147: Chapter 147 Elder's clone presses in, Bai Jingchen transforms his body into paper.

White paper blocked the moonlight.

The darkness after Jiang University lost power was illuminated by a pale white paper-light.

Exam papers, posters, old newspapers, and club flyers flew out from the teaching buildings, dormitories, and the Library, swirling around the playground.

Someone looked up and saw this scene, and the iron pipe in their hand dropped to the ground.

"Mr. Ghost..."

The boy who had just been shouting to hand over the girls was kneeling in the mud, his mouth still sealed by a strip of paper.

He couldn't make a sound, only kowtow desperately.

Fat Dragon's eyes turned red, and he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Brother Bai is awesome!"

The next second, the playground erupted.

"Brother Bai is awesome!"

"Mr. Ghost is awesome!"

"Jiang University will not kneel!"

Chiba Sakura stood outside the East Gate, her hand gripping her sword pausing for a moment.

She had seen Espers before.

She had seen those who used fire, earth, and water.

But she had never seen a person turn an entire school into a battlefield.

"Playing god."

She raised her hand.

Three Genin climbed onto the roof of the dormitory building and threw black-purple poison pills down the ventilation shafts.

Poisonous smoke poured into the girls' dormitory along the corridors.

More than a dozen students had barely inhaled a breath before they clutched their throats and fell to the ground, black spots emerging on their skin.

Xu Mengmeng rushed over, green light glowing in her hands.

But just as she pressed her hand against one person's chest, another person began to convulse.

"I can't save them all!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a stack of paper strips flew in from the stairwell.

Slap.

Slap.

Slap.

The paper strips stuck to the poisoned students' chests.

Two words emerged on them: [Poison Stopped].

The black spots stopped spreading.

The poisonous smoke seemed to be pressed back by a hand, flowing back through the ventilation ducts into the sewers.

Two screams came from the sewers.

Xu Mengmeng opened her mouth; the green light in her palms was still glowing, but for the first time, she didn't know where to put it.

So, Bai Jingchen didn't just hide in the back and send out paper strips.

He had been covering for everyone all along.

Outside the dormitory area, more than a dozen ninjas lunged toward the building entrance in the darkness.

Their shadows were elongated by the residual light of the street lamps.

Paper strips fell and stuck to their shadows.

[Cannot Move].

A dozen people froze simultaneously.

Swords were raised in mid-air.

Feet were stepping on the stairs.

They couldn't even blink their eyelids.

Fat Dragon led his people charging out, raising a fire axe to smash.

"Who was chasing me just now?"

Bang!

"Don't move!"

Bang!

"Let me think!"

The skinny guy wielded a short spear to finish them off, cursing faster than he moved.

"Don't you guys know how to turn invisible? Keep going! Glitched, are you?"

Blood splattered at the entrance of the dormitory.

Crying came from the girls' dormitory.

But this time, it wasn't despair.

A girl who had just been crying and retreating suddenly picked up an iron rod from the ground and smashed it into a ninja's knee with her eyes closed.

At the East Gate, Chiba Sakura's expression darkened.

"Demolition."

Four Genin dragged explosive packs and rushed toward the iron gate.

Xu Qiangwei stood behind the machine gun position, her voice hoarse.

"Suppress them!"

Gunfire rang out.

Two explosive packs still rolled to the bottom of the gate.

Boom!

Fire exploded.

The iron gate turned red and bent, but it did not fall.

Paper strips were stuck to the gate in layers, like white scales.

Three words were written on the outermost layer: [Gate Will Not Break].

Boom! The second explosion. The gate did not break.

Boom! The third explosion. The gate still did not break.

On the city wall, the students were stunned for half a second, and then they went crazy.

"Kill!"

"Kill those little Japs!"

"Jiang University won't hand anyone over!"

Bai Jingchen stood on the steps of the Library, nosebleed dripping onto his collar.

Paper strips flew out from his sleeves continuously.

With every strip that flew out, his fingers became thinner.

Later, he couldn't hear the shouting on the playground; he could only see the blood spots continuously expanding on the paper surface.

The sea of paper began to counterattack.

A paper knife swept across the playground, with small characters appearing on it: [In the tree].

The paper knife flew into the crown of the plane tree.

A Chunin clutched his neck and fell down.

The second one: [Behind the wall].

The paper knife turned along the wall and slit the throat of the ambushers.

The third one: [Drainage ditch].

A muffled sound came from the manhole.

The fourth piece of paper stopped at the restroom entrance.

Two words appeared on the paper: [Restroom Three].

White light drilled into the crack of the door.

The next second, the sound of a corpse hitting the door rang out in the stall.

Fat Dragon was stunned.

"This can be targeted too?"

The skinny guy wiped the blood off his face.

"Mr. Ghost has turned on the full-map hack."

Xu Qiangwei dragged her injured leg and ran to the front of the Library.

"Bai Jingchen, that's enough!"

She reached out to grab him, but grabbed nothing.

Bai Jingchen's cuffs rolled up like paper.

Fine paper patterns cracked on his skin.

His blood vessels turned into ink lines, wandering on the back of his hands.

Xu Qiangwei's voice changed.

"You will die!"

Bai Jingchen glanced at her.

"Continue commanding."

"I am not Lin Yuan; I don't have such a tough life."

He coughed up a mouthful of blood.

The blood fell on the steps, turned into a line of small characters, and flew into the sea of paper.

"I can only fill it with myself."

Xu Qiangwei stood in place, her lips moving, and finally turned and rushed toward the defensive line.

"Reload the machine gun!"

"Master Jiu, guard the drainage ditch!"

"Fang Xiaoxiao, take people to save the wounded!"

Master Jiu pressed his hands on the ground, and earth spikes sealed the second sewer.

He looked up at Bai Jingchen and cursed.

"When a scholar gets ruthless, it's really damn deadly."

Chiba Sakura finally took half a step back.

Jiang University was not Tiangong No. 1.

There was no Lin Yuan.

There was no Qin Yumo.

There were no monsters like that.

But now, her people were being hunted down one by one by pieces of paper.

She pressed her headset.

"Elder, an Esper with rule-based abilities has appeared at Jiang University."

A hoarse voice came from the fog.

"Useless."

Outside the East Gate, the thick fog parted.

A short, thin old man walked out.

He was wearing a wide black robe, and the skin on his face clung to his bones.

The few Genin guarding around Chiba Sakura immediately knelt down, not even daring to raise their heads.

Chiba Sakura also lowered her head.

"Elder."

The old man didn't look at her.

He only raised a withered finger, pointing toward Jiang University from a hundred meters away.

There was no blade light.

There was no explosion.

A hole was directly broken in the center of the paper wall.

More than a dozen students were blown away, hitting the wall and falling to the ground spitting blood.

Master Jiu's expression changed on the spot.

"This old thing..."

He lowered his voice.

"Is much stronger than Chiba Sakura."

The cheering that had just risen was extinguished by this one finger.

The old man pointed again.

The paper wall broke for the second time.

The iron gate of the East Gate made a twisting sound.

Bai Jingchen looked up at that finger.

His glasses slid to the bridge of his nose.

The lenses were covered in blood.

"Not enough paper strips."

Chu Feng heard this in the basement and stood up abruptly.

Fire flared in his palm.

Xu Mengmeng hugged him tightly.

"You can't go!"

Chu Feng stared at Bai Jingchen on the monitor.

For the first time, he didn't push Xu Mengmeng away.

In front of the Library.

Bai Jingchen took off his glasses and placed them on the steps.

"Chu Feng, I don't owe you anything anymore."

His body began to unfold.

His arms turned into paper pages.

His chest turned into white paper.

His whole body floated up from the steps, turning into a giant sheet of white paper.

All the students saw it.

Someone cried out.

"Brother Bai!"

"Don't!"

"We can hold it! Come down!"

Bai Jingchen didn't look back.

The giant white paper floated above the Library.

On the paper surface, characters emerged stroke by stroke.

[Paper Landscape].

The moment the words were formed.

A paper barrier descended.

The teaching buildings, dormitories, cafeteria, and East Gate were all covered.

The old man pointed for the third time.

The barrier dented.

It didn't break.

The fourth time.

It didn't break.

The fifth time.

A gap cracked on the paper surface, but it automatically closed.

The old man stopped.

In the mist, he looked toward the Library.

"Interesting."

His body slowly faded.

It wasn't his real body.

Just an avatar.

Chiba Sakura's expression was ugly.

She finally understood that she couldn't take down Jiang University tonight.

If she continued to drag it out, the ninjas would be exhausted to death by those paper knives.

"Retreat."

Before she turned around, she stared at the white paper above the Library.

"Let's see who will block it next time."

The ninjas retreated like a tide.

The paper knives were still hunting.

Black shadows fell one by one at street corners, on rooftops, and by drainage ditches.

Jiang University held its ground.

But no one cheered.

The paper barrier slowly shrank.

In the end, only one strip of paper remained, drifting down from a height.

Chu Feng rushed out of the basement and caught it.

Five words were written on the paper strip.

[I will sleep for a while].

But Bai Jingchen was nowhere to be seen.

Chu Feng clutched the paper strip, his eyes terrifyingly red.

Outside the East Gate.

Chiba Sakura led the remaining ninjas and rushed out of the street corner.

The ground suddenly bulged.

Boom!

An earth wall blocked their retreat.

On the other side, firelight flared.

Fat Dragon had a cigarette in his mouth, flames dancing in his hands.

Long Qiuyan carried an engineer shovel and grinned.

Tank stood in front of her with his shield raised.

Lu Yan stood at the very front, the concrete under his feet cracking inch by inch.

His voice was very cold.

"Lin Yuan said."

"Since you're already here."

"Don't be in such a hurry to leave."
