「The Horror of the Haunted School」A Horrifying Discovery

The two of them ran like mad, with a twisted ghost shadow hopping and chasing after them. However, because the ghost shadow moved with the same hand and foot, and its body was extremely uncoordinated, under Leo's lead, they quickly shook off the principal.

"Why didn't you use that powerful item earlier?" Linda asked, gasping for breath while covering her chest with one hand.

Leo said, "Because the cooldown time is very long. And what are you covering your chest for?"

Linda gave him a glare. "What do you think!"

Just now, Leo kicked her in the chest to save her. Although that kick wasn't extremely forceful, Leo definitely put some strength into it in that life-or-death situation, and it hurt Linda quite a bit!

"Sorry, it was a special situation. I had to deal with it in a special way... Do you want me to rub it for you?"

"Get lost!"

Leo rolled his eyes. Women were really strange creatures. He was trying to be kind and offer to rub her chest to ease the pain, but she told him to get lost.

The computer room was in another building. There were still three hours left until the morning reading session the next day. Leo and Linda decided to give it a try in the computer room. Maybe they could find something out?

"By the way, where did you get that shotgun?"

"In the last dungeon, I was in a wilderness survival scenario. I was worried that I might encounter similar situations again, so I bought a lot of things like guns, small knives, tents, firewood, ropes, fishing lines, sunscreen, waterproof bedding..."

Looking at the large number of items in Linda's inventory, Leo praised, "I didn't expect you to be so well-prepared. This time, it's thanks to you bringing the gun. Otherwise, we would have had to go through the window, and maybe one of us would have had to stay behind."

Hearing Leo's compliment, Linda was delighted. She raised her delicate chin and snorted, "Of course! I, Linda, am not some newbie!"

After a pause, she took out a shotgun from her inventory and handed it to Leo. "Here, I'll give you a shotgun. The domain system will be activated later. If you use the shotgun now, you can also increase your proficiency in the firearms domain!"

Leo took the shotgun that Linda handed him and thanked her. This shotgun wasn't an ordinary one from the outside world but an item exchanged in the game mall. Although it didn't have a great killing power against ghosts, it could stun them, and it had a good silencing effect. For a newbie, it was quite a precious item.

:"The Breaker" costs 2000 points in the mall. Is my goddess really giving it away like this?

"Damn it! Could Linda have fallen for this psycho Leo? I'm going to unfollow!"

"Leo has saved her twice. Regardless of personal likes and dislikes, it's only right to give a little gift in return."

"Wuwuwu, my goddess... my goddess... But it doesn't matter. I'll still like you!"

"The guy above is such a sycophant!"

...

They found the computer room. Leo took out his gun and fired at the door lock. The door opened.

The computer rooms in high schools were usually not used very often. When students went in to study, they mostly just played around. However, in most high schools that applied for special projects, the computer room was almost a necessary public facility. It might not be used frequently, but it had to be there.

Linda kept watch for Leo while the latter used the school's network to search for information about Chen Qiong on the Internet.

"How's it going?" Linda couldn't help but ask when she saw Leo's fingers furiously tapping on the keyboard.

Leo stared intently at the screen and replied, "The person behind this has a powerful background. All the information about it on the Internet has actually been blocked and cleared!"

"But it doesn't matter. I can access the 'Black Sea' to search for it."

Linda was confused. "The Black Sea? What's that?"

"It's the junkyard of the Internet," Leo explained. "Generally speaking, the information on the Internet isn't completely deleted. When all the data that has ever appeared is cleared, the code will be sorted into the Black Sea. But getting the key to access the Black Sea is very troublesome. I need to compile it on the spot, test for errors, make modifications, and then log in."

The more he explained, the more stunned Linda became. "Were you a hacker before? Why do you know so much?"

Leo looked serious. "No, I'm a psychiatrist. I once had a patient who was a hacker. He suffered from extremely severe delusional disorder. Every day, he told me that he could inject his spirit into the Internet and swim in the vast ocean of code..."

Linda rolled her eyes. "You believe what a mentally ill person says?"

Leo continued, "At first, he was just wandering around in the virtual world on his own. Later, after a period of treatment, the two of us could finally go in and play together."

Linda: "???"

"I'm dying of laughter. So it was actually you who was 'treated'!"

"I said this guy must be a bit crazy. Could he have been infected after staying with a mentally ill person for too long?"

"Haven't you read his profile? Leo must be joking. He's treated thousands of patients with severe mental illnesses!"

"I was also a medical student back then. Although I'm not majoring in psychology, the name 'The Angel of Oblivion' is really famous in the field of psychology!"

...

"What happened later?"

"Later, I was the only one left in there."

"Why?"

"Because I cured his delusional disorder."

Linda rolled her eyes. "So are you saying that you also have delusional disorder?"

Leo successfully logged into the Black Sea and snapped his fingers!

"Delusional disorder?"

"No, this isn't delusional disorder."

"I can really communicate with the data with my spirit."

Hearing this, Linda burst out laughing. She just thought Leo was teasing her and didn't think much of it. But if Linda had walked to the front of the computer, she would have been horrified to find that... Leo's computer didn't have any program open at all! And the keyboard cable wasn't even plugged into the computer.

"I've found it," Leo squinted his eyes and stared intently at the computer screen. The light and shadow cast some shadows on his face.

"Chen Qiong's mother had a dispute with the homeroom teacher of Class 8, Grade 1 in Shishan School. There was an accident, and she fell from the corridor on the third floor. Despite rescue efforts, she died on August 13, 3032.

"Cause of death: Severe damage to brain tissue.

"A week later, Chen Qiong sneaked into the school, held a kitchen knife, and split his homeroom teacher Liang Ming's head in half with one strike, then escaped from the school.

"Since then, Chen Qiong has completely disappeared from the face of the earth... And the teachers and students in Shishan High School also began to go missing mysteriously one after another within a month, with no one spared...

"During this period, City A dispatched a large number of police officers to search Shishan High School, but they found nothing..."

Leo's narration left Linda in a daze. "August 13, 3032... A week later is August 20, and a month later is... September 20, 3032!

"Isn't that... the day when our main mission ends?"

Linda suddenly woke up as if she had discovered an important clue! During the day, she saw an electronic calendar under the large wall clock in the classroom. The date marked on it was exactly 3032!

That is to say...

They had returned to... the timeline of the past!

They had returned to the last seven days when the curse occurred!

"No wonder... No wonder the seat arrangements in that class register... only went up to September 19!

"Leo, your speculation is right!

"On September 20, everyone... will die!"
