The light from the flashlight shone down the corridor.
There was nothing there!
All he saw was a flat cement wall and floor. Further away, the light from the flashlight couldn't reach the place, as the place was shrouded in darkness.
Marv's throat was dry as he looked at the darkness that spread like a mist. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Just when his Adam's apple was moving up and down …
Drip!
The sound of water falling to the ground came from behind him.
This time, Marv didn't hesitate and turned around.
Still, there was nothing there!
There wasn't even a trace of water on the floor.
However, Marv was sure that he did hear the sound of water droplets.
"Hallucination!
It's just a hallucination because I'm nervous! "
Marv told himself, trying to tell himself that he shouldn't be afraid, but his hurried breaths told him that his words were useless.
After all, Kieran's disappearance and the gloomy and cold aura behind him were very real.
Leave!
Leave this place!
The thought bloomed in Marv's heart all of a sudden.
Then, the thought spread out uncontrollably.
Huu! Huu!
"I'm not fully prepared yet, so I chose to leave for now!
When I'm fully prepared, I'll come back! "
Marv adjusted his breath and found excuses for himself.
He then turned around and wanted to go back the way he came.
Suddenly, he felt something cold on the back of his neck.
A drop of water fell on the back of his neck.
Instinctively, Marv raised his flashlight and shone it at the ceiling.
A man was hanging above his head.
Under the light, the man's eyes were bulging out, his face was purplish, and his tongue was sticking out, droplets of saliva were dripping down his tongue.
"Argh!"
Marv couldn't help but cry out. He stepped back and wiped the back of his neck with his hand.
Disgust and fear filled Marv's heart as he stared at the hanging body in a panic.
Wuuu!
A gust of wind came from nowhere.
Tssk Gak! Tssk Gak!
The corpses hung by the rope swayed back and forth in the wind. The sound of heavy objects pulling on the rope kept coming from the rope, and the sound was getting louder and louder.
It sounded like …
It wasn't just a rope.
Marv held the flashlight tightly and shone it at the ceiling.
Instantly, the densely packed figures of hanging people appeared in his vision.
Marv's scalp went numb as he looked at the corpses hanging there like sausages.
Because at this moment, he finally saw the faces of these people clearly.
Collaborator!
More precisely, these people were the ones who paid him to spy on Kieran.
How did they all die here?
Was there really something wrong with the stadium?
Impossible!
It was just some school rumors!
As Marv told himself that in his heart, he started to retreat. He ran out of the gymnasium with a speed that was a few times faster than before.
But a rope was faster!
Whoosh!
The rope flew out from the darkness and coiled around Marv's neck, hanging him from the ceiling.
"Uh, uh, uh!"
Marv flailed his arms and legs as he struggled.
In the end, there was no sound.
A smear of orange fell from his corpse and was caught by a white, slender hand.
[Paralysis Ball]'s attributes appeared in front of Kieran's eyes.
It wasn't some unfamiliar item, Kieran got his hands on one during the fight with Sil Sect. It seemed like it was Marv's trump card.
At least it was the trump card that Marv thought he could control everything.
Just like the watchers.
They thought they could use the rumors in the gymnasium to find out the truth they sought.
But in the end, they became part of the rumors.
Kieran could already imagine what would happen in the gymnasium tomorrow morning.
As for the cry and the treasure?
Whether it was the former or the latter, they were all fake.
Kieran arrived ahead of time and dealt with the group of watchers. He searched the gymnasium thoroughly but found nothing.
It was also within Kieran's expectations.
If there really was a treasure, the school wouldn't just sit back and do nothing.
They would search a wide area, and even if they couldn't find it for the time being, they would send someone like Eiderburgh to guard the gymnasium like the cafeteria.
Of course, Kieran didn't come out empty-handed either.
From the leader of the watchers, he obtained an unexpected spoil of war.
[Name: Six-part Dot Dragon (Replica)]
[Type: Wonder Item]
[Rarity: Legendary]
[Attack: Powerful]
[Attribute: None]
[Effect: None]
[Able to bring out of dungeon: Yes]
[Remark: It is a replica of the Six-part Dot Dragon. Although incomparable to the real Six-part Dot Dragon, it is still a rare item. In order to unleash its true power, you will need to combine it with the Seven-inch Dot Dragon. If possible, for the sake of the replica's safety, please search for a replica Seven-inch Dot Dragon.]
…
Looking at the seemingly hollow chopstick in his hand, Kieran took out the [Seven-inch Dot Dragon (Replica)]. Coincidentally, [Six-part Dot Dragon (Replica)] was attached to the back of the [Seven-inch Dot Dragon (Replica)], and when the chopsticks touched each other, both of them glowed faintly. When both of them truly combined into one, the light shook and when it dispersed, both of them became one. A brand new attribute popped up in Kieran's vision.
[Name: Seven-inch Six-part Jiaolong Chopsticks]
[Type: Wonder Item]
[Rarity: I]
[Attack: I]
[Defense: I]
[Attribute: 1. Jiaolong Saliva, 2. Jiaolong Bite, 3. Jiaolong Soul]
[Effect: Seek]
[Able to bring out of dungeon: Yes]
[Remark: It is a replica of the Seven-inch Six-part True Dragon Chopsticks. The original idea was to search for the real Seven-inch Six-part True Dragon Chopsticks, but the result was disappointing.]
…
[Jiaolong Saliva: Anything touched by the Jiaolong Chopsticks will have a certain level of freshness and expose its flaws more easily, increase critical rate]
[Jiaolong Bite: Anything caught by the Jiaolong Chopsticks will undergo a Constitution authentication no lower than A rank. If the target fails, the part caught by the chopsticks will be torn and torn apart.]
[Jiaolong Soul: When the chopsticks feed a hundred people, the target can temporarily summon a Jiaolong Soul (right chopstick). Can also be accumulated until 500 people feed a thousand people and summon two Jiaolong Souls. Can also be accumulated until 1000 people feed a thousand people and summon two strengthened Jiaolong Souls. Lasts 1 minute.]
…
[Seek: When Six-part Point Dragon and Seven-inch Seeking Dragon are combined, it can point at the target's heart, once per week.]
…
"Seven-inch Six-part Jiaolong Chopsticks?!"
Kieran looked at the combined chopsticks in shock. Although the replica was Legendary and Kieran already knew how extraordinary it was, when the two of them combined and reached Advance Rank, it still shocked Kieran, especially the [Seek] attribute.
Almost instantly, Kieran's mind was filled with thoughts of searching for food above Proper Meal class.
However, the Seven-inch and Six-part Flood Dragon Chopsticks in his hand did not move at all.
"Is the method wrong?
Does it need a specific name and concept?
Or has it exceeded the range of what I can search for? "
Kieran thought and put away the chopsticks.
Although he really wanted to see the power of [Jiaolong Soul], the conditions to use it forced Kieran to give up.
"Can it feed a thousand people?
It'll be fast. "
Kieran calculated silently for a while before a smile appeared on his face.
Dak Dak Dak Dak.
Footsteps sounded and flashlights shone from afar. Standler and Maica walked over carefully, and when they saw Kieran, they heaved a breath of relief.
"First Seat, I think something isn't right here."
Maica, who had the instinct of a wild beast, said when he saw Kieran.
"Em.
It's not just eerie, it makes my heart skip a beat. "
Standler nodded repeatedly.
Kieran looked at the two of them without saying anything, pointing above his head.
Both of them looked up and their faces changed drastically.
"Marv?!"
Standler cried out in shock. Maica glanced over the rest of the bodies and looked around vigilantly.
"I've informed Professor Tyrese.
You two go inform the Student Council members. "
Kieran ordered.
"Yes, First Seat."
The two of them nodded and ran out.
Kieran looked up at the corpses as the two of them left. He couldn't help but shake his head and walk out as well.
It wasn't some crocodile tears of exclamation.
It was just a sigh of regret between the two of them.
The bodies warned Kieran again: don't be blindly arrogant, be careful at all times.
After Kieran left, a series of muffled sobbing sounded in the room.
"Sob, sob, sob, so scary … It's scary!"
"Leave this place, sob, sob …"
"Leave this place, sob, sob …"
…
Three minutes later, Professor Tyrese arrived at the entrance of the gymnasium with a group of school guards. Professor Tyrese felt a headache when he saw Kieran standing there.
"Are you the Grim Reaper?
"Wherever we go, there will be people dying!"
Professor Tyrese couldn't help but say as he ordered the guards to lock down the scene.
"It's a coincidence."
Kieran said seriously.
"Coincidence?"
Professor Tyrese shook his head, obviously not buying what Kieran said.
Maybe in terms of character, Professor Tyrese was a nice guy, but in terms of his ability to work, he wasn't a half-hearted person.
He checked everything carefully, the torchlight shining back and forth in the gymnasium.
"Where's the power?
It's not on yet? "
Professor Tyrese asked.
"Professor, it'll be ready soon."
The moment the guard's voice subsided, a clear 'click' followed by the sound of an electric motor turning.
The next moment, the gymnasium was brightly lit.
Everyone could clearly see the more than ten corpses hanging from the ceiling of the gymnasium.
Gasp!
Although they had seen the corpse before, when everything was imprinted in their eyes, everyone couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
Some of the more cowardly ones even turned pale.
Standler was one of them.
However, he still had to answer the guards' questions. Maica and Kieran were no exception.
"What happened?"
Professor Tyrese asked Kieran.
"The crying gymnasium and the hidden treasure. After Standler told me about the two rumors, I was interested in the latter, so I joined the team.
Since it was a two-man team, I naturally teamed up with the weaker Marv, but after I entered the gymnasium, Marv disappeared.
"By the time I found him, he had already been hanged here."
Kieran told Professor Tyrese everything honestly.
At least, that was what the others thought.
"You didn't hear anything?"
Professor Tyrese wanted to know more.
"Wind.
"I've heard an unusual rumor."
Kieran answered.
After getting the answer, Professor Tyrese ordered the guards to search the gymnasium thoroughly.
Kieran wasn't worried though.
He didn't leave any suspicious traces behind.
Especially the ropes, which were controlled by [Living Rope Technique], there were no fingerprints.
After the questioning, Kieran, Standler, and Maica stood on the spot, watching the guards search the gymnasium. Outside the gymnasium, the Student Council members were guarding the entrances and exits in an orderly manner, assisting the guards in protecting the scene. Gutti, the former Branch Leader, was among them.
When he saw Kieran, the branch head walked straight towards him.
"Branch Leader, please don't do something so dangerous.
You will not only put yourself in danger, but you will also drag others down with you! "
Gutti said in a righteous manner.
"It's not the First Seat's fault, we forced her to …"
Standler tried to explain, but under Gutti's gaze, his voice got softer and softer until it couldn't be heard anymore.
After Standler stopped speaking, Gutti withdrew her gaze and continued, "Don't worry.
"And since the start of the semester, you have accumulated enough work for the Student Council.
I think you need to go and deal with it.
Of course, it's not as simple as just signing your name.
If you can't finish your work on time, your benefits in the Student Council will be taken away. "
Gutti turned around and walked away after her rigid words.
However, after taking two steps forward, Gutti suddenly came to a halt.
"I'm impressed that you were able to persuade the Dark Eater."
Gutti then hastened her steps and left.
Standler and Maica looked at each other in confusion when they saw the former Branch Leader's back.
"Is she sick in the head?"
"Can't she speak properly?"
Standler asked.
"I think so, but who knows?"
Standler peeked at Kieran, who looked normal, before he said carefully and quickly changed the topic.
While the two of them were chatting, Kieran's sharp senses picked up a group of school guards with different auras walking in.
In common eyes, they looked a little colder and dressed the same as the previous guards, but in Kieran's eyes, if he had to describe them, the new group of school guards were veterans and the previous guards were a bunch of rookies in training.
The difference was like heaven and earth.
The moment the new group of school guards came in, they took out a device that Kieran had never seen before.
It looked like a communicator but bigger and had a row of lights on it.
Soon, the row of lights lit up.
From green to red in a breath's time, followed by an unusually loud alarm.
