“Why did you say those words?” Lu Yang demanded, “Don’t you know what the legend says?”
Jian Zhi asked in confusion, “If I don’t say it, how would we disprove the legend? We agreed from the start that I would say these words . ”
“When did we decide something like that?” someone asked, puzzled .
“Huh? Didn’t we say I would handle this legend?” Jian Zhi looked like he was confused, too .
“No way…”
Lu Yang was practically about to explode . At first, he had thought the club to be somewhat proper, given that they had prayed and made offerings before setting off, so nothing serious should happen . Yet they had actually deliberately a.s.signed someone to test the legend out?
“Don’t continue any further!” Lu Yang snapped, “If I knew the club activity would be so absurd, we wouldn’t have partic.i.p.ated at all . Lin Zhixiang, I’m leaving with Jiang Ziya . Are you coming with us?”
He purposely called out to Lin Zhixiang . If enough people left, the remaining ones wouldn’t want to continue further . They already looked to be very tense . If half of the people left at once, the club activity would be disrupted .
“Okay . ” Lin Zhixiang also felt that something was off . She hadn’t heard that someone would be a.s.signed to test the legend out . She could not help but glance suspiciously at the president .
Xu Xikai quickly explained, “I didn’t! If you don’t believe me, you can ask Jian Zhi . I didn’t tell him to do it!”
The group looked at Jian Zhi one after another . The latter nervously said, “It was a message sent to the group . Weren’t we supposed to check the one we wanted to test? I saw that the anatomical model was the only one left, so it was the only choice I had . ”
“There wasn’t a message like that!” Xu Xikai spluttered, “If you don’t believe me, go look at the sender of the message . It definitely wasn’t me!”
The group looked at each other, their expressions weird .
Lu Yang pulled on Jiang Ziya and said, “Come, whether or not the others leave have nothing to do with us anymore . ”
Jiang Ziya was still taking measure of the anatomical model . As he turned to look at the rest of them, he abruptly felt that something was wrong .
Lu Yang saw that his expression was odd and immediately pretended to look at the group in anger, allowing Jiang Ziya more time to look .
Jiang Ziya surveyed the group . Wrong, wrong, everything is wrong!
Jian Zhi couldn’t help but draw a cross over his chest . With a pained face, he prayed, “G.o.d…”
Jiang Ziya finally realized what was the most wrong .
Where’s the angel?
“Jian Zhi . ”
Jian Zhi turned and looked at Jiang Ziya, asking in puzzlement, “Huh? What is it?”
Jiang Ziya looked at Jian Zhi . There didn’t seem to be anything off about him, but the angel behind him had disappeared . When did such an eye-catching angel disappear?
He had been worrying the entire night, feeling that there was something off the entire time . He hadn’t noticed the whereabouts of the angel at all . Just when in the world did the angel disappear?
Was it when Jian Zhi told the model “You’re so fake?” No, this cla.s.sroom is so dark . If the angel was still around then, it should have been really obvious, so…
His shoulder was suddenly patted . Jiang Ziya looked over at Lu Yang .
“Everyone’s leaving . ”
Only then did Jiang Ziya notice that everyone was looking at him .
“Oh, let’s go . ” The more he thought about it, the more his head hurt . He also felt that it was best to leave quickly .
The group left the medical building, pretty much in no mood to talk . Lu Yang purposely walked in the very front with Jiang Ziya to lead the way . Everything was too off, so it would be better for him to lead them to prevent them from being brought to the locations of the remaining two school wonders .
Thump, thump…
Behind them, Xu Xikai let out an “oh” and softly said, “The basketball courts are on our way out . ”
The group frantically looked to the side . Indeed, wasn’t the area beside the trees the basketball courts?
Around five or six figures stood under the shadows of the trees and laughingly said, “Want to play together?”
It’s the exact same as the legend! The group was practically scared out of their wits . Are all the legends going to happen today without fail?
I don’t care anymore! Lu Yang was truly angry now . Just as he was about to summon Slay without a care to vanquish all of these things before them…
“Huh? You’re not part of our major, right?”
Several guys holding basketb.a.l.l.s walked out from the shadows of the trees . They looked at the group in surprise and asked in confusion, “Why were you walking out of our department?”
The members of the Supernatural Phenomena Studies Society all stared at the guys in front of them in a stupor . They seemed to be… normal people?
Xu Xikai asked in suspicion, “W-Why are you playing basketball so late?”
A guy rubbed his nose and said, “Is it late? After we finish, we’ll be just in time for breakfast . After eating, we can cram, and then go directly to cla.s.s . ”
What about sleep?
Lu Yang turned to glance at Jiang Ziya, who shook his head .
Only then did Lu Yang relax and say, “Sorry, we were just doing a club activity . We’re already done, so we were about to leave . ”
The other person asked curiously, “What kind of club activity would bring you to our department?”
“Night venture . ”
The guys stilled and laughingly said, “A night venture to our department? Ah, got it, it was to investigate the school wonders, right?”
“Exactly . ” Lu Yang nodded . Right now, all he wanted was to quickly lead this group away from the school and have them all go home right away . Then, he still needed to discuss with Jiang Ziya what exactly had happened .
“Then, were you chased?” The guy asked with a smile .
“Chased?” Jiang Ziya asked, confused .
“By the anatomical model!”
The mention of the anatomical model made Lu Yang want to turn and glare at Jian Zhi, but he snapped, “No! Nothing happened!”
“Why so angry?”
Lu Yang really couldn’t be bothered to explain . He tossed out the words, “We’re leaving,” and then led everyone away .
Seeing that, the guys from the medical department also realized that this group wasn’t very happy, so they rubbed their noses and watched them walk away .
“Really, why the ugly complexions?”
“Bet they were scared out of their wits by the anatomical model . ”
“Please, that super fake model? Even if it really were to chase me just like the legend says, I wouldn’t be scared of it, okay! Besides, you just have to run around in the building once and you’d be fine . ”
“I would hope so . If it really were to chase you, I bet you’d p.i.s.s your pants…”
“Let’s split . ”
Xu Xikai said in frustration, “It was my fault . I didn’t plan it well . ”
“It wasn’t really your fault…”
The group consoled him but didn’t dare to say more . No one really knew just who was at fault . In a normal night venture, no one really antic.i.p.ated encountering anything supernatural, thinking it would probably be super boring . However, in actuality… Now, they would rather this activity have been beyond boring!
“Let’s go for now . ” Xu Xikai said, dejected, “I-I’m going to see if there’s anything odd caught on film . I’ll notify everyone in a club message later . ”
No one dared to respond, practically wanting to resign from the club .
Xu Xikai probably understood it, too . He hurriedly said, “Club adjourned,” and everyone fled .
As he watched the departing figures, Jiang Ziya froze .
“Ziya, let’s go . ” Lu Yang had his head lowered to look at his cell phone as he patted Jiang Ziya’s shoulder and said, “Let’s go to the abandoned campus . My dad hasn’t responded this entire time . I don’t know why . I want to go take a look . ”
“…Seven, eight . ”
“What?” Lu Yang lifted his head to look at Jiang Ziya, who was so spooked, it was like he was possessed .
“Plus us two, there are only ten people!” Jiang Ziya’s breath grew short . He shook his head, trying to clear his thoughts . “Why is there only Lin Zhixiang left of the girls? That’s not right at all!”
