Chapter 903: Chapter 903 - 414: Bro, Stop Competing
Hei Ao, at this moment, naturally noticed Fang Yu approaching.
He simply spoke calmly.
"You shouldn’t have come."
Fang Yu shrugged and sat down next to him.
"Who knew the situation here was so complicated."
Hei Ao also sighed.
He really had no choice.
Originally, he had a backer, now it’s Zuo Lv with the support.
Although the polarities have reversed, but no matter the case, neither of them really have any decision-making power.
The real control over the team has always been in the hands of their elders.
"You should have acted just now."
Hei Ao secretly wrote words on the ground.
Fang Yu shook his head slightly.
"I’m not confident," he paused, then continued, "and many people would die."
"Then we’ll have to just..." Hei Ao spread his arms, "...welcome to my dilemma."
"..."
This guy still has the heart to joke at a time like this.
It seems the situation isn’t that bad after all.
"Don’t worry, that old woman is just trying to scare you; going all the way, it’s not that easy to encounter a big enemy."
Saying this, Hei Ao had already laid back down to rest again.
He seemed rather carefree.
Fang Yu instructed the others to settle down.
Although they were dependent on others now, the addition of a pillar of support made it easier for the team to rest peacefully.
"Luckily you didn’t leave the city with us back then, otherwise you wouldn’t even have a chance to struggle now."
Hei Ao lamented.
Good intentions can also lead to bad outcomes.
He originally wanted to take Fang Yu along to prosper, but ended up unknowingly bringing trouble along, dragging Fang Yu out would have harmed him instead.
Fang Yu, following his usual routine, closed his eyes to rest, while also logging off.
After getting some food, while browsing his phone, he noticed a news pop-up.
"At Ye Shui High School, some young socialites conducted a live midnight exploration regarding the online legend of the ’disappearing thirteenth step,’ and mysteriously disappeared, now for three days..."
What midnight ghost story?
Fang Yu was slightly stunned.
He tapped it open casually, discovering a scene where a few good-looking streamers were jumping down step by step from a staircase hand in hand.
It looked like it was captured by the school security during patrols, with each streamer’s reaction somewhat chaotic in the footage.
Isn’t that it being found?
Upon closer inspection, it turned out the photos were taken before; these people were repeat offenders, and they disappeared only after coming again several times thereafter.
Fang Yu just regarded it as news to accompany his meal and casually scrolled past it.
Unexpectedly, it was remembered by the algorithms, and while scrolling short videos, he stumbled upon several news reports related to it, along with similar risky behavior.
Want to experience terror? Just go play games.
Demons pop out one after another at midnight, truly terrifying.
After finishing his last bite of rice, Fang Yu quickly went online for a game.
When Fang Yu logged onto the game, he didn’t notice the sudden light from the room of his neighbor sister across the hall.
It seemed like she had also switched to a night owl schedule, going to fix something to eat late at night.
Moreover, the neighbor sister next door was quite skilled at cooking, as the rolling aroma quickly spread outside.
...
Ye Shui High School.
Qi Xiaojin’s figure appeared on the rooftop of this school.
"Dead Silence Spirit... hiding so deep."
From the rooftop, she walked down along the stairs.
One step, one stair, and between the twelfth steps from the third to the fourth floor of the school...
"Lock of Human Sins... release!"
Bang!!!
An invisible shockwave exploded from Qi Xiaojin as she lifted her steps to the next point in an instant.
The stairway, which originally only had twelve steps, suddenly extended with a thirteenth step.
One foot landed.
Rows of numbers, like a curse, directly floated above Qi Xiaojin’s head!
But Qi Xiaojin just lifted her head and gave it a cold glance, something from within her body burst out aggressively.
Crack crack crack!
Those death countdown numbers instantly shattered into dozens of fragments, scattering all over the ground.
"Get out... come out for me!!!"
Boom!!!
The school building erupted with a massive boom, all the glass in the building shattered, and even the ground quaked fiercely.
Meanwhile, around the school, the streets were blocked by black cars, a mass of men in suits performing isolation outside.
Occasionally, there were flashes of light from inside the school, along with fierce collision noises.
Who knows how long it took before dozens of dazzling rays of light, like glass fragments, trailed long tails of light as they rapidly scattered from the school!
"Who... allowed you to leave!!!"
A thunderous shout!
Qi Xiaojin reached out into the void, those fragments of light instantly felt like they were being adhered, crazily being pulled back!
In fear, they tried harder to escape, just then a cracking sound was heard!
Some beams of light completely broke free, escaping away.
But more were dragged back into the teaching building by Qi Xiaojin, the light quickly dimmed and disappeared.
Standing by the classroom window, Qi Xiaojin covered her forehead from which blood was seeping, staring intently at those lights retreating into the distance, without a word.
"She still held back strength, and her consciousness is gradually awakening!"
"However, despite not eliminating it, I’ve frightened it away with this battle; it’s unlikely to dare linger in my territory again. As for where it heads next, that’s hard to determine."
Qi Xiaojin had the backing of her family group, delving deeper would surely reveal some clues.
But right now, she needed to return to recover for some time.
"And the Sheepskin Demon has been dormant too, not sure where it’s hiding..."
Continuously obtaining opportunities in the game, she impressively suppressed two major troubles.
Yet both the Dead Silence Spirit and the Sheepskin Demon were too cunning to be cleanly eliminated in one go.
