Chapter 177: Calamity Fluctuations from Tianhua No. 2 High School

Under the cover of night, the bat that Zhou Chu had transformed into glided silently over Shenxia University.

At this moment, his heartbeat was synchronized with the pulse of the surrounding life, and the sonar map clearly outlined the contours of the entire area in his mind.

Just then, his Communication Watch emitted a few urgent beeps; a piece of emergency intelligence had just been transmitted.

Zhou Chu checked it immediately, his pupils shrinking abruptly.

Because this message originated from Tianhua No. 2 High School in Tianhua City.

The intelligence indicated that a dense Calamity Aura had been suddenly detected within Tianhua No. 2 High School.

Clearly, this intelligence was issued via the Calamity Monitor installed inside Tianhua No. 2 High School and transmitted through the networked system.

However, the specific situation remained unknown.

Holding the idea of testing the Blood Queen's abilities, Zhou Chu decided to return to Tianhua City overnight to see what exactly had happened.

……

Tianhua City No. 2 High School.

Principal's office.

Luo Dachun sat in a leather swivel chair, his legs resting on the edge of the desk, his gaze fixed hazily on the night scene outside the window.

More than two months had passed since the end of the College Entrance Exam, which was also two months since Qin Ye had gone missing again.

Qin Ye had appeared at the level assessment ceremony before the College Entrance Exam and had vanished without a trace after failing the exam.

To search for traces of Qin Ye, Luo Dachun had even gone to the orphanage where Qin Ye once stayed to inquire, but he still did not receive any news of the other party.

Although Luo Dachun had put a lot of hard work into Qin Ye and invested a great deal of funds.

But as the saying goes, a teacher for one day is a father for life.

In Luo Dachun's heart, he still felt a sense of concern for Qin Ye.

Even though his "heart" now belonged to another.

Just as Luo Dachun was lost in his thoughts, a pair of fair arms gently wrapped around his neck from behind, and a coquettish voice came: "So you are here."

Luo Dachun instantly snapped back to reality, reached out and pulled this woman, who was wearing only a transparent nightgown, into his arms, a look of intoxication appearing on his face: "What, did you miss me after not seeing me for just a moment?"

The woman giggled shyly: "Of course, without you by my side, I can't even sleep peacefully in my dreams."

Although this woman had reached middle age, both her appearance and figure still retained their charm; she was an out-and-out beautiful mature woman.

Listening to the woman's sweet words, the smile on Luo Dachun's face grew even brighter.

This beautiful woman was none other than Qin Ye's foster mother, Luo Manli.

When Qin Ye was six years old, Luo Manli, who had just divorced at the time, adopted him from the orphanage in Tianhua City.

It could be said that for Qin Ye to later receive personal training from Principal Luo Dachun, this beautiful woman deserved much of the credit.

Although Qin Ye was adopted, in Luo Manli's eyes, she treated him as her own.

After he entered high school, in order to have the school give Qin Ye special care, Luo Manli had put in quite a lot of effort.

In the end, she simply focused her efforts on the principal, Luo Dachun.

It just so happened that at the time, Luo Dachun was in a state of separation from his wife due to marital discord and felt lonely and empty inside.

Coupled with the fact that Luo Manli was young, beautiful, gentle, and considerate at the time, she quickly moved him.

From then on, the two gradually came together, their relationship grew increasingly intimate, and it developed into a secret affair that lasted for three long years.

They had assumed that once Qin Ye entered university, the two of them could logically be together.

But they never expected that Qin Ye would inexplicably fail the College Entrance Exam before it and then play at disappearing.

Just as Luo Dachun and Luo Manli were immersed in this moment of warmth, the office door was suddenly smashed open by a powerful force, instantly shattering into pieces.

A strong Calamity Aura instantly permeated the air.

Luo Manli was scared pale, clutching Luo Dachun tightly, her eyes filled with terror as she looked toward the doorway.

Luo Dachun was also startled, but he still feigned composure, then pushed Luo Manli away from his arms and walked toward the door.

Just as he stepped out of the office, the thick Calamity Aura rushed toward him, choking Luo Dachun into a fit of coughing.

A mass of black mist suddenly struck, slamming into Luo Dachun's body and knocking him directly back into the office.

Immediately following, his body, which had been knocked flying, was tightly bound by black tentacles extending from the black mist.

At this moment, a tall monster slowly emerged from the black mist.

This monster resembled a human, but it had thick limbs and a twisted face; its eyes flashed with an eerie purple light, and it kept emitting bone-chilling low roars from its mouth.

Its thick, hook-like claws were tightly gripping Luo Dachun's neck, lifting him into mid-air.

"Are you... Qin Ye?"

Due to suffocation, Luo Dachun's face turned red and bloated; he squeezed a few words out of his throat with extreme difficulty.

Hearing Luo Dachun's words, the monster's constant low growling stopped abruptly; the claw gripping Luo Dachun's neck loosened slightly, and a pair of eyes flashing with eerie purple light stared straight at Luo Dachun, as if struggling to recall something.

Seeing this, terror and confusion intertwined in Luo Manli's heart; she shouted with a trembling voice: "Dachun, what are you saying? This... how could this be Qin Ye?"

In fact, Luo Dachun also felt like a stranger to the monster before him, but only upon seeing the robe on the monster's body, which had become tattered, did he recognize the monster's identity.

"Qin Ye, how did you become like this..." Luo Dachun struggled to say again.

But at this moment, Luo Manli did not believe that this terrifying monster before her was her son Qin Ye, so she roared loudly: "You filthy creature, let go of my man!"

While roaring loudly, Luo Manli frantically fumbled in the desk drawer for a handgun, then pulled the trigger at the monster.

"Bang!" The bullet whistled out, shooting straight toward the monster.

This monster was instantly enraged; it saw Luo Manli, who had fired at it, with its eyes fixed, and let out a deafening roar.

Immediately after, its other hand suddenly elongated, knocked the handgun out of Luo Manli's hand, and then tightly gripped her neck.

With a crisp snap, Luo Manli's neck was twisted, and she stopped breathing instantly; her corpse fell to the ground with a thud, her eyes still wide open in terror.

Luo Manli was, after all, just an ordinary person who had not bound a Soul Profession.

And the Calamity monster before her killed her as if it were pinching an ant to death.

Witnessing this scene, Luo Dachun let out a desperate scream.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he recklessly unleashed his Soul Power, attempting to fight the monster to the death.

"You beast, I am going to kill you!"

Luo Dachun realized that the monster before him was no longer his student Qin Ye, but had turned into a terrifying Calamity monster.

Who would have thought, the more Luo Dachun unleashed his Soul Power, the more he felt his Soul Power being incessantly drained by the monster.

He discovered with horror that his Soul Power was being sucked away by the monster continuously, like a flood breaking through a dam.

"Mortal, struggle on; the more you struggle, the happier I become!" the monster emitted a sinister voice.
