Chapter 177: Choice

Human bricks were the foundation of Han De Private School. Without the human bricks, the school would collapse. Then again, what was the purpose of existence for a school that turned its school into human bricks and absorbed the students life essence?

The school rules and Situ Ans rules fought but not to their bitter ends. Both parties wanted to consume the other, but they didnt want to destroy the dining table. Gao Ming was different. If he could only feast on human meat, hed flip the sacrificial table. If he started with nothing, what was he afraid of losing?

The blurry student IDs tumbled out of the death portrait. Gao Ming didnt need to do anything. The human bricks had already linked with the familiar presence from the IDs. The tattered IDs carried their memories, best thoughts and former selves.

Many students at this school were forced to murder their former selves before they were willing to be made into human bricks and encased underground. If there were no other choices, they would eventually surrender to fate. However, Gao Ming brought them a different path.

The roots actively created a path for Gao Ming. The human bricks saw their shining selves in the student IDs, like kids following the stars in the night sky. Back then, they had no idea why they were so enraptured. Now, they understood that they were looking at their pure and shimmering selves. Even if the death portrait didnt contain their Student IDs, the human bricks would move out of the way. This was the last kindness they could afford to give.

Most of the students were not bad people. Of course, they were not all good people either. They simply failed to be 100 percent good or 100 percent evil. It was why they werent eliminated by Situ An and the school rules due to their sharp justice or became big ghosts that could ignore the rules.

Found it! Gao Ming hung the first ID on its original order. The hunchbacked males skin started to regain the colour of blood. His dull eyes started to shine with light. He tried to lift his arms, but he failed.

The cracked lips slowly open. The boy who regained his memory started to straighten his chest. He had been a human brick for so long, but Gao Ming wanted him to be a human gain. He was not born to be buried deep underneath the school. He just wanted to help more people and himself. The five fingers were bent. The wrinkled skin pulled. The boy wanted to control his dried and aged body, but even with his full strength, he could only wiggle the roots that grew out of his body. He couldnt cut off the roots and thus couldnt sever his connection to the shadow world.

Gao Ming wanted to help, but he remembered Yan Xizhis warning. If he cut off the roots, these human bricks would perish too.

If the school really collapses, will everything here be swallowed by the shadow world, or will they flow back to the real world and become an out-of-control level 4 anomaly? Liu Yi held onto Yan Shaoyus shoulder. The implication of this incident was far-reaching.

Come help! Help bring the willing students out!

Gao Ming gained the affection of the students. Some of them approached Gao Ming, while the majority went towards Yan Xizhi. Even at that moment, everyone still hoped to stay with Yan Xizhi.

The floor above them slowly cracked. You Liang, who had lost his nightmare and was polluted, was heavily suppressed by the red raincoat. However, You Liangs power was too unique. The more the raincoat injured him, the more wounds appeared on her body.

To Gao Mings surprise, the students of Class 13 used the dangerous cursed items and supernatural objects to forcibly snatch of the boxes away from the investigators.

If they knew how to use the boxes to control the red raincoat, the students probably would have stolen more boxes.

The door to the social practical class flew open. The students infected by Fear Illness wanted to scurry underground to hide from the tragedy. The buildings on the surface had been affected. The foundation of the rules was shattered. Chaos was everywhere. For all parties, the situation had spiralled out of control.

The school rules and Situ Ans rules sent people underneath the lab building. However, the first ghost to arrive wasnt one of their people.

Red paint dripped on the steps. The self-portrait of the art teacher appeared on the wall. She flicked her hair behind her ear but it was Xia Yangs voice that came out of her mouth. What a happy cooperation.
