Chapter 739: One After Another
Translator: CKtalon
Long Yuehong’s heart sank as an idea came to him. “Is there a possibility that they returned home after school?”
School’s out for Tai City’s No. 1 Senior High School!
Before Genava could give the analysis results, Bai Chen shook her head and denied Long Yuehong’s guess. “Impossible. We’ve been waiting for Team Leader and Hey at the door the entire time. Even though the dreamscape expanded, I didn’t miss out on my observations.”
If they could see Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao walk out of the school gate, why would they have taken the risk to enter?
“Maybe it was when we infiltrated the school and headed here?” Long Yuehong didn’t blindly agree with Bai Chen.
During the corresponding process, they couldn’t fully observe the students leaving the school.
Bai Chen tersely acknowledged it. “The probability isn’t high; there weren’t many students left back then. However, this possibility can’t be ruled out.”
Genava quickly suggested, “If we don’t find Team Leader and Hey in school, should we visit Du Shaochong’s house?”
Long Yuehong expressed a different opinion. “The anomaly in the dream is still ongoing. I’m afraid something will go wrong if we stay too long.”
Genava turned his head 360 degrees and checked his surroundings as he said, “You should indeed evacuate. I’m no longer affected by the illusion, so I can stay a little longer.”
“Stop wasting time.” Bai Chen was accustomed to facing danger when she was still a wilderness nomad. She knew that one had to make a swift decision in such situations; otherwise, everyone would die together with barely a few lucky people surviving.
She was the lucky one once.
Bai Chen didn’t stop and quickly explained her plan. “After searching the rooftop area, we’ll go to Grade 12’s Class 5 and Grade 12’s Class 1 to see if Team Leader and Hey are in the classroom. If not, we’ll leave the school where the dreamscape is at its strongest. There should still be a buffer period when we are outside. Let’s take advantage of the buffer period to visit Du Shaochong’s house. If we don’t discover anything, we’ll evacuate Tai City and request help from the company.”
She didn’t ask Genava and Long Yuehong if they agreed. She turned around and checked the areas she couldn’t see previously.
Genava and Long Yuehong didn’t argue any further. They followed Bai Chen’s plan and worked as a team.
There weren’t many obstacles on the rooftop, so they quickly confirmed that Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao weren’t there.
As they headed down the stairs, Genava—who was never worried that running would affect his speech—briefly recounted his previous encounter.
Dajiang City… Another Buddhist Holy Land… But why are they all from Dajiang City’s Elite Middle School? Long Yuehong frowned slightly. He felt that his team leader and Hey’s experiment had indeed found the key, but for some reason, it resulted in such a strange follow-up.
Bai Chen also couldn’t understand what had happened. She only knew that the dreamscape had mutated after the key information was obtained.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
They ran to Grade 12, Class 5’s classroom.
Long Yuehong and Bai Chen looked over with joy because Xu Qiao—who Jiang Baimian was acting as—was sitting in her seat with a dazed expression.
Although Long Yuehong didn’t understand his team leader’s current state, he felt that it was better to find her than not!
The three of them accelerated and rushed into Grade 12, Class 5.
Xu Qiao—who was acting as Jiang Baimian—looked up when she heard the commotion. Clear panic first appeared on her face before her entire face darkened.
She propped herself up with her hands, stood up, and ran to the window on the other side of the classroom. At this moment, she seemed to have erupted with her original physical qualities. She was as fast as a cheetah as she jumped onto the windowsill.
She suddenly pushed open the glass window, planning to jump down the building to commit suicide!
Bai Chen and Long Yuehong saw that they couldn’t save her in time, and Genava lost the best trajectory to leap due to their and the ceiling’s obstruction.
Bam!
A syringe-like anesthetic bullet flew out of Genava’s palm, passed through the gap, and stabbed into Jiang Baimian’s back.
Jiang Baimian swayed, and her eyes quickly glazed over. Even if she had an outstanding physique and was as strong as an ox, she couldn’t withstand the anesthetic round that hadn’t been diluted.
Jiang Baimian’s attempt to jump off the building quickly became a feeble attempt as she tottered. Half of her body slammed into the window frame, and she bounced back before collapsing backward.
Bai Chen took a stride forward and caught Jiang Baimian. After a brief inspection, she carried her team leader and said, “Let’s go! Grade 12, Class 1!”
This was on the floor below.
Genava and Long Yuehong turned around and ran toward the corridor.
Upon seeing that there were no more students in the school, they flipped over the wall railing and easily jumped to the next floor.
Just below Grade 12, Class 5 was Grade 12, Class 1.
Long Yuehong looked over, and Shang Jianyao’s figure was reflected in his eyes.
The latter wore an old school uniform with blue and white colors as he paced back and forth.
Shang Jianyao picked up a pen and gestured at his neck twice as if he were searching for a carotid artery in a bid to stab it in.
At this moment, he raised his left hand and slapped himself. His face swelled up as his pen flew out.
His split personality is resisting the suicidal thought? This thought flashed across Long Yuehong’s mind. He didn’t expect an advantage to come from the Shang Jianyaos’ disagreements.
However, the one who looked like he wanted to commit suicide now had the upper hand. It might not be long before he succeeded.
At this moment, Genava jumped over and landed behind Shang Jianyao. The next second, he raised his bowl-sized iron fist.
Bang!
Genava knocked Shang Jianyao out with one hand and picked him up with the other, placing him in a fireman’s carry.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
He ran with Long Yuehong and Bai Chen—who had rushed down the stairs.
