Chapter 33
Li Yang took half a minute to understand what happened.
After Zhixuan entered the stairs, she saw a two-meter-tall monster. She immediately took out the exorcism talisman and threw it at the monster. The monster shrank to about one meter. She turned around and ran back to the hotel corridor. As a result, everything changed. The hotel became dark and smelly. The children were chased by all kinds of strange evil spirits and ran into some rooms in a panic.
Zhixuan helped them fight off the monsters one by one. On the way, he met the little girl who was playing chess with him now. The little girl used magic to deal with the monsters. The two of them chose each other as comrades-in-arms at the same time. They worked together to save all the cubs they saw from the hands of evil spirits and brought them to a safe room. Zhixuan posted talismans to eliminate human popularity and drive away evil spirits on the door and walls, which protected everyone and led to the situation that Li Yang sees now.
But Li Yang thought about the sixteenth floor that was suspected to have been swept by the teacher, and asked: "Didn't you hear the teacher's voice?"
A dozen kids shook their heads. They were too focused on watching Zhixuan's girl play Gobang, and: "Zhixuan said we are playing hide-and-seek and cannot be found by anyone."
Li Yang looked at Zhixuan and knew that this little kid was trying to trick him again, but he meant well. If the kid knew that he was in danger and there were evil spirits outside, he would be so scared.
And when you don't know the real situation, you must be vigilant and not trust people outside.
What if it was some demon or monster transformed?
Li Yang peeled off the four yellow paper talismans that Zhixuan had posted and gave them back to Zhixuan, asking them to line up and follow him upstairs to meet up with other teachers.
In the elevator, all the short-legged kids were huddled together, so Li Yang picked up Tang Wan, and the space became a little more relaxed.
The seventeenth to twenty-second floors were also cleared, with no one or evil spirits. Li Yang simply gave instructions to the paper figurine: "Find other teachers."
The little paper man shook his head, flew to the elevator button 23, and asked him to check each floor carefully first.
Li Yang pressed 23, and the little paper man flew out of the elevator, sniffed, and came back, asking Li Yang to press 24, all the way to the 25th floor. The little paper man went out to feel it, and pointed in a direction with a chirping sound.
Li Yang led the group of cubs to the west corridor and ran into another long line of cubs, which was guarded by Liang Tang.
Liang Tang was surprised to see Li Yang: "Why are you here?"
"I'm worried because you guys haven't come out yet." Li Yang said casually.
Liang Tang also knew that the situation was serious. Who knows how anxious the people outside were, and his expression was solemn. "We can go out after the evil spirits are cleared away."
There were more than a dozen little paper figures flying around Li Yang, which was very eye-catching. Some children from other kindergartens stared at the paper figures intently.
Several children came out of the room and joined the team, followed by Zhou Du and several teachers.
Zhou Du raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw Li Yang.
The little girl from Li Yang's team saw her teacher next to Zhou Du and blurted out Hong Kong-style English: "Miss Lau." Then she walked over and was picked up by Teacher Liu.
"Hey, how come you are here?"
The little girl said something briefly. Teacher Liu looked at the children behind Li Yang, smiled and nodded in approval.
Yaoyao patted Teacher Liu, "Miss. Lau, put me down."
Teacher Liu smiled and put it down.
Liang Tang asked the two teams to merge the children together, and the teachers discussed how to accommodate them. Li Yang said, "Floors 5 to 12 have been cleared. It's safe now. Lu Xiaoguo and the other children we found are all on the fifth floor. You can see them when you get out of the elevator."
"Great!" Teacher Liu, "Then let's go down and meet up with them!"
The teachers agreed.
Four teachers led the team into the elevator in batches. Zhixuan and Yaoyao had already become good friends and walked together hand in hand.
Finally, only Zhou Du, Li Yang and Liang Tang were left. Continue searching upwards.
On the remaining two floors, the evil spirits were no longer a problem. Zhou Du drew talismans out of thin air, one talisman per second, to deal with the huge evil spirits. Li Yang was even more idle, so he just let the little paper man eat him. Only Liang Tang, who didn't bring any talismans, worked hard to attack with swordsmanship, but the evil spirits were as difficult to deal with as before, dispersing and condensing. He was so angry that he threw himself on the spot and stood there with Li Yang to watch.
The last evil spirit disappeared, the space collapsed on its own, and the scene before his eyes regained its color as if colored ink was smudged.
Li Yang withdrew the paper figures. More than a dozen paper figures lay neatly in the palm of his hand, but they were no longer snow-white, but a dark smoky black color.
Li Yang probably knew how to deal with it, "Do you have a lighter?"
Liang Tang felt his pocket and said, "No, maybe it fell out when I was running."
Zhou Du looked at him with interest: "You don't want to ask me?"
"Excuse me, do you have a lighter?" Li Yang resisted the urge to hit him.
Zhou Du simply made a hand gesture, and no fire appeared. Only a corner of the paper man started to burn with golden light, slowly devouring the black paper man without a wisp of smoke.
"!" Li Yang naturally coveted this spell, "Remember to teach me when you return to Nanjiang."

In the conference room, the teachers who were anxiously discussing countermeasures found that the surveillance screen flickered for a moment, and then the figures of the children and the teachers appeared.
Everyone applauded. Two hours had already passed, and they knew without asking that the situation was going to be very difficult.
When Zhou Du and others brought the children back, the teacher in the conference hall came up to them and asked them what had happened.
Zhou Du looked around at the teachers and said, "Now please take the children in your own garden back to their seats and count the number of people. We will hold a meeting in half an hour to explain the situation."
So the teachers took their kids back to their seats and counted the number of people.
Director Zheng of Gangcheng shook Zhou Du's hand and said, "Thank you, Zhou Du. Otherwise, I don't know how to explain to everyone."
Zhou Du looked at Ruan Yiming: "There is a problem with the formation, Director Ruan, have you gone back to the room to check?"
Ruan Yiming looked embarrassed. "I checked and found that there was indeed a problem. The hotel cleaner smudged one of the talismans with a wet rag. Now I have pasted a new one. It should be fine. I'm sorry. It was my negligence..."
Zhou Du said nothing.
If an accident like this happened, the child could be pushed into danger if one is not careful. Gangcheng must take the responsibility.
On the other side of the conference room, the teachers counted the number of students and reported loudly: "Rongcheng Huahua Central Kindergarten, the number of students is all here!"
"Antong City Golden Rainbow Kindergarten, full enrollment!"
“…”
“…”
The teachers breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately it was a false alarm.
Director Zheng: "Huh - it's not bad."
Only Li Yang, who was standing by, was silent for a while, then said, "There is another one."
"What?" Teacher Gangcheng looked at him.
Li Yang expanded: "Only seventeen kindergartens have gathered, and there is still one kindergarten that has not spoken."
All the teachers at Jincheng Kindergarten repeated the counting and finally confirmed the number of people - there were indeed six missing.
"Look at the elevator surveillance!" a teacher from the other garden suddenly spoke up.
Everyone looked at the screen and saw six children in the elevator with their backs to the camera.
The elevator rose steadily.
Ruan Yiming quickly enlarged the screen and saw that the numbers on the top layer were lit up.
"What are they doing on the top floor?!" asked the teacher from Jincheng.
"Don't worry about it, let's go up and check out the situation!" Principal Jincheng quickly took two teachers to the elevator room, and the principals of other kindergartens followed suit to help.
Li Yang followed Zhou Du.
There are three elevators in the hotel. The numbers on one of them kept going up until it reached the top floor. Then the other two elevators arrived and the directors hurried in.
After getting out of the elevator, the director looked around and saw no one.
Ruan Yiming's face turned pale: "Rooftop!!"
Twenty people rushed to the stairwell and ran up.
The protective door of the rooftop was wide open. Six children were standing on the concrete platform, holding hands. Facing them, their big black pupils were expressionless.
"The evil spirit has entered his body and he is stunned." A headmaster murmured.
Everyone slowly approached the child step by step, and when they were still two meters away, the child took a small step back.
As long as she fell, the other children holding hands would be pulled down and fall in a line.
The heads of the gardens immediately stopped moving and discussed in a low voice:
"What should I do now?"
"Evil spirits are very difficult to deal with. Once they enter the body, you can't get rid of them." Director Rongcheng said angrily.
"It's not that it can't be driven away. All you need is pure Yang energy. Where can you find it now..." The director of the Shenzhen kindergarten stopped talking halfway when he looked in the direction of the child.
Li Yang received Zhou Du's gaze, nodded, took a running start, and ran over.
The six children retreated step by step, with only one step left before they fell from the 27th floor. But at this moment, Li Yang stepped onto the edge of the rooftop, and took the three children into his arms with one hand, and pulled the other three into his arms as well. He hugged the children into a ball and rolled them to the safe area.
Everyone saw that in his arms, the evil spirits in the six cubs were forced out of their bodies, and black air flew up to the sky and disappeared.
The cubs closed their eyes and fainted.
Although we are out of danger, the action just now really made everyone's heart jump to their throat and scared them a lot. Fortunately, no one is fine and we breathed a sigh of relief.
After some of them reacted, they thought of the scene where the evil spirit disappeared at the end... and looked at Li Yang with a look of scrutiny and thought.
A head teacher asked Ruan Yiming: "Which kindergarten teacher is this? She looks so young."
Ruan Yiming: "I'm from Nanjiang City, but I'm not a teacher. I'm a school bus driver."
The dean nodded with a satisfied smile, "No wonder, no wonder, young people have great potential."
The director and teacher of Jincheng took the child back to the room. According to them, they had to stabilize the child's soul to prevent it from being lost, so three other directors helped to carry the child back.
The rest of the people returned to the conference room. Ruan Yiming changed the surveillance footage to an animated movie for the children to watch. After leaving a few teachers to watch over the place, all the other principals and teachers went into the conference room for a meeting.
The principal of Gangcheng Kindergarten and all the teachers bowed and apologized sincerely, which calmed the teachers down.
However, when everyone reviewed what happened today, they all raised doubts: "Will the evil spirits be planning something?"
Evil spirits are monsters formed from the evil spirits of the three realms of humans, demons and monsters, especially the disgusting psychological states of fear, jealousy and hatred. They are similar to monsters, but monsters can induce the dark side of people, but evil spirits cannot. Evil spirits have almost no IQ.
Ruan Yiming said: "We in Gangcheng also think it's not simple. Although my formation was broken a little, it doesn't feel like a coincidence, so we have reported it to the bureau. They will investigate it thoroughly, and our Gangcheng kindergarten will also accept the investigation."
Hong Kong City is willing to take responsibility, and everyone has nothing else to say.
"So will today's competition continue? And what about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow? I still feel scared when I think about it now. What if something else happens..."
Everyone was silent for a while.
Zhou Du sat on the swivel chair, tapped the table with his long fingers, looked at everyone, and said, "Let the children decide, they can play if they want."
