Forbidden Zone of Deception

Chapter 78 Blackboard and Student Dormitories
At night, the Seventh Middle School of Dachang City is so quiet that only the sound of the wind can be heard.

Jiang Jin held a flashlight, its beam sweeping across the dark playground.

He has completed all the courses taught by Director Chen and has fully activated the Bloodstain Imprisonment ability.

His hunting rifle was slung across his back, its barrel gleaming coldly in the moonlight.

After learning the Bloodstained Imprisonment skill, you can fully activate the blood vessels in the Mourning Spear, which can be hidden from the sight of ordinary people.

Deathstroke followed silently behind him, its dark red fascia faintly visible in the night, its empty eyes scanning the surroundings warily.

As they approached the flagpole, the death knell suddenly stopped.

Jiang Jin's finger immediately touched the trigger of the shotgun.

"Not again?" he asked in a low voice.

The death knell did not respond, but it tensed its body and let out a silent growl from its throat.

Jiang Jin narrowed his eyes and activated Hunter Vision!
The flashlight beam slowly moved towards the base of the flagpole—

He was already there, having set up rusty animal traps beforehand.

There……

A blurry black shadow was slowly wriggling.

It's a baby, crawling slowly on all fours!

Jiang Jin's breath hitched slightly.

Student Code of Conduct, Article 5: If you see a crawling baby under the flagpole next to the flag-raising platform, please pretend you didn't see it and walk away in the opposite direction.

But he is not a student.

He is a security guard.

Article 7 of the Staff Code of Conduct: If you see a crawling baby under the flagpole, immediately go to the locust tree in the southeast corner of the playground, find the red flashlight, and turn it off.

The next moment, Jiang Jin discovered that the baby had actually moved to the front of the rusty animal trap!
The bear trap flashed with a ghostly blue light, and then it began to clamp down on the baby!
Jiang Jin immediately took advantage of this time and quickly moved towards the locust tree.

However, to his surprise, when he ran to the locust tree, there was no red flashlight!
that……

Should we change this rule?
No, Jiang Jin didn't intend to use up the chance to modify the rules first; he moved to the flagpole once more.

He raised his shotgun slightly, first aiming the muzzle at the dark figure caught in the rusty animal trap.

However, when Jiang Jin looked closely at the baby's shadowy figure this time, he was stunned.

That wasn't a bluish-black baby.

It was a grayish-white baby!
Moreover, the animal trap began to rust more rapidly, and before long it completely rotted into a pile of iron filings!
At the same time, Jiang Jin suddenly looked up!
He then saw that the black flag from before had reappeared on the flagpole!

"This thing..."

Deathstroke's eyes burned with a ghostly blue flame, as if he had sensed something extremely dangerous.

The next second—

The grayish-white baby was about to enter the bushes!

"boom--!"

The sound of gunfire pierced the night sky.

Jiang Jin's shotgun spat out phosphorescent light, the bullet piercing the grayish-white infant, but... it had no effect! Then it disappeared into the bushes!
The flames of the death knell suddenly dimmed, as if suppressed by some force.

Jiang Jin frowned.

It's not working?

But Deathstroke's condition had clearly worsened; his limbs trembled slightly, as if something had drained his strength.

In its awakened state, the undead becomes listless and even the blessing of the Gu worms is of no use!

The grayish-white baby from before was indeed far superior to those bluish-black babies!
The source demon is gradually revealing its hideous true face!
Looking up again, I found that the black flag had disappeared!
Jiang Jin remained silent for a moment, then finally pressed the button on the walkie-talkie:

"Monitoring room, pull up the footage from the last five minutes around the flagpole, focusing on the area near the flagpole, and whether a black flag has appeared on the flagpole."

A hissing sound came from the walkie-talkie, and a few seconds later, Li Jun's tense voice replied:

"Under the flagpole... there's nothing there, we only see you."

Jiang Jin was not surprised.

He looked up at the teaching building and could vaguely see that the lights in a few classrooms were still on.

"Tonight is definitely not going to be peaceful..."

At this moment, on the fifth floor of the teaching building.

Li Hua stood at the end of the fifth-floor corridor.

Somehow, he ended up here.

He had repeatedly confirmed with Cheng Mi, and Cheng Mi told him that he really hadn't seen Lin Xiaoyu that morning.

What exactly is going on?

Moreover, the student code of conduct made him feel increasingly uneasy.

By some strange twist of fate, Li Hua arrived at this long-abandoned old senior high school (7) class.

The door was ajar.

A strong musty smell wafted from the crack in the door. Just as Li Hua's hand touched the door panel, suddenly... he vaguely heard the sound of chalk scratching coming from inside.

Is someone... inside?

He held his breath and slowly approached the crack in the door—

A brand new blackboard bulletin board has appeared prominently on the blackboard at the back of the classroom.

The pastel-drawn panoramic view of the campus is incredibly lifelike, with a young couple in the center. The wife's belly is protruding, and the husband is gently stroking her pregnant belly. In the background, the school flag of No. 7 Middle School flutters in the wind, its bright red color like blood.

Who... drew a new blackboard bulletin here?

At this moment, a bead of cold sweat dripped down his face. Li Hua raised his hand to wipe the sweat away, and then looked over again, only to find that the flag had finally turned into a completely black flag.

"Boom!"

Li Hua's heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively pushed open the door—

An empty classroom.

A dusty podium, crooked desks and chairs, and...

A clean blackboard!
There were no painted decorations, no couple, and certainly no eerie black flag.

Li Hua suddenly heard footsteps coming from the end of the corridor.

It was very light and very slow. Li Hua was so frightened that she quickly ran out of the classroom and ran all the way back to her dormitory. She didn't even have time to wash up; she just took off her clothes and crawled into bed.

"Squeak-"

Li Hua lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

The dormitory was quiet, with only the even breathing of his roommates. But he always felt that something was watching him.

The feeling of being watched was like a thorn in his back, making him feel cold all over.

He sat up abruptly and looked around—

Nothing at all.

"A hallucination..."

What was that blackboard bulletin we just saw?

He pushed the door open and went in, and the blackboard had changed to that shape?
Suddenly, he had a vague feeling...

Why does that couple on the blackboard look so familiar?
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and glanced at his phone—00:12.

"Never mind, I'll just go visit the dorm next door."

In this era of widespread mobile phone use, and without parents supervising them, few students in dormitories will go to bed early at this time.

Li Hua tiptoed out of bed and pushed open the dormitory door. The corridor was pitch black, with only the faint green light of the emergency lights.

He walked to the door of the dormitory next door and knocked gently.

"Who is it?" a voice came from inside.

"I am Li Hua."

The door opened, and Zhang Hao asked, "What's up, little essay prince? Want to play cards?"

Li Hua chuckled dryly: "Can't sleep? How about playing cards?"

Zhang Hao yawned and stepped aside to let him in.

Li Hua stepped into the dormitory and saw several people lying on their beds with their phones or tablets in hand.

He was about to sit down in front of Zhang Hao's bed when suddenly he stopped in his tracks.

Under the bed, there was a grayish-white arm!
"Fuck!!!"

Li Hua suddenly stepped back and bumped into the door.

The color of that arm was exactly the same as Lin Xiaoyu's!
Zhang Hao was startled: "What are you doing?"

"There's someone under the bed!!!"

Looking again, the arm had already reached further under the bed.

Zhang Hao frowned, walked over, bent down and glanced at it: "Are you still half asleep? There's nothing there."

Li Hua pointed tremblingly to the bottom of the bed: "There was definitely a hand just now..."

Zhang Hao waved his hand impatiently: "Alright, alright, stop making such a fuss."

Li Hua swallowed hard, managing to calm himself down.

He also came over, knelt on the ground, and carefully looked under the bed.

Indeed, there was no one!

Could it be that I really saw it wrong?
"Hey Li Hua, Li Hua, we've been helping you write so many English essays all semester, how can you come visiting the dorms without bringing some late-night snacks? What, are you afraid the dorm manager will see you?"

Upon hearing the name of the dormitory administrator, Li Hua suddenly had a thought.

"By the way, did the dorm supervisor come knocking?" he asked.

Zhang Hao was taken aback: "Yes, about ten minutes ago, they knocked several times."

Li Hua's blood froze instantly.

"You...opened the door?"

"It's open, but there was no one outside when I opened the door. The dorm supervisor has probably already left. What happened?"

Li Hua's face turned deathly pale instantly.

Student Code of Conduct, Article 7: The dormitory supervisor will only knock on the door once during nighttime room checks. If you hear more than one knock, immediately cover your head with the blanket and do not open the door until the sound stops.

"You...you broke the rules..."

Zhang Hao was baffled: "What rules?"

"Article 7 of the Student Code of Conduct!"

"Oh, that? I didn't read that paper carefully when I got it when I returned to school. When did you become so obedient to school rules? You used to sneak out of the window to play games at internet cafes quite often."

Li Hua didn't explain further; he turned and rushed out.

He stumbled back to his dormitory, slammed the door shut, and held it firmly in place.

"What's wrong?" Luo Fan asked groggily, having been woken up by him.

Li Hua didn't answer. She jumped onto the bed, covered her head with the blanket, and trembled all over.

He could faintly hear footsteps approaching from the end of the corridor...

The contents of the student code of conduct came back to him.

Feeling uneasy, he suddenly said to Luo Fan, "Luo Fan, you haven't violated any student rules, have you?"

"Huh?" Luo Fan exclaimed in surprise, "You...you knew?"

"What?" Li Hua was startled. "You..."

"I went to get Lin Xiaoyu's homework, that homework..."

On the playground, Jiang Jin raised his hunting rifle once again.

Deathstroke's eyes flickered wildly with eerie blue flames, as if he had sensed something.

It was looking in the direction of the dormitory!

"Damn it, something really happened..."

Jiang Jin pressed the walkie-talkie: "Yang Jian! Something's happened!"

He rushed towards the dormitory building, cocking his shotgun.

Inside the dormitory, Li Hua took Lin Xiaoyu's homework book out of Luo Fan's schoolbag!
Just as I was about to rush out and throw it into the red storage box inside the teaching building, suddenly... there was a knock on the door!
