Chapter 358: Chapter 167 ’Grey Mist Invasion

"Liangzi, had you never encountered this situation before?" Lin Yi glanced at Wei Liang and asked.

Wei Liang shook his head, "I seldom walk at night, so it’s normal that I haven’t encountered it."

"Oh..." Lin Yi responded.

Suddenly, Wei Liang exclaimed, "Shit," startling Lin Yi.

"Crap crap crap..." Wei Liang trembled, his hand pointing towards the direction of the "Cafeteria-001" lamppost, his voice fluctuating as if it had turned into electronic noise, "Old, old, Old Lin... Is that... you know who?!"

Lin Yi followed the direction Wei Liang was pointing and immediately felt a chill run down his spine.

Under the "Cafeteria-001" lamppost, there seemed to be a figure facing the wall, and that figure looked like...

"Zhou Yuting?"

Wei Liang was also startled and seemed to remember something. He muttered, "Now that I think about it... I saw her when I left the cafeteria, she was on the other passageway back then, and the lights in the cafeteria flashed, probably she didn’t enter the cafeteria. I don’t know how she ended up under the lamppost now."

Lin Yi drew a breath of cold air and hurriedly shook his head, "Let’s not bother with her... Better mind our own business, besides, at this hour whether she is still human is debatable."

Wei Liang shivered and quickly nodded.

The two of them immediately located the "Dormitory Building-001" lamppost and then embarked on that path.

...

Under the "Cafeteria-001" lamppost, "Zhou Yuting" acted like a mentally disturbed patient, her head butting against the lamppost, her body slightly convulsing.

From another angle, it became apparent she wasn’t facing the wall but actually pressing her face against the lamppost, like an addict greedily inhaling the white painted words of "Cafeteria-001," and as she continued to inhale, the white paint outlined words actually began to emit faint white dust particles...

As these white dust particles dispersed, the light from the "Cafeteria-001" lamppost was becoming dimmer and dimmer...

...

May 8, X023, Teaching Building B, Teacher’s Office, "Group B Class 2".

Li Huiyuan sat cautiously on the sofa, unsure of what to do, her glance intermittently resting on the wall clock then shifting to the Class Teacher-040.

Class Teacher-040 seemed to be tallying a list of student names in a blue folder neck tilted.

Li Huiyuan didn’t understand why, when they had already called the roll once, there was a need to tally it again.

Suddenly, Class Teacher-040 looked up at the wall clock, then sorted the documents on the desk and smiled, "Time is almost up."

Li Huiyuan pressed her lips together, feeling even more nervous and uncomfortable.

When the clock struck 20:00, Class Teacher-040 walked to the front of the office and silently waited.

’Tick-tock! Tick-tock! Tick-tock...’

Every second passed, and the silence in the office was terrifying, making Li Huiyuan feel more on edge.

Finally, there was a knock from outside.

’Thump! Thump! Thump...’

The sound was heavy, like a drum.

"Is it the delivery?" Class Teacher-040 asked calmly.

"I am ’Chef-0213’..." The voice from outside paused for a moment, then continued, "See for yourself."

Class Teacher-040 slid open the peephole, looked outside, and then, silently opened the door.

Li Huiyuan followed and saw a chef dressed in a blue apron, holding a lunchbox standing at the office door.

The chef in the blue apron seemed to sense Li Huiyuan’s gaze, slightly shifted his eyes, and then his view crossed Class Teacher-040 to rest on Li Huiyuan. He then anticipated something and asked in a deep voice, "Is there a problem?"

Class Teacher-040 slightly nodded.

The chef-0213 remained calm: "Take her to the school doctor, or...?"

"No school doctor." Class Teacher-040 looked at Li Huiyuan, shook her head, and said, "Her spirit is very high, there’s a more suitable path for her... Is the security guard around?"

"I’m here." A deep and even voice, seemingly with a tranquilizing magic power similar to bell chimes, emanated from the darkness outside the Teaching Building.

Then, a silhouette resembling a towering iron tower holding an old kerosene lamp, parted the darkness and mist, slowly appearing at the office door.

Seeing the old kerosene lamp, Class Teacher-040 behind Li Huiyuan unconsciously trembled, her eyes repeatedly flashed with golden light, but ultimately it dispersed like egg whites meeting water.

The security guard seemed completely unaware of Li Huiyuan’s presence, only gazing down at the Class Teacher, quietly waiting for her next words.

Class Teacher-040 said, "Please take her to the gymnasium."

The security guard, like a cold Terminator, was silent for a moment, then simply said, "No problem."

Class Teacher-040 paused momentarily, then inquired, "Grey Mist Invasion, will she make it safely?"

The security guard then glanced at Li Huiyuan and coldly said, "Whether she makes it or not depends not on me, but on her."

Class Teacher-040 then gestured for Li Huiyuan to come out, instructing further, "Most of what needed to be said has already been said to you. Now, just stick close to the security guard, he will take you to the gymnasium."

"Whatever happens along the way, don’t stray from the security guard’s side even for a moment; he will take care of any crises."

"Remember, at any time, in any place, the security guard is absolutely trustworthy."

Li Huiyuan glanced warily at the security guard, then clenched her teeth: "Okay, Teacher... I understand."

Class Teacher-040 smiled and gently patted her head: "Don’t worry, everything will be all right."
