Wenn die Liebe naht, ist es wie Schnee

Kapitel 28

Xia Chen said seriously, "I have a very important principle that I'd like to share now: never underestimate your opponent. If Dr. Wu is indeed in Liu Yanting's body, his academic background proves that he is a very intelligent person."

His escape to Chenguan Village wasn't necessarily to lure us away; he may not have known the tunnel had been destroyed. Someone may have told him shortly after he escaped Yishi Academy.

Ye Cheng smiled wryly, "The case is getting more and more complicated. The 'Nuwa Project,' Xuan Xiaotong, and the Xia Group—what other secrets are hidden within Yishi Academy?"

Luo Xie laughed and said, "I think this is a lot of fun. I'm considering whether I should come to Yishi Academy for a few more days of study."

"Great!" Luo Shimin clapped her hands and cheered, thinking that the more chaotic it was, the more fun it would be.

Ye Cheng felt sorry for the principal of Yishi Academy. With these two clowns around, Yishi Academy was bound to be in chaos, and the principal would probably have trouble sleeping.

After checking their equipment, the group left Chen Bao's house and headed towards their destination. Only Luo Shimin asked, "Where are we going?"

Xia Chen thought it best to prepare her mentally first, and turned around to say, "We're going to a dirty, smelly place full of rats. It's a place you'll never want to go back to once. I think you remember now."

Luo Shimin exclaimed, "The sewers! We need to go to the sewers!" Thank goodness, she finally remembered.

The iron pipe by the stream had been blown up, so the only way back to the darkroom was to go back to the studio, down into the filthy sewers, and then find a small hole in the wall to crawl through. This was the only way to save them. This time it was slightly better; Chen Bao provided tall rubber boots, which at least prevented the black, smelly liquid from seeping into their shoes and trousers.

The group jogged back to Yishi School. The old building's door was locked. Ye Cheng found a small wire to pick it, but Luo Xie took out the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow and easily broke the lock. Ye Cheng sighed, "Our teachers have always taught us to cherish public property!"

Luo Shimin pushed open the door. "We'll consider your suggestion after we rescue Teacher Su Youqing."

Sure enough, they found new bloodstains in the studio, and the manhole cover also showed signs of having been moved. Xia Chen said smugly, "Looks like I wasn't wrong." Ye Cheng and Luo Xie removed the manhole cover, and a stench hit them, causing Xia Chen to take several steps back. Hu Rongrong pinched her nose and said, "I can't believe we have to go down there again."

"I'll go first." Luo Xie put on his rubber boots, grabbed the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, and jumped down first.

Just as Ye Cheng was about to jump, Hu Rongrong took out a silk scarf and handed it to him. "I sprayed some perfume on it. Using it to cover your nose will feel better." Xia Chen looked at Luo Shimin, who said, "I never use that stuff." Li Xiao also said, "Neither do I." Considering that the silk scarf might trigger Luo Xie's rage, Ye Cheng said thank you, returned the scarf to Hu Rongrong, and jumped down.

"Can everyone hurry up?" Luo Xie shouted from below, he couldn't wait to fight Liu Yanting again.

The rubber shoes didn't fit well, and walking through the thick, black liquid in the sewers was difficult and time-consuming. However, Luo Xie and Xia Chen, both possessing excellent memories, worked together to guide the group to the hole Luo Xie had cut without taking any unnecessary detours.

Luo Xie and Ye Cheng cautiously approached the cave entrance. First, they listened intently; the cave was completely quiet. Then, they peered inside, but it was pitch black, and they couldn't see anything.

The two exchanged a glance. Luo Xie gripped the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow tightly, while Ye Cheng extended the flashlight into the cave. They first saw Su Youqing, lying on the cold cement floor, her life hanging in the balance. Shining the flashlight further in, they saw Liu Yanting's mutilated body, also lying on the cold ground, unresponsive to the light.

Ye Cheng waved to the crowd waiting nearby, indicating that there was no danger and they could come over.

Everyone gathered around, and Hu Rongrong saw Su Youqing lying on the ground and asked with concern, "Is Teacher Su alright? We're not late, are we?"

Luo Shimin gripped the hole with both hands and cursed, "That damned bastard, I'm going to kill him."

Luo Xie pushed her back, "Leave the killing to me. You know I'm best at that kind of thing."

Ye Cheng said with a wry smile, "I beg you two, could you please discuss murder when the police aren't around? I'll pretend I didn't hear what you two were saying just now, okay?"

Luo Xie didn't speak; he had already gripped the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow and slipped inside. He gently walked to Su Youqing's side, bent down to check, and found she still had a pulse and was breathing, but had simply fainted. He turned and walked towards Liu Yanting.

"Wait, I'll come with you." Ye Cheng crawled in through the hole, holding a large water gun filled with formalin solution. He found it utterly ridiculous, but he still pointed the gun at Liu Yanting. Luo Xie touched Liu Yanting with his knife, but she didn't react. "Looks like Dr. Wu has left." Luo Xie put away the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow. Ye Cheng also put away the water gun. "Thank God, this is the most ridiculous weapon I've ever used."

Seeing that it was safe, the four people waiting outside the cave also crawled in through the small hole. The three girls surrounded Su Youqing, trying to wake her up, but Su Youqing didn't respond at all. After checking her, Li Xiao said, "There's nothing wrong with her body, but she just won't wake up. Don't ask me, I don't know why."

Xia Chen touched Liu Yanting's body to make sure there were no problems. "Is it possible that Dr. Wu transferred to Teacher Su's body? If it did transfer, could you detect it?"

Li Xiao complained, "How would I know? I don't even know what I'm facing. I think what you said is possible. Since Dr. Wu can possess the dead, it wouldn't be too difficult for him to possess the living."

Ye Cheng walked to the center of the house and said, "Considering that Dr. Wu was severely injured by Luo Xie, he needs a place to recuperate. There is nowhere else for him to go but here, so there are only three possibilities: First, he is still on Liu Yanting, which is what I most want to see. Second, he has transferred to Su Youqing. Third, he has returned to the state before he bent over. The latter two are what I most want to see."

Hu Rongrong said, "We didn't find any wounds on Teacher Su, so we can rule out your second possibility. Let's take Teacher Su out first." Ye Cheng and Luo Xie helped Su Youqing up together. "You guys go outside the cave first. We'll take Teacher Su out from this side, and you can meet her over there."

"Okay." Everyone put down their weapons, and Hu Rongrong crawled out through the small hole.

Just then, Liu Yanting silently stood up and kicked Luo Xie hard in the back. Luo Xie flew out, crashed into the wall, and bounced to the ground, motionless. Ye Cheng turned around and saw the wicked smile on Liu Yanting's face. He had been punched in the chest three times in the same spot, and Ye Cheng staggered back three steps, the excruciating pain contorting his features. "Remember to remind me next time that I need to get myself a breastplate."

Before Liu Yanting could do anything else, Xia Chen opened fire on her with his water gun, followed by Luo Shimin's water gun, Li Xiao's water gun, and Hu Rongrong's water gun.

Liu Yanting was quickly soaked by the spray. She grinned wickedly and said, "Are you out of your minds? Using a water gun on me? Can't you come up with a better idea?"

"You'll soon see the power of a water gun." Xia Chen's words had barely finished when Liu Yanting collapsed to the ground, convulsing. "You...you...what did you do?"

Xia Chen raised the water gun in his hand, "Although we're using water guns, they're not filled with water, they're filled with formaldehyde solution. I bet you don't like this liquid." The group sprayed all the liquid from the water guns onto Liu Yanting.

"Don't think you can deal with me like this."

Liu Yanting stood up from the ground, her steps not as light as before.

"You damned monster, just die!" Luo Shimin jumped out and kicked Liu Yanting in the neck. With a crack, Liu Yanting's head slumped limply against her chest. Luo Shimin's kick had broken her neck.

"Little girl, you've messed with me." Liu Yanting approached Luo Shimin step by step. "Go to hell!" Liu Yanting threw a punch at Luo Shimin. Luo Shimin pushed Xia Chen away, but she couldn't dodge it. Just as the punch was about to hit Luo Shimin, Liu Yanting's arm flew out.

Luo Xie stood behind her, holding the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow in his hand, and said fiercely, "Never touch my sister with your filthy hands."

"He swung the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow again, and Liu Yanting's legs were severed, leaving her lying on the ground unable to move."

"Oh, no." Ye Cheng walked over, clutching his chest. The Liu family would definitely go crazy if they saw Liu Yanting's body like this.

Luo Xie said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter, I don't know anyone from the Xia family anyway."

Liu Yanting roared, "You brats, you've really angered me! You're sorely mistaken if you think that's all I'm capable of!" A thick, black liquid gushed from the wound on her neck, some turning into black smoke, while the majority coalesced, gradually forming a humanoid object that stood up. Luo Xie slashed at it with the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, but the blade only left a bloody mark on the surface of the liquid, causing no real damage.

"Are you Dr. Wu?" Xia Chen asked.

The humanoid liquid nodded and said in a very unpleasant voice, "I am also Duan Ganxuanbang. After Dr. Wu activated the blood core in my brain, the two of us became one."

Hu Rongrong said, "But you died more than fifty years ago, when you were just a baby."

"Haha... Little girl, I have two things to tell you. First, never believe legends; they're all just scaremongering things. Second, death doesn't necessarily mean the end; it could be a new beginning. As for the unknown world, you need to explore it yourself."

Hu Rongrong tried her best to stall for time, "Then can you tell me what exactly happened back then?"

“I’m sorry, no. It involves too many secrets. So far, only five people, including myself, know about it. They don’t want too many people to know. To be honest, I’m a little afraid of them. I don’t want to make them angry.”

Hu Rongrong then asked, "Can you tell us what the Nuwa Project is?"

"Heh..." This thing's laugh is really awful. "The Nuwa Plan is just a deceptive facade. The real purpose is... well, forget it. You're going to die soon anyway, so telling you won't help." The blood-soaked man slowly raised his hand. "I guarantee the whole process won't last long. You won't even feel any pain before you become corpses. You're really lucky to have met me. If you had met someone else, they would have tortured you before killing you."

“Wait a minute, I have another question,” Xia Chen asked. “You killed Dr. Wei at the police station, didn’t you?”

The blood-covered man was taken aback at first, then said in surprise, "How did you know? I did it very cleanly, without leaving any clues. You can't find any evidence to prove that I did it. It's not a big deal, just helping a friend solve a small problem, nothing more."

Xia Chen gave a knowing smile.

The blood-soaked man roared, "Could it be that old bastard who told you? Impossible, he wouldn't dare."

Xia Chen didn't have a good impression of Mr. X, so he might as well betray him. "It was a guy who called himself Mr. X who told us this, and it was also him who told us about your fear of formaldehyde solution."

"That old bastard has gone too far. After I've dealt with you, I'll settle the score with him." The black smoke inside the room grew thicker and thicker, the light from the hand-held lamp couldn't penetrate it. Their vision began to blur, and the six huddled together, awaiting their unknown fate. The blood-soaked man walked silently, and they couldn't pinpoint his location.

After waiting for several minutes, black smoke completely enveloped the dark room, but nothing happened. However, a terrified scream came from the darkness: "It's you! No way! How could you be here? How are you still alive?"

Ye Cheng asked in a low voice, "Damn it, who did the blood man encounter? What kind of person could scare him like this?"

Xia Chen said, "Whatever it is, we'd better stay put."

The blood-soaked man cried out in terror, "Hawkeye, what are you doing? Are you going to kill me? No, you can't do this! I'll stand by you and fight the old woman with you. Or you can lock me back in that big jar. I swear, I'll never run away again. Oh... no... Hawkeye..." After a flash of yellow light, the dark room fell silent.

"What happened?" Hu Rongrong asked in alarm.

Ye Cheng said, "Do we look like we know? Everyone is just like you. Let's wait a little longer, and we'll find out what happened."

The dark room became very quiet, so quiet that only the breathing of the six people could be heard.

As the shadowy figure gradually dissipated, everyone discovered a pool of foul-smelling blood on the floor of the dark room. It wasn't hard to guess that this was the indestructible Blood Man, now dead. Su Youqing lay unconscious on the floor.

Ye Cheng found a hexagonal red crystal in the blood, resembling a ruby. When gently shaken, red liquid flowed within it. Xia Chen guessed that it was the blood core, but how it was activated remained a mystery. The blood-man's death screams were still fresh in everyone's memory, and they remembered a terrifying name—Eagle Eye.

Ye Cheng frowned upon seeing Liu Yanting's mangled body. Luo Xie patted his shoulder, "If you're having trouble, I'll take care of it for you."

Ye Cheng was overjoyed, "That's great, you're such a good person." If Ye Cheng had known how Luo Xie would handle things, he would never have said that.

The next morning, a large sack containing Liu Yanting's dismembered body was found in front of the police station. Luo Xie's solution was simple: put the body in the sack and dump it somewhere. They usually disposed of it in the middle of nowhere; this was the first time they'd done it in front of a police station.

In class the next day, Luo Shimin saw Xia Chen writing something in his black notebook again and asked, "Is that the notebook in your hand the legendary horror file?"

Xia Chen smiled brightly and replied with two words, "That's right."

Volume 3 Fly Eyes

sequence

Ishi College has many terrifying places. Even on a bright, sunny day, if you sit with a few friends in these areas for less than five minutes, the hairs on your body will stand on end, and a chill will run down your spine. If you ask them what the scariest place is, their answer will be the same: the old building. This old European-style building, weathered by time, holds countless secrets and terrifying legends. Everyone who steps into it has this feeling: there's an eye constantly watching you from behind. But if you suddenly turn around, all you find behind you is endless darkness.

If it's your first day at Yishi Academy, your deskmate will definitely tell you the most important rule: never go into the old buildings after dark. Violator—Death!!!

Of all the horror stories about old buildings, the most terrifying is undoubtedly the legend of the Many-Eyed Woman. Long, long ago, when this place was a nursing academy, the Many-Eyed Woman was a young student there. One day, she fell in love with a new young teacher. Too afraid to confess her feelings, she confided her secret to her best friend. Days continued to pass until one day, she saw her best friend walking hand-in-hand with the teacher on campus. In those days, holding hands was tantamount to publicly acknowledging their relationship. The Many-Eyed Woman hated her best friend intensely; she was certain her friend had used some despicable means to get him.

The girl with many eyes began to secretly follow them and eavesdrop on their conversations. The male teacher praised her friend for having a pair of beautiful and captivating eyes more than once.

Are her eyes not pretty?

Hatred accumulated little by little, until one day it erupted. Inside the old building, the multi-eyed woman stabbed her best friend and male teacher to death with a scalpel, gouging out their eyeballs. She then gouged four holes in her own face and stuffed the eyeballs back in. Amidst terrifying, maniacal laughter, the multi-eyed woman vanished from the old building. Rumor has it that the multi-eyed woman did not die; she lurks within the old building, and if you are alone there at night, she will rush out of the darkness, kill you, and gouge out your eyeballs.

Rumor has it that Tang Ying, who obtained the terrifying files, had his eyeballs gouged out by the multi-eyed woman.

Of course, these were all rumors; no one had actually seen the multi-eyed woman. All the students knew it was just a rumor, and still no one dared to approach the old building after nightfall. After the lock on the old building's door was cut, the door was never locked again, and no one dared to go in at night to steal anything.

In the dead of night, a crescent moon hung low, its cold light silently illuminating the desolate earth. A dark figure darted into the old building like lightning.

Due to a design flaw, only a small amount of moonlight could penetrate the old building, leaving the corridors pitch black. Rapid footsteps sounded, and a dark figure ran down the corridor without turning on the lights or using a flashlight. He seemed very familiar with the place. He appeared to be searching for something.

The black figure let out heavy breathing.

He suddenly stopped in his tracks; there seemed to be something in the darkness before him.

The shadowy figure cried out in terror, "How...how...could it be you! Impossible...you...should have...disappeared!"

"Heh heh... You think you can make me disappear so easily? I should thank them; they're the ones who made me who I am today." With a terrifying laugh, a woman emerged from the darkness, her eyes gleaming with an eerie light. The woman said fiercely, "I won't kill you tonight, but you must deliver a message back to those old fogies: I'm back. I won't let 'Plan Nuwa' succeed. Duan Ganxuanbang is dead, and I won't let them get away with this."

The dark figure gave an "oh" and fled in panic.

The woman stood there for a long time, emanating a cold aura.

Xia Chen didn't see this scene. If he had, he would have exclaimed loudly, "I know this woman!"

001 The Terrifying Staircase

In the restaurant, Luo Shimin sat opposite Xia Chen. She was clearly dressed up carefully today. She even wore perfume, and her body exuded a faint fragrance. Her clothes were beautiful and refreshing. Every boy who passed by turned his head to look. After realizing that it was Luo Shimin, their eyes widened in disbelief.
