Chapter 1070 Who is the Real Culprit (Part 13)
"H-What should I do!"

Yun Jizhao instinctively stepped behind Liu Sheng, gripping her sleeve tightly.

Meanwhile, He Yu's pale face was illuminated by the rapidly rising red light from the eerie energy detector in his hand.

“As expected…” His Adam’s apple bobbed, “After the New Humans die… they are more likely to become monsters.”

"This is--"

Yun Jizhao was also startled by the bright red color.

"Level C influence! This is beyond our capabilities. We should call for help from the Weaving Institute..."

"I can't come." He Yu gritted his teeth. "The formation has been sealed off, and no one is allowed to enter or leave."

"Why! Shouldn't things be made more lenient about something this serious?"

“This is the order from the Dean,” He Yu emphasized.

"Then now..."

"Leaving all that aside, is it possible for us to leave this place?"

He Yu was referring to this room.

Looking again at "Zhou Yun" with her face turned upright, my heart tightened immediately:
"What are you doing!"

He wasn't talking about Zhou Yun, but rather Liu Sheng, who was pressing Zhou Yun's face and trying to force her back into place.

"Of course, we should help her recover."

Although Liu Sheng's actions looked rough, there was clearly another upward force hindering her, as if Zhou Yun's head was unwilling to return to its original position.

Yun Jizhao hesitated for a second, but finally stepped forward and helped press down hard together.

They instantly sensed that powerful force.

At the same time, Zhou Yun's eyelids blinked rapidly, like a malfunctioning doll, and she made strange gurgling sounds from her throat.

His whole body was trembling violently.

Like a fish struggling to break free of a fishing net.

"Come and help!"

"It's about to slip away," Yun Jizhao shouted.

He Yu hesitated: "This...this is a strange object...If I touch it...what if I also..."

"Guard your mind," Liu Sheng said coldly. "Otherwise, you might get infected even if you don't touch it."

"Furthermore, Zhou Yun hasn't truly become a monster yet; it's just that we've acted somewhat impulsively. If we don't resolve this quickly, she will truly become a monster, which will not only trigger the alarm of the Evil-Repelling Mirror but could even infect the entire academy."

"This is clearly the consequence of your stubbornness. This matter has nothing to do with you, much less with me!"

He Yu's voice had changed tone, becoming sharp and broken.

Are you sure it has nothing to do with you?

As Liu Sheng spoke, he cast a low-level spell—the Green Vine Technique—and instantly unfurled vines formed from spiritual energy, binding Zhou Yun's hands and feet.

However, it only lasted for a few breaths.

The vines trembled under the strain of the eerie energy and snapped with a crack.

"I come!"

Yun Jizhao gritted his teeth.

Following suit, it summoned green vines, which coiled around the plant in circles.

To stabilize Zhou Yun for the time being.

However, it was obvious that specks of spiritual energy were emerging from the vines formed by the spiritual energy, and the blue color was slowly turning yellow, indicating that it was dissipating due to the collision of the strange energy.

Yun Jizhao is still struggling to keep going.

He Yu finally asked hesitantly:

"what do you mean?"

"You just said that the sealing of the grand formation was the academy head's order. Have you thought about why?"

Taking advantage of Zhou Yun's inability to move, Liu Sheng pressed down on the skull again without changing his expression and took out a needle and thread from his sleeve.

With the aid of spiritual power, the threads became incredibly sharp, burrowing under the skin and through the gaps in the bones like living things.

Whoosh whoosh.

Under Liu Sheng's direction, the silk threads moved back and forth, stitching together the nerves and tissues in Zhou Yun's brain little by little.

Their movements were skillful, flowing like clouds and water, even possessing a strangely pleasing quality.

He Yu watched for a while and almost became engrossed in it.

After a long pause, he finally came to his senses and asked, "What do you mean?"

"It's nothing. I just find it strange that if we're investigating this case, why seal off the academy? It's not a murder case, so why worry about the killer escaping the scene?"

"This... is because we need to find the person who is truly responsible."

"If that's the case, why aren't you investigating it thoroughly?" Liu Sheng asked again. "Aren't we investigating it already?"

"If we really investigate with all our might, there should be no way we can't find the spiritual messages in Zhou Yun's brain, right? It's something we could find out just by looking at the mirage records in the Evil-Repelling Mirror."

He Yu was slightly taken aback.

"If it's confirmed, they'll naturally find your obvious flaws, know what happened between you and Zhou Yun last night, and know that you were the last person to see Zhou Yun."

While suturing Zhou Yun's brain structure, Liu Sheng still had the mind to conjure up a light screen—

This is the scene where Zhou Yun stood motionless in the courtyard for a long time.

That is, the version modified by He Yu.

However, Liu Sheng zoomed in on the corner Zhou Yun was facing and adjusted the brightness, which made it clear that a figure was hiding there, maintaining the posture of about to walk out.

He Yu's heart skipped a beat: "I...I...didn't notice."

"Of course, you were too hasty, so it's normal to overlook something."

"Furthermore, regarding the conflict between her and her roommate, you should have inquired about it in detail, instead of just asking and then leaving it at that. But now? It seems that no one is asking about it except you."

He Yu's breathing became increasingly erratic.

Outside, the wind and snow were battering against the doors and windows, as if something was approaching.

"Right, you've noticed something strange too, haven't you?"

Liu Sheng's needle and thread moved even faster, and the nerves in Zhou Yun's brain were reconnected to their original positions one by one.

"But you have never questioned the academy's sealing array. Why?"

"Yes...why?" He Yu murmured, repeating.

Liu Sheng said slowly, "Because you know very well that whether it's today, tomorrow, or any day in the future, you can't leave here."

"You just need a reason."

He Yu was shocked and completely stunned.

At this point, the brain tissue connections are complete.

It was time to suture the skull.

Liu Sheng continued to use the spiritually enhanced silk threads to pierce through the bone and suture the joints of the skull.

Zhou Yun's face finally began to darken.

But at that very moment, his body erupted in an unprecedentedly violent struggle.

Yun Jizhao's spiritual energy was nearly depleted due to the Green Vine Technique.

As the vines withered and broke one by one, Zhou Yun almost jumped off the long table.

Yun Jizhao could only lunge forward, pressing his body against Zhou Yun's upper body, his hands gripping her wildly twitching wrists tightly.

"Hurry! Master He! I...I can't hold on any longer!"

The whole hut was shaking.

The wall plaster was cracked, the table legs creaked, and cold wind whistled in through the cracks.

But this crack does not represent freedom.

Because from the crack, eyeballs squeezed out, just like Zhou Yun's lifeless eyes, staring intently at the three of them.

He Yu finally snapped out of his numbness.

He gritted his teeth, unleashing a surge of spiritual power to bind Zhou Yun with the Green Vine Technique. At the same time, he pressed down on Zhou Yun's feet with his hands, using almost all his strength.

"Hurry!"

Liu Sheng did not respond, but continued working.

Threads of spiritual energy weaved through Zhou Yun's hair like nimble little snakes.

As the last wisp of hair disappeared under the skin.

Zhou Yun's head closed steadily.

Her struggles suddenly stopped.

The entire room seemed to be paused by an invisible hand, and all the vibrations stopped abruptly.

Liu Sheng helped Zhou Yun close her eyelids.

Those strange eyeballs also wriggled back in, and all the cracks were healing.

The red color of the eerie detector faded rapidly.

At this moment, the door behind them creaked open and opened a crack once more.

Looking back at Zhou Yun's face.

A serene smile appeared on his face.

Liu Sheng then put Zhou Yun's spiritual message in his palm.

The answer is right here.
