School Rules
Long Yao immediately remembered that when he was flipping through the documents just now, he did not put them back into the drawer, but scattered them on the table.
As soon as someone enters the house, they will realize that there is someone inside. Even if the two of them hide in the layers of sculptures, they can only delay a little time and cannot block their figures, so they can be easily discovered.
Long Yao poked He Lizhou, signaling him to find a chance to slip away together. However, He Lizhou did not hear the man walking into the house again. He realized that the other party already knew that there was someone in the house and was blocking the door waiting for him.
But not going out is not a solution. I can get through the night, but what if it’s not time for morning exercises? What if it’s not time for morning self-study?
This is against school rules, and the elusive teacher will come to punish them.
Unless you give it a try, see if you can subdue the principal.
Having made up his mind, He Lizhou found a prop that had fallen in the hotel. It was called the "Immortal Binding Rope". Its function was just as the name suggested, it could be used to tie up anything, no matter if it was a human, a ghost or an immortal.
This item is very useful. He Lizhou has used it to tie up many NPCs. The best thing about it is that there is no need to untie the rope again by hand. With a thought, the rope will automatically return to the owner's hand.
He Lizhou wrapped it around a few times and put it on his hand for easy operation. Through the light outside, Long Yao could clearly see He Lizhou's movements. The two looked at each other and understood each other's plan.
Long Yao was very agile. The moment he tensed his muscles and rushed out, he was as fast and agile as a cheetah, and immediately clamped the principal's neck. Long Yao then kicked him in the leg and knocked him to the ground. He was in a kneeling position, which made it easy for He Lizhou to tie him up.
He Lizhou immediately followed, circled around the principal twice, and then wrapped the rope around him, tied his hands behind his back.
The principal had his back to them, his hands and feet tied together, unable to move, and couldn't even look back at the two people who had escaped.
He Lizhou ran out of the abandoned teaching building, his breath still steady, "I'm going out of school to verify my guess, are you going?"
Long Yao thought about it for a moment and nodded, "Go."
The two of them could take care of each other. He Lizhou was still very confident in Long Yao's strength, so he did not refuse and headed towards the school gate.
As a result, they had just taken a few steps when they heard footsteps coming from behind. Turning back, they saw that it was the principal, holding in his hand was He Lizhou's prop, the "Rope to Bind Immortals".
This is not right.
How could the props become ineffective? He Lizhou's face changed immediately. Just like the previous copy, they could not use the props.
The props failed in the previous copy due to the overlap of time and space, so what is the reason for this copy?
Without time to think, the two ran out and passed by the security booth. They were stopped by the security guard. He Lizhou turned around and pointed behind him, "The principal has something to ask us to go out. Time is urgent. Don't waste time!"
The security guard saw that the principal was indeed chasing after them. Because of the distance and darkness, he couldn't see the principal's expression clearly. He was still wondering if the students were tricking him. He Lizhou added, "We are not responsible for wasting the best time!"
The security guard was distracted and hurriedly made way.
It was like the fox taking advantage of the tiger's power to bully others. It was not until the principal caught up with the security guard and glared at him fiercely that the security guard realized that he had done something wrong.
The principal looked at the school gate with a gloomy face. He Lizhou and the others hadn't run far, but he didn't seem to plan to go out. "Close the school and don't allow anyone to enter or leave. I don't believe those two brats can run away forever."
After leaving the school gate, He Lizhou kept running south. Long Yao didn't ask any questions and just followed him.
It was not until both of them were out of breath that Long Yao spoke, "What are you doing?"
If they were looking for a hotel, He Lizhou did not stop or look around. If they were running away, the principal would have been left behind long ago.
He Lizhou raised his eyes and looked at the nearby scenery. It was still the tranquility of the night. The surrounding scenery was illuminated by the light of the flashlight, clear and real.
He Lizhou shone the flashlight further away, "I suspect this is a classmate's dream. He pulled everyone into his dream and lived according to the rules he set."
His initial suspicion now is that the female student in the classroom, the protagonist who pulled him into another place to see her being bullied, is also the first sculpture in the principal's office.
This was an idea that Long Yao had never thought of. He looked at He Lizhou with complicated eyes for several times, and did not ask any more questions. "I'll go check out the front, you go find your hotel."
He Lizhou didn't refuse and patted him on the shoulder, "Be careful and take the communicator."
He gave half of the pair of communicators to Long Yao, "If there is any danger, contact me immediately and I will rush over."
Long Yao didn't think he would be in danger and need help, but he still borrowed the communicator handed over by He Lizhou, "It would be much more useful if you find your hotel earlier."
He Lizhou smiled. This was not something he could control. "Good luck. If you haven't found evidence by the time of morning exercises, go back to school first."
They cannot stay outside the school. If people outside the school knew that they had skipped school from No. 1 High School, given their morbid pursuit of academic performance, they might not necessarily do something crazy.
After Long Yao and He Lizhou separated, they continued to walk in the same direction.
Not only was the sky gloomy and dark on the road so that the buildings could not be seen clearly, but a thick fog also gradually rose. Long Yao felt the humidity and guessed that it was morning fog.
Time was running out. Long Yao looked at the seemingly endless buildings in the distance, exhaled, quickened his pace and ran.
I don’t know how long I ran, maybe an hour, maybe half an hour, Long Yao finally found some changes in the nearby buildings. He walked into a house. This was already a village in the city. There were only bungalows of the villagers, which made it easier for Long Yao to observe.
He stood at the base of the wall and saw that the base of the wall was still clear, but the roof had become blurry, as if he had reached the edge of a dream.
Dreams have a certain scope. If there is no dreamer following, one will always find the edge of the dream and discover abnormalities.
He Lizhou actually guessed it right, but he didn't know whose dream this was.
Being too focused on grades and school rules, could it be the principal or the dean?
The principal broke free from He Lizhou's rope, which was obviously not an ordinary prop...
He was not pulled into the past time and space by the female student, and did not grasp the clue, so Long Yao was more inclined to believe that it was the principal.

When Peng Ningyu opened her eyes again, she was teleported to another place. However, this time was different from the last time. Others would no longer ignore her when they saw her. Instead, some malice from their school days came towards her.
Peng Ningyu raised her arms to block the scalding water pouring down from above, and a layer of blisters immediately appeared on her arms.
The girls standing there looked at her disheveled appearance, but the one leading her was still not satisfied. She threw away the basin of hot water in her hand and cursed her in a low voice.
Peng Ningyu wanted to look up, but for some reason, she couldn't lift her head. Her arms were shaking. It was not until the group of people left that she regained some consciousness and was able to control her body.
She immediately stood up and looked around, only to find herself in an unfamiliar place. It was neither a male nor a female dormitory, but a teaching building. However, the style was very old, as if it was built more than ten years ago.
The pain in her arm made it impossible for Peng Ningyu to concentrate. She looked down and made a new discovery. This was not the clothes she wore when she entered the copy, but an unfamiliar school uniform, which was now stuck to the blisters. If she rashly took it off, it would definitely be a bloody mess.
Peng Ningyu walked to the faucet, turned it on and rinsed for a while. The pain gradually subsided, and then she gritted her teeth and lifted up her clothes.
All I could see on the thin arms were purple scars, bruises from being pinched, and black bruises from being hit hard.
Even though he hadn't figured out the current situation, Peng Ningyu was still shocked by the scarred arm.
She subconsciously checked other parts of her body, lifted up her shirt, and saw another clear handprint.
Peng Ningyu's expression changed immediately. The location of the handprint was ambiguous enough that it was hard not to make associations.
There is no mirror here. She touched her face to make sure it was not herself. Who was this? Had she entered the next copy, or possessed someone else?
Peng Ningyu was panicked, but did not hesitate. If she was possessed by an NPC, now was the time to search for clues. The copy would not allow her to be possessed inexplicably, so it could only be related to the main storyline.

Time passed slowly. Sheng Ju lay on the bed and raised his wrist to check the time. It was already four o'clock in the morning. He had not heard the sound of He Lizhou returning to the dormitory. Not only He Lizhou, but even Long Yao had not returned.
We have to do morning exercises at 5:45 and there will be a head count. If the class teacher finds out there are people missing, it’s no joke.
Long Yao signed the agreement, but He Lizhou did not. If he was caught, he would definitely be expelled from school. And being expelled from school in this copy would undoubtedly mean mission failure and death.
Long Yao said he was going to the principal's office. Could it be that he met the principal on his way back?
He couldn't bear it any longer, and sat up gently from the bed, intending to go to He Lizhou's dormitory to see if He Lizhou had returned. If not, it would be necessary to go out and look for him.
He pushed open the door of the dormitory without making any sound. The dormitory door made a loud noise and creaked when it was opened and closed. Sheng Ju applied some lubricating oil to reduce the noise.
He looked back at the other roommates. They were still sleeping and no one was awake. Sheng Ju turned and walked towards 204.
From 217 to 204, there are two corridor turns in the middle. Sheng Ju turned a corner and saw a girl with short hair standing at the end of the corridor.
The girl was wearing the same school uniform as him.
Sheng Ju immediately thought of the girl he met in the classroom. He was shocked and wondered how she got here. Before he could react, the girl slowly turned her head towards Sheng Ju and had already spotted him...
