“Indeed.”

Looking at the burnt window in front of him, Fang Zheng curled his lips. He just discovered that all the windows facing the outside of this "copy" could not be opened, but was this a problem for Fang Zheng?

Naturally, it was set on fire.

Then... as expected, I received a system warning again.

"Tsk... this is really troublesome..."

Scratching his hair, Fang Zheng was speechless. He had no interest in "clearing" this dungeon. After all, this was a terrifying dungeon. Who knew how long anyone could survive here? Of course, if Fang Zheng had to choose, he would definitely choose to flip the table. After all, this dungeon was not something he wanted to play on his own initiative, right?

But the problem was that Fang Zheng could feel that the school he was in was a collection of multiple sealed spaces. It was like a Rubik's Cube made up of several blocks. With Fang Zheng's ability, it would be no problem to smash the Rubik's Cube directly. But the trouble was that the other girls were scattered in various "blocks". If Fang Zheng smashed the entire Rubik's Cube directly, then once the spatial balance was destroyed, it was possible that someone would be directly swept into the spatial turbulence and disappear.

So even if Fang Zheng wanted to destroy the place, he had to wait until he found and gathered everyone.

Anyway, let's find someone first...

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng also walked out of the classroom and continued walking along the corridor.

The entire corridor was in tatters, and many places even had locked doors. Fang Zheng walked and looked, and soon he reached the second floor from the first floor. However, just as he went upstairs, he heard footsteps coming from the corridor. Then, Fang Zheng saw a short-haired woman who looked to be in her early twenties walking towards him from the corridor.

Seeing Fang Zheng, the woman showed an expression of obvious surprise.

“You… who are you?”

"It seems that you are also trapped here?"

Fang Zheng looked at the woman in front of him curiously, and she nodded.

"Yes, my name is Shishido Yui, and I'm a teacher at Kisaragi Academy. You are..."

"I'm Kasugano from Sakano Academy, and I'm looking for my companions... May I ask if you have seen any girls? They are about my age..."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng described the characteristics of Qiong and several others in detail. However, after listening to his description, Shishido Yui shook her head apologetically.

"I'm sorry, I haven't seen the girls you mentioned, but two of my students are currently taking shelter in the classroom over there. If you can, you can go with them. If I see the children you mentioned, I will bring them over as well."

"What about you, teacher?"

Hearing this, Fang Zheng looked up and down at the woman in front of him, and when she heard Fang Zheng's question, Shishido Yui smiled.

"I'm going to look for my students... They are also trapped in this place. Although they don't know how to leave yet, I think as long as everyone works together, there should be a way."

"In that case, let's go together."

Fang Zheng gave an answer quickly.

"Teacher, after all, your power is limited. Two people can at least take care of you, right?"

However, faced with Fang Zheng's proposal, Shishido Yui shook her head.

"No, Kasugano-kun, you are still a student. And I am a teacher, and a teacher cannot put students in danger!"

Tsk tsk tsk…

Looking at the righteous female teacher in front of him, Fang Zheng couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Based on the current situation and these words, it should be a foregone conclusion that this teacher would be selected as one of the top ten people who moved Japan. However...

"That might be true under normal circumstances, but this is not an ordinary situation, Mr. Shishido."

Fang Zheng pointed around.

"You should have noticed that this is not an ordinary disaster. There might be some evil spirits or monsters inside. If they want to attack, they won't care whether you are a teacher or the president. Also, since you said that you have students here, you should ensure your own safety. Otherwise, if something happens to you, what will happen to your students?"

“…”

This time, Shishido Yui did not answer. She frowned, as if she was thinking, or as if she was hesitating. Finally, she seemed to have made up her mind and looked at Fang Zheng.

"Then... I'll leave it to you, Kasugano-kun."

"It's nothing. We should help each other when we are in trouble."

Fang Zheng waved his hand, and then continued to walk deeper into the corridor with Shishido Yui.

As they walked, the two began to share information with each other, and Fang Zheng also learned from Shishido Yui that they came to this mysterious place through a suicide ritual...

Hmm... In other words, this group of students and teachers who are seeking their own death are actually the "protagonists" of this copy, and I and the others are just the incidental ones who were dragged into it?

The two of them walked and checked the situation along the way, and naturally saw what had happened in the Tenjin Elementary School. The newspapers posted here recorded the news that a teacher at Tenjin Elementary School used scissors to cut off the tongue of a missing child. Although the record could not be fully viewed due to incomplete newspapers, just the part that was seen was enough to make people feel shocking.

“That’s too much…”

Looking at the tattered newspapers pasted on the wall, Shishido Yui couldn't help but sigh.

"Although I have heard of this incident before, I didn't expect it to be so cruel..."

However, Fang Zheng's focus is obviously not here.

"So, thirty years ago, there was a case of a series of children disappearing at Tenjin Elementary School, and then they were found to be murdered. Then Tenjin Elementary School was closed and then razed to the ground... Then the Tenjin Elementary School we are in now should have something to do with this incident thirty years ago..."

"Kasugano-kun, you seem to be very calm."

"After all, I have experienced similar situations more than once or twice."

Fang Zheng shrugged helplessly.

"But this is the first time that other people are involved. I just want to find them as soon as possible and get away... As for this school itself... Although it is pitiful, the dead are gone, and the living must continue to live their lives. The suffering they suffered in the past is not a reason for them to do whatever they want and catch others to play tag."

"……well……"

After hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Shishido Yui didn't know what to say, and could only sigh helplessly. She also admitted that what Fang Zheng said was right. However, as a teacher and a woman, she still found it a little unacceptable emotionally.

However, at this moment, suddenly, a voice came from not far ahead. Hearing this voice, Shishido Yui suddenly perked up.

"This is... Suzumoto-san's voice!!"

As she spoke, Shishido Yui ran quickly to the health room not far ahead, and then she pushed open the door.

"Suzumoto-kun!"

The moment he saw the situation in the health room, Mr. Shishido's expression suddenly became frightened and stiff.

In the health room, her student Suzumoto Kan was sitting on a chair, chatting with two children in front of her. If it were anywhere else, it would probably be a warm scene. But now it was completely different - one of the two children sitting in front of Suzumoto Kan had lost his left eye, and the other had completely lost the upper half of his head, leaving only his gums and tongue.

Obviously, they are not alive.

Any normal person would be terrified seeing this scene, and Teacher Shishido was no exception. However, even so, she rushed into the health room.

"Suzumoto-san!!"

"Ah, Teacher Yui."

Seeing Shishido Yui, Suzumoto Mayu smiled very happily, then she turned around again and looked at the two children.

"Look, this is my favorite teacher Yui. I like my teacher as much as you do..."

"Suzumoto-san! Get away from those two kids right now!"

At this moment, Shishido Yui also came to Suzumoto Mayu's side, but the other party seemed to turn a deaf ear to her words.

"It's okay, teacher, these two children are good kids... They are very pitiful..."

"Of course I know that, but..."

After hearing Suzumoto Kan's answer, Shishido Yui didn't know what to say for a moment. However, at this moment, Fang Zheng reached out and pressed her shoulder.

"Leave this to me first."

"Kasugano-kun?"

Seeing Fang Zheng suddenly appear, Shishido Yui was also a little dazed. Fang Zheng nodded to her and then looked at the two ghosts.

"I think you should understand my power. Considering your miserable experiences in your previous life, I can give you a chance. We can make a deal. I can help you fulfill your wish and make you a Buddha. But I hope you can help me release all the people trapped here."

“…”

After hearing Fang Zheng's words, the two ghosts did not answer, but unexpectedly, Ling Benjian stood up at this time.

"No, I won't go back, I want to stay here..."

"Suzumoto-san?"

Shishido Yui was also surprised by Suzumoto Mayu's answer.

"No, we need to leave here and return to everyone. Morishige-san must be worried about you..."

"Brother Fan?"

Hearing this name, Ling Benjian seemed to finally regain some clarity. However, at this moment, the two ghosts suddenly stood up, and then a strong spiritual energy suddenly burst out and blew towards Fang Zheng and Shishido Yui!

To Fang Zheng, this little bit of spiritual energy was just a breeze, but Shishido Yui obviously didn't expect that the other party actually had such means. She screamed and flew backwards, falling heavily to the ground.

"teacher!!"

Seeing this, Ling Ben Jian also wanted to rush over. But at this moment, the two ghosts reached out, grabbed Ling Ben Jian's legs, and hung her upside down.

"Wait, what are you going to do?!"

Suzumoto Kan obviously did not expect that the two ghosts would treat her like this. However, in response to Suzumoto Kan's questions, the two ghosts did not say a word and directly pulled Suzumoto Kan out of the infirmary!

And at this moment, Fang Zheng took action.

"I know that naughty kids will tear down the roof if they are not punished for three days."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng snapped his fingers, and then a blazing fire suddenly emerged from Fang Zheng's fingertips, transforming into a fire snake that pounced towards the two ghosts. Seeing the flying fire, the two ghosts were also quite frightened. Perhaps they didn't know what it was, but they could feel that this was a terrifying existence that could completely destroy them!

"ah--!!"

With screams, the two ghosts let go of Ling Ben Jian, quickly left the infirmary, and disappeared into the corridor. Ling Ben Jian, who fell from the air, screamed, and was then hugged by Fang Zheng.

"Are you okay?"

"Ah...thank you, thank you..."

It was not until the two ghosts left that Ling Benjian finally regained consciousness. She looked at Fang Zheng with a slightly red face, then lowered her head in embarrassment. However, Fang Zheng did not say much, but just put Ling Benjian on the ground, then raised his right hand and turned it around. Soon, the fire snake retracted and turned into a small flame between Fang Zheng's fingers and disappeared.

"Kasugano-kun, what are you doing..."

At this moment, Shishido Yui also climbed up. Looking at the scene in front of her, she could hardly believe her eyes. Although Fang Zheng had given her many surprises along the way, Shishido Yui had never expected that the other party actually possessed such power!

"Are you... a psychic?"

"Haha, I only know some basic spells."

Fang Zheng smiled at Shishido Yui, then looked at Suzumoto Mayu.

"Well, Suzumoto-san, I want to ask you if you have seen anyone else. My companions should also be involved in this space."

"Speaking of which..."

Without the interference of the ghost, Suzumoto Kan seemed to wake up.

"By the way, I did meet a girl with white hair who looked a bit like you, wearing a white skirt and holding a black rabbit doll..."

"Qiong?"

Fang Zheng was also cheered up when he heard Ling Benjian's answer.

"Where did she go?"

"This... I don't know..."

Suzumoto Kane thought about it and then shook his head.

"That was not long after I came here. I saw her at another end of the corridor. I called her but she didn't respond. I wanted to chase her, but when I came here, I didn't see the girl anymore. Then I met the two children in the infirmary..."

There is no need to say more about what happened next.

"Is that so..."

Hearing Ling Benjian's answer, Fang Zheng also frowned.

He was sure that Qiong was in this space, but... where was she?

At the same time, in the dark corridor, a petite figure was moving slowly forward.

“Haaaah…haaah…”

Qiong leaned on the corridor next to him, gasping for breath. If someone noticed, they would find that Qiong's face was a little flushed at this moment, and even his eyes became a little blurred.

What is going on?

Feeling the burning heat coming from her body, Qiong couldn't help but squeeze her legs together. Ever since she came to this strange world, she felt that something seemed to be wrong with her body. There was an almost uncontrollable heat slowly emerging from her body, almost burning her dry.

Bro...where are you...?

At this moment, Qiong continued to stumble forward while holding the rabbit in her arms.
