Chapter 521
Lu Sheng looked at the boy silently for a while .
"Ah Sang, what're you doing here?" Luo Di's voice suddenly reached him from behind .
His voice came abruptly . Lu Sheng did not even notice him getting near .
He started . Turning around, he saw that Luo Di was reaching out to pat his shoulder .
"I saw something in this classroom, and I came to take a look," Lu Sheng replied casually . He pointed at the interior of the classroom behind him .
However, his voice barely faded when he turned back to look . The classroom before him was pitch-black and empty . There was no little boy, and no television . Even the battered, neatly arranged tables and chairs were scattered all about the floor . There was a thick layer of black dust on the floor .
Luo Di looked inside the classroom, perplexed . "Are you sure that you saw something? A little boy?" He did not believe that his own son would make such a mistake . For an elite who practiced the Gelailo Sword Skill, there was no way that there would be a problem with his eyes .
"I'm sure of it . " Lu Sheng nodded . He pointed at the tables and chairs in the classroom . "When I was looking at the classroom before this, the tables and chairs were neatly arranged . "
Luo Di wore a grim expression, and seemed to be pondering something .
"Let's go . We should build that raft first . " He patted Lu Sheng's shoulder .
Lu Sheng nodded .
He seemed to have understood this town's crucial point . The key might very well have been this small building, this school .
'No… Maybe Luo Di didn't pick this place by chance at all…'
Lu Sheng took a final glance at this classroom . Then, he followed Luo Di up to the first floor .
In a classroom on the second floor, a group of people was gathered . When Fran saw Luo Di and Lu Sheng, she immediately stood up mid-yawn .
Mera's gaze was focused on Lu Sheng as well . The other emaciated man was also looking at Lu Sheng .
It was clear that everyone had learned about Lu Sheng's glorious feats .
"Since the wood is here, we must work together . We should build the raft in the shortest time possible and leave," Esseinro reminded everyone .
Lu Sheng raised a hand, and said, "I'll stand guard . "
"Where are we going to find thick ropes?"
"I've found some in the school's drawers . They look sturdy," Fran said loudly .
Then, they quickly went to work . The logs were swiftly arranged neatly, and the protrusions were shaved off with knives . Fortunately, the surface of the wood was quite rotten, and the bad parts were easily shaved off .
When they were building the raft, Lu Sheng started loitering around the small building again .
From the third floor to the second floor .
From the second floor to the first floor .
Down until the ground floor he went . He walked around in the cafeteria, and finally returned to the teaching area .
The wind kept blowing into the building through the broken windows . A peculiar whistle filled the small building .
"Pooh!"
Lu Sheng pushed open the door to a classroom . Thick black ashes fell down from the lintel . Fortunately, he had paused before the door . The ashes did not fall onto his head .
The classroom was wide and empty . Graffiti of unknown meaning drawn with black chalk covered the entire wall . Fragments of broken wooden tables and chairs were scattered across the floor . A gray rostrum that seemed dilapidated still stood before the blackboard .
'There's something strange about this place… These weren't here when I passed by just now…' Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes, and walked into the classroom .
The wind blew, and the classroom's door was slowly blown shut . Lu Sheng walked to the center of the classroom and looked around himself .
"Flap!"
There was a sudden, crisp sound that came from outside the classroom . He quickly lifted his head to look in its direction .
"Swoosh!"
Without him noticing, a huge group of people was already gathered outside the windows .
These people dressed like teachers and students . Their faces were ghastly pale, and their eyes were fixed on Lu Sheng . They were quiet and peculiar .
Lu Sheng blinked . The outside of the classroom reverted to the pitch-black place where nobody stood .
"Clack…"
Another crisp sound came from behind him .
Lu Sheng turned around . He saw a woman with hair so long that it covered her face standing behind the rostrum .
The woman's black hair was like a waterfall, long and packed . Her arms hung straight on her sides as she stood behind the rostrum . She seemed to be looking at Lu Sheng through her hair .
"What are you guys trying to say? You have the numbers?" Lu Sheng was expressionless .
His vision blurred, and the long-haired woman disappeared as well . It was as if she had been an illusion all along .
However, he knew full well that he was supported by his main body in his heart . As a Heavenly Devil, he himself was a peak elite in matters related to the spirit . Nobody could have possibly put him under an illusion without him noticing .
He walked in a circle in the classroom . Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .
Lu Sheng did not notice anything .

"Istantine! Istantine! Sifrey! Kaman!"
Suddenly, a loud and neat shout came from outside the window . There seemed to be a number of men with healthy lungs shouting at the same time .
Lu Sheng immediately rushed toward the window to have a look . However, when he was halfway to the window, the ground gave way under his feet .
"Bam!"
His vision blurred . He was no longer in a classroom . He was lying down in a deep, pitch-black trap .
"Ugh…"
Lu Sheng sat up straight, feeling groggy . He touched the ground beside him .
The ice-cold ground was surrounded by some tiny and sharp objects . He reached around with his hand, and found out that they were spikes .
With a beam of moonlight which shone from above, he saw his surroundings clearly .
Sharp metal spikes seemed to have formed a miniature forest around him . They were densely packed as they stood upright all around .
Lu Sheng got to his feet slowly . A huge patch of spikes which had broken from his weight was underneath him .
'Hmm… So there's this trick as well? This isn't an illusion . So, what is it?' He was immediately intrigued .
It was clear that he had fallen into a trap . However, his body was too powerful, and the trap had been unintentionally broken by him .
He rummaged around in an attempt to find something, anything .
However, to his disappointment, other than some bones that were almost turning to dust, there was nothing else in this trap hole .
Lu Sheng grabbed a spike, and stomped on the ground .
"Bam!"
He shot up like a rocket in an attempt to leap out of the trap .
"Fuh!"
A spiked iron ball with a diameter of more than one meter suddenly crashed toward him .
"Boom!"
Lu Sheng swatted away the iron ball, and it crashed into the faraway wall with a dull thud .
Lu Sheng rode on the reaction force, and landed softly on the side of the trap .
It was only now that he realized that he was no longer in the classroom he'd been in just now . Instead, he was in a hidden chamber .

This hidden chamber was completely pitch-black, with a window above him . There was only a single door in front of him among the four walls of the chamber .
A little boy stood at the door . He was looking at him from the shadows of the moonlight .
When the little boy noticed that Lu Sheng had seen him, the little boy turned around and ran .
Lu Sheng quickly gave chase .
He dashed out of the room, and noticed that there was a pitch-black crevice whose depth he could not estimate .
Lu Sheng had wanted to halt when a huge force suddenly pushed him out from behind .
"Fuh…"
Without anything to hold on to, Lu Sheng dropped into a freefall .
The stone wall of the cliff shot past his eyes . The wind roared in his ears . The ice-cold, bone-piercing airflow kept assaulting him through the openings in his clothes .
He did not know how long he had been falling .
"Bam!"
Finally, Lu Sheng's body touched the bottom . He crashed heavily into a hard boulder .
The boulder seemed to have been hit by a huge impact . It suddenly split open, and its pieces rolled to the sides .
Lu Sheng did a somersault . An ordinary person would have had their bones completely crushed from the fall . However, he was unscathed .
He got back up to his feet from the floor . Lu Sheng looked upward, but could see nothing above the cliff . He did not even know where he had fallen off from .
"This place…" Lu Sheng looked to his left and right . He was completely at a loss as to where he was right now .
Behind him was a vast, boundless grayish ocean . The only piece of land was the cliff before him .
Ice-cold, bone-chilling wind roared all around him .
"I should head back first . " He looked to his left and right . He held onto the protrusions on the cliff before him, and started climbing upward quickly .
A few minutes later, Lu Sheng was once again standing atop the cliff . It was then that he saw a wooden door before himself .
The wooden door was open . The scene behind it was the classroom, which he'd been in just moments ago .
He quickly walked toward the classroom's door . This time, Lu Sheng was careful . He stood at the door and looked into the classroom carefully .
"You are all individuals gifted by God's grace . You are all talented people . The ritual will increase your glory . It is the key to your ascension into heaven after the death that you've been waiting for . " A gentle and friendly female voice could be heard from the classroom .
"Come now… All you have to do is draw a blade lightly across your necks . Don't be afraid . It's the same as falling asleep . This is our right contribution for our God…"

"Come here, children . Do you see God's image? Look at Its hand, look at Its eyes, look at Its… Ryan! What are you looking at?!"
The gentle female voice suddenly rose in pitch .
"Dammit, Ryan . You dare disrespect God . Men, dig his eyes out!"
"No! I won't do it again! My lady, I won't do it again!" The little boy's cries were accompanied by the frightened panting of the other children until a sharp wail ended abruptly .
Lu Sheng's vision blurred again . He had returned to the initial classroom .
The black-haired little boy stood near before him .
"Boom!"
The outside of the classroom suddenly burned . A great fire suddenly materialized, and ignited an entire floor of the small building .
Lu Sheng could hear the startled cries of Luo Di and the others as they hurried down the stairs .
However, he ignored them . He stayed where he was silently . He looked at the little boy before him .
The fire blazed and ignited the base of his trousers and his shoes . It started burning his feet, and Lu Sheng's body was quickly engulfed in flames . He completely turned into a man of fire .
"Havva… itallié… Mion…" The little boy slowly opened his mouth . He was speaking in an alien language .
As he spoke, he started to take slow steps toward Lu Sheng .
He raised his right hand, and his fingers turned into five sharp black spikes .
"Pcchht!"
In an instant, the spikes thrust toward Lu Sheng's chest . The sharp points of the spikes were shaking intensely . There were countless minute black spots moving about and shifting around them .
The air was shaking . The surrounding flames seemed to have cowered in fear . Under the advance of the spikes, the tongues of flames dispersed .
A blurry, giant and ferocious shadow appeared behind the little boy . It thrust forward with the little boy's movements .
"Bam!"
The spikes suddenly stabbed into Lu Sheng's chest .
They made no progress .
The little boy looked up, stunned . What he saw was the man of flames looking down at him .
"You poor child . You don't even know what power is…"
"Bam!"
With a loud bang, the little boy's chest caved in . His petite frame reeled like a cannonball, and he broke through the enclosing wall and flew out of the school . He crashed through several houses, and finally landed in a dump filled with black rubbish . He rolled along the ground, digging a deep ditch .Please download our sponsor's game to support us!
