Don't come any closer!

"Don't come over!!!"

This was a phrase Jiang Xuan often came across while browsing short videos, and it was also Jiang Xuan's most genuine thought at this moment!

He suddenly retreated, and after his mind raced, he immediately decided to run!

But not to escape, but to run directly towards his destination: the Dean's office!

Anyway, at least for now, Chen Ruoxun hadn't caused him any harm, she just looked a bit scary.

And he couldn't deal with Chen Ruoxun, so he simply ignored her and ran, hoping to shake her off.

Once he got his hands on that mysterious item related to the martial dao sacred remains, he wouldn't care about this Chen Ruoxun, who had died and come back to life but looked very much like a ghost. He would just leave directly then.

With this thought, Jiang Xuan leaped directly to the stairwell. As soon as he looked up, he saw Chen Ruoxun blocking his way on the stairs, her expression no longer lively, but like a wax figure.

"Classmate Jiang Xuan, why aren't you paying attention to me? Did I make you angry?"

Jiang Xuan frowned, pretended not to see her, dodged past her, and continued running upstairs.

The moment he passed her, a chilling coldness brushed against Jiang Xuan's skin, and Chen Ruoxun truly did not make a move.

Jiang Xuan ran a few more steps, reaching the corner of the stairs, but he didn't see the large hole he had punched out last time.

"I heard that historical fragments in Secret Realms are like this; some of the buildings automatically restore to their state at the moment they became historical fragments..."

But this was not the time to study such things. Jiang Xuan turned to see if Chen Ruoxun had followed, and as he turned, Chen Ruoxun's face was right behind him, almost touching his nose.

"Classmate Jiang Xuan, if you keep ignoring me, I won't ignore you either!"

It was the same lifeless voice, and the mouth on that face moved mechanically. Perhaps because they were close, Jiang Xuan suddenly smelled a faint scent of blood and decay.

After the previous scares, Jiang Xuan found that he had actually adapted. He chose to ignore her directly, bypassed her again, and continued upstairs. He had only taken a few steps when Chen Ruoxun indeed appeared at the stairwell on the second floor again.

"What exactly is this thing..."

He couldn't hit it, and it didn't actively attack; it was just a bit scary. Jiang Xuan admitted he was indeed confused.

He had thought Chen Ruoxun would invite him to accompany her again, but just as he stepped onto the second floor, Chen Ruoxun's tone suddenly became extremely panicked.

"Don't go there! Classmate Jiang Xuan, don't go there! All the other Classmates died there! Only I survived, only I escaped!"

It was still a lifeless tone, but this time it carried a panic that Jiang Xuan felt very clearly.

He was a bit speechless, because, putting everything else aside, Chen Ruoxun was clearly dead too... there was no such thing as only she surviving.

Jiang Xuan continued to ignore her. After discerning his surroundings, he walked towards the corridor on the right.

Logically, after the stairs on the second floor, there should be stairs leading to the third floor.

But strangely, the layout of this abandoned hospital was peculiar; according to the signs on the wall, the stairs to the third floor were actually in another corridor.

"Don't go! Absolutely don't go! You'll die! You'll be killed! Classmate Jiang Xuan, please!"

Chen Ruoxun's voice was tinged with pleading, and her figure flashed in front of Jiang Xuan again.

But her expression remained as wooden as ever, like a poor-quality wax figure.

Jiang Xuan was too lazy to care. He skillfully bypassed Chen Ruoxun's figure and walked all the way to the corner where the two corridors met.

Without surprise, Chen Ruoxun's figure once again blocked the corner.

"Classmate Jiang Xuan, it's fine if you ignore me, but please, listen to me just this once. This is your last chance; absolutely don't go there! It's too dangerous ahead, you won't escape!"

There was even a hint of a sob in Chen Ruoxun's words.

If it weren't for that expressionless face and emotionless tone, Jiang Xuan might have almost believed her.

He didn't think twice and directly turned the corner.

Crack!

A huge axe came from the front, chopping directly at him!

Jiang Xuan reacted almost instinctively, rolling to the left, and then stood up.

Then, he saw his attacker.

It looked like a person, but not entirely human.

Because it had three heads: a child's head, a youth's head, and an old man's head.

Other than that, it had a normal human body, holding a fire axe with both hands.

A strong smell of decay wafted over, but it wasn't from this three-headed monster, but from behind the three-headed monster.

Jiang Xuan's face instantly flushed red, due to anger in his heart.

He saw a pile of bodies lying haphazardly behind the three-headed monster.

The bodies of his Classmates.

The first among them was Chen Ruoxun's headless body, her off-white dress stained with blood.

Then, there were the bodies of the other eight Classmates who had entered the Secret Realm with him, all uniformly missing their heads, leaving only their torsos.

Chen Ruoxun's figure appeared again, this time kneeling on the ground, her expressionless face covered in tears, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Wuwu, Classmate Jiang Xuan, quickly, run, you can't beat him. Actually, actually, I didn't escape either. We... the eight of us teamed up, but we were still killed by this Bizarre Monster. You must run!"

At this moment, Jiang Xuan finally understood. It turned out that the figure of Chen Ruoxun, who looked like a human and a ghost, only wanted to save him.

When they were on the first floor, she wanted to trick him into teaming up with her, and then probably wanted to take him somewhere else, not to go up to the second floor.

Seeing him go up to the second floor, she started to try her best to stop him.

He had misunderstood all along.

There was really danger here.

"Don't worry, Classmate Chen Ruoxun, I..."

Jiang Xuan tightened his grip on the coiling dragon axe in his left hand.

"...will avenge you."

Roar!!!

The next moment, the coiling dragon axe suddenly shone brightly, emitting a viscous black light, and a shocking Dragon roar sounded.

The three faces of the three-headed monster, which had been full of ferocity, instantly became extremely terrified, emitting meaningless "ah ah" sounds, seemingly begging for mercy, or perhaps crying.

But it was no use; it was confined in place, and then a huge phantom of a Dragon appeared in mid-air.

Jiang Xuan's mind moved, and the Dragon phantom bit down fiercely!

Crack!

First, its first head was gnawed off. The three-headed monster trembled all over in pain, and its other two heads streamed with tears, their expressions twisted to the extreme.

Crack!

The Dragon phantom bit down again, gnawing off its second head.

The three-headed monster trembled all over from the intense pain, emitting sounds that made one feel as if it were suffering Hellish torment.

Jiang Xuan was expressionless, continuing to control the Dragon phantom, biting down mouthful by mouthful.

First its left arm, then its left leg, then its right side, then its right arm... He made the Dragon phantom bite more than a dozen times before stopping.

With the Dragon phantom's last bite, the three-headed monster screamed and vanished from the world.

With a dull thud, something fell out of its body.

At the same time, Jiang Xuan clearly felt that the heart-shaped small hammer in his space box suddenly lit up!
