Chapter 412: Chapter 412: A Slap

At this moment, Gu Ling observed the teaching building for a while, her chin in her hand. This uneasy feeling hung around her. She couldn’t understand what was going on with this building tonight.

Jie started to worry a bit, "Hey, Xiaoling, how long are you going to stare at it? If there’s nothing, I’m going back to the dorm. Everyone’s waiting for me to play games."

"Something’s wrong, definitely wrong. There’s something unusual about this building tonight. We have to check it out." Gu Ling finally made up her mind to take this step, but Jie opposed: " What’s so unusual? Yang Xinran and her boyfriend just went in and came out safely."

"Really?" Gu Ling frowned slightly, then bravely took the first step. Following with the second step, she walked into the building.

"Ah, Gu Fan, your sister is such a headache." Jie did not feel right leaving Gu Ling alone. What if something happened? Therefore, he also followed.

The dark teaching building, not a single light was on. Jie and Gu Ling couldn’t find a switch, groped their way up the stairs.

The closer they get, the more nervous Gu Ling was. Her heartbeat accelerated and she tightly grasped Jie’s arm, almost hurting him.

When Gu Ling and Jie were about to reach the third floor, they glanced and found three men standing in the corridor. Tall and confident, with crossed arms, appearing as they would allow no one to pass.

Jie was silently astonished. How strange it was for three men to stand in the corridor at such a late hour?

Gu Ling knew her premonition was not wrong. The three men’s stance signaled they didn’t want anyone to approach. Perhaps there was something inside the classroom on the third floor. They had to investigate.

Jie started to message Gu Fan and Lu Yi, but the signal was poor. The message could not be sent, meaning they had no backup.

"What should we do Xiaoling, let’s get out of here, this might not be something we can handle." Jie was very worried, not knowing what to expect, while also concerned about Gu Ling’s safety.

All the while, Gu Ling gestured for silence, "I’m very curious. I want to see exactly what is inside the classroom. Jie, I need your help to distract them."

"Are you kidding me, what if something goes wrong?" Jie wanted to say something more, but Gu Ling suddenly pushed him, revealing him to the three men.

Now, Jie stood exposed in front of those three. He clenched his teeth secretly, exasperated. No wonder Gu Fan complained about his sister.

Despite the odds, Jie didn’t back down. He confronted the three men and said, "What are you guys doing here so late at night? This is very suspicious. I’m going to report it to the school teachers." He took a step as if to leave.

Seeing this, the three men hurried to catch up. Jie took off running without hesitation, internally praying: "Xiaoling, I have diverted them. The rest is up to you."

Two of the men went after Jie, leaving one still at his post. This made Gu Ling feel in a spot of trouble, but she quickly thought of a plan—she ran to the second floor and pressed the elevator button, causing it to stop on the third floor.

As such, when the elevator arrived at the third floor and the door opened, it caught the attention of the man staying behind. He didn’t see anyone exit the elevator, but noticed a backpack in the corner. He wondered if someone was hiding inside the elevator.

To confirm his suspicion, he moved a few steps towards the elevator. His attention was completely focused on it. During this time, Gu Ling secretly maneuvered past him and headed straight for the corridor.

Gu Ling knew that once the man realized there was not a person in the elevator, he would return to post. If so, he would see Gu Ling. So before he noticed her, she quickly chose a classroom and hid inside.

"Faster, faster!" Among the six classrooms on this floor, Gu Ling picked one and rushed in. She moved so abruptly that she accidentally knocked over some desks and chairs, creating a racket.

Gu Ling was startled, thinking this would surely attract the man from outside. However, he wouldn’t know which classroom it was coming from, right? Maybe hiding would work.

So Gu Ling quickly hid behind the desks and chairs. Just as she took cover, she noticed another person inside the classroom. She was almost scared out of her skin and had a near escape.

But when Gu Ling looked back, she saw the figure in the dark classroom. The person was sitting cross-legged, seemingly asleep.

Things were not right. Perhaps the man outside was guarding this person. The strange feeling Gu Ling experienced might have stemmed from this. Thinking this, Gu Ling gathered her courage and approached.

Unexpectedly, it was a girl. She was quite pretty but behaved oddly. Sitting cross-legged was one thing, but the hand gesture she made was very unusual.

Gu Ling cautiously touched the girl’s body with her fingers. Absolutely no response.

"What a strange person? Hey, are you alive?" Gu Ling spoke while trying to elicit a response. She found the girl was breathing, but there was absolutely no response to sound or touch. It was very strange.

Gu Ling touched her hair, clothes, called out several times, tested her responses, but got no reaction. Gu Ling then searched the girl’s pocket, but found no useful information.

Meanwhile, Lin Xi was embroiled in a tough fight. Every time she knocked her opponents down, they got back up and surrounded her, leaving no room for escape. Lin Xi’s supernatural power and physical strength were declining. She regretted facing them alone.

Seeing Lin Xi struggling, Yang Xinran sneered, "Sorry second elder sister, looks like you can’t escape. Why not surrender gracefully? It will save us some energy, and I won’t have to call eldest sister."

"Really?" Lin Xi maintained a facade of strength, although she was aware of her disadvantage. She couldn’t hit the opponent’s real body or escape. Was there really no way out?

Meanwhile, Jie had not managed to run away and was pinned down by the two pursuers, his mouth covered.

After a few attempts, Gu Ling felt helpless. She sat cross-legged and stared at the mysterious girl. She wanted to know who she was and why she was here?

"Whatever, let’s try this one." Unable to wait any longer, Gu Ling decided, raising her hand high and slapped the mysterious girl’s face.
