The appearance of the art teacher and Xia Yang didn’t surprise Gao Ming. He was the one who asked them to come there. The things that happened underneath the lab building were perfect for Xia Yang. Be it You Liang, who was as clean as a winter sun, or the red raincoat who represented the deepest hatred, even the Class 13 and the investigators who fought for their own benefits brought endless inspiration to Xia Yang.

The art teacher narrowed her eyes to hide the greed deep inside her eyes. Xia Yang desired the red raincoat and You Liang’s souls. He wanted to paint them and trap them inside his painting. “I love this world more and more.”

The art teacher took out a paintbrush and drew You Liang and the red raincoat on the wall. With each new brushstroke, she would have a new wound on her body. It was as if the paint she used was her own blood.

You Liang and the red raincoat who fought each other noticed the art teacher’s presence. However, this didn’t give the red raincoat any pause. To fully consume You Liang, the raincoat had been covered in unhealable gashes. You Liang’s face paled. His power was limited like his life. In the end, he would lose all the happiness and become a ghost with bloody hands. If this continued, the red raincoat would really kill him.

“Run! Leave the underground first!” Gao Ming shouted at the students of Class 13. Even though some of them deserved to die, most didn’t show any malice towards Gao Ming.

The students who had stolen some of the boxes instantly fled once they heard Gao Ming’s reminder. These people would find all kinds of excuses to evade a fight, but they would run faster than athletes if they were asked to flee.

“Leave the dead body of the red coat’s child behind!” The people of the centre were about to go insane. The core had already been snatched by Gao Ming. If the students escaped with the other boxes, the red raincoat might get out of control, “This red raincoat has butchered an entire bus of people! If she goes on a rampage, she will hunt down every soul who has touched her child’s body! None of you will be spared!”

Hearing the investigators’ threat, the students only paused for point five seconds out of politeness before they flew to the exit.

“The school is collapsing. Why should we care about that?” Xi San was an athlete. He ran to the front of the group. He carried two boxes. They contained the child’s left and right arm. The formation that controlled the red raincoat crumbled. The captain from Huan Men cursed before he ordered his people to adjust their position. Their control over the raincoat weakened more and more. Patients of the Fear Illness shuffled in while the mad people ran out. Both parties were tormented by fear. They didn’t even have the time to breathe.

“Headmistress Yan! You have to go with the kids!” The human bricks who got their student IDs back struggled loose from the bricks. However, there were still many students who hadn’t gotten their IDs back. Their eyes were still dull.

Headmistress Yan wanted to hug all the children to give them warmth and lead them away, but there were too many children who needed help. She was born with kindness and couldn’t bear to see any injustice. However, despite all that she had done in her life, she was at her limits. Headmistress Yan could call every child by their name. She was at the bottom of the foundation to stop the kids from falling into the shadow world.

“As long as they haven’t been corrupted by the shadow, they still have a chance at a normal life.”

“Yan Xizhi! You have to save yourself before you save others!” Gao Ming rode on the big dog and jumped between the crumbling underground first and second floors.

“You don’t understand. These children have already been abandoned. They have expended unimaginable courage to walk out of the shadow of abandonment. I can’t abandon them again.” Headmistress Yan didn’t see the students as numbers. They were all bright faces and people who existed in her memory.

Gao Ming admired Headmistress Yan. He didn’t have the ability to save everyone, so he could only choose to save those who believed in him.

“Then, wait for me to come back!” Gao Ming said that subconsciously. He was startled because he seemed to have said the same exact thing in his memory before. “Have I once told Gao Yun that?”

The rocks and pebbles fell. Gao Ming and his neighbours avoided the fight between the big ghosts. They worked to send the weak human bricks up to the surface. The human bricks around Gao Ming became lesser. Han De Private School was built on these human bricks. After they gained freedom, those who enjoyed the stability of the school would suffer.

The student council and teachers who benefited from the school rules and Situ An’s rules rushed over. The living students and ghost students on the surface approached as well.

Even though their lives were heavily-oppressed, at least they wouldn’t die yet. However, if all the human bricks escaped, Han De Private School would be destroyed. Everyone would die, or they would have to make new human bricks!

Thankfully, Fear Illness had fully spread around the school. Otherwise, he would face a lot more resistance. The students would stand against Gao Ming for their own survival.

“Destroy everything for the sake of rebirth!” Xia Yang’s laugh came from underground. In the whole school, he was the happiest as he moved the brush to create one after another creepy yet haunting drawings.

The cracks extended to the surface. A giant hole appeared around the lab building. The human bricks buried underground saw the sun again. The faces embedded into the foundation finally saw the clouded sky with Gao Ming’s help. The storm seeped between the human bricks, and the lightning cut through the blood mist. The thunder sounded like a demon roaring. The school trembled. The human bricks awakened by Gao Ming wanted to escape. Every building at the school shook. The walls that entrapped the students started to teeter.

“The school rules are affected. The world outside the wall is a lot more real than before!” The rain slid down Wang Jie’s cheeks. He ran to grab the racing Xi San, “Stop running!”

“What’s wrong, Brother Jie?” Xi San hugged the boxes and asked in a daze.

“Follow me to the field. We’ll hijack a bus and try to leave!” Wang Jie instantly changed his direction.

“Don’t we need to inform the others like Du Bai and Gao Ming?” Xi San raised the boxes he was holding. “Also, should we keep carrying these boxes?”

“Don’t worry about the others. They are much cleverer than you are.” Wang Jie dragged Xi San, “As long as we drive the bus over, someone will get on the bus. We only need to ensure we have our seats on the bus.”

“What if we bring the ghosts out of the school? The city can’t handle the ghosts!” Xi San said worriedly.

“Stop wasting time! Come with me! We’re stealing a bus!” Wang Jie waved his knife. There were teachers from the investigation centre guarding the field. They were guarding the bus sent in by the headquarters, but Class 13 had treated everyone from the investigation centre as their enemy. They would attack if they had the chance.

“These students who became the school rules are indeed annoying.” Doctor Lu walked out of the infirmary. Behind him was a group of students with bandaged faces. From their body shape, they corresponded to every student in Class 13.

“Some of them have already escaped, but it doesn’t matter. They won’t survive for long. As long as I can capture the big fish.” Doctor Lu’s eyes moved from the school hall to Gao Ming, “From the start, I sensed something wrong with him. A bad feeling rose in my heart. Why would I be afraid of a young man whom I had not met? I’ve killed so many people. I can’t even remember if I have any history with him.”

The slender fingers traced the shell. Doctor Lu’s skin was covered with a lot of stitches.

“It’s alright. Once I kill him and dig out the root, the history between us will end.”

Gao Ming suddenly felt his scalp go numb like he had been targeted by some venomous bugs. He looked around and spotted Doctor Lu, who just exited the office building.

“You really can’t run away from your enemies.” If not for the fact that he still hadn’t found Situ An’s hiding spot, he would have rushed over to swallow Doctor Lu. “Calm down. I have to keep the God of Flesh and Blood and the torture room hidden. I can’t let Situ An know of them.”

It was chaos in the school, but Gao Ming believed it could be even more chaotic. He hid the death portrait of the flood in his hand. He had a last communication with Zhang Ding.

The student council members at the activity building had already left. The flood became more ferocious. Endless water ghosts crashed into the windows of the building.
