I rely on myself

Chapter 300 Collapse of the Ground

Having made up her mind, Charlotte no longer hesitated, or rather, there was no time for her to hesitate, so she headed straight for the clock tower that she had destroyed yesterday in her disguise.

Because her target, the dean, was right there. When Charlotte quickened her pace and left until she could no longer see anyone, a sweet voice like a song suddenly rang out from nowhere.

"What a good kid. I really want to help her if I can."

The voice was obviously a female voice. As the voice sounded, a figure appeared out of thin air like a phantom.

The blue-purple skirt is covered with armor of a similar color. While being practical in battle, it also fully demonstrates the charm of the wearer.

She has long hair that fades from light blue to white, and she exudes a tranquil yet lonely aura. Anyone who sees her will admit from the bottom of their hearts that she is a very charming woman, but no one will look down on her because of this.

Because at the same time she has a heroic aura that makes her like a Valkyrie, or rather, that is exactly the case.

Although he expressed his sympathy for Charlotte, his expression did not waver.

If possible, she would certainly like to help the poor girl, but she still remembered her own position, so she could only wish Charlotte well in her heart.

"Then it's time to prepare to sneak in. According to the master's prediction, when most people's attention is attracted by the chaos, I will take the opportunity to sneak into the underground to explore. Although the plan is good, will things really go so smoothly?"

The Valkyrie's doubtful words were not because the plan was bad. Combined with the prediction given by her master, to be honest, the plan had a very high chance of success.

But it was precisely because everything went too smoothly that she had such doubts. After all, the entire plan seemed to have been made as if one had seen into the future, with no other contingency plans or any kind of response.

"But forget it. Since it is the master's order, let's just execute it. Even if something unexpected happens, we can still deal with it later."

Although she was distressed, there was nothing she could do now, so she would just act according to the plan. If it really didn't work, she would just improvise. She was confident about this.

After coming up with an idea in her mind, she disappeared again like a phantom and followed Charlotte's footsteps towards the clock tower.

What happened next went unexpectedly smoothly. Just as his master had said, under the attack of the girl named Charlotte, the clock tower, which had already been reduced to rubble, was further damaged, and even a bottomless hole was created in the ground.

Akabane Raijin and another girl, Charlotte's sister Anri, were implicated and fell into a deep pit, not knowing whether they were dead or alive.

Just as everyone's attention was attracted by the chaos caused by this sudden attack, no one noticed that another figure took the opportunity to sneak underground.

I actually saw the sun in the night sky.

This was the scene that came to Lei Zhen’s fuzzy mind.

What he saw before him was a world shrouded in darkness, and in the center of that vision, he could see a huge sun.

Lei Zhen kept blinking, and his mind began to recall vague memories: "I remember... I fell into the cave along with the foundation because I was involved in Sigmont's sabotage. "

In other words, that thing above the head is not the sun, but a hole leading to the ground?

It seemed like he had fallen into quite a deep place, and he even found it incredible that he was still alive.

Lei Zhen tried to move his fingers gently.

I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat at the thought of the possibility of losing my finger - it was still there, I could move it, and I felt no pain.

After carefully checking his physical condition, Lei Zhen slowly sat up.

It was dark all around, and the light coming in from the cave seemed unable to reach here.

Fortunately, Lei Zhen still had all the tools he usually used with him. So he took the kerosene lamp from his strap and lit it with a match. Looking carefully under the light, he saw that the surroundings were all sand. The slope was quite steep, and it looked like a sand dune.

“Ye Ye——!”

Lei Zhen tried to call out loudly, but after a while, only a faint echo came back.

It seems that this space is quite vast. I didn’t expect that there would be such a large hole under the college.

Although Lei Zhen called out several times, he still didn't hear any response from Ye Ye. This was understandable. After all, it was he who asked Ye Ye to report the news before, so he ended up being alone now.

"There's no other way. I have to rely on myself to get out of this predicament—"

At this moment, a shudder like an electric current ran through Lei Zhen's whole body.

He reflexively extinguished the kerosene lamp, lowered his body to the ground, and looked up in the direction where the breath came from.

There are countless stars twinkling in the sky.

No, those are not stars—they are eyes!

A lot of eyes are watching Lei Zhen!
That overwhelming gaze seemed to peel off clothes, tear apart skin, dismember people, and see through every cell in the body.

Hundreds of thousands, millions of 'something'.

In the next moment, those eyes blinked at the same time——

After dozens of seconds, Lei Zhen finally came to his senses, and those eyes had disappeared without a trace.

My heart was beating violently and I was sweating all over as if I had been caught in a heavy rain.

What were those just now?
Is there something around? Is this a magic trick? Or is this just an illusion caused by my fear?

Lei Zhen couldn't understand the truth, nor could he predict it. However, he wasn't so timid as to stop in his tracks because of fear of something unknown.

He lit the kerosene lamp again to illuminate the surroundings.

In front of me was a slope made of sand and soil, and there was no trace of any monsters.

So he decided to put the previous scene behind him for the time being and started thinking about how to escape.

The slope continued to extend downwards. Although I would instinctively want to climb up, the sand should not have accumulated to the entrance of the cave, and climbing on the sand is very physically demanding.

Therefore, we should restrain our activities and wait for rescue. However, Lei Zhen looked around carefully and found that he could see the shadows of rocks and rubble everywhere. Did they fall down together just now? The foundation above his head should have become quite loose. If there is another landslide, he might be crushed to death.

So Lei Zhen judged: Even if we don’t consider those monsters for the time being, it would be better to move the position first.

When Lei Zhen moved slightly down the slope, the kerosene lamp illuminated a strange object.

"——Hey! Cheer up!"

He quickly slid his body, closed the distance, and shouted loudly to the soft-looking object. At the same time, Raijin put his ear close to it and used his cheek to confirm its breath... It was still breathing!
"Wake up, Anri! Anriette!"

While Lei Zhen was trying to survive in this unknown underground building, another figure took the opportunity to sneak in.
