Chapter 14
The morning reading session passed quickly in the tense atmosphere of Teacher Wang checking homework. Gu Qingming was still struggling over whether to sleep or eat breakfast during the short ten-minute break. In the originally quiet classroom, a strange change suddenly occurred.
The two boys sitting in the back row who always liked to make fun of others were just laughing at each other, but for some reason, they froze in place.
Then, without any warning, he fell onto a table and chair beside him.
“Crash!”
There was a heavy sound as the table was knocked over by the body, and bookends with test papers, textbooks, and exercise books were scattered all over the floor. The wooden bench was knocked over by inertia and hit the ground with a dull sound.
The flying pieces of paper slowly fell down, and the two boys' bodies blocked the aisle tightly.
At that moment, the classroom was eerily quiet, without a single sound.
"What's going on?"
Zhou Xiao, the class monitor, changed her usual sweet and lovely appearance and walked over with a serious face to check if the two people were hit by the table. After getting a negative answer, she gently patted the shoulder of the girl sitting next to her who was frightened and screamed, as if to comfort her.
Before the girl could speak, Zhou Xiao winked at Luo Dong who was collecting registration forms for the new class.
Luo Dong understood. He stood up and quickly walked out of the classroom door while shouting "Excuse me, excuse me--" in a frivolous tone in the chaos. Relying on his usual casual and arrogant manner, no one dared to block his way, and he ran towards the teacher's office at the end of the corridor.
"Just now, the two of them were talking normally, but one of them suddenly closed his eyes, and then he grabbed the other's shoulder and fell down together."
The frightened petite girl took a deep breath and quickly organized her words, although they were still a little confusing.
"Wait, Lao Gu, why do I feel something is wrong——"
The two boys fell straight in the aisle on Chu Zhongyuan's side. Chu Zhongyuan's pupils shrank when he saw the faces of the two men. He saw black, smoke-like paper figures attached to their chests. The grins in the gaps seemed to mock Chu Zhongyuan and Gu Qingming's stupidity.
The hands of the paper man were slightly lifted by the wind, and then the arm muscles of the two unconscious boys trembled slightly, which was a sign of exerting force.
Gu Qingming looked serious and raised his head quickly. He supported himself on the table at the back and without having time to ask Chu Zhongyuan to move aside, he flipped out and stood in front of a classmate, blocking a punch from a boy who suddenly jumped up unconsciously with his hands.
The two boys who behaved strangely were named Li Zhiwei and Lin Ze. They were both frequent visitors to the back row who liked to play pranks. They also followed Chu Zhongyuan in making trouble many times last night. They were taller than Gu Qingming. When Chu Zhongyuan saw that Lin Ze's punch almost hit Gu Qingming hard, he was so scared that he almost used his special powers to rush over to help.
But he didn't expect that Gu Qingming could block Lin Ze's seemingly fierce attack so lightly.
"Lin Ze? Lin Ze! Are you still conscious?"
Gu Qingming went around behind Lin Ze and pressed his shoulders, trying to control his arms, but the other person's body dodged like a loach, incredibly soft.
That is not the flexibility that a high school boy over 1.8 meters tall should have.
Crazy classmates... Is it the same situation as the seniors in the previous senior year?
Gu Qingming watched Lin Ze, who was clearly not yet conscious, twist away from his restraints and run out of the front door in strange movements like a zombie.
"Chu Zhongyuan! Pay attention to Li Zhiwei!"
Gu Qingming hurriedly looked at the other boy who behaved strangely. Chu Zhongyuan also realized that the two people's reactions should be the same, but without the help of his supernatural powers, his movements were obviously not as fast as Gu Qingming. While he turned over the table, Li Zhiwei had already stood up from a pile of messy test papers and textbooks, and staggered towards the back door.
“Oh no!”
Chu Zhongyuan had no time to react. He watched Li Zhiwei rush out of the classroom door and chased after him without even thinking.
Gu Qingming did not hesitate. Although others could not see the black paper figures behind the two of them, they could see them clearly.
"Don't just stand there! I'm going to find the head teacher, you go find any teacher on this floor, and you go to the security department!"
Zhou Xiao frowned and directly selected two students from the crowd that was silent and frozen in place and gave them the task.
Faced with such a horrifying situation, the students in Class 15, who were ordinary high school students, froze in place for a moment. Zhou Xiao knew that he had to name two students in this situation, otherwise no one would come to their senses after the extreme shock and think that it was a task they had to do.
Watching the two classmates rushing out of the classroom stiffly but without hesitation, Zhou Xiao prayed in his heart that the new transfer student Gu Qingming and the grade legend could stop the two crazy guys, while running towards the grade office.
On the other side, Gu Qingming and Chu Zhongyuan, who were running after the two boys, bumped into Luo Dong who was rushing over from the opposite office building.
"This is a black...paper man?!"
Luo Dong was startled for a moment when he finally saw the two abnormal students clearly, but quickly came to his senses and caught up with Gu Qingming.
"It's too dangerous here, Luo Dong—"
Gu Qingming turned around and was shocked to see Luo Dong catching up with him. He was about to persuade him to go back. After all, the two classmates had become some kind of monsters due to the manipulation of the paper man. They were extremely powerful, crazy and uncontrollable. But Luo Dong shook his head and stopped him with just one move.
"Who are you looking down on? Gu Qingming!"
The boy, who had a pair of blue eyes because of his mixed blood, stretched out his hand while running forward, and said indignantly. A feather-like white light appeared in his hand, gentle but firm.
"you……"
Gu Qingming spoke out of turn.
"I'm telling you, don't stop me. In this situation, let's wait until we're somewhere where there's no one. Maybe I'll be more capable of stopping them than you are."
Luo Dong held the glorious feather in his palm with his backhand, his brows and eyes showing a hint of coldness.
"I'm a member of the student council of this school. How can I just ignore a fellow student who is out of control?"
Gu Qingming nodded in agreement when he heard this. After he knew Luo Dong's choice, he no longer tried to stop him. He just gritted his teeth and tried his best to increase his speed again.
Although there are not many people on campus now because of the morning reading get out of class, there are still groups of students walking on the road for various matters, and their running caught my eye.
The three of them were restricted by these sights and could not use their supernatural powers openly.
"By the way, Gu Qingming... It's strange that the teacher in the temporary duty office was not there, so I notified the teacher of the next class and went to the office building again, but I didn't expect that Director Zhang was not there either."
Luo Dong followed Gu Qingming's footsteps and explained seriously.
"Director Zhang isn't here either..."
Chu Zhongyuan was speechless. He didn't even have time to be surprised why his little deskmate knew Luo Dong, the famous rich second-generation young master in the student union.
You know, Zhang Yiwei always handles affairs in the grade office during morning reading, and there has never been an exception. Why did he choose this time...
Lin Ze and Li Zhiwei in front continued to run forward at a terrifying speed. The two boys who usually worked themselves to death during exercises were now running faster than the sports meet champion. They ran past the office building, the first-grade Huizhi Building, and the third-grade Huiti Building.
The three of them followed closely behind, and when they passed Huiti Building, Gu Qingming suddenly realized the real destination of the two classmates who were controlled by the paper men.
"They're going to the --old dormitory building--!"
After passing Huiti Building, there was a sparsely populated alley leading to the South Gate. Luo Dong and Chu Zhongyuan both reacted and shouted out loud.
The South Gate was deserted during the peak hours of school hours, and at this time there was no one to be seen. If they went any further, the two students would dive into the old dormitory building, so they couldn't wait any longer.
A green wind blew up under Gu Qingming's feet, and spots of light like a tide appeared behind Chu Zhongyuan. Luo Dong put his hands together in a cross-legged posture, and a white feather-like light flickered behind him.
Time seemed to slow down at this moment. As the clock ticked by, a second passed. Gu Qingming and Chu Zhongyuan, who were faster, had rushed over and controlled Lin Ze and Li Zhiwei's shoulders on the left and right.
Gu Qingming was surrounded by a strong wind. His speed was several times faster than in the classroom. He locked Lin Ze's arms tightly and tried to hold him down.
Gu Qingming relied on his skills, while Chu Zhongyuan relied entirely on his stature, which was comparable to Li Zhiwei's. He pressed his whole body forward and locked Li Zhiwei's limbs with his limbs.
However, the two boys controlled by the paper man had obviously become several times stronger than before. They tried their best to attack their classmates at all costs, and still stubbornly crawled towards the direction of the old dormitory building not far away, as if they were summoned by something.
The other party had no scruples, but Gu Qingming and Chu Zhongyuan did not dare to hurt their classmates and were restricted.
For a time, the balance of the battle between the two sides tilted obviously.
"Gu Qingming, control Lin Ze. It only takes a moment. It only takes a moment."
Luo Dong took a deep breath, pointed his finger at the entangled Gu Qingming and Lin Ze and shouted.
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingming locked onto Lin Ze's body tightly, pushing his knees downward to press down on the opponent's calves.
Luo Dong narrowed one eye, as if he was aiming, but at the same time, a white light gathered between his fingers. With the residual vision after the battle, Gu Qingming clearly saw that at the moment when the white light condensed, a translucent figure flashed past Luo Dong's back.
"Bang!"
A white light bullet shot out from between Luo Dong's fingers. The "recoil" caused the young man to lean back slightly, but the light did hit Lin Ze's body solidly.
Gu Qingming felt the pressure of the struggle beneath him suddenly eased, and Lin Ze fell towards the concrete brick alley with a ferocious expression, completely losing consciousness.
“Chu Zhongyuan!”
Luo Dong shouted, and seeing this, Chu Zhongyuan hurriedly pulled Li Zhiwei's shoulders and turned over on the concrete floor, turning Li Zhiwei, who was originally pressed underneath, over to make it easier for Luo Dong to perform.
The moment Li Zhiwei was moved to the upper position, the white light from Luo Dong's fingers had already shot out.
The light hit Li Zhiwei. He struggled for a moment and soon followed Lin Ze's footsteps.
Two 1.80-meter-tall young men fell straight on the concrete floor of the campus avenue, making the whole picture look a little weird, like the crime scene of some crime.
"Hoo-hoo-awesome."
Chu Zhongyuan gave Luo Dong a thumbs up. After the close combat, his mind was still in a mess and he had no time to think about why the discipline committee member Luo Dong also had such special abilities.
"Finally, we finally got them under control. It was so hard to deal with them—"
Luo Dong shook his fingertips which were a little painful due to the recoil, and the white feathers around his body slowly faded away, as if they had never existed.
Gu Qingming and Chu Zhongyuan tried to carry the two boys on their backs. Luo Dong hesitated for a moment, then hurried over to help. The two boys, who were feeling a little sore all over, noticed that, seemingly because of Luo Dong's special ability, the shadows of the paper figures on their bodies had become dim and were tightly locked by white silk threads.
It seems that Luo Dong's special ability has a certain inhibitory effect on this kind of thing.
Gu Qingming had just breathed a sigh of relief when he suddenly felt something was wrong.
"Chu Zhongyuan, Luo Dong... did you feel... that the sky suddenly became dark?"
Gu Qingming looked at the slightly dim color in front of him, and his voice trembled a little.
