Dan Chen's eyes suddenly lit up.
He didn't bother to think about how Wu Suowei had penetrated the alternate dimension.
In any case, help had arrived!
Within a 10-meter radius of Wu Suowei, no ghost-faced monsters dared to step in, forming a bizarre 'safe zone.'
Sun Xiaoxiao, who had just run out of the classroom, was overjoyed. She didn't expect the school's newly hired temporary security guard to be so formidable. She decisively rushed towards Wu Suowei, almost clinging to his leg.
Qin Ze, with sharp eyes, immediately shouted, "Everyone, quickly go to the security guard!"
The students scrambled towards Wu Suowei, gathering within his safe zone, finally escaping the terrifying attacks of the ghost-faced monsters.
Everyone was bruised and panting, but none dared to let down their guard.
"Get out, Sun Xiaoxiao, you're taking up space!" a student standing at the edge of the safe zone tried to pull Sun Xiaoxiao out from within.
"No way!" Sun Xiaoxiao's chest clung tightly to Wu Suowei's arm, and at the same time, she mustered all her strength and kicked out, almost sending the student into the embrace of the ghost-faced monsters.
Fortunately, Qin Ze pulled the student back, narrowly saving him from danger. However, this incident thoroughly frightened everyone.
"You've come at the right time," Dan Chen said to Wu Suowei.
"Go ahead and fight," Wu Suowei said, shielding the students behind him with a slight smile.
Dan Chen nodded.
Seeing that the students were temporarily safe, his anxious heart calmed down. He then stared intently and resolutely at the sea monster before him.
"Gao Lele" let out an exaggerated maniacal laugh. "It's useless to struggle. Just obediently offer your heart."
Mi Xue'er quickly realized that she had become a burden to Dan Chen. Because the enemy possessed dozens of tentacles, he had to divide his attention to protect her while attacking and defending.
"I'm sorry... Brother Dan Chen, it's all because you're protecting me!"
"No need to apologize. It's my duty to protect the people, and besides, I took money from your mother."
Mi Xue'er decided to rejoin the other students. Without her, Dan Chen could fight with all his might.
However, the corridor behind her had already become a terrifying purgatory, which was too gruesome for an ordinary underage girl.
"I'll run now!"
Mi Xue'er touched the hilt pendant on her chest, as if seeking courage, and muttered to herself, "Dad, you will bless me, right..."
The hilt seemed to emit a faint spiritual light, responding to the girl's plea.
Then, the girl scrambled to her feet and ran with determined eyes.
She absolutely couldn't be Brother Dan Chen's burden anymore!
Mi Xue'er, with the conviction of facing death, sprinted towards the classroom.
Dan Chen curved his lips into a ferocious smile. "Such a good child."
Bang!
With no burden behind him, Dan Chen stomped his foot and charged forward, kicking the sea monster back into the toilet and slamming the door shut behind it.
10 seconds.
This was the time limit Dan Chen set for himself.
He would unleash his full power for 10 seconds, eliminate these two sea monsters, and then return to kill Teacher Liu.
Meanwhile, "Gao Lele" showed a disdainful expression, finding Dan Chen's suicidal charge perplexing.
"Oh~ this guy seems to really like your body."
"Don't worry~ I definitely won't waste your handsome face. After eating your heart, it can transform into your appearance and partner with me~" "Gao Lele" said, stroking the octopus sea monster.
"Heh, I'm truly sorry, but I don't want a partner like you."
"Gao Lele" burst into manic laughter, his face contorted. "Hahaha, do you really think a mere human can escape us with twelve tentacles? In such a confined space, you have nowhere to hide. This is the end of you!"
Dan Chen lowered his gaze, lit a cigarette, and muttered to himself:
"Nowhere to hide? I can see the near future."
Amidst the smoke, Dan Chen raised his head. His pupils flickered, the corners of his mouth upturned, revealing a mad, eerie grin.
In the cramped space, dozens of tentacles lunged at Dan Chen. At this moment, Dan Chen was almost engulfed by the tentacles; he had nowhere to escape!
Yet, he remained unhurried, fearless. Spiritual energy bloomed from his eyes.
"Sequence 008: Visual Analysis."
Swish—!
The scene in his eyes reconstructed itself, forming simpler, clearer lines.
[Visual Analysis] can predict the trajectory of all predetermined targets' actions within the next 2 seconds.
This ability consumed far more spiritual energy than mind-reading. His current record was maintaining it for 6 seconds.
But 6 seconds was enough.
Countless future attack routes constructed in his eyes were laid out. A single path, perfectly evading all the fatal tentacles, lit up, piercing through the layers of overlapping shadows like lightning.
This was the Path of Truth.
Dan Chen stepped onto it without hesitation.
Boom boom boom!
The hardened tentacles slammed onto the ground, creating waves of terrifying tremors. Dan Chen weaved through them, his hands slashing down in mid-air.
A streak of dazzling blade light flashed in the air.
Dan Chen's black gun transformed into a black long saber. The hilt was peculiar, and the blade was extremely sharp. With a single strike, it severed three tentacles.
The octopus sea monster let out a scream of pain, looking at Dan Chen in shock.
"Thousand Illusions Pandora - [Saber] Form." Dan Chen lunged towards "Gao Lele," leaving a pitch-black line in the air with the black saber.
"Gao Lele" was greatly alarmed. This guy wasn't an ordinary person! It shrieked and counterattacked, only to find that Dan Chen had disappeared?
Before it could react, a chill swept across its neck.
Swish—!
A head flew into the sky.
In just one exchange, "Gao Lele," who had transformed into human form, died under Dan Chen's blade.
"With no worries behind me, killing you is as easy as killing a fish." Dan Chen flicked the green blood off his blade, his fierce eyes turning towards the octopus sea monster.
Perhaps because its companion had died so swiftly, the octopus sea monster was stunned. It lunged towards the mirror, attempting to escape, but it had barely managed to extend one tentacle when Dan Chen's saber light descended.
Squelch!
The blade pierced the giant eye on its head and continued to slash downwards, splitting the octopus sea monster in two. Green blood splattered everywhere, and both sea monsters ceased to breathe.
Dan Chen glanced at the time. 9 seconds. Perfect.
He kicked open the toilet door and aimed his gun at Teacher Liu, who was attempting to attack Mi Xue'er.
Bang—!
Teacher Liu's pupils constricted. At the moment of imminent danger, he abruptly turned his head, and the bullet grazed his forehead, shattering.
Bang—!
Another shot. The bullet embedded itself in his shoulder, spraying a cloud of blood.
The gunshots caused the students to scream even louder. Mi Xue'er cowered, covering her head, and looked back, only to find Dan Chen walking out of the toilet completely unharmed.
In just a few seconds, he had eliminated those terrifying monsters??
Mi Xue'er looked at Dan Chen with near-adoration.
Wu Suowei simply smiled faintly. "Those weaklings were no match for him."
At this moment, Teacher Liu's desperation escalated. He grabbed two students who were on the outer edges and used them as shields.
"Aahhh, help! Let go of me! Help!"
"I don't want to die! Wuwuwu..." The two students struggled frantically.
Dan Chen frowned, unwilling to shoot recklessly.
"Shoot! You idiot! If you have the guts, kill these students too!" Teacher Liu sneered.
Dan Chen, holding his gun, approached cautiously, step by step.
"If you come any closer, I'll crush this guy's head!"
Dan Chen scoffed. "Fine, I won't come closer. Let them go."
"Octopus! What are you waiting for! If you don't come out soon, I'm going to die!" Teacher Liu suddenly yelled towards the toilet behind Dan Chen.
Dan Chen's pupils contracted. He felt a bad premonition.
He spun around quickly—
It was empty.
!! Damn it, it was a trap!!
