Chapter 416

Feng Ju was frantic with worry, wishing he could rush down immediately to rescue his daughter, but the Special Commissioner's words from just now were like a thorn, lodged deep in his heart, forcing him to weigh the pros and cons.

His inner self struggled, as if torn in two; one side was reason's dissuasion, the other the instinct of paternal love.

Suddenly, his blood-red eyes widened sharply, and he let out a low roar as if struck by inspiration:

"【Mask】! 【Mask】 went in too, chase——!"

Before his words had even fallen, Feng Ju had already flipped off the Presidium, like a beast gone out of control, charging straight for the blown-open sewer entrance.

At the same time, Dong Ping and several other Constables pushed against the panicked crowd, forcing their way into the Campus, sprinting toward that same direction.

The Special Commissioner's expression froze instantly, his gaze cold as ice: "……"

He stared at the wildly fleeing backs, a sense of indescribable absurdity surging in his heart.

I told you to watch 【Mask】, and this is how you watch?

Lying to my face right in front of me; besides one girl and seven monsters in the sewer, I didn't see 【Mask】 chase in at all. Could it be… you're trying to hint to me… that your daughter is 【Mask】?

The Special Commissioner's throat twitched slightly, emitting a bone-chilling cold laugh:

"So it's an ungrateful white-eyed wolf after all… Hmph——, very good!"

………

Cui Cui clutched her mouth tightly with one hand, her voice trembling and terrified: "Yu Huai… is she still alive?"

Zhang Liyou's inner self surged with complex emotions.

How she wished Feng Yuhuai had already become part of that pile of meat paste, thoroughly disappearing from this world.

But she knew better than anyone, Feng Yuhuai was no ordinary person; she was likewise a man-eating monster!

And how could a monster possibly be easily killed by other monsters?

"But perhaps… Feng Yuhuai might be injured?"

This thought flashed through her Nao Hai, carrying a trace of fluke hope and anticipation.

She took a deep breath, the fishy smell permeating the cold air rushing into her chest cavity; a trace of determined coldness flashed in her eyes, and she abruptly turned her head to look towards Cui Cui:

"Cui Cui, I'm going after Yu Huai! Don't just stand there stupidly, hurry up and escape the School! Remember, absolutely do not come back recently!"

Finished speaking, Zhang Liyou didn't wait for Cui Cui to respond, and had already rushed out urgently.

Cui Cui froze for a moment; how could she rest assured letting Zhang Liyou go rescue Yu Huai alone?

She gritted her teeth, immediately quickening her steps, hurriedly following after.

Zhang Liyou sensed the movement behind her, brows furrowed tightly, a trace of irritation surfacing on her face:

"Why are you following me? Didn't I tell you to hurry and escape? Cui Cui, don't….."

Cui Cui interrupted Zhang Liyou's words with incomparable stubbornness, her voice trembling but incomparably firm:

"Liyou, can't let you go alone! Yu Huai is my friend too, I can't abandon you guys, and also, I have to find Xiao Juan….."

Zhang Liyou squeezed through the chaotic crowd with great effort, carefully detouring around a monster waving a camera pole, her foot stepping into a wet, sticky blood pit; the viscous sensation made her insides churn, nausea rising straight up.

She forcefully suppressed the urge to vomit, wanting to turn back and dissuade Cui Cui a few final words, but heard Cui Cui's voice hoarse, trembling as she said:

"Among those monsters chasing Yu Huai… there's one with a tattered piece of clothing looped around its neck. Though it's stained with sewage and filthy beyond recognition, I recognized it; that's the pajamas Xiao Juan wore the night she went missing.

Xiao Juan might be….."

Zhang Liyou's face darkened instantly, her lips moving slightly, all the words that reached her mouth swallowed back down her throat.

Her gaze abruptly turned incomparably cold, she gnashed her teeth and said ruthlessly:

"Cui Cui, once we go down later, you must listen to me in everything. Because there's something I've never told you… Xiao Juan actually is….."

While speaking, Zhang Liyou reached out and pulled away that twisted corpse hanging by the hole's edge, then without the slightest hesitation leapt down along the pitch-black pit.

Cui Cui stood in place, heart pounding like a drum; she gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and followed, jumping down as well.

Luo Ji watched a group of Constables and two female students jump into the sewer one after another; his heart had originally felt some retreat, but then his courage was stirred up again.

"Wealth is sought in danger; the greater the risk, the greater the wealth!"

Luo Ji walked quickly in a circle, a sliding step sticking close to the blood pit, directly sliding into the sewer.

…….

In the female dormitory corridor, it appeared exceptionally quiet at this moment, forming a stark contrast with the chaos outside.

The crowd had long since swarmed outward in escape; anyone with a bit of brains didn't dare stay inside the rooms anymore.

Everyone feared that some monster might rush in and sweep the floor.

The corridor was empty of people, only a few doors not shut tight swaying gently in the wind, emitting creaking sounds.

Dim light sprinkled down from the Ceiling, cast onto the ground, stretching mottled shadows; in the Cesuo, a faucet not tightened dripped with a drip-drip sound.

Slap slap slap——

The assistant frantically slapped the female Doctor's face, the crisp sound of palm striking cheek exceptionally piercing.

The female Doctor finally woke from her daze, the two gazing at each other with tear-filled eyes, complex emotions intertwined in their gazes, as if silently conversing:

"Why did you slap me awake? Wouldn't it be better to let me die in the dream….."

"But reality is a nightmare… I don't dare face it alone….."

After a moment of silence, the two tacitly climbed up, dragging heavy steps toward the Corner's Cesuo.

The corridor echoed with their low dialogue, their tone revealing despair and struggle:

"The performance advanced too much, we're dead for sure this time….."

"There must be a problem somewhere… if we can find the reason the Senior Sisters rioted early, perhaps… perhaps there's still a tiny chance of rescue?"

"That's right, the Senior Sisters are usually very obedient, someone must have stimulated them… we have to find that person….."

They spoke ghost words even they didn't quite believe, trying to use these words to numb their inner fear.

Quickly turning into the Cesuo, the two squatted down, hands trembling as they groped the floor, frantically lifting a loose tile, revealing a section of pitch-black hole winding downward.

The female Doctor and assistant, nerves taut, focused entirely squatting before the hole, gazing at each other, nodding.

Afterwards, they went one after the other, without hesitation jumping into that pitch-black cave.

Their attention was completely focused on themselves, utterly unaware that inside the innermost stall of the restroom, a man was standing soundlessly.

The man stood there motionless like a wax figure, his whole body exuding a cold and sinister aura.

If anyone could see this scene right now, they would surely be terrified out of their wits.

The man's cheeks were twisting and deforming in a strange manner, as if the bones beneath his skin and flesh were silently reshaping themselves.

His facial skin kept undulating and wriggling; at first, his zygomatic bones gradually rose, as if pushed up from within by an invisible hand, then his lower jaw began to contract, becoming sharp and narrow.

His nasal bone was like kneaded clay, remolded into another shape, sometimes high and straight, sometimes sunken, until it finally set into form.

The most terrifying thing was his eyes—the eye sockets were sunken, the outlines of the eye sockets kept changing, and the position of the eyeballs shifted accordingly, as if searching for the most suitable place to freeze.

The entire process made not a sound, only a silent film of flesh and bones wriggling.

Finally, when everything stopped, the man's face had completely become another appearance, except for the two pairs of magatama within his pupils, which, just as at first, were spinning evilly.

"In the women's restroom, one can hear many secrets—indeed, it is not false, hehe—"

The man heard the sounds of two heavy objects falling outside the door, and the corner of his mouth curled into a dangerous arc full of meaning.
