Chapter 37
Chester suddenly opened his eyes, and a familiar pocket watch appeared in his sight, with all three hands pointing to twelve o'clock!
Unprecedented potential power suddenly emerged in his body. Chester held onto Jas's hand tightly, and the two adjusted their postures in the air to maintain their balance and avoid being caught in the center of the tornado. Then, when the wind sent them close to the roof, they stepped on a brick in the air and, with the help of the reaction force, reached the roof.
Their posture was very awkward, and the two of them could only hold on to the pointed roof of the three-story building with their hands - this was the school's teaching building, and the place where they landed was right above Principal Meng's office.
But this was not entirely safe, because they would always run out of strength, and if they let go, they would fall from a height of three stories; not to mention that the monster had not let them go yet - the other party had obviously noticed the two humans flying up and down in the chaos, and attacked them with its tornado arms raised again.
"He has no eyes, doesn't he?" Jas said frantically, "Why on earth can he see us and keep chasing us?"
"There's nothing we can do, Dad! Do you think they'll treat us as disaster relief heroes and give our families some compensation?" Chester had clearly inherited his father's dry sense of humor. Even in such a critical moment, he quipped, "Maybe we'll be hung on the school wall too... But I don't know how many more years the school can survive..."
“…”
The familiar feeling of wind swept towards them.
The monster's arms have now completely turned into tornadoes. The outer wind can suck people in, while the inner wind is like a knife, crushing people's flesh and bones. Although they are clinging to the roof tightly, they have closed their eyes because they have already determined in their hearts that they are doomed and are ready to face the arrival of death.
But at this moment, a gunshot pierced the sky and the monster stopped moving.
The two opened their eyes. Instead of attacking them, the monster slowly turned around, revealing its enormous eyes. In the distance, at the other end of the playground, a small figure raised a gun, aiming at the behemoth—it was Ace!
The monster is enraged!
He ran over at a very fast speed. Due to his bloated body, his running posture was very strange, but his speed was not very slow. Ace over there also started running!
"Ace!" Jas recognized his student at a glance.
"Come down quickly!" A familiar voice came from below. The office window opened and Principal Meng stuck his head out - it turned out that he was also in school!
"We can't get down!" Chester wanted to cry, "We'll fall to our death if we go down."
The two men were stuck in mid-air, unable to climb up or down, and unable to let go. Their palms had already been rubbed raw, and the pain prevented them from holding on for much longer.
"Jump down! I will catch you!" Principal Meng said, and then a steel platform suddenly extended from the windowsill. It was as soft and malleable as silk, and suddenly became hard at the moment of formation.
Chester's eyes lit up, and he looked at Jas. They both let go of each other and landed safely.
On the other side, a campus chase is taking place.
Ace is obviously a very courageous young man. He dares to take the lead and is very proactive. Of course, most importantly, he has loyal friends to support him.
When he saw the monster change direction, he immediately ran with all his strength, not daring to delay even a single step, exerting his maximum potential. Even if there was a solid wall in front of him, he ignored it and did not slow down at all, because he believed that the person behind the wall would open a door for him.
"Attention, Ace is coming in!"
"Three, two..." Before Lin Yaoxin could finish his words, Tang Yu had already taken action and opened a turquoise door on the wall.
Ace opened his eyes with a determined look. Just when he was about to hit the wall, the turquoise door opened for him. He jumped and rushed into the school building.
But the monster did not give up, and he punched the school building again and again.
Feeling the ceiling shaking, the three people ran downstairs quickly and entered the secret base.
"He can't find this place." Ace gasped for breath.
"We are in the basement, it should be fine." Tang Yu said.
The three of them huddled on the sofa, nervously listening to the movements outside.
The lights above my head flickered, the furniture was shaking, and the wall paint and dust were falling off.
"Damn it, it looks like he's not going to let us go." Ace cursed.
"Doctor An said she will be at school soon." Lin Yaoxin suddenly said.
Although, in the eyes of Ace and Tang Yu, Ango is still an ordinary person without extraordinary abilities, the abilities she has demonstrated so far are amazing, so everyone feels that if Ango is here, they can feel much more at ease.
"Can we hold on until then?" Tang Yu looked around and saw spider-web-like cracks everywhere.
"What else can we do? The upstairs should be almost completely destroyed."
This school building has been in disrepair for a long time, and the upstairs part has long been aging. It is obvious that it cannot withstand the attacks of A-level ability users for long. If they go upstairs now, wouldn’t they be walking into the tiger’s mouth?
Tang Yu continued to scan, as if looking for something that could be used.
Gradually, her eyes focused on the skylight that was exposed on the ground.
"That's him!" Tang Yu commanded, "You two, take all your weapons, and let's get out from that side..."
On this side, the monster was demolishing the school building angrily; on the other side, the trio also moved quickly. Tang Yu opened a door at the skylight, and the soil outside the school building was decomposed by Ace and transferred into the house.
Ace was the first one to climb out. He couldn't believe the sight before him - two and a half floors of the three-story school building had collapsed, and the monster was destroying the first floor and was about to break through the middle floor!
He crawled on the ground and reached out to catch Tang Yu who came out second, and then Lin Yaoxin.
When the short Ace came out alone, the monsters had no way of discovering them, but by the time all three of them came out, they were already conspicuous enough.
A huge shadow loomed over them, the strong wind lifted their hair from their sleeves, and a huge, bloodshot eye stared at them unblinking.
"This eye didn't look like this just now..." Ace scratched his head, "Can monsters get angry too?"
"Run!" Tang Yu shouted.
The tornado behind them raised huge dust, and construction waste and various furniture were also swept into it. In order to avoid being caught up in the hurricane, the three people ran as fast as they could.
Now they not only have to avoid the hurricane, but also have to dodge all kinds of objects that may attack them at any time. Fortunately, Tang Yu's door-making skills come in handy at this time - as long as it is a solid object, she can make a hole in it to avoid being hit, or to prevent these things from hindering their running in a straight line.
They had already decided where to run to. Since the abandoned school building was not safe, they met with Dr. An in the teaching building.
"Come here quickly!" The window on the third floor of the teaching building suddenly opened, and Jas and Chester, with scars on their faces, and Principal Meng called out loudly.
The three people's eyes lit up!
However, the next second, an iron bed frame crashed into the principal's office. Principal Meng quickly closed the window, and then the steel extended from the gap in the window, covering the outside of the glass, leaving a shallow dent, but it was not a big deal.
"It's safe in the principal's office." Lin Yaoxin immediately realized that the principal's office was the safest place in the school.
But in the end they were too close to the monster.
Running at similar speeds, they hadn't been able to distance themselves from each other. Seeing the tornado had already blown them back and forth, they could only pull each other forward to avoid being swept in, and their speed was even slower and slower.
Seeing that their feet were becoming increasingly weak, both the three people running in panic and the three people in the principal's office felt their hearts in their throats.
"Get down!" A familiar female voice came from the front of the trio.
That was Ango! She stood there, holding a thick, sharp-tipped branch in her arms, and then threw it out like... a javelin!
Without time to think, the three of them rolled forward on the ground, following the momentum of their sprint, just in time to avoid the huge branch. And in the hurricane, the branch, like a locator, was completely unaffected by its surroundings and continued to thrust forward unwaveringly - Ango's aim was not elsewhere, but the monster's feet.
Such a sharp wooden spike should have been able to pierce the instep of an ordinary creature, but the surface of this monster's skin seemed to be covered with a protective shield, and the wood was immediately bounced off and rolled to the front... Then the monster stumbled and fell to the ground in an instant, rolling twice. His back and his huge eyes crushed the wood into pieces, raising a huge amount of dust.
Thanks to Ango's action, the three of them immediately put some distance between themselves and the monster, but the monster also quickly got up.
He seemed to be enraged again, and a deep and angry growl emanated from some unknown part of his body. The sound did not belong to any known language, but it felt inexplicably strange and eerie, as if it came from hell and wanted to drag them into the abyss of loss of control.
Ango managed to calm himself down and insisted on standing in front of the teaching building.
When people with extraordinary abilities lose control, they occasionally spread the out-of-control virus.
A team of esper users sent to fight the out-of-control creatures might end up losing control themselves and joining the monster horde. This sort of thing was occasionally recorded in books, and now Ango finally understood how it spread.
And everyone present is a person with extraordinary abilities.
Ango dropped the branch he was holding, raised his gun, and closed his eyes.
Evil whispers echoed in her ears, and something deep in her head felt like it was about to explode.
Even so, in the darkness, a map of the school clearly appeared before her. On this map, a huge, red eye was approaching her.
At this moment, from Ango's perspective, she couldn't see these eyes, but they just appeared, as if they had already been anchored in Ango's mind.
The A-level tracking eye can lock onto its prey by anchoring and marking, and the branch javelin she threw is the bait, which has firmly marked the monster's eyes.
Ango pulled the trigger, and several bullets shot out in a strange arc, lining up to bypass Ace and the other two in front of them, passing through two tornadoes, brushing past the monster's side, and then going around behind it... hitting the eye.
The horrifying sound suddenly stopped, and everyone regained consciousness in an instant.
"Did you see what happened just now? That bullet... was it my illusion?" Chester opened his eyes wide and pointed at Ango, as if she was the monster.
"I saw it. Perhaps it was the monster's sonic attack that caused our minds to hallucinate." Jas rubbed his swollen temples. "How can a normal person's bullet turn?"
"Normal bullets can't turn, but those with special abilities can." Principal Meng held his forehead with his hand. The sound wave just now had obviously taken its toll on him. "Such a heavy branch... How could an ordinary person throw it so far and so accurately?"
