Chapter 174 Shadow World
Xiaomei and Wangzainan screamed in fear and huddled together, trembling.
"Ghost! There really is a ghost!"
Shen Wan said coldly: “Shut up, it’s so noisy.”
"Master, are Anchor Lin and Old Wu still alive?" another female fan named Yan'er asked with fear in her eyes.
Shen Wan glanced at the two shadows embedded in the wall and said calmly, "They are not dead. They were just caught in the world of shadows."
"The world of shadows?"
"To put it simply, the spiritual pressure in this place is too strong, causing the magnetic field to distort into a new space. These two people were caught in another space, just like the world in a mirror."
After Shen Wan explained it this way, they understood.
Xiaomei was so frightened that her face turned pale. She grabbed Wangzaiman's arm tightly and said, "I don't want to stay here anymore. I want to get out!"
Wangzaiman saw that Shen Wan was not an ordinary person, and hurriedly said: “Master, can you escort us out? I will give you money!”
He took out a wad of money from his wallet and stuffed it into Shen Wan's hand.
While collecting the money, Shen Wan said calmly: “I have my own things to do. Even if I give you the amulet, you are so timid that you can’t get out of the school. You might as well shut up and follow me.”
"Follow you? Where to?"
Shen Wan pointed at the charred wall.
Xiao Mei immediately shook her head like a rattle, "No, no, no, I won't go in. Who knows what I'll encounter in there."
Chen Wan glanced at her and said, "It's okay if you don't want to go. Then go by yourself."
Xiaomei was angry and helpless, and looked at Wangzaiman helplessly, "Would you please go out with me?"
Wangzai looked at the wall fearfully, the scene of Old Wu being taken away by the ghost hand just now was still vivid in his mind.
Not to mention going out, he didn't even dare to go downstairs at this moment!
Who knows what might come out of the wall and grab him away.
"I still believe in the master. She will protect me. After all, she has been paid."
Unexpectedly, the next second, Shen Wan threw three amulets to him.
"This money is only enough to buy a talisman. If you carry it with you, evil spirits will not be able to get close to you. But be careful, they will disguise themselves as people you are familiar with and pester you, making you let down your guard. Once you lose your mind, you will be slaughtered by them."
Shen Wan said everything he needed to say, then turned to Li Hanting.
"There's nothing abnormal in the real world. It looks like the problem lies in the shadow world. We have to go in."
Li Hanting nodded without hesitation, "Okay."
Wangzaiman held the amulet tightly in his hand and gave one to Xiaomei and one to Yaner respectively.
Afterwards, the three of them followed Shen Wan and Li Hanting and slowly walked downstairs.
As expected, dozens of pairs of charred ghost hands suddenly stretched out from the wall and suddenly dragged the five of them into the shadow world.
There were five more shadows on the wall.
I thought the shadow world would be eerie and scary.
When the five people landed, they saw the sunny campus.
The sun is shining brightly here, the sunlight is shining on the playground, students are laughing and talking happily, it is no different from an ordinary school, there is no sense of gloom at all.
Wangzai Nan and Xiaomei exclaimed in surprise.
"It was clearly midnight just now, how come it's daytime as soon as I came in?"
"The school in the shadow world isn't run-down at all."
Looking at the youthful smiles on the students' faces, the two gradually relaxed their guard.
"Student days are still the best."
"Ah~ I miss the past."
Shen Wan broke the two people's fantasy, "They are not human."
Wangzai's face changed, and he felt the amulet in his palm was burning hot, then he came to his senses.
"Shit, I just..."
Chen Wan said indifferently: "Assimilation, you two were almost assimilated just now."
The two looked closely at the students around them and saw that they seemed innocent with bright smiles, but these smiles gave people a weird feeling.
It's like, a smile without any real smile, a numb and stiff smile.
The two men shuddered and clenched their amulets tightly, not daring to be careless again.
Shen Wan glanced at Yan'er thoughtfully.
This Yan'er looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, with long straight black hair and bangs. She looked well-behaved and quiet, and she was not assimilated just now.
Yan Er raised her hand to feel the sun, "The sun is bright, but there is no warmth at all."
"This is a virtual world after all, just treat it as an illusion."
Shen Wan looked around.
They were in the playground at the moment. Students were playing and frolicking in groups of three or five. Their laughter echoed in the air. If you listened carefully, you could hear a cold and ethereal feeling mixed in with the laughter, as if they were sneering.
"Do you want to look for them separately?" Chen Wan said, "The three of you go look for Lin Dadan and Lao Wu."
Wangzaiman refused without a second thought: "No!"
"Master, let's move together. It looks sunny here, but there is a weird atmosphere everywhere. We dare not walk around randomly."
Xiaomei nodded: "Yes, yes, yes."
Shen Wan didn't care. She looked at Li Hanting.
As soon as Li Hanting came in, his eyes were on those students. He looked around as if he was trying to find his sister.
"Master Shen, I'll listen to you." Li Hanting noticed her gaze and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Shen Wan said: "It can be done at the same time."
"Lin Dabing and Old Wu were both dragged into the shadow world. It's clear that it wants us in, too."
Li Hanting's heart trembled: "Could it... be Yanyan?"
Shen Wan shook his head: “I don’t know if it’s your sister, but there is more than one ghost here.”
Xiaomei heard the conversation between the two and covered her mouth in shock, "Are all these students?"
Chen Wan said quietly, "Don't be so startled. You need to blend in with them so that you won't be targeted."
Xiaomei felt like crying but had no tears. She regretted it so much. What a waste of time it was to explore such a dangerous place!
She won’t even play escape room anymore!
Led by Shen Wan, the four followed her.
The roads on campus are lined with lush trees, and the leaves seem to be blown by the wind, swaying gently.
However, no one could feel the presence of wind at all, they only saw the leaves swaying strangely.
Every student I met along the way had a bright smile on his face.
Chen Wan was different from them. She could clearly see that behind those smiles was a rotten and charred face, which was particularly terrifying.
She went to the teaching building first.
The classrooms on every floor are full of students.
The teacher was lecturing incessantly at the podium, while the students were sitting quietly below, ignoring the arrival of the five people.
Shen Wan glanced at the students. They were all burned to death, and each of them died in a tragic way.
Their eyes were empty and cold, and the teacher's voice was devoid of emotion.
Until the five people left the classroom.
The teachers and students all turned around, staring at them with lifeless eyes, with strange smiles on their lips.
Xiaomei always felt that something was wrong, so she looked back cautiously, and saw that they were all looking at her strangely.
"ah!"
She screamed and threw herself into Li Hanting's arms.
