Chapter 425: Chapter 76_6*But if the faceless person just now was also a Chang ghost, then how terrifying must the one controlling her be?* *Why would something of this caliber exist in the school?* "Xiao Yuan, are you okay?" Tan Wenbin asked with concern. Yin Meng also crouched nearby. Although Run Sheng was still pinned to the wall, no one was looking at him now. *It wasn’t heartlessness, but they feared that if they split up, that thing might return and attack Xiao Yuan.* Li Zhiyuan shook his head, "Go check on Run Sheng, she’s about to fall apart, she won’t come back." "Alright." Yin Meng immediately stood up and ran towards Run Sheng. Run Sheng grasped the steel rod piercing through his shoulder with his left hand, continuously drawing sharp breaths. His pale face showed that he had already exhausted most of his strength during the previous fight. In fact, Li Zhiyuan managed to launch a successful attack, almost controlling that Corpse, because Run Sheng had severely injured it beforehand. "What should we do?" Yin Meng asked. "Support me...out." "Are you sure?" "Yes...not a vital spot." Tan Wenbin also ran over to help at this time. The two of them lifted Run Sheng’s body, supporting him on either side, while Run Sheng grasped the steel rod with one hand, moving forward bit by bit. It was equivalent to retracing the process of being pierced by the rod. Finally, once free from the constraint, Run Sheng fell to his knees with a "thud," his mouth opened, taking in big gulps of air. Fortunately, the wound was not in a vital area; any deeper and it would have been a terrifying fatal injury. This was the first time Run Sheng had been in such a sorry state. Looking at it from another angle, only someone like Run Sheng could survive a fight with that faceless person; anyone else—be it Yin Meng or Tan Wenbin—would have surely been dead by now. Li Zhiyuan walked over. Although he had wiped it off, bloodstains still lingered at the corners of his eyes. Run Sheng saw the boy’s shoes and made an effort to lift his head, looking at the boy’s face, especially his gaze. "Xiao Yuan...I...was wrong..." *Even the fiercest beasts, after long periods of comfort, would gradually be dulled, losing their former ruthlessness and decisiveness.* Searᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. *No one can stay constantly tense, always making the best and most appropriate choice; even a knife needs to be sharpened every now and then.* Li Zhiyuan’s eyes revealed a caring emotion, "Brother Runsheng, are you alright?" Run Sheng nodded briefly, "I’m fine...just a small wound." Li Zhiyuan knew Run Sheng wasn’t just trying to show off; he seemed to recover quickly each time, as long as it wasn’t a fatal injury. "Binbin, take Run Sheng to the school’s medical office, just say he accidentally fell onto a steel rod during renovations." "Okay." Unlike the high school infirmary, which could only provide some cold medicine, the university’s medical office was more like a small hospital, with doctors on duty even at night. At this moment, Tan Wenbin’s developed biceps proved useful; an average person wouldn’t be able to handle someone of Run Sheng’s size. Yin Meng intended to go with them, but since Xiao Yuan didn’t mention her, she stayed behind. As the two returned downstairs, since that thing had left, the shop lights returned to normal brightness. Although it was still raining outside, the curtain of rain at the doorframe had disappeared. Li Zhiyuan walked to the counter. He noticed the subtle movement at Aunt Sun’s earlobe, very slight, but enough to catch the attention of someone skilled in observation. *Her previous fainting wasn’t feigned, but her current sleep was definitely fake.* Li Zhiyuan realized she had a problem, unrelated to the past two days of contact, when she seemed normal. *Everything traced back to her posture when the three entered and she fainted.* If she were sprawled on the floor or bleeding out on the verge of death, even trembling under Run Sheng’s protection upstairs, that would be normal. The most abnormal was her current position, leaning on the counter, like taking a nap during work breaks. *Why would such a fierce Corpse be so gentle with you?* *Moreover, you’ve been at the store all day. If something were to happen, it would have happened earlier, not conveniently when Run Sheng and the others returned.* *Though this logic seemed cold, belonging to a guilty presumption, Aunt Sun’s unharmed condition was the biggest issue.* Especially now, pretending to be unconscious. *She wasn’t likely the perpetrator nor the controller, but the faceless Corpse must be related to her!* While Yin Meng was competent in her Corpse Recovery skills, she was inevitably slow in other areas. At this point, she was still thinking of stepping forward and waking Aunt Sun. Li Zhiyuan raised his hand, stopping Yin Meng’s movements. Then, the youth reached out and seized the Yellow River Shovel in Yin Meng’s hand; she immediately released her grip, handing it over to him. Li Zhiyuan raised the Yellow River Shovel, striking it down onto the counter! "Bang!" "Ah!" The glass on the counter shattered. Aunt Sun let out a scream, instantly lifted her head, and fell to the floor, her hands supporting herself, but scraping against the glass shards and gasping continuously. Yin Meng’s eyes flashed with anger as she finally realized the other was faking unconsciousness. The thought that Run Sheng stayed because of her filled Yin Meng with rage, clenching her fists tightly. Aunt Sun first looked at Yin Meng, then at the boy holding the shovel approaching her step by step. The boy’s shoes crunched on the broken glass, making a "crack, crack" sound, yet his face wore a warm smile, just like during their encounters over the past two days. He was always sensible and polite. Li Zhiyuan leaned on the Yellow River Shovel and squatted down, looking at Aunt Sun, asking in the most gentle voice the coldest question: "Truth or consequence?"
