Chapter Nine, The Mysterious Monk

"Indeed, it feels just like a curse." I sat beside, wearing a bitter smile.

"This is not a place for conversation, follow me." After I finished speaking, I turned and walked away

Li Tongtian nodded without surprise: "The reason I entered back then was the same as yours. A certain classmate suddenly became wealthy, and out of curiosity, I wanted to observe him, and as a result, I ended up entering as well"

"No matter who he is, Han Qianqian is making a comeback now. We must find a way to deal with her. Otherwise, none of us can escape death," Li Tongtian said to me.

I do not know either, it depends on what stage she has reached now. After the monk finished speaking, he gently shook his head, lifted the lantern, and walked away slowly. His steps were unsteady, yet he had never fallen.

He is dead; he has escaped five assassination attempts, but in the end, he could not escape death. Li Tongtian shook his head and sighed, "Escaping once or twice is not significant; the later it gets, the more dangerous the situation becomes. Han Qianqian will prioritize hunting down those veterans."

That monk is truly peculiar. Firstly, the robe he wears is surprisingly a black monk's robe

At this point, he gazed at the playground with a sense of lamentation and murmured, "I truly do not know how many more people will be drawn into this nightmare."

Who exactly is this monk

Since it was brought by Lele, there is no need for payment. Just be careful not to let the wound get infected, the bald man said

It seems that you care a lot about your boyfriend, the bald man joked

Is that so? I sat to the side, looking at him as I said, "I didn't expect you to have survived as well"

I was taken aback for a moment and walked out of the classroom

Lan Lele let out a sigh of relief and softly said, "That really scared me; fortunately, nothing happened"

"You can just fire me if you want to," I said nonchalantly

Therefore, as time goes on, the situation has become increasingly dire. So far, I have escaped four times." Li Tongtian said

The doctor here is a bald man. He reached out his hand to lift my back, frowned, and began to clean my wound. Soon, the wound was all bandaged up. His gaze turned to me as he murmured, "In the future, try to avoid fighting as much as possible. Your injuries are not very serious. But if the other party were a bit more ruthless, then you would be in serious trouble."

Li Tongtian fell silent for a moment and replied: "Many, those students who became rich overnight are mostly like us. They entered the abandoned school. Moreover, many of them entered even earlier than we did."

But when I walked over, I was taken aback, for it was a pale-faced monk, his eyes clouded, and he turned out to be blind

However, I saw a boy waiting for me. When I saw him, I was momentarily taken aback; this person was indeed the bespectacled man.

Is that so? The monk released my arm and murmured, "I never expected that after five years, she would still come out."

Wu Yong looked at me and stammered, "Boss, you've been spending so extravagantly lately, where is all the money coming from"

As soon as I think of this, I become alert and begin to recall the various aspects of that monk

"You don't need to worry about me, just accompany me and enjoy the meal together." I waved my hand and said nonchalantly

Wu Yong looked at me with envy and said, "You are really too arrogant now, you don't even take the class teacher seriously."

"Since you are blind, why do you need to carry a lantern?" I asked him curiously.

Upon returning to the classroom with the * picture * book, I expected to be met with a scolding from the homeroom teacher

I understand," I said as I looked at him

I hesitated for a moment and told him the reason I initially entered.

I have finally found you," he said as he looked at me

"You saved me, and I am very grateful to you," Lan Lele said, looking into my eyes

Just as the class was ending, a girl suddenly said: "Liang Fan, someone is looking for you"

The scars on my back constantly remind me that death is just around the corner

"To escape from Han Qianqian's grasp is, after all, a matter of luck. A moment's inattention could lead to death." Li Tongtian looked at me, his voice indifferent as he said, "But as long as we bear this scar, no matter how many times we manage to escape, we will ultimately return."

I was taken aback, and only then did I understand why Han Qianqian did not kill me but chose to kill Li Yuming instead. So this is how it was.

"Hehe, good." Wu Yong nodded.

The next day, I suddenly woke up with a start, rubbed my head, and suddenly recalled what had happened yesterday. With a strange expression, I said: "Who on earth is that monk! How could he know about Han Qianqian's matters!"

"What are you following me for?" I asked her as I looked at her

I chatted with Li Tongtian for a while longer, and only then did he rise to take his leave. As he was about to depart, he turned his head to look at me and said, "In the future, if there is any intelligence, we can share it. After all, our goal is the same, which is to escape from Han Qianqian's pursuit"

Having finished drinking, I staggered along the street. As I passed a narrow path, the street was shrouded in darkness. I swayed my body, my gaze fixed ahead.

I have also seen many monks, but none wore robes of this color. Moreover, there is not a trace of the benevolent aura typical of a monk about him; instead, there is only an endless coldness and silence that chills one to the bone at just a glance

I was just about to refute, but upon seeing the man's face, I did not know why I blurted out: "It was found in a coffin."

"How did you get into the abandoned school?" Li Tongtian asked me.

"She must have been sealed by someone during these five years." I frowned and spoke of the coffin I had seen.

I glanced at him and said with a wry smile, "Where are you going to seek knowledge?"

However, Lan Lele followed closely beside me, occasionally glancing in my direction

Due to my intoxication, my mind was muddled, and I completely disregarded his words, merely stating: "This bracelet is quite impressive; it is a magical artifact."

He looked at me deeply and said seriously, "You must be careful; the fifth time is truly the terrifying moment. It is said that few can escape the fifth pursuit"

Li Tongtian nodded and looked at me, saying: "I will investigate this matter. The school's reaction has been quite strange during this period. Perhaps they are planning some actions, so you must be cautious."

"I cannot see, yet all beings can see," the monk said as he looked at me

Under such pressure, I have no inclination to study at all

"No way, he is not my boyfriend." Although she said this, Lan Lele's face turned red, and she looked at me with sparkling eyes

"Why bother with so much? I'll treat you to a meal later," I said lazily, resting my head on the table.

"Dealing with her is not an easy task." I shook my head, suddenly recalling something, and asked, "Apart from us, are there others in the school who are like us?"

"Crazy!" I muttered, and soon after returning home, I lay down on the bed and fell asleep

Thanks to your blessings, I left through the main gate without anyone pursuing me said Li Tongtian

But the monk suddenly grabbed my hand, his expression becoming extremely serious: "Where did you get this bracelet?"

As far as I know, Han Qianqian disappeared five years ago, but now she has reemerged. Something must have happened during this time

I feel a chill all over my body. Li Tongtian's words made me realize that before us, many more people had died in the abandoned school buildings

"Then you are truly fortunate; I almost died." I frowned, as the burning pain still lingers behind me.

However, the homeroom teacher turned a blind eye to my blatant truancy, which left me both relieved and somewhat perplexed

As a result, my academic performance has plummeted, but I do not care at all

In the evening, I invited Wu Yong to dinner, ordered seven or eight dishes, and we drank to the point of inebriation

I expressed my gratitude and turned to leave the clinic

We arrived at a secluded pavilion in the school, where the bespectacled man sat beside me and said, "You must be Liang Fan, right? Nice to meet you, I am Li Tongtian."

So that's how it is. Li Tongtian nodded in realization, turning his gaze towards me and said: "If that's the case, then the school must have invited a master back then to be able to seal Han Qianqian."

Lan Lele stamped her foot, looking at me with annoyance, muttering: "Looking so ugly, what are you trying to be cool for"

This person did not respond and walked by slowly

That is indeed a troubling matter. I shook my head and said earnestly: "Regarding Han Qianqian, the school has been very tight-lipped about the situation. Up to now, I still do not know who was responsible for her death, forcing her to choose suicide"

I do not need your gratitude, nor do I know why I saved you. In any case, cherish the present time well. After I finished speaking, I turned around and left

I have also escaped four times," I said

What happened to that classmate later? I asked

That makes sense. I nodded and was about to leave

I once saw Han Qianqian give up on someone who was within arm's reach, only to rush towards someone hundreds of meters away. This indicates that Han Qianqian is also aware that those who truly pose a threat to her are, in fact, these seasoned individuals

What can be done to deal with her? I asked curiously

At this moment, a figure slowly emerged. It was a person wearing a bamboo hat, dressed in a black monk's robe. In his left hand, he held a metal staff, while in his right hand, he carried a lantern, walking slowly like this

I waved my arm and said to the bald man: "How much?"

I cast a wandering glance at the classroom, already in my third year of high school. Everyone is diligently studying. Yet, I feel completely out of place among them

"Useless, this bracelet alone is not enough for you to deal with her," the monk said, shaking his head

Take me to a slum, and unexpectedly, Lan Lele brought me to a clandestine clinic. This place is very remote, and the patients treated here are all those who cannot be seen in the light.

Originally, my studies were not too poor, and I was among the top in my class. However, now I have completely fallen from grace. Even when it comes to books, I am unwilling to turn a single page.

That is natural I looked at him and smiled slightly
