Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 127: Chapter 57 Door Card_2

However, she had thought too much.

Because, during the time she rested, Huang Du had already awakened.

His body had gained several more wounds.

The students and teachers who were rescued on the second floor, upon learning that all this suffering was brought by Huang Du,

enthusiastically ”welcomed” Huang Du, as a result, directly waking him up.

If it weren’t for Starfire and Shadow Stream intervening, he would have probably been beaten to death.

He had already had several teeth smashed out by a punch from Li Yelai, then after being beaten up by classmates on the third floor, was tied up.

Latterly, he was beaten up again by the students on the second floor.

So, upon waking up, he rolled around on the ground in agony.

Seeing a group of students and teachers with fire in their eyes, he was extremely frightened and nearly confessed to everything.

”A month ago, the third guy brought back a Parchment. It had a mysterious power, and after a few trials, we confirmed it could create Kaidan.”

”So, we got the idea. We planned to... in the school...”

”I’m guilty, I confess! Don’t hit me anymore! Please!”

Tied up, Huang Du, with his mouth missing several teeth and still dripping with blood, was crying and begging for mercy in agony.

”How many accomplices do you have?” Li Yelai asked, seeing his state.

”Two!” Huang Du immediately replied, ”The boss and the third guy in my dorm! I’m ranked number two.”

Li Yelai nodded slightly, inline with his thoughts; those two were definitely accomplices. He needed to pass the message to the branch office quickly.

Then he asked again, ”Do you know who I am?”

”You are... are you from the Guard Hall?” Huang Du looked up at Li Yelai, recalling the way Li Yelai hunted Abnormality, his body couldn’t help but tremble. He felt he had provoked someone he ought not to.

”If you don’t know my identity, why would you harm me?” Li Yelai frowned, thinking his official identity had been exposed.

Huang Du dared not to speak anymore.

Cheese raised an eyebrow and directly used her ability, ”[Listen to me] Tell the truth!”

Huang Du resisted internally, but his mouth began to move on its own, ”Because... I saw that you were close to her, and knew that you even shared a room! I was jealous, I wished to replace you, naturally, I couldn’t wait to kill you, to take advantage when the opportunity arose! I really want to have her, so someone like you must die! Even if you’re rich and handsome, so what?”

Li Yelai thought to himself that the official disguise provided to him was really thorough.

A penny-pinching guy who hesitated to add extra ingredients to instant noodles was seen as a rich person in Huang Du’s eyes?

Cheese frowned her beautiful eyebrows; although she often talked nonsense, seeing Huang Du express such desire for her, she still felt disgusted and chilled.

Under the influence of the ability, Huang Du also spilled the entire plan of this Kaidan set by himself and his accomplices.

The boss planned to save those rich people in the Kaidan to gain money and connections, thereby stepping into a different social class.

While he planned to save the pretty girls in the Kaidan, playing the hero, to win the hearts of the girls. And along the way, kill a few guys he disliked.

The purpose of the third guy was unclear; it seemed he was addicted to the rules of the Kaidan.

Hearing this, everyone became furious.

To think, for such reasons, they dragged thousands of people in the school into danger.

Many students, eyes red, stepped forward, ready to kill Huang Du, this beast.

Li Yelai raised a hand to block them and continued asking, ”The thing you carry on you, is it the key item to escape the Kaidan?”

”...Yes!” Huang Du’s face twisted fiercely, but couldn’t resist the power of Ravings, and continued, ”The Parchment has hidden rules that you don’t know about. And I can use these hidden rules to safely get through the challenges and rescue pretty girls like a hero!”

Li Yelai mockingly said, ”A hero saving the beauty?”

”Exactly!” Huang Du struggled to respond.

”Creating danger on purpose, is that also what you call a hero?” a university professor scoffed.

The students also showed looks of contempt.

Cheese and the others had an unfavorable look as well.

As Processors, they detested such behavior.

Because they had seen many real heroes.

”What if the hero’s rescue of the beauty isn’t successful?” Li Yelai asked again.

”It’s so chaotic outside... even if I did something, no one would notice. At worst, I’ll kill to silence them.” Huang Du’s words sent chills down many girls’ spines.

Li Yelai frowned and continued to inquire, ”What are the purposes of these items you are carrying?”

He took out the items he had found on Huang Du: a key, an access card, a small mirror, and a flashlight.

”These are all Kaidan’s clearance auxiliary items. Among them, the flashlight can keep the museum’s patrolling security guards away. The other items are for other Kaidans. The key is for the gymnasium, the mirror is for the dormitory building, and the access card is for the school gate,” Huang Du responded.

”If we hadn’t shown up, how were you planning to escape the museum?” Li Yelai asked again.

”It’s very difficult to leave the museum at night. You must take the museum’s access card from the security room to open the museum’s only exit,” Huang Du said. ”I was planning to sacrifice a few people, deliberately triggering the rules to attract security’s attention, and then take the chance to steal the access card. Escaping the museum with the girls.”

At this remark, many of the boys’ faces turned sour. They were the ones expected to be abandoned.

Huang Du, with his mind full of women, would certainly not care about the lives of the boys.

This made many feel relieved in hindsight, fortunately encountering Li Yelai and the others; otherwise, they wouldn’t even know how they died.

Li Yelai continued to inquire, ”Do you know how many security guards there are?”

”Four guards,” Huang Du said with difficulty, his face showing extreme fear. He had revealed too many secrets, exposing all the darkness in his heart.

Li Yelai then discussed with Cheese and the others, ”Since we need the access card, we must first lure away the Abnormality guarding the security room. Four security guard Abnormalities, Starfire, Shadow Stream, and I killed one. Cheese, you took down two. So that leaves one, the security captain.”

”To lure it away, we can take the access card from the security room...” Cheese pondered, ”We’ll need to move fast, and the distraction must last long enough. There are still students downstairs, and even if I deactivate the ability to wake them, many are still unconscious from being affected.”

”Yes, there are many people, and there are also injured ones who can’t move on their own. It will take some time to evacuate everyone,” Li Yelai pondered, ”I’ll use the Champion Marquis’ Face and cast ’Wind’ to lead the security captain away while maintaining a safe distance.”

With the Shadow Army’s enhancement, ’Wind’ would greatly increase Li Yelai’s speed.

”No,” Cheese objected sternly, shaking his head, ”Don’t take the risk yourself. It’s dangerous if something goes wrong. Don’t you have a Summoning Item?”

Li Yelai nodded, ”So, let the Double Blade Knight lure them away?”

Indeed, the Double Blade Knight was a good choice; possessing significant strength itself, along with Flash Body and Fogging abilities for concealment.

He could effectively bait the enemy.

Tasking him with executing the lure plan was perfect.

”Let’s decide that. Have the Double Blade Knight lure it out of the security room and towards another staircase, lead it to the third floor. Meanwhile, we’ll go down to the first floor to take the students and enter the security room to find the access card,” Cheese said. ”We can’t be sure if the security captain will come back midway, so we’ll have to be quick!”

”Okay,” Li Yelai nodded.

Then, Li Yelai shook the Silver Bell, under the astonished gazes of all the students and teachers.

A flickering shadow materialized beside Li Yelai.

”I have a challenging task for you,” Li Yelai said, patting the Double Blade Knight on the shoulder.

The Double Blade Knight knelt on one knee...

And so, a few minutes later, the Double Blade Knight suddenly appeared in the security room, his double blades thrusting fiercely downward.

The next second, angry roars and heavy footsteps, like thunder, resounded from the first floor.

A massive figure burst out of the security room, swinging a chain in its left hand and a huge, thick baton in its right.

Pursuing the Double Blade Knight that had just backstabbed it in a sneak attack.

However, the Double Blade Knight’s figure flashed, and he appeared around the corner in front, infuriating the security captain, who followed closely.

As the security captain’s figure disappeared through the stairway,

Li Yelai and the others immediately rushed into the security room, planning to find the access card.

But even after turning the security room upside down, they couldn’t find any access card.

This sank the hearts of the Spiritual Ability Users.

If there was no access card in the security room, it meant...

The access card was on the security captain!
