Chapter 202: Chapter 177. Beichuan Si: Are you okay? (4000)_2

Beichuan Si walked with Sakura Miori further inside.

The room was similar to an area for showering after a swim, with a row of small lockers against the wall. Some lockers were tightly shut, with strands of hair not quite stuffed in, sticking out at the edges...

On the other side of the wall, there were rusted shower heads and cross-shaped faucet knobs, looking battered and decrepit.

As soon as Beichuan Si and Sakura Miori entered the room, they heard the shrill screams of a teenage girl coming from the other side.

"That’s Nanako! She must be by the pool!" Sakura Miori turned pale, and then she saw the iron door at the far end, locked.

"There’s a door over there, but it’s locked."

Seeing Sakura Miori’s clueless expression, Beichuan Si said indifferently, "I know."

Next to the iron door lay a male corpse, its skull smashed, but Beichuan Si paid no attention to the body. He took a deep breath and shifted his center of gravity to his right leg.

Bang!!!!!

To the astonishment of Sakura Miori, Beichuan Si had kicked the crooked and badly damaged iron door, along with its frame, clear off its hinges!

Sakura Miori watched, dumbfounded, as Beichuan Si walked out expressionlessly.

Geez... Hui Li... your brother... he’s no ordinary guy.

No wonder Beichuan Huili would puff out her chest and boast about her brother, saying things like "This guy is nothing compared to my brother," "That guy is nothing compared to my brother," "My Brother Temple is invincible in this world"...

With such an older brother, who would dare to bully oneself?

And that kick was just too cool!

Sakura Miori’s gaze twinkled.

After all, she was just a junior high student who had just started high school.

For a young junior high girl in the budding stages of adolescence, who wouldn’t like a handsome senior that can handle trouble so effortlessly?

Whether others loved it or not, she certainly did.

Sakura Miori hurriedly followed Beichuan Si out.

Exiting the shower room, they came directly to the outdoor pool. From here, one could see that the facilities of the Imperial School had indeed been comprehensive.

However, Sakura Miori wasn’t thinking about that. She immediately looked across the pool.

There, Takiyama Nanako was holding her head, screaming in terror.

Because not far in front of her, there was a malevolent Spiritual Body with a shattered skull and body full of blade piercings, staggering step by step towards her.

The dark malice clashed with the pale golden aura surrounding Takiyama Nanako, the golden aura emitting cat-like wails, and for a moment, it actually held back the malevolent Spiritual Body.

"Temple..." Just as Sakura Miori was about to call out to Beichuan Si, she found that he had already rushed over with unbelievable speed, grabbed the malevolent Spiritual Body’s skull, and slammed it into the ground.

Splat!

Like a ripe tomato hitting the ground, a foul-smelling liquid burst out, and Beichuan Si’s face and body were splashed with blood and unidentifiable fluids.

But these were just the condensed products of the malice and would disappear soon.

Beichuan Si didn’t seem to care, he looked up at Takiyama Nanako and asked, "Are you all right?"

Hearing a voice, Takiyama Nanako barely opened her eyes—

She saw a young man in front of her.

Beneath the feet of the young man were the remains of a corpse. Looking closely, one could still make out the remains of a human body.

His face was calm, like a mad killer’s, and it still had a mix of yellow and red substances hanging from it.

Takiyama Nanako’s eyes narrowed sharply, and she let out a scream before fainting.

"?????" Beichuan Si wiped the yellow and red mixture from his face, frowning tightly as he glanced behind himself.

Behind him, apart from a rust-streaked steel wire railing that once acted as a protective barrier, there was nothing, and beyond it was a crimson sky.

"Nanako!" Sakura Miori finally caught up from behind, throwing herself toward Takiyama Nanako, whose golden aura had dissipated.

Thank goodness, her head was still there, arms and legs all intact, without any visible injuries.

But why did Takiyama Nanako faint?

Sakura Miori didn’t quite understand.

She had been following right behind Beichuan Si and had not seen his terrifying appearance.

Now she couldn’t help but turn her head back.

Under Beichuan Si’s feet, the malice of the malevolent Spiritual Body had already dispersed, and the stench and bloodstains on his face had turned into a black resentment and vanished.

"Hmm?" Sakura Miori touched her head in confusion.

It was still the same cool and aloof Beichuan Si.

Then why did Nanako faint?

She struggled to lift Takiyama Nanako from the ground and brought her to Beichuan Si’s side, asking with incomprehension, "What happened to Nanako? She was screaming so loudly just now, how did she suddenly faint?"

Beichuan Si stroked his chin and, after thinking, came to a more scientific conclusion, "It must have been a hallucination or auditory illusion. The terrifying fantasy caused her to faint in an instant. It’s not surprising that such an incident would have that effect."

"Is that so? Nanako is really unfortunate," Sakura Miori said with a look of sympathy towards Takiyama Nanako.

Even the handsome Beichuan Si didn’t get a glimpse of her before she passed out; Nanako was truly unlucky.

Beichuan Si stood up again and looked around.

To his right was the water room, and to his left, the swimming pool.

The water room was dilapidated and old, its iron door twisted as if it had been struck by some heavy object, and above the yellowing pool floated three bloated corpses with smashed heads and swollen, blistering wounds.

These three corpses were in blue uniforms, both male and female, and appeared to be students from the same school.

"Let’s get out of here."

Although Beichuan Si was very keen to investigate, now wasn’t the time to do so, and he had no choice but to desist.

He instructed Sakura Miori to support Takiyama Nanako, while he led the way with his mobile phone in hand.

It wasn’t that Beichuan Si didn’t want to help, but that he needed to remain alert in the face of various unexpected situations hidden in the dark.

This school was home to numerous resentful spirits, and most of them had already grown into lower-middle-level Spiritual Bodies, some even mixed with lower-high-level ones.

He alone didn’t feel anything towards these beings, but with two others with him, he needed to be ready to free both hands at any moment.

The group returned to the decrepit wooden schoolhouse.

Following the instructions given by Nishijou Kurenai, he could roughly deduce the location of the other two.

"The annex building?"

Beichuan Si murmured thoughtfully.

He had already noticed the existence of the annex building adjacent to the schoolhouse when he was by the pool.

If Beichuan Si wasn’t mistaken, there should be a path leading directly to the annex through the courtyard.

They could walk straight across from there.

And according to the typical square layout of most schools...

Beichuan Si constructed a rough model in his mind.

School buildings mostly focus on functionality; there must be many entrances leading to the courtyard, and they could get there through one of those.

"Brother Temple, the annex building... Are Saki and the others there?" asked Sakura Miori, who was dragging Takiyama Nanako.

"Nishijou Kurenai told me," replied Beichuan Si.

Kurenai?

Sakura Miori blinked and only after several seconds did she realize:

"Is that the little stuffed doll that saved my life?"

"Something like that." Beichuan Si raised his hand and pointed at his collar.

His gesture undoubtedly also attracted Sakura Miori’s gaze.

From Beichuan Si’s collar wriggled out a little doll’s head.

The doll stretched out its hand, then flexed its bicep in a show of strength, and then waved its plump arms at her, as if to say hello.

This scene, defying all common sense, stunned Sakura Miori and caused her to exclaim with a loud voice—

"So, so cute!!!"

Putting aside Nishijou Kurenai’s less-than-cute appearance, the doll’s action just then was the epitome of ’cuteness.’

Just as Sakura Miori was about to speak again, Beichuan Si looked at her evenly and said, "Keep it down, lest we attract something."

Uh—

Sakura Miori covered her mouth with her free right hand but still looked at Nishijou Kurenai with sparkling eyes.

She felt a little envious of Beichuan Si.
