Chapter 39: Chapter 39 Hard to recognize! These are the same two people!_1

Along with the whooshing fist wind, Su Yan’s heavy punch surged toward Lin Ruoxi’s delicate face.

Immediately afterward, a THUD was heard! The fist landed heavily on Lin Ruoxi’s face, caving it in.

CRACK... CRACK... CRACKLE!

At that moment, a series of breaking sounds echoed in the quiet storeroom.

The next moment, Lin Ruoxi’s exquisite little face was instantly covered in cracks.

Finally, her entire face shattered completely like a spiderweb, scattering all over the floor.

At the same time, Lin Ruoxi’s entire body suddenly sprang up as if electrocuted.

Then she stretched out her arms, desperately protecting her head, and bolted for the door in a mad dash.

Did she... resist that?

Su Yan was somewhat stunned by the scene before him.

He had thought that with that punch, the Lin Ruoxi before him would be critically wounded, if not dead.

But to his surprise, her face merely seemed to have collapsed; otherwise, she appeared mostly unharmed before she turned tail and ran without a second word.

Fleeing despite injury is a normal stress response driven by an organism’s survival instinct.

However, there was one very eerie point that made Su Yan’s skin crawl.

That was, Lin Ruoxi’s face had crumbled.

But, from beginning to end, she did not let out a single cry of pain, not even a slight grunt.

It was as if her pained expression and escape were just programmed responses, not driven by the biological instinct of physical pain.

Strange! Very strange! There’s a big problem!

Su Yan couldn’t afford to ponder and immediately rushed out of the storeroom, pursuing Lin Ruoxi.

No sooner had he left than the All Living Beings Buddha Statue behind him suddenly let out a CRACKLE! and a fissure split its face.

This made its already eerie assembly of faces seem all the more sinister.

The entire visage looked like a forced smile, inexplicably causing one’s heart to panic.

Even the nearby Thousand-handed Guanyin suddenly opened its hollow eyes and stared for a long time in the direction Su Yan had gone.

Then, its arms on both sides began morphing and multiplying, eventually detaching from its body and crawling out along the walls.

Su Yan was completely unaware of the bizarre scene unfolding in the storeroom.

He had already chased outside, disappearing into the deathly silent darkness.

Then, with bright, piercing eyes, he scanned everything around him.

A few seconds passed. The surroundings remained deathly still—so quiet one could hear a pin drop—with no trace of Lin Ruoxi.

Su Yan was somewhat puzzled.

The moment Lin Ruoxi escaped, he had reacted and chased after her.

And yet, in that brief instant, Lin Ruoxi had vanished so eerily, leaving not a single trace behind.

It was as if she had never existed in this world at all; everything was merely an illusion, much like the false comfort of viewing things through rose-tinted spectacles.

That thing... it’s over there...

Su Yan picked up on Lin Ruoxi’s scent—the smell of the mineral water that had just spilled on her.

Following the lingering water scent in the air, he arrived at a shelf and stopped.

The smell of mineral water was emanating from behind that shelf.

Su Yan was on high alert.

Every step was nearly silent as he cautiously approached the area behind the shelf.

When he rounded the shelf, the scene before him was not what he expected—there was no drenched, alluring beauty gasping for breath.

Instead, there was only a piece of rotten wood with a large split in one of its branches, lying still and lifeless on the ground, devoid of any vitality.

Looking at the rotten wood on the ground, Su Yan could vaguely make out a carved human face.

The carved face was exquisite: glistening eyes, an elegant, slightly upturned nose, and cherry-red lips...

Every feature of the face looked just as beautiful as Lin Ruoxi’s.

Without a doubt, the piece of rotten wood with the carved human face on the ground was Lin Ruoxi, who had just fled from the storeroom.

Only now, she had completely transformed from a graceful fairy into a lifeless piece of rotten wood, devoid of any sign of life.

Su Yan was deeply shaken.

Who could have imagined that such an unremarkable piece of rotten wood was, just moments ago, the beautiful and tender class president.

If the facts were not laid out before his eyes, he would still find it hard to believe.

That the class president, filled with such complex emotions just moments ago, had turned out to be this piece of rotten wood.

It all seemed too fantastical, quite beyond belief.

Speaking of which, this rotten wood... might it have something to do with the Puppet I encountered at Luo City Central Primary School?

Could there be a connection?

Su Yan looked at the piece of rotten wood on the ground, sinking into deep thought.

Just then, a cautious voice suddenly came from the darkness, "Who’s there? Who is that?"

Without a second thought, Su Yan blurted out, "It’s your dad!"

After a moment of silence, the voice in the darkness asked, "Su Yan, is that you?"

"It’s not your mom, it’s your dad!"

"Su Yan, it really is you!"

Hearing such a characteristic, biting retort, the person in the darkness visibly relaxed, certain it was Su Yan.

Soon, a figure emerged from the dark: a man with a receding hairline, a slightly plump figure, sporting a pair of black-framed glasses.

In Luo City Number One High School, only the Academic Director had such a greasy, middle-aged look.

The Academic Director, initially relieved by Su Yan’s sharp tongue,

suddenly became vigilant when he saw Su Yan was alone.

Just one person here...

Then this Su Yan in front of me is very likely a decoy, transformed from rotten wood.

Seems I’ll have to verify this...

The Academic Director muttered to himself before asking Su Yan aloud, "Su Yan, why are you alone? Where are the other two girls?"

The Director’s expression was puzzled, looking quite natural, but his voice sounded oddly stiff for some reason.

Su Yan gave the Director a quick once-over, then replied with a smile, "Director, you might not believe me, but they’re right behind you."

"Su Yan, now is not the time for jokes. Watch it, or I’ll discipline you when we get back."

The Academic Director’s voice was full of caution, though his face still wore a puzzled look.

The puzzled expression and wary tone were a complete mismatch, utterly uncoordinated.

"Really, Director, I’m not lying to you. If you don’t believe me, just turn around and look."

"Those two girls are standing right behind you, mouthing curses and calling you an idiot."

Damn it! You’re the idiot! Your whole family are idiots! The Academic Director cursed inwardly, then said with disbelief, "I’m not looking. I’ve got a feeling you’re trying to pull a fast one on me, you brat."

"Director, I’m really not lying. If I am, then I’m a dog’s son," Su Yan said, just short of swearing an oath to the heavens.

"I don’t believe you unless you pour boiling water on..."

Before the Academic Director could finish, Su Yan, with no regard for fair play, flashed forward.

He was tired of being sneaky and threw a heavy punch directly at the questionable Academic Director.

The punch was swift and fierce, generating a gust of wind and stirring up waves of air.

Swiftly, a loud THUD resounded!

There were no cries of pain, nor was there a single drop of blood.

All that remained were wood shavings dancing in the air, slowly fluttering down, piece by piece.

The Academic Director had been punched into pieces.

He then turned into a piece of rotten branch, which fell to the ground with a CLATTER, silent as the grave.

It turned out this so-called Academic Director was merely a piece of rotten wood in disguise.

The scene was all too familiar to Su Yan, an exact replica of when he had punched the Fox Demon to pieces.

The only difference was that one event resulted in a shower of fur, while the other produced a shower of wood shavings.

Such similar scenes... Could this also suggest some connection between the two?

TAP... TAP-TAP... TAP-TAP-TAP...

As Su Yan was lost in thought, the sound of footsteps began to echo from both his left and right.

Then, in the next moment, two somewhat blurred figures gradually emerged.

Due to the low visibility in the room and the distance to the two figures, Su Yan couldn’t immediately make out their faces.

TAP... TAP-TAP... TAP-TAP-TAP...

As the sound of footsteps drew closer, the figures’ features gradually came into clear view.

One of them was covered in wounds, their face a dreadful pallor, as if they had just survived a fierce battle.

The other was immaculately dressed, not a wrinkle in their garments, their features composed and proper.

At first glance, they looked like two entirely different people; however, upon closer inspection, it became apparent their faces were exactly the same.

Both were the principal of Luo City Number One High School...
