Everyone's expressions were blank for a moment.
They all knew that Deng Shushu was dead.
Ji Zhenxing looked a little confused and said, "It must be fake, right? She is a ghost, how could she not escape..."
Having said that, it actually reminded the people around me.
They were hesitant and in a state of confusion because of the hoarse and frightened cry for help, but Ji Zhenxing's words suddenly calmed them down as if a basin of ice water had been poured on them.
Ghosts are very good at using magic to deceive people. Now that they have reached the door, Deng Shushu can only use this method to trick them back.
Just like the spirits pretending to be humans and asking for help in the forest, and the ghosts imitating the crying of babies in the middle of the night, they all use the kindness in human nature to lure people into the trap. If Xiaoyun hadn't discovered that Deng Shushu was dead, perhaps they would have turned back now
After figuring out the connection, they pretended not to hear the increasingly faint cries for help and suddenly stepped out of Fengdu Tower. When they came into contact with the night outside, the moon was dim and the stars were sparse. The scorching temperature around them dropped instantly, and the threat of the flames no longer existed, as if they were separated from the interior of Fengdu Tower into two different worlds.
The heavy burden in my heart dissipated in an instant, and I felt clear-headed and alert. In my joy, I turned around and signaled my companions to come out quickly.
"Yuan Yuxue?"
Fang Siwen had already stepped halfway out, and turned to look at Yuan Yuxue who was standing still. He gently pulled him, as if he could see Yuan Yuxue's hesitation, "Hey, don't be fooled. Deng Shushu is a ghost, and ghosts' words cannot be trusted!"
Those struggles and pleas were just baits she hung on the hook. No ghost would show weakness to humans.
If so, it must have bad intentions.
Yuan Yuxue's eyelashes drooped slightly, and her expression was calm. She looked very calm, not like she was confused. But now Yuan Yuxue was actually a little confused.
Given that his detection mechanism was disrupted in Fengdu Tower, he was indeed unable to confirm Deng Shushu's identity, which was why he stopped at this time.
He is a defective product, that's why he hesitates.
He felt Fang Siwen pulling him gently, and the unobservable flames around him were getting closer and closer. Yuan Yuxue turned slightly and looked at the end of the corridor. Countless classroom doors and windows were open, and the curtains could be seen fluttering slightly from the glass windows.
Only in the classroom on the far left, where the front and back doors were closed, the sobbing sounds coming from inside were almost inaudible.
The weak cry for help was finally drowned out by the silence. Fang Siwen breathed a sigh of relief and said to Yuan Yuxue, "It's silent now. It looks like it has given up. Yuan Yuxue, let's go quickly—"
Fang Siwen had already stepped out of the teaching building, but he felt his hands were empty. He turned back in shock: "Yuan Yuxue!"
Others also noticed this abnormality, but they only had time to see the young man's tall and thin back, casting a thin shadow.
Yuan Yuxue turned back and left into the corridor. Fang Siwen turned around and chased after her without thinking, but he seemed to have hit a layer of transparent film, and his eyes were slightly dizzy. He saw him rushing out of the teaching building again.
Fang Siwen frowned, not believing in evil, and continued to rush in. But he saw that the others were also like headless flies, they were clearly going to go in, but in a blink of an eye they turned out from the inside. After trying this back and forth several times, even the dumbest people knew that anyone who walked out of the teaching building would not be able to go back in at least before dawn. They could only watch Yuan Yuxue rush into the invisible sea of fire, and their teeth subconsciously clenched.
