Accompanied by this stern shout, a thunder talisman flew from Jiang Xuxu's hand. In the next second, three firebolts struck from the air, instantly turning the silken threads entangled in black energy into scorched ashes.
Along with it, the threads that were originally wrapped around Jiang Su's neck and feet also turned into ashes.
Jiang Su's body went limp, and he fell to the ground with the giant egg. Turning his head, he saw Jiang Xuxu, and his eyes instantly turned red. Opening his mouth, he wailed,
"...Jiang Xuxu... Sister! Sister! Wuwu! I was wrong, Sister!"
Jiang Xuxu, however, quickly stepped forward and slapped him on the head, "Stop howling! Carry your egg on your back and follow me."
She had only forced back those silken threads just now. This place was not safe.
As for what the silkworm egg on Jiang Su's back was, just looking at the way he was protecting it just now, it was easy to know that Lu Xuexi must be inside.
Jiang Su was used to being slapped by his old dad. Being slapped by her out of the blue gave him a sense of intimacy, and he instantly forgot to cry. Nodding, he quickly carried the silkworm egg, which was as tall as a person, on his back and got up.
Jiang Xuxu led him back downstairs. Taking advantage of the temporary safety, she casually pulled out a yellow talisman and flicked it. The yellow talisman instantly seemed as tough as a blade in her hand.
Jiang Su only saw her pinching the yellow talisman with two fingers and swiping it casually. The silkworm egg that he had just placed on the ground instantly broke into two halves. In the next instant, a girl fell out of the egg.
Jiang Su quickly helped her up.
Jiang Xuxu was stunned for a moment when she saw the obviously unfamiliar girl, "Who is this? Where's Lu Xuexi?"
"She's Chun Chun. Sister Xuexi... she's still upstairs."
Jiang Su's tone was stiff for a moment when he spoke of Lu Xuexi. Jiang Xuxu didn't notice, but couldn't help but frown when she heard that the person was still upstairs.
"You three meet up, why did you have to choose this kind of place?"
Jiang Xuxu was speechless.
Who would choose this kind of place for a normal meeting with an online friend?
Jiang Su's expression stiffened, and he looked at Jiang Xuxu with obvious guilt on his face,
"N-not three..."
Jiang Xuxu's forehead twitched, and she suddenly had an ominous premonition.
"There are nine of us. Besides me and Chun Chun, there are seven more upstairs..."
Jiang Xuxu: ...
In this day and age, do people have to get together to seek death?
But she couldn't pretend not to know about seven lives.
"You take her and leave here first. I'll go find people."
Jiang Xuxu said this and was about to leave, but Jiang Su suddenly grabbed her. His face still looked like he was in shock, but at this time, he wiped his eyes with the back of his hand. The teenager's expression was determined,
"I'll go with you. I know where they are."
Jiang Xuxu looked at him and didn't refuse, only asking him, "You might encounter the thing from just now again. Aren't you afraid?"
"You came to save me. I have to be responsible for you."
Jiang Su knew that if it weren't for Jiang Xuxu today, he would definitely have died here.
He was a man, so how could he leave her and run away? Their Jiang family wasn't this kind of irresponsible person.
Besides, there were so many people, so many eggs, how could she save them all by herself?
Jiang Xuxu only thought for a moment, then nodded. In the next second, she took out a jade pendant from her small bag and handed it to him.
"This is a protective jade pendant. Wear it on your body. If the situation is not right, you run straight away."
Seeing the familiar jade pendant, Jiang Su's eyes lit up. He immediately took off the silver chain around his neck, threw away the original pendant, and directly put on the jade pendant and wore it around his neck.
Seeing Jiang Xuxu rummage in her backpack again, and finally take out a utility knife, she casually took out a piece of yellow paper, wrapped it around the handle, and handed it to him,
"Here, for self-defense."
Jiang Su's mouth twitched as he looked at the utility knife.
Didn't everyone say that masters carried all kinds of magical instruments with them? Why didn't she even have a peach wood sword?
This utility knife was too perfunctory, wasn't it?
However, having something was better than having nothing.
Jiang Su accepted it together.
Jiang Xuxu communicated with him about the possible situations that would happen later, and confirmed that Jiang Su understood. Then, she took out a few more yellow talismans from her bag.
Jiang Su only saw her flick her hand, and the yellow talismans instantly formed a circle in the air, and then quickly fell from above Chun Chun, directly erecting a barrier around her.
Jiang Su was stunned.
Jiang Xuxu really knew magic...
He suddenly had a little more confidence in the small utility knife in his hand.
The two went upstairs again. When they reached the rooftop, they found that the door to the rooftop had already begun to be entangled with strands of silken threads.
Jiang Xuxu directly took out a fire talisman and burned the silken threads, opened the door, and saw that seven giant eggs were neatly placed on the rooftop.
Jiang Xuxu gestured for Jiang Su to hide behind the door, and she stepped inside.
Jiang Xuxu thought that she was cautious enough, but she didn't expect that the moment she stepped onto the rooftop, her eyes went dizzy, and when she reacted, her whole person had already fallen into another illusion.
It was still the rooftop in front of her, but the scene was another day.
A girl in a school uniform was pushed to the ground by several other people. Soon someone went up and sat on her body, and began to pinch her body indiscriminately.
"Your mom sells snacks at a stall, but she raised you so fair and fat. There's so much meat, it feels good to pinch. You guys try it too, remember to pinch the places covered by clothes, don't let people find out."
"I heard that some people get bruised right away after being pinched, why don't we take off her clothes and see."
The girl struggled desperately, but her upper garment was still taken off.
Several girls laughed around her, and even took out their phones to take pictures.
The girl hugged her body and cried for mercy.
The scene changed.
The girl stood at the top of the rooftop, her clothes neat, but she jumped off the building without hesitation.
It was the same scene, but it was a boy in a school uniform. He stood in the same position as the girl, holding a stack of test papers in his hand, his eyes numb, tearing the test papers over and over again.
Finally, he threw the torn test papers into the air, and the scraps of paper flew all over the sky. The boy also jumped off with the scraps of paper flying all over the sky.
Jiang Xuxu stood in place, watching the young lives who came and went constantly disappearing here.
They were either bullied, or under too much academic pressure, or molested but instead criticized. They all had resentment and injustice towards the surrounding area or school. Their resentment wrapped around this teaching building day after day, affecting the people who came later.
Perhaps some people didn't want to die, but they still chose to end their lives.
Even if she looked at those scenes through time and space, she seemed to feel the faint resentment invading her.
Jiang Xuxu frowned and was about to find a way to leave when the scene in front of her changed again. And this time, the person who appeared made her hand, which was about to move, suddenly stop.
In the new scene, there was a girl who looked sixteen or seventeen years old. Unlike the students in front, the girl's abdomen had a slight bulge. At this time, she was protecting her abdomen and retreating step by step.
And in front of her, slowly approaching her, was Guan Ruirui.
