My head jerked backward, dodging her slash.
Horror Classroom—Section 22
Brushing past the jaws of death left me trembling all over.
Han Qianqian brought the dagger down again. This time, there was nowhere for me to dodge, and my arm was already cut. I clutched my arm and turned to run into the school building. In the blink of an eye, I rushed into the first classroom, then quickly hid behind the door.
Han Qianqian came over and entered the classroom. Her gaze swept across the room, and after seeing that no one was there, she turned and left.
Chapter 29: Submission and the Ghost
Seeing this, I breathed a sigh of relief. I took the gauze I had prepared earlier from my pocket and bandaged my arm, then prepared to leave the classroom.
But when I turned around to go out, I saw Han Qianqian standing right outside the door. She gripped her dagger and silently waited for me!
She had discovered me long ago. She had merely pretended not to see me!
The vicious dagger thrust straight toward my chest. At that moment, I slammed the door shut again. Her arm pierced through the door, but it didn't hurt me.
"Sorry for the trouble."
I muttered to myself, then turned and dashed toward the windowsill. The door behind me was smashed apart with a thunderous crash. By then, however, I had already escaped and reached the washroom.
It was incredibly cramped here, with nowhere to hide at all.
I could only stay here for a while before heading somewhere else.
After resting briefly and recovering some of my strength, I saw Han Qianqian's figure moving at an astonishing speed. Ever since I had escaped from her, she had fallen into some inexplicable frenzy.
Through the crack in the door, I could see Han Qianqian frantically searching for me. Just thinking about it gave me a splitting headache.
I had to get out of the washroom now, but Han Qianqian was in the school building next door. The moment I went out, I might run straight into her. If that happened, I would truly be seeking my own death.
Just then, a sudden pain struck my back. I immediately realized that the door had been opened.
Han Qianqian seemed to have noticed something as well, and her figure hurriedly moved away.
I breathed a sigh of relief and hurried out of the washroom, looking toward the nearest school gate.
Evading Han Qianqian's pursuit for three hours wasn't the most dangerous part. The truly dangerous part was escaping through the school gate.
This was the most thrilling moment. The escape route had appeared. As long as I got out, I would truly be safe.
But at this point, Han Qianqian would become frenzied. Once she attacked, there would basically be no hope of survival. Her inhuman strength was enough to chop a person in half with nothing more than a simple dagger.
I looked toward the nearest gate and hid among the plants beside it. The surrounding field was overgrown with weeds, some of them even taller than a meter. Hidden among them, I didn't have to worry about being discovered.
Han Qianqian was indeed standing in front of the gate. She looked around, waiting for prey to arrive. If anyone failed to notice her and was discovered, she would attack them.
Then Han Qianqian seemed to spot something. Her figure flashed past, and she was suddenly hundreds of meters away.
My eyes lit up with excitement. Without time to think, I sprinted madly toward the gate.
As long as I ran through the gate, I would be safe. But the next moment, I felt a chill run down my back. A figure had already appeared in front of me.
The dagger came slashing down. Instead of advancing, I retreated. Her dagger missed me and landed on my shoulder instead.
At that moment, I thrust out my hand, raised the Evil Ghost Bracelet with all my strength, and smashed it viciously toward Han Qianqian.
However, Han Qianqian reacted even faster than I did. She suddenly grabbed my hand and blocked the Evil Ghost Bracelet. But when the Evil Ghost Bracelet struck her, it still caused her excruciating pain. She let out a scream and swung down the dagger in her hand.
I screamed as well. Although I had dodged my vital organs in time, the slash still landed on my shoulder.
I hurriedly backed away, trying to rush through the gate. But Han Qianqian blocked my path.
This time, I truly had no way out. I crawled and rolled, narrowly dodging one attack after another. But with my violent movements, more and more blood poured from my body.
My head spun, and I felt dazed and groggy. Yet when I saw the frenzied Han Qianqian, I could only keep running helplessly.
Han Qianqian soon drove me to the end of my rope. Her figure flashed, and the dagger came slashing toward me. I hurriedly raised the Evil Ghost Bracelet to block it. But the next moment, a crack appeared in the Evil Ghost Bracelet. It had actually been cut in half by the dagger.
Then I suddenly thought of something. I had already pulled the Soul Summoning Bell from my palm.
Without time to think, I shook the Soul Summoning Bell frantically, hoping to summon a ghost to help me turn the situation around. However, no matter how hard I shook it, not a single ghost appeared.
Han Qianqian looked at me and slowly raised her dagger.
I stretched out my hand and hurriedly shouted at her, "Wait!"
Han Qianqian stabbed down without hesitation. I rolled away, dodging her pursuit. But Han Qianqian kept pressing forward. Looking at her ferocious expression, I knew she wouldn't let me go no matter what.
Thinking of this, I shouted frantically, "You even killed your own mother! Are you going to kill me this time too? You demon!"
Upon hearing my words, Han Qianqian's movements actually faltered slightly. I froze for a moment, realizing that something was strange about her condition.
I hurriedly added, "Wake up! I know you're innocent. This is all the mastermind's fault. It used you, and it used Master Du Mo too. Master Du Mo was the one who made you like this, but the situation before us was orchestrated by the mastermind."
"Do you really want to slaughter innocent people indiscriminately?"
However, Han Qianqian quickly resumed her movements and continued pursuing me with a vicious gaze.
I kept trying to influence her with my words, but it had almost no effect. Perhaps they had affected her a little at first, but later, she became increasingly savage.
Han Qianqian's dagger plunged straight toward my chest. I had no strength left to resist.
At this extremely critical moment, I suddenly blurted out, "Li Yang!"
After I shouted that name, Han Qianqian stopped moving and glared at me viciously. Yet it was as if the name had struck a chord within her.
