Chapter 1223: Chapter 829 Twisted_2 Chapter 1223: Chapter 829 Twisted_2 Yugong Lian stretched out his hand, pressing it against his forehead, clenching his teeth. Ever since that day when he had entered that bizarre place, he had been plagued by nightmares. Sometimes, Yugong Lian would dream he was in class, and after letting his mind wander for just a bit, when he looked back, he saw that all his classmates had turned into corpses.
Or while walking down the road, he would suddenly find the asphalt pavement had become a path paved with corpses, with the surrounding buildings transformed into eerie and terrifying structures made of skeletons and flesh.
These dreams were so vivid that Yugong Lian woke from his nightmares every day, exhausted in spirit.
He thought it was a reaction to having seen that strange world, but… it seemed like it was something else?
Anyway, he should still go to school.
With a sigh, Yugong Lian picked up his backpack and walked out the door of the coffee shop, heading towards school.
The whole way there he was groggy, the clamorous noise of the students around him was like a chainsaw weighing heavily on Yugong Lian's brain. He always felt like, amidst the noisy chatter, there was a faint voice calling his name. But when he turned to look around, everything was normal again… huh?
Arriving at the school gates, Yugong Lian looked up again, only to be startled — in front of him was not the familiar school, but a dilapidated ruin!
The ground was composed of stark white bones, countless corpses congealed into a wall of flesh and blood. And those congealed corpses were now lifting their heads, staring at him with those dark empty sockets devoid of eyeballs!
Yugong Lian took an instinctive step backward. When he came to his senses and looked forward again, the eerie, terrifying world had reverted back to the familiar school.
What was that just now?
Just an illusion?
Pushing aside his thoughts, Yugong Lian shook his head and continued into the school.
However, as soon as he opened the classroom door, he heard the roar of Sakamoto Ryuji.
“What did you say?!”
Upon hearing this voice, Yugong Lian jumped. He looked up, only to see Sakamoto Ryuji clenching his fists, yelling at Takemaki Ann.
“I said, it's about time for you to graduate from your juvenile games! What's the point of lashing out at others every day!”
Takemaki Ann, however, clearly didn't care about Sakamoto Ryuji's fury and just glared angrily back at him.
“When people are just chatting in class, you have to meddle. Do you want to control everything now?”
“I just don't want to hear them talk bad about the Gang of Thieves!”
“What other people think is their business, you don't even let them speak. How are you any different from Kamoshida?”
“What did you say!!”
Hearing that, Sakamoto Ryuji's eyes flared red. He reached out and grabbed Takemaki Ann's neck, lifting her up.
“Say that again! I'm not like that bastard!”
“Ugh–ah…!!!”
Takemaki Ann certainly hadn't expected Sakamoto Ryuji to actually resort to violence, and in that moment, she struggled desperately, while the onlookers were shocked into silence, uncertain of what to do.
“Hey, Ryuji!”
Fortunately, Yugong Lian didn't freeze up. Rushing forward, he pressed down on Sakamoto Ryuji's hand. And Ryuji turned, glaring furiously.
“What do you want? Do you want me to kill you too?!”
Sakamoto Ryuji looked as if he had lost his mind, his eyes bloodshot, his expression terrifying. Witnessing this, Yugong Lian himself was shocked, then clenched his teeth and swung a punch at Sakamoto Ryuji's face!
“Bang!”
Sakamoto Ryuji was knocked to the ground by Yugong Lian, and Takemaki Ann fell seated on the floor.
“Are you okay?”
“Cough cough, cough… I'm fine.”
Responding to Yugong Lian's question, Takemaki Ann coughed a few times, touching her neck and looking at Sakamoto Ryuji in disbelief.
“What's wrong with him?”
“I… I–”
Now Sakamoto Ryuji too had come to his senses, his astonishment apparent as he stared at the seated Takemaki Ann, speechless.
And then the others also came around.
“Quick, go get a teacher!”
What happened after doesn't need to be stated.
The school reprimanded Sakamoto Ryuji and handed him a suspension. That wasn't surprising–after all, he nearly committed murder in broad daylight in class. It was already good that he wasn't expelled outright.
“Sorry…”
After school, Yugong Lian found Sakamoto Ryuji, who was downcast.
“What happened to you? I know you have a temper, but to resort to violence like that…”
“I… I don't know.”
Faced with Yugong Lian's question, Sakamoto Ryuji shook his head confusedly.
“I haven't been able to sleep well lately, and I keep feeling like someone is whispering in my ear, but when I try to find the source, I can't, and it just makes me more and more irritable… maybe I'm sick?”
“I don't think it's that, because I'm having the same issues.”
“Really? You too?”
“Yes, and sometimes when I look at things, my vision gets blurry, as if those things aren't what they seem…”
