Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

Chapter 58 Door Card
Cheese looked exhausted, her cheeks flushed and covered in sweat.

At this moment, she was resting weakly on Li Yelai's shoulder, her slightly damp hair clinging to Li Yelai's neck.

This allowed Li Yelai to feel her warm breath and body temperature, as well as her somewhat exhausted and tender body.

The two were in a somewhat ambiguous and alluring pose, which made Li Yelai's body stiffen.

Although Li Yelai occasionally saw things he shouldn't have seen when they were together, those were all accidents.

Li Yelai quickly recited the three great illusions of life several times in his mind before suppressing the wild thoughts in his head.

Cheese rested with Li Ye for a while and felt much better breathing.

Only then did she notice that her sweat had stained Li Yelai.

She asked in a low voice, somewhat embarrassed.

"Does what we're doing count as exchanging bodily fluids?"

Sure enough, cheese can't say anything serious!

Li Yelai's lips twitched, then he realized that sweat was indeed a type of bodily fluid, so he could only say with a twitching smile, "I feel that your expression is very ambiguous and could be misunderstood!"

Then, he helped Cheese back to the stairwell.

"What's going on?" Li Yelai asked, placing the cheese on the steps. "Is that the security captain? Or the master of ghost stories?"

This just sounds weird.

After all, the titles "Master of Ghost Stories" and "Security Captain" are too incongruous.

It's like saying, "Who goes there? I don't kill nameless nobodies!"

The other party replied, "I am a five-star general from Country Garden!"

There's a strong sense of incongruity.

But in reality, each ghost story area is independent. The strongest ghost in each area is known as the Ghost Story Overlord.

This oddity, known as the security captain, is the most powerful oddity in the art museum.

“Yes, it’s very powerful,” Cheese explained, adjusting his breathing.

While Li Yelai and Xinghuo were using their strength to break the strange tales.

Cheese is also searching for survivors on the first floor.

The first floor is an art exhibition room with a large number of copies of famous paintings.

When the ghost stories appeared, these scrolls became dangerous.

If someone looks at the painting, the painting will immediately transform into the person that person most wants to see.

Then, the victim will be drawn by a force, step by step closer to the painting. Once they are close, the figures in the painting will suddenly burst out and attack, causing the victim to lose consciousness, as if their thoughts have been swallowed up by the painting.

Faced with these bizarre rules, Cheese used his abilities to hypnotize everyone.

As long as they are asleep and don't look at the scroll, there is no danger.

Then, the cheese took some time and effort to prepare.

This hinted at and guided the two security oddities to attack each other.

She planned to eliminate the strange security guards one by one to remove the danger to Li Yelai, Xinghuo, and the others upstairs.

However, it was at that time that the king of ghost stories appeared.

Seemingly startled by the sounds of fighting, its massive and bulky figure appeared, and the chain in its hand slammed out instantly.

It instantly killed the two security guards who were killing each other.

And began to pursue the cheese. Not entirely confident of winning over the cheese, they had no choice but to retreat.

He even used his abilities to subtly lower his heart rate, barely managing to shake off the pursuers.

Therefore, when she saw Li Yelai, she was drenched in sweat and felt completely weak.

"It's a good thing I met you, otherwise someone else would have taken advantage of me," Cheese muttered, referring to her recent weakness.

"You've got it backwards! You were the one taking advantage of me just now!" Li Ye complained. It was his first time being used as a pillow by a girl, wasn't it? He was the one who was taken advantage of.

"Then why don't you take it back?" Cheese chuckled and spread her hands, her beautiful eyes seemingly sparkling.

Li Yelai was speechless for a moment; he really didn't dare.
He is twenty-three years old this year, more than twenty years before becoming a psionicist.

He didn't have much contact with women; he was too young when he was in school, and later his parents left, and he was busy with work and life. He stared blankly at the antique shop owner.

Aside from his sister, he really had no interaction with women.

For a moment, I really couldn't understand what Cheese was saying, and could only mutter "scoundrel" to myself.

Seeing that Li Yelai didn't move, Cheese snorted and thought, 'I gave you a chance, but you didn't use it.'

But soon, considering the current situation, both of them frowned.

Li Ye had just fought a strange security guard before coming here, and he knew very well that this strange person was not weak.

However, the two strange beings, who were not weak, were easily killed by the security captain.

This security captain is indeed very capable!

I don't know if the four of us psionicists working together can defeat it.

If that doesn't work, then we'll have to settle for second best.

Using the rules to deal with the security captain.

Fight if you can, eliminating the monsters is always the safest approach.

If you can't beat them, then try following the rules.

This is also the conclusion reached by the processor when faced with strange rules.

"It's very strong; we can't fight it head-on. It's best to use the rules to avoid it and prevent a battle," Cheese suggested. "It's very strong and has high defense. Its only problem is its slow movement speed. If all four of us go at it together, it'll be very risky."

“Indeed, it’s best not to fight head-on.” Li Yelai agreed and said, “I’ve captured someone who is suspected to be an accomplice of the owner of the Ghost Stories Notebook. Maybe we can get information from him.”

"Your luck is really that good? That's not like you!" Cheese was a little surprised, then nodded: "With me here, he can't hide it. Our Whispering Path is perfect for dealing with stubborn people like this!"

However, she was overthinking it.

Because Huang Du had already woken up during the time she was resting.

He sustained several more wounds.

The students and teachers who were rescued on the second floor learned that all their suffering was caused by Huang Du.

They gave Huang Du a very warm welcome, but then they knocked him awake.

If it weren't for Xinghuo and Yingliu stopping him, he probably would have been killed on the spot.

He had already lost several teeth to Li Yelai's punch, and then he was beaten up by the students on the third floor before being tied up.

As a result, he got beaten up by the students on the second floor.

So, after waking up, he rolled around on the ground in pain.

Seeing the group of classmates and teachers with fire in their eyes, he was terrified and confessed almost everything.

“A month ago, the third brother brought back a parchment scroll. It contained mysterious power, and after several experiments, we determined it could create ghost stories.” “That’s why we got this idea. We planned to do it at the school.”

"I'm guilty, I confess! Please stop hitting me! I beg you!"

Huang Du, who was tied up, opened his mouth, which was missing several teeth and was bleeding, and begged for mercy in pain with tears streaming down his face.

"How many accomplices do you have?" Li Yelai asked upon seeing this.

"Two!" Huang Du immediately replied, "The eldest and the third eldest in my dorm! I'm second eldest."

Li Yelai nodded slightly. His suspicions were correct; the two were indeed accomplices. He needed to relay the message to the branch as soon as possible.

Then he asked, "Do you know who I am?"

"You are...you are from the Security Bureau?" Huang Du looked up at Li Yelai, and recalling Li Yelai's strange behavior during the chase, he couldn't help but shudder. He felt like he had provoked someone he shouldn't have.

"If you didn't know my identity, why did you try to harm me?" Li Yelai frowned, thinking that his official identity had been exposed.

Huang Du dared not say anything more.

Cheese raised an eyebrow and immediately used his ability: "[Listen to me] Tell the truth!"

Huang Du mentally refused, but his mouth moved on its own: "Because I saw you and her being intimate, and I even know you slept in the same room! I'm jealous and want to take her place, so naturally I'd love to kill you so I can take advantage of the situation! I want her so badly, so someone like you has to die! So what if your family is rich and you're handsome?"

Li Yelai thought to himself, "The official cover-up is really well done."

How could a stingy guy who wouldn't even add sausage to his instant noodles be considered rich in Huang Du's eyes?

Cheese frowned, her beautiful brows furrowed. Although she usually talked a lot of flirtatious things, she still felt disgusted and chilled when she saw Huang Du expressing his desire for her in this way.

Under the influence of his abilities, Huang Du also revealed his and his accomplices' entire plan for carrying out this strange tale.

The leader plans to rescue wealthy people from the ghost stories, thereby gaining money and connections, and thus stepping into a different social class.

His plan is to rescue beautiful girls from the ghost stories, win their hearts as a hero, and incidentally kill a few guys he doesn't like.

The third brother's purpose is unclear; he seems to be obsessed with these strange tales and rules.

Upon hearing this, everyone was furious.

To think that something like this would drag thousands of people in the entire school into danger.

Many students, their eyes red with anger, stepped forward, intending to kill Huang Du, that beast.

Li Yelai raised his hand to block them, and continued to ask, "Is the thing you're carrying the key to breaking free from the ghost story?"

“Yes!” Huang Du’s face contorted with rage, but unable to resist the power of his delirium, he continued, “The parchment contains hidden rules you don’t know. And I can use these hidden rules to safely overcome the difficulties and, as a hero, rescue the beautiful girl!”

Li Yelai said with a mocking expression, "A hero saving a damsel in distress?"

“That’s right!” Huang Du struggled to respond.

"Deliberately creating danger, is that what you call being a hero?" a university professor scoffed.

The students all showed expressions of disdain.

Cheese and the others also looked displeased.

As processors, they found this behavior utterly abhorrent.

Because they have seen many real heroes.

"What if the hero's rescue of the damsel in distress fails?" Li Yelai asked again.

"With things so chaotic outside, even if I did something, no one would find out. At worst, I'd just kill someone to cover it up." Huang Du's voice sent chills down the spines of many girls.

Li Yelai frowned and continued to ask, "What are the purposes of these things you're carrying?"

They then took out the items they had taken from Huang Du: a key, an access card, a small mirror, and a flashlight.

"These are all helpful items for completing the ghost stories. The flashlight will keep the patrolling security guards at the art museum away. The other items are props from other ghost stories. The key is from the gymnasium, the mirror is from the dormitory, and the access card is from the school gate," Huang Du replied.

"If we hadn't shown up, how did you plan to escape the art museum?" Li Yelai asked again.

“Leaving the art museum at night is very difficult. You have to get the museum’s access card from the security office to open the museum’s only exit,” Huang Du said. “I originally planned to abandon a few people, deliberately let them trigger the rules to attract the security guards’ attention, and then take the access card myself. I would then escape the art museum with the girls.”

Upon hearing this, many boys looked grim. Unsurprisingly, they were the ones who were about to be abandoned.

Huang Du is obsessed with women, so he certainly wouldn't care about the lives of men.

Many people were still a little scared afterward. Fortunately, they met Li Yelai and the others, otherwise they wouldn't even know how they died.

Li Yelai continued, "Do you know how many security guards there are?"

“Four security guards.” Huang Du spoke with difficulty, his face filled with extreme fear. He revealed too many secrets, exposing the darkness in his heart.

Li Yelai discussed with Cheese and the others: "Since we need a key card, we must first lure away the security guards in the security room. There are four security guards. Xinghuo, Yingliu, and I killed one. Cheese, you killed two of them too. That leaves one, the security captain."

“Obtaining it away will allow me to take the access card from the security room.” Cheese pondered, “The speed must be fast, and the time spent luring it away must be long enough. There are still students downstairs. Even if I deactivate my ability to wake them up, many will still be unconscious after being affected.”

“Hmm, there are a lot of people, and some are injured and can’t run on their own. It will take some time to get them all away.” Li Yelai pondered, “If I use the Champion’s Mask and cast ‘Wind’, I should be able to lure the security captain away and keep a safe distance.”

The Shadow Army's enhancement of 'Wind' will greatly increase Li Yelai's speed.

“No.” Cheese shook his head seriously. “Don’t take the risk yourself. If you make a mistake, it could be dangerous. Don’t you have summoned creatures?”

Li Yelai nodded: "Should we send the dual-wielding knights to lure them away?"

This is indeed a good choice. The dual-wielding knight is quite strong and has the ability to dodge and hide by turning into mist.

It can effectively keep the enemy hanging.

It would be best to let him carry out the seduction plan.

“Let’s decide on this then. Have the dual-wielding knight lure it out of the security room and onto another staircase to the third floor. We’ll take the opportunity to go down to the first floor, take the students away, and then go into the security room to find the access card,” Cheese said. “We’re not sure if the security captain will come back along the way. So, we need to be quick!”

"Okay." Li Yelai nodded.

Then, Li Yelai shook the silver bell, to the astonishment of all the students and teachers.

A blurry figure appeared beside Li Yelai.

"I have a difficult task for you." Li Yelai patted the dual-sword knight on the shoulder.

The dual-wielding knight knelt on one knee
Then, a few minutes later, the dual-wielding knight suddenly appeared in the security room, his twin swords thrusting down fiercely.

The next second, an angry roar came from the first floor, and heavy footsteps boomed like thunder.

A massive figure burst out of the security room, chain swinging in his left hand and a huge, thick baton wielding in his right.

It was chasing after the dual-wielding knight who had just backstabbed it.

However, the dual-wielding knight flashed and appeared around the corner ahead. This enraged the security captain, who followed closely behind.

Then they saw the security captain's figure disappear at the stairwell.

Li Yelai and the others immediately rushed into the security room, intending to find the access card.

However, even after turning the security room upside down, they still couldn't find any access cards.

This made the psionicists' hearts sink.

Since there are no access cards inside the security room, that means...
The door card is with that security captain!
