“Hmm…”

Xuecai woke up slowly and was startled when she saw the unfamiliar ceiling in front of her. Then she jumped up quickly and looked around.

Under the snow-white light, there was an unfamiliar classroom, and on the floor of the classroom, there were several people lying in a mess.

What happened? Didn't they leave Tianshen Primary School?

"Touma, wake up, wake up! Look, where are we?"

Setsuna pushed Touma a few times, then went to shake Sekai and Kotonoha, and at this time, the others also woke up slowly, opened their eyes and sat up as if they had just woken up from a dream. When they saw the classroom in front of them, Touma, Setsuna, Sekai and Kotonoha were as stunned as Setsuna, but Nakajima Naomi and Shinohara Sayoko cheered and hugged each other tightly.

"Great, we're back! This is Kisaragi Academy!!"

"Huh? Huh?"

Looking at the ecstatic crowd, Xuecai and the others were confused and didn't know what to do. Noticing their confusion, Shishido Yui came up to them with a smile and introduced them.

"This is our classroom. We are back at Kisaragi Academy!"

"Really? This isn't some kind of multi-enclosed space, is it?"

Compared to the survivors of Kisaragi Academy, Setsuna and the others were obviously more alert. It was no wonder they asked this question, after all, it was already late at night. The typhoon seemed to have passed, but if you looked out the window, it was still pitch black.

It was no different from what they had seen before at Tianshen Elementary School.

Of course, if anything, the classrooms here are at least not that old, and are more in line with everyone's impression of a school...

"No, but it is indeed midnight now..."

Shishido Yui took out her phone and saw that it was already four in the morning. When they had performed the ritual before, it was almost seven in the evening, which was only eight or nine hours. But for Shishido Yui, this short period of less than ten hours brought her... I'm afraid she will never forget it in her life.

"Alright, everyone."

Thinking of this, Shishido Yui clapped her hands and motioned everyone to look at her.

"It's time to go home... I'll give everyone a day off tomorrow, so take a good rest."

"But... my brother hasn't come back yet..."

Yuka is obviously still worried about her brother, and no one can do anything about it.

"We should trust Kasugano-san. If he says he will find it, then he will definitely find it. Don't worry..."

As she spoke, Shishido Yui whispered a few words of comfort to Yuka, then looked at Setsuna and the others.

"What about you?"

"us……"

Hearing Shishido Yui's question, Xue Cai and the others looked at each other in embarrassment. To be honest, from the bottom of their hearts, they wanted to leave here immediately. But on the other hand, they were also very worried about Fang Zheng and Qiong. If they didn't see them come back with their own eyes, they would always feel uneasy.

But... if they were to wait for them in this classroom, then Setsuna and the others would ask themselves if they really had the guts to do so. After all, they had learned from Naomi and Zeiko that this school was built on the site of the original Tenjin Elementary School. If they stayed here and were accidentally sent inside again, who would save them this time?

However, when everyone was hesitating, Setsuna silently took out his cell phone.

“There’s a fast food restaurant nearby that’s open all night.”

"Right there."

Shijie made a decision immediately. She and Setsuna had both worked in fast food restaurants before, so they were quite familiar with this kind of place. There weren't many people in a 24-hour fast food restaurant, so it was relatively safe, and it was close to the main street. If something happened... it would be good to have someone to take care of it.

What's more, after such a commotion all night, even if they went back now, they would definitely not be able to sleep and would have nightmares. Instead of that, it would be better for everyone to stay together and feel more at ease.

"I'm going too!"

Yuka is also worried about her brother, so she doesn't plan to go home, but wants to stay up late with everyone.

After making the decision, everyone left the classroom under the leadership of Shishido Yui. Of course, they encountered patrolling guards on the way, which frightened them. Fortunately, with the appearance of the guards, everyone was finally convinced that they had really returned to the real world this time, and were not still trapped in a confined space...

With Shishido Yui there, the group was not questioned. The guards simply thought they were responsible for staying behind to organize the class supplies, so they just asked a few questions and let them leave.

Among them, these people also discovered a problem, that is, except for them, no one else could remember Sakutaro Mori Shige, as if he did not exist in everyone's memory at all.

Does it mean that people who die in that world will be completely forgotten?

It's sad to lose a friend, but at least they came back alive.

At the school gate, everyone nodded and said goodbye and left. Setsuna and the others dragged their tired bodies to a fast food restaurant not far away, while the others were sent home one by one by Shishido Yui.

Now, they have no choice but to wait.

But for Fang Zheng, it is not that simple.

If he didn't quite understand what Guan Naixue meant before, then after entering here, Fang Zheng immediately understood what Guan Naixue meant when she said "she is different from us".

Strictly speaking, the four Tianshen Primary Schools were formed by the resentment of the four victims. Fang Zheng was not afraid of this kind of space, nor was he unfamiliar with it. Of course, if you want to be strict, the space of the previous "Tianshen Primary Schools" gave people the feeling of a haunted morgue, or some kind of real haunted house.

But, it's different here.

Although from the outside, there is no difference between this place and the other three "Tenjin Elementary Schools", it feels different.

The rotten floorboards creaked and felt soft when stepped on, as if stepping on a pile of corpses. The door handle was not cold at all, but even felt warm, like a bone just removed from a human body, still bloody and greasy.

The air was so stuffy that it felt like wearing a three-layer mask. I couldn't breathe even if I opened my mouth.

What made Fang Zheng even more alert was the hint of... evil in the air.

Evil is relative.

Guan Naoxue, Yoshizawa Ryo and Tsuji Tokiko also killed many people, but they were not evil, they were more like beasts hiding in the forest. When they met their prey, they would rush over and bite and beat you until you were killed.

The reason may be that you have invaded its territory, or threatened its children, or even wanted to eat its meat. But in any case, these have nothing to do with evil.

So the atmosphere in their space is somewhat dangerous, or perhaps a bit chaotic, but it is hard to say how evil it is.

However, it’s different here.

Just walking in the corridor, Fang Zheng felt his hair stand on end. An "indescribable" evil aura made his nerves tense to the extreme. If you ignore the appearance and only look at the feeling, then in Fang Zheng's opinion, this place is no different from the first level of hell in the main world.

This situation is very serious!

You have to know that this is just a love world...Okay, now at most a little bit of supernatural elements have been added in, but if we really want to classify it according to power, it would be a bit of an exaggeration to say that this is a low-magic world. It is more accurate to say that it is a world without magic.

But in such a world, there actually exists a copy of the same scene as the first layer of hell in the high magic world...

It's like putting a Star Wars battlefield map in the context of World War I...

How can you play against a Jedi wielding a lightsaber with a musket?

Fang Zheng silently compared them. If he guessed correctly, the power of the owner of this space should be about three and a third of Diablo's...

Well, if it was in the main world, Fang Zheng could easily beat this kind of people.

But now in this world, he doesn't have such good luck. After all, the only thing Fang Zheng can use right now is the First Fire. Fortunately, the opponent is just a weakened version of Diablo. If Fang Zheng uses the First Fire and rushes forward, he is not completely without a chance of winning.

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng became even more worried about Qiong's safety.

He had never been to hell, but there were many records about hell in the White Tower. Those terrible devils and demons, as well as the legendary "bloody battles" were not the most important. The most terrible thing was the erosion of the human soul by the breath of hell. Once this erosion reached a certain level, it could not be restored.

Now Fang Zheng just hopes that Qiong can still hold on.

Third floor, second floor...

Fang Zheng quickened his pace and checked each room. Unlike before, he did not encounter any ghost attacks in this space, not even a single ghost. Only the bones and corpses that appeared from time to time told of everything they had encountered in their lives. But this made Fang Zheng even more alert. He remembered that there was another person who had also come to this space, and it seemed that his name was Tetsuo Mochida, but now, he did not see any trace of the other person.

The other party's body was not found either.

Finally, Fang Zheng arrived at the first floor.

Health room.

“Kacha…!”

When Fang Zheng stretched out his hand and tried to open the door of the health room, he found that it was locked. At the same time, a trembling voice came from inside.

"Yes, who is it?!"

"Qiong?"

Hearing this voice, Fang Zheng immediately felt relieved.

"It's me."

"elder brother?!"

Hearing Fang Zheng's voice, Qiong inside shouted happily, but the next moment, her voice suddenly turned into panic.

"No, no, brother, you can't come in!"

"What's wrong?"

Hearing Qiong's words, Fang Zheng immediately frowned.

"Open the door quickly, we need to leave here as soon as possible, it's very dangerous here..."

"No, no, brother, you can't come in!"

However, to Fang Zheng's surprise, no matter what he said, Qiong refused to open the door of the health room, let alone let him in.

"I'm coming in!"

Seeing that persuasion was ineffective, Fang Zheng began to worry. Did something happen to Qiong? Or was she injured here before? Was her face disfigured? He knew from Guan Naixue that the three of them were tortured to death by Xiaozaki Sachiko, and Guan Naixue also lost an eye.

Could it be that she did the same to Qiong?

If she really dares to do that, Fang Zheng will make sure to beat the shit out of that little girl!

"I opened the door!"

Fang Zheng roared again, then grabbed the door, and then heard a "click". The locked door was forcibly opened by Fang Zheng, and then he threw the door panel away and strode in.

"don't want--!!"

Qiong obviously didn't expect Fang Zheng to barge in directly, and she screamed in fright, but unfortunately, it was too late.

Although Qiong had tried her best to wrap her body with the sheets, Fang Zheng still saw the tail and horns sticking out from the sheets at a glance...

Then Fang Zheng was stunned.

"Wu...Brother...don't look at me..."

Qiong stretched out her hands desperately, trying to cover the horns on her head, but it was of no use. Although the horns on her head were not as long as deer antlers, they were not short either, and they were long and pointed. Even if Qiong stretched out her palms, she could not cover them.

“…”

Seeing this, Fang Zheng was also stunned.

It’s not that he didn’t think that there must be something wrong with Qiong, but he didn’t expect that Qiong would have such a problem.

Half dragon!

In fact, in the main world, half-dragonization itself is not a particularly rare thing. After all, there is a group of spellcasters called Dragon Vein Warlocks. They have dragon blood flowing in their blood, which allows these people to use some "special abilities" naturally. When they have a good enough grasp of the magic power in their blood, they can actively activate the part of their body that belongs to the dragon, thus becoming half-dragonized.

They can possess dragon scales, dragon physique, dragon strength, and can even grow tails, horns, and wings... Of course, these are generally not ordinary humans, but half-dragons.

But what Fang Zheng didn't expect was that Qiong could also become half-dragon.

But after thinking about it carefully, Fang Zheng quickly realized where the problem lay - it was himself.

That's right, Fang Zheng had directly cast his soul here, but the problem was that he and Qiong were twins in this world. Therefore, Qiong's soul was also unintentionally affected by him. Fang Zheng was a god, a time dragon, and a swarm master. Regardless of his identity, the influence of his soul was the strongest. In comparison, Qiong's soul was just a mortal. With the blood connection between the two, it was extremely difficult for him not to be "infected".

But……

Looking at the crying Qiong, Fang Zheng was also scratching his head.

What should I do in this situation?

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng pondered for a moment, then he sat next to Qiong.

"Don't worry, Qiong, this isn't your problem. In fact, it's my fault..."

"elder brother?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Qiong curiously poked his head out and looked at Fang Zheng, while Fang Zheng stared at Qiong and spoke.

"In fact, I have been hiding it from you. Actually... I am not from this world..."
