Tan Ming glanced at the time; there was still an hour left until ten. The two of them left the place. As Tan Ming stepped forward, he felt something soft underfoot and heard a sharp cry.
"Ah!"
He lifted his foot and discovered it was Liu Xuanzhu. Meanwhile, Ling Xingyuan was sneaking behind the door.
Tan Ming picked up Liu Xuanzhu and asked them, "What are you two following me for?"
"Are you kidding? When did we follow you? Can only you come here?" Ling Xingyuan replied, tilting his head defiantly.
Tan Ming set Liu Xuanzhu down on the ground. "Suit yourselves," he said, striding away.
Suddenly turning back, he cast a glance at the two Xiao Ren on the floor, who quickly averted their eyes from him. However, Tan Ming had no time to pay attention to the two Xiao Ren.
He went upstairs and searched around until he found Qi Qiuluo, but several people beside him had already woken up. After some consideration, it was clear that it would be inconvenient to interrogate him now. Tan Ming thought he would have to find another opportunity.
As he stood there abruptly, the person who had been flipping through notes stopped their movements. Tan Ming glanced over and saw Dr. Wang's notebook open with some writing.
"Why does the mysterious figure want to kill Qi Qiuluo? Why does the mysterious figure want to set fire? Why does the mysterious figure want to erase their memories?"
Below these questions were hypotheses regarding possible answers: personal vendetta, murderer, evil nature. Each answer was followed by a question mark, but under "murderer," there was a horizontal line drawn in ink, indicating that the doctor leaned towards the idea that the arsonist was indeed the murderer.
Noticing Tan Ming's gaze lingering on his notebook, Dr. Wang quickly closed it with a polite smile and asked, "Do you need something?"
"No."
Dr. Wang nodded politely and focused on his own thoughts.
Ten hours came to an abrupt halt.
After the protective umbrella of Jiang Shi suddenly shattered, the animals outside, which had surrounded the restaurant and were making a ruckus, instantly raised their sharp claws and surged forward like a tidal wave, ferociously pouncing inside.
At that moment, the Spellcaster once again cast the Termination Evolution Talisman.
In an instant, those animals that had leaped high into the air, along with the sprawling plants with intertwined roots and lush branches, seemed to be frozen in place as if under a binding spell, motionless in midair—a sight both bizarre and shocking.
The Messengers walked out in unison, the enchanting light outside casting a surreal glow upon them, creating a scene that was both fantastical and indescribable.
The entire campus was enveloped in an extraordinary radiance.
The sky was a deep blue-purple, resembling a curtain that complemented the enormous silver-gray sphere hanging in midair.
The once neat and wide roads were ruptured by plant roots, cracked and uneven, with weeds eagerly sprouting from the crevices of the concrete.
On the buildings within the campus, thick layers of plant roots and leaves climbed up, completely covering the walls as if it were a witch's dwelling from a fairy tale—dark and oppressive.
I always felt that we had endured not just days but centuries! Shen Jianghuan exclaimed.
Her voice trembled, completely shaken by the incredible scene before her.
I used to scoff at the notion of supernatural forces; however, witnessing it firsthand made me realize that such things are not mere fabrications! Zhang Liu remarked.
Who cares about supernatural forces or fabrications? I just want to survive! Fan Xiaonan declared.
Everyone wanted to live. Ladies and gentlemen, it is time to face judgment! Tan Ming stated.
