But as soon as he finished speaking, his gaze suddenly went blank, and Zhang Chi did the same. The two of them walked to the car with blank stares, got in, and drove away.

Chu Nian controlled their departure using brainwaves, preventing them from staying any longer. If the aliens discovered them, they might be in danger.

Chu Nian returned to the classroom alone.

After discovering that there were still students in the classroom, Chen Zhao and Lou Qianzong also rushed to the classroom.

Zhao Xiaowei and the others heard a loud rumbling sound accompanied by violent shaking. At first, they thought it was an earthquake and hid under the table. But after the loud noise above their heads, they heard the teacher's voice shouting from the hallway, though none of them could understand what the teacher was saying.

They could only recognize one of the voices as possibly belonging to their chemistry teacher.

Zhao Xiaowei said to the other girls, "It seems the chemistry teacher is outside. Let's go out now."

The girls thought it was an earthquake and panicked a bit. They wanted to leave before the school building completely collapsed, so they all nodded in agreement. The girls crawled out from under the table, but when they looked up, they saw a girl standing on the windowsill—it seemed she had climbed up from outside the window.

Oh my god! This is the third floor!

The girls' faces turned pale instantly.

Chu Nian knew that going up the stairs would mean going through the stairwell, where she would have to face the five aliens. Not wanting to disrupt Chen Zhao and Lou Qianzong's plans, she simply "climbed the window," actually using her light-footed skills to fly up from the first floor. However, she couldn't let Zhao Xiaowei and the others see her "flying," so when she reached the third floor, she climbed onto the window and pretended to "climb."

She climbed through the window into the classroom and questioned Zhao Xiaowei and the others: "Why are you still here? Why aren't you going home after school? What are you wasting time here for?"

Mentioning this, Zhao Xiaowei was extremely annoyed, saying, "How dare you ask us what we're wasting time for? If we hadn't been beaten so badly that we couldn't squeeze past the other students, would we have thought of waiting until everyone else left before we left?" This guy is something else, is he some kind of reptile?

Chu Nian had no idea that she was cursing herself in her heart, and said in surprise, "But almost all the teachers and students in the school have already left."

Zhao Xiaowei looked her up and down and chuckled, "You didn't leave either, you've been waiting at the school gate the whole time!"

Chu Nian suddenly realized and said, "So, you saw that I hadn't left, so you guessed that Lou Qianlin hadn't left either, and thought you might have a chance encounter with him after school, so you've been staying until now?"

Zhao Xiaowei remained noncommittal, only saying with a hint of helplessness, "I never expected to be so unlucky as to have an earthquake."

Seeing that the children mistook the alien war for an earthquake, Chu Nian could only smile helplessly.

Li Lan urged, "The chemistry teacher seems to be outside. Let's hurry out and meet her, then leave together."

Chu Nian hurriedly said, "No, we can't go out now."

Li Lan: "If we don't leave now, what if there's another earthquake and the school building collapses?"

Chu Nian: "It wasn't an earthquake." If we don't tell the truth, these kids might mistake those aliens for teachers and seek refuge with us, which would be troublesome.

Li Lan asked curiously, "If it's not an earthquake, then what is it?"

Zhao Xiaowei said, "Don't say anything more, let's go outside first."

Several girls agreed with her and quickly slung their backpacks over their shoulders, ready to follow her out of the classroom. Chu Nian stopped Zhao Xiaowei, who was leading the group, and said, "We can't go out now."

Suddenly, someone knocked on the classroom door, and at the same time, the chemistry teacher's voice rang out: "Are there any students inside? If not, the door is locked."

Zhao Xiaowei and the others immediately changed their expressions, wanting to reply, but found that their throats felt like they had something stuck in them, and they couldn't make a sound.

"I'm locking the door now that there are no students here!" the chemistry teacher shouted again.

Seeing this, Zhao Xiaowei tried to kick the table leg closest to her to let the teacher know that someone was in the classroom, but Chu Nian reached out and pressed an acupoint on her leg, and she couldn't move her leg.

She looked at Chu Nian in utter terror.

"Shh!" Chu Nian put her hand to her lips, gesturing for her to be quiet.

The chemistry teacher said a few more things they couldn't understand at all, another teacher replied, and then footsteps could be heard, fading into the distance. As for locking the door, the chemistry teacher seemed to have forgotten!

Once they were out of sight, Chu Nian breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to the girls, "They're aliens. They're looking for the students who haven't left yet, and they want to turn us into something like them."

Zhao Xiaowei was stunned when she heard this, but quickly showed a look of disdain.

But they still couldn't speak: Chu Nian had cast a spell to silence them.

Li Lan could only type one sentence on her phone and show it to Chu Nian: "Are you kidding me?"

Not only Zhao Xiaowei, but the other girls also didn't believe it.

Chu Nian kept her voice down as much as possible: "What you thought was an earthquake was actually an internal conflict among the aliens, a fight. The two vice principals have already been killed by the three grade leaders..."

To her, Chen Zhao, and Lou Qianzong's dismay was that although the three grade leaders were currently injured, they were still very strong. Facing them would be a tough fight!

Chen Zhao and Lou Qianzong had actually reached a corner not far from the classroom. Because they had set up a barrier in time, the three aliens couldn't get in until they broke the barrier, so they knocked on the door, wanting Zhao Xiaowei and the others to go out on their own.

However, it wasn't that they lacked the ability to break the barrier; rather, breaking it would take time, and to save trouble, they tried to lure their classmates out on their own.

They hadn't gone far at all; instead, they retrieved the corpses of the two vice-principals. The vice-principals' heads had been blown apart, but their bodies were still usable. The mature bodies of the Lyk aliens had also had their brains enhanced, making them usable to amplify their attack power.

Chu Nian's spiritual sense detected their return and her face turned pale. She gestured for Zhao Xiaowei and the others to crawl under the table.

However, Zhao Xiaowei and the others didn't believe Chu Nian at all and tried to struggle, but then a loud banging on the door started outside. Only then did the girls realize that their teacher might really have malicious intentions towards them.

Zhao Xiaowei also typed a message on her phone, just like Li Lan: "Why can't the teacher come in?"

Chu Nian said, "Chen Zhao and Lou Qianlin knew there were people here, so they set up a barrier outside the classroom, but it won't last long."

After thinking it over, Chu Nian realized that there was no point in silencing or restricting the girls' movements anymore—the three teachers clearly knew there were people there, so Chu Nian stopped casting spells on the girls.

"What?" Zhao Xiaowei blurted out, a little surprised to find she could speak again, but quickly followed up, "Teacher Chen and student Lou Qianlin, they..."

Chu Nian could only say briefly, "They are not ordinary people."
