Chen Ge's eyes scanned every student's face. He raised his student ID above his head. "I am also a member of this school. My power alone is limited, and I cannot change all of you, but I will try my best. As long as one more person agrees with me, that will be enough."
What he said was something that the teachers at the school had not taught them. At this school, the children were slowly becoming numb, unable to see what they really needed. The school's consciousness was made up of each of them, but at the same time, they were just a small part of the school's consciousness.
They could not change it, and they were powerless to struggle, so they could only become like them and survive under the school's consciousness.
Chen Ge had said a lot, but it was impossible to gain everyone's approval with just a few sentences. However, it was not completely useless. Some of the students were deep in thought, and some of the students' expressions froze like they were reminded of something painful.
"People often tell me to be content with the status quo, to hide in the shell that is woven so that I can enjoy warmth. No one cares what is outside the shell because no matter what it is, with the protection of the shell, no one can harm the person hiding inside the shell, but is that really the case? " Chen Ge pointed at the blood fog that was drifting down the corridor. "When you were hiding inside the shell, the poison from the outside had already seeped into the shell and crawled into your body. When you realized it, it was already too late. You could no longer be saved, and hope became an extravagant hope. You could only watch as your body was consumed bit by bit, and the shell that you refused to leave would become your grave. "
Taking a step forward, Chen Ge walked toward the female dormitory. The long line behind him was filled with his supporters. Even the teachers, led by Mr. Lei, did not dare underestimate him.
If they fought head-on, their chance of winning was small. After all, the real owners of this school were these despairing children.
"There are many secrets buried at this school, but I do not have time to explore them. Before the battle between Chang Wenyu and the painter ends, I need to gather more power."
Chen Ge did not care about the forbidden zone. He only knew that place hid Zhang Ya's past. Perhaps when the door at Western Jiujiang's Private School was pushed open, Zhang Ya had already existed, and that female dormitory was where she had stayed.
"Turning souls into candy, turning lingering spirits into dolls, and sealing Specters into chairs — this description is indeed similar to Zhang Ya, but I believe she has her reasons." Chen Ge led Xu Yin and the headless woman to stop before the students. "I don't expect you to support me, but if you think what I say makes sense, if you are unhappy at this school and have been bullied before, then please do not stop me."
This was the first time they had heard what Chen Ge had said.
Then again, in the blood red School of the Afterlife behind the door, there were still people who stubbornly clung onto hope, trying to make the soul that was haunted by the lingering spirit feel happiness? Seeking salvation?
That was impossible for them. The students in dark uniforms had already given up on that thought. The longer they stayed at the School of the Afterlife, the more they understood that there was no hope at this school. It was a nightmare filled with despair that they could never escape.
Someone in the crowd took a step to the side, and then more and more people opened up a path. It was unclear whether they were afraid of the Red Specter behind Chen Ge or they believed what he said, or perhaps it was a combination of both.
When the students in dark uniforms opened up a path, a rumbling came from outside the School of the Afterlife like thunder coming from the blood fog.
The blood fog gathered toward Chen Ge and stuck to his body like it wanted to crawl into him, but it realized that Chen Ge was not a Specter and could not enter his body.
"The school's consciousness is changing again. Is it because I've gained more students' approval?"
Chen Ge knew that the school's consciousness was made up of the students' consciousness. Changing the students' consciousness was changing the school's consciousness.
The students did not stop him, and that was out of Mr. Lei's expectation. Seeing that Chen Ge was about to leave, he yelled, "The female dormitory is a forbidden zone. You say that you're doing this for the sake of the students, but opening the forbidden zone is your way to save them? Opening the forbidden zone will give you salvation? "
Chen Ge ignored Mr. Lei. Seeing Chen Ge's attitude, Mr. Lei became angrier. "The scariest monster and the worst curse are hiding inside the forbidden zone. If you open the forbidden zone, not only will you get yourself killed, you'll drag everyone down with you! They trust you so much, but you're leading them to their deaths? "
The teachers were the enforcers of the school's rules. They would stop Chen Ge, and that was within Chen Ge's expectation.
"Then, do you dare make a bet with me? If I can walk out of the forbidden zone safely, don't come and stop me in the future, and don't say things like I'll harm others. "Chen Ge stopped and turned to look at Mr. Lei.
"What if you lose?" Mr. Lei was hot-tempered, but he was much more restrained when he was facing Chen Ge.
"If I lose, it means I'll die inside the forbidden zone. It doesn't matter whether I make the bet or not." Chen Ge had a point. Before Mr. Lei could answer, he had already walked away.
Walking through the corridor that was blocked by the higher-year students, Chen Ge entered the female dormitory. He walked to the fourth floor, and the path before him was blocked by a pile of trash. There was a wooden board next to it that said 'No Entry'.
Looking through the gap, there was a light red chair in the middle of the dark corridor.
The chair was placed in the middle of the corridor like an invisible person was sitting on it.
"Come, let's go take a look." The scene before him was similar to what Chen Ge had seen when he first went to Western Jiujiang's Private Academy.
"Looks like I've come to the right place." Everyone had their own secrets, and Zhang Ya was no exception. She was shrouded in many mysteries, and the more he interacted with her, the more curious Chen Ge became.
"Breathtakingly beautiful, ridiculously powerful, and has a mysterious past, but such a girl just had to find me …" Chen Ge had Xu Yin and Bai Qiulin clear away the trash, and the group entered the fourth floor of the female dormitory.
After a few steps, someone tapped Chen Ge's shoulder lightly. He turned back and realized it was Xu Yin looking at him.
"What's wrong?"
After finding his heart, the expression on Xu Yin's face gradually increased. He picked up his pace to walk in front of Chen Ge.
He did not say a word, but Chen Ge could understand what Xu Yin meant. This place made Xu Yin feel danger, so he took the initiative to walk in front.
