His sight went dark and it seemed that something smashed towards him. In the next second, he was pulled away by Shen Yuan who was constantly staring at him.

Xiao Tangqiu looked down with lingering fear. It turned out that it was an inbox as big as a person at the door of the office. If he was hit by this iron gadget, he would have gotten a concussion even if he didn’t die.

Moreover, the tremor continued, becoming more and more intense.

“Earthquake?” He reacted quickly and looked at the others.

Xue Junli frowned, “The magnitude of the amplitude should be an earthquake, and it should be a pretty widespread large earthquake…”

This was definitely not a small earthquake that would end with tremors. Under this violent shaking, the entire teaching building seemed to wobble and bursts of screams erupted all over. Obviously there were students injured due to the violent shaking.

Suddenly a terrible feeling rose in Xiao Tangqiu’s heart, “I have a very bad feeling! We need to quickly get out of here! Head to the open ground!”

As soon as Xiao Tangqiu’s voice fell, the entire teaching building shook violently and large cracks appeared on the walls, floor, and ceiling.

Hedgehog-head yelled, “No! Mei is still inside!”

He looked into the office with trepidation to see that the girl was cleverly hiding under a desk and uninjured. He wanted to quickly rush in to save her.

Xiao Tangqiu was a little anxious. Then, without knowing why, he suddenly had an impulse, “Go! Let’s save people, too!”

Xue Junli said coldly, “It’s too late, if we don’t leave the building might collapse on us.”

Xiao Tangqiu gritted his teeth, “…Just trust me this time!”

Tang Mianmian immediately shouted, “I will go with you!”

Shen Yuan humphed, obviously unhappy with Tang Mianmian taking a step ahead, “I will go too.”

Seeing that Shen Yuan was also going, Xue Junli could only agree, “…Alright, quickly then.”

Hedgehog-head desperately tried to open the office door, but there was something blocking the door, making it impossible for him to open the door smoothly.

Just as he was sweating profusely, Duan Hongzhen sneered, “Back off, let me.”

Duan Hongzhen took out his knife and slashed it at the door lock. Crack, the door lock was broken.

He pushed the door and found that the door was still motionless, so he pushed harder. This time the door was successfully pushed open, smoke and dust billowed out from the open door.

“Mei! Mei!” Hedgehog-head rushed towards the girl under the desk, “I’m here to save you! Let’s go!”

The girl hid under the desk and looked up at hedgehog-head timidly, “Who are you?”

Hedgehog-head scratched his head, “You may not know who I am, but I have been paying attention to you for a long time…”

Xiao Tangqiu urged, “There is no time for confessions! Hurry up!”

Hedgehog-head said quickly, “There is no time to explain! Come with me!”

Mei bit her lip and looked at hedgehog-head pitifully, “But… but my leg…”

Xiao Tangqiu looked down at Mei’s leg that was hidden under the desk and saw that it had a wound big enough to see bone. It bled out continuously. It was probably injured when the ceiling collapsed just now.

Hedgehog-head said quickly, “It’s okay! I’ll carry you!”

Mei hesitated, “But…”

Hedgehog-head turned around and squatted down by the desk, urging, “No buts! Get on! Or we will all die here!”

Mei gritted her teeth, crawled out of the desk, and got on hedgehog-head’s back.

Hedgehog-head carried Mei on his back and rushed out of the office.

Xiao Tangqiu and the others looked at each other and also rushed out. As soon as they left the office, the tremors came again and the entire teaching building shook violently.

Another burst of screams came from all around and Mei paled, “What… what’s happening?”

Hedgehog-head gritted his teeth, “It’s a big earthquake! But it doesn’t matter! I will definitely be able to save you!”

He rushed down the stairs with Mei on his back, even forgetting the existence of Xiao Tangqiu and others. Xiao Tangqiu hurriedly followed.

Hedgehog-head was either physically very developed or he had exploded with potential in such a desperate situation. Even though he was carrying a girl on his back, he took steps on the ground like he was flying. Xiao Tangqiu, a specially trained person, almost couldn’t keep up.

Along the way, they encountered countless students who were injured. Most of them were injured by falling objects caused by the big earthquake. There were also stampede accidents caused by crowding while escaping. Screams and cries followed one after another. The hedgehog-head carried a girl on his back and rushed all the way down the stairs, dodging violent shaking several times on the way, and finally rushed to the first floor in one breath.

With the light of hope just before her eyes, Mei, who was pale, let out a sigh of relief, “Go to the playground! Now only the open space is safe!”

Her words were reasonable and there was no problem at all, but hedgehog-head’s face changed and he protested loudly, “No! Can’t go to the playground!”

Xiao Tangqiu was taken aback for a moment, “Why?”

Hedgehog-head shook his head frantically, “No! We can’t go to the playground!”

Xiao Tangqiu subconsciously felt something was wrong. Just after their group rushed out of the teaching building, the teaching building was finally overwhelmed by the tremors and collapsed!

“Get down!”

As soon as Duan Hongzhen’s voice fell, Xiao Tangqiu was thrown to the ground by Shen Yuan. The next moment, a loud noise sounded!

After a wave of screams, there was no other sound.

Countless students and teachers who had not had time to escape were buried in the collapsed teaching building.

After the loud noise, Xiao Tangqiu and the others fell into a long silence and Mei began to softly cry.

Hedgehog-head murmured, “Let’s go… Let’s leave here… Let’s go home…”

He picked up Mei again and was about to turn around and leave, but at this moment, a voice suddenly rang, “Yoji… Yoji… Where are you going?”

Hedgehog-head froze and turned around. He saw his companion who had been separated from him earlier lying on the ground covered in blood…

Xiao Tangqiu’s eyes widened. Hedgehog-head’s companion was lying on the ground with blood on his face, crawling in their direction with difficulty, on the verge of death, and said angrily, “Yoji… you are abandoning us… to go where…”

Hedgehog-head muttered to himself in disbelief, “How can this be? How is this possible…”

Hedgehog-head’s companion got closer and closer, and more and more blood flowed out of him, “You’re abandoning us… to go where? Why didn’t you save me… why didn’t you save us…”

Hedgehog-head’s face changed drastically and he gritted his teeth, “I will come back to rescue you! After I save Mei, I will come back to rescue you immediately!”

His companion giggled and blood slowly trickled from his mouth, “You’re lying…”

Hedgehog-head yelled, “I won’t lie to you! I will definitely come back to save you!”

“But…”

His companion continued, “But… we are all already dead…”

That person shed lines of blood and tears as he talked. Soon, his nose, mouth, and ears all ooze with blood. Then, his head deflated like a suddenly leaking balloon, and he died with his seven orifices bleeding.

Hedgehog-head took a few steps back in horror while Duan Hongzhen stepped forward to take a look, “Tsk, completely dead.”

“Dead… he is dead…”

Hedgehog murmured in disbelief, obviously unable to accept the fact that his companion who was still alive not long ago died in front of him.

“Yeah… he’s dead… so he’s dead…” Mei, who was lying on his back also mumbled to herself, “I am dead too, so we are all dead…”

“No! Mei!”

Hedgehog-head turned his head and saw that the girl on his back suddenly tilted her head.

He quickly put the girl down, only to see that the girl was already dead.

“Mei…”

He sat down on the ground in disbelief, “No, no… We clearly almost escaped to safety… I clearly almost rescued you from here…”

At this moment, Kisaragi who had been silent the entire time, said coldly, “She is just a dead soul who was trapped here and did not know that she died. The resentment is not too strong so once she found out that she is dead, she dispelled her resentment by herself and went to her next life. Even if you rescued her, she already died a long time ago.”

Hedgehog-head spoke in disbelief, “How could… she was clearly still alive… she was clearly alive just now…”

Xiao Tangqiu suddenly spoke, “If we hadn’t suddenly trespassed, according to the original path of fate, you did not find her, she was trapped in the office, and then when the school building collapsed in the earthquake… she would die in the collapsed teaching building.

“Mei died a long time ago… Maybe she wasn’t even called Mei… After all, this was just a name I just picked up.

“Perhaps, even you are dead?”
