89: Chapter 89 Curse and Rescue

"Captain, there seems to be someone upstairs!" They did not rashly enter the Teaching Building, but instead turned their heads to look at their captain.

"Set up a Talisman formation at the stairwell to prevent any Ghost from cutting off our retreat." After thinking it over, Long Feiyuan said to his team members.

A few minutes later, everyone had set up multiple Talisman formations at the stairwell.

"Go upstairs!" After safety measures were in place, Long Feiyuan was the first to climb the stairs.

They did not go directly to the third floor, but instead arrived in front of the classroom on the second floor near the stairs and looked inside.

All the students in the classroom were slumped over their desks. The Yang Qi in their bodies was slowly draining away. It was estimated that they could only hold on for another ten minutes or so before those students would die from their Yang Qi being completely exhausted.

"Everyone, use the Cleansing Talisman to slow down the rate at which the students' Yang Qi is draining." Long Feiyuan gave the order decisively.

"Understood!" The five team members replied quickly.

Long Feiyuan took out a Cleansing Talisman and silently recited the Cleansing Divine Incantation: "Spirit Treasure Heavenly Lord, comfort the body, the Disciple's soul, the five viscera mysterious and dark..."

As the last word fell, the Cleansing Talisman spontaneously ignited in mid-air, transforming into dozens of golden lights that submerged into the bodies of all the students.

The Talismans they carried were limited, so they could only use one Talisman to protect dozens of students.

And because their own strength was limited, they could not completely stop the loss of Yang Qi, only slightly slow down the rate of its loss.

After finishing all this, they continued to head upstairs.

There seems to be footsteps over there, who could it be?

On the corridor, Liu Hebi, who was leaning against the wall, heard the sound coming from ahead, and he subconsciously stopped his footsteps.

"Is that a teacher on night patrol?" Listening to the approaching footsteps, Liu Hebi gathered his courage and asked.

When Long Feiyuan arrived on the third-floor corridor, what he saw was a slightly chubby student whose two Yang Fire flames on his shoulders were close to extinguishing, and the Yang Qi in his body was also slowly draining away.

And behind that student, a pitch-black humanoid shadow was clinging to his back, its hands covering the student's eyes and ears.

"A low-level evil Ghost!" Long Feiyuan immediately recognized the strength of the shadow Ghost before him.

That shadow Ghost seemed not to have noticed Long Feiyuan, still just staring at Liu Hebi beneath it.

There was no time for him to think; saving the person was urgent.

He immediately took out another Talisman, arrived behind Liu Hebi in the blink of an eye, and stuck the Talisman onto the back of the shadow, while simultaneously injecting True Qi. Several bolts of lightning erupted from the Talisman.

Amidst the flashing lightning, the extremely rigid and extremely Yang lightning instantly killed the shadow Ghost.

Liu Hebi only felt a sudden lightness in his body, and he didn't feel so cold anymore. The faint light around him entered his vision, and the faint sound of wind came to his ears.

Although he didn't know what happened, he could see again, and he could hear again.

At the same time, the remaining seven team members also arrived on the corridor.

"Oh my god! Lightbulbs have become sentient!"

The seven large golden lightbulbs that suddenly appeared startled Liu Hebi. He subconsciously retreated, but felt as if he had bumped into something behind him.

He looked up and saw that, at some point, another large golden lightbulb was standing behind him.

"Ah!" Liu Hebi screamed, waving his palms around in a panic, attempting to drive away the large lightbulb in front of him.

"Student, you don't need to..." Long Feiyuan began.

Just as he was about to comfort the student in front of him, the golden light covering his body shattered the moment it touched the other party's palm. A beam of black light shot out from Liu Hebi's hand and, in the blink of an eye, submerged into Long Feiyuan's body.

Everything happened in a split second, so fast that he didn't even have time to react.

"Damn it! It's a trap!" Long Feiyuan stumbled backward, a look of pain appearing on his face.

"Captain!" Everyone exclaimed, wanting to step forward to check on their captain's condition.

"Don't come over, it's a curse at the Fierce Ghost level." Long Feiyuan shouted hurriedly.

Large patches of corpse spots had already begun to appear on his body, and he could feel his body decaying rapidly.

Long Feiyuan decisively took out all the remaining Cleansing Talismans he had on him and began to quickly recite the Cleansing Divine Incantation.

Nine Cleansing Talismans transformed into several golden lights that submerged into his body. Although the spread of the corpse spots on his body was restrained, the curse on him was still not eliminated.

On the outer wall of the fourth floor, a skeleton was hanging there, though it was unknown when it had appeared.

It tilted its head and looked down at the people below, its empty eye sockets showing no emotion.

"Yang Qi! Such rich Yang Qi! The prey has taken the bait!"

A piercing voice resounded through the corridor, and everyone's expressions changed drastically.

"Run!"

...

On a rooftop on the other side of the West District, Lu Siye had just come out of the Tianhai City National Hospital not long ago when he received a message from the Evil Suppression Bureau.

He took out his phone and opened it to see that it was a distress message.

"Long Feiyuan's team has lost signal at Tianhai No. 3 Middle School for over ten minutes, suspected of encountering a Fierce Ghost. Please, Night Wanderer responsible for this area, proceed to rescue as soon as possible."

"Damn it, it's actually a school." Lu Siye remembered the group of students he saw on the bus yesterday afternoon.

He quickly checked the distance from the hospital to the No. 3 Middle School. In a straight line, it was about nearly nine kilometers.

Lu Siye did not delay. He directly grabbed Fang Lanyue by the neck, identified the direction, and said to her: "Are you ready for a joyride!"

" ( ⊙ _ ⊙ ) What?" Fang Lanyue hadn't reacted yet when she felt a blur before her eyes. The surrounding scenery became blurry and was retreating at an extremely fast speed.

[Oh my god! I'm dying, I'm dying, my neck is going to break! Fear Value +999!]

[...]

At this moment, Lu Siye was sprinting at the fastest speed of his life. He ignored the ghostly wailing in Fang Lanyue's heart and even kind of wanted to give her a roller coaster experience.

But on second thought, he decided against it. After all, she wouldn't be able to run away for the rest of her life, so he could squeeze her anytime; there was no need to rush.

His only hope now was that those students and the members of the Evil Suppression Bureau were still alive, and that the Ghost suspected of being a Fierce Ghost had not yet left the school.

After all, those were all his Fear Value... ah, ptooey, Energy Points.

The straight-line distance of nine kilometers, at a speed much faster than a high-speed train, took him just over a minute to reach Tianhai No. 3 Middle School.

On the road in front of the empty school gate, two figures suddenly appeared.

Fortunately, there were no passersby near the school late at night, otherwise, they would inevitably suspect they had seen a Ghost.

The large campus, which should have been in the middle of evening self-study, was pitch black at this moment, without a single sound.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

The Red Blood Blade in the sword case on Lu Siye's back had been vibrating frantically ever since they arrived here; it had already sensed the dense Yin Qi.
