Xiwu Academy.
Night fell like ink.
Zhong Kui Jingyi, who had been running with all her might, had involuntarily come to a stop.
She was already at the very heart of the academy. High walls surrounded her, and directly ahead stood a lone building.
It was small, with blue bricks and dark tiles, black pillars, and drum-shaped stone ornaments. Its window lattice was carved with patterns symbolizing peace through all four seasons.
The Headmaster stood outside, his green robe faded white, his hands tucked into his sleeves.
This must have been the Headmaster's residence.
But right now, the Headmaster had not gone inside. He stood ramrod straight outside the door, letting the torrential rain soak him to the skin.
Just then, footsteps sounded behind Zhong Kui Jingyi. She whipped around and saw the student from Class C, who had been following her all along, hurrying toward her.
Her face paled slightly. Ahead of her was the Headmaster, who had become "anomalous," and behind her was the student who wanted to play hide-and-seek with her!
Should she go forward or turn back?
As Zhong Kui Jingyi hurriedly considered what to do, Pei Ling also came to a stop. He had chased Yan Minghua all the way to the deepest part of the academy. There was nowhere left for her to run!
But before he could celebrate, he spotted a lone building ahead. The real Headmaster was standing guard outside, staring straight at the two of them.
Pei Ling's expression turned grave. This anomalous Headmaster was far more difficult to deal with than those students!
Still, all he needed to do was touch Yan Minghua, and she would regain her memories.
Then the two of them could slowly slip out of the Headmaster's sight, find Zhong Kui Jingyi, and escape this anomaly
