As Fang Zheng threw a punch, everyone was surprised to see that the empty corridor in front of them suddenly cracked with a "bang". It was as if what was in front of them was not a corridor, but a mirror or glass, which was directly shattered by Fang Zheng's punch!
“Kara!!”
The next moment, the space in front of them suddenly broke apart, and then everyone saw a similar corridor emerging from the other side of the broken crack. However, unlike before, this time they could see a huge monster and two petite figures fighting with the monster.
Seeing these two figures, everyone was shocked.
"Ayumi!"
"Shinohara!"
“Qiyourura!!”
Hearing the shouts of the crowd, Setsuna and Ayumi turned their heads and looked over here. When they saw the scene in front of them, they were also shocked. However, now was obviously not the time for them to be surprised.
"Kiyourura, Shinohara, come here! Quick!"
Fang Zheng stared at the two and gave orders loudly. Upon hearing what Fang Zheng said, Setsuna grabbed Ayumi's hand without hesitation and ran towards Fang Zheng with her. At the same time, behind them, the tall figure holding the weapon turned around and quickly chased after the two.
“Haaaah…haaah…”
This was not easy for the two girls. They had been using their petite bodies and agile movements to deal with the tall monster, which had consumed a lot of their physical strength. Now they needed to rush to Fang Zheng as soon as possible and pass through the space channel, but because they had consumed too much physical strength, they could hardly run anymore.
On the other hand, the tall monster seemed to still be full of energy. It tightly grasped the giant hammer in its hand and followed the two silently. Although its pace was not fast, Setsuna and Ayumi were obviously unable to run anymore. They were almost panting and came to the edge of the space in a mess. However, at this moment, perhaps unable to hold on any longer, Setsuna couldn't help but scream and fell forward.
At the same time, the monster came behind the two of them, raised the giant hammer and smashed it down at them!
"careful!!!"
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but scream. At this moment, Fang Zheng suddenly stepped forward and hugged Setsuna and Ayumi in his arms. Then he swung his right fist forward and hit the hammer swung by the tall monster. With a loud "bang", the two-meter-tall monster flew backwards like a cannonball. Fang Zheng also took the opportunity to hug the two girls and retreated directly.
“Haaaah…haaah…”
Curled up in Fang Zheng's arms, the two girls were also terrified. Just now, they watched the hammer coming down on them, and at that time they had no way to avoid it. They were already in despair...
Fang Zheng led the two girls back silently and looked ahead. At this moment, the space channel that he had blasted open was slowly recovering. Fang Zheng also let go of his hand, but the two girls were still hiding in front of his chest, completely unaware of what had happened to them.
“Ayumi!!”
At this time, Suzumoto Kan, Shishido Yui and others rushed over, and hearing their voices, Ayumi came back to her senses, a little embarrassed to leave Fang Zheng's chest, and then returned to her friends and teachers. At this moment, Setsuna was still holding on to Fang Zheng's clothes tightly, and didn't let go of the chair at all.
"Qingpu, Qingpu?"
"well?"
Fang Zheng called out several times in succession before Shan Shan suddenly came to her senses. She lowered her head and found that she was clutching Fang Zheng's chest tightly. She couldn't help but blush and lowered her head.
“Yes, I’m sorry…”
"It's okay. You're not hurt."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng checked Qingpu Setsuna's body. At least from the outside, he didn't seem to be injured. Qingpu Setsuna also shook his head.
"without……"
"I'm glad you're okay."
Fang Zheng reached out and touched Shantan's head, and now Shantan seemed to have reacted and reluctantly let go of his hand.
"Qingpu, are you okay?"
At this moment, Touma and Setsuna also came over, and when they saw the two of them, Kiyoura Setsuna also showed a relieved expression.
"I'm fine, and it seems you're fine too..."
"Did you see anyone else?"
"No……"
Hearing this question, Setsuna shook his head.
"I don't see the world, and I don't know where the others are..."
"Really..."
Everyone was somewhat disappointed after hearing Setsuna's answer, but soon Fang Zheng clapped his hands, signaling them to cheer up.
"Okay, don't be so depressed, they must be fine. This school is so small, we can look for them one by one, and we will find them eventually."
That's right, the school itself is not actually that big, after all, it's just an elementary school. If it weren't for the multiple space blockades, I'm afraid everyone would have gathered here by now.
Moreover, just now, Fang Zheng also found something interesting, which he just took from the monster. In fact, Fang Zheng didn't know what this thing was used for, but the moment he saw it, Fang Zheng's premonition as a prophecy mage was immediately activated, so Fang Zheng quickly reacted and realized that this thing should be the "key task prop" of this copy.
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng spread out his palms and carefully observed the "trophy" in his hands.
"Kasugano-san, what is this?"
At this moment, the others also gathered around curiously, looking at the thing in Fang Zheng's hand. It was something that looked like an amulet obtained from a shrine, but it was dirty on the outside and had a lot of black spots on it.
"I don't know either. I picked it up when it fell off that monster just now."
"That monster...I said you are really strong."
After hearing Fang Zheng's words, everyone recalled the scene where Fang Zheng had beaten the monster away. They couldn't help but marvel at it, and Huangmao shook his head in disbelief.
"If it were me, I'm afraid the monster wouldn't even move after one punch, but you were able to knock it away..."
Facing the yellow-haired man's exclamation, Fang Zheng also laughed, then reached out and opened the amulet. Then everyone curiously leaned over to take a look, and then...
"ah--!!"
“What the hell is this!!”
“So disgusting!!!”
The group of people immediately scattered, and even Huangmao was so scared that he took several steps back. Because the amulet contained nothing else but a shriveled tongue!
Looking closely, there was actually a name on the amulet bag.
"Guan Naixue..."
Fang Zheng stared at the almost blurry name above, thought for a moment, and then retracted the half of his tongue.
"Wait, Kasugano-san, why are you putting that away..."
Seeing Fang Zheng putting the half tongue back into the bag, Xue Cai felt goose bumps all over her body. If this thing was in her hands, she would have thrown it away in a minute! !
"This thing may be the key to our getting out of here."
Fang Zheng waved the bag in his hand and continued speaking.
"Do you remember? The news report we found earlier said that in the kidnapping of elementary school students that happened here more than 20 years ago, the victims all had their tongues cut off..."
"ah……!!"
After hearing this, Shishido Yui and her group suddenly understood, but Touma, Setsuna and Setsuna were confused and didn't know what was going on. After all, after coming to this world, they were either trapped in the classroom or hiding from monsters, so naturally they had no time to collect clues and intelligence.
Looking at the three confused people, Fang Zheng took some time to tell them the background story of Tianshen Primary School. After listening to Fang Zheng's story, the three people had different expressions.
“Those children are so pitiful…”
“But they also killed so many people…”
“Well, now is not the time to discuss these issues. What we need to do is to find the other people trapped here and leave here. As for the problem here… we can solve it later.”
Fang Zheng quickly interrupted their discussion and looked forward.
"Besides, we now have a more important problem."
"well?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard Fang Zheng's words. Then they looked forward involuntarily. After that, everyone just stood there in surprise.
The space barrier that was originally broken by Fang Zheng has now been restored, and in the depths of the pitch-black corridor, a figure emitting a faint blue glow gradually emerged and slowly walked towards them.
It was a girl who looked about seven or eight years old. Her left eye was a black hole and her body was covered in blood. At this moment, the girl slowly walked towards the crowd.
"Give it back to me..."
The girl's voice echoed in the corridor, full of resentment. Hearing her voice, the girls could not help but huddle together and hide behind Fang Zheng. If Fang Zheng had not been standing there, they would have probably run away screaming.
"Is this what you're looking for?"
Facing the ghost in front of him, Fang Zheng raised the bag in his hand and shook it, and when the ghost girl saw the bag, her eyes suddenly widened.
"Give it back to me! Give it back to me!"
Along with the shouting, the ghost girl suddenly disappeared, and the next moment she appeared in front of Fang Zheng, holding a pair of scissors in her hand, and stabbed Fang Zheng!
However, just as the girl was about to swing the scissors at Fang Zheng, Fang Zheng grabbed her hand. The next moment, flames suddenly emerged from Fang Zheng's hand, forming a chain that bound the girl tightly.
“Ah…Ah…!!!”
Feeling the burning flames, the girl began to scream. She struggled desperately, trying to get rid of Fang Zheng, but Fang Zheng's hand was like a pair of iron clamps, holding her tightly.
"Um...Kasugano-kun...?"
Seeing this, Xue Cai couldn't bear it and tried to dissuade him.
"There's no need to treat her like this..."
"She is still a vengeful spirit controlled by evil spirits. Simply returning her tongue to her will not allow her to ascend to heaven."
Fang Zheng shook his head.
"I need to remove the evil spirit from her first."
As Fang Zheng spoke, everyone saw that under the burning flames, the ghost girl's appearance gradually changed. Originally, she had purple skin like a dead person, and her body was covered with blood. But gradually, the purple color on her skin began to disappear, and she gradually returned to the appearance of an ordinary person. After a while, the vengeful spirit that was full of resentment and murderous intent disappeared, and was replaced by a dazed little girl who looked like she had just woken up.
"I...I am..."
The girl looked around in confusion, then she reached out her hand and touched her mouth, her expression suddenly changing.
"My, my tongue..."
"Your tongue is here."
At this time, Fang Zheng took out the half of the shriveled tongue from his pocket and handed it to the girl in front of him. The girl stared at the tongue in Fang Zheng's hand, then reached out to take it. Then, she closed her eyes, and after a while, the girl opened her eyes again, but this time, her expression was a little more relieved.
"Thank you, big brother..."
As she spoke, the girl's silhouette gradually dimmed, but at this moment... Fang Zheng grabbed her again.
"etc."
"???"
Feeling that Fang Zheng had grabbed her, the girl tilted her head in confusion and looked at Fang Zheng, while Fang Zheng spoke.
"My friends are still trapped here. I need your strength. I wonder if you are willing to help us find my friends? Of course, in exchange, I will also let your companions ascend to heaven in peace."
That’s right, this is Fang Zheng’s purpose.
If he guessed correctly, then this ghost girl should be the original victim, and she must be inextricably linked to this space.
Instead of letting yourself and others run around like headless flies, wouldn’t it be more convenient to find a guide who knows the situation to lead the way?
Besides, Fang Zheng had learned from the corpses and ghosts that this vengeful girl had killed many people, although she was corrupted by evil spirits at the time and became a vengeful spirit because of her excessive resentment. But we can't just let you go. After all, you have to be punished for making a mistake! You killed so many people before, and now you want to ascend to heaven?
That doesn't exist! At least you have to make up for your mistakes!
As for ascension... Fang Zheng said that he is also a god, if you want to ascend to heaven, you can just come to me!
Such a good opportunity must not be missed!
