In a hurry, I straightened up and wanted to jump out of the bushes. Xiao Zhen grabbed me with a quick hand, and forced me down again.

"You're crazy too? Is that knife fake? He's a madman! She suppressed her anger and scolded in a low voice.

I looked at the shiny knife and was speechless for a moment, so I continued to hide behind the bushes and watch nervously.

As soon as the crazy old man stepped into the hall, a person ran from the direction of the classroom, it was the teacher Lu, he was holding a thick wooden stick in his hand, his steps were heavy, and the sweat on his face was dripping continuously. The two confronted each other at both ends of the hall for a while, and Mr. Lu slowly approached the corridor, gradually moving to the entrance of the corridor, blocking the road to the office. The mad old man gasped, his eyes became more and more terrifying, and he suddenly beat his chest with one hand, and there was a look of dying despair in his eyes. Teacher Lu seemed a little overwhelmed, and the wooden stick he was holding unconsciously drooped down. The crazy old man rushed over at once, with a hideous expression, raised the watermelon knife high and slashed it down.

I couldn't help but let out a low exclamation, and in the midst of the exclamation, I heard only a dull sound, and the watermelon knife slashed into the wooden stick that was in the way. The two of them seemed to be wrestling, one gritted his teeth and pushed forward, and the other blocked with his muscles exposed.

Want to help? I was hesitant.

Just as I hesitated, the two stalemate men suddenly flew out and fell to the floor of the hall in a dull manner, and the sticks and watermelon knives fell, but they were all torn apart, as if broken by a great force.

Jane and I stared at the entrance of the hallway in amazement. There was a large dark shadow moving slowly. The pitch-black color, the strange smell of death, made our hearts tighten for a while.

“…… Is that...... Be...... High School and High School Principals! Jane's voice was hoarse and trembling.

Principal Gao walked out of the hallway. His face was expressionless, and from top to bottom he was no different from his usual life, except for ...... His shadow! The large black shadow moved with his body, and with each step, the shadow became a little bigger and a little blacker. When he reached the hall, the shadow behind him slowly stood upright, like a huge pillar, as if it were alive.

Is this Principal Gao? Or...... What other youkai is it?

"Lao Xu, why did you come here?" Principal Gao turned his face and said to the crazy old man who had fallen to the ground.

“…… Kill...... Kill ......" The crazy old man heard this, and with great difficulty half bent up, to grab the blade that had fallen aside.

"Headmaster, you, your shadow ......" Not far away lay Teacher Lu, who was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and he pointed to the huge pillar-like black shadow in horror.

Principal Gao smiled faintly and said in a normal tone, "It's bigger, does it scare you?" As he spoke, his gaze flickered sharply at the bushes where we were hiding.

The heart, beating uncontrollably and violently!

Principal Gao's gaze is like a sharp knife, which can pierce into people's hearts at once.

Our bodies couldn't be lowered, and a panic of not knowing what to do was spontaneously born.

"Do you want to know why?" Principal Gao's voice was flat and undulating.

"If you want to know, you don't have to hide. Come out! His tone suddenly rose upward, smug and slightly cruel.

I turned my head to make eye contact with Jane, and then the two of us stood up silently, stepped over the bushes, and walked up the steps to the hall.

The entire office building, along with the teaching building in front of it, was dead silent.

"Huh! Actually, it's not complicated at all, and the reason is - I'm a shadow! Principal Gao said to us in a condescending tone with his hands behind his back, his chin raised.

Except for the crazy old man, who was still struggling to grasp the blade in vain, we all looked at Principal Gao blankly.

Is he a shadow? Whose shadow is he? And what is the pillar-like shadow behind him?

"I am the shadow of the master. My master decides my actions! Principal Gao said coldly, "He needs something." ”

"What's that?" I asked.

"The spirit stone around your neck!" He smiled.

I unconsciously took a step back: "It's a spirit stone again!" …… What's the use of him asking for spirit stones? ”

"You've always been a smart student, how could you ask such a stupid question?" Principal Gao restrained his smile and paced towards me, "If the spirit stone is not of great benefit to us aliens, who will fight desperately?" ”

"But this thing is going to get out of hand at some point, isn't it...... Can you handle it? I forced my composure.

"Harness? Hehe, as long as it has power, and doesn't want the curse attached to it, naturally you don't have to worry about how to control it! Principal Gao's voice became gentle, with a vague sense of déjà vu.

"What curse?" This was the first time I had heard this, and I was amazed.

"Soul Contract!" It's a simple four words, but the lethality is not small. He had paced not far from me, while the huge black shadow behind him stopped in place, and after hearing this, the black shadow writhed a few times in a strange way.

I was silent.

“…… Oh, so how can you avoid the curse and gain great power? Xiao Zhen asked suddenly.

She blinked curiously, her long eyelashes fluttered, and her expression looked childish and innocent.

"Of course...... Watch the fire from the other side and borrow a knife to kill! The corners of his mouth grinned to the sides, and a teasing smile suddenly appeared on his serious face, which looked very awkward.

Seeing that I was still silent, he added meaningfully, "It is as if when you pray, when you sacrifice, you have to offer a suitable sacrifice." As long as the timing is right and the sacrifices are used well, powerful power is naturally at your fingertips! ”

"Who is the sacrifice?" I asked.

"Too much! Ding Zhongheng, Ye Xiaoyun, Wang Kai, Shu Fangfang, Fang Yuheng......" He counted the dead names, and then sneered at me, "Oh, there are ...... You! The current owner of the spirit stone or the contractor of the contract, the end of sacrifice seems to be inevitable! ”

I smiled wryly, feeling as if I had really become a fat white pig, ready to be slaughtered and dedicated to the great cause of sacrifice.

"Why hasn't your master shown up yet, if you're going to offer a sacrifice?" Xiao Zhen's big eyes were rolling around, pretending to ask casually.

"Master? Hehe, you guys, crazy crazy, stupid stupid, do you still need the master to bother more? He regained his serious expression, his eyes full of contempt as he stared at us.

As if to confirm his words, the crazy old man, who had been half-lying on the ground and grasping the blade, suddenly jumped up. The corners of his mouth were foaming with blood, and the clothes on both sides were dripping with blood, and he looked even crazier.

"Devil, I'm going to kill you!" He howled and rushed over, blood streaming from his hands, each clutching a long broken blade.

As soon as he moved, the huge black shadow also flickered, and in the blink of an eye, it was attached to the back of Principal Gao. The tip of it swayed from side to side a few times, and it felt like it was ...... Laugh at us.

Before I could show my surprise on my face, I saw the mad old man leap forward, waving his blade and slashing at ...... Precious!

Caught off guard, Jane had to turn around and dodge to the side, but the sharp blade still left two deep cuts in her shoulders.

Then, under my stunned gaze, Jane gritted her teeth and clutched her shoulders, and ran out of the hall, where the mad old man muttered "devil" in his throat and waved his bloody blade in his relentless pursuit.

I'm a little confused.

I subconsciously stepped out of my feet, wanting to help Jane.

A pair of warm and firm hands took me.

I tilted my head, and Changqing didn't know when he came. At this moment, he stood quietly beside me, his eyes solemn, looking at Principal Gao and the dark shadow behind him.

I wanted to ask, but I didn't know what to ask.

Fortunately, someone answered me with action.

Principal Gao glanced at Chang Qing with a serious expression, and suddenly smiled. This smile is very pure, and it doesn't seem to have any superfluous meaning.

While Chang Qing and I were pondering the meaning of this laugh, Principal Gao decisively fell backwards, and behind him, the black shadow became sparkling, and his tall body was like a lump of dirt, which quickly melted into the water, leaving nothing left. The black shadow undulated, slowly contracting, as if it was very long, but in fact it was only for a moment, and it became smaller. It's as big as the body that has just been abled, and the limbs are distinct, but there are no facial features, and the whole thing is a thin layer.

Uh, that's Principal Gao'...... True colors? A shadow who doesn't know who it is!

"Who are you?" Chang Qing asked in a deep voice.

"Guess what!" The shadow still uses Principal Gao's voice.

"Humph! I don't believe you don't show your form! Evergreen whispered like a curse.

So he didn't stop for a moment, waving his hands together, and one after another talismans flew from his fingertips to the shadow. Well, I've never seen him use so many different kinds of talismans! One moment the purple air is fluttering, the next moment the yellow light is faint, the next moment is red, the next moment is green, and the next moment there is a golden light skyrocketing...... In the dazzle, I couldn't help but deeply doubt that the people who made these talismans were originally specialized in the production of fireworks?

"Hehehe......" A low laugh came from the shadow's head.

Evergreen's brilliant and colorful talismans hit the target without exception.

However, he forgot that what was in front of him was actually just another shadow that he didn't know if it was a man or a demon! When did you hear that the Shadow would be killed? Even if it is shattered into tens of thousands of pieces, as long as its owner still exists, it will be restored to an intact shadow!

I don't even have facial features, but I feel like it can read through my heart and know what I'm thinking. I don't know if it's laughing at my crankiness, or if it's laughing at evergreen's futility?

At this time, Xiao Zhen, who had already run out of the hall, screamed in horror, and actually ignored the blade flashing cold light behind her, turned around suddenly, slammed away the crazy old man, and ran back.

"Xiao Zhen......" The rest of the words were all frozen in her throat at once.

Outside the hall, three bodies appeared that weren't supposed to be in the sun!

Yes - Ye Xiaoyun, Wang Kai and Shu Fangfang!

Their hair was covered in a layer of frost, and at this moment a faint white gas was curling up. The three blood-red streaked faces were expressionless.

In stark contrast to them, it was almost noon, the wind was sunny outside, the sky was clear, and it was a warm and sunny day.

I shivered uncontrollably. The cold in them, the cold that hovers over them is more terrible than death, as if it freezes everything.

Xiao Zhen clutched her injured shoulder, her face was gloomy, and her eyes showed a look of fear.

"It's them! …… What to do? Jane asked me as if she was asking for help.

"Ahh …… Oh, my God! They ...... "Teacher Lu, who slowly approached us, couldn't help but be terrified after seeing the faces of those bodies that appeared outside the hall.

A very reluctant wry smile tugged at the corners of my mouth.

Only the mad old man was unaffected. When he saw someone blocking the way, he didn't care about 3721, and he swung his blade and stabbed it. The sharp blade pierced into the stiff body, and the mad old man's hands flowed more blood, but the one who was pierced did not react.

The crazy old man pulled out the blade with all his might, and stabbed it several times in one breath. There was a crunch sound, and the blade broke! He glared angrily at the three "living corpses" in front of him, and their empty eyes also stared coldly, without a trace of life.

"What a hard stone! I'm going to get a hammer! The crazy old man muttered and turned around, and suddenly he saw Xiao Zhen again, and immediately screamed, "Devil! …… Kill...... Kill! ”

Then, holding the little blade he had, he pounced on Jane once more. Jane ducked behind me all of a sudden, and when I saw the blade piercing, I instinctively raised my hand to block it. A dark light flashed, and the mad old man was thrown out like an electric shock, and landed heavily on the steps of the hall.

He was knocked out of his head, covered in blood, and lay there waving his arms at Xiao Zhen and screaming, "Devil! Devil! ”

I felt a chill on my wrist. A string of round beads silently clings to the skin, exuding a dark and mysterious light.

I took a breath and stroked it gently, and Yun Tengjiao's face unexpectedly appeared in front of me. In a trance, I saw him looking at me with a smile, and his lips moved: "...... The play is exciting, right? Don't worry, take your time. A good audience needs to have enough ...... Patience! ”

I opened my mouth wide in astonishment.

A screeching sound of brakes, followed by the sound of the car door opening, accompanied by a jumble of footsteps, came from the school gate.

At this juncture, could it be that the police uncles rushed to hear the news? I knew it wouldn't help, but my spirits were lifted.

I looked up, and eight or nine young men with big shoulders and round waists, and strong men rushed in, some of them holding thick ropes, some carrying large sticks, all with a fierce look. Sky! This is not the police! …… Could it be an underworld organization?

"It's from Guangji Hospital." Teacher Lu probably saw my confusion, and moved to the entrance of the hall with difficulty and said, "I...... I just called. ”

Psychiatric hospital?! I looked at the three nightmarish faces outside the steps, then looked back at Changqing, who was still stubbornly casting talismans, shook my head and said with a wry smile, "I'm afraid it's useless!" ”

"Now, left and right are like madmen, let's be a dead horse as a live horse doctor!" Teacher Lu looked around and smiled bitterly.

Seeing those people getting closer and closer, and I could see my eyebrows and eyes clearly, my heart pounded, and ominous premonitions sprung up like mushrooms after the rain.

The beads on his wrist tightened.

I lowered my head, and it was dark in front of me, and it felt as if something foreign had jumped into my eyes. I rubbed it vigorously with my hands, but nothing came out but tears. But the strange thing is that it is still very dark in front of me, and the sound of the sudden wind is ringing in my ears.

A thunderclap resounded through the sky!

Standard Sunny Day Thunderbolt! A moment ago, it was a sunny and cloudless weather, but in the blink of an eye, a large piece of thick and chilling black clouds accumulated over the school, and in the middle of the black clouds, I don't know what it was, was undulating and churning.

The people outside the hall all stopped, staring at the sky with some trepidation.

I'm looking, too, but I'm looking at them on the side of the steps. They all raised their faces, and a cheerful smile bloomed on their white faces. Slightly wriggling, blood-red streaks squeezed past the sides of the face, turning into two piles of red bugs that overlapped each other.

I gasped.

A white hand came from behind his back.

In a trance, that hand grew a layer of snow-white slender fluff; Then the fingers became sharp, bent, and shimmered.

My heart trembled, and I didn't even dare to turn my head back.

"What's that? …… It's a dragon...... Dragon? The people outside the hall pointed to the sky in horror and shouted.

Indeed, the things churning in the clouds, with wind and thunder on their bodies, and their cyan scales and claws looming, like the legendary dragon.

"Hehehe...... The host is coming! The shadow, which had no facial features, waved its paper-like arms and laughed excitedly.

Electric light tears through the sky!

The bright claws, the shadow of the wild laughter, the cold living corpse, and the "dragon" scurrying in the black clouds, cough, what a picture of the demons dancing!
