Chapter 138 Facing Fear

  【Orphanage】

 The area that had the greatest impact on Yi Chen during his lifetime was that it was incredible that he could walk out of the orphanage alive and return to normal society.

 At least from what we know about the history of the orphanage, he was the only one who left.

Under the guidance of psychological experts arranged by the government, it took two full years to "lock" all memories of the orphanage in the depths of consciousness, and then replaced them with a fictitious normal childhood implanted through hypnosis.

 At least before Yi Chen traveled through, there were no problems.

 As we enter a world infected with disease, filled with despair and death, those locked things begin to slowly spill out of the keyholes, as if they are being drawn by the same kind.

However, the 'orphanage experience' is not a bad thing. It is precisely because of such an extreme and terrifying experience that Yi Chen was able to survive various dangers and quickly adapt to such a diseased world when he traveled to this world.

The current thinking test led by the principal made Yi Chen accidentally fall into the deepest layers of his consciousness, and he used the [Gate] as an opportunity to release the sealed memories of the past.

This element of [door] left a deep impression on Yi Chen when he was in the orphanage.

Whether it is the iron door of the solitary room, the iron door of the restaurant or the iron door of the game area, once it is closed, a price must be paid before it can be reopened.

The iron door Yi Chen pushed open from the painting room corresponds to his former dormitory [Room 107].

 Looking back,

 The dark, narrow room with rat holes has a total of six beds crammed into it.

The roommates who are skinny, covered with sores and even missing fingers and skin are enjoying a short and peaceful night's rest. They have been completely domesticated, and their brains will never have the idea of ​​​​escape.

Yichen's hand was holding the thin wire that he had worked so hard to get this morning, and he successfully opened the bedroom door.

 Crackling~

Bean-sized raindrops hit the windows in the hallway crazily, and thunder continued.

During his outdoor activities in the afternoon, he deduced by observing changes in soil moisture that there would be a rare heavy rain tonight... This was the best time to escape.

However,

Yi Chen stood motionless at the door, a black substance eroding his eyes.

Perhaps it was a sudden switch back to the scene in the past that I least wanted to recall. I couldn't accept it for a long time and stayed in place.

Perhaps he was wondering whether the so-called experiences of escaping from the orphanage, growing up, and traveling through time were all a fantasy. He has not left here for more than twenty years.

Maybe you have other ideas,

Because I stood at the door of the dormitory for such a long time, I missed the best opportunity to escape.

 A few minutes passed, and a sharp sound, like fingernails scraping against a blackboard, came from the end of the passage:

"Yi Chen, what are you doing here? Are you thinking about escaping again? You can actually open the locked door... As expected of you."

The source of the sound corresponds to an old woman with an upside-down head, bright red lips, and granular eyes.

 The familiar sound caused Yi Chen's body to have a 'stress reaction' and trembled instinctively.

  Quickly recalled that after some friends who tried to escape were caught, other children in the orphanage would be invited to watch the pain and suffering of the escapees.

but,

When recalling the specific details of the torture, Yi Chen became less scared. Instead, it reminded him of the happy time he spent with Teacher Zed in the underground paradise.

 The trembling body calmed down in an instant.

Yi Chen suddenly tilted his head and looked at a sick person, "I didn't want to escape... I just wanted to come out and execute you all."

"You seem to have some mental problems, and you can actually say such things. Don't worry, I won't kill you without special instructions from the dean."

Security, come over quickly and catch this little guy. "

 As soon as the words fell,

Two security guards walked out of the passage at the same time. Their guns were not on their waists, but on their necks instead of their heads.

Hold a leather strap full of spikes in one hand and an electric baton in the other, using his strong body to completely block the passage.

Yi Chen was not panicked at all. He stared at the empty wall in front of him... Under the influence of his subjective consciousness, a glass cabinet containing a fire ax actually appeared out of thin air.

 Elbow bump!

　　　咯~ Glass shards shattered all over the ground, and the fire ax of suitable weight was already in Yi Chen's hand.

 Two security guards also attacked from the front and back, and the sound of gunshots in their heads could be heard.

 The sounds of slashing, banging, and gunfire echoed through the passages.

  After one minute,

 Two strong bodies fell in a pool of blood,

Yi Chen ignored the waist, abdomen and thigh that were penetrated by bullets... Hold the ax handle and pull it up!

           The fire ax that was dug into the security guard's back was pulled out along with the blood and broken bones, and was put on the shoulder again.

Not only that,

Yichen bent down, held a security guard's pistol head with his free left hand, and pulled hard~

 The muscles were torn...the head of the gun growing on the neck was pulled out by the roots and held in the hand.

Carrying an ax in one hand,

Hold the pistol in one hand,

 Turn your head sideways,

Hugely bloodshot eyes squinted at the woman at the end of the passage,

 “It’s your turn next~Teacher.”

 …

  【Swan Academy】

Yichen, who was floating on the roof, just stayed in the three minutes specified in the test, and his body slowly descended from the headspace.

Both Chamberson, Zed, and a few friends were all worried about him.

but…

Although Yi Chen was descending slowly, his eyes still didn't open.

Standing on the ground in a very strange state, there was even a hint of black breath coming out of the surface of his head.

　　噌!

With his eyes closed, he suddenly took out a hand ax and a gun (when he went out today, Zed considered that the test might involve actual combat, so he stuffed the weapons in the suitcase directly into Yi Chen's clothing room and brought them over with him. )

 The gun handle and ax handle rotate between the left and right palms at the same time.

 After three and a half rotations,

Snapped! Hold both!

 The muscles between the calves are all tense, and you can even see the veins of plants protruding from the surface of the muscles. Step forward! The speed of the explosion is close to the limit of human beings.

Not only that,

Yichen's body also released two auras at the same time, a bright red aura of massacre and a black aura of death that came from nowhere, which mixed together to form a dark red curtain.

 His target was none other than the principal, Deslyn Valdivia.

Pull back the ax with your right hand, make a gesture of swinging your arm to accumulate strength, lock the principal's slender neck, and intend to chop off the head.

The left hand adjusted the firearm to scattering mode, aiming at its bumpy body, intending to break the torso at the waist.

this moment,

 As Yi Chen’s direct mentor,

Zed climbed over the last row of desks at the first time,

His toes are lengthened and thickened to improve pedaling ability,

 The number of fingers has also been increased to thirteen, which greatly increases the crawling speed.

While stopping Yi Chen, he was going to intercede with the principal as much as possible, attributing Yi Chen's abnormality to [special training] and let him, the instructor, take the blame.

the other side,

Professor Chamberson also waved his arm and cast a spell instantly, raising a wind wall in an attempt to stop Yi Chen's rude behavior.

Sweat also flowed down Chamberson's white temples, while thinking about how to plead with the principal and how to explain such abnormal behavior.

However.

Before Zed arrived and Chamberson's wind wall was not fully generated, the principal took action in advance.

  She did not use any threatening attacks, nor did she dodge.

 Instead, she took the initiative to move up two steps and spread her arms.

Before Yi Chen's attack could land, he hugged him into his arms... gently caressing his head like a mother, and a warm and quiet voice came out from under the mask.

 “It’s okay~It’s okay~”

 …

  【Consciousness Space】

Yi Chen, who was filled with hatred and had red eyes, was on his way to the old woman who had her head turned upside down.

A pair of arms that outlined the lines of the night sky broke through the barrier of consciousness and hugged Yi Chen tightly from behind...with a sudden pull, he was directly pulled out of the deep area.

The surrounding scene keeps regressing. The orphanage teacher with his head turned over waved goodbye to Yi Chen who was leaving. The sly smile on his red lips seemed to be looking forward to the next encounter.

Buzz!

 Return of consciousness.

Yi Chen opened his eyes suddenly, but for a long time he did not receive the light in the classroom. Instead, it was completely blocked by some soft object.

The front of the body is constantly exposed to the subtle touch of silk, leather and flesh.

 While breathing, a body fragrance that can relax the whole body enters the nasal cavity, forcing Yi Chen to enjoy such a comfortable embrace.
