Chapter 145 First Lesson
“Ahhhh——!”

Seeing the classmate jumping off the sink in a weird posture, with a tone and demeanor like a murderer, and then looking at the blood-stained saw in her hand, several girls in the bathroom screamed at the same time and rushed towards the door in panic.

Song Yutang ran away.

But before she left, she turned around to confirm that the other party did not catch up with her and seemed to be just scaring them.

But Song Yutang didn’t feel relaxed at all. Instead, the heavy feeling grew heavier.

She was now certain that the other party’s goal was to block the doors and windows of the building, blocking the entrances and exits to the outside and inside, and preventing anyone from escaping.

Although this girl did not attack him, if she wanted to escape, it would be a different matter.

So, what exactly are they going to do?
as well as……

In this building, how many girls are controlled by the strange black smoke?

……

at the same time.

On the first floor of the dormitory, there is a large door leading to the outside world.

In front of the door blocked by the crazy woman, more and more people gathered, and it gradually became as lively as a market.

Someone was standing on tiptoe, taking photos and videos with his mobile phone, and the sound of flash lights was continuous.

“Don’t push, don’t push, hey…what are you doing? I have a knife!”

“People at the back, don’t push forward! It’s dangerous!”

The girls blocking the front were the ones who had confronted the madman at the beginning. Now they were still keeping a certain distance from him and did not dare to move forward.

Having said that, the mood of the people here is indeed becoming more and more relaxed. After all, the other party did not take any action except blocking the door.

Two or three minutes have passed now, and the person who should come should have arrived.

“Someone is coming!”

Several girls who wanted to go back to the dormitory approached the door from outside and found it was locked. Then they saw the bustling crowd inside through the glass and realized that something was wrong. They turned around and immediately went to find the dormitory manager.

Less than half a minute later, the burly dormitory manager came back with pliers in her hand, accompanied by a middle-aged man in a hat and security uniform.

“Hey, little girl, get out of the way!”

Auntie slammed the door hard and shouted loudly.

The woman in pajamas standing in front of the door with her back to them did not move, as if she was unaware.

“Don’t pay attention to her, Auntie, let’s just open the door!”

someone said.

The dormitory manager inserted one end of the pliers into the gap, pulled twice without moving it, and then handed it to the man next to her.

“rumble!”

The security guard pulled twice hard, the whole door was shaking, the chain slid down, and he squatted down.

Just as he was about to make further efforts, he accidentally raised his head and the man’s expression suddenly changed.

I don’t know when it started, but the woman in pajamas who was blocking the door turned around and lowered her head, and the two of them looked at each other across a glass door.

“Hey, come closer…”

It was a pale but smiling face.

He seemed to hear the young girl talking to him, but he didn’t know whether it was because of the glass or because her voice was not loud to begin with, the words just floated past his ears, becoming lighter and lighter, like a balloon filled with hydrogen…

“Crack.”

The security guard’s hand trembled, his eyeballs dilated incredibly, and intense pain came from his neck. A long bloody wound appeared, one end cut through the trachea, and the other end passed through the gap between the glass doors.

The handle of the knife stuck in his neck was held in the hand of the girl behind the door. Blood could not stop gushing out and splashing, like snowflakes in winter, drifting and sticking to the glass door.

His eyes went dark and his body slid down limply.

The corners of the madman’s mouth turned up, revealing a crooked arc.

It was not until they saw blood spurting out of the security guard’s throat that the dormitory manager and the girls following behind him reacted. They immediately turned pale and ran away.

The girls on the other side of the door reacted even later. After a few seconds of slowness, they saw blood flowing in through the gap between the glass door and the ground. They saw the pajamas girl slowly turn around, with blood dripping from the sharp knife in her hand…

Panic exploded like bubbles on the surface of boiling water. The crowded crowd that was originally blocking the door all fell apart and fled in all directions amid screams.

The woman did not chase after him. She just stood there quietly with a cruel smile on her face, as always.

Song Yutang ran to the second floor, and not surprisingly, saw a girl with black smoke covering her face, waiting by the window at the end of the corridor.

She didn’t go up to the third floor again.

It’s no longer necessary. At the second floor, we can still use ropes and sheets to find a way out. At the third floor, the risk is too great and the gain is not worth the loss. It’s better to just stay where you are and wait for rescue…

The panicked girls stepped onto the stairs, crossed the corridor, ran past Song Yutang, closed their dormitories and locked the doors.

The girl leaned against the fire hydrant in a somewhat dejected manner. At this moment, she heard screams and shouts again – coming from downstairs, this time the entire corridor was boiling with words that made people pay attention:

“Kill people, kill people!”

Song Yutang quickly turned on his cell phone.

Someone uploaded a photo in the dormitory group.

The body of a man whose face could not be seen was kneeling outside the door, and the nearby glass was splattered with blood. The madman was standing in a pool of blood with a knife in his hand, his head slightly lowered, but his eyes were staring at the screen, as if he was staring straight at the person taking the photo, with the corners of his mouth wide open.

The classic “Kubrick gaze” look, full of evil and uneasiness, becomes even more impactful when frozen in a still photo. There is no problem using it as a horror movie poster.

The thing is, this is reality.

“How could it become like this…”

She saw someone post this sentence in the group.

Through the screen, she seemed to be able to imagine the girl’s fear and the way her fingers trembled as she typed. She felt the same way.

Yeah, how did things turn out like this?
It was less than a few minutes since she packed her things and prepared to leave the dormitory; if she could be a little faster –

No, now is not the time to think about that.

There was no point in complaining about myself. I just decided that I was an unlucky person and a fool. The question was, what was going to happen next? Was there anything else I could do? Song Yutang bit her lip and tried to calm herself down.

I guess the school’s security department and the police who received the emergency call are on their way now.

Someone has been killed, on a university campus. This is definitely big news that will be reported in newspapers and even on TV. There is no doubt about the speed of response.

But Song Yutang was still worried.

Unlike others, she knew that there was an evil force behind this matter that was beyond human intelligence. Ordinary people might not be able to solve the problem, and might even lead to unnecessary sacrifices.

She took a deep breath and took out her cell phone.

There is still only one person I can turn to for help.

Even if we can’t get timely assistance, at least we should let the other party know the news here. Judging from his tone, the boy should have close contact with the official department…

*
When Cen Dongsheng received Song Yutang’s call for help, he was walking out of the classroom.

The sky gradually darkened, and the students around were laughing and walking down the stairs in twos and threes, creating a harmonious scene.

He enjoyed a day of college life with great interest and was about to go home after class until Song Yutang’s voice came from the other side of the radio.

“Cen, classmate Cen, are you in school now? Can you please come to our dormitory, which is in Building 17… Master, save me?!” “What’s wrong?”

“There was black smoke coming out of someone’s face in the dormitory building… There was more than one person… They blocked the way and wouldn’t let anyone leave… Someone was killed!”

Song Yutang’s words were a little halting due to panic, but her logic was still clear. The experienced Cen Dongsheng could easily hear what was happening.

“Understood. Don’t worry. I’ll be right there.”

Soon, he heard people nearby talking in surprise and doubt. This matter had spread rapidly through various channels on campus.

Cen Dongsheng glanced at the class group and saw that some people were also having a heated discussion, and some even volunteered to go there to take a look at the situation.

Well, young people are really not afraid of death.

He called An Zhizhen again.

As if he had predicted that Cen Dongsheng would call, the other party answered the call immediately and took the initiative to explain the situation:
“I just received a call from your school. I heard that someone went crazy… Wait, someone seems to have died. So, is it related to the supernatural?”

“Nine times out of ten.”

“Then I’ll leave it to you. Do you need me to inform Sister Qingyan?”

“No need.”

“That’s right. You can contact her now with just a thought, which is much more convenient than contacting me. This kind of intimate relationship is really enviable. As a girlfriend, I don’t even have it.”

…What a resentful tone.

He sighed and replied.

“I mean, people of this level don’t need to bother others.”

After the call ended, Cen Dongsheng put away his phone.

He pulled down his hood, and in the next second…

The young man began to run.

Like a cheetah’s starting posture, the speed burst out by the strong body in an instant exceeds the dynamic force of humans. In the dim light, only a dim shadow can be seen; passing by others, only a faint wind sound that makes people suspicious is left.

His figure flew across street lights, roadside trees and houses, moving towards his destination.

……

Song Yutang did not return to the dormitory.

If the group of possessed guys were going to take action, a mere door panel would be meaningless. It would be better to observe their situation in the corridor. At least I could provide that person with some information…

The girl thought so in her heart, but she couldn’t help shaking. She hugged her shoulders with both hands and hid in the corner alone.

She buried her head in her knees, holding tightly in her hand the cell phone that symbolized hope.

Just then, the fuselage shook.

Song Yutang quickly picked it up, and there was only one sentence on the bright white screen:

“Where are you?”

The previous sentence was “I’ll be there right away”, and the next sentence was a concise and clear question, just like the impression the boy gave people, calm, even cold, but extremely reliable.

She quickly checked the surrounding situation. The man was still guarding the windowsill and hadn’t moved. No one came up from the corridor…

“It’s in the middle of the corridor on the second floor of the dormitory.”

Almost immediately after Song Yutang sent the message, the reply came.

“I have arrived.”

Eh?
Song Yutang was stunned for a moment, subconsciously straightened his back and looked towards the window leading to the outside world.

“boom!”

In the cool night, the entire glass shattered into silver flowers all over the sky, reflecting the cold and astringent light.

The woman standing by the windowsill was unable to fight back and fell silently.

“Crench.”

A pair of shoes stepped on the broken glass, and a familiar tall young man was standing there.

Although he had anticipated this scene, perhaps because the other party came too quickly, Song Yutang’s heartbeat subconsciously quickened after witnessing it with his own eyes.

——He came to save me, once again…

……

Cen Dongsheng climbed in from the windowsill and glanced down at the unconscious woman lying on the ground.

It was exactly the same as what Song Yutang had described, with black smoke covering one side of his face, as if it was a fungus that had grown together with the flesh.

Apart from this, his body has not changed much and he is still an ordinary person. Only the brain seems to be rooted by something, which is why he lost his mind and fell into madness… Maybe it penetrated through the facial skin.

This is a typical “possession” phenomenon, but compared to Ms. Zhou, the first victim in the Xiaokang Building incident, at least there was no systemic mutation. As long as a method is found to separate the root of the black fog from the face, there may still be hope.

But now was not the right time, he walked towards the girl in the corner with steady steps.

……

“What’s wrong? You look listless.”

Compared to Cen Dongsheng who greeted her, Song Yutang was obviously not so relaxed. She raised her face, which was a little paler than usual, and forced a smile.

“I…I just feel that I am useless…”

You are not even a spell-master, what use can you be?

You can’t be like your older sister and younger sister at home, who have already awakened their powers or are in a state of awakening whenever they want, and can turn against each other at will.

In this world, only a few are born monsters.

Cen Dongsheng thought about it. Although they had only met twice including today, he felt that this girl’s character, apart from the deeper aspects, was indeed good, which was consistent with the good rumors about her in her previous life.

A girl with attitude and potential is worth cultivating.

So, he decided to say a few words of comfort.

“You’re really useless.”

“?”

Song Yutang gasped and felt like she was about to cry.

“But this situation is not your problem. You were not able to escape only because you were unlucky.”

If he had been there a few minutes earlier, he would have probably escaped.

Moreover, how could her haunted experience that night suddenly turn into a terrorist attack on the entire dormitory building… Even if Cen Dongsheng was the person involved, he might not have expected such a development.

This is by no means a natural evolution, but rather someone is fanning the flames behind the scenes.

“Also, you called me ‘Master’ on the phone, right?”

“Eh?” The girl opened her eyes wide, finally breaking free from her lost mood. Her face flushed slightly, and she quickly explained, “I’m sorry, at that time…”

Before Song Yutang responded, he waved his hand first.

“I’m not forcing you to make up your mind. But since you’ve run into this, I’ll teach you a trick. This is a rare opportunity to actually fight, and it’s just right to be used as the first lesson for a newbie.”
