwards...
