I'm drawing an action-packed anime within a depressing one!

He was shocked.

I grass!

Someone is drawing comics within comics!

...

the other side.

In the comics.

After his energy was depleted, He Zhou began to listen to the lecture.

While listening to the lecture, I kept hearing notifications that my popularity was increasing.

To He Zhou's surprise...

Surprisingly, a small group of new users started collecting this item today, contributing to its popularity.

[Popularity increased by 2.4 points]

[Popularity increased by 2.4 points]

The overall popularity score has been rising from 63 points to over 75 points.

Such a large-scale increase usually only occurs when new readers appear, bringing about a unified surge in popularity.

When relying on older comic book readers, it's relatively slow.

"It's seventy-five o'clock."

"Then we should reach 100 points soon."

He Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.

Judging from this trend, I should be able to accumulate some points by next week. When "The Legend of Nezha" ends and "Havoc in Heaven" starts airing, I can see how it goes and exchange them for a new ability.

...

Since it was a course on "Basic Knowledge and Anecdotes," the teacher happened to be talking about the irregular selection process for candidate teams in a league.

“The candidate team league selection is our most important task. Our eight schools will select a team to represent our island in special areas.”

"And now there is only one and a half years left until the ten-year deadline."

“The candidates selected through the league will receive resources from the entire island and inherit those resources from the previous team.”

The homeroom teacher paused here, and then, whether to comfort or not, added, "Just listen to this, everyone. There's no need to prepare anything special. Your tolerance is far too low."

"Besides... being ordinary isn't necessarily bad."

After mentioning the candidate team league selection, I casually brought up the previous team again.

“Our previous principal, Principal Zhang, was one of the members of the team that represented our island last time.”

When Principal Zhang was mentioned, even the homeroom teacher became more talkative.

Although it was just a few words, one could still sense the principal's terrifying strength from her words, and the homeroom teacher's eyes were full of admiration.

But He Zhou suddenly felt something was strange.

and many more.

Five years ago, wasn't No. 8 Middle School not yet built? So he came from another school?

The old principal shouldn't be that old, so why did he retire?

We're doomed!

This is a world derived from comics, there must be something wrong with it!

The cleaning will be done next Sunday...

He Zhou quickly turned to Lu An and asked, "Hey! Dude! Where are we cleaning next weekend?"

...

Lu An raised his eyelids slightly, his tone rather nonchalant.

"A place full of stories and mysteries."

Speak like a human.

"The old campus."

Lu An paused for a moment: "The old principal is in the old campus. He blocked the passage between the old campus and this place two years ago."

Just now.

A school-wide announcement came on.

Following joint discussions among eight schools, a cleaning plan for the old campus of No. 8 Middle School has been approved, and the cleaning operation will begin next Saturday.

Oh, the cleaning plan.

At first, He Zhou didn't think much of it, until he suddenly remembered...

Wait.

Eight schools jointly discussed the matter?

Why wasn't there such a big commotion last week?

When something is not normal, it means that something is not normal.

He Zhou felt this very strongly.

Finished!

Danger! ...

Chapter 60 Danger! Help! (Please continue reading)

When the school's loudspeaker broadcast this, the homeroom teacher's expression changed.

She remained silent for a while, and then began to talk about the old headmaster.

The former principal had already tested the load-bearing capacity thirteen years ago and found it to be at an unprecedented level, using almost all of the school's resources.

He was also one of the seven members of a small team whose name was known throughout Kirishima ten years ago, and they eventually became a seeded team in the candidate team league selection.

The homeroom teacher's face shone with pride as she recounted what happened back then.

Five years ago, the former principal was jointly appointed by seven schools and led a group of students to establish our No. 8 Middle School.

"It's just a pity that an accident happened at the old campus two years ago."

When the homeroom teacher mentioned this accident, there was a hint of pity in his eyes: "Some students went missing in this area."

"For the safety of the remaining students, the principal personally sealed off the area and has been waiting here for the students to return."

The homeroom teacher paused, then immediately added, "Of course, but so much time has passed now, and the fluctuations and anomalies in the school's tests have decreased, so everyone can rest assured."

The other students heard this.

Surprisingly, there were no pessimists; some who knew about the old principal's deeds even admired him.

"I heard that Principal Zhang is very conscientious and responsible. He stayed there because he couldn't accept the disappearance of a group of the best students."

"Just missing, that's normal."

"Then why do we need to clean it now?"

"The old principal must have come to terms with it. He can't just shut himself off for the rest of his life. It's been two years, what's there to be upset about?"

...

After the homeroom teacher finished speaking, she began to arrange the cleaning.

She glanced at the list and at the situation at Mingde Garden last time, and her brows relaxed a little.

"Students who participated in the last cleaning activity must participate in this cleaning activity."

"Alright, that's all for today's old news lesson. Everyone else can go home. The few of you who are going to clean up, please stay. The night patrol team will come over later to give you a map of the old campus."

The other students got up to leave, but now that He Zhou had advanced several levels, someone passing by seemed to know he was afraid of dying and offered a word of comfort.

"The old principal is very capable."

"It's been so long, it must be even more advanced by now. The old campus is just sealed off, but people walk there every day and there are no problems passing by."

...

Also.

I pass by every day and there's really not much going on.

It sounds like there shouldn't be any major problems.

Otherwise, how could the school dare to let them go?

Just as He Zhou was about to breathe a sigh of relief, still somewhat skeptical, he saw several comments from comic book readers pop up.

[This doesn't seem dangerous at all. Since the old headmaster is so capable and still alive, what could possibly happen to him?]

[See the picture? See Tian Xiaoxi's excited face? Do you believe there's no danger or that I'll win a hundred million?]

The image shows a chat reply from Tian Xiaoxi in a comic book reader group.

[Tian Xiaoxi: The plot of the old campus? There are only two words to describe it! Full of twists and turns! Exciting and captivating!]

"..."

He Zhou's expression instantly turned numb.

It’s over.

It's dangerous!

This time it's really dangerous!

What kind of incredible skill could make her utter the four words "spectacular"?

...

What are the highlights of Tian Xiaoxi?

So no one has to die?

I don't know what the old principal looked like.

But he still knew what kind of person Tian Xiaoxi was.

He Zhou's heart jumped into his throat.

I need to gather some information this week, at least to find out how capable those students are and how they disappeared.

I always felt that the school's explanation was vague.

Is this reliable or not?!

But He Zhou thought, surely the school wouldn't go that far?

Hesitantly, I took out my paintbrush and paper.

I feel so insecure.

Let's draw a few pictures instead!

...

In the comic "Red Lotus Demon Child Havoc in the Sea".

Taiyi Zhenren had some doubts in his heart. Logically speaking, the dragons shouldn't have made a move before they had obtained the Jade Elixir.

Surprisingly...

There was a huge dragon claw print at the scene.

Then they suddenly remembered that Ao Run in the Dragon Clan seemed to know the Sky-Splitting Claw.

"The Dragon King of the East Sea has betrayed us?"

They came to a surprising conclusion.
