Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

Chapter 56 Taking You Home

As Li Yelai opened the cabinet, the glass that had been placed inside crashed down with a loud bang.

The glass shattered with a resounding crash against the ground, and the glass beads that spilled from the cup bounced back and forth on the floor, creating a deadly melody that echoed through the quiet classroom.

Upon seeing this scene and hearing this enormous sound...

Everyone's expressions changed.

They also received a text message on their phones, and only by following the rules in the message, as Huang Du reminded them, could they avoid being harmed by the statue.

The first rule is that you should not chase or shout in the venue, and please keep quiet!

Therefore, even when girls cry, they suppress their cries and dare not make a loud noise. Previously, someone didn't believe in the superstition and spoke a little too loudly, and was attacked by the statue, and is still lying on the ground in shock.

But now, with Li Yelai's actions, a great deal of noise has been made.

This caused all the statues in the room to turn around and look at Li Yelai, no longer bound by other rules, and they suddenly came to life and rushed towards Li Yelai.

In the official analysis, the strange tales of rules are also ranked in order of priority.

The rule for these statues is that they cannot be out of sight; once they are no longer observed, they will quickly move to the nearest human and inflict harm.

These are their unique rules, but if a higher-priority rule is violated first.

They will then no longer be bound by this unique rule.

For example, the first rule is to run fast and make a loud noise.

For example, the second rule is to make eye contact with them.

These two rules, which are listed first, have higher priority.

Therefore, when Li Yelai made a loud noise, they immediately launched an attack on him.

Li Yelai underestimated the malice between people.

In Li Yelai's mind, he had only met that guy named Huang Du a few times at school. The two had almost no interaction and had never had any conflict.

Who would have thought that the other party would use strange rules to harm them?

But in reality, Huang Du already harbored resentment towards Li Yelai from the very first day.

From the outside, Li Yelai appears to be handsome and tall, and he wears expensive clothes, suggesting that he comes from a very well-off family.

Perfectly fits the description of a "tall, rich, and handsome" man.

This attracted the attention of many girls, and Huang Du heard girls talking about Li Yelai more than once.

More importantly, Li Yelai also has a beautiful girl like Cheese by his side.

This made Huang Du extremely jealous.

Especially after seeing in the notes that Cheese and Li Ye came into the same room.

Every time I see the cheese's alluring face, this resentment intensifies.

He wished he could immediately replace Li Ye.

He chose to send young and beautiful girls to the school in order to attract their attention through ghost stories and ultimately achieve his goal.

Instead of letting these rich kids pick up girls!
He believed that the reason no one chose him was because they didn't see his strengths; they were blinded by money and looks.

If you can showcase yourself well in the ghost stories and rescue these panicked girls, you will surely win their hearts.

Whether it's the suspension bridge effect or a hero rescuing a damsel in distress, it's all part of the story

He has a complete understanding of all the rules of ghost stories and how to deal with them, and even knows secret rules that others don't know.

They can be said to be in an invincible position.

Now that the strange tales have begun, he, possessing trump cards, intends to directly kill Li Yelai.

He had already set a trap in the cabinet; whoever opened it would undoubtedly become the statue's target.

So he hid his jealousy and hatred and tricked Li Ye into opening the cabinet.

What's the use of being handsome? Does it stop the statue monster from attacking you?

What's the use of having money at home? Can it protect you now?
Even if everyone eventually leaves the ghost story, the responsibility won't fall on him; it's just Li Yelai's bad luck.

The students were terrified as they watched the statue rushing toward Li Yelai, but dared not scream, covering their mouths tightly.

Huang Du, however, was giving Li Yelai a malicious smile from an angle they couldn't see.

On the other side, Li Yelai came to his senses after being stunned.

His gaze swept quickly over Huang Du, and he realized that he had been tricked.

The other party harbored malice towards him, believed he had victory in his grasp, and had no intention of continuing to hide.

Is this yellow-toned figure the mastermind behind it all? Or one of the masterminds?

I wonder if this counts as the effect of inevitably encountering a strong enemy?
Thinking this to himself, Li Yelai immediately turned around and quickly ran out of the classroom door behind him.

In the rules, a safety passage with a green light is equivalent to a safe zone.

If he could get there, he wouldn't have to fight these guys. After all, he didn't know their strength, and Li Ye wanted to avoid combat as much as possible.

The next second, the four statues smashed the seats blocking their way and rushed out of the classroom in single file, beginning a rapid pursuit of Li Yelai.

This made Huang Du's smile even more sinister.

"Now you're even more finished!"

Running around in the museum's ghost stories is out of the question. Otherwise, it'll attract even more strange occurrences.

It might even attract 'security guards' patrolling everywhere.

That's the most powerful oddity in the museum. More and more statues are running past the door.

Huang Du laughed inwardly.

Those rich kids who have everything he desires suffer in front of him.

What could be more exciting than this?
He was already fantasizing about what would happen if Li Yelai was seriously injured or even died.

You can then find and rescue the short-haired girl trapped in the ghost story.

Perhaps I could even comfort her and take advantage of her vulnerability.

"Aren't we going to save him?" a student asked in a terrified tone, clearly relying on Huang Du as their pillar of support.

Huang Du sneered inwardly, but his face showed regret: "It's too late. Let's take this opportunity to leave and not waste his sacrifice."

As he spoke, he reached out and helped the female student beside him up, feigning concern.

"What about them?" a student asked, pointing to the wounded lying on the ground.

Huang Du shook his head again: "It seems that those statues won't attack people who have lost consciousness. We can't take them with us, so we'll just have to leave them for now. We must leave the art museum and this school now. We can't have any burdens."

After some hesitation, the students had no choice but to give up for safety reasons.

Follow Huang Du out of the classroom and head towards the stairwell, which is in the opposite direction of the emergency exit.

On the other side, Li Yelai moved extremely fast and quickly reached the location of the safety exit.

But just as Li Ye approached...

The warning light, which was originally green, suddenly turned blood red!

The red lights illuminated the surroundings, making the entire emergency exit door appear even more ominous.

Museum Ghost Stories #5: If the emergency exit door has a green light, you can go through. If it has a red light, do not approach!
Li Yelai stopped in his tracks and immediately shouted angrily, "Fine, fine, so this is how you play the game?"

He wasn't sure if it was just bad luck that he happened to run into a red light, or if someone had deliberately changed the color. In any case, Li Yelai could no longer use the emergency exit.

So, Li Ye turned around and looked behind him.

He moved incredibly fast, putting some distance between himself and the statues. But as he ran, a large number of statues poured out of the room. I estimated there were more than twenty.

At this moment, they were all rapidly approaching him. Among them were stone statues and bronze statues.

Leading the charge were two stone lions. They were as agile as living lions, and they bared their sharp fangs at Li Yelai.

No, they are monsters more terrifying than live lions.

After all, lions are made of flesh and blood, while lions are made entirely of hard stone. They are impervious to blades and spears, and even a sliding tackle is ineffective against them.

Since it's unavoidable, we'll have to resort to the last resort.

So, Li Yelai quickly reached out and wiped his face.

Unlock Xiang Yu's face mask, and the Overlord's double pupils will appear!

The next instant, he raised his foot and kicked the stone lion right next to his face in the forehead.

With a 'crack', the stone lion's head shattered instantly. The kick struck its weak point directly, crushing it without applying much force.

Having defeated his enemy in one move, Li Yelai's offensive continued unabated. With a fierce slash of his molten axe, he cleaved another stone lion in half at the waist. Then, stepping on the headless body of the first stone lion, he leaped up and pounced on the nearest statue.

It was a muscular, naked human-shaped statue. It looked like something like David.

But it didn't even have time to react. Li Yelai cleaved it in two with a single axe blow. Li Yelai grabbed one half and, with terrifying force, swung it around and smashed it onto the head of the fourth statue.

The stone statue shattered, and dirt and ash flew everywhere. The fourth statue's head was smashed, and it crashed to the ground.

In an instant, all four statues were destroyed, and the statues were all stunned.

The light above Li Yelai's head flickered, then exploded with a bang.

As darkness fell, sparks flew, outlining Li Yelai's figure.

But this also stopped the strange statues from moving forward.

Although they are merely strange occurrences derived from ghost stories, they are not without intelligence and instincts.

At this moment, for the first time since their birth, they felt fear!

All fear stems from insufficient firepower!
Then Li Yelai went all out!

On the other side, Huang Du and the others had already approached the stairwell.

Li Yelai attracted most of the statues, which meant they didn't encounter too much danger along the way.

They occasionally encountered a few statues, but under Huang Du's guidance, they passed through safely.

This brought tears of joy to some students, who felt they could finally escape this awful place.

The women looked at Huang Du with increasing admiration and worship. Many women also subconsciously moved closer to Huang Du.

This pleased Huang Du greatly. He believed that after a few more dangerous experiences, the girls would see him as a hero and allow him to take whatever he wanted.

However, at this moment.

A heavy object crashed down onto the ground not far away, shattering the floor tiles.

Everyone was startled, and some looked in alarm towards the source of the sound, fearing it might attract the attention of the other statues.

However, upon seeing the object clearly, the scholars' eyes widened, and Huang Du's smile instantly froze.

Because, not far behind them, lay a broken statue head!

Everyone turned around in surprise and saw a bizarre scene.

The terrifying statues were fleeing rapidly, as if some monster was chasing them. In the corridor behind them, light bulbs were exploding one by one.

Darkness gradually encroached upon the passage, but it also drove away the strange statues.

A strange statue fought back fiercely, rushing into the darkness. But after a sharp crack, it never emerged again.

'Crack' 'Bang' 'Bang'

Various eerie sounds emanated from the darkness.

That was the sound of a statue shattering, the sound of metal being cut.

That was a creature hunting a strange monster!

Everyone watched in disbelief as a human-shaped stone statue suddenly knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly to the other side.

This left everyone wide-eyed and in disbelief.

The statue that was once terrifying is now kowtowing and begging for mercy?

What kind of monster was chasing them?

The next second, they saw a figure wielding an axe emerge from the shadows and stomp on the statue's head, crushing it.

Then, the light bulb above his head suddenly malfunctioned and exploded, causing darkness to engulf the figure once again.

The remaining statues grew increasingly terrified and frantically moved towards the direction where the group was.

The group was quite frightened, but the statues ultimately failed to get close to them.

The last human-shaped statue is clearly the bronze statue of the Living Thinker.

When it was about ten meters away from the crowd, it suddenly lost its left lower leg and then crashed to the ground.

It seemed to let out a terrified but silent howl, frantically scratching at the ground, trying to escape the monster behind it.

People could even see the pleading on its face.

But darkness caught up with it, and a hand with distinct joints reached out from the shadows, grabbed its right leg, and dragged it into the darkness.

The Thinker statue struggled frantically, leaving several scratch marks on the ground, before being swallowed by darkness.

After a series of sparks and the sound of metal cutting, there was no further noise.

Then, a figure emerged from the darkness.

It was none other than Li Yelai.

He walked out of the darkness with a calm expression, as if nothing had happened.

But it made everyone feel a sense of oppression.

Huang Du's face turned deathly pale. In the supernatural tales, he was supposed to be an invincible being.

They should have been able to roam freely through ghost stories like deities, using these stories to determine the life and death of everyone.

But what's up with the man in front of me?

Why were all the monsters eliminated? Why is this guy even more terrifying than a monster?
An overwhelming sense of fear drove Huang Du to want to escape from this place.

But Li Yelai was already standing in front of him.

"Wait, classmate! I didn't know there would be anything in there either," Huang Du quickly explained, he had never imagined such a situation.

Humans have actually eradicated the supernatural and bizarre! This is simply incomprehensible power! How can such power exist?
He must.
Before his thoughts could even settle, Li Yelai had already raised his hand and punched him in the face.

Before Huang Du lost consciousness, what he saw were those few flying teeth.
Some students stared in astonishment at Li Yelai, then at Huang Du, whose face was distorted.

They dared not utter any criticism, but instead watched Li Yelai nervously.

"Don't be afraid, I'm an official. This strange incident is related to him," Li Yelai explained simply, then said to the group, "This floor is safe now. Go back and take the wounded. I'll take you all home!"
