Nan Zhou's calm voice came: "If you want to go out, you need a notice, but our notice was collected by the school as early as when we entered the school gate."
"It's okay, you can take it back after you put it away."
"...It's too difficult to get it back. Are you a police officer or something?"
Su Chen said calmly: "I am a Taoist priest. Can you tell me the details of the situation here? Do you know how many of our kind are here and how they died?"
"If you find any abnormalities here, please tell me. I want to find the source and break this illusion."
Nan Zhou took out a small notebook from his pocket, flipped through it and started talking. The lecture lasted for about an hour.
"Master, what are the red ropes you gave us for?"
"Positioning, this place doesn't belong to the real world, so naturally there's no signal. If I want to know your location, I have to locate you."
"Keep it. If the red rope falls off, I'll lose track of you. If you're in danger, I won't be able to get there in time."
Upon hearing this, the others touched the red ropes and copper coins on their wrists, not disliking the tacky color at all. Only a fool would find something that could save lives tacky. As long as they could get out alive, they would wear anything.
After Su Chen finished gathering the information, he stood up and said, "Would you like to come with me to see that ancient willow tree you mentioned?"
Nan Zhou whispered, "Master, do you suspect there's something wrong with that ancient tree?"
"Well, we'll have to go and see for ourselves. Being able to cover such a large area in an illusion is definitely not something human power can do. Plus, you mentioned two people died and two teachers disappeared."
"This is just like a water ghost looking for a replacement. If someone replaces them, someone else can walk out, gain freedom, and enter the normal cycle of reincarnation. Those who can do this are not the ones who were burned to death."
"Thousands of people were burned to death. Even if a fierce ghost appeared, it wouldn't be this powerful. The one who could do this is more like... a spirit."
Su Chen said calmly: "Set the rules, then bind and control all the souls here, wait for new people to come in and kill them, and then the old ones can go out and reincarnate."
Several people gasped when they heard this. So they were substitutes, so why weren't they dead yet? It couldn't be that those things were reluctant to kill them.
"Then Master, why don't they kill us?"
"Why? Of course it's to wait for a certain time. When that time comes, we can just catch them all in one fell swoop. Wouldn't that save us a lot of trouble?"
Su Chen looked down at the time and date, and said quietly, "I've got the newspaper outside. You should know after taking a look. The countdown begins."
After reading the date in the newspaper, a few people thought of the huge calendar hanging in the classroom. Someone had been tearing off the dates. This countdown must be the countdown to the fire.
Zhou Yan's tone was a little difficult: "The fire in the newspaper happened just a few days after school started. No wonder so many people died. We only have two days left."
"No wonder they've been so excited these past two days. It turns out the countdown has begun. Will we experience a fire? Burning to death would be painful. I wonder if we can really get out alive."
Chen Xubai looked over and whispered, "Trust the Master. I've seen his live broadcast before. If he can't save us, then no matter how much we resist, it will be useless."
Su Chen waved his hand and the group walked in one direction.
Soon they saw a huge willow tree that seemed to block out the sun. They took a deep breath and looked at it. They couldn't see the end of it at a glance. It must have been hundreds of years old.
"Look at this tree. Does it feel real? Except for this tree, all the other plants here are fake."
Zhou Yan, not knowing what he was thinking, interrupted: "Master, if everything here is fake, what do we usually eat? It can't be tree leaves, right?"
"No, the food I eat tastes normal."
Su Chen looked back at him, his tone full of meaning: "Classmate, you don't want to know the truth. What you eat is not important. The most important thing is to survive."
Several people: “……!!”
Very good, they have guessed that what they eat may not be normal food. After all, illusions and hallucinations can deceive people.
Su Chen began to set up the formation around the big willow tree. When it was ready, he turned around and looked at them: "I'm going to attract lightning to strike. Go find your companions and gather together."
"Don't take your luggage. Just take some valuables with you. Go get your acceptance letters. Oh, follow the little paper crane. It will take you to get the letters."
"Master, those things won't stop us."
"No, the little paper cranes will make you invisible. Those things can't see you, so naturally they can't do anything to you. Go get the notice key and wait for me at the gate."
Su Chen and the others walked away, but his hands kept moving. He counted with his fingers and calculated that they were almost there. They had already reached the school gate, so it was his turn to work.
As the spell was chanted, the weather suddenly changed and dark clouds gradually gathered.
A huge crowd of people ran towards them, and the principal asked with a half-smile, "Student, what are you doing?"
"What do you think? Chopping down trees, of course."
"...Are you crazy? This is school property. You'll go to jail for wanton destruction."
Su Chen turned around and looked at them, saying nonchalantly, "Really? With the current situation at school, even if I wanted to go to jail, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to."
"Can the teachers get out? If you can't get out, how can I get out of jail?"
"Hey, it's been a while, I'm afraid you've all forgotten who you are. Let me help you remember."
