Mu Siyu's Rampage

Chapter 2: Mu Siyu's Rampage

The thought flashed through Hong Mo's mind. He glanced at the half-bald lecturer at the front, then turned his gaze back outside. Sure enough, attending chemistry class was a tragedy. If Bald Zhou hadn't kept such a tight grip on them, probably no one would have come to listen to his lectures.

On the fourth floor of the teaching building, the height and angle were perfect, and the view outside was excellent. Not far away lay Bright Splendor Pond, where students without classes sat idly in twos and threes on the stone benches by the water.

That was Mu Siyu!

Hong Mo spotted a familiar figure by the pond. Over the past year, Hong Mo had changed tremendously. Leaving everything else aside, his eyesight alone had improved severalfold. Even from several hundred meters away, he could still clearly make out Mu Siyu's features. If he focused, even the fine hairs on her face stood out distinctly.

But who was that loser across from her? He looked decent enough.

Hong Mo was jealous. Seeing that man made him jealous. He had no idea what the two were talking about, but the atmosphere did not look pleasant. Mu Siyu's expression was full of irritation.

When the man saw that he could not persuade her, he handed Mu Siyu a small DV camera and had her watch what was recorded on it.

The clip was very short. Because of the angle, Hong Mo could not see what was playing. However, after Mu Siyu watched it, her face turned as cold as ancient ice, and wisps of white mist slowly rose from Bright Splendor Pond.

Mu Siyu softly said something, slowly shaking her head. Then, as though caressing a lover, she extended her right hand and slowly reached her index finger toward the man's forehead.

"Wang Aoyun, you truly deserve to die!" Hong Mo suddenly read the words from Mu Siyu's lips.

This was bad!

Hong Mo's heart skipped a beat. Though he did not know what Wang Aoyun had shown Mu Siyu, it looked like she was about to lose her mind. With that thought, Hong Mo abruptly stood up, knocking the desk in front of him to the floor.

The loud clatter interrupted Bald Zhou's lecture, and every student in the class turned toward Hong Mo. Bald Zhou in particular glared at him with an unfriendly look.

Too late!

The instant Mu Siyu's index finger touched Wang Aoyun's brow, a violent cold wave and scattered water mist burst out from her body. A powerful current of air surged upward, and Mu Siyu's hair instantly turned snow-white, fluttering in the air like a fairy descending into the mortal world.

Unfortunately, this fairy was deadly.

Boundless cold and water vapor spread from Mu Siyu's body. Centered on her, countless ice crystals instantly formed across the ground and continued spreading outward. In barely ten seconds, they had nearly frozen their way to the teaching building where Hong Mo was.

We're doomed! Hong Mo sighed. This was going to be troublesome.

Yet his body still moved swiftly according to his thoughts, slamming all the classroom windows shut. Fortunately, not many windows in the classroom had been open, and Hong Mo managed to close them all before the cold wave arrived.

The moment the windows shut, countless ice crystals rapidly formed outside and continued spreading outward.

"What happened?"

From the moment Hong Mo knocked over the desk to when he shut the windows, only a little over ten seconds had passed. Many people had not even reacted yet.

Hong Mo closed his eyes and expanded his restrained psychic field. Like radar, information from the surrounding area appeared in his mind. A minute later, Hong Mo opened his eyes and gave a bitter smile. It had finally stopped. This was going to be a huge problem now. There was no way to hide it.

Yet deep down, Hong Mo suddenly felt a sense of relief. At last, he would not have to endure it anymore.

Within roughly five kilometers of Mu Siyu, everything had turned crystalline white, the ground covered in thick solid ice. On the road nearby, the sudden ice layer had caused several chain collisions, and billowing black smoke rose continuously.

By then, the students in the classroom had also noticed the ice outside the windows. Through the thick layer of ice, they could still see a dazzling expanse of white.

"Hong Mo, what happened?" One of Hong Mo's close friends quietly asked. Hong Mo had been the first to react, so perhaps only he knew something. Jiang Han was smart enough to ask him directly.

"Someone went on a rampage, I guess," Hong Mo answered vaguely.

"Went on a rampage?" Jiang Han did not understand.

"Teacher Zhou, we're surrounded. The windows and doors have all been sealed by ice." Only then did the students finally realize what had happened.

"It's all your fault. If you hadn't shut the windows, maybe we would still have had an escape route." A girl who had always disliked Hong Mo spoke up to accuse him.

"Tch, idiot. If I hadn't shut the windows, you'd all be dead already. Do you know how terrifying Mu Siyu's deep-cold aura is?" Hong Mo swatted away the hand pointing at him and replied disdainfully.

"Mu Siyu? Deep-cold aura? Hong Mo, what exactly happened?" Jiang Han pushed up his glasses and asked.

"What happened? You'll find out soon enough." Hong Mo glanced at his friend and sighed softly. From today onward, the two of them would walk different paths.

Hong Mo clenched his right fist. A ball of electricity flickered continuously around it, and the crackling current drew everyone's chaotic attention.

Open!

With a sharp crack, Hong Mo's right fist struck the window. Shards of ice flew violently outward, and a hole tall enough for a person appeared in the half-meter-thick ice layer. As the hole formed, a fierce cold wave blew in from outside, making everyone in the class shiver.

"Goodbye!" Hong Mo turned and said to Jiang Han, then leaped out through the hole.

"Hey, this is the fourth floor!" A petite girl cried out when she saw Hong Mo jump down just like that, then rushed to the edge of the opening to look.

In that instant, Hong Mo used the wall for leverage. His body streaked through the air like a bolt of lightning, and he had already reached Mu Siyu's side.

"So fast!" The girl stared at Hong Mo in the distance with her mouth open in shock. When she reached the opening, she happened to see the fading arc of electricity in the air.

Jiang Han also squeezed over to the window and looked at Hong Mo in the distance, as well as the crystalline ground below. Everywhere he looked was a dazzling expanse of white, with countless sharp, transparent icicles and ice spikes rising up. The entire campus seemed to have transformed into a fantastical realm.

Hong Mo appeared beside Mu Siyu and supported her swaying body.

"What happened?" Hong Mo asked with a frown.

Mu Siyu raised her head at his words. Her eyes were completely white, even her pupils gone. "He deserves to die!"

Huh? Hong Mo froze.

After a moment, he understood. Mu Siyu meant Wang Aoyun deserved to die. Fine, that guy did deserve to die. Seeing how she had exploded like this, recklessly going on a rampage regardless of the consequences, he must have done something utterly unforgivable. But wasn't he asking why?

However, it looked like Mu Siyu could no longer hold on. After answering, she went limp in Hong Mo's arms.

This was the first time he had held Mu Siyu like this.

Hong Mo looked at the dozen or so ice sculptures near Bright Splendor Pond and sighed. Mu Siyu, what had you done? What had Wang Aoyun done to push you into such a rampage? They were students at the same school, after all. This time, the death toll was probably no fewer than a thousand.

Sensing three other expanded psychic fields within the campus, Hong Mo smiled.

He and Mu Siyu truly were not alone. In just this one school, there were three other psychics. He had suspected it before, but had no way to prove it. But under the deep-cold aura of Mu Siyu's rampage, they had nowhere left to hide.

Unfortunately, there was no chance to speak with them now. It was time to run. Hong Mo picked up Mu Siyu, chose a direction, and sprinted away.
