Situ Zhuo thought that hiding in the auditorium could temporarily help him escape the terrible tumor. However, in this world of evil spirits, as a human being, he could not escape those things no matter where he was. The only difference was the way he died.
When Situ Zhuo saw countless black shadows coming out of nowhere from the wall and rushing towards him, he knew it was bad. He couldn't help but curse and rushed forward to open the table and chairs that were blocking the door. If these things could come in out of nowhere, it would be better for him to circle around in an open area.
But those black ghosts stretched out their hands and approached him in waves, forcing him away from the gate in two moves. Situ Zhuo could only step back quickly. He scanned the surroundings and found a side door of a large auditorium. He turned around and ran towards that direction.
After taking a step forward, he stumbled and would have fallen forward if he hadn't grabbed a chair in time.
"Get out! Let me go!" Situ Zhuo stepped hard on Zhao Wenqing's hand with a look of hostility, trying to make him let go.
Zhao Wenqing collapsed on the ground, too frightened to get up. He clutched his pants tightly, his originally cowardly face now showing a desperate ruthlessness. "Take me with you, or I'll take you with me to death!"
Situ Zhuo sneered, reached for the knife he found in the kitchen, and chopped Zhao Wenqing's hand without hesitation.
"ah-"
This scream did not only belong to Zhao Wenqing, but also to Situ Zhuo. He was a ruthless person who had used people around him as scapegoats for several times, but he did not expect that he would be betrayed by Zhao Wenqing, a coward whom he despised.
His knife almost cut off one of Zhao Wenqing's hands. Zhao Wenqing saw that Situ Zhuo didn't want to save him, so he became angry and took action at the same time. He didn't know when he had hidden a knife and stabbed Situ Zhuo's leg.
"Hiss... Ah... Damn it!" Situ Zhuo had a sharp bayonet stuck in one of his legs, and his eyes were full of ferocity. He wanted to kill Zhao Wenqing, but those evil things were getting closer and closer, so he didn't dare to fight with Zhao Wenqing anymore. Besides, these things would definitely not let Zhao Wenqing go, so there was no need for him to do it himself.
Situ Zhuo limped past rows of red chairs and ran towards another door. Zhao Wenqing's screams echoed throughout the auditorium, the echoes were continuous and made people's hair stand on end.
The ghosts were not in a hurry to chase Situ Zhuo. They watched the final struggle of their prey with strong malice. Many shadows gathered around Zhao Wenqing. These shadows that could not touch Xin Yanlai before could touch Zhao Wenqing without any obstacles. After they gathered around, chewing sounds were heard continuously. Flesh was torn, meridians were broken, blood was splashed, and these subtle sounds were amplified and transmitted to Situ Zhuo's ears without missing a single one.
Even though Situ Zhuo was a man of extraordinary character, his scalp was tingling and his body was shivering. He couldn't help but feel terrified. At this moment, he stumbled towards the side door and yelled at the system in his mind, "System, come out! Didn't you say I'm the hero? Am I not the most important person in this world? I can't possibly die, right? Save me!"
If the system in his brain had an expression at this moment, it would probably be gloating.
— "I can't save you."
"Then what use are you!" Situ Zhuo was furious.
—"I am indeed useless. You can't blame me for this. Blame yourself." The system said coldly.
It was created by the inner personality, and because it was born attached to something, it should have been very powerful. Unfortunately, the inner personality is suspicious and overbearing. It is impossible for it to allow the "system" in its brain to have the power to threaten itself. Therefore, the main ability of the system suppressed by the inner personality is to manage countless small worlds for it and store the memories generated by countless reincarnations in those worlds, so that when the inner personality descends into a certain world, it can become the "character" itself as soon as possible.
Although the system and the inner personality are one in life and death, and Situ Zhuo is the last world owned by the inner personality, once Situ Zhuo dies, the inner personality and the system will die together, but the system is not in a hurry now.
The inner personality didn't know what was going on, and it hadn't appeared yet. The system couldn't help but guess that the cunning guy had prepared a backup plan, and all the previous performances were to deceive it and the existence that was secretly guiding all this. It knew very well that if the inner personality had a way to avoid the awakening of the collapsed world, it must be hiding somewhere now. Once Situ Zhuo, the carrier, died, it, as a "system", would immediately return to the original inner personality consciousness.
If the inner personality has a way to live, it won't die. If the inner personality dies, it's good for it to be free.
But it really wanted to see the guy's expression when he came back from the dead and found out that he was about to die again.
Situ Zhuo was not in such a good mood as the system. He was just a person with a superficial personality. No matter how cruel he was, the setting of this world was just a teenage boy. After all, he was an ordinary person. How could he not be anxious and afraid at this time
"I order you to find a way to save me! Let me leave here!" After discovering that the side door could not be opened, Situ Zhuo said viciously to the system in his mind.
—"I am just a useless system, responsible for storing data, retrieving information, and providing monitoring and reminders. Other functions are undeveloped. You should do your best."
Situ Zhuo was maddened by its tone of indifference, and raised the knife in his hand to chop at the lock of the side door. He looked back while chopping at the door lock. Zhao Wenqing temporarily attracted the attention of those black shadows, but a small part of the black shadows had already come over.
"Hurry!" He exerted force and finally broke the door lock, then hurried forward to open the door.
However, after opening the door, he was stunned. In front of him was not an exit to escape, but a tumor squeezed into the door.
"How could it be..." Situ Zhuo took two steps back. The blood on his leg seemed to excite the tumor. A small part of it squirmed and squeezed in, about to stick to him. Situ Zhuo's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he raised his knife and chopped forward. He cut a hole in the tumor, and a trace of dirty dark red blood flowed out of the hole.
Situ Zhuo didn't expect that he could really hurt this monster. He was delighted and raised his knife to chop several times. However, he soon lost his joy. The wound he had chopped open began to produce flesh thorns. Each flesh thorn was connected to a ferocious head. The expressions on those faces were very vivid, just like living people. It was because the heads were exactly the same as those of living people that they were even more terrifying.
"Get away! Don't come over here!"
A dozen fleshy heads surrounded him. Situ Zhuo swung his knife randomly, cutting off two fleshy heads, and the heads fell to the ground with a thud. However, the severed fleshy heads soon grew heads again, and the two heads that fell to the ground also surrounded Situ Zhuo with a smile. Situ Zhuo didn't pay attention and found that one of the heads was greedily sucking blood from the wound on his leg. The feeling of human lips sticking to the wound and sucking blood was both subtle and terrifying.
"Get out of here!" Situ Zhuo kicked the head away and didn't dare to cut off the thorns because that would only create more human-headed monsters.
He fell to the ground, covered in cold sweat. He gritted his teeth and got up, trying to escape, but found that there was nowhere to escape.
Behind him, a large black shadow rushed over like a tide, and many hands appeared on the ground behind him at some point. Those hands grabbed his ankles and clothes. They had not very sharp nails, but Situ Zhuo had seen with his own eyes these hands use their nails to scrape open a boy's stomach and take out his intestines.
Dark shadows also rushed over, and more tumorous heads squeezed in through the door at the same time. At this moment, the entire auditorium was filled with all kinds of ghosts and monsters. Their greedy eyes were fixed on the only living person here, Situ Zhuo, who was covered in blood and looked terrified and unwilling.
The strong smell of blood spread along with Situ Zhuo's screams.
Outside the auditorium, only Xin Yanlai was left standing in a pool of blood, and the ghost with the broken limbs held in his arms. The tumorous monster that was enveloping the auditorium had completely penetrated into the auditorium, and the tiny crying sound that had been produced had also disappeared.
"They are starting to feast." Xin Xiaolu suddenly said, "Run, go to the school gate." At the same time, the pool of blood under Xin Yanlai's feet disappeared.
Xin Yanlai pursed his lips, hugged the remaining limbs in his arms, turned around and ran towards the school gate.
The evil that people produce is very attractive to evil spirits. If Xin Yanlai was not here, she would have devoured Situ Zhuo in the auditorium. But for her now, Xin Xiaolu comes first, and then the evil spirits. She wants Xin Yanlai to leave here safely first.
Xin Yanlai ran very fast, and Xin Xiaolu heard his rapid breathing. She stayed quietly in Xin Yanlai's arms with that terrifying look. Along the way, they also encountered a female ghost in white. Xin Yanlai hesitated and hadn't decided whether to take a detour, when he heard Xin Xiaolu in his arms screaming in a way that was not human, and the female ghost in white immediately retreated.
"Don't take a detour, time is running out, run." When Xin Xiaolu looked like this, her voice sounded a little strange, definitely not pleasant to the ear, and she didn't look pretty either, but Xin Yanlai gently touched her head at this time.
"good."
They came to what should be the school gate, but unfortunately it had become a high wall. Xin Yanlai held Xin Xiaolu and touched the wall. It felt very solid and heavy, and it felt no different from the surrounding walls. He tried to bump into it, but only felt the pain of his body hitting the wall.
Xin Yanlai did not hesitate and quickly found a tree to climb.
"Xiaolu, hug my neck." Xin Yan said.
Xin Xiaolu looked at her current appearance and suddenly felt that her brother was really brave. She was in this state, but he could still let her hug his neck without changing his expression. However, she silently did as he asked and stretched out her hands to hang herself in his arms.
Xin Yanlai glanced down at her, and actually found the scary evil spirit hugging his neck obediently a little cute.
He adjusted his glasses and began to climb the tree clumsily. The rough trunk rubbed his hands and left blood marks. Without saying a word, he gritted his teeth and climbed until he could touch the wall. Then Xin Yanlai tried to climb over the wall.
However, he failed. Outside the wall was a thick gray fog that rolled in and out, and he couldn't even touch the outside.
"What's going on?" Xin Yanlai was unwilling to give up and tried to hook the wall. He failed and fell to the ground.
Xin Xiaolu suddenly said, "Put me down first."
Xin Yanlai let her go, and at that moment, the high wall in front of him turned into the school gate. The small door he came in through was still open, and the thick fog outside turned into a normal night street, but there was no one on the street.
Xin Yanlai turned back to look at Xin Xiaolu in surprise, and Xin Xiaolu said to him, "Go out."
Xin Yanlai nodded and stretched out his hand to her, and Xin Xiaolu moved back.
"If you take me with you, you can't get out. Only you can get out." The blood around Xin Xiaolu began to flow again, and she looked very uneasy. The exit was right in front of her, but she couldn't leave. She suppressed her resentment in this situation so as not to let it surge in front of Xin Yanlai.
Xin Yanlai still held her up with his hands. Just as Xin Xiaolu said, when he touched Xin Xiaolu, the way out in front of him disappeared. He stood there, staring at the location where the door had just appeared, with a complicated look in his eyes, and remained silent.
Of course he didn't want to stay in such a place, but Xin Xiaolu was still there.
He didn't say anything, but his grip on Xin Xiaolu tightened. Suddenly, Xin Yanlai felt a pain in his palm, and the stump in his arms had rolled out.
The door reappeared.
"Go out, brother." This time, Xin Xiaolu was much calmer. Although it was a pile of body parts, Xin Yanlai felt that he saw a familiar Xiaolu standing there.
Xin Yanlai strode forward, hugged Xin Xiaolu tightly again, and then he rushed towards the hard high wall.
"boom."
A bloodstain appeared on the wall. Xin Yanlai wiped the blood off his face and rushed forward again without saying a word.
"I'm going to take you out with me."
As Xin Yanlai spoke, the pile of limbs in his arms suddenly turned into a slender girl. Xin Xiaolu reached out and put her arms around Xin Yanlai's neck, turned around, and let herself hit the wall. At this moment, the resentment she had for many years without knowing the source was soothed by the love given by Xin Yanlai.
For the first time, she had such a strong hope that Xin Yanlai would return to the sunlight.
The two people who were hugging each other did not hit the wall. Their eyes went dark and they fell forward. Before they fell, Xin Xiaolu saw the dazzling sunlight.
The author has something to say: I originally wanted to end the story in this chapter, but now I think I should end this world tomorrow and give the little brother and Xiaolu one more chapter of sweet time.
After all, this is a campus novel, how can it be possible if it hasn't even touched on the college entrance exam? The college entrance exam in a campus novel is like winning the best actor award in an entertainment novel, right
