Chapter 1 An Opportunity

The chubby boy and his two lackeys cracked their knuckles with sinister smiles, surrounding Shen Wei.

Just at this critical moment, things suddenly took a turn for the better.

"What are you doing? Get back to your seats!"

A female teacher with glasses, dressed in professional attire, walked into the classroom and sternly reprimanded the chubby boy and his friends.

Seeing the chubby boy and the others thwarted, Shen Wei's face revealed a smug smile.

"Shen Wei, don't get cocky. Just you wait..."

The chubby boy glared fiercely at Shen Wei, spat out a harsh word, and returned to his seat with his two followers.

"Shen Wei, come out for a moment. Your brother Yang Chen wants to see you. He's in the infirmary..."

The young female teacher with glasses called Shen Wei's name, asking him to go to the infirmary to see Yang Chen.

Shen Wei hurried out of his seat, curiously glancing at the work ID hanging around the teacher's neck. Only then did he realize that this young woman with glasses was their class teacher, Teacher Li Qing!

"Yang Chen was seriously injured in the second part of the movie. I wonder how he is now..."

Shen Wei muttered worriedly to himself.

The female teacher seemed to see what Shen Wei was thinking, a smile appearing on her face as she reassured him,

"Don't worry, Yang Chen is fine. He just suffered some superficial injuries. He fainted because he was mentally exhausted and sleep-deprived..."

"Oh, that's good, that's good..."

Shen Wei nodded with premature maturity.

"You're quite interesting, young man. By the way, what's the deal with you and Yang Chen? One of you is surnamed Shen, and the other is surnamed Yang..."

The female teacher asked with great interest.

"Well, we are blood brothers from different fathers and mothers..."

Shen Wei replied casually.

"You little rascal, you're making fun of your teacher, aren't you? Blood brothers from different fathers and mothers, how can you even say that..."

Teacher Li Qing said, both amused and annoyed.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Wei said with a straight face, "Yang Chen and I are sworn brothers. We burned yellow paper, beheaded chickens, and drank blood wine. We don't ask to be born on the same day of the same month of the same year, but we ask to die on the same day of the same month of the same year..."

Teacher Li Qing playfully hit him, pretending to be angry: "You just like to fool your teacher. Watch less of those improper movies in the future..."

"Got it, Teacher! Actually, we are both from orphanages. We were abandoned and only had the opportunity to go to school with the help of others. He recognizes me as his older brother, and I take care of him as my younger brother. It's that simple..."

Shen Wei started talking nonsense as soon as he opened his mouth, starting to fool Teacher Li Qing.

"Ah, you two are so pitiful? I shouldn't have asked. I'm sorry!..."

Teacher Li Qing said with some guilt.

"It's okay, it's okay! Teacher Li, I'm used to it..."

Shen Wei's nonchalant attitude aroused Teacher Li's sympathy and maternal instincts even more.

After all, women are emotional creatures. A tragic life story can gain her sympathy, and then use this Teacher Li Qing to teach the chubby boy and his friends a lesson. Wouldn't that be wonderful? Shen Wei's wishful thinking was so loud that even the Evil God Right Hand couldn't stand it.

"I'd rather believe there are ghosts in this world than believe Shen Wei's broken mouth..."

"Damn Righty, you unreliable guy, all you do is mess things up for me..."

Shen Wei frantically cursed the Evil God Right Hand in his mind, directly sending it into a state of shutting down.

Unknowingly, Teacher Li Qing led Shen Wei to a not-so-large infirmary. There were only a few beds, a school doctor, and an assistant.

As soon as Shen Wei entered, he saw Yang Chen lying on the bed with a pale face. When Yang Chen saw him, his face lit up with joy: "Shen Wei, you're finally here. I thought you left me and ran away."

"You little kid, you like to talk nonsense. Am I that kind of person?"

Shen Wei sat down in front of Yang Chen's bed and examined his injuries. The external injuries were not too serious, but the loss of spirit and lifespan was too great. In addition, with his ability being sealed, Yang Chen had completely lost his combat power. He probably couldn't even beat an ordinary child now.

"Sigh, Teacher Li, can you give us some free space? We want to talk alone..."

Shen Wei sighed deeply.

"Alright!"

Teacher Li Qing said a few words to the school doctor, and they walked out of the school infirmary together.

"Shen Wei, did you find anything?"

Yang Chen asked impatiently.

"I just found out that our abilities have been sealed. Now we can't even beat an ordinary child, so try not to cause trouble and keep a low profile..."

"Ah, is that so? I thought I couldn't use my ability because my spirit and lifespan were overdrawn. Without our abilities, how can we fight the evil gods and supernatural entities in this instance?..."

A look of dismay appeared on Yang Chen's face.

"Don't worry, I feel that this instance may not require our abilities. Otherwise, the Rule Anomaly wouldn't have sealed our abilities. There must be other solutions. We must solve the hidden dangers before the gray and black lines invade this school, and completely cut off the plot about them in the future timeline!"

"The most important thing now is to find the key protagonist or event of this incident. What person or event caused the gray and black lines to connect to the school in the real world? We must nip it in the bud..."

Shen Wei spoke eloquently to Yang Chen, who nodded repeatedly.

"But this school is so big, where should we start looking? How can we determine which event or which protagonist caused those things to invade the real world?"

Yang Chen expressed his doubts.

After thinking for a while, Shen Wei said to Yang Chen: "As long as we keep an eye on Dorm 505 and the security room, these two key places, we will always find clues..."

"Shen Wei, Yang Chen, what are you two doing? Discussing movie plots? Or playing script murder, making it sound so suspenseful, can you include me? They won't play with me..."

This sudden voice startled Shen Wei and Yang Chen.

"Damn it, without my abilities, I didn't even notice that there was another person in the bed next door..."

Shen Wei pulled open the curtain of the next bed.

A little boy in simple clothes, covered in wounds, was curled up on the bed, looking at Shen Wei and Yang Chen timidly.

"Who are you?"

Shen Wei and Yang Chen asked in unison.

"I'm Zhang Ziliang. We're in the same class. Um... can I play with you? If so, I can tell you a secret..."

"Yes, tell us your secret..."

Shen Wei became excited when he heard the word "secret."

"There's someone talking to me from inside the walls of my dorm every night..."
