Chapter 169: Intruder

Chapter 169: Intruder

Gao Yang wasn’t too surprised. Indeed, it was Yellow Butterfly.

She had come up to the rooftop after checking the classrooms. Standing before a three-meter tall water tank, she lit the wall with her flashlight and seemed to be looking at something, engrossed.

“Have you found anything?” Gray Bear greeted her.

Without turning around, Yellow Butterfly stared at the wall and said, “No. We searched the school inside out yesterday.”

“Then what are you looking at?” Gray Bear walked up to her to look at the water tank wall with her. “Oh, this is where people left messages.”

Almost every school had a few comment walls like this one. Students would leave messages with chalks, markers, paints, or other writing instruments where teachers rarely went, but their fellow students frequented.

The wall of the rooftop water tank was obviously a good option.

Under the moonlight, night wind ruffled Yellow Butterfly’s hair. A hint of wistfulness flashed through her large, empty-looking eyes. “It resonated with me when I saw the wall last night. I couldn’t stop myself from checking it again.”

It seemed that without their captain, Nine Frost, around, Yellow Butterfly was quite easygoing. She didn’t seem as distant as she had been when they first met.

Gao Yang, Lithe Snake, and Can joined them before the wall. Witness the debut of this chapter, unveiled through Ñôv€l--B1n.

It was covered in a variety of messages written in different colors, most were typical of highschool students.

The great me was here!

XXX is a pig head.

I’m going to get into a great college!

XXX I love you forever.

XXX let’s break up. We’ll be a pair of strangers who know each other the most.

...

But among them, there was one particular line that stood out.

It seemed to have been written in red paint, and given it covered everyone else’s comments, it must be the newest.

—I’ll wait for you in hell!

“Whoa, you can feel the hate from eons ago!” Can noticed it immediately.

Gray Bear scoffed and didn’t take it seriously.

Lithe Snake looked as impassive as usual.

Curious, Gao Yang turned to Yellow Butterfly. “Is this the one that resonated with you?”

“That’s it?” Lithe Snake didn’t sound convinced.

“There’s something else.” Gao Yang turned to Gray Bear.

“Niu Xuan.” Gray Bear’s eyes glinted. He had caught on.

“That’s right.”

“According to Niu Xuan, he saw memories of his past life, where he was a boy named Li Zhuanghu, studying at the Eleventh High School. He got good grades and was valued by the teachers. They even had him lead the aerobics session for the school.”

“I looked him up,” said Gray Bear. “There’s never been a Li Zhuanghu in Li City.”

“Does he not exist,” Gao Yang paused, “Or has he been erased by the Heavenly Way?”

Gray Bear fell silent.

“Eighteen years ago, there should have been more than a thousand students and dozens of teachers at the Eleventh High School. What happened to them? Where did they go? Are they still alive? Why hasn’t any of them come out to talk about the incident?”

The list of questions rendered everyone speechless.

“Do, do you mean...” Can gulped fearfully, dragging her hand across her neck. “That the Heavenly Way get rid of them all?”

Gao Yang didn’t respond. He had said his piece.

This incident was very similar to the Gu Family’s Village, but different in some way. He felt like he just needed a little more clues to connect all the dots.

Buzz, beep.

The radio crackled alive.

“Come in, come in! Emergency!” It was Xiran.

Gao Yang checked the radio. Xiran was broadcasting to all channels, meaning the fourth team could hear him too.

Gao Yang immediately responded, “Copy. Go ahead.”

“Talk,” Nine Frost commanded haughtily.

“Someone ran into the school! He was too quick for Ronnie and I to get a good look!”

Gao Yang tensed up at once.

“Everyone, come to the running track. I repeat, come to the running track.” Nine Frost gave an order decisively.

“Fucker always orders people around,” Gray Bear grumbled. “Who does he think he is?”

“Come, let’s go to the running track.”

Gao Yang had an ominous feeling.

This time, he wholeheartedly agreed with Nine Frost's decision.

No matter who they were facing, they must not split up like the main characters of a horror film would, lest the enemies pick them off one by one.
