The number of insects rushing out of the fog gradually decreased, and the fog around was also a little thinner than before. One had to observe very carefully with the naked eye to see the difference. She understood in her heart that it seemed that the creation of these things did not come without any cost.

Then, Feng Lan became more interested in the fact that it would cost so much to prevent her from discovering something.

She walked around the entire school. It was very quiet everywhere, as if there was no living person in the entire school.

When they reached the last teaching building, Feng Lan no longer had any hope. There were fewer small insects flying around her. She didn't know if Feng Lan was tired, but the fog's endurance was visibly tired. Even Wang Qi could see how thin the fog was. It had been more than half an hour from the school gate to now. Feng Lan still recognized the fog's ability, but it was a pity that she met her.

Seeing that his actions were useless, the next second, the attacking bugs simply dispersed, just like when they came. Not a single bug could be seen suddenly disappearing, and even the bug corpses in the vortex disappeared without a trace. Feng Lan waved his hand calmly, dispersing the circling tornado. According to Wang Qi's observation, the boss's breathing was steady, and his heartbeat rhythm did not change. He did not look like he was out of breath.

Very good, this time, the boss won again.

"Boom-"

Feng Lan moved her ears and heard a slight noise, very small, like the sound of muscles twitching and accidentally colliding after maintaining a stiff posture for a long time.

Wang Qi and Feng Lan looked at each other. Obviously, she heard it too.

Feng Lan looked towards the corridor where the noise came from. The corridor seemed empty. The only place where people could hide was the row of lockers. Now, each locker had the names of those students on it, or was covered with some sticky notes belonging to the students, as if this empty school had been full of people moving around just a second ago.

"Is anyone there? Do you need help?"

Feng Lan asked loudly, but received no response. She spoke again, "If there's no one here, we'll leave. No one will come to school anymore... One last time, is there any student here who needs help?"

Feng Lan waited patiently for a while. She heard a sound and looked in the direction of the sound. It was a cabinet with a small opening. Someone inside made a faint sound, "I'm here... Help me..."

Feng Lan and Wang Qi walked towards the cabinet. She moved her ears and confirmed that she could hear the heartbeat and breathing of a living person inside the cabinet before opening it.

Seeing Bob huddled in a strange position, his face was startlingly pale, and his expression was filled with uncontrollable panic. The moment the cabinet was opened, he subconsciously shrank for a moment, then raised his head stiffly, staring at Feng Lan and Wang Qi for a while, before speaking weakly and quietly, "Thank you... This time, it doesn't seem to be an illusion."

Bob climbed out of the closet in a panic. From his school uniform, it was easy to tell that he was a student of this school. Feng Lan kindly pulled Bob aside and asked, "Why are you still in school? Didn't you hear the mayor's announcement about staying at home?"

"Thank you," Bob climbed out with Feng Lan's help. When he heard her words, his face flushed with embarrassment and he stammered, "I, when I was about to leave, my classmates locked me in the bathroom. I finally got out and found that something was wrong with the school..."

Bob's eyes were filled with fear, as if he was recalling something horrible, yet he tried hard to suppress that fear. He pinched himself and explained in a low voice, "No, fear, the fog, it absorbs people's fear, and then the hallucinations that I fear appear in the fog. Also, it's very sensitive to sound..."

Bob always spoke in a low voice, and because of this, he looked a little timid, but in a situation that would make ordinary people collapse, he was surprisingly calm.

Feng Lan looked at Bob, who couldn't help trembling and had a frighteningly pale face. His current performance was already very good for an ordinary person.

Will he be the protagonist of the copy?
