Chapter 56): Die!

Chapter 56): Die!

Lu Yibei found himself back in the room, staring at the oil painting. Her scarlet orbs had a faint gold shimmer, and Sixian couldnt help but stare at the girl before her.

She decided to return to check on Yibei.

Theres something wrong with her. She looks as if shes in limbo.

She recalled somebody in the forums mentioning a limbo state, where peoples minds would be transported into another space while their physical bodies remained.

If the girl before her was able to do this at will, then she may not be as simple as she claims to be.

According to the forums, people like her are called ghost busters.

And among many ghost busters, only a small part can yield psychic spells.

Hence

Shes probably an incredibly powerful ghost buster!

Thats right. She didnt need any equipment, nor did she need any rituals.

She easily killed that painting within seconds. Could other ghost busters do this?

Sixian was delighted with her observations: I cant believe I have the chance to meet someone this powerful. I need to maintain a good relationship with her. I should invest in her!

So, even if I split the bill, I wont lose any money!

An avaricious smile appeared on her face subconsciously. Just as she was immersed in a future filled with money, a muffled sound came from the corridor outside the art room, interrupting her train of thought.

It sounded as if someone had kicked something over. It wasnt loud, but the silent corridor made it extraordinarily clear.

She peered outside the corridor; it was so dark that she couldnt even see anything.

Boom!

Not long after, the strange sound sounded again, and it seemed to get closer.

She instinctively took a few steps back into the classroom: What the hell! Are that Pharoah and the others?

Another muffled sound came from the corridor, and it was eerily close now.

It was like a block of wood hitting the ground, and the muffled sound resounded outside the window of the classroom. Immediately afterwards, she could see two pale, long, and narrow shadows slithering outside the window.

They looked like a pair of legs, but they were definitely not human legs.Ne/w novel chapters are published at novelhall.com

Sixian began to panic a little as she held her breath, refusing to move.

She could feel evil emanating from those shadows.

She shifted her eyes towards Yibei anxiously, hoping that she would deal with it. However, Yibei was still in limbo.

Another muffled sound sounded again, but it gradually drifted away from their location.

Sixian let out a sigh of relief, massaging her numb hands and feet.

Sixian was getting anxious; Yibeis body temperature was getting higher and higher, and she felt like she was trapped inside an oven. Her heart dropped as her consciousness started to blur.

In a daze, she felt the girl in her arms twist her body, followed by the door of the locker being pushed open. Cold air rushed into the locker, instantly relieving her discomfort.

Vaguely, she could hear some talking and, in the next moment, a scream of panic.

It sounded like the muffled cry of someone whose throat had been slashed, and it sent chills down her back.

The strong negative emotions in that cry were like a sledgehammer hitting her head; all she could see was black.

The story of Zhao Kes past ended abruptly in darkness.

Yibei opened her eyes and found that she was locked in a small space, and she couldnt help but panic.

W-what the hell?

She subconsciously stretched her arm out, and the iron door of the locker bounced open with a bang.

After she regained her composure, Yibei noticed that in the centre of the messy classroom, a boy stood there quietly with his back to her, trembling all over.

The boy let out a terrified cry and turned around, saying, Y-you scared me!

Oh, uh, my bad, Yibei apologised as she massaged her head. What are you doing here at night? Its dangerous to be alone out here.

I-I know, but I came here for a trial of guts with my classmates but we saw something, and we got separated. I heard a noise in this room, and I thought it was my friends, but I met you instead, the boy said as his gaze drifted towards the unconscious Du Sixian. She was unconscious, and there were a few scorch marks on her clothes.

Is that so? Im here for a live broadcast, and I encountered some weird things too. Please dont hurt us.

The boy froze for a moment. Nobody would want to harm a young, teenage girl.

How could I hurt you? Im scared too. Why dont we stick together? That way, we can look out for one another.

My companion is still asleep, so

Yibei turned around and crept towards the statue of Acala, the Immovable. Just as she was a step away from the statue, a wave of ruthlessness flashed across her eyes.

Die!

Yibei yelled as she grabbed the statue and hit the boy with it in one swift, clean motion.

Yibeis sudden violent outburst was beyond the boys expectations. His body was hit hard by the statue, and he flew sideways, smashing the easel into pieces.

At that moment, many questions appeared in his mind.

Why did she attack me? It should be me who attacks first, right?

Why is she so strong?

Why are her psychic fluctuations

The boys neck seemed broken, and he crawled backwards helplessly.

In a daze, he saw that pristine face stained with blood, exuding a cold aura that made him shudder. She was like Death himself, approaching little by little.
