Chapter 282: We Must… Save Them Out!

The surrounding scenery kept changing, and the Weightlessness swept in like a tide.

At this moment time seemed frozen, Ruan Ziliang watched the face growing farther away, his heart like ash.

He never could have imagined that the person he trusted most would push him at this moment.

Below him lay an endless abyss.

Bang!

With a muffled thud, Ruan Ziliang crashed heavily to the ground, blood spraying sideways.

A hoarse whimper escaped his mouth, he struggled to raise his hand as if to grasp something, but finally his strength gave out and he let go.

From a height of sixteen meters, he fell, landing on his back.

Unless one has a copper head and iron bones, death is almost certain.

The moment he was about to gasp his last, a gale suddenly rose.

The terrifying dark wind swept over the whole back mountain like a massive wave sifting sand.

The trees rustled, and the temperature dropped sharply.

On this sweltering summer night, everyone felt a hint of chill.

Yet in that instant, Tang Hui halted his action, a ferocious grin appearing on his face,

"Activate Eternal Night, none of you will think of leaving alive!"

Speaking that, he turned, rushed to the edge of the roof, and leapt down without hesitation.

This move left everyone stunned, and they hurried to investigate.

They saw that Tang Hui, unlike the first two, did not fall to death; his body strangely sank into the earth.

Completely vanished.

"He ran?" Lai Siyiao's face showed solemnity.

Indeed, the pressure Tang Hui exerted on her was scarier than that of any previous player.

If such an opponent is not eliminated in time, it will only make the treasure hunter's situation increasingly difficult.

Now, after finally getting a many‑vs‑one chance, they hadn't expected Tang Hui to have another trick up his sleeve.

Thus, as long as one possesses 'Earth‑Diving', wouldn't they remain invincible?

How did Qin Weiyang kill back then?

At that thought, several people couldn't help turning their gaze toward her.

"How should we kill this guy?" Li Zhangge asked.

"We can only stall, stall until Earth‑Diving ends," Qin Weiyang explained.

The method, though simple and brute, also relates to spatial range.

At that time she and Tang Hui were trapped in a small space, with no way for the other to retreat.

They could only forcefully hide underground.

And Qin Weiyang could suspend in the air, which was a natural counter.

Heavenly timing, advantageous terrain, and harmonious people together enable one to defeat the enemy.

Therefore, luck accounts for the majority.

Thus Tang Hui was unwilling to accept defeat; he wanted to strive to prove he was no worse than anyone.

He also didn't want to die again.

Su Yang turned and looked toward the dormitory building ablaze with Fire.

Under the sweeping dark wind, the flames grew ever stronger.

Even with water guns suppressing, the rising flames were hard to conceal.

"Eternal Night has been activated..."

The next moment, a grim wail suddenly echoed in the air.

One by one, phantom white Silhouettes emerged from the ground, marching toward the crowded area.

These were students who had perished in the sea of Fire; their features were blurry, but one could vaguely see the old school uniforms in the Phantoms.

"Hundred Ghosts... Nightwalker?" Li Zhangge's complexion changed.

He suddenly recalled that strange legend.

It is said that during Eternal Night, students wrongfully killed a hundred years ago will appear.

Slaughter everyone!

Now Su Yang pre‑emptively activated Eternal Night, catching everyone off guard with a mass killing.

That means those who escaped the sea of Fire are once again in peril.

They have no way to retreat!

"Ghost!"

"Don't... don't come!"

Watching the dead souls approach, several students kept screaming, rolling and crawling away.

One cry was answered by many; the rest also retreated in panic, fearing to be tainted by ill omen.

However at that moment, a teacher shouted, "Everyone stay calm, they mean no harm!"

No one heeded the words; the scene descended into chaos, even a stampede erupted.

Just as people kept their distance, clearing the main entrance,

a strange sight suddenly appeared—

The dead souls moved slowly toward the crowd; the imagined wrath soaring to the heavens never materialized.

On the contrary, they actually walked toward the fiercest part of the flames.

"What are they…" Lai Siyao's eyes widened, and a startling thought instantly surfaced in her Brain.

Not only the four of them, but even the students of 'Survivors After the Catastrophe' were stunned in place.

They originally thought a bloodshed would occur, after all the Eternal Night legend is deeply rooted, known by everyone.

Many seniors on the forum attested that they personally witnessed, during the Eternal Night, the students wandering outside were all killed.

In response, some even released gory photos as proof.

Over time, people grew extremely wary of the Eternal Night.

Now, they Sight a scene unforgettable in this life, completely shattering Cognition.

One by one, the wandering souls formed a long line, from the entrance area straight to the depths of the Fire.

They are like fearless moths, relying on tenacious will to wrest seconds from the Grim Reaper.

"They are the school's hope; the hope of the future…"

"Save all the classmates… out."

"Save people…"

"Save people……"

The murmuring words made the students' faces change, and they were startled.

A long dragon-like queue, like a conveyor belt, appeared, with the foremost wandering soul hoisting the student in the Fire above its head.

Quickly passing the person out.

One after another, the movements were gentle.

Fifth floor…

Fourth floor…

……

First floor…

Until it was passed to the entrance, then carefully laid flat on the ground.

The injured's face was covered with black marks, injuries were minor, only knocked unconscious by the thick smoke.

Sight this, the teacher who had been shouting earlier hurriedly said: "Quick, save people!"

When these words were spoken, the firefighters wiped away Corner of Eye Tears, and immediately launched rescue operations.

The previously terrified students at this moment set aside prejudice, and hurriedly joined the rescue team.

They did their best, placing the wounded in an open area.

Soon, one after another, human silhouettes were sent out.

Some were severely injured, wailing incessantly.

Some had already turned to charcoal; such a tragic sight made everyone shed Tears.

"Save people…"

"We must definitely save them, out…"

When the murmuring words were spoken, they allowed this group of students spanning a century to personally witness the true meaning of the Hundred Ghost Night Parade.

They met after a century apart, with no prejudice in their eyes.

Thinking of these poor students trapped in the teaching building, burned alive.

Their hearts overflowed with endless sorrow.

Because they have been rained upon, they now wish to hold an umbrella for others.

Wasn't the ghost's former self once a kind person?

Soon, with their help, all the students and teachers in the dormitory building were evacuated.

The casualties exceeded thirty.

This fire was identical to that a hundred years ago, not a coincidence.

"We all misunderstood……" Su Yang whispered.

"Hmm……" Qin Weiyang's Divine expression was complex as they slowly nodded.

Eternal Night is not slaughter, but redemption.

Because of a deliberate conspiracy, this group of innocent, pitiful students had been misunderstood for a hundred years.

They have never been evil spirits.

Their hearts still retain the pure kindness they had in life.

Precisely because they have witnessed the cruelty of human disaster, they do not want later generations to follow in its footsteps.

Upon reaching this thought, Su Yang's mind gained a few insights,

"I roughly guess...

... the direction to obtain the Hidden Achievement."
