Niannian boarded the plane bound for the imperial capital. The first thing she did after getting off the plane was to head straight to the Blue Sky Education Institution.
On the ground of the education institution, there were one crater after another, the marks left by the last zombie rampage.
Niannian walked directly towards the archive room.
Behind a pile of sundries, she found the fire hydrant. With a gentle turn, the wall beside it rotated 180 degrees.
This was the secret room where Xia Ji was usually kept.
Groping in the dark all the way down, Niannian immediately spotted Xia Ji tied to a pillar.
He had his eyes tightly shut. Apparently, he had fainted. Xiao Tuanzi stepped forward to check his breath. Fortunately, he was still alive.
"Is he the legendary witch doctor?"
Meng Chang looked at the half - dead Xia Ji in disbelief.
The legendary witch doctor was supposed to be a very powerful figure. He thought Xia Ji shouldn't be tied up here like a dead dog.
"Yes, Brother Meng Chang, quickly take him away. As long as he wakes up, he can take back those drugs, and my home will be safe."
Xiao Tuanzi nodded. She didn't really know how powerful a witch doctor could be. Xia Ji was the first one she had ever met.
"Okay, I'll carry him. Be careful on the way."
Presumably, before they arrived, the people of the Holy Cult had already sensed their coming. The room was in a complete mess. Scattered things were lying on the ground, and many items showed signs of being burned. This was also the reason why they didn't rummage around.
Presumably, all the useful things had been taken away as the people withdrew, leaving only Xia Ji, a living person.
They didn't know if it was because they were afraid of attracting too much attention or for some other reason, but they didn't take Xia Ji away.
It was a good thing, though. At least they didn't come in vain.
Xiao Tuanzi nodded slightly and slowly walked up the steps.
But after just a few steps, she felt a tremor from the ground.
Meng Chang thought it was an earthquake and quickly grabbed Xiao Tuanzi and rushed to the corner. But after waiting for a while, the tremor stopped.
"What's going on?"
" There seems to be some movement outside."
Niannian listened carefully. She always felt that she could hear the footsteps of many people.
But there shouldn't be so many people coming to this place.
"Brother Meng Chang, let's go up and take a look."
Niannian instinctively sensed danger. She quickly rushed up and disappeared into the archive room in a flash.
Through the glass of the archive room, she saw one crater after another on the playground. Figures were climbing out from the bottom.
Those figures were staggering, all walking towards the building where the archive room was. They looked like zombies emerging, extremely scary.
"All of them are living dead. They haven't reached the level of zombies. It seems they were all very young when they died. They seem to be the former students of this institution?"
Niannian squinted her eyes and clearly saw the outfits of the living dead below.
They were all in uniform, the standard clothing of the Blue Sky Education Institution.
Many people had died in the Blue Sky Education Institution before. One accident after another had occurred, and finally, it was forced to move away from the old campus.
The living dead wandering on the playground seemed to be the students who had died in the Blue Sky Education Institution.
The question was how these people had been turned into living dead and buried here. Didn't their relatives care?
There were a lot of questions in Xiao Tuanzi's mind, but at the moment, it wasn't the time to think about these things.
The living dead were, in a nutshell, low - level zombies. They didn't have iron - like bodies. A few Thunder Summoning Talismans could blast them into smithereens.
Don't be fooled by the large number of these living dead. They couldn't withstand a superior - level attack.
But the question was, should they do it?
"Brother Meng Chang, I have Thunder Summoning Talismans. Can I use them?"
"Yes, you can, but I think something is wrong. We all know that these living dead don't pose much of a threat to us. Everyone in the relevant department knows how to use Thunder Summoning Talismans. You, little Niannian, are really powerful. I have to admit that most people in the relevant department are not as powerful as you. But we are also the elites in the mysterious world. Even if it wasn't you who came today, but just any random member of our relevant department, even if there were twice as many living dead, they wouldn't be a cause for concern. They were busy retreating. Why would they expose these living dead in front of us?
If they were raising zombies, shouldn't they be doing it secretly? So I think there must be something else going on. Otherwise, let's search around some more. I always feel that they are trying to force us to use something with great killing power to destroy this education institution and cover up some secret."
Meng Chang was quick - witted and thought a lot. In just a few minutes, he had already thought of so many things.
Xiao Tuanzi still couldn't figure out these complicated things. Although she had the memories of her previous life, it was just a memory after all. Mentally, Niannian was still a seven - year - old child.
There was no change at all.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. But how should we search? The biggest secret buried here should be that zombie sister, but the zombie - raisers took her away. We don't know where she is now. They couldn't have buried the zombie sister back here again, could they?"
Meng Chang thought for a while and shook his head. "It should have nothing to do with that female zombie. To be honest, there are quite a few people who are interested in the old site of the Blue Sky Education Institution. This place is not remote. Because of the many accidents that happened before, many people wanted to bid for it, but our relevant department thought it was unsafe, so we've always been holding back and not selling it. But if we're sure there's no danger here, we'll definitely turn this place into a recyclable resource. Once it's sold and construction starts, that female zombie will be discovered.
If they really wanted to secretly raise a powerful zombie, they shouldn't have done it in such a prominent place. So, they say the greatest concealment is in the open, but this kind of hiding is too risky. So I think the female zombie was buried here at first to protect something. There must be something we've overlooked."
Niannian shook her head. She was really a bit dizzy from all these thoughts. But since the Sheng family had hidden something here, they must have left some clues.
Xiao Tuanzi looked at the sky and the ground. She didn't find any problems from the perspective of feng shui. Then she took out a compass from her small satchel, silently recited a spell, and searched for places with spiritual fluctuations.
With the control of the compass, as long as there was an abnormal aura, she could detect it.
But in the current situation, it was a bit difficult to detect abnormalities. There were so many living dead outside. The dampness and death - qi they emitted were mixed together, making the aura of the entire Blue Sky Education Institution extremely mottled.
Xiao Tuanzi could only try her best to calm down and search for suspicious places. She wouldn't let go of even the slightest abnormality.
