Assemble!

After the Scalpel was removed, Flower Language's eyes glazed over for a moment, and when her skin hardened again, her wound had healed.

The Doctor swiftly and decisively cut open his abdomen, precisely picking out the rose seeds, each one saturated with blood. Deprived of their nourishment, the vibrant roses on the outside withered instantly.

After picking out the Seeds, he ate a piece of the Dessert Chef's healing macrolon, and his abdominal wound healed instantly.

Lin Yi's gaze was drawn to these magical Item, but before he could get a good look at them, the two had already put away the Weird Object and walked over.

"You just said your friend is with you. Where is he? Take me to him."

Flower Language looked at him coldly. "Tell me, where is my master?"

Lin Yi pointed to Lin Nieran: "He's here."

As he pointed at Lin Nieran, he asked himself, "Brother, is this really okay?"

Lin Nieran gave him a reassuring look.

Wu Liang and Flower Language stared at the air he was pointing at, their eyes dangerous.

He really is here! You just can't see him!

Wu Liang stared at Lin Yi for a while, then suddenly asked, "And who are you? How do you know where he is?"

The Thorns surrounding Flower Language were all aimed at Lin Yi, but she knew a little more than Wu Liang; she remembered encountering him earlier that day, and it seemed his name was...

My name is Lin Yi.

Upon hearing the name, and considering what he had just said, they instantly understood.

Flower Language carefully put away the Thorns against Lin Yi's throat. Her tearful eyes and slightly furrowed brows, combined with her petite figure, gave her the appearance of an innocent little girl.

So it really was Lin Yi? Flower Language deeply regretted not seizing the opportunity to take him away first.

Wu Liang was a step slower, but he quickly put his hands behind his back, the Scalpel remaining at his fingertips.

Lin Nieran said helplessly, "These two guys, isn't it a bit too late to start acting now?"

"Where are you going?" Flower Language asked Lin Yi.

Lin Yi looked at Lin Nieran, repeating what Lin Nieran said.

"Go downstairs and meet up with the Calamity Crossing Squad."

"Don't let them find out about our relationship. You can go downstairs first, I'll follow."

Wu Liang and Flower Language nodded in unison, behaving very obediently.

Lin Yi / Lin Nieran: "Have you seen the others?"

Wu Liang shook his head, while Flower Language nodded.

"I saw the Puppet. He was my roommate, and he killed the head of discipline this morning."

Lin Yi: "Huh?"

Lin Nieran slapped his forehead. "I knew it."

He probably knows where the Puppet will be.

Downstairs, their original agreed time was 11 p. m., but it was only 9:30 p. m., and the four members of the Calamity Crossing Squad had already assembled ahead of time.

Why aren't you guys asleep?

An Ying asked the question, she threw out the Bamboo Umbrella. The spinning umbrella cut through layers of Black-Line Weird, and the areas around her that were missed were precisely finished off by Mi Chuchu.

"How can I sleep?" Tao Yuan's Chainsaw was extremely useful here, cutting off a large piece with each swing. She quickly cleared away the Black-Line Weird around her and then went to help the struggling Wang Ding clean up.

"I was alone in Area D, planning to go up to the third floor to take a look, but this strange thing forced me to come down halfway."

Mi Chuchu grabbed the Black-Line Weird and, with a stomp and a pull, tore them to shreds.

"This thing is never going to stop. I'll try to burn it all down."

The three of them immediately moved away from Mi Chuchu's direction.

Mi Chuchu held the lighter in one hand and ignited the fuel with the other, orange flames rising from her palm.

With a forceful swing, she tossed the flaming fuel into the Black-Line Weird.

The flames were Black-Line Weird, barely managing to rise as if trying to burn a piece of waterlogged wood, and soon went out.

"Okay, looks like it's not very useful. If the captain were here, his fire would definitely be more effective." Mi Chuchu put away her flintlock pistol and continued cutting the lines.

Wang Ding struggled to swat away the Black-Line Weird that were binding him with his whip, constantly using the gaps in his attacks to observe his surroundings. "We're surrounded by this thing outside. Shall we go to the cafeteria to take shelter?"

"Good."

As she spoke, An Ying aimed at the first-floor door, Bamboo Umbrella flew out, its ribs drawing a sharp arc, causing the Black-Line Weird one by one.

Wang Ding paused, seemingly noticing something out of the corner of his eye. He bent down and picked up a broken black thread to examine it closely.

As he looked at it, he frowned. "This thing is alive."

The three of them glanced at the black thread in his hand. The broken black thread was wriggling and twisting in Wang Ding's hand, and it did indeed look like some kind of worm, some kind of nematode.

"That's disgusting. Be careful not to let it get into your wound."

Tao Yuan and An Ying broke down the cafeteria door together. "Let's go in!"

Tao Yuan led the way, with An Ying bringing up the rear. When the group retreated to the cafeteria on the first floor, the Black-Line Weird slowly dispersed and did not creep in.

Tao Yuan shoved the Chainsaw into the ground and let out a long sigh of relief.

These Black-Line Weird and harmless, but they really consume a lot of energy. In such a short time, she has already used up most of her energy.

In the Prayer Room, the eyes of the sculpture holding a child silently brightened.

"If I'm not mistaken, didn't that Statue move a little?" Mi Chuchu, who happened to turn her head and catch a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of her eye, froze.

Tao Yuan shook his head cryptically. "Don't look, pretend you don't know."

These sculptures are eerie; most of them suggest that as long as one doesn't listen, look, or speak, one can avoid most dangers.

After resting for a while and recovering their strength and energy, when they looked out again, they found that the Black-Line Weird receding slowly. Although the speed was not fast, they were indeed retreating away from the steps.

An Ying tentatively stepped out of the door, and the dense Black-Line Weird and quickly returned.

He quickly retreated inside the doorway, leaning against the doorframe and staring Black-Line Weird that lingered against the wall, hesitant to enter.

"This thing is like the eyes of this Orphanage, restricting our movements."

"They don't dare come in; there must be some secret here." Tao Yuan hung the Chainsaw back on his waist. "Since we're already here, Wang Ding, where's that place you found today? Let's go take a look."

"Behind the sculpture--"

"Thump!" Their voices were interrupted by a dull thud.

The group looked in the direction of the sound and saw... a ball of black yarn?

The ball of yarn hit the door, bounced out even faster, and was caught in mid-air by a cat's paw, pinning it firmly to the ground, unable to move.

Holding the ball of yarn was a completely black Black Cat with clear blue eyes. It sat aloofly outside, watching them inside, its long, thin tail swaying gently.

"The Black Cat Organization of the Judgment Office?"

The Black Cat glanced at them indifferently, then lowered its head and bit the black ball of yarn. The surrounding black lines seemed completely oblivious to him, allowing him to easily walk to the Dining Hall entrance.

But as the Black Cat walked into the Dining Hall, some unexpected things happened.
