Chapter 243: Imaginary Enemy! A Shocking Secret from a Hundred Years Ago!

"He..." Lai Siyao imagined the scene and immediately covered her eyes.

But she still couldn't help but open a slit to look out.

He wouldn't be planning to...

Thinking of that "panicked" scene, her heart pounded.

However, Su Yang only made a gesture of wanting to take them off before pulling his pants back up.

"Delayed by something on the way. Have you been waiting long?"

Lai Siyao was both a little disappointed and a little relieved.

She looked down at her watch and feigned dissatisfaction: "You're ten seconds late."

"Fine, I'll spend ten seconds alone with you later as compensation," Su Yang said.

Lai Siyao:?

It was the first time she had heard such a "refined and unconventional" way to make up for being late.

Su Yang looked at the two standing close together and asked: "Have you two met?"

"Yes, her name is Lai Siyao, Class 2 of Grade 2."

Grade 2?

Su Yang frowned.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Lai Siyao asked curiously.

"The problem is huge. Xin Yao and I both came up from junior high, making it easy to rule out the possibility of being recognized early."

"And you belong to the transfer students; the people above can see the clues with a little investigation," Su Yang explained.

"If they know, they know. Anyway, you've already been exposed," Lai Siyao said with an indifferent face.

"I mean—you... have long been targeted." Su Yang said slowly.

You... all?

Before Qin Weiyang could figure out the situation, she heard Su Yang shout toward the tree beside him: "Come out, stop hiding."

The three looked over in unison and saw a figure gradually emerging from behind the tree that had been empty just a moment ago.

"You were able to see through this; worthy of being ranked first on the prison's individual points leaderboard."

The newcomer had a smile on his lips, and a flicker of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"You know him?" Lai Siyao was shocked.

The gold content of being first in individual points needed no explanation; she knew deeply how difficult it was to reach that height.

Especially after experiencing multiple death games, she was even clearer about the difficulty.

She never expected that the extraordinarily handsome young man in front of her was the existence mentioned most often in the prison—

Su Yang!

"Heard it many times from a neighbor. He told me to be extra careful when I meet him," the man said.

As he spoke, he pulled open his clothes, revealing a snake-shaped tattoo and the gauze on his ribs.

Bloodstains still remained on it; it wasn't hard to see the level of bandaging and the freshness of the wound.

"Your neighbor is Tang Youning?" Su Yang's mind immediately conjured up a face.

"He described your features, height, and build in great detail, and even used a pen to draw your appearance so I would remember it," the man said bluntly.

For that man obsessed with art, sketching wasn't a difficult task.

It was just unexpected that he would treat himself as an imaginary enemy, even going so far as to warn his neighbors.

"Are you really Su Yang?" Lai Siyao reached out and pinched his arm in disbelief.

She found it harder than she had imagined.

"The real deal," Su Yang nodded slightly.

"You're really amazing..." Lai Siyao had to admire him, her eyes shining with brilliant light.

Qin Weiyang felt an inexplicable feeling in her heart when she saw her reaction and turned to give Su Yang a look that he should understand himself.

As if saying, how are you like a walking hormone, acting in heat everywhere.

"Class 6 of Grade 3—Xue Yong," the "Invisible Man" said.

After speaking, he took a folding knife that still had bloodstains from his pocket. "Return it to you."

Su Yang reached out to take it, played with it for a while, and said slowly: "Don't you want to stab back?"

"I really want to, but we are currently facing a dilemma," Xue Yong said frankly.

"Tell me about it."

"From the intelligence I've gathered, the ghost story is related to the treasure. On the surface, it seems that one only needs to solve all the ghost stories to clear the level."

"But I heard classmates in the class inadvertently mention that tomorrow is the night of the full moon, also known as 'Eternal Night'!" Xue Yong said in a deep voice.

"So?"

"During the Eternal Night, a hundred ghosts walk at night, and the ghost stories will also appear actively, slaughtering all living things in the school," Xue Yong explained.

Tomorrow...

Su Yang felt that the time node was a bit too close.

"How did those students who experienced the 'Eternal Night' deal with it in the past?" Su Yang asked.

"The dormitory building is a safe zone. That night's self-study will end earlier. As long as you go back before ten o'clock, you can avoid it."

"Every living thing has to hide?" Su Yang captured the key point.

"Yes, every one!"

"That's just great..." Su Yang curled his lips.

"Why?" Qin Weiyang didn't understand.

"This way, there won't be security guards guarding around the auditorium, and the people in the dark must show their faces if they want to get the treasure," Su Yang said.

Xue Yong nodded in agreement, "But we will also face the dilemma of being checked in our dorms, because once we pass this time point, we can't go back."

As soon as these words were spoken, the few fell silent.

Midnight is the best time to search for treasure, but it also faces huge risks.

They couldn't sneak into the auditorium guarded by many security guards when the grade director was patrolling the halls at any time.

The only time they could utilize was the night.

"It's very simple. Isn't it enough to get the treasure and clear the level before getting a demerit?" Su Yang said softly.

"You're sure?" Xue Yong was shocked.

"I wouldn't speak so confidently without absolute certainty, but we can only do this, and we must do this," Su Yang said.

On the surface, they have five days.

But as time goes on, the Guardians will only become more proficient with power, and the treasure hunters will also find it difficult to move.

Moreover, they couldn't waste a day hiding in the dormitory sleeping.

The risk is indeed great, but the opportunity is greater.

"You found me, not just to share information, right?" Su Yang asked.

"Of course, but before that, let me see the 'trophy' you got last night," Xue Yong said.

Su Yang smiled when he heard this, exactly as he had guessed.

He then signaled with his eyes, and Qin Weiyang understood and took out the box.

Xue Yong took it and opened it, seeing the half-silver key lying inside.

"What an exquisite key..." Lai Siyao's eyes lit up.

"Where is the other half?" Xue Yong raised his eyes.

Su Yang originally wanted to use an excuse to stall, but after seeing Tang Hui's "ambiguous" attitude, he changed his mind.

He then took it out of his pocket and shook it. "Here."

Xue Yong subconsciously wanted to take it, but was held back by Su Yang.

The latter smiled and said: "What? Senior Xue Yong wants to grab it?"

Xue Yong realized his action was a bit abrupt and handed the box back. "Since we have seized the initiative, I won't hide anything either."

He naturally used the word "we," and the meaning was self-evident.

"Remember the big fire that burned down the teaching building?" Xue Yong asked.

Su Yang thought for a moment, recalling the words of the head teacher Liu Bo when visiting the school.

"There's a problem here?"

"As everyone knows, an earthquake occurred in Luoshui City a hundred years ago, and that natural disaster destroyed the school in one fell swoop."

"But a month before that, a big fire burned most of the teachers and students to death," Xue Yong said in a deep voice.

What?!

Su Yang's pupils condensed slightly. "It wasn't just the teaching building that burned?"

"This secret is rarely mentioned. I also heard it from a classmate in the class whose ancestors once taught at this school."

"That fire appeared on a rainy night, and the time point was at the beginning of the 'Dark Night'."

"Clearly the entrances and exits were unobstructed and no stampede occurred, but only a very small number of people escaped."

"And what's more coincidental is..."

Xue Yong looked at the horrified expressions of the three and said solemnly:

"That day happened to be the third day of school—"
