Mu Yu shook his head: "No, I searched all the areas outside the school before I came in, and there was no trace of them. Moreover, I can't contact them via the terminal; there's no signal when I call."
Ruan Minh Thu seemed thoughtful. He said, "They left a message saying that if the barrier was broken before the people who were taken away were found, those people would die. They might have had that idea."
Gather most of the people together and make them believe that only these people were captured, and the rest escaped on their own. Once they find the main force, they will then begin to break the barrier.
When the barrier breaks and that small group of people die, it will surely leave an indelible shadow on everyone present.
Thinking of what Ruan Mingchu might have said, everyone in the lounge shuddered.
Ruan Mingchu thought to himself, "Is this the real trick to buy me time?" He didn't really think so.
"In short, if everyone can, we should divide the area into sections and search carefully again," Ruan Mingchu said.
The crowd responded.
Many people have rested for quite some time, so their combat effectiveness is uncertain, but their general mobility has recovered, and they can still find people.
Their main focus this time was on uncommon locations, such as cubicles and basements.
However, nothing was found.
No trace of the seven missing people was found in any of the rooms that had been built.
A suffocating atmosphere permeated the crowd; the most agonizing state was when no one was alive or dead.
Hao Youyou wiped the sweat from her forehead and plopped down on the sofa. "We can't exactly dig three feet into the ground, can we?"
These words were like a wake-up call. Hao Youyou realized everyone was looking at her and stammered, "Burying...burying her underground is disgusting, isn't it?"
Although the Miracles organization claims to be followers of God, it is actually a horrific and illegal organization that commits numerous evils. It would be strange if what they do wasn't disgusting.
Moreover, if someone is buried underground, it might be okay if it's for a short time, but if it's for a long time, they could die.
Ruan Mingchu said, "I would appreciate it if everyone could look for any land that has been disturbed recently."
An hour later, everyone reunited in the lounge.
"have."
"There's still a lot."
"Everyone found two or three different spots where the soil had been turned over."
Damn it, the teachers and students who didn't understand the organization's purpose cursed and complained, feeling that they were being deliberately played.
But it's always good to have a direction, so everyone went to the cleaning staff's tool room, picked up their tools, and started digging a hole.
"Hey! I found a metal box here!"
"I have one too!"
"Found another one!"
...
Everyone moved the metal boxes they found to the open space in front of the administration building.
"One, two... thirteen, fourteen... twenty-eight!"
"Holy crap, weren't there only seven people missing? How come there are twenty-eight boxes?" he said, lifting up a box to test it. "It feels like there are people in all of them."
Ruan Mingchu rubbed his temples, gaining a deeper understanding of the miraculous power of the Miracle Organization.
"Let's divide it among ourselves and open it."
The metal box is a cuboid, made to human proportions, but slightly larger than a person. Like a cabinet, its five sides are welded together, with a door that can be opened and closed, and a 150-digit combination lock about 1.5 meters long.
A notice was prominently displayed on the door stating that the box could only be opened with a combination lock; any other forceful opening would cause it to explode.
Mu Yu tried to use the [Spatial Gate] to get the person out of the box, but just like the rooms, it was surrounded by a barrier, and he couldn't use his spatial skills.
The only option is to honestly unlock the combination lock.
What's disgusting is that it's not a puzzle game; there are no hints about the password, and you can only rely on luck to try them one by one.
Ha, a 150-character password, and it's only 26 letters long. Will it take forever to figure it out?
Ruan Mingchu's first urgent desire to kill someone.
No, killing them would be too lenient.
Lock them up and make them try thousands of digits of password. If they can't figure it out, they'll keep getting stabbed! Ruan Mingchu thought bitterly.
Mu Xiaoyu, who is usually very impatient and easily irritated, did not show any signs of agitation this time.
Mu Yu secretly told Ruan Mingchu, "I have a skill that might come in handy."
Ruan Mingchu: "What?"
A little embarrassed to admit it, Mu Yu said, "There's a skill called 'Koi Fairy,' which makes you exceptionally lucky after using it."
Ruan Mingchu had always believed that there are gains and losses. Hearing Mu Yu say this, he didn't care how lucky he was; he only cared about Mu Yu himself. "What are the aftereffects?"
Mu Yu said, "There might be a day when I'm unlucky, but that's not the main thing. At most, I'll encounter a bird that flies over my head and poops on me. The main aftereffect is that I'll develop a fish tail."
His voice grew softer and softer until Ruan Mingchu could barely hear him anymore.
Ruan Mingchu asked, "What will happen?"
Mu Yu blushed and said, "Fish tail."
"It's not the beautiful tail of you mermaids, it's the tail of a carp."
Therefore, Mu Yu accepted the fact that mermaids existed very easily when he first learned about them, and he had no problem at all when he learned that Ruan Mingchu was a mermaid. He even envied Ruan Mingchu's beautiful tail.
Ruan Mingchu imagined it for a moment, and his blood was pumping. He touched his nose and breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, he hadn't had a nosebleed.
He swallowed hard, concealing his true thoughts, and said to Mu Yu, "Then I'll have to trouble you."
Mu Yu patted his face, "Hmm."
Gongzhu Shen also remembered Mu Yu's "Koi Fairy" skill. Back then, when they watched the Koi Fairy cartoon together, he was particularly envious of how Mu Yu had mastered such an awesome skill while he himself had nothing.
Turning to look for Mu Yu, I saw him whispering to Ruan Mingchu again, very close to him.
This has gone beyond normal social distancing. Gong Zhushen felt a little jealous. Even Mu Yu didn't like him being so close to him. Looking like the person you like has its advantages.
At this time, he was completely unaware of the existence of the AA relationship and only thought that Mu Yu and the other person were just good friends.
After thinking for a moment, Gong Zhushen walked over.
Mu Yu and Ruan Mingchu had finished their conversation and were about to use their skills to unlock it.
Gong Zhushen followed him and asked, "Are you very familiar with that person?"
Mu Yu nodded subconsciously, then suddenly remembered his script. He thought about it for a moment and decided it wasn't necessary to create one. Simply concealing something wasn't deception, but once the script was out, it would definitely be considered deception, and Mu Yu didn't want to treat his good friend that way.
As for such an exciting plot, it would be better to have robots participate.
Gong Zhushen wanted to ask more, but Mu Yu told him bluntly, "The relationship is complicated, don't ask."
"Oh," Gong Zhushen's greatest strength is that he has no curiosity that he shouldn't have. Since Mu Yu is not telling him now, there must be a reason why he can't tell him. When he can find out, Mu Yu will definitely not hide it from him.
In general, Gongzhu Shen and Mu Yu are truly good brothers in this regard, sharing the same thoughts.
The skill of 【Koi Fairy】 is activated.
Mu Yu's facial features underwent subtle changes, especially the appearance of a fish-scale-like red mark between his eyebrows.
He ruffled his hair a couple of times to bury the red mark beneath.
Mu Yu only passively used this skill once when he first learned it, and after experiencing its aftereffects, he never used it again. This was partly because he disliked conjuring a fish tail, and partly because Mu Yu didn't like to rely on fleeting luck.
However, this skill is especially useful in times like these.
After using his skill, Mu Yu arrived at a box and randomly dialed a letter on each of the 150 combination locks.
As he finished turning the last finger, the box opened with a "click".
The box was opened, and inside lay a person in a coma. People who knew him helped him out and took him back to the lounge.
Based on his own casual idea at the time, Mu Yu opened seven boxes in a row, and there was someone in each box.
At this point, all ninety-two arrested teachers and students, along with Hao Youyou, Gong Zhushen, and Ding Junji, have been safely reunited.
Mu Yu opened the eighth box, and this time it wasn't a person inside, but a robot. It was clearly brought in on purpose to confuse everyone.
There's no need to open the rest; let those bored people study them at their leisure.
Mu Yu then took out the array-breaking disc and whispered, "I found it in Men Hao's treasure vault. It's pretty powerful."
Ruan Mingchu took the array-breaking plate and examined it, but couldn't figure out what it was all about.
The six sides of the Breaking Formation Plate are divided into twelve equal parts, each inscribed with different characters.
Ruan Mingchu didn't recognize these characters. He considered himself to have seen a lot of things, including most of the ancient and extinct scripts. But this script was completely different from interstellar script, which made Ruan Mingchu think more deeply about the origins of Men Hao and Tu Aotian.
Since realizing some problems, Gong Zhushen has paid more attention to Mu Yu and Ruan Mingchu's brother, and now he finds them standing very close together.
He found it strange that they were always sticking together. Gong Zhushen touched his face. Although he didn't look like Ruan Mingchu, he was still quite handsome. As a good brother, it would be a great source of pride to take him out.
Ruan Mingchu already had some ideas about going out, and now with the help of the formation-breaking plate, he quickly mastered the method of breaking the formation.
Suddenly, the weather changed dramatically, darkness pressed down from the sky, and it seemed as if a vortex was gathering overhead.
Ruan Mingchu frowned, sensing something was wrong, but it was too late.
The restraining ring that Ruan Mingchu had shattered emitted light, which was absorbed by the vortex above his head. When the light disappeared, the vortex had already enveloped Ruan Mingchu.
Mu Yu, who was standing nearby, rushed over and grabbed Ruan Mingchu's wrist. Then the vortex disappeared, and the two of them vanished without a trace.
Everyone rushed over anxiously, searching everywhere, some even wanting to pick up tools again and dig three feet into the ground.
Soon, those waiting outside the school discovered that the formation had been broken. They cautiously entered to rescue the trapped people and saw them running around in panic, with many lying on the ground shouting to the ground.
The rescue operation leader, thinking they had been tortured to the point of being abnormal, said in a softer tone than ever before, "Don't worry, we're here to rescue you."
Gong Zhushen ran over to him and said, "Mu Yu and someone have disappeared!"
The person in charge was a little confused: "What did you say?"
"Mu Yu has disappeared!"
The person in charge just wanted to faint.
The moment he was enveloped by the vortex, Ruan Mingchu felt intense spatial fluctuations. Only then did he understand the true purpose of the Miracle Organization; everything before had been paving the way for this moment.
He removed the binding rings hanging around everyone's necks, and the shattered binding rings would then be added to the formation after he broke it, activating the teleportation array hidden in the shadows.
