Zhu Hanyun was dead. No one had expected something like this to happen at such a heavily-guarded national cultivation high school body technique competition.
Hadn't they said at the start that they would ensure everyone's safety?
Seeing Zhu Hanyun lying in a pool of blood, all the students revealed looks of panic.
Not only had someone died, it was an expert … this was Zhu Hanyun! The team leader of Titan High School's team! The man who had thrown all his junior brothers and sisters from the bottom of the tower all the way up 700,000 steps on his own!
More and more people gathered to watch. Amidst their intense fear, the surrounding students heard the wailing junior sister of Titan High School off to the side. Everyone was instantly at a loss and didn't know what to do.
"If you want to get the teachers, come over here! Hurry up and save him! "someone said calmly.
"There's no hope."
At that moment, an extremely tall boy crouched down and confirmed Zhu Hanyun's death. "There don't seem to be any external injuries. The spirit root in his dantian must have ruptured, causing massive bleeding. The blood is flowing out of his abdomen."
"He's really dead …" Everyone looked panicked.
When someone died in the competition, everyone's first reaction was naturally to get the teachers to take charge. However, the students who had run out to look for the teachers quickly discovered something unexpected.
"The windows are locked! And it looks like there's a restriction array set up! Our spirit energy is restricted, we can't get out at all! The hole from before has been filled up! "someone cried out.
The hole he was referring to was the one that Zhu Hanyun had smashed open when he had thrown the student.
But now, the hole had been completely filled up while the students were resting in their rooms. In other words, there was no way for them to inform the teachers outside of the situation.
"What should we do?"
"Can this competition still go on with someone dead?"
"That's Zhu Hanyun! If the murderer is among us, who can stand up to him if he goes berserk? "
"Also, it's already past two o 'clock. Wasn't the second elimination round supposed to be announced at this time?"
For a moment, the crowd was abuzz with discussion as everyone expressed their opinions.
"Calm down, everyone."
At that moment, Gu Shunzhi stepped forward. "Calm down, everyone. Maybe the second round has already started."
Everyone: "???"
Already started? What did that mean?
"Under normal circumstances, if someone really died, it's impossible for the teacher not to notice. Unless Zhu Hanyun's death was already planned. " Gu Shunzhi analyzed calmly. In fact, he had already seen some clues, but it was not convenient for him to point it out directly, so he guided the crowd here.
"Perhaps the rule of the second elimination round is to let all of us find Zhu Hanyun's murderer."
When everyone heard this, realization dawned on their faces. However, when they looked at Zhu Hanyun's corpse that was still warm on the ground, they all sucked in a breath of cold air.
If this was the content of the second elimination round, it was a little too cruel … It actually killed one person???
At that moment, Gao Tianming, the captain of No. 1 Devil-Subduing High, spoke again. "This person isn't Zhu Hanyun."
It wasn't Zhu Hanyun, but what did it mean?
Everyone was dumbfounded.
"Zhu Hanyun cultivates the 'Titan Art', and he has long since reached a weight of 5,000 kilograms. But the Zhu Hanyun lying here now … "Gao Tianming casually flipped over Zhu Hanyun's corpse." Everyone can see that his body is very light. "
So in response to this situation, Gao Tianming thought of a possibility, but just as he was about to voice his opinion …
On the other side, Gu Shunzhi abruptly answered, "The Construction Spell."
After Gu Shunzhi said this, Gao Tianming gave him a look.
God knew that this was one of No. 60 High's transfer students. His origins were unknown, but it was clear that he wasn't an ordinary person.
The Construction Spell was a relatively advanced spell that one could usually only come into contact with in university.
Thus, Gao Tianming kept quiet and started to listen carefully to Gu Shunzhi's explanation. He wanted to hear what else Gu Shunzhi had to say.
After almost rushing to answer, Gu Shunzhi also felt that he had stood out a little too much; he shouldn't have opened his mouth so early.
In fact, this was also an occupational hazard.
As the keeper of cosmic order, Gu Shunzhi had a lot of things to investigate, and naturally had to investigate some bizarre cases. Thus, he had a lot of experience in deducing cases. Furthermore, with his identity as an experienced keeper of cosmic order, he actually didn't need to turn over the body to already see that there were traces of the Construction Spell on Zhu Hanyun's "corpse."
But since he had already spoken, there was actually no need to continue pretending.
Gu Shunzhi could only continue. "The Construction Spell is a spell that combines the spirit and space spells. Although space spells are very rare, the Construction Spell is actually the simplest of them all.
"It can transform spirit energy into an image in the spirit world, and then project it as a physical object. However, the projected object can actually be touched. It will usually slowly disappear within five hours.
"Nowadays, this spell is mostly used in the filming of movies and TV series in the cultivation world. It's a spell that almost every prop master must learn, because not only can it save money, it can also save a lot of time in making props.
"In summary, the corpse we're looking at now isn't the real Zhu Hanyun. This is just a prop created by someone using the Construction Spell. But where the real Zhu Hanyun is, we still need to find out. "
"You mean, Zhu Hanyun isn't dead? Then what else is there to look for? This might just be a prank! "someone said at this time.
"That's not true." Gu Shunzhi shook his head. "The Construction Spell can't construct illusory things. For example, prop masters who know the Construction Spell have to stare at a picture when they construct, or construct and replicate the real thing.
"So, Zhu Hanyun might not really be dead, but he is indeed lying in a pool of blood. There's no doubt about that!"
After Gu Shunzhi finished speaking, the atmosphere that had eased up began to become tense again.
But the problem in front of everyone now was that if they really wanted to find the "murderer" who hid the real Zhu Hanyun, then they would have to prove their alibis one by one.
But now, apart from the missing Zhu Hanyun, there were a total of 799 students. It was obviously unrealistic to prove their alibis one by one.
Therefore, Gu Shunzhi decided to do a method of elimination. "Now, those who can find companions to testify to each other, raise your hands. Also, students with perception-type abilities, please take a step forward. Now, we need everyone to work together to get through this. "
Why look for perception-type abilities?
Actually, the answer was very simple.
After a cultivator used a spell, there would definitely be residual spirit energy molecules left on their hands. These spirit energy molecules would overflow and usually remain in the palm of their hands. Usually, they would gradually dissipate within 30 minutes.
As long as these perception-type students were investigated and tested one by one, a large number of people would be quickly filtered out.
And those who had used a spell within 30 minutes were all suspected of using the Construction Spell!
