Chapter 245 Chapter 254
"Ms. Lan, please wait a moment."
After reading the report, Xi Chao frowned and walked out of the office, calling Xi Siling and Liu Huaqi to follow him.
Although Lan Lingniao was confused, her condition was not very good.
I felt dizzy and I felt like I was going to pass out any second.
After the three of them walked out of the door, Xi Chao immediately lowered his voice and said, "You guys go find someone right away, Xi Shan, Xina, or Principal Mu will do, and then go to the secret forbidden land to see if the cursed heart that we brought back is still there, and if there are any changes."
Xi Siling's worries came true. "Teacher Xi Chao, do you suspect that Sister Lingniao's symptoms are related to the curse?"
Xi Chao nodded seriously. This kind of thing was no joke.
He also didn't want to see any special abilities that didn't belong to the Storm Bird on the report form, but the existence that spread like blood was a very standard phenomenon of the spread of the curse.
"In short, I'll try to relieve her symptoms first, at least to make her feel less uncomfortable, but..."
After all, this is only a temporary solution and the most urgent task is to identify the source of the curse.
The two agreed and turned to leave.
Xi Siling first called Xishan to confirm where he was.
"Hey, isn't this Si Ling? Did you remember to call the teacher? Isn't today a holiday?"
Xishan even joked after answering the phone, saying that Xi Siling was a good kid who would always remember to call and say hello to the teachers during the New Year and other holidays.
But if it's not a holiday, calling might be... not a good thing.
"Teacher Xishan, sorry to bother you. Where are you now? We are here to see you. It's urgent."
Xishan sat up straight immediately. He had just finished class and would take the students out for practice later.
"I'm in my office, what happened?"
"I'll tell you later. I'm hanging up now."
Xishan suddenly felt something was wrong and began to think about what might have happened.
In less than two minutes, Xi Siling and Liu Huaqi rushed to Teacher Xishan's office from the Secret Text School Hospital.
Neither of them took a breath.
"Si Ling, you're here, and Liu Hua-san?"
"Teacher Xishan, this is what happened. We met Lan Lingniao in the school hospital. She is Lan Yi's sister."
The issue with the Lanling Bird was resolved with the help of Xishan.
"Of course I remember, just tell me what happened."
"She felt unwell and went to the school hospital. After the examination, Teacher Xi Chao determined that it was related to the curse. He asked us to come to you and go to the secret forbidden area to confirm it."
As long as the Lanling Bird does not leave the source of the curse, that is, the engraved heart that it brought back, the curse should not take effect.
So, if the Lanling Bird has never left the secret text, it is very likely that...
Xishan's eyes widened, "Could it have been stolen?!"
To determine whether it was stolen or not, we need to go and confirm it with our own eyes. It is also possible that some other changes may have occurred.
——
After many years, I returned to the secret forbidden area again. At first glance, it still seems so gloomy.
The forbidden area of the secret text is divided into two parts, one part of which will be made public, such as providing rewards to each student after the year-end competition.
There is also a part where no one except Principal Mu Wuren is allowed to enter without permission.
Xishan asked the two to wait for him at the entrance of the forbidden area while he went to ask Principal Mu Wuren for authorization.
"When are we going to tell Brother Lan?"
This matter must be told to Lan Yi, they must not hide it. The question is when to tell him.
"Let's first confirm the curse engraved on the heart."
Although Xi Siling also hoped that it was a false alarm, his intuition told him that things were not that simple.
Good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone. It just happens that at this time...
Teacher Xishan quickly arrived at the entrance of the forbidden area with the authorization certificate.
"Follow me closely after you go in, otherwise you will get lost."
In order to ensure the safety of the secret forbidden area, its location is not in any physical space. One has to enter from the main gate and move in the correct direction and distance to finally reach it.
After walking around in twists and turns for about 500 meters, the darkness in the dense forest was suddenly illuminated, and what was glowing was actually a mirror-like lake surrounded by trees.
You can see all kinds of treasures inside from the Mirror Lake.
Xishan first threw a coin-sized dice down, and then the light of Mirror Lake flashed, and the lake surface returned to normal, and the objects below could no longer be seen clearly.
"If you jump in directly, you will be corroded by the Mirror Lake and die without a complete body."
What is hidden here are not treasures, but various evil objects and even evil spirits that have been collected since ancient times.
Xishan had never seen it with his own eyes, but he heard that there was a sorcerer inside.
"Let's go, just jump down."
Xishan jumped in first, and strangely, there was no splash in Mirror Lake.
Xi Siling and Liuhuaqi looked at each other and jumped down as well.
There was no feeling of suffocation, just a cool touch.
When they opened their eyes, they seemed to be floating in the lake, and everything around them was so dreamy.
“Recall the feeling of gravity, and imagine what you are standing on, so you can stand firm.”
I don’t come to Xishan often, but once you master similar skills, you will never forget them.
The two did as they were told and soon got the hang of it.
Walking all the way to a venue that looked like a glass display case, the three of them saw at the same time the engraved heart that was sealed inside, but half of it had been broken into black ash.
Not only was it broken, but even in its sealed state, one could sense an uncomfortable and powerful force spreading around it.
Something really happened!
"No, how can the engraved heart break on its own?!"
Although the engraved heart is not indestructible, it can only be damaged by an impact from an alien power of equal strength.
"This is the engraved heart of the living dead. Perhaps it cannot be viewed with common sense."
Liu Huaqi certainly did not forget the origin of this engraved heart. It was something left by Lun Shengxi, and was used by the Lan clan on the Lan Ling Bird, hoping to use it to preserve Lan Yi who had inherited the legacy.
But why did it break down at this time?
Liu Huaqi would never believe that it had nothing to do with Lun Shengxi.
Bad things just keep happening.
"Leave this engraved heart here for now, and we'll go out first."
Researching this stuff is a technical job, at least Xishan wouldn't look at it.
But even if they didn't understand, they knew it was very dangerous to approach rashly. Who knew whether the engraved heart of the living dead would have any effect on them.
"Teacher Xishan, what about Lan Yi..."
"Well, isn't he in the army?"
"He's out on a mission. We just saw him yesterday."
Xi Siling took another look at the imprinted heart which was in a bad condition, but they were powerless to do anything.
——
Lan Ling Bird's condition progressed quite rapidly.
Not long ago, she was still able to talk to Xi Siling, but now she has fainted and is lying on the hospital bed.
Teacher Sha Yin, who was invited by Xi Si Ling, was examining the Lan Ling Bird.
Now that it has been confirmed that the curse has been activated and is developing, it is natural to invite professionals to come.
"Are you sure this curse originated from the engraved heart of the living dead?"
"Yes."
Na Sha Yin had never encountered a similar curse.
Although the imprinted heart is not uncommon, it is not common either. However, the imprinted heart of the living dead...
Two familiar words form an unfamiliar word.
"Let me try the conventional method first."
He is a familiar classmate again, so there is no need for Sha Yin to explain further.
The spread of a curse always takes time. Even if it cannot be completely removed, the process must be delayed.
Before it was over, the door was suddenly pushed open. Lan Yi took a closer look and instantly came to the side of Lan Ling Bird.
"Sister! Sister, what's wrong with you!"
Lan Yi's face was filled with panic. Looking at his sister who was barely breathing, tears instantly burst out.
Hearing the familiar voice, Lan Lingniao's hands moved, but she was still confused and unable to open her eyes.
Lan Yi clenched his hands, his voice trembling.
"elder sister..."
Sha Yin looked up at him and recalled the year-end competition that year.
Lan Yi noticed his gaze, "Teacher Sha Yin? Teacher, what's the situation with my sister now?"
"The curse spread quickly, but I have helped her alleviate it now."
Among the curses that Sha Yin possesses, there is a curse that 'fights poison with poison'.
It will not cause any harm to the cursed host, but will launch a fierce attack on other curses in the host's body.
Although it cannot be completely removed, it can effectively alleviate the erosion of the curse.
In a sense, it is not much different from some bacteriophages.
"Thank you! Thank you!!!"
Lan Yi was almost kneeling beside the bed, and his voice was trembling as he spoke.
"Can I see that engraved heart?"
Sha Yin put Lan Lingniao's hand back into the quilt, stood up and said to Xi Shan.
To enter the secret forbidden area, one needs Mu Wuren's permission. As a teacher of secret texts, he certainly knows this.
"Well, I'll do it right away."
Before Xishan left, he patted Xi Siling's shoulder and raised his chin towards Lan Yi.
Lan Yi is a very good student, calm, strong and reliable, but the person he cares about most is his sister, so someone still needs to watch over him to prevent him from doing anything extreme.
Xi Siling nodded.
So Shayin and Xishan left together. After Teacher Xichao came to see them in the ward, only four of them were left.
Lan Yi calmed down a little from the time he received Xi Siling's call and learned the whole story until he saw his sister.
When he first got the news, it was like a bolt from the blue, so sudden that he almost forgot what he was doing.
"...Thank you, 40, Aqi."
Lan Yi knew his sister's character. No matter what happened, especially what happened to her, she was unwilling to tell him. Fortunately, there were so many people in the secret text and the teachers also promised to help take care of her, so Lan Yi felt more at ease.
This time we were lucky enough to discover it in time, and happened to be encountered by Xi Siling and others.
Xi Siling also looked at the Lan Ling Bird with worry in his eyes.
Fortunately, the imprinted heart was not stolen. If this had happened, it would have been a huge blow.
"Brother Lan! Sister will be fine."
Lin Zhipei and Li Ke naturally came with Lan Yi. They were still dealing with the evidence not long ago.
"...Um."
Lan Yi reached out and pushed back the hair on his sister's forehead. She looked much better now than when he first met her.
But this is not a solution.
The more Lan Yi thought about it, the more frightened he became.
Liuhuaqi was also thinking about countermeasures. If all other methods failed, they could only find a way to find Lun Shengxi.
But that bastard might not even remember the evil things he did.
