Xiao Lan kept quiet and waited for a while, after confirming that Mrs. Hongyue had gone far away and should not be coming back for a short time, he quietly approached the direction of the corpse and observed the corpse by the moonlight.

The corpse on the ground should be an adult male in terms of size.

He looked miserable, spread limply, lying in a pool of blood. The skin on the surface of the body has been completely peeled off, and the red muscles are exposed to the air, giving off a bloody smell.

The fatal wound should have come from the deep incision in the throat, which almost cut off his neck, as evidenced by the large bloodstains on the ground.

Madam Hongyue looked like an elegant lady, but her attack was sharp and cruel.

Xiao Lan saw a familiar emblem among the pieces of clothing mixed in a pool of blood.

He had also seen this badge on Luo's chest, and it represented the status of a teacher at Cliff College.

Although the corpse lost its skin, making it impossible to see his face clearly, Xiao Lan remembered that one of the players became a teacher like Luo, and did not become a teenager like the player who became a student. The corpses are indeed similar.

Will it be the player who died?

According to the rumors of the students, Mrs. Hongyue likes to kill good-looking people, and then use the other person's skin to make herself more beautiful.

But Xiao Lan clearly remembered that the player who became a teacher looked ordinary in appearance, at the level of an ordinary adult man, and even with a shaggy beard, he seemed uninspired. This appearance doesn't seem to have anything to do with the word "beauty"?

This is not as rumored.

Is it because the rumors are wrong, or Madam Hongyue's aesthetics are different from ordinary people, and she likes the unshaven type?

After examining the corpse, Xiao Lan carefully removed the traces she left and left.

This time, he did not help the other party to collect the body, because it is not clear what the relationship between the academy and Mrs. Hongyue is. Once something is left on the body, if the person who handles the body finds it, it will reveal that someone has seen the body. thing.

As a student on duty at night, Xiao Lan will definitely be the first to be noticed, and there will be many more dangers by then.

The mutual help between players is based on the bottom line that they will not bring danger to themselves.

Xiao Lan also did not have the feeling of giving up his life for the sake of a stranger's corpse.

——

Finally came to the auditorium.

The auditorium was dark, and it seemed that no one was left behind. The candles at the funeral had all been extinguished, and only the reddish moonlight outside the window served as illumination.

The door of the auditorium was locked, but for Xiao Lan, this was not an obstacle at all.

After quietly picking the door lock, he dodged into the auditorium.

The coffin was still placed as it was at the funeral, Xiao Lan easily approached the body, and this time he finally discovered what was wrong before.

He had seen reflections on the skin of the corpse before under the candlelight, which was not like the luster of human skin.

In fact, it is true. The skin of the corpse feels a strange feeling. It is like wax, and it is more flexible than wax. It is even somewhat elastic, but it is far less strong than leather.

For a while, couldn't tell what exactly this was made of.

Xiao Lan took out [this is a highly poisonous dagger] and gently cut a hole in the hidden position where the corpse was covered by the clothes. Because of the target's corpse, the power of the item would naturally not be activated.

The tip of the knife lifted the oddly textured epidermis, and he directly saw the muscle tissue inside.

No skin.

This corpse, like the one who was attacked by Mrs. Red Moon before, lost its skin.

Xiao Lan had previously guessed that Madam Hongyue's true identity might be the principal.

But why did the principal want to peel the skin and make a new skin for the deceased at the same time?

Don't want to attract attention.

But that's not right either. If you don't want to attract attention, wouldn't it be better not to hold a funeral?

Anyway, the students of Cliff College are children who are not under attention. As long as they are transferred or picked up by their parents, the students have no way to verify.

As for the parents, if they say that the child has escaped or disappeared, those irresponsible parents who throw the child over will feel relieved.

Obviously, people can disappear silently in this way, but they have to hold a funeral with great fanfare.

If Mrs. Hongyue is the principal, what is the reason for such contradictory behavior?

If the principal is not Mrs. Hongyue, what kind of existence is Mrs. Hongyue? What is her relationship with the principal?

The auditorium was silent, with only a little light from the red moon, covering everything in sight with a red veil.

Under the sympathetic goddess statue, Xiao Lan and the deceased who did not know were relatively speechless. Obviously, the student who could no longer speak could not tell him the answer.

——

leave the auditorium.

Xiao Lan walked towards the north of the academy, where the rumored monster was. According to the rumors of the students, the towers in the north housed two giant snakes that could learn how to speak.

However, judging from the real situation of Mrs. Hongyue, there may be some unrealistic situations in this rumor.

What attracted Xiao Lan was what Xili mentioned before. There was a little girl's voice saying, "Adeline is so scared." Since the key name that had been prompted appeared, he would definitely want to take a look.

On the way, he passed the garden he had glanced at earlier when he entered the school.

Xiao Lan was surprised to find that there were still people inside.

Do gardeners work so late? And on the notoriously unsafe night of the red moon?

What kind of selfless devotion to the society and animals is this? !

The reincarnated social animals will not fight like this.

It wasn't until he stepped in that he realized that these figures that looked like gardeners were actually statues. Their bodies were all cold and stiff stone, but they were wearing clothes and straw hats on their heads. At first glance, they looked like Just people.

Xiao Lan just breathed a sigh of relief, and out of the corner of his eye he saw a small shadow again, looking like a child.

This time there was no one else staring around, Xiao Lan quickly chased in the direction of the shadow.

The speed of the shadow is not very fast, even if Xiao Lan is now shrunk to fifteen years old, the speed is not as fast as in the heyday, and he can barely catch up.

However, it stopped shortly after.

Because after turning a few corners, there was a dead end in front of him.

The movement of the little figure also stopped. Its body looked blurry, almost just a vague human shape. It was translucent, and the specific outlines could not be clearly seen, and it was constantly twisting and changing.

The small figure raised its hand towards Xiao Lan, and there was a white thing on its hand, which seemed to want to give it to Xiao Lan.

But its figure suddenly blurred, just like an old TV with poor signal, and even the things on hand became unclear.

The next moment, the figure disappeared, and the things in his hand were not left.

Xiao Lan stepped forward to inspect the nearby ground, the floor, weeds, and flower beds. Everything was as usual, and there were no clues left, as if everything that had just appeared was just his illusion.

What the hell is that?

What does it want to give to Xiao Lan?

Xiao Lan stayed in place for a while, but the shadow did not appear again.

Looking at the red moon in the sky, he chose to leave here first and find the clues of the northern tower first.

——

Cliff College has four towers, of which the northernmost tower is the most remote, usually inaccessible, and students generally do not come to this area for their daily activities.

Usually, even the cleaning staff seldom come here. The ground and flower beds below the tower are full of weeds, and dead branches and fallen leaves are piled up at random, which looks very decadent.

Xiao Lan cautiously approached the tower.

He waited with bated breath, and after a while he heard the sound of "shasha", which indeed sounded like the movement of a scaly snake crawling on the ground.

The rustling lingered in the tower, mixed with childish voices of "Adeline...", "No...", "This way...".

The speech was intermittent and the content was incoherent, making it difficult to hear what was being said.

At present, it seems to be the same as the rumored situation.

Xiao Lan tried to get closer, he wanted to see what was inside the tower.

"Da da da"

As if a leisurely lady was strolling through her garden in the afternoon, the sound of footsteps came unhurriedly.

However, Xiao Lan's hair stood upright.

Because of this voice - not far behind him!

When did you come here? He obviously didn't hear anything just now!

Out of the corner of Xiao Lan's eyes, he caught a glimpse of a bright red.

He turned his head and saw a lady in a red dress with a black veil on her head slowly walking towards him under the pale red moonlight.

She is graceful and graceful in her manners, like a great lady who is about to invite you to dance with her.

A bloody dance that can only be experienced once in a lifetime.

After just one look, Xiao Lan immediately turned around and started running.

He didn't know whether Mrs. Hongyue was beautiful or not, but he knew that the other party ran super fast, and he didn't know how Mrs. Hongyue could still keep running at super high speed in high heels.

Maybe Wang Ke will know.

As the saying goes, stupid birds fly first.

If Mrs. Hongyue isn't running at full speed, she won't run away first, why don't you want to have a fair fight with her on the starting line?

Coming into the world never pays attention to the Olympic spirit.

Xiao Lan's figure disappeared in an instant and ran towards the overgrown area.

If he knew the speed of light, he would definitely not be Madam Hongyue's opponent now. So I specifically looked for those places with obstacles, and tried to use the obstacles to block Madam Luna's actions.

The sound of the high-heeled shoes behind him instantly accelerated.

At the same time, there was a sound similar to that of a sharp sword being unsheathed. She must have opened the folding fan full of sharp blades.

Thinking of the wound on the corpse where the neck was almost cut off, Xiao Lan didn't look back and ran faster.

Weeds and terrain full of obstacles did limit Mrs. Luna's speed, but she was still chasing the ground tightly, and the distance between the two could not be widened.

At the same time, the obstacles of the terrain are not only blocking Madam Hongyue alone. Xiao Lan is not familiar with these obstacles, and has almost stepped into the pit several times.

The two chased for a while, and Xiao Lan felt a little out of breath.

Even with skills that increased his fitness, his body at fifteen was still not very good in stamina.

Mrs. Hongyue behind her also seemed to be a little impatient.

She stretched out her slender hand as if she could only hold a teacup, grabbed the wall with her bare hands, and forcibly broke a brick off the wall.

Feeling the sound of breaking air coming towards his head, Xiao Lan hurriedly tilted his head, a brick about the size of his head rubbed his head, then whistled and continued to move forward, smashing deeply into the one in front of him. wall.

What the hell! What's with this horrible brute force? !

Do you still want your noble lady setting? ?

It was this dodge that caused Xiao Lan's movements to lag slightly.

A sharp fan had already hit his neck.

Xiao Lan took out the [Dalit Bone] with his backhand to block it. Although the [Dalit Bone] is bone, according to the principle, it is not as hard as metal, but rare items are so unreasonable.

At the moment of contact between the two parties, there was a collision sound like gold and iron clashing.

At this moment, the distance between the two has narrowed, and it is no longer easy to get rid of them.

Xiao Lan changed his strategy, switching the [Bone of Dalit] to the blade form, and slashed towards Madam Hongyue with one knife.

Madam Hongyue raised her fan to block and made a "ding" sound, then she turned the fan and waved the sharp blade at Xiao Lan again.

Xiao Lan sideways dodged the blow, and before the opponent retracted his hand, he swung a knife towards her arm.

The sharp blade cut through the blood-red dress, and Mrs. Hongyue was still torn a bit even when she dodged in time, and there was no blood flowing from the wound.

Mrs. Hongyue didn't care about such a small injury.

When she was attacking again, deep purple flames sprang from the wound on her arm. The flame of Dalit that burned everything has left a fire on her body, and the flame is spreading outward with this wound as the center.

Mrs. Hongyue tried to put out this unknown and strange flame, but found that ordinary fire extinguishing methods were useless.

Because the wound was really small, it had little effect on Mrs. Hongyue's actions. She ignored it and continued to attack Xiao Lan.

The quick and powerful attack made Xiao Lan a little difficult to fight against. A player who has always been known for his strength suddenly lost his habitual strength, which had a huge impact on him.

After a few exchanges between the two sides.

Madam Hongyue's head suddenly tilted to the side.

The tiny flames on her arms that were originally negligible have now spread to almost occupy half of her arms. If this continues, the fire is likely to continue to spread until it engulfs her.

Through the black veil, Xiao Lan could not see her expression at the moment.

Seeing that Mrs. Hongyue was faster than him, she just raised her hand—

Relentlessly, he tore off his own skin stained with flames.

The action was as simple as she was tearing off a mask.

After the skin is torn open, it is not muscle, but another layer of white and delicate skin. She threw away the burning skin in her hand, and the torn marks on the skin on her arms healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon there were no signs of torn.

Xiao Lan, who witnessed this operation, was shocked. Could this guy be a nesting doll?

Madam Hongyue had already come to Xiao Lan, she seemed to be provoked, and her attack became more and more violent.

Xiao Lan raised the knife to block the sharp blade swung towards his eyes. The violent attack made his wrist feel numb and numb. After his physical strength was suppressed, his combat power dropped significantly.

Xiao Lan panted heavily, staring at Madam Hongyue.

Compared with the decline in his side's state, the opponent's state is obviously still very good.

Continuing the battle will definitely be detrimental to his side. Moreover, the game did not mention that killing Mrs. Hongyue would be enough to clear the level, and fighting her to death would not benefit Xiao Lan.

But the current stalemate is not something he can do if he wants to get out.

Are you going to use skills now?

He stared at each other's movements closely, trying to find a flaw in it.

Suddenly, Xiao Lan stopped when she caught Mrs. Hongyue's movements, as if she had been pressed to pause.

At the same time, a black shadow flashed by, and Xiao Lan felt that he was being picked up and rushed forward at an extremely fast speed.

Luo's voice sounded in his ears: "You should seek my help, sir."

Although I wanted to give a thumbs up for Luo's timely appearance, Xiao Lan's posture at the moment made Xiao Lan a little embarrassed: "...Can you change the posture? For example, carrying it on your back?"

He had never experienced this feeling of being held in his arms. After all, the height difference between the two was not that big. If it wasn't for Xiao Lan being forced to shrink by the game this time, they might never have been able to unlock this pose.

Luo refused: "This is safer. I can't use your back to face danger."

As if to answer Luo's words, the hurried footsteps of Mrs. Hongyue from behind were already approaching here.

"Hold tight, sir." Luo's arm pressed hard again, hugging Xiao Lan firmly in his arms.

At the same time, he ran forward at full speed. Under his strong exploration, the obstacles on the ground seemed to him to be non-existent, and he left Mrs. Hongyue farther and farther behind.

Xiao Lan suddenly felt that she had unlocked Luo's new function.

Like a limited-edition humanoid mount or something...

Don't say it, it's pretty solid.
