He tried to save the fallen girls, but they came after him instead.

The remaining task is to gather the students and teachers together and break the hypnosis.

This nightmare is finally over.

"Yako, quickly release everyone from the control."

Yako did not respond, her head lowered, her eyes fixed on the pocket watch.

"Yako, are you alright?"

Shirakawa had a terrible premonition. He slowly moved closer to Ako from behind.

At that moment, Ako suddenly turned her head.

His eyes held a hint of madness, his gaze was narrowed, and a chilling smile played on his lips; he seemed to have become someone else entirely.

"Shirakawa, are you trying to steal my pocket watch?"

Yako gave an odd emphasis to the words "me" and "pocket watch."

59. The situation gradually calmed down.

What's going on?

Shirakawa spread his arms out in front of his chest, making a gesture of surrender, and dared not approach rashly, lest he affect her emotions.

“Um, Ayako, no one wants to steal your pocket watch. We just want to use it to get everyone back to normal as soon as possible.”

"This is my pocket watch. I can use it however I want."

Yako's delicate, porcelain-doll-like appearance now resembled that of a vengeful female ghost.

Seeing Yako in this strange state, Jackie kicked Anshi hard.

"Tell me quickly, how did things turn out like this?"

"I...I don't know either." Anshi's attitude softened slightly after losing his pocket watch, and he was no longer as hateful as before, stammering as he replied.

After getting to know each other for a short period of time, both Jackie and Shirakawa felt that Ayako couldn't possibly be the kind of person who pretends to be kind on the surface but is actually hypocritical and cunning behind the scenes.

Therefore, there is only one answer.

There's a big problem with this pocket watch.

When Jackie received the pocket watch, the nauseating feeling she experienced was probably not an illusion; anyone who receives a pocket watch would likely have their mind affected by it.

Shirakawa felt the same way.

The hypnotized students poured out of the teaching building and came up behind Shirakawa.

Yako fastened the chain to her hand, and the pocket watch fell freely, swaying slowly.

Shirakawa kept his head down, avoiding looking at the pocket watch.

"Everyone, heed my command, capture Shirakawa!"

"It's no use!" Shirakawa lowered his head, suddenly started running like an ostrich, came up to Ako, and forcibly snatched Ako's pocket watch.

Being addicted to games and not exercising makes you too weak and frail; you don't even have the strength to resist.

The moment he received the pocket watch, a strange sound echoed in Shirakawa's mind.

Come on, tell me, what do you want?

It's the voice of a mature woman.

Do you want happiness? Do you want money? Do you want people to submit to you?

Her enchanting voice, as sweet as water, was so alluring it penetrated to the bone, gradually seducing Bai Chuan and tempting him to fall into that boundless hell of pleasure.

Shirakawa felt his desires being amplified without limit, as if his body was being swept up by an endless vortex of desire.

Perhaps because Bai Chuan was a time traveler, he was not completely controlled by that voice for a while. If he concentrated a little, he could still put up a fight against it.

Shirakawa tapped his head, trying to stay awake, and took out his pocket watch, waving it in front of his classmates.

"Everyone, gather at the stadium!"

The students paused for a moment, then swarmed toward the gymnasium.

These are only some of the students. If we lift the hypnosis now, they will definitely run around and shout when they find that other people on campus are acting strangely.

We need to gather all the students and teachers together first.

"Shirakawa, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I don't know why I became like that." Ako covered her head, blaming herself and feeling guilty.

"It's okay, it's not your fault," Shirakawa comforted Ayako.

"Xiao Bai, why don't you give me this pocket watch?" Jackie said with heartache, seeing Bai Chuan's weak appearance.

"Won't you be affected by the pocket watch?"

"It's alright, it's just that I feel terrible both mentally and physically, but at least I won't turn into someone like Yako..." Jackie suddenly realized she had said the wrong thing and immediately stopped.

Yako lowered her head, remaining silent, tears welling up in her eyes.

"I'll do it."

It's not that I don't trust Jackie, but rather than letting her suffer this pain, I'd rather take it all on myself.

Besides, Shirakawa still has faith in his own will and believes he can pull through.

"Jackie, Aya, you two go to the general laboratory to undo Nikaido's hypnosis, then go to the broadcasting room and tell all the students to gather at the gymnasium. I'm going to the gymnasium to prepare to break everyone's hypnosis."

"Xiaobai, can you manage on your own?" Jieqi replied.

"Trust me, I'll be fine."

“Okay.” Jackie turned around and patted Ayako on the shoulder. “We should go.”

"Hmm." Yako lowered her head slightly, her fingers interlaced and gently pinching.

"It's okay, who could have predicted that something like that would happen? Stop blaming yourselves, let's work together to save everyone."

"Hmm." Hearing Jackie's comforting words, Ayako perked up a little.

Jackie pulled Yako along and headed towards the main gate of the teaching building.

"Keep it up, Xiao Bai. If you turn into someone like An Shi, I'll really beat you up."

"understood."

Shirakawa waved them off.

Next up was Anshi, who was lying on the ground.

An Shi, having lost his pocket watch, became less despicable, but he still had to pay the price for his actions.

Shirakawa kicked Anshi in the shoulder a few times, making him yell in pain.

"Now we're even."

Shirakawa rubbed his slightly red and swollen shoulder and said.

Then, Shirakawa squatted down, took out his pocket watch, and waved it in front of Anshi.

Out of fear, Anshi quickly closed his eyes tightly.

"You have two choices: either you obediently let me hypnotize you, or I'll find a bunch of athletes to beat you up and forcibly pry open your eyelids," Shirakawa threatened.

An Shi had no choice but to open his eyes.

"Yes, that's right, destroy him, turn him into a complete cripple, drive him insane, make him a cripple until the end of his life," the woman's voice said.

Shirakawa shook his pocket watch and began his hypnosis.

Where did you get this pocket watch?

“Commercial street…” Anshi’s eyes became vacant and unfocused as he answered Shirakawa’s question.

"Where in the commercial street...?"

“I don’t know…I don’t know…” An Shi shook his head repeatedly.

If Anshi hadn't been hypnotized, Shirakawa would definitely have thought he was lying. How could he have obtained something so important without knowing why?

"Whom have you hurt with your pocket watch?"

"No."

"Haven't you been hypnotizing girls into doing those things all along?"

"No chance...no success."

"why?"

"I don't know. I've tried countless times, and every time I get to the point, the other person just crashes. If I force it, the other person will come to their senses."

It seems there's something wrong with how this pocket watch works.

"Why were you adjusting your pocket watch on the rooftop?"

"Adjusting the pocket watch's time and speed, wanting to break through the limitations, wanting to be with the girl..."
