Mysterious as the wind, always with me.

Chapter 24 Losing san value

"Ouch!"

The Bison chick knelt in the corner on the spot, vomited, and threw out the lunch and even the breakfast that she didn't eat much.For a little flower who has never seen [Evil] and grew up in a greenhouse, the successive horrors are too exciting.

To be honest, Mark was scared too.

After seeing the negligent heart demon and Galian who turned into a chaotic monster, his horror threshold for inhuman existence has improved a lot.

Pressing his slightly trembling right hand with his left hand, after making sure that there were no other [abnormalities] around for the time being, Mark began to carefully observe the corpse.

The corpses left behind were eaten quite cleanly, as if there were hundreds of reptiles that were not small in size, eating all the meat at once.

In addition to the scarlet blood marks left on the bones, there were also many marks of being cut by sharp mouthparts.Even the relatively rigid humerus (the bone of the upper arm) is largely notched.

The discovery that made Mark's scalp tingle the most was that a large number of human footprints were found at the scene.

It feels like dozens of primitive people without shoes suddenly appeared densely next to the two victims, and then ate the victims with some kind of inhuman mouthparts.

These footprints appeared concentrated around the victim, but they had no background.

Messy footprints only exist within a radius of two meters around, and they cannot be seen outside, whether it is the ground or the ceiling.

You must know that even though the entire Mystery Academy is shrouded in clear mist, the ground is covered with debris and dead leaves. With so many footprints coming and going, it is impossible not to be discovered.

After lighting up the kerosene lamp and confirming his judgment again, Mark extinguished the lamp again.

Such a weird scene made the divine light in the eyes of Bison chick beating like the curve of her electrocardiogram.

Her voice was full of trills: "Have we... encountered any terrible [abnormalities]?"

"Yeah." Mark replied lightly.

For some reason, Mark's understatement gave Bison an unexpected sense of peace of mind.

Not because he is handsome, but because of his calmness.

As soon as Mark's answer fell, there was a strange chewing sound from the bathroom just now.

For a moment, Bison Chick wanted to flee in the opposite direction, but was held back by Mark.

"Wait!"

The girl Bison, who had no idea, suppressed the panic in her heart, and waited with Mark for dozens of seconds in a daze.

Soon, the strange voice disappeared.

Without hesitation, without hiding the sound of his footsteps, Mark strode over.

As soon as he entered the bathroom, his eyes were half-closed.

I guessed right, it really was a mess.

Once a future guardian knight, he was transferred to a headless horseman halfway, and now he has become a legless knight.

Even if everyone is leg control.

Leg control is different from leg control!

"Senior, let's go." Every muscle in Bai Sen's body trembled slightly with fear.

"How do I get there? There are ghosts of unknown origin outside the window. I think I will die as soon as I leave the school building."

"We... can we take the cable car?"

When a silly girl says what she says, you will wonder if she is not following her words (crow's mouth).

"crunch-"

A strange and deep voice came from afar.

Mark will not forget the voice.

cable car!

The main entrance of the college is for teachers and students who come by carriage.

Looking from the direction of the main entrance, you can't see the cable car.The cable car connects the west side of the Mistry University complex. In the huge cable car room, the school specially set up a side entrance.

The cable car will operate during non-class hours, and the frequency is most intensive in the morning, evening, and noon.

One of the biggest reasons is when the cable car is in operation, it is really noisy.

The lack of industrial technical strength makes the winch that stirs the cable car forward make a sharp sound when it is in operation.In the quiet environment, the voice could easily spread far away.

Mark and Byson glanced at each other, and immediately rushed to the corridor near the outer wall on the west side. Through the open window, they could clearly see that a cable car was going down the mountain along the cableway.

The three carriages moved quickly along the cables. From a distance, the flickering lights of several kerosene lanterns in the windows of the cable car looked like the constantly flashing signal lights on a night cruise ship.

What is different from usual times is that the surface of the cable car at this time is clinging to the surface of the black smoke visible to the naked eye.

These black flames are like sulfuric acid corroding the metal that fell into the transparent beaker, continuously eroding the outer shell of the cable car, and making an unpleasant "beep" sound.

Mark suddenly sighed: "They're done."

"What? No way!" Stupid girl's eyes were wide open. Less than 3 minutes ago, she was the one who proposed to take the cable car!

To put it another way, what happened to these fugitives at this moment was what happened to them in the past.

It seemed that something was wrong, and the screams of the fugitives above were heard from afar.

Soon, a golden phantom eye lit up above the carriage of one of the cable cars.

"Can you actually use [Eye of Light]? The strength is not bad!" Mark commented.

"Then..." Stupid girl showed joy on her face.

It's a pity that the appearance of the eyes of light certainly drove away some kind of evil force that corroded the carriage, but it also disturbed a certain terrifying existence lurking in the dark fog.

The fog around the cable car suddenly became thicker. The cable car was faintly visible a moment ago, and was wrapped by the thick fog a few times into the stuffing in the leaves of rice dumplings.

Not to mention the outline of the cable car, even the golden light of the Eye of Light has become extremely hazy in the dense fog.

Time flies by.

Chick Bison's heart was hanging in her throat.

Just a few seconds passed, maybe a little longer, and suddenly a cable car trembled violently, making a tooth-piercing sound of metal tearing.The eyes of light above the carriage flickered rapidly, and then went out completely with a "snap".

Barely visible, the kerosene lamps in the compartment were withdrawn to the second compartment.

With an inhuman and strange roar coming from the dense fog, the lights in the second car went out, and finally the third...

At the same time, there were faint screams.

Stupid girl tightly covered her mouth again, and leaned on Mark's chest almost instinctively, begging to get more warmth called 'hope' from her companion's body.

In less than three seconds, a large section of steel wire cable flew out of the dense fog, and under the action of gravity, it whipped on the moss-covered cliff, and there was a crisp "cracking" sound.

It was also a slap in the heart of the survivors.

After a while, I heard a faint explosion from the foot of the mountain.

It is entirely conceivable that the cable car has been disintegrated and completely destroyed.

From this moment on, all communications and traffic between the school and the outside world were completely cut off.

Looking out from the window, the fog in the distance spreads at a speed visible to the naked eye, and pieces of black-gray smoke are engulfing all the scenery beyond the horizon
The moonlight, which was barely able to provide illumination in the sky before, has long since disappeared.

"What shall we do?" Little Byson's teeth were chattering.

"Find out the core of [Anomaly]! Get rid of it..."

"What if we fail?"

"Then get killed by it!"

Mark shrugged and picked up the lantern, turned around and walked deep into the academy.

Bai Sen glanced out the window, stomped his feet, bit his lip, and hurriedly followed.

She didn't dare to tug on Mark's sleeve, for fear of affecting his movements, she only dared to gently tug on the back of Mark's student uniform jacket like a kindergarten child.

"..." Mark stopped and looked at her, but still gave up the plan of 'telling her to let go'.

He knew that this girl was probably useless, and she was just a little bit close to being equated with the pig teammate.It's just that his conscience doesn't allow him to sell his teammates casually.

"Miss Haruka, what fighting skills do you know?"

"I... I'm not good at fighting... I'm from the formation system."

Mark's eyes darkened.

In normal times, it's really not easy to offend those who engage in formations.

In team-level battles, most of the time there is nothing wrong with the formation master.Array mages often play miraculous effects in situations such as wars or long-term exploration.

They can amplify the magic power of magic masters such as elementalists, or use divine power to create a relatively safe enchanted space for teammates to rest, and they are also good at navigating the maze.

But in this weird environment where encounters are encountered at any time, the role of the formation master is definitely the worst.

Without trampling on Miss Byson's lack of self-confidence, Mark said in a teasing tone: "I'm from the mystery department."

[Scholar] of the mystery department can barely be regarded as a combat profession, but unfortunately, in the adventure team, it is also an absolute back-row profession.

To put it nicely, it is called decathlon, but to put it badly, it means not being good at everything.

A good [scholar] is far worse than an ignorant person, such as Ma, in terms of combat power.

After Mark finished speaking, perhaps because her chin was saved, this stupid girl was obsessed with Mark: "It's okay, I believe seniors are the strongest."

You idiot, don't say that.If you trust me so much, if the critical moment comes, I will feel guilty for betraying you.

Just after a brief mutual introduction, the two who came to the courtyard of the academy immediately heard new movements.

"Monster! Come out! Come out for me, let's fight to the death—" Accompanied by the hysterical roar and the continuous lighting of the fire, the male elementalist in a lounge stood out in the academy.

He had no companions by his side, and like a lunatic, he kept agitating the mysterious power in his body, releasing small elemental magic one by one.

The light and shadow flickered so intensely that even the two people who were still 50 meters away could clearly see it.

"He..." The Bison girl seemed to want to lean over, but was stopped by Mark, who quickly extinguished the kerosene lamp.

"Wait! Can you see his eyeballs?"

Bison was stunned for a moment, took out a gadget that looked like a telescope from his pocket, and was surprised to find that the elementalist's left eye was blood red, and he was dripping blood and tears.

Recalling being chased and killed by three out-of-control knight apprentices just now, the stupid girl was silent for a while before saying: "You have really good eyes."

Mark didn't answer, he was worried about another thing: the fog in the academy, wouldn't it make people lose their minds?
