The Bison girl knelt down in the corner on the spot and vomited. She vomited out the lunch and even breakfast that she had not eaten much. For a person who had never seen [Evil] and grew up in a greenhouse.
For the little flower, the successive horrific incidents were too exciting.
To be honest, Mark is scared too.
After seeing his inner demon and Gallian becoming a chaos monster, his threshold for fear of inhuman beings has been raised a lot.
Holding his slightly trembling right hand with his left hand, Mark made sure that there were no other "abnormalities" around him for the time being, and he began to carefully observe the corpse.
The corpse left behind was eaten quite cleanly, as if there were hundreds or thousands of reptiles that were not small in size, eating all the meat at once.
In addition to leaving scarlet blood marks on the bones, there are also many marks cut by sharp mouthparts. Even the relatively hard humerus (upper arm bone) has a large number of gaps.
The discovery that made Mark's scalp numb the most was that a large number of human footprints were found at the scene.
It felt like dozens of primitive people without shoes suddenly appeared densely around the two victims, and then ate the victims with some kind of inhuman mouthparts.
These footprints appear concentrated around the victims, but have no origin.
The messy footprints only exist within a two-meter radius, and cannot be seen anywhere else, whether it is the ground or the ceiling.
You know, even though the entire Mystic Academy is surrounded by clear mist, the ground is covered with debris and dead leaves. With so many footprints coming and going, it is impossible not to be discovered.
After lighting the kerosene lamp and confirming his judgment again, Mark put out the lamp again.
Such a weird scene made the gleam in the eyes of the Bison girl dance like her electrocardiogram curve.
Her voice was full of vibrato: "Have we...encountered any terrible [anomaly]?"
"Yeah." Mark replied calmly.
For some reason, Mark's understatement gave Byson an unexpected sense of peace of mind.
Not because he is handsome, but because he is not surprised by changes.
As soon as Mark finished his answer, a strange chewing sound suddenly came from the bathroom just now.
For a moment, the Bison girl wanted to run away in the opposite direction, but Mark held her back.
"wait!"
The Bison girl, who had no idea, suppressed the panic in her heart and waited with Mark on the spot for dozens of seconds.
Soon, the strange sound disappeared.
Mark didn't hesitate, and strode over without concealing the sound of his footsteps.
As soon as he entered the bathroom, his eyes were half-closed.
You guessed it right, it was indeed a mess.
He was once a future guardian knight, changed his profession to a headless knight midway, and now he has become a legless knight.
Even if everyone is leg control.
Leg control and leg control are different!
"Senior, let's go." Every muscle in Bison's body was trembling slightly with fear.
"How to get out? The windows are full of ghosts with unknown origins. They will probably die as soon as they leave the school building."
"We...can we take the cable car?"
When a silly girl says something, you will wonder if she means what she says (crow's mouth).
"Crunch——"
A strange and deep voice came from afar.
Mark will never forget this sound.
Cable car!
The main entrance of the college is prepared for teachers and students who come by carriage.
From the direction of the main entrance, you cannot see the cable car. The cable car connects to the west side of the Mistry University building complex. In the huge cable car room, the school has a special side entrance.
The cable car will operate during non-school hours, with the most frequent trips in the morning and evening, and at noon.
The biggest reason is that when the cable car is in operation, it is really noisy.
Due to the lack of industrial technology, the winch that stirs the cable car forward will make a sharp sound during operation. In a quiet environment, this sound can easily be heard far away.
Mark and Bison looked at each other and immediately rushed to the corridor near the west outer wall. Through the open window, they clearly saw a cable car going down the mountain along the cableway.
The three carriages moved quickly along the cables. Looking from a distance, the swaying lights of several kerosene lanterns shining through the windows of the cable car looked like the blinking signal lights on a night voyage.
What was different from usual times was that at this time, there were bits of black smoke visible to the naked eye attached to the surface of the cable car.
These black flames are like sulfuric acid corroding the metal that fell into the transparent beaker, constantly corroding the outer shell of the cable car, making an unpleasant "beep" sound.
Mark suddenly sighed: "They are finished."
"What? No way!" The stupid girl's eyes widened. Less than three minutes ago, she was the one who suggested taking the cable car!
To put it another way, what happened to these escapees at this moment is what happened to them originally.
As if something was wrong, the screams of the fugitives above could be heard from afar.
Soon, a golden illusory eye lit up above one of the cable car cars.
"You can actually use [Eye of Light]? Your strength is pretty good!" Mark commented.
"Then..." Cunniu showed joy on her face.
Unfortunately, the appearance of the Eye of Light certainly drove away some evil force corroding the carriage, but it also disturbed a certain terrifying existence lurking in the dark fog.
The fog around the cable car suddenly became thicker. The cable car, which had been looming just a moment ago, was wrapped up into the fillings in the rice dumpling leaves by the thick fog.
Not to mention the outline of the cable car, even the golden light of the Eye of Light became extremely hazy in the thick fog.
Time flows quickly.
Little Bison's heart was in her throat.
Just a few seconds passed, maybe a little longer, when suddenly a cable car trembled violently, making a heartbreaking sound of metal tearing. The bright eye above the car also flashed rapidly, and then there was a "pop",
Completely extinguished.
Just barely visible, the kerosene lamp in the carriage was moved to the second carriage.
As a strange inhuman roar came from the thick fog, the light in the second carriage went out, and finally the third one...
At the same time, there were faint screams.
The stupid girl once again covered her mouth tightly and leaned against Mark's chest almost instinctively, begging for a little more warmth called 'hope' from her companion's body.
In less than three seconds, a large section of steel wire cable flew out of the thick fog. Under the influence of gravity, it hit the moss-covered cliff, making a crisp "snap" sound.
This is also a slap in the heart of the survivors.
After a while, I heard a faint explosion from the bottom of the mountain.
It is completely conceivable that the cable car has been scattered and disintegrated and completely destroyed.
From this moment on, all communications and transportation between the school and the outside world were completely cut off.
Looking out the window, the fog in the distance spreads at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into black and gray smoke, swallowing up all the scenery outside the field of vision.
The moonlight that could barely provide illumination in the sky before has long since disappeared.
"What should we do?" Girl Bison's teeth were chattering.
"Find the core of the [abnormality]! Kill it..."
"What if we fail?"
"Then get killed by it!"
Mark shrugged, picked up the lantern, turned around and walked deeper into the academy.
Bison glanced out the window, stamped his foot, bit his lip, and hurried to follow.
She didn't dare to tug on Mark's sleeves for fear of affecting his movements. She only dared to gently tug on the back hem of Mark's student uniform like a kindergarten kid.
"..." Mark stopped and looked at her, but gave up the plan of 'telling her to let go'.
He knew that this girl would probably be of no use, and would be just a little bit equated with her pig teammates. But his conscience did not allow him to sell his teammates casually.
"Miss Haruka, what fighting skills do you know?"
"I...I'm bad at fighting...I'm from the formation system."
Mark's eyes darkened.
Normally, it would be hard to offend those who engage in formation formation.
In squad-level battles, most of the time there is nothing to do with the formation mages. The formation mages mostly work wonders in situations such as wars or long-term explorations.
They can increase the power of spells by elemental masters and other mages, or they can use divine power to create a relatively safe barrier space for teammates to rest. They are also good at navigating mazes.
But in this weird environment where encounters can happen at any time, the role of the formation mage is definitely the worst.
Without trampling on Miss Bison's low self-confidence, Mark said in a teasing tone: "I am a mystery person."
The Mysterious [Scholar] can barely be considered a combat profession, but unfortunately, in the adventure team, it is also an absolute back-line profession.
To put it nicely, it’s called a decathlon, but to put it poorly, it’s just not good at everything.
There is a world of difference in combat power between a good [scholar] and one who is unlearned and incompetent, such as Mr. Ma.
After Mark finished speaking, perhaps because his chin was saved, this stupid girl was convinced by Mark: "It's okay, I believe the senior is the strongest."
Little fool, don't say that. If you trust me so much, if the critical moment comes, I will feel guilty if I betray you.
Just after the brief mutual introduction, the two people who came to the atrium of the college immediately heard new noises.
"Monster! Come out! Come out, let's fight to the death -" Accompanied by hysterical roars and the constant light of fire, the male elementalist in a lounge stood out in the academy.
He had no companions around him. He was like a madman, constantly stirring up the mysterious power in his body and releasing small elemental magics one after another.
The light and shadow flickered so fiercely that even the two people fifty meters away were clearly visible.
"He..." The Bison girl seemed to want to move closer, but Mark stopped her and quickly turned off the kerosene lamp.
"Wait! Can you see his eyes?"
Baison was stunned for a moment, and took out a gadget similar to a monocular telescope from his pocket to look at it. He was surprised to find that the elementalist's left eye was blood red and was dripping with bloody tears.
Recalling that she was chased by three out-of-control Guardian Knight apprentices just now, Benniu was silent for a while before saying: "You have really good eyes."
Mark didn't answer. He was worried about another thing: wouldn't the fog in the college make people lose their minds?
