Chapter 14: Trying to Escape
Before Liu Mingming rushed over to help, Chu Jiang considered healing Gao Yifei's wound, after all, he himself was able to recover from such a big hole in his chest.
However, whether it was because Chu Jiang had just gained new powers that he couldn't fully control, he struggled for a while but could only briefly stop the bleeding for Gao Yifei, unable to completely heal him.
There was no more time to try now, after calling for others to gather, Chu Jiang didn't plan on searching for anyone else.
Because the darkness at Luoxi No. 7 Middle School had grown even deeper, there probably weren't many survivors left in the school; once people died off, even more terrifying changes were likely to occur on campus.
Time was of the essence, not to mention there was a final boss waiting for them, who knew when they would be found.
Although Chu Jiang had gained some supernatural powers now, he was not confident enough to confront Slender Man head-on, as he was a true source of evil.
......
Chu Jiang rushed to Cheng Jie, who had lost consciousness, and patted her face, but she didn't respond.
So Chu Jiang forcefully pinched her arm, leaving bruises, but Cheng Jie still didn't wake up.
Chu Jiang had no choice but to princess-carry Cheng Jie. The main reason was that he had a backpack on his back, inside which was a completely black diary. Chu Jiang didn't dare let an ordinary person come into contact with the diary.
The four remaining people, including Liu Mingming, hurried towards the school wall closest to this place, not far from the boys' dormitory.
On the way, Chu Jiang asked about Li Yan's whereabouts.
Liu Mingming hesitated for a moment and, pale-faced, Gao Yifei briefly recounted what had happened after the two groups separated.
Chu Jiang sighed, feeling heavy and uncomfortable inside. In truth, even before arriving here and not seeing Li Yan's figure, he had already guessed the outcome.
It could only be said that Li Yan was indeed a brave person, but unfortunately, he couldn't hold on till the end.
......
Chu Jiang arrived near the wall smoothly, but there were four or five ghosts wandering here, so Chu Jiang put down Cheng Jie and asked everyone to wait.
After saying this, he rushed up and easily defeated all the ghosts with a few moves, leaving the two big men behind him stunned.
How did Chu Jiang become so vigorous after coming back to life?
Even Gao Yifei, who had seen Chu Jiang take down a ghost before, didn't expect him to effortlessly defeat four or five opponents. It seemed like he ignored ghost walls too?
Only Chu Jiang knew that after coming back to life, his body's functions had greatly increased, allowing him to keep up with the speed of his opponents. Combined with a skill to deal with enemies, it made things seem easy for him.
Before coming back to life, even if there were a hundred of him, it wouldn't be enough for him to handle these ghosts.
By the time Chu Jiang rushed back, Cheng Jie was already holding her head, struggling to open her eyes.
It seemed that when Chu Jiang put her down just now, her head accidentally hit something.
Chu Jiang let out a sigh of relief and pulled Cheng Jie up.
He originally thought that Cheng Jie would scream, but to his surprise, Cheng Jie just looked confused and then calmed down. She looked around and asked, "Is this the underworld?"
Chu Jiang forced a smile and didn't explain anything. He just handed this task over to someone else.
By the way, Chu Jiang also had Liu Mingming and Cheng Jie grab his left and right hands, respectively, and then he led the way towards the wall.
When the others had explained enough, they reached the wall. If it weren't for Chu Jiang's supernatural power, it wouldn't have been easy for them to reach the wall.
Without wasting any time, Chu Jiang climbed over the top of the wall.
Climbing up was easy, but when Chu Jiang wanted to get out, it wasn't so simple.
There seemed to be an invisible wall in front of him, and no matter how hard he bumped into it, he couldn't get out.
So Chu Jiang once again let his right palm start bleeding. He felt a little nervous, but he still firmly pressed his right hand against the wall!
This hand went out, and Chu Jiang was ready to attract Slender Man.
But not sure whether it was lucky or unlucky, Slender Man didn't come, but he couldn't leave either...
Yes, the Blood Handprint could not break through, this thing was like a barrier.
After repeated unsuccessful attempts, Chu Jiang's face looked very bad, he began to hit and smash forcefully, blood splattered, even making a "bang bang~" sound.
But the invisible wall in front seemed like an insurmountable obstacle, without any movement.
After a dozen tries, Chu Jiang decisively stopped.
He took something out of his backpack and tried it, then led everyone to retreat from the wall and ran far away.
Chu Jiang didn't lose his sanity. Since the Blood Handprint couldn't help him escape, staying here would only result in suicide.
Chu Jiang was relatively disappointed with this outcome.
After coming back to life, he felt that his Blood Handprint, since it could somewhat restrain other ghosts, might also be useful when facing the ghost wall and this barrier.
As a result of his personal attempt, he found that the ghost wall was easily broken through and even Slender Man's minions could be killed with a single blow.
However, when facing this boundary, the Blood Handprint was still defeated, partly due to his low level of control.
On the other hand, it must be said that Slender Man was too terrifying.
Even if he found himself in a state that seemed like being possessed by a ghost and had obtained the Blood Handprint, there were still differences between ghosts.
Compared to the ghost tree and Slender Man he had encountered before, it was clear that the power of the bloody hand ghost couldn't compare, at least not to the extent that Chu Jiang could fully utilize it.
As for who was stronger between the ghost tree and the current Chu Jiang, it was unknown. They had never directly collided, and Chu Jiang didn't want to confront it head-on either.
Finally, the original form of the black diary could actually pass through this barrier. Chu Jiang had just tested it.
So why did he retreat?
Because the diary completely ignored Chu Jiang, when Chu Jiang tried to squeeze his diary out, his hand couldn't go through the barrier. At most, he could only throw the diary out by itself.
This made Chu Jiang feel extremely frustrated. Earlier, on the way from the stone path to the boys' dormitory, he had flipped open the diary to take a look.
The dates and contents recorded in it hadn't changed, there was nothing like "everyone is dead, I am also the same."
This made Chu Jiang suspect that this diary still wanted him dead, but it couldn't do it directly. Otherwise, it would have already eaten him up.
Since the black diary was useless, what other methods were left?
Everything seemed to have reached a dead end.
He couldn't even write a single word on it, otherwise, Chu Jiang could write a message for help on the diary and throw it outside the school to seek assistance.
Now, there should be someone guarding outside the school. Chu Jiang couldn't believe that with such a big incident happening in the school, there would be no reaction outside.
Since there were ghosts in the world, hopefully there were people who could deal with them too, whether they were Taoist priests or Buddhist monks. Why don't you come into the school to save people?
