76: Chapter 76 Are You the True Heiress of a Wealthy Family?
Wang Yunxiao’s understanding of Nurse Liu’s explanation about “opening the gateway between the Real World and the Outer Dimension,” referred to as “opening the door,” was limited to an image of a semi-transparent vortex with an Assembly Stone nearby that could pull people in.
What could be so hard to explain about this?
But it was indeed hard to explain.
“Anchor failure!”
In a daze, he thought he heard such phrase.
Then, when he regained consciousness, he found himself back in the classroom instead of the school gate where he had been before.
He had no idea what had happened.
Could it be that the act of pushing open the school gate just now counted as “opening the door”?
Wang Yunxiao was utterly confused.
He looked around, and the classroom was empty.
That was normal; who would come to class in the middle of the night?
What was abnormal was the absence of peanut shells and melon seed husks on the floor.
Realizing this detail, Wang Yunxiao knew that he wasn’t in the same classroom he had originally been in.
To be precise, it wasn’t the classroom that existed in the Real World.
He carefully pushed the door open and stepped out into the corridor.
He tried flipping the light switch, but there was no response.
Normally, students should be asleep in their dormitories at this time.
Should he go check the dormitories?
Or…
head to the infirmary to see if he could find Nurse Liu?
Wang Yunxiao glanced at the Ox Ear Knife in his embrace and sighed.
Forget it, why bother thinking so much?
Just tell me where the monster is.
Where’s the BOSS?
Without moon or light, the school was shrouded in pitch darkness, making it nearly impossible to see anything.
It was like the day he had just crossed over, no, at least there were stars and lights outside on that day.
Now, there was nothing outside the window.
Wang Yunxiao touched the wall with one hand and gripped the knife in the other, fumbling towards the infirmary based on the school’s layout in his mind.
Just as he reached the spot where there should’ve been stairs, he took a step and immediately felt something underfoot was amiss, as if there was no solid ground, and something was wedged beneath his foot.
If he hadn’t been careful, he would have easily lost his balance and tumbled down the steps.
“Hee~”
A strange laugh faintly echoed through the darkness, as if a prank was about to succeed.
Wang Yunxiao’s ears twitched, and he delivered a strong kick out of reflex.
There was a pained howl as something flew out from under his feet and crashed against the opposite wall.
He leaped down the stairs in a single bound, stepping in the direction where that thing had landed.
With a squish, it felt as if he had stepped on rotten flesh, and before it could react, it was crushed into mush on the spot.
Wang Yunxiao bent down and reached out, fumbling around and feeling something round, like a child’s head.
In the darkness, two faint red lights glowed.
“Hiss…”
The moment it made a sound, Wang Yunxiao didn’t hesitate to grab it and slam it against the nearby wall.
After smashing it three times vehemently, turning it into mush, he belatedly realized that the thing seemed like it was trying to speak.
“Young…
Young Hero!”
Not far away, another child-like, tender voice sounded, now with a sobbing tone, “Please show mercy with your knife!”
“Sorry, got a bit ahead of myself.”
Wang Yunxiao nonchalantly wiped a handful of what was either brain or blood, some sort of sticky substance, onto the wall, then laughed towards the direction of the voice, “Third Master Ding, how did you end up like this?
I almost didn’t recognize you for a moment.”
“This is the Mealybug Boy by my side, please show some mercy…
By the way, where have we ended up?
Why does this place look off to me?
Is this an Immortal Cave?”
Wang Yunxiao followed the voice and stepped closer to observe, only then did he spot a toddler no more than three or four years old hiding around the corner of the wall, wearing a red bellyband and a topknot, looking exactly like a child from a New Year painting.
Only this child wasn’t as rosy and plump as those in the paintings, but rather pale with a greenish hue, and there was a strange red glimmer flickering in its eye sockets, trembling in the corner of the wall.
Perhaps it had just witnessed an unsettling scene and got scared, right?
A gentle smile appeared on Wang Yunxiao’s face as he squatted down and said, “I’m quite baffled myself.
This Immortal Cave, wasn’t it something your friend mentioned?
Didn’t he tell you anything about the specifics here?”
“He didn’t tell me anything, I don’t even know how I got in.”
Third Master Ding’s tone was full of confusion, “Could it be that some Illusion Array was set up at the entrance of this Immortal Cave, trapping us…”
The sentence was cut off halfway, as if the signal had been lost.
The Ghost Doll looked around, then suddenly burst into tears and turned to run, but Wang Yunxiao quickly grabbed the back of its head.
“Why are you running around?
Don’t you think this place is dangerous?
Take me to your Family Head!”
No sooner had he released his grip than the Ghost Child managed to break away and ran off.
Wang Yunxiao followed behind it, listening to its footsteps, and moved forward.
Unexpectedly, he bumped into something on his side.
He instinctively said, “Sorry…”
All of a sudden, it became bright.
Without any warning or transition, in that instant, the night turned into day.
The afternoon sunlight was hazy yet warm.
Wang Yunxiao looked at the student he had just bumped into, his brows furrowing slightly.
“Be careful, don’t run around in the hallways.”
The other person adjusted their glasses and said nonchalantly.
Wang Yunxiao recognized those glasses but had a bit of trouble recognizing the person in front of him.
“Zhang Hanlin?”
“What is it?”
It was actually him!
Wang Yunxiao’s pupils shocked.
Zhang Hanlin was Youtiao’s real name, and because his name had too many strokes, even he avoided writing it, using only “Youtiao” for his schoolwork.
However, the young man in front of him had a tall figure, handsome features, and an air of melancholic indifference that was impossible to associate with the real-world image of Youtiao—a thin, sharp-faced, oily spectacle-wearing man.
If Wang Yunxiao hadn’t known him so well, he wouldn’t have recognized him at first glance.
How many filters have you layered on yourself?
Or did you buy a skin for yourself with money?
But of course, the most important thing was…
“You don’t recognize me anymore?”
The aloof and distant expression in the other person’s eyes puzzled Wang Yunxiao.
Could it really be someone else?
Could this be the legendary case of the real rich heiress being replaced…
“Wang Yunxiao?”
A glint of contemplation flickered in Zhang Hanlin’s eyes, “Do you need something?”
He still knows me?
This response left Wang Yunxiao even more confused, so he continued tentatively, “I don’t need anything, but where are you headed?”
“I…”
This question silenced Zhang Hanlin for a moment, and after some thought, he said uncertainly, “I’m going to check on the drama club’s rehearsal progress.”
“Our school has a drama club?”
“There should be…right?”
