Chapter 490 Angel Sculpture Corpse
Chapter 490 Angel Sculpture Corpse
But there was someone else who couldn't hold it back. Looking at this endless fake person, Lu Zhao finally frowned.
"Why are there so many people coming in?" he muttered.
Chen Xue shrugged, her tone somewhat helpless: "Old Lu, if you hadn't suppressed me just now, at most two of these fake people would have come in."
Lu Zhao pursed his lips and held his forehead with his hand, feeling a headache: "Go and close the door. As for those fake people, we will clean them up later..."
Hearing the words "go close the door", Chen Xue stood up from where she was, quickly walked to the door, and then ignored those fake people and closed the door directly from behind.
The pseudo-humans outside the door seemed to be very strong. Even before closing the door, those hands reached into the crack of the door like tentacles.
Chen Xue frowned, and a brute force that was totally inconsistent with her size suddenly burst out from her frail body, and then she pushed the classroom door shut abruptly.
“Kakakaka…”
The door leaf was like a gate knife, directly cutting off the hands of those pseudo-people who stretched their hands in from the cracks in the door and were unwilling to retract them.
More than twenty arms were cut off at the root and fell to the ground. Some of them rolled in front of the trainee who opened the door, scaring him so much that he turned pale and trembled all over.
Chen Xue originally said nothing, but seeing this, she looked at the trainee with dissatisfaction and said in a cold tone: "Do whatever you want. A stranger is talking to you, why do you reply randomly if you don't understand?"
"I..." The trainee's mind was already in a mess, and he was shocked by the scenes in front of him. He could only stammer and couldn't say anything, "I... I don't know..."
Chen Xue didn't say much, just glanced at him coldly, and then walked away without saying a word.
Her patience with this kind of person was limited. If he said one more word, she was afraid that she would not be able to restrain herself and would kill him before the fake person.
However, the fake people around who entered the classroom didn't care about Chen Xue's behavior at all. After entering the classroom, they moved along the steps of the classroom on their own, and then sat down according to some unknown rules.
After they took their seats, they were stuck in the seats like skinny ribs. Looking from the podium, it looked like human-shaped tombstones were inserted there.
At the same time, Jin Jiuyao, who was lying on the ground looking at the ceiling, suddenly came to his senses and took a deep breath.
"what--"
He sat up in shock from his dying illness, his eyes filled with disbelief, and then he began to gasp for breath like a person who had been deprived of oxygen for a long time.
“Hu…Hu…Hu…I…I just…”
"What happened to you just now?" Lu Zhao stroked his back and gently comforted him, "Speak slowly, don't be impatient."
"There is something hidden over there on the bookshelf. That look... is as cold as a statue of a god in the kingdom sequence..." Jin Jiuyao touched his arm, his body still trembling a little, as if he had just been pulled out of icy water.
"Bookshelf area..." Lu Zhao frowned, as if he had thought of something, and then looked at Lin Yi who had returned to his seat, "Could it be..."
“No…it’s not them.” Jin Jiuyao still had a look of shock on his face. “At first I thought it was them, but…huh, huh…then I didn’t think it was them…”
Jin Jiuyao recalled the scene just now. At first, he seemed to meet Lin Yi's eyes, but then he was in a trance for a moment. He seemed to see... seemed to see...
"That... it's still there... it's it, it's it!!" Jin Jiuyao finally found something in the bookshelf area. His fingers were shaking so much that he didn't dare to continue pointing.
Lu Zhao looked at it in real time, and the next moment, his face turned pale.
"Heaven...angel sculpture?!"
In the gap of the frame on the bookshelf side, there is an angel sculpture's head, and through the gaps between the books on the bookshelf, the angel sculpture's folded wings can be vaguely seen.
"Xiaobing Xiaoxue!" Lu Zhao said in a low voice.
“Swish! Swish—”
Before he could say anything, the twin sisters had already sprinted up the stairs side by side. On the way, their palms touched each other and a barely perceptible thread like lotus root silk was pulled out.
The filaments were as thin as nothing, but they gave off a sharp aura, as if they could even cut through space.
However, when they arrived at the bookshelf area in full preparation, they were stunned and turned back decisively.
Seeing the two sisters coming back, Lu Zhao frowned: "What happened?"
Chen Bing first glanced at Jin Jiuyao, then at Chen Xue.
Chen Xue understood what he meant and immediately asked on behalf of Chen Bing: "Old Jin, did you see it wrong?"
"Tell me what happened first." Lu Zhao interrupted.
Chen Xue hesitated and said, "That sculpture is an 'angel sculpture', but it has become a 'dead sculpture' and no longer has any effect..."
Lu Zhao heard this, his eyes were full of confusion: "How could it be a "dead body sculpture"..."
Jin Jiuyao also said: "How could it be a "dead body sculpture"? That look... seems to be able to penetrate my soul... How could it be a "dead body sculpture"? Should I go ask them?"
Jin Jiuyao finished his speech and looked at Lin Yi and the others.
Chen Xue also looked over: "I've long felt that there was something wrong with the two of them... Especially the one who was looking at the emperor's uncle. The way he looked at me made me want to give him a blow."
Lu Zhao's brows were still furrowed: "He..."
Lu Zhao began to ponder...the two people over there looked ordinary. If they had really been with the "Angel Statue" just now, how could they have survived?
But out of rigor, he still looked at Jin Jiuyao: "Go and ask. No, you will scare them if you go like this. Xiaoxue, go and ask."
Chen Xue stood up decisively.
"Be careful..." Lu Zhao quickly reminded, "It's their freedom to read whatever books they want. Don't get anyone killed. Remember, we still have a mission."
"Got it!" Chen Xue said coldly.
Lu Zhao looked at Lin Yi and Wei Liang, then said thoughtfully: "Xiao Jin, you take a rest first, Xiao Bing, you take care of him."
Chen Bing nodded.
"I'm fine, you go ahead..." Jin Jiuyao naturally knew what Lu Zhao was going to do.
Lu Zhao didn't waste any more words, picked up his backpack, and walked towards the bookshelf area.
He would not feel at ease unless he went to see the dead body of the angel sculpture in person.
After a while, he returned to his seat with a gloomy face. Chen Xue had also returned from Lin Yi's place and was waiting for him there.
"How's your question going?" Lu Zhao asked with concern. Chen Xue had a dark face since she came back. It was the first time he saw Chen Xue's face so ugly, even darker than his current face.
Chen Xue pursed her lips: "He asked me how old I was...if I had a boyfriend...and other things..."
Jin Jiuyao: “…”
Chen Bing: “…”
Lu Zhao: "..."
"Ahem..." Lu Zhao coughed dryly and paused, "Although it is indeed a bit presumptuous to ask a girl's age..."
Chen Xue gritted her teeth: "He asked about my measurements..."
"I%*&! Damn it, I've tolerated him for so long!" Jin Jiuyao spat out a telegram and slapped the ground, his figure moving like a sharp blade out of its sheath.
Then he was pushed back by Lu Zhao.
"Please be patient..." Lu Zhao continued, "Why were you interrogated after you went there? Didn't you get any information out of them beforehand?"
Chen Xue took a deep breath and said, "I asked them, but they knew nothing about it... My perception tells me that they are not lying."
Lu Zhao thought for a moment, then his brows relaxed, as if he had figured something out: "That's right!"
He explained: "Only by knowing nothing can one avoid the gaze of the angel statue..."
"According to the data, the angel sculpture needs to establish a connection with its prey before it can start hunting."
"But how could they not react at all?" Jin Jiuyao didn't understand. "Are there really people so slow?"
"Let me correct you. He is a bit thick-skinned." Chen Xue said, "That person only has flesh in his eyes, but in this era, there won't be such...pure gangsters."
"Unless he overwrote his own cognition." Lu Zhao said, "Do you know their names? After we go back, we'll ask someone to look up their information. If they are special enough, maybe we can find a way to recruit them. It just so happens that we have two girls, and they... are two perverts."
Chen Bing glanced at Lu Zhao coldly, but said nothing.
Chen Xue snorted, then nodded: "The two of them, one is called 'Xiao Zi', and the other is called 'William'."
She gritted her teeth and said, "That pervert is William."
"'William', doesn't sound like a Chinese name?" Lu Zhao frowned.
Jin Jiuyao said angrily: "There have always been dogs who worship foreign things and fawn on foreigners. I really want to kill him!"
He bounced up again, and then was pressed down by Lu Zhao again.
"You are so impulsive and reckless that you are really not suitable for being an 'investigator'. You will get killed at the critical moment if you are so reckless." Lu Zhao glanced at him, then looked at Chen Bing and Chen Xue, and shook his head slightly. "Most likely they are aliases, but it doesn't matter. Once we get the information, we will know what's going on with them."
"These two people are so normal here that they are abnormal. There must be something seriously wrong with them. But for now, we must focus on the mission. As long as they don't affect our mission, we should ignore them."
Lu Zhao's attitude towards Lin Yi is almost the same as Lin Yi's original attitude towards Shan Nan.
On campus, everyone works based on the principle of doing less is worse than more and trying to avoid trouble if possible.
"I understand." Jin Jiuyao and others nodded.
Chen Xue looked at "William" again, and the muscles in her cheeks twitched.
Wei Liang over there seemed to have discovered something, then looked over, frowned, and almost whistled.
"Shameless guy!" Chen Xue's face was as cold as ice.
"What about Xiao Zi? Is there any problem?" Lu Zhao asked.
Chen Xue's face was solemn: "He has the biggest problem!"
"When he just entered the classroom, I had 'aimed' at him, but in my field of vision, he was surrounded by a very thick fog... the kind of fog that was like being shrouded by abnormal weather."
"But when I looked at him carefully again, that hazy feeling disappeared..."
"What do you mean? If you don't look carefully, it looks very wrong, but if you look carefully, there is no problem?" Lu Zhao asked puzzledly.
Jin Jiuyao hesitated and said, "From a perceptual point of view, it's called 'reverse traction'. To put it bluntly, it means that something is wrong or uncomfortable... When you know he is over there, the less you care, the more you care, and then you feel uncomfortable all over."
"'Reverse traction'?" Lu Zhao frowned, "Why does it look so familiar?"
Jin Jiuyao pursed his lips and said with a strange expression: "Of course it's strange, because this kind of 'reverse traction' mechanism usually exists on angel sculptures... Angel sculptures use it to induce prey to perceive it and establish a connection with it."
"How can a human have this kind of 'passive skill' that can trick us into sensing him and then make us feel something is wrong? He is clearly a living person!"
Lu Zhao frowned, "I don't know, but don't worry about it... Let's hand these two people over to the organization for investigation. Don't abandon the focus of the mission because of some unknown factors."
"Especially you, Xiao Jin." He glanced at Jin Jiuyao, "What you did just now was very dangerous. Next time you need to 'reconnaissance', at least make sure Xiao Bing and Xiao Xue have established their territory, and don't observe without permission."
Jin Jiuyao scratched his ears impatiently, then agreed helplessly: "I know, I know. Task one is to confirm Yuan Lijian's progress in executing his tasks. Task two is to identify and excavate..."
"Okay, I'm not asking you to recite the mission content. Just remember the mission in your heart." Lu Zhao interrupted him, and then interrupted the topic related to Lin Yi and the others, and then said, "The dead body of the angel sculpture over there... I just went over to observe it."
Jin Jiuyao suddenly became alert and asked hurriedly, "What's going on over there?"
Lu Zhao's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "How should I put it? Based on the results, I can only get one situation."
"The angel sculpture failed to descend for some reason. As you know, the descent of the Sly Angel is an interference phenomenon, and layer-crossing and transitioning is not a stable crossing behavior. They can cross only because they are 'good at' this. But if they encounter layer-level fluctuations, they can easily get stuck in the cracks of the layers and die, just like..."
"It's like getting stuck and dying in the wall halfway through..." Jin Jiuyao muttered, but was immediately glared at by Chen Xue, so he quickly shut his mouth.
Lu Zhao said: "Yes, one possibility is that when the angels descended, they were swallowed by the cracks in the layers, causing their souls to not descend, and the bodies that had already interfered with them became sculptures in reality..."
"But the possibility of this happening is very high, just like a person choking to death while drinking water, it only exists in theory."
