Ding ring ring! Ding ring ring!

Amidst the crescendoing ringtone, Tai Citys No. 1 Senior High School teachers and studentswho were returning home after schoolraised their phones at the same time and brought them to their ears.

This matched Genavas call to the mysterious number perfectly!

Even though they couldnt figure out the reason for the sudden change, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen instinctively felt fear when they saw this. Unlike Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao, they had already heard Genava mention Dajiang Citys Elite Middle School. They knew that Du Shaochong, Xu Qiao, and Deng Tong happened to come from this school, and they actually didnt know each other previously.

This was completely impossible. If it were any ordinary student, it would be normal not to know a schoolmate from the same middle school and grade. However, Xu Qiao, Du Shaochong, and Deng Tong were either outstanding in their studies or had a notorious reputation; they would stand out anywhere.

Even if some of them only became like this when they entered high school, it was impossible for all three of them to be the same. Such a coincidence could only prove that it wasnt a coincidence at all and that there was definitely a deeper reason.

Upon hearing Shang Jianyaos evaluation that Master Zhuangs condition was worse than his and considering how his illness was a split personality, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen naturally made some connections upon combining the scene in front of them.

Could it be that everyone in the dreamor rather, the entire set of thoughts that represents a personoriginates from Master Zhuang and were different personalities that he had split off? Therefore, although it seems like everyone has their own name and background story, they would answer with Dajiang City or Dajiang Citys Elite Middle School when asked questions about where they transferred from or their previous school.

Upon realizing this, Long Yuehongs legs went limp when he realized that they were surrounded by Master Zhuang and that They were simultaneously answering a call suspected to be made by Genava.

At that moment, the ringing stopped.

The call connected.

Jiang Baimian couldnt stop Genava in time.

The light around them dimmed significantly, and the sky was so dark that it seemed like there was just a tiny glow left after sunset.

The other sounds completely vanished from Shang Jianyao and the others ears. They could only hear their hearts thumping.

The air around them froze like sticky liquid, and the water pressure made it difficult for them to breathe.

Almost at the same time, the red glow in Genavas eyes suddenly shrank and collapsed into two faint black holes that seemed to connect to another world.

Were just calling for help, not making an enemy of Master Zhuang Were just calling for help, not making an enemy of Master Zhuang

Feeling Genavas gaze, Jiang Baimian constantly repeated this sentence in her heart to soothe the fear that suddenly rose in her. She tried to put up a normal request for help and inform Master Zhuang on the other end of the line to see if there was any room for negotiation.

Just as Jiang Baimian was about to speak, a voice interrupted her. Great Kalendaria, help us escape the predicament we are in! Man is selfless; the New World is in front of us!

Shang Jianyao didnt blush at all, nor was he embarrassed. Having ten times thicker skin was used for such situations.

With a click, Genavas neck slowly turned, and his two eyeswhich had become black holeslooked at Shang Jianyao.

In unison, the students and teacherswho had raised their phones to their earsturned around or turned their heads to look over quietly.

Under the silent gazes of hundreds to thousands of people, Long Yuehong had a layer of goosebumps all over his body, and his back was covered in sweat.

The next second, the entire world turned completely dark.

Badump! Badump!

Long Yuehong, Bai Chen, Shang Jianyao, and Jiang Baimians hearts raced uncontrollably as if they were about to jump out of their throats. At this moment, they felt like they were about to die from a heart attack.

Suddenly, a gentle light lit up, and the darkness retreated like a receding tide. The sky quickly returned to its original brightness.

In front of Jiang Baimian and the others, the students and teachers who had finished school vanished into thin air. Tai Citys No. 1 Senior High School returned to its original desolate and abandoned state.

Huff, huff

Long Yuehong took a deep breath and felt his heartbeat slowly return to normal.

Jiang Baimian looked around and realized that there were tire marks left behind by cars driving around the school. This made her certain that Bai Chens previous actions of driving away from Tai City had only resulted in them circling around No.1 Senior High a few times.

Things are back to normal? Bai Chens forehead was covered in a layer of cold sweat.

Just as she said that, Shang Jianyao suddenly pounced, hugged Genava, and cried, Old Ge, dont die!

A red glow lit up in Genavas eyes as they flickered a few times. What happened?

Nothing. Shang Jianyao stood up and smiled. From now on, Im the carefree one.

Are you joking, or did you split out another personality?

Jiang Baimian frowned. She exhaled deeply and said, It seems like weve escaped danger. That call for help was really useful.

They had directly pleaded with the person in question.

The red light in Genavas eyes flickered a few times. The string of random code has disappeared, and theres nothing in my backup database.

Shang Jianyao suddenly laughed out loud. Its fine. Big White still has a handwritten copy.

Jiang Baimian shot him a glance. After Oray called this number and spoke to Master Zhuang, the number didnt disappear from the phone and was preserved until now. This means that Master Zhuang deliberately erased Old Ges stored number. It probably means that there wont be a next time and that weve been put on the do not disturb list. If you call again, Im afraid everyone around us will become Heartless.

Anything that a New World powerhouse could do, the Kalendaria could definitely do the same.

I can sincerely worship Him.' Shang Jianyao felt rather regretful.

At this moment, Long Yuehongwho had recoveredsighed. I never expected that Oray would go from nothing to an Awakened who had explored the depths of the Mind Corridor. He considered himself First Citys emperor because he obtained Master Zhuangs blessings.

Representing the entire year, Master Zhuang was the most special Kalendaria.

Thats right, thats right, Shang Jianyao echoed.

Jiang Baimian fell silent for a moment before saying, It seems like there were more or less Kalendarium behind the establishment of the various large factions. I wonder if the Salvation Armywhich was established the latestand the company that has been underground the entire time have one

I dont think so, Long Yuehong replied without much confidence.

In the current environment, it was not suitable to discuss this topic. Bai Chen looked at the abandoned Tai Citys No. 1 Senior High School and asked, Are we still exploring?

Theres no need, right? Long Yuehong took a deep breath as if he had a headache.

It wasnt easy for them to escape the hopeless situation. How could they tempt fate again?

There was no Master Zhuang number to call again! Furthermore, repeatedly doing so might anger Master Zhuang.

Jiang Baimian glared at the eager Shang Jianyao and agreed with Long Yuehong. Being adventurous is worthy of a compliment, but being suicidal deserves criticism. We have to balance that fine line well. Lets go

She wanted to say, Lets go to Renhui Hospitals Vegetative Rehabilitation Center to take a look. However, she felt that the team memberswho had experienced such a harrowing explorationneeded some time to process their experience.

Lets get some R&R outside Tai City first. Jiang Baimian finally chose to wait until afternoon.

As Shang Jianyao followed Genava to the jeep, he revealed a thoughtful expression. Im wondering

Why does this tone sound so familiar?

Jiang Baimian turned her head and asked, What are you wondering about?

Im wondering if Xiaochong and Master Zhuang are related. Could he be His split personality? Shang Jianyaos eyes were bright. Otherwise, why would the white light I obtained at the Holm Fertility Center rush straight to the rift that represents Xiaochong the moment it entered my Sea of Origins? Why didnt it entangle with others like enemies and never scatter?

Long Yuehong subconsciously wanted to deny this terrifying possibility. You already said like enemies.'

Its very common for different personalities to be enemies! Shang Jianyao said confidently.

How is that common?

Long Yuehong argued inwardly.

Besides, Tai Citys No. 1 Senior High School has Du Shaochong, Shang Jianyao added.

Jiang Baimian nodded slightly. Theres a certain possibility. Theres also a way to confirm it.

What way? Shang Jianyao asked excitedly.

Jiang Baimian looked around. If we can determine that Swamp Ruin 1 is Dajiang City, the answer is self-evident.

Swamp Ruin 1 was the ruin where the Old Task Force had encountered Xiaochong.

We can get the information from the company later, Bai Chen suggested.

As they spoke, they had already gotten into the jeep and sat down.

At this moment, they heard a bird chirping. They saw a bird come from not far away and enter Tai Citys No. 1 Senior High School. After circling a few times, it left in another direction.

This was a scene that had never happened before.

From the outside, Tai Citys No. 1 Senior High School looked dead silent as if there were no living beings.

Shang Jianyao muttered to himself, Our call woke up Master Zhuang, and the dream naturally subsided when Master Zhuang woke up?
