Gavel York held his breath and stared at the door nervously, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
The sofa moved to the side exposed the wooden door without any cover, which made Gavel York lose his sense of security, even if Lu Li was beside him.
But the footsteps just passed by the door and gradually faded away.
Gavel York, who didn't dare to relax, signaled Lu Li to keep quiet. After confirming that his footsteps had really left, he resumed his breathing and rapid heartbeat.
"What do you want to ask?" he asked Lu Li as if he had woken up from a nightmare.
"I have nothing to ask."
"oh……"
Gavel York suddenly remembered that Lu Li had not said anything and was listening to the movement in the corridor outside the door while saying: "I think you should also have a password so that each other will not admit their mistakes, right?"
"Where is your sanity counter."
"What is that... Oh, this is your password, of course..." Gavel York came back to his senses and said quickly in embarrassment.
He was not in good condition. Lu Li's arrival did not bring him a sense of security, but the footsteps passing by the "safe house" outside the corridor took away his sanity.
"Keep calm and don't show any flaws. Weirdness will not take the risk of killing you." Lu Li reminded. Gavel York now had "I am a human being" written all over his face.
"Thank you..." Gavel York quickly took a deep breath. "I need to adjust my mood for a while... Do you want to stay?"
Lu Li shook his head, and the low murmur in his mind told him that it was time to go to the second class.
After walking out of Gavel York's office, Lu Li glanced deep into the corridor where the footsteps disappeared, and then returned to the corridor downstairs.
On the way back to the classroom, Lu Li saw Doreen Foley - she was sitting on the bench by the window and looking at her, as if she was waiting for Lu Li here on purpose.
Perhaps the footsteps heard in Gavel York's office were her fault...
Lu Li approached Doreen Foley, or walked towards the other end of the corridor.
At this moment, a cold and disgusting touch and a sticky squeezing sound suddenly came from his feet.
A bloody intestine was stepped on by Lu Li. It was obviously not the intestine of an animal... A strange claw grabbed one end of the intestine from deep in the mouse hole under the wall.
This shadow creature was trying to pull back the intestines that Lu Li had stepped on.
Not far away, Doreen Fowley looked over and wondered whether this was a deliberate arrangement or just a coincidence.
Lu Li calmly raised his feet and waited until the strange hand with a missing claw in the hole grabbed the intestines and retracted it, then continued forward amidst the creepy chewing sounds.
"I don't dare to go back alone, so..." Doreen Fry stood up and said shyly to Lu Li who was approaching, as if she hadn't seen the scene just now.
Lu Li nodded lightly, his eyes suddenly fell outside the window, he frowned and stretched out his hand out of the window: "Is it raining..."
Doreen Fowley curiously made the same move, and looked up with Lu Li at the sky shrouded in mist and clouds: "No... maybe the water has fallen?"
"Maybe."
Seeing the withered bones sticking out of the window in the Upside Down City, Lu Li calmly averted his gaze.
Doreen Fry retracted her hand and said suddenly as if she had thought of it accidentally: "Lu Li, can you contact the other exorcists?"
"I am not a human being." The result has been obtained, and Lu Li no longer needs to be ambiguous about Doreen Foley.
Doreen Foley was stunned, with obvious disappointment on her face: "You... don't trust me?"
"I believe you, but you shouldn't believe me."
Lu Li said, sitting on the bench, and An Hong suddenly stood up.
Bang——
With a muffled sound, Lu Li's body fell back onto the bench and his head hung down. Leaving an illusory and transparent soul standing in front of Doreen Fowley.
"I'm already dead."
He said to the girl.
As the words fell, Doreen Foley's expression began to change.
The smile hanging on his face gradually faded away like mottled wallpaper, revealing the true undisguised disappointment and coldness inside, like an evil ghost.
“What a disappointment…”
"Doreen Foley" also did not hide her malice towards Lu Li, but the rules of "Paradise" stopped her. She stared at Lu Li's soul with resentment, whispered and retreated slowly, disappearing around the corner of the corridor with a slight chewing sound.
Lu Li watched it leave, and his soul returned to his body on the bench. He slowly moved his limbs a few times and walked in the direction where "Doreen Fry" disappeared.
Back in the messy and noisy classroom, "Doreen Foley" was still holding her chin in boredom, but she no longer looked at Lu Li who walked in.
On the contrary, the plump student behind the seat stared at him closely, with some prying eyes.
Not long after I returned to my seat, the second class began.
The professor is a young woman with a single ponytail - this hairstyle is rare in King Allen City, and uniqueness usually arouses suspicion.
The young professor's ability to remain undisturbed by weirdness may have something to do with her eyes: her eyes are curved, and most of the eyelids are covered. Rather than the curved eyes formed by a smile, they look more like malice piled up with ill intentions.
.
This was a painting class. The young professor, who did not reveal his name, handed out drawing boards and paints, placed a rotten apple on the podium, stopped talking, and stepped aside to allow the students to express themselves freely.
Frankly speaking, fresh apples and rotten apples are equally rare. Only upper-class nobles can eat fruits cultivated in hotbeds.
And rotten fruit is indeed more suitable for the current state of the royal city.
Lu Li slowly looked around the front. Less than half of the students had picked up the paintbrush. Most of the students were doing their own things, such as rubbing their eyes mechanically. Not all students who chose to pick up the paintbrush were painting apples, such as the "
Doreen Foley", it is drawing a skeleton on the drawing board, which may be a self-portrait——
Looking away, Lu Li also started to draw on the drawing board.
At a certain moment, he suddenly felt the hot gaze surrendering to him, but he looked away from the drawing board and glanced around. The gaze disappeared again until Lu Li focused on the drawing board again.
This hide-and-seek game lasted several times. Lu Li stopped looking for the source of his sight and sketched the outline of a rotten apple on the drawing board.
Thirty minutes later, the second class ended.
The next class will be in an hour. Because the obscure whisper echoing in the back of his mind reminded Lu Li that it was cafeteria time.
Free food is always the best.
Lu Li followed the students in the classroom and poured into the cafeteria. On the way, he saw Gavel York with a wry smile. He was blocked by the "crowd" and had difficulty reaching Lu Li's side.
After finally entering the cafeteria and approaching Lu Li, a commotion suddenly broke out among them.
A human student whose identity was exposed screamed and was bitten by his "classmates". His struggle was weak and powerless.
Gavel York subconsciously stopped, and then saw Lu Li on the opposite side walking towards them, and was suddenly pulled by a figure——
