The phone is unlocked.
Xiao Gao has a lot of apps installed on his phone.
Lu Shi was very glad that he had been tutored by Wei Jin, otherwise he would not have known what the functions of these software programs were.
The first app he opened was WeChat.
After opening WeChat, Lu Shi entered a chat interface.
The person Xiao Gao was chatting with was nicknamed "Mei Bao," and their chat background was a burning rose.
Xiao Gao probably has a habit of clearing his chat history regularly; his chat history with Mei Bao only lasted one day.
[Meibao: There's an event in the group this weekend, wanna come? A really awesome beauty blogger is coming!]
[Black Orange (Xiao Gao's WeChat nickname): No.]
[Meibao: Bao, what's wrong? Did those nasty men at your company bully you again?]
[Black Orange: I...I'm fine, just tired.]
[Meibao: What kind of relationship do we have? You should tell me what's on your mind!]
[Black Orange: I don't want to live anymore.]
[Black Orange: I shouldn't have been born.]
Out of the corner of his eye, Lu Shi glanced at Xiao Gao, who was curled up on the bed. The subsequent chat history was all Mei Bao trying to persuade him, while Xiao Gao never replied.
Fortunately, he did not choose to take his own life.
Just as Lu Shi was about to exit the chat interface to see what Xiao Gao was talking about with others, his phone suddenly started vibrating violently.
The burning rose on the screen turned to ashes, replaced by a faint, ever-changing bloody handprint.
After the bloody handprint faded, a line of text appeared:
[Emergency call]
[Gao Yang, 15 years old]
There wasn't even a reject option on the phone screen, so Lu Shi gritted his teeth and had no choice but to press the answer button.
"ah!!"
It was a piercing scream.
"Help me! Is there anyone who can save me?!"

Chapter 30
☪ Good Family Apartment 5
"Ring ring..."
Lu Shi was pushed. He held his forehead, feeling like his head was about to explode.
The person who had just pushed him said, "Hey, Gao Yang, school's over, why are you still sleeping!"
Gao Yang... Lu Shi felt that the name was very familiar.
He seemed to have heard it somewhere before.
"Gao Yang! Come out!"
A loud, rough shout at the door startled the boy standing in front of Lu Shi, who scrambled out of the classroom.
He remembered.
Gao Yang was his roommate. Lu Shi narrowed his eyes. Was this a new world within the instance?
As expected of an A-rank dungeon, it's much more interesting than the Plague Prison.
He should now be Gao Yang, the 15-year-old Gao Yang who called him for help.
Seeing that Lu Shi didn't react at all, the people outside angrily kicked the back door of the classroom:
"Gao Yang, what are you pretending to be deaf and dumb for? Get out here right now!"
Little did they know, Lu Shi wasn't pretending to be deaf and dumb; he was actually studying his school uniform very carefully.
Back when he was still in the sect, the disciples would wear the same clothes.
However, compared to the blue and white school uniform with armbands, Lu Shi thought his current outfit looked much better.
The person standing at the door finally couldn't hold back any longer. He rushed into the classroom, then easily grabbed Lu Shi by the collar and lifted him up like a chick.
"I'm calling you, can't you hear me?!"
Lu Shi pushed the other person away without hesitation, but unfortunately his body was too weak at the moment. When Lu Shi pushed hard, he was actually pulled back a few steps.
The boy standing in front of him had dark skin and a buzz cut that was almost bald.
His gaze toward Lu Shi was filled with nothing but contempt and disgust.
"Hey, are you mute? Why don't you answer my questions?!"
The man shoved Lu Shi, making him fall to the ground.
"I don't know you!"
Lu Shi hated his own weakness and the fact that all his magic had failed him. This made his words lack conviction.
Otherwise, why would he be so foolish as to let this unfriendly person bully him at will?
Given Lu Shi's personality, he would have beaten this person to a pulp long ago.
In the cultivation world, even if the people in a sect have a bad relationship, they will still be wary of the sect's rules and the all-knowing master, and will never fight among themselves.
Therefore, Lu Shi found it hard to understand why the person in front of him, as Gao Yang's fellow disciple, would fight so violently in the school!
Wei Jin probably didn't realize that teaching Lu Shi only modern knowledge wasn't enough. At least for now, Lu Shi struggled to understand what school violence was.
"Whether you know me or not is not important." The dark-skinned boy crossed his arms and looked down at Lu Shi, ignoring the part about Lu Shi.
There were actually a few people in the classroom, but they were all quickly packing their bags, acting as if they were invisible. Not a single person came over to say a word for Lu Shi.
"You know Yang Yi, right?" He simply plopped down in Lu Shi's chair, crossed his legs, and sized Lu Shi up.
Gao Yang's face is actually quite delicate, but his long hair makes him look a bit like a girl.
For boys of this age, no one cares if you're ugly, but if you look like a girl, you're an oddball and will be attacked by the crowd.
This is Gao Yang's predicament, but unfortunately, Lu Shi, who came from the cultivation world, cannot understand it at all.
In his world, long hair on a man is considered elegant, and good looks on a man are considered beautiful.
Just as he was about to blurt out that he didn't know Lu, he suddenly shut up.
In that instant, he lost control of his body again, and could only watch helplessly as he opened his mouth to speak:
"Yang Yi, what does he want from me?"
Although there was no mirror, Lu Shi could tell from Gao Yang's impatient tone that he must be very excited.
In contrast, the boy sitting in the chair looking down at him had an increasingly contemptuous and disgusted expression.
"He wants you to go to the auditorium; he's waiting for you there."
After saying that, the boy clapped his hands and said, "Hurry up and go, or you'll be in big trouble if Yang Yi gets impatient!"
After saying that, the boy left the classroom without looking back.
Lu Shi had already stood up from the ground. He disgustedly wiped the dust off his body with a piece of paper, and his legs were trembling.
He was not afraid, of course; he was fighting for control of the body.
So one of the students who hadn't left the classroom listened in horror to Lu Shi talking to himself in the back row:
"Don't get agitated, go slowly!"
"That person clearly came looking for you with ill intentions, why are you in such a hurry!"
"Gao Yang, even I can't save you now!"
The student finally grabbed his schoolbag and hurriedly ran out of the classroom.
Lu Shi's legs were very disobedient; his heart had already flown to the auditorium. But Lu Shi himself was not in a hurry.
Gao Yang was in a bad situation at school; he was bullied and no one in his class helped him.
Unfortunately, Lu Shi had no memory of Gao Yang. He could only tell from the man's attitude that Yang Yi, who was looking for him, was definitely up to no good.
Although it was a dream, a dream that had already happened, Lu Shi still stubbornly wanted to change the ending.
It was all because of Gao Yang's pitiful cry for help on the phone.
A drowning man on the verge of death is willing to grab onto anyone who can help him. He was once left without help, but now Lu Shi is willing to help others.
"I am probably the most unqualified Demon Lord."
Before leaving, Lu Shi could only put the only weapon in Gao Yang's schoolbag into his pocket.
It was a utility knife.
When Lu Shi walked out of the classroom, he didn't even need to ask anyone where the auditorium was. His legs seemed to have an autopilot, leading him to the auditorium.
At this moment, Lu Shi looked around and was surprised to find that this school was much larger than the schools in the cultivation world.
He was even a little envious of the students in this world. With such good conditions, why didn't they study hard? Why were they thinking about fighting amongst themselves all the time?
Inside the auditorium.
A boy with short, choppy hair and fairly handsome features was squatting on the large stage of the auditorium, with a blue envelope under his sneakers.
"He's not here yet? Old Huang, did you really go and tell him?" Yang Yi glared at the dark-skinned boy.
