Oops!
It’s really bad!

"This is really bad!" Lu Zhao saw that the shadow of the angel with a weird smile behind Chen Xue became much more solid. His heart skipped a beat, and it felt like his heart had fallen into an ice cellar.

The smiling angel's hands slowly opened from the state of covering his face, revealing his creepy smiling face.

Lu Zhao understood instantly that the call just now came from the smiling angel, but... it was too late!
He reacted too late!
No, it wasn't too late, but he shouldn't have reacted at all, damn it! Damn it! !

At the critical moment, why did we forget to “not look back”?
At least we got the light and looked back!

Relaxed!
But maybe... it's not just slackness!
Lu Zhao's body became cold, and he suddenly realized that perhaps it was this pervasive weird feeling that was permeating his will all the time.

The Laughing Angel is coming!
This was the only thought left in Lu Zhao's mind.

"Go! Go to the dormitory!" Lu Zhao growled hysterically.

"Old Lu! Old Lu! What's going on?!" Jin Jiuyao grabbed Lu Zhao's hand and loudly expressed his confusion.

Lu Zhao said nothing, but just led the team forward. When he was stopped by Jin Jiuyao, he turned around and glared at Jin Jiuyao fiercely.

Jin Jiuyao took a quick glance and saw that the wind and rain had blurred Lu Zhao's face, which seemed to have become distorted and terrifying. He let go of Lu Zhao's hand in shock, and then looked at Chen Bing and Chen Xue with fear.

"Did you...did you see it?"

"What did you see?" Chen Xue asked in a low voice.

Jin Jiuyao said in horror: "I saw the shadow of the smiling angel in Lao Lu's eyes..."

"But...shouldn't he be the least likely one?"

"How is it impossible... He flipped through the book you brought back..." Chen Xue looked at Jin Jiuyao, "I didn't see the content, but could the book contain the image of the Laughing Angel?"

【Anyone who inherits the power of an angel will eventually become the phantom of an angel.】

"It's possible..." Jin Jiuyao said in a regretful voice, "It was me who harmed Old Lu..."

"Go! Go quickly!" Lu Zhao's urging voice came from the front, "If you don't leave yet, do you all want to die?"

The three of them looked at each other, and Chen Bing lowered his voice and said, "There is no other way. If Lao Lu shows any abnormal behavior, we will tie him up and take him away!"

"Kidnap him? Just us?" Jin Jiuyao raised an objection.

"What else do you have in mind?" Chen Bing glanced at him.

Jin Jiuyao pursed his lips and said nothing.

At this time, Lu Zhao turned around fiercely: "Hurry up! Go to the next street lamp first and rest!"

His hand slowly reached into his backpack and he started taking something out.

Seeing this, several people suddenly became tense and followed.

Chen Xue looked at Lu Zhao's back, and her neck twitched imperceptibly. She looked at Lu Zhao's back, and suddenly found that the shadow of an angel with a weird smile was also emerging behind Lu Zhao.

"Old Lu...there's really something wrong with him!" Chen Xue murmured.

In a place that even Chen Xue didn't notice, the five fingers of her left hand were twitching uncontrollably, as if each finger had its own thoughts, but none of them were her own.

At this moment, a series of chants suddenly permeated the rain curtain. At first, it was just as soft and ethereal as a distant song coming from the other side of the sea, but before they took a few steps, the sound became lower and lower, and soon it became like Mongolian throat singing.

Amid the chanting, the sound of broken commandments echoed endlessly, as if thousands of demonic snakes were circling the group of four.

The sound of wind, rain, the rustling sound of the tombstones of the dead and the nocturnal creatures moving forward, the strange and deep chanting...

Countless voices entangled together, as if an evil monk was stroking their heads while chanting ancient songs. The soul-shaking voice made their bodies cold and tremble uncontrollably...

Jin Jiuyao was horrified to find that among the four people, except for him, the pace of the other three people was getting slower and slower... and soon they almost stopped.

The fog around them began to become thicker and thicker, and the dark white airflow almost turned into substance, sticking out from the darkness like countless tentacles, and whipping their bodies fiercely with the rough wind and rain, leaving marks like ghost scratches on their bodies.

“Rustle… rustle…”

One after another, figures slowly approached them through the mist. In the mist, fanatical faces with strange smiles could be vaguely seen.

He felt the terror, and fear continued to spread in his heart. However, Lu Zhao, who was sensing the environment with him, did not react at all. He just kept repeating "Go! Go! Go..." It seemed that the only thing left in Lu Zhao's eyes was the lamppost in front of him. But... he kept marking time!

Jin Jiuyao didn’t know if he was crazy. Why did Lu Zhao and the others behave completely differently from him?
It's impossible that he is the only one awake in the world, so the rest... is actually unconscious?
That kind of strange state where one is clearly aware that one's will is unclear?
Jin Jiuyao began to doubt himself, but at this moment, he was suddenly shaken again.

"Since I know I am awake, then there will be no problem with me. Something must have happened to Lao Lu and the others!"

"It's my turn to wake them up next!"

"I'm Jin Jiuyao! I'm Jin Jiuyao, I'm Jin Jiuyao... My student number is X0230510006, I'm on the cobblestone road on campus... There's a lamppost in front of me..."

"My name is Jin Jiuyao, my student number is X0230510006, I'm on the cobblestone road on campus, there's a street lamp in front of me..."

He kept shouting, using the identity anchor to anchor himself, but gradually, he heard more and more voices, and those voices shouted along with him.

[My name is Jin Jiuyao, my student number is X0230510006, I am walking on the cobblestone road on campus, there is a street lamp in front of me...]

[My name is Jin Jiuyao, my student number is X0230510006, and I am walking on the cobblestone road on campus...]

[I am Jin Jiuyao...hahahaha...I am Jin Jiuyao...]

Hearing these weird laughters one after another, Jin Jiuyao's eyes suddenly showed fear: "Oh no... Oh no! They are disturbing me! Damn it, damn it... I am Jin Jiuyao, I am Jin Jiuyao!"

[I am Jin Jiuyao... I am Jin Jiuyao... I am Jin Jiuyao...]

Strange faces were floating in the mist. Each of these faces was eerie and terrifying, but each of them had some similarities to Jin Jiuyao's face...

Suddenly, Jin Jiuyao discovered that the human-shaped tombstones in the Forest of the Dead began to break through the fog, and then surrounded them before they reached "Lamp Pole-023".

[My name is Jin Jiuyao, and my student ID is...]

They chanted continuously, with the syllables constantly changing, as if they wanted to sing the sentence into something more beautiful.

Seeing that Lu Zhao and the others had no reaction at all, Jin Jiuyao screamed in fear: "Old Lu! Old Lu! Chen Bing and Chen Xue, you two, wake up the fucking time! Wake up!"

When calling out to no avail, he gritted his teeth, rushed forward desperately, and knocked Lu Zhao down from behind.

"Bang!" Lu Zhao was knocked down unexpectedly, staggering and falling on the cobblestone road, splashing mud and water all over the ground, and his glasses were knocked away.

He woke up suddenly, and without bothering to look for his glasses, he kicked Jin Jiuyao away reflexively, and then finally pulled out the arm that had been stuffed in the mountaineering bag.

In his hand, he was holding a pitch-black fire axe - this was the fire axe in the mountaineering bag!

The fire axe looked very strange. The axe handle was full of technological style, but the axe blade was very old and looked like a piece of rock.

On the axe blade, there were secret patterns carved that were between cuneiform and strange runes. Those secret patterns did not seem to be carved by technological means at all. It was more like the person who made the axe directly chiseled the stone carving with the secret patterns, then polished it into the shape of the axe blade, and then assembled it into this fire axe.

When the fire axe was grasped, the secret pattern on the axe face immediately began to flow with light blue light, and Lu Zhao's will also became much clearer.

However, when he regained consciousness, the first thing he did was to swing the fire axe at Jin Jiuyao: "Laughing Angel! Die!"

"Fuck!" Jin Jiuyao was startled. Although he dodged in time, Lu Zhao still cut his arm. Blood immediately gushed out and dripped into the rainy night.

"Old Lu! You're crazy! Wake up!" Jin Jiuyao screamed in fear and hurried to shake Chen Bing and Chen Xue, "Old Lu is crazy! Old Lu is crazy!!"

Chen Bing and Chen Xue were indifferent. They tilted their heads and slowly looked at him, with a weird smile on their lips: [It’s Jin Jiuyao… My student number is X0230510006. I’m on the cobblestone road on campus… There’s a street lamp in front of me…]

[I am Jin Jiuyao...]

“No…no no no…no!” Jin Jiuyao was terrified and fell backwards to the ground.

Lu Zhao held the fire axe tightly with both hands and chopped it down fiercely at his head...

"puff--"

Jin Jiuyao's blood splashed out, blending into the rainy night, flowing out like a stream.

He fell to the ground, his pupils slowly dilated...

As he was dying, he vaguely saw a fake classmate squatting towards him...

But gradually, the blurry face of the classmate became clearer in front of his eyes, and it turned out to be...

"Chen... Chen... No... You, you are not Chen Xue, you are not..." Jin Jiuyao closed his eyes heavily...

……

May 023, X5, 10:20, teaching building area, outside the lighting area of ​​the "Teaching Building-26" street lamp pole, a stormy night.

Lu Zhao held Jin Jiuyao down tightly, but unlike Jin Jiuyao himself, he did not have any injuries on his body at this moment.

Looking at Jin Jiuyao who had lost consciousness, Lu Zhao supported his knees somewhat exhaustedly, resisting the urge to fall to the ground, and continued to observe the situation around him.

Helping him to contain Jin Jiuyao were Chen Bing and Chen Xue...

Next to them, there was a fake classmate who was nailed to the ground by a fire axe.

The secret pattern on the face of the fire axe flickered, and the light blue light flowed down like magma, corroding the body of the pseudo-human classmate, corroding it bit by bit into a shriveled sculpture.

Its mouth was still moving, and it was still mumbling faintly, "I am Jin Jiuyao, my student number is..."

And around them, the Forest of Dead Steles had indeed emerged from the fog and were slowly closing together like two rows of human walls.

While gasping for breath, Lu Zhao walked to the fire axe, grasped the handle of the fire axe, stepped on the petrified chest of the pseudo-human classmate, and pulled it out.

"Let's go! Let's go under the lights first!" Lu Zhao shook his head, a few traces of madness flashed in his eyes, but he suppressed it immediately. He muttered softly, "We must go back to the dormitory... we must..."

"But now... we must go under the streetlight first..."

"must……"

"Hu, hu, hu..."

……

A few minutes later, the three people broke through the distance of a lamppost from "Teaching Building-024" and arrived at the lighting range of the lamppost of "Teaching Building-023". They finally leaned under the light exhausted.

Lu Zhao held a fire axe in his hand, and stood back to back with sisters Chen Bing and Chen Xue, clinging tightly to the lamppost. At their feet, Jin Jiuyao was still unconscious.

"Old Lu...it looks like we're going to die here..." Chen Xue said with difficulty.

"Death is not scary... Huh, Huh..." Lu Zhao gritted his teeth, "What's scary is that I'm not ready for death... I still have a lot of things to do... So, I can't just die like this..."

"Huh, huh..."

Lu Zhao panted as he spoke, "The physical attack power of the Forest of Dead Steles is very weak. Just like what I did just now, I can smash them with the Secret Pattern Axe... Your domain can also effectively stop them..."

"But...we can't leave..."

"The hope of survival is slim, but not zero..."

"The three of us, with the lights behind us, should be able to hold on until dawn, provided we are not affected by them..."

"Of course, there is another prerequisite, that is, the Laughing Angel does not appear..."

"Huh, huh..."

"In other words...if we keep doing this, we can survive...we don't even need to go back to the dormitory..."

“Isn’t it quite optimistic when you think about it this way?”

Lu Zhao laughed at himself.

Needless to say, the sisters Chen Bing and Chen Xue also knew that Lu Zhao had marked out their only way to survive.

But the Forest of Dead Steles would not let them go. They slowly approached them while singing strange songs, shaking their heads and looking like patches of seaweed in the wind and rain.

But for some reason, Jin Jiuyao, who had been unconscious, suddenly started to twitch. Before he woke up, he kept muttering some incomprehensible words...

【lyset……】

【…lyset…】
