Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 121: Chapter 55 Taking You Home

As Li Yelai opened the cabinet, the glass cups that had been placed in there beforehand shattered with a loud crash.

The impact with the ground caused a shattering sound, and the glass beads that spilled out bounced back and forth on the floor, turning into a deadly melody that echoed in the quiet classroom.

Seeing this scene and hearing this loud noise,

everyone’s faces changed.

Their cell phones had received a message and, with Huang Du’s reminder, they followed the rules in the message to avoid injury from the statues.

The first rule was to please refrain from chasing or shouting inside the hall, and to remain quiet!

Hence, even if a girl cried, she suppressed it, daring not to make too much noise. Previously, a person who disbelieved had spoken too loudly and had been attacked by a statue, and was still lying on the ground in shock.

But now, with Li Yelai’s actions, a great deal of noise was made.

This caused all the statues in the room to turn their heads towards Li Yelai, no longer bound by other rules, they suddenly came to life and charged at him.

In the official analysis, the rules of Kaidan had a hierarchy, with different priorities.

The rule for these statues was to not let them leave your line of sight, because once they were not being observed, they would move swiftly to the nearest human and inflict harm.

This was their unique rule, but if a higher-priority rule was broken first,

they would no longer be bound by this unique rule.

For example, the first rule, running quickly and making loud noises.

And the second rule, making eye contact with them.

These two rules that came first had higher priority.

Thus, when Li Yelai made a loud noise, they directly attacked him.

Li Yelai had severely underestimated the malice between people.

In his mind, he had only met Huang Du a few times at school, they hardly interacted, and had never had any conflicts.

How could he have imagined that the other would use the rules of Kaidan to trap him?

In fact, from the first day, Huang Du had resented Li Yelai.

To outsiders, Li Yelai was handsome with a tall stature, dressed in expensive designer clothes, seemingly from a very affluent family.

Perfectly fitting the description of tall, rich, and handsome.

This caused him to attract quite a few girls’ attention, and Huang Du had more than once heard girls talking about Li Yelai.

More importantly, Li Yelai always had beautiful girls like Cheese by his side.

This had made Huang Du extremely jealous.

Especially when he saw Cheese entering the same room as Li Yelai from his notes,

every time he saw Cheese’s charming face, the resentment grew fiercer.

He wished he could replace Li Yelai immediately.

The reason he chose those young and beautiful girls to enter the school was to attract their attention in the Kaidan, eventually fulfilling his purpose,

not for some rich second-generation guy to flirt with!

He believed that the reason nobody chose him was solely because they hadn’t seen his good qualities, blinded by money and appearances.

If he could just show his true self in the Kaidan, rescuing these panicked girls, he would definitely win their hearts.

Be it the suspension bridge effect or the hero saving the beauty,

thoroughly understanding all rules of Kaidan and the countermeasures, even knowing the secret rules unknown to others,

he was in an invincible position.

Now, after the Kaidan had begun, with the trump cards in his hand, he planned to directly kill off Li Yelai.

He had already set a trap in the cabinet, and the person who opened the cabinet would doubtlessly become the target of the statues.

Therefore, he hid his jealousy and hatred, tricking Li Yelai into opening the cabinet.

What’s the use of being handsome? Can it make the statues not attack you?

What’s the use of having money at home? Can it come to protect you now?

Even if everyone escaped the Kaidan in the end, the responsibility would not fall on him, it would just be Li Yelai’s bad luck.

Watching the statues charging towards Li Yelai, the students were extremely frightened, yet they dared not scream, desperately covering their mouths.

Meanwhile, Huang Du, from an angle they couldn’t see, showed a smile full of malice towards Li Yelai.

...

On the other side, Li Yelai came to his senses amidst the astonishment.

His gaze swiftly passed over Huang Du, and he understood, he had been deceived.

The other had harbored malice against him, and believing he held the winning cards, he no longer intended to keep hiding.

Was Huang Du the mastermind behind this? Or perhaps one of them?

And who knew, was this the effect of ”You Must Meet Strong Enemies”?

Thinking this, Li Yelai immediately turned and ran rapidly out of the classroom door.

Within the rules, the corridor lit with a green light was akin to a safe zone.

If he could make it there, he wouldn’t have to confront these foes. After all, he didn’t know the strength of the others and Li Yelai wanted to avoid battle as much as possible.

The next second, four statues smashed the chairs blocking the way and rushed out of the classroom, quickly pursuing Li Yelai.

This made Huang Du’s smile even more sinister.

”Now, you’re finished!”

In the art museum Kaidan, running isn’t allowed. Otherwise, it would attract more abnormalities.

It could even bring in the patrolling ’security guards.’

That was the most powerful abnormality in the art museum. Watching more and more statues running past the exterior,

Huang Du laughed heartily.

Those rich second-generation guys, suffering in front of him,

what could be more thrilling than that?

He was even already fantasizing about what would happen after Li Yelai was severely injured or even dead.
