"Which Sadako are you talking about?" The woman in the kimono on the screen spoke with trembling lips. She knew of a famous Sadako, but this wasn't her; it was just a coincidence of names. Just a moment ago, Sun Qi didn't care who she was, but now he wanted to ask.

She didn't want Sun Qi to die without knowing her true identity.

"It doesn't matter which one it is, you are the one in front of me, and you are the one in my heart."

Sun Qi closed his eyes, tilted his head back, and held his phone in his hand. His arm slowly lost strength, and the phone moved closer and closer. Finally, the phone rested on his shoulder. He squinted, continuing to look at the blue sky. The light was somewhat dazzling, and slowly, he closed his eyes again. "I'm sleepy. I'm going to sleep for a while," he said softly.

"I'm much older than you, do you love me?"

"I'm only seven or eight years older. I'm precocious, you know. Even a poor wretch like me is precocious... I'm tired. I need to sleep for a while. I've been cultivating like crazy lately, and it's really exhausting..." Sun Qi really closed his eyes.

"Aren't you afraid I'll kill you while you're asleep?"

"Kill me if you want. My last wishes are for the principal's autograph and for you to be by my side... I'm so sleepy... I'm tired."

As he spoke, Sun Qi actually fell asleep.

Fang Zong and Hu Batian watched Sun Qi fall asleep, and they also saw a pale hand emerge from Sun Qi's phone screen. Sadako's hand brushed across Sun Qi's neck, trembled twice, and landed on Sun Qi's face. Sadako didn't dare to touch Sun Qi's face, as if afraid of waking him up, and just left it there.

"interesting."

Fang Zong spoke with a smile, issuing an order to cut off all external signal transmission from Dragon Valley. Ghosts, to put it simply, are energy entities. Some special ghosts can use signals to quickly reach every place where signals can be transmitted. Cutting off the signal meant cutting off Sadako's escape route.

He wasn't in a hurry. He turned his head and noticed that Bai Baixue unconsciously showed a hint of disappointment when she saw that Zhenzi hadn't killed Sun Qi.

"Are you disappointed that Sun Qi didn't die?" Fang Zong couldn't help but ask. He wouldn't let anyone hurt his student and was very concerned about Bai Baixue's expression.

Bai Baixue shook her head: "I want Sun Qi to die, don't ask why."

"Why?"

"I already told you not to ask!"

"It's alright, I'll just ask the ghost."

Fang Zong reached out directly, his True Yang Fire burning through Hu Batian's demonic energy barrier, and with one hand, he fiercely grabbed Sadako's hand that was sticking out from under the phone.

Before he could even use his power, Sadako's hand suddenly shattered, turning into something like signal waves. Immediately afterward, black smoke billowed from Sun Qi's phone, and the gloomy ghostly energy fled rapidly into the sky along the wireless signal.

"Bang!" The signal had long been blocked. After flying more than 300 meters, Sadako returned to her original form and crashed back.

She flew directly into the large computer room of Dragon Valley School, followed by Fang Zong's flames, which shattered the walls of the computer room, revealing rows of hundreds of desktop computers inside.

The signal traveled through the local area network between the computers, but there was no trace of Sadako. Fang Zong also knew that Sadako could easily slip through the physical network connection to a personal computer in the teaching building or office building.

This escape method doesn't use wireless signals, so if he loses track of her, he won't be able to find Sadako's true form.

Fang Zong raised his hand and whispered, "Clone." As soon as he finished speaking, the True Yang Fire transformed into another Fang Zong, entering through the computer's interface and closely following Sadako's figure within the computer signal. Surrounded by codes like 1s and 0s, Fang Zong saw another incredibly fascinating world, a world he had utterly destroyed.

"A computer costs over 30,000 yuan, you bastard owe me tens of millions!"

Fang Zong's clone is also an energy body, but it doesn't have Sadako's unique abilities. When it enters the computer, it cannot move freely and instead completely collapses.

Rows of computers exploded with a deafening roar, engulfing the entire server room in flames. "Four times the critical hit," Fang Zong said softly again. His clone raised his palm, which resembled a long sword, extinguishing the flames throughout the server room and blasting Sadako out of the inferno.

"No!" Suddenly, a dark shadow swept Sadako away.

Sun Qi woke up at some point, took Sadako more than a hundred meters away, hesitated for a moment, and then came back.

"Principal, please spare Sadako! I know she's after me—no, I'm not worthy of being their opponent. They want to get rid of you, Principal. But please, spare Sadako! She's just a small pawn in the demons' game." Sun Qi, carrying the heavily injured Sadako, knelt before Fang Zong, head bowed. "Principal..."

Fang Zong reached out his hand, and Lin Qiaoyu appeared beside him with Wu Yongci, handing him a diary that was locked.

"Can I watch?" Fang Zong gestured to Sun Qi, respecting the students' privacy.

"Everything I have was given to me by the principal. If I hadn't been selected to enter Dragon Valley School, I would have died long ago."

Sun Qi did not give a direct answer.

Fang Zong crushed the lock and flipped through Sun Qi's diary. The handwriting was beautiful, clearly the author had put in a lot of effort.

My parents died a long time ago, and I often think of a joke—that my parents died before I was born.

I was born and raised in an orphanage. Because of my short stature, I was bullied there as well. I don't want to continue recording my past, so I've destroyed it all. What remains is just a farewell to the past, a kind of summary...
