Chapter 3: The Guardian of the Way

The urgent task at hand is to inform everyone of the situation

Li Junfei instinctively asked

Lu Lianxue was taken aback

She decided to implement the ninth rule of the "Weidaosi": when ordinary people encounter ghosts and the Weidaosi personnel are temporarily unable to resolve the situation, they can only inform the truth to prevent ordinary people from being taken advantage of by the ghosts without their knowledge

You can understand it as the realm of ghosts, which is the domain of the dead, and we are currently within its domain

Li Junfei forced a smile that was even more unsightly than crying

Some female students with fragile psychological defenses were so frightened that they cried, squatting there and unable to stop their tears.

Mentioning ghosts

Because

It is necessary to understand that this is to avoid causing panic among the citizens

The class representative hurried forward, his face full of pleading.

Lu Lianxue touched the pocket of her jacket. In fact, she did have talismans on her, as a Taoist priestess from Longhu Mountain, how could she be without tools to exorcise spirits? However, the number of talismans in her hand was only sufficient to remove the blood handprints from a portion of the people. It should be noted that there were more than fifty individuals involved.

Class monitor, please, do not joke around; this joke is not funny. Is this a curse from a ghost? Is there really a ghost?

This moment

If it were not for the fact that there are over fifty people present, providing a sense of security, otherwise there would have been many cries and shouts by now

Only then did Lu Lianxue raise her fair, delicate hand, rubbing her forehead and letting out a sigh

Out of the corner of her eye, Lu Lianxue couldn't help but feel both amused and exasperated as she glanced at Zhang Wei

As a member of the Watchers, specifically tasked with combating demons and malevolent spirits, Lu Lianxue had long since encountered ghosts and was not afraid of them.

Another method is to eliminate the ghost that has cast the blood handprint curse

Lu Lianxue shook her head apologetically

To remove the blood handprint, there are only two methods

I am unable to remove the blood handprint; it is a curse from a ghost, and cannot be wiped away with ordinary methods such as a towel or saliva

He took in the expressions of everyone around him

At this moment

Now they seem to be in the classroom, but in reality, they are in the ghost realm of that spirit

Class monitor, class monitor, you understand ghosts so well, you must have a way to take me out of the library, please think of a solution quickly

However

Lu Lianxue stopped the study committee members and others

This moment

Lu Lianxue knew that the fact of the existence of ghosts could no longer be concealed from the public

They, like Lu Lianxue, were all stunned, their eyes wide open.

Lu Lianxue nodded

Even still

Who calls him the "chief culprit"

In the end, he said, not only others do not believe him, but he himself does not even believe his own words

It is the curse of the ghost; you have all been cursed by the ghost. That blood handprint is the ghost's curse upon you.

In language

Also speak of the matter regarding the blood handprint

And this has also led to

Some irritable individuals also rushed forward

In times of widespread illness, people often resort to various remedies in a state of panic

In moments of utmost terror, individuals invariably seek something to vent their emotions, and Zhou Pingyun became that outlet

intensified everyone's panic

Li Junfei and the others felt despair, unable to suppress the images that surfaced in their minds of the horror movies they had seen before, featuring gruesome scenes of ghosts dismembering and biting people to death.

He turned his head to look at Lu Lianxue and stepped forward to plead

Did not think too much about it

Zhou Pingyun remains in a state of madness, occasionally muttering phrases such as, "It's coming, don't look for me" and similar expressions

She discovered

Lu Lianxue was unsure if it was her own illusion, but just now, it seemed that she had caught a glimpse of a flicker of excitement in Zhang Wei's eyes

The conversation is not yet finished

This scene

Is there really no way, class monitor

Like erasing a pencil drawing

As long as one is not foolish, combined with what Zhang Wei mentioned earlier, the rumors brought by Li Junfei, along with Zhou Pingyun's words, it is evident that they have encountered something supernatural, which is clearly related to Zhou Pingyun.

The people around were all afraid of encountering ghosts, their faces showing varying degrees of panic and fear. However, Zhang Wei was not affected at all; instead, he appeared completely unfazed, looking around curiously in all directions, embodying the demeanor of a curious child

In response to this

She is also a Taoist priest

In perfect order

However, there is no need to panic; someone will come to rescue us. I have already contacted a friend.

Lu Lianxue, however, shook her head

Lu Lianxue spoke

Unable to go out

The sound of crying reverberates in everyone's ears

Under the gaze of everyone

This is the curse of the ghost; to put it plainly, it is a hex cast upon you by a ghost. As long as this blood handprint exists, the ghost will come for you and kill you

Class monitor, since you understand ghosts so well, could you lead us out of the ghost realm? Once we are out, I will treat you to a meal

What troubled Lu Lianxue even more was that she did not expect that the soul-calling game initiated by Zhou Pingyun would summon a ghost possessing a ghost domain

Zhang Wei picked up the half-used eraser from his desk

Just speaking

The class representative also spoke up

Class monitor, you cannot take us out, so can you help us remove this blood handprint

I want to take action against Zhou Pingyun

Once she takes out the talisman paper, the fear of death will make it impossible for everyone present to be selfless and willingly relinquish the removal of the blood handprint. They will inevitably compete for it, leading to an even more chaotic scene. Rather than this, it would be better not to take it out and save it for dealing with the ghost later

I believe everyone should be familiar with the concept of "ghost hitting the wall." For instance, when a person is walking on a dark road and cannot find their way out, or when they are wandering in a certain place and cannot leave, this is what is referred to as "ghost hitting the wall"

With the final hope shattered

She is very clear

That is a total of 116 people

Not everyone is afraid; there are two exceptions

Do you think this resembles it? Can such a blood-red night be conjured by human mischief

As the rubber shavings flew out, a corner of the bloodstain was wiped away

Everyone has come with attention

Last night, we were still here for evening self-study. Who do you think could connect all the windows and replace them with LCD screens in less than a night without us noticing

Lu Lianxue was at a loss whether to cry or to laugh

Hmm?

It also brought to mind the folklore surrounding ghosts

In addition to this

The crowd instantly erupted, a chilling sensation surged from their feet straight to the crown of their heads, and many were so frightened that their faces lost all color, trembling uncontrollably in fear

Draft it, it's all you, damn it, if you don't transfer schools, how would we encounter ghosts

By the way! Is the urine of a young boy effective? We definitely have a place here | male, it's not just in movies; there are also folk legends that say the urine of a young boy is a powerful weapon against ghosts

Under intense fear

Everyone present turned to look at Zhang Wei upon hearing Lu Lianxue's words

One method is the use of ritual implements for exorcism, such as talismanic paper and talismanic water

Who will come to save us

Others also looked over with hope

Glanced at the crowd

The scene immediately descended into chaos, and anyone with discernment could feel it. The anxiety among everyone intensified. Even though Lu Lianxue assured them that help would arrive, who could guarantee that before help came, the ghost would not kill them.

Speak of some matters regarding ghosts

Just thinking about this

I am sorry

Zhang Wei, I have mentioned that ordinary methods cannot wipe away blood handprints. You cannot erase them with an eraser... Hmm?

Could it be that those window panes are LCD screens displaying images of the sky? Li Junfei contemplated a possibility

We were merely pulled into its ghost realm by a spirit

They were all killed by ghosts

The study committee member is even more adept at managing Zhou Pingyun

Compared to encountering ghosts

Zhang Wei intends to use an eraser to wipe away the bloodstains.

Lu Lianxue was stunned, her beautiful eyes wide open, wearing an expression as if she had seen a ghost

They surrounded Lu Lianxue, with some classmates kneeling in front of her, crying and pleading for help

Subsequently

Panic spread at this moment like a plague, endlessly permeating the hearts of everyone, causing all to be flustered and unable to maintain composure

Then, Zhou Pingyun, who was driven mad with fear, grabbed his hair and spoke in terror

Zhou Pingyun frantically rubbed the bloodstains on his arms, trying to wipe them away in order to escape the haunting presence of the ghost.

including Li Junfei

The conversation is not yet finished

They speculate

Lu Lianxue sighed

If this haunted area only enveloped the classroom, I could still take you out with the *book*, but this haunting has covered most of the teaching building, which is beyond my capability to handle. I can only temporarily ensure your safety

Even

The various situations before us have long exceeded the realm that science can explain; no matter how one looks at it, it surpasses the standard, and only the notion of 'the supernatural' can provide an explanation

That is the ghost, there is no mistake; Lin Feng and the others were all killed by it

Just the thought of facing a ghost

Almost everyone’s face is filled with anxiety and fear

Everyone is in a state of panic

However

In films and folklore, although there are many narratives about ghosts, they all share a common point... ghosts are not something ordinary people can confront; when ordinary people encounter a ghost, there is a ninety-nine percent chance that the outcome will be a tragic death

simultaneously

However

Everyone, please remain calm. Zhou Pingyun has summoned a spirit using the Four Corners Ritual, but the spirit encountered this time may not necessarily be the same one as before

Class leader, what do you mean by that? A ghost's curse?

Although no one asked, their gazes were the same as Li Junfei's

Suddenly, when Lu Lianxue's gaze fell upon Zhang Wei, she was momentarily taken aback

Ruren Xue shook her head

However, except for this time

Even a fool can see it

If we cannot go out, then removing the blood handprint would suffice. Zhou Pingyun also mentioned that ghosts will seek out those with blood handprints, so if they are gone, wouldn't that mean they can no longer be found

Lin Feng and the others all had that bloody handprint, so they all died, and now that ghost is coming to find me

A female student, with a trembling voice, was clearly so frightened that she could no longer hold back her tears

Everyone's heart trembled violently, and no one could help but tense up all over. An overwhelming sense of fear surged from the depths of their hearts and quickly enveloped their entire bodies

Not just her

Although it looks frightening outside the window, it is not true that the sky has turned red

It frightened everyone

As for whether it is a prank

Ruren Xue is the class representative and is considered the goddess of their school

In this world, there are ghosts, and you are actually very aware of this. The events that are occurring now can only be explained as haunting, with no other explanation possible.

Only the sight of Lu Lianxue's stunningly beautiful face remained, as always, cold and aloof, as if she was not afraid of encountering ghosts

Feel the gaze of the crowd

Ruren Xue felt helpless

I see the situation

Just one night

She had anticipated the typical reactions of ordinary people when encountering a ghost, but she did not expect that Zhou Pingyun would be in such a state of collapse. She could only do her best to inform everyone not to panic, to gather closely together, as their collective energy would deter the ghost from acting for the time being

What?! Did you erase it?!

Silence is stifling

No one is willing to believe in the existence of ghosts

Wiping the bloodstains on the arm vigorously

Speaking

The blood-red night outside the window serves as the best proof

At this moment

Please provide the text you would like to have translated from Japanese to English.

This person either has a very thick skin or is mentally challenged

The so-called 'chemical leak' at Fukudō Normal University is likely the work of a ghost

Until he scratched his skin with his nails until it broke, blood flowed out, yet the bloodstains clung to him like maggots, unable to be shaken off, branded upon his flesh.

There is no way around it; while the urine of a young boy is indeed a powerful tool against ghosts, it is effective for dealing with ghosts themselves, not for countering ghostly curses

They are hurrying towards us and will arrive soon

The phenomenon known as "ghost hitting the wall" is, in fact, the most primitive form of a ghost realm

The classroom has become quiet

The class representative has also lost the will to pay attention to Zhou Pingyun, who now looks quite frightening, resembling a ghost

What the hell, can this still be exciting

Indeed

In the eyes of Li Junfei and the others

Nations quietly eliminate ghosts, ensuring that ordinary people remain unaware of the existence of ghosts in the world

She is also a member of the current official department of the Great Xia, known as the "Weidao Division"

I do not want to die here

Zhang Wei picked up the eraser from his desk and wiped away the bloodstain on his arm

The legitimate lineage of the orthodox Daoist sect originates from Longhu Mountain, where I am the sixty-third generation disciple. In the future, I am also expected to inherit the Daoist tradition of Longhu Mountain and become the sixty-fourth generation leader.

She cannot suppress the ghost without being noticed, as everyone has been drawn into the ghost realm and is further afflicted by the ghost's curse

I have been informed of the situation
