“Boom”, the desks and chairs were lifted by the monster’s fleshy filaments.

The corpse behind Ji Mingxia was slammed back with a dull sound, and something suddenly came up to Ji Mingxia.

Ji Mingxia was startled, he reflexively raised his hand and managed to block it.

But at this instant, the red light went out and the world fell into darkness.

Ji Mingxia was tense and his body was slightly curved, ready for an attack, but also ready for the ring's protection.

He stared ahead with a high degree of concentration, but strangely, nothing happened.

It was as if everything around was silenced the moment darkness engulfed the room.

The sound of footsteps and the screams disappeared, and there was peace to his ears, as if Ji Mingxia was the only living person. 

Ji Mingxia was stunned, he raised his head in shock and looked around vigilantly. One hand remained stretched out in front of his body, while the other hand reached back.

At the moment when the lights went out, there was a black shadow in front of him and a corpse in the back. He was facing the direction of the black shadow, while Yu Ning helped block the corpse.

In theory, Yu Ning should be behind him.

But at this moment, Ji Mingxia’s hand touched space.

There was nothing behind him, and there was no sign of Yu Ning.

Ji Mingxia was immediately confused.  He stood in place and waited with bated breath. When he was sure that there was nothing around him, he could not help but whisper: “Yu Ning?”

His voice was like a ripple that reverberated in a circle around him and formed an echo before it was transmitted back.

The sound overlapped as it passed back and forth, slowly turning into a thin sound that was infinitely elongated, making one unable but to feel panic as they listened.

Ji Mingxia hurriedly covered his mouth, not daring to make any more sound.

He took a few more steps back, but didn’t touch people, nor tables and chairs. After confirming that he was now in a very odd environment, Ji Mingxia clenched the hand with the ring and brought it to his chest, ready to fight at any time, while the other hand touched his pocket.

He took his phone out and unlocked it.

The screen lit up, and Ji Mingxia looked down only to see that there was no signal.

This was not the first time this kind of thing had happened so Ji Mingxia was very calm. He opened the flashlight, and then shone it around.

Ji Mingxia looked around and only felt a chill run down his spike, making his hands and feet numb.

He was no longer in the classroom.

In just a blink of an eye, it was as if he had been moved to another place, and was now in a small space.

Apart from noticing the familiar floor tiles, Ji Mingxia could no longer observe where he actually was.

Because at this moment, thousands of items floated before him. They circled him and completely blocked the surrounding scenery. All Ji Mingxia could see were tens of thousands of various items.

There was jewelry, utensils,  all kinds of animal bones etc.

The most terrifying thing was that there were also corpses ……

Some were animal corpses, some looked like humans, Ji Mingxia even saw a complete head. Its long hair floated out, and the hollow eyes faced his direction. Ji Mingxia sucked in a breath of cold air and could not help but take a small step back.

Once he backed up, those things came closer, always keeping a distance of about two meters from him.

Seeing this, Ji Mingxia’s legs went weak and he almost went limp. 

These things …… they couldn’t all be mysterious items, right?

How could there be so many mysterious items gathered here, as if gathered for a meeting…

“I accidentally broke in, I didn’t mean to.” Ji Mingxia smiled dryly and said to them.

Although most mysterious items were non living, one or two pieces could have developed intelligence. Ji Mingxia tried to maintain a humble demeanor and whispered: “I didn't mean to disturb you guys …… I’ll leave now.”

His voice kept reverberating all around, causing his head to hurt.

He instinctively resisted the sound, and unconsciously frowned as he covered his ears and carefully backed up.

He was surrounded by mysterious items so his back also had a large number of things blocking him. With every step he took, the mysterious items followed would wriggled over layer by layer.

The feeling was terrifying, as if they were making way for themselves.

Seeing them cascading and moving around to change positions, Ji Mingxia backed up while apologizing in a whisper, deeply afraid of triggering the discontent of these things.

After about five or six minutes of walking, Ji Mingxia finally came to a position by the door.

He was afraid that these things would follow him out, but fortunately, they slowly dispersed like a tidal wave when he came to the door, making way for Ji Mingxia.

Ji Mingxia hurriedly grasped the opposite and ran out in a single stride.

The pile of mysterious items was still floating in the room and did not follow Ji Mingxia out.

Ji Mingxia breathed a sigh of relief, only to realize that his body was drenched in cold sweat in the middle of winter.

This was not the first time he had dealt with mysterious items but anyone would panic when a large number appeared and surrounded them.

Although he knew that most mysterious items don’t have a consciousness and were just a special tool. But back in that room, Ji Mingxia felt as if he was being stared at by thousands of eyes.

“It seems like they were in a good mood today and let me go ……” he muttered in a small voice, quickly walking away to look for an exit.

The flashlight on his phone was still on, and the scene it illuminated made Ji Mingxia stunned.

Because he was currently standing in the corridor of the high school dormitory building.

One second he was in the classroom, and the next second, he was in the dormitory building?

Was it the effect of the mysterious items? Was the space distorted?

Ji Mingxia thought about the thousands of mysterious items in the room and felt his scalp tingle.

Each mysterious item has a special ability, so many gathered together simply meant death.

No wonder the entire area from the school to the hotel was blocked off, it was dangerous if anyone had access, even Pei Yuan might have a hard time moving around. 

Thinking of this, Ji Mingxia looked through the window of the building only to see a chaotic darkness around, even the mobile phone light could not illuminate the area. From his perspective, it was impossible to tell which dormitory he was in and which floor he was on.

Although he didn’t know what was going on elsewhere, it was better than sharing a room with the huge pile of mysterious items.

Thinking that he had just been on the verge of life and death, Ji Mingxia did not dare to delay and hurriedly seized the time to quickly escape from here.

Ji Mingxia who hurried downstairs did not notice that after he left, the door of the dormitory was slowly closed and the room number on the door was presented.

201, it was the same dormitory that Ji Mingxia lived in when he first crossed over six months ago.

****

Ji Mingxia crossed the corridor and walked down the stairs. When he walked past the last stairway and his feet hit the ground, he only saw a sudden blur before his eyes.

When he lifted his head again, he found that he was no longer in the dormitory building, but in a hotel room.

“Sure enough, the school and the hotel, and perhaps the nearby residential buildings are in a distorted space. Which was why the rescuers failed to rescue anyone even when they tried getting into the hotel room from a high altitude.”

“When they tried going through the window, they fell into this chaotic space, and when they landed, they probably found themselves not in the hotel but the school ……” Ji Minxia muttered.

Whoever entered would get trapped in the chaotic space and could not find a way to escape.

It would have been better if it was just a chaotic space that became a labyrinth. Although it would cause great trouble and distress, at least one could survive.

But there was not only a labyrinth here, but also terrifying monsters.

Ji Mingxia remembered the corpse that suddenly moved, and the monster covered with fleshy filaments and shivered, he even looked around more vigilantly.

He and Yu Ning were linked by fate, so if he was still intact, it meant that Yu Ning was also unharmed. So the top priority should be to find Yu Ning as soon as possible.

With this in mind, Ji Mingxia quickened his steps and scurried back and forth in the surroundings.

During this period, he also encountered some strange movements, thanks to his sharper than normal senses, Ji Mingxia would quickly take cover when he heard strange noises and manage to avoid unforeseen incidents.

After continuously running for half an hour, Ji Mingxia gradually mastered the laws of this distorted space.

Each room was a unit, but because the hotel and school covered a relatively large area, he’d end up moving in these two places most of the time.

He'd find himself in the school building, multimedia building, gymnasium, cafeteria and other places when warped in the school.

Fortunately, most of the places he’d warp to in the hotel and school were empty.

Although the warp was random, the repetition rate was very low. Ji Mingxia ran for half an hour and managed not to enter the same room twice.

Funan County was not large, the hotel and the school covered a reasonable area, so according to his calculations, he should soon return to the classroom Liu Lin opened if he kept his current speed.

He only hoped Yu Ning was still waiting from there.

With this in mind, Ji Mingxia became even more energetic.

Ever since he came out of the room full of mysterious items, he felt like he was fully charged and full of energy. He ran for a long time without feeling thirsty or hungry.

It was rare that he was in such good shape and Ji Mingxia immediately seized the opportunity to continue to look for the way back.

After ten more minutes of running, Ji Mingxia crossed a flight of stairs and saw a red light in front of him. In the next moment, Ji Mingxia saw the flashing emergency light in front of him.

He was so happy that he hurriedly looked around and found that he was back in the initial classroom.

The red light was spread around, and it was still as scarlet and blinding.

The door Liu Lin had opened was closed, the dead body that was lying on the ground had disappeared, and the monster, covered with fleshy filaments, was also gone.

Not only that, but Yu Ning and the three girls were also gone.

“Yu Ning, are you still there …… Liu Lin? Wei Zhen?” Ji Mingxia couldn’t help but call out in a small voice.

His voice echoed in the classroom, but there was nothing else but the silent tables and chairs.

Ji Mingxia searched around and didn’t see anyone, so he was a little disappointed.

Just when he was hesitating on whether to wait for Yu Ning to return, a low whimper came from behind the classroom podium.

Ji Mingxia was startled, but after listening for a while, he found that there was no danger, only the sound of crying. He went up against the wall, slowly approaching in that direction, and looked in the direction of the lecture table when he was a few meters away.

A thin figure emerged from under the podium and looked over.

By the red light, Ji Mingxia saw her face clearly, and after a moment of bewilderment, he slowly daid, “Are you …… Xiao Qi?”

The person standing in front of Ji Mingxia at this time was none other than the missing girl who was captured by the shadow earlier.
