Chapter 66.3 (2/2)

He rushed down the stairs with Mei on his back, even forgetting the existence of Xiao Tangqiu and others. Xiao Tangqiu hurriedly followed.

Hedgehog-head was either physically very developed or he had exploded with potential in such a desperate situation. Even though he was carrying a girl on his back, he took steps on the ground like he was flying. Xiao Tangqiu, a specially trained person, almost couldn’t keep up.

Along the way, they encountered countless students who were injured. Most of them were injured by falling objects caused by the big earthquake. There were also stampede accidents caused by crowding while escaping. Screams and cries followed one after another. The hedgehog-head carried a girl on his back and rushed all the way down the stairs, dodging violent shaking several times on the way, and finally rushed to the first floor in one breath.

With the light of hope just before her eyes, Mei, who was pale, let out a sigh of relief, “Go to the playground! Now only the open space is safe!”

Her words were reasonable and there was no problem at all, but hedgehog-head’s face changed and he protested loudly, “No! Can’t go to the playground!”

Xiao Tangqiu was taken aback for a moment, “Why?”

Hedgehog-head shook his head frantically, “No! We can’t go to the playground!”

Xiao Tangqiu subconsciously felt something was wrong. Just after their group rushed out of the teaching building, the teaching building was finally overwhelmed by the tremors and collapsed!

“Get down!”

As soon as Duan Hongzhen’s voice fell, Xiao Tangqiu was thrown to the ground by Shen Yuan. The next moment, a loud noise sounded!

After a wave of screams, there was no other sound.

Countless students and teachers who had not had time to escape were buried in the collapsed teaching building.

After the loud noise, Xiao Tangqiu and the others fell into a long silence and Mei began to softly cry.

Hedgehog-head murmured, “Let’s go… Let’s leave here… Let’s go home…”

He picked up Mei again and was about to turn around and leave, but at this moment, a voice suddenly rang, “Yoji… Yoji… Where are you going?”

Hedgehog-head froze and turned around. He saw his companion who had been separated from him earlier lying on the ground covered in blood…

Xiao Tangqiu’s eyes widened. Hedgehog-head’s companion was lying on the ground with blood on his face, crawling in their direction with difficulty, on the verge of death, and said angrily, “Yoji… you are abandoning us… to go where…”

Hedgehog-head muttered to himself in disbelief, “How can this be? How is this possible…”

Hedgehog-head’s companion got closer and closer, and more and more blood flowed out of him, “You’re abandoning us… to go where? Why didn’t you save me… why didn’t you save us…”

Hedgehog-head’s face changed drastically and he gritted his teeth, “I will come back to rescue you! After I save Mei, I will come back to rescue you immediately!”

His companion giggled and blood slowly trickled from his mouth, “You’re lying…”

Hedgehog-head yelled, “I won’t lie to you! I will definitely come back to save you!”

“But…”

His companion continued, “But… we are all already dead…”

That person shed lines of blood and tears as he talked. Soon, his nose, mouth, and ears all ooze with blood. Then, his head deflated like a suddenly leaking balloon, and he died with his seven orifices bleeding.

Hedgehog-head took a few steps back in horror while Duan Hongzhen stepped forward to take a look, “Tsk, completely dead.”

“Dead… he is dead…”

Hedgehog murmured in disbelief, obviously unable to accept the fact that his companion who was still alive not long ago died in front of him.

“Yeah… he’s dead… so he’s dead…” Mei, who was lying on his back also mumbled to herself, “I am dead too, so we are all dead…”

“No! Mei!”

Hedgehog-head turned his head and saw that the girl on his back suddenly tilted her head.

He quickly put the girl down, only to see that the girl was already dead.

“Mei…”

He sat down on the ground in disbelief, “No, no… We clearly almost escaped to safety… I clearly almost rescued you from here…”

At this moment, Kisaragi who had been silent the entire time, said coldly, “She is just a dead soul who was trapped here and did not know that she died. The resentment is not too strong so once she found out that she is dead, she dispelled her resentment by herself and went to her next life. Even if you rescued her, she already died a long time ago.”

Hedgehog-head spoke in disbelief, “How could… she was clearly still alive… she was clearly alive just now…”

Xiao Tangqiu suddenly spoke, “If we hadn’t suddenly trespassed, according to the original path of fate, you did not find her, she was trapped in the office, and then when the school building collapsed in the earthquake… she would die in the collapsed teaching building.

“Mei died a long time ago… Maybe she wasn’t even called Mei… After all, this was just a name I just picked up.

“Perhaps, even you are dead?”
