A+ A- Turn Off Light

  The one who shouted out that sentence wasn’t someone else, it was the woman with the school building administrator’s hangtag that Lin Qiye had just seen.

  She stood panting at the edge of the stairs on the sixth floor, her convenience bag scraped somewhere and broke open into a large opening, and several boxes of chalk fell to the ground in bits and pieces, rolling down the stairs making a soft clattering sound.

  The light golden flames in Lin Qiye’s eyes gradually faded, he frowned at the woman and was about to ask something when the latter clenched her teeth, turned around and ran wildly downstairs!

  She was related to those ghosts just now?

  This thought flashed through Lin Qiye’s mind, so naturally, he wouldn’t let this suspicious woman go, and his figure disappeared into a darkness.

  The woman flew along the stairs and ran wildly, just as she rushed to the third floor, the darkness at the edge of the stairs tumbled out like ocean waves, her pupils contracted slightly, and before she had time to scream, she was instantly engulfed without a trace.

  The entire school building once again fell into a dead silence.

  Until this moment, Lu Menglei, who was hiding beside Cao Yuan with a pale face, finally slowly opened her eyes, but at this moment, the classroom was empty, and the original flashing lights seemed like an illusion that never existed.

  ”Cao Yuan school brother …… What just happened?”

  ”Nothing much happened, the spots of light we just saw outside the door should be the glass reflecting the shadows outside, there was nothing inside after opening the door.” Cao Yuan naturally couldn’t tell her the bizarre passage just now, and casually found a reason to say.

  ”Reflected shadow?” Lu Menglei carefully recalled, “But …… I just seemed to feel that the front lit up a bit, and there was a woman’s voice?”

  ”A car drove over that road from the opposite side, of course it would be bright, and the voice came in from outside.” Cao Yuan held her hand and whispered softly, “Where in this world are there so many bulls, ghosts, and gods, just like what we just saw, they are all scaring themselves.”

  ”But the reflection …… on the glass just now really looks like someone is reading a book inside.” Lu Menglei slowed down for a while before accepting the facts in front of her and couldn’t help but open her mouth.

  Cao Yuan walked into the classroom and rummaged around for a while, quickly finding a bag from under one of the desks:

  ”It’s this one, right?”

  ”Yes, it’s this one!”

  ”It’s good that we found it, let’s go.”

  Lu Menglei looked around with some trepidation and left the school building right behind Cao Yuan, and it was only when she was back outside that she breathed a long sigh of relief.

  Immediately after, as if she realized something, she quickly pulled her hand away from Cao Yuan’s hand, looking somewhat embarrassed.

  ”Cao Yuan school brother …… just now I was too nervous, so ……”

  ”That’s okay.” Cao Yuan smiled in a gentlemanly manner, even though this expression was quite incongruous on his face, it was extremely secure in the eyes of Lu Menglei at this moment, “Let’s go, I’ll send you back.”

  Naturally, Lu Menglei would not refuse, and the two of them gradually disappeared at the end of the road along the dim streetlights.

  The darkness slowly faded away at the back of the school building, the woman looked like a drowning person who had managed to climb onto the shore, half-kneeling at the same spot and greedily breathing in the air.

  Under the hazy moonlight, a man’s figure was outlined from the darkness, and Lin Qiye carefully sized up the young woman, his gaze lingering on her work license for a moment:

  ”Jiang Zhihua …… is that your name?”

  The woman slowed down and gazed at Lin Qiye, her eyes filled with caution, “Who are you? What do you want to do by mixing into our school?!”

  ”I’m a student here.”

  ”You’re lying.” Jiang Zhihua stared at him and said in a cold voice, “What student could have such horrible eyes and somehow manage to kidnap me here?

  Which department are you from? The Department of Nature? Or is it the Superpower Department?”

  ”No, the Philosophy Department.”

  ”……”

  The moment Lin Qiye pulled out his student ID, Jiang Zhihua visibly froze.

  ”Are you …… really a student of Shangjing University?” Jiang Zhihua frowned, “I thought that you were a member of the [Believers] just like those people ……”

  Hearing the word [Believers], Lin Qiye’s eyes narrowed.

  ”If Ember Night ends up coming?”

  ”If what?”

  ”…… Nothing.”

  Someone who isn’t a Nightwatchman …… knows about [Believer]?

  ”She is indeed the complex administrator of Shangjing University, I checked her information in the internal system.” Jiang Er’s voice echoed in Lin Qiye’s Bluetooth headset, and at the back door of the school building, An Qingyu was walking towards here in a wheelchair.

  ”Jiang Zhihua, 26 years old, used to attend Shangjing University as an undergraduate, then went through the withdrawal process, but somehow, she came back to serve as the administrator of the complex for four or five years.”

  In modern society, almost no one could escape Jiang Er’s search, but in a few seconds, Jiang Zhihua’s file was stripped bare by her.

  After listening to Jiang Er’s introduction, Lin Qiye asked in a deep voice, “Where did you hear the name [Believer] from?”

  ”Five years ago, a group of people came to me and asked me to join them …… They called themselves [Believers], but I didn’t agree, so they kept chasing me, and it took me most of a month to get rid of them.” Jiang Zhihua hesitated for a moment, but still said truthfully.

  ”Letting you join them? You also have a Forbidden Ruin?”

  ”Forbidden Market?” Jiang Zhihua didn’t seem to understand the name, “You mean, superpowers like yours?”

  ”Right.”

  ”I have …… but it’s not even close to yours.” Jiang Zhihua shook her head, “I can communicate with things and simply control their actions.”

  ”Things?”

  ”Like …… remnants of souls.”

  An Qingyu blinked and spoke tentatively, “You can detain souls?”

  ”Pretty much ……”

  By this point, Lin Qiye had basically guessed what happened, this Jiang Zhihua should be a Forbidden Ruin possessor that hadn’t been discovered by the Vigilantes, and had been roped in five years ago when the [Believers] were still in existence, but she hadn’t joined, and had been surviving in society as an ordinary person.

  Lin Qiye spoke thoughtfully, “So, that 609 classroom, and the campus legend that used to be there, were all made by you?”

  ”…… is sort of related to me.” Jiang Zhihua anxiously looked around, “This is not the time to talk about this, do you know, how big of a mess you just made? It was so hard for me to get them to move within the classroom’s boundary, but as a result of your glare, you directly broke my boundary ……

  Now that those kids have escaped into the school, I don’t know how much time it’ll take to get them back …… In case they cause any trouble, Shangjing University will be in complete chaos.”

  Lin Qiye and An Qingyu glanced at each other, and the former took the initiative to open his mouth to calm down:

  ”Don’t be anxious, we’ll chase back those escaped remnant souls, you tell me first, what’s going on here?”
