The villains are redeemed, and the heroines cry and beg for forgiveness.

With a slight smile, the illusory figure continued, "I suppose so, if the 'destined ones' we both understand refer to are the same group of people."

Gu Ran said in a deep voice, "Why did you bring me here?"

The phantom: "Saving you also gives myself an answer. There are factors involved in both to some extent."

"Save me?" Gu Ran stared at the illusory figure. "Why do you say that? Am I about to die? Can you foresee my future?"

Is it also predictive ability?

Gu Ran suddenly remembered the predictions made by Cheng Caimeng and Xue Yingsong.

"In a way, it's a glimpse into your future, but it's just one of many possibilities for your future."

The phantom figure denied Gu Ran's guess, but it didn't completely deny it either.

"One of countless possibilities for the future?" Gu Ran frowned. "If there really are countless possibilities for the future, predicting only one seems to have almost the same effect as not predicting at all."

“You’re right, so predicting the future is… the most unreliable thing, there are just too many factors that can influence it,” the phantom nodded in agreement.

"So what you saw about my future... what danger will I be in? Will I need you to save me?" Gu Ran continued to ask.

"Haven't you noticed anything unusual about your students? They've been contaminated," the phantom said.

Gu Ran's pupils contracted, and he immediately said, "Quickly let me leave this space!"

The phantom said, "You want to save them? It's too late. Although some of them seem normal now, their consciousness has been invaded by demons, and now they're just one step away from being completely taken over."

The phantom glanced at the playing screen and exclaimed, "Oh, not entirely. One of your students is still conscious, but he'll be gone soon. The others have all been possessed by the demons, and he can't stay conscious for long."

Gu Ran knew he was referring to Chang Mu.

Chang Mu's telekinetic talent is considered high among ordinary people, which may be why he was able to remain conscious for the time being.

"You mean demons from outer space?" Gu Ran's expression was rather grim.

Although he had never seen extraterrestrial demons in reality, he knew that the "General Regent" had encountered demons in outer space.

It is a conscious life form that can invade and occupy the human consciousness, causing the human to completely lose autonomy over their own body.

"Now, immediately, let me out!" Gu Ran stared coldly at the illusory figure.

At the same time, his mental power spread to the edge of this independent space, expanding completely.

Although he no longer possesses spatial abilities, based on his past experience, he knows that the weakest point of such an independent small space is its boundary.

Once he finds the boundary, he can break through it using his own strength.

"It seems you value this student highly."

The figure was blurry, and his features were unclear; one could only judge his emotions by his tone of voice.

"I value all my students!"

Gu Ran said in a serious tone.

The phantom stared at Gu Ran, who met its gaze without the slightest fear.

"As I just said, I'm here to save you. Of course, that doesn't mean you'll die if you go out. Even if you're weak now, there shouldn't be anyone in the Human Alliance who can beat you."

The phantom said, "You just have no idea what kind of enemy you're facing."

"Your enemies won't come from those hideous aliens; I know they're no match for you. But what about the people around you?"

"The students you value are already controlled by all sorts of amplified negative emotions in their hearts. Even if you really leave and appear in front of them, they will no longer show you any mercy as their teacher. And you, can you be so ruthless?"

"Why don't we just stay here and wait for this incident to pass? If we can't find you, your tricks will be useless to us. We still have one last chance to turn the tables."

Gu Ran felt that what the illusory figure said was a bit strange, but he didn't have time to analyze it now.

"What problem can a cowardly coward solve by hiding?" Gu Ran retorted sarcastically. "Although I don't quite know what you mean by my 'death crisis' that makes you think hiding here is the best way, please forgive me for disagreeing."

"If someone has the ability to escape, but abandons those around them and runs away to hide, even if they succeed in escaping this time, they have lost their courage and their family and friends. Can they really turn the tables?"

"How is that possible? Wake up! This kind of person is incapable of facing greater difficulties!"

Gu Ran's words silenced the illusory figure.

249. Ha, don't underestimate us humans! 4k

"Haha, this answer... I have to say, it surprised me a bit, but it also fits the image in my mind very well."

"So this is another 'me'?"

The illusory image slowly solidified, transforming into a concrete human figure.

And the solidified figure it forms is exactly like Gu Ran!

Gu Ran's pupils suddenly contracted.

"You seem surprised, which means you haven't truly come into contact with the deepest secrets of this world yet."

The phantom said with some emotion, "But the extraterrestrial beings have already arrived, which means that the will of the world's rules has already set its sights on you."

"The final countdown has begun, so there's no need for me to hide anything anymore. One more day or one less won't make a big difference. It's better to let you know more about the inside story sooner rather than later, perhaps..."

Finally, the illusory figure looked up at Gu Ran: "This time, you can truly end the cycle of reincarnation..."

"alright--"

"Wait a minute. Although I know what you're about to tell me is very important, and may even be related to the destruction of the world or the future, can you let me out right now?" Gu Ran interrupted the illusory figure, staring intently at him.

The boundaries of this independent space were larger than he had imagined; even after extending his mental power for so long, he still hadn't sensed the boundaries.

If the phantom could help him get out quickly, that would be best.

"Is it to save your students?" The phantom shook its head with a smile. "I've already told you, your students have been invaded by evil spirits and are beyond saving."

"Those who are possessed by evil spirits are far more seriously affected than those who are corrupted by star stones, because evil spirits are far more terrifying than corruption. Once possessed, evil spirits can not only read your memories, but also use those memories to deceive those close to you."

Gu Ran recalled Li Ou's words, which he had pretended to ask for help on the mecha team's public channel.

"If you're unwilling to give up and insist on doing something futile, then I won't stop you. You can leave now, and I can tell you about it later, of course, before the world rules discover my bug-like existence. If the world rules discover me, I will be immediately eliminated, and then there will be no one to tell you what you want to know for the time being."

The phantom glanced at Gu Ran, then waved its hand, and a spatial portal appeared in front of it.

"Your spatial ability is gone, and your strength is weaker than I imagined. Now you are being targeted by the world's rules and will be powerless to fight back. This extraterrestrial invasion is a correction of the world's rules. If you hide here and do not change this correction, then you still have a lot of time."

"But if you choose to get deeply involved in this event and try to use your own power to forcefully change this correction, then your countdown will speed up. The deeper you get involved and the more you change, the less time is left in the countdown."

"This is all your own choice. Good luck."

Before stepping into the spatial portal, Gu Ran took a deep look at the phantom that had transformed into an exact replica of himself.

Was that blood moon you?

Although it is a question, it is definitely expressed in an affirmative tone.

Seeing the slightly surprised expression on the phantom's face, Gu Ran knew the answer and then stepped into the portal.

On the other side of the portal lies the battlefield of the mech squad.

When Gu Ran walked out of the spatial portal, the mecha squad was already completely locked in battle.

The extraterrestrial aliens did not stay behind to attack the mecha team, but continued flying towards Lanxin University.

Gu Ran glanced at the mecha beside him, which was at least ten stories high, and expressionlessly pierced the cockpit with his telekinetic power, transforming it into a sharp sword.

Then, the telekinetic energy changed again, growing barbs that hooked onto the hatch and pulled it outwards with a sharp pull.

The metal hatch was immediately torn to shreds by Gu Ran, who then pulled the pilot out like a puppy.

The same applies to the other mechs.

Once they lose their mechs, these pilots' destructive power is greatly reduced, far less than that of martial artists and superhumans.

"Leo, go to hell!"

Even after leaving the mech's cockpit, there were still people who wanted to kill Leo. They struggled and continued to rush towards Leo.

"Hahaha, I am the strongest! Even if so many people gang up on me, they still can't kill me. I am the most talented one!"

Even when lifted up by Gu Ran's telekinetic power, Li Ou showed no sign of panic. He simply laughed wildly, his expression twisted and utterly insane.

Gu Ran frowned slightly and looked at the others.

The others weren't much better than Leo.

Their faces were contorted with various expressions, their emotions amplified to the maximum.

"Teacher...I..."

A broken voice came from behind.

It was Chang Mu, the first student Gu Ran formally accepted, and also the most talented student he had found so far.

"Chang Mu, are you alright? Can your body hold up?" Gu Ran used his telekinesis to place Chang Mu in front of him and asked.

"Teacher, I...I'm in so much pain..." Chang Mu's face contorted in pain. "Kill me...Teacher, help me...find peace..."

Gu Ran was taken aback.

He knew Chang Mu well; he would never "seek death" unless he was in extreme pain.

Has Changmu really fallen to this state?

"Chang Mu, hang in there!" Gu Ran would never kill his students. "I will definitely find a way to save you!"
