Chapter 36 Super Hero Newcomer

Li Zhanyi had already foreseen what was about to happen.

After Lucy is knocked away, she will have a chance to knock off the physical arm.

After that, the blackboard-headed entity will immediately attack her with its other arm, but that will be enough for Lin Chen to finish her off.

However, Lin Chen's speed is unlikely to be faster than a physical object, so she will most likely get stabbed—the charged vest cannot defend against this kind of close-range attack that is relatively slow compared to bullets and is aimed at areas outside the coverage area.

Li Zhanyi also tried to think of solutions from other angles, such as taking the opportunity to retreat and cooperate with Lin Chen.

However, a problem arose:

She couldn't predict Lin Chen's fate...

Lin Chen is an unpredictable factor, so there's no way to figure out how to cooperate with him.

Li Zhanyi had no time to complain and could only carry out the orders quickly.

In that drawn-out moment, as the bloodstained ruler drew ever closer, a scar flashed through her mind...

It looks so painful...

"..."

Just as Li Zhanyi was waiting for the ruler to strike him...

"Click!"

A hand grabbed the wrist of the blackboard head.

"......!"

Li Zhanyi was stunned as he watched the blade hover just inches away.

The next second, she saw Lin Chen grab the creature by the neck and slam its head against the wall.

"Pfft!"

The solid blackboard head shattered, releasing a grayish-white light, and its body immediately went limp.

The ruler-shaped blade fell to the ground, its sharp edge embedded directly into the earth, and it was clearly frighteningly sharp.

It looks...it hurts so much...

"......"

Li Zhanyi looked at Lin Chen with lingering fear. At this moment, she seemed to see clearly some things she hadn't noticed before:

A faint blue light flickered in Lin Chen's eyes, and his arms were faintly covered with a layer of blue light, so thin that it could only be barely observed with the naked eye.

"Bang!"

Lin Chen fired another shot at the entity, letting the flames burn the body beneath it to ashes.

Having said that, he turned to look at Li Zhanyi and said softly:

"Are you alright?"

"No...it's nothing..."

"Could you call me next time?" Lin Chen sighed. "You're being too dangerous."

Danger... Danger? Li Zhanyi was stunned for a moment before realizing that he had actually been lectured by a newcomer.

This made her feel somewhat guilty, and she muttered to herself:

"It's because I couldn't predict what would happen to you..."

Lin Chen paused slightly before recalling this matter.

"Sorry, I forgot..." He scratched his head.

"It's not your fault, it's your first time after all," Li Zhanyi quickly shook his head.

Just then, a sound came from the other end of the corridor. The two turned around and saw Lucy walking over, clutching her stomach, her petite body swaying unsteadily.

"Merde! Doesn't anyone care about me?!" she cursed in French. "This thing is so complicated. I thought they were all small fry, but then a big one showed up."

"Could this thing be the core of another anomaly?" Li Zhanyi asked.

"It doesn't seem like it. It's probably a cyborg too," Lucy shook her head. "It's even more dangerous."

"Are you...are you alright?" Lin Chen asked, looking at Lucy who was panting heavily.

"It's nothing serious, but this charging vest can't just sit around doing nothing, can it?" She rubbed her stomach. "It really doesn't feel well... Don't just stand there, we need to hurry. This blackboard head can teleport directly through space, so the subspace lens isn't very useful anymore. Find the survivors, then evacuate!"

"it is good."

Lin Chen nodded and took the lead towards the classroom where he had previously observed people.

Li Zhanyi and Lucy exchanged a glance: Why is he so consciously taking the lead...?

"..."

Upon reaching the classroom door, Lin Chen immediately understood why the teachers and students inside were not leaving:

The door was locked.

"You're really late," a human mouth appeared on the giant U-shaped lock. "Answer five questions each time, and I'll clock you out if you get them right."

"The very first question is: for any compact simple gauge group G, prove the existence of a quantum Yang-Mills theory on four-dimensional Minkowski spacetime, and that its particles..."

"boom!"

Lin Chen fired a shot directly into the lock's mouth, then yanked it, throwing the whimpering, broken lock to the ground.

He opened the door, and a scream immediately erupted from the classroom: the students struggled to retreat to a corner of the classroom, where a teacher stood in front of them, arms outstretched.

"Don't panic, we're here to rescue you," Lin Chen said. "Um... how did I say it again?"

"Rain City Abnormal Investigation Bureau, Rapid Response Division 1," Li Zhanyi took out his badge from his coat and showed it to everyone in the classroom, "Everyone, you are safe now."

"I'm going to pick up the boys from Section Two." Lucy slung her light machine gun over her shoulder and headed for the stairs.

Upon seeing that it was investigators who broke down the door, the terrified students seemed to be calmed down immediately.

Li Zhanyi and Lin Chen walked to the teacher's side. As soon as they approached, the teacher sat down on the ground with a sigh of relief.

"Great, you've finally arrived..."

Lin Chen walked closer and saw that there was a deep wound on the teacher's arm, with blood still gushing out.

It was that abnormal entity that did it.

Upon seeing the teacher's wound, Li Zhanyi immediately took out a syringe, replaced the disposable syringe head, and then inserted a tube of red liquid into the liquid chamber.

She injected the syringe into the teacher's arm, and the gushing blood immediately congealed.

"This is a combat sustaining agent; it can stop bleeding, inhibit infection, and relieve pain," Li Zhanyi explained to Lin Chen. "Let's clean and bandage the wounds outside, teacher. What's the situation at the scene?"

"Yes...yes..."

The teacher wanted to speak, but her breathing was weak and her words were not very coherent.

She had appeared so upright and indomitable just moments before, protecting the students.

"Sister...sister, I can talk now."

A little girl wearing glasses stepped forward:

"At that time... the window suddenly went dark, and then, then a classmate fainted, and these monsters ran out of the shadows."

"The door was locked, and the teacher couldn't open it no matter how hard he tried. Then a blackboard-headed monster came in and kidnapped several students..."

"Has someone been arrested?"

Li Zhanyi and Lin Chen exchanged a glance. The latter was slightly taken aback and said softly:

Does this mean...that entity possesses intelligence?

"Of course, that guy even managed to evade the subspace lens's scan by teleporting," Li Zhanyi said seriously. "But under normal circumstances, anomalies below the Alpha level rarely possess intelligence. This situation means that someone is controlling the entity behind the scenes."

The manipulated entity, the abducted student.

"I had a guess earlier," Lin Chen said softly. "These entities seem to have been born from 'shadows' and 'fear,' like the electric fan, Lu Bu, and the teacher who just wanted to 'keep others on probation.' They all seem to represent someone's fear."

“Indeed, that makes sense,” Li Zhanyi said thoughtfully. “But that makes things difficult. If we can’t find the core entity, it will be hard to save this school.”

"I'll think of a way."

Lin Chen stood up and looked around the classroom.

As mentioned earlier, some students have been arrested.

Once we figure out where those students were taken, we can naturally find the core entity.

It would be difficult for an ordinary person to do this in a short period of time, but Lin Chen is different.

He has a "city of mirages".
