95: Who cuts off whom?
"Alright." Jiang Ye nodded, "You investigate this incident, I'll go to the back mountain."
"You're going to the back mountain?" Feng Weimian was a little surprised.
"Yeah." Jiang Ye looked helplessly at the System's mission.
"Then go ahead, I'll ensure the safety of everyone else." Feng Weimian gave him a trusting look.
This made Jiang Ye a little annoyed.
'I don't even have confidence in myself, yet you trust me so much.'
A minute later, Jiang Ye left the dormitory.
The System's mission had a time limit of only one hour, and he wasn't sure how far the back mountain was, so he dared not delay... The Dongying camp.
In a private bedroom, Chu Ze slowly woke up.
The moment he opened his eyes, the scene of him being ganged up on was imprinted in his mind!
A wave of humiliation and anger instantly filled his chest.
The mark on his palm continuously transmitted energy, repairing his damaged body.
Feeling this power, Chu Ze became even more frustrated: "Do you only know how to heal? Where were you when I needed your strength?!"
His suppressed roar made his face look ferocious.
"Chu-san, are you alright?" At the door, a woman's concerned voice made Chu Ze rein in his emotions.
"I'm fine." Taking a deep breath, Chu Ze looked at the somewhat gloomy sky outside: "What time is it now?"
"6 PM, it's almost evening. It's good that you, Chu-san, are awake."
Sakura Miko said softly.
"6 PM?!" Hearing the time, Chu Ze was startled.
He opened the Devils Livestream panel and found the Dragon Country's camp.
Looking at the names of the 12 people, he indeed saw 'Feng Weimian' among them!
He immediately got up: "I'm going to the back mountain. Before I return, none of you are to step out of your rooms. Understand?"
"Going to the back mountain?" Sakura Miko was a little worried: "Will there be any danger?"
"Heh heh, how could there be danger in seizing the protagonist's Legacy? When I return, all evil will retreat!"
Chu Ze's words entered Sakura Miko's ears, leaving her completely bewildered.
On the quiet campus road, Chu Ze looked at the stormy sky with a heart full of excitement.
If he remembered correctly, in the original work, Feng Weimian would get that diary today, and only tomorrow would he stumble into the back mountain and obtain the Legacy.
It was also because of this that the guy survived the bloody feast tomorrow night.
But now, the situation was different.
Knowing how to obtain the Legacy, Chu Ze naturally had to intercept it.
The Legacy of the Red-Clothed Vicious Ghost.
After obtaining the Legacy, this Devils Livestream, which attempted to break obsessions, would have no way to deal with him!
With a suppressed yet excited mood, Chu Ze quickly arrived at the location.
In the back mountain area, there was a small fish pond.
Beside the fish pond was a small path. Following the path covered with fallen leaves, at the end of the path was a building.
The dark building stood in the middle of the withered leaf forest.
Quiet and profound, like an old mansion from the Republic of China era.
Although he already knew what would be inside, Chu Ze still felt a slight fear the moment he saw the building.
After a few self-hypnotizing words, he strode over.
On a large tree outside the dark building.
Jiang Ye was a little puzzled when he saw Chu Ze.
He was even more confused when he saw the other party enter the building.
This old mansion obviously had a big problem. Jiang Ye himself avoided it, yet Chu Ze entered it directly without any scruples?
He looked at the System.
He still needed to stay in this back mountain for another half an hour for the mission to end.
While waiting, Jiang Ye raised his attention to the maximum.
If there was any problem, he would retreat without hesitation. Mission failure would only worsen his myopia, but compared to his life, that was insignificant.
Ye Tian, in the System space, looked at the expected situation outside and opened his points panel.
In this world, so far, he had only gained over five million points from Chu Ze's lost protagonist Luck.
This was much less than the previous two worlds.
However, this was also due to the world coin.
In order not to alarm the worlds will, Ye Tian had been extremely low-key.
Bringing Jiang Ye here now was merely using him as a Wi-Fi-like tool.
He would only be discovered by the Heavenly Dao's will if he moved a hundred meters away from Ye Tian... Now, back to Chu Ze after entering the old mansion.
He already had a prepared route map in his mind.
Passing through the quiet corridor on the first floor, he walked step by step to the second floor.
The sound of his footsteps on the floor was clear and distinct.
The moment he went up to the second floor, Chu Ze's gaze fell on the painting on the wall of the old mansion.
It was a portrait of an old man, but only his back was visible... In the desolate light, the eerie feeling it presented was extremely strong!
The moment he saw this portrait, Chu Ze didn't hesitate at all. He knelt down with a "thump": "Dean, the school is almost gone. Please come out and save your students!"
His words, even the tone, carried a hint of choked emotion.
This level of acting was not something an ordinary person could achieve.
After Chu Ze's voice fell, there was no movement in the old mansion.
However, he was not surprised at all and remained kneeling on the ground.
After a long while.
In the quiet second-floor attic, an old voice slowly emerged.
"Who are you?"
The voice carried some confusion, and also a hint of emptiness.
Hearing the reply, a faint smile appeared on Chu Ze's lips, then he choked up: "I am your student, a student from Class 3 of Senior Year."
"Class 3 of Senior Year..." The old man reminisced: "It's you all... You are good Children, are you all gone?"
"Yes, everyone in the class died, we can't do it! We need you to stop them!"
"Stop them." Hearing these words, the old man in the frame seemed to have a slight emotional fluctuation.
His back slowly turned.
Chu Ze kept his head down, not daring to look up.
"But I'm old, I don't have the strength to stop them anymore." The old man said wistfully and emptily, then his voice reappeared: "Can you take my place and stop them?"
"Me? Can I?" Chu Ze said with a face full of tears, 'disbelievingly'.
"Come, I am just a shell. This power still needs to be given to you good Children."
After this voice fell, ripples of space actually appeared centered around the portrait, connecting to another space, the Legacy space!
Chu Ze was ecstatic!
It worked, it worked!
Standing up, looking at the huge painting in front of him, Chu Ze walked forward with joy in his heart!
However.
Just as he took a step, he suddenly found that he couldn't move!
His hands, feet, torso, and eyes couldn't move!
"What's going on?!" Chu Ze's heart suddenly pounded.
The original work never mentioned that he would be confined by some power before receiving the Legacy!
Just as Chu Ze was utterly perplexed, footsteps suddenly sounded downstairs.
"Tap ~ tap ~ tap ~"
Shoes stepping on the wooden stairs, the sound was very clear.
Chu Ze struggled against the confining force, trying his best to turn his head to look.
A man in a suit, with a cruel smile on his lips, gradually appeared in his line of sight from the stairwell!
