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

"..."

Tian Xiaoxi and the others only realized what was happening when they heard the dial tone on the other end.

No!

What does she mean?

Was she being mocked?

...

In the comics.

He Zhou woke up the next day.

The popularity score didn't drop; instead, it rose even faster.

[Popularity increased by 2.6]

[Popularity increased by 2.6]

[Popularity increased by 2.6]

Two plot points also arrived at the same time.

[2 more story points added]

"Tian Xiaoxi really did arrange the plot."

He Zhou didn't pay much attention.

However, the speed at which his popularity increased surprised him.

This hiatus even caused a spike in popularity points? Could it be because of the criticism?

I glanced at the comments section.

The first top comment was an analysis of why the reason for the hiatus was that the blame lay with Tian Xiaoxi, not with him.

The second most popular comment was a message.

[Everyone, please stop cursing. If you keep cursing, Tian Xiaoxi will say she wants to draw the ending herself. I think we should wait patiently for Lao He's arrangements. He definitely has his own ideas. This stick might be some important plot point.]

He previously mentioned that this staff would be the weapon of the next main character, and then it appeared in Nezha, so there must be a crossover.

Everyone believed it.

[I think so too. Old He didn't seem to be planning to stop updating, so it's definitely because he thought of some important plot point that wasn't explained yet.]

[Is this a crossover comic? What's it called? I need to take a closer look to see just how important this stick is and what plot points it's connected to.]

"Everyone's noticed the collaborative comic!"

Seeing that everyone was more looking forward to the havoc in Heaven, He Zhou was satisfied.

After Tian Xiaoxi finishes drawing the stick, we still need to have her draw the character card.

I have to draw the Monkey King at each stage.

His idol deserves the very best!

Thinking of this, he got up and planned to take Jiang Dai to the meeting place.

Finally, we're about to see the true face of the sealed-off old campus.

Chapter 70 How is the principal still alive? (Stop raising him, godfathers!)

When they arrived at the entrance of the old campus, Song Zhenyu was already waiting there.

He was still holding several seals in his hand, which had just been peeled off, and he could vaguely feel energy fluctuations on the seals.

"This is a special item."

Lin Fan, who was also summoned today, lowered his voice and said, "It's an item with a special function."

"Usually, it's because they happen to overlap with something from that world, creating a special bond, and thus they possess some of the abilities from that world."

"Yes, I know that."

"So they used this to seal it before?"

"Yes, I used to see it every time I passed by."

The man with the afro muttered, "Of course, even if they don't seal it off, no one dares to go in."

He Zhou last participated in the Mingde Garden incident.

The origin of special items is very clear.

It is also clear that if this special item is left there, it will act like a nail piercing between two worlds, pulling the two worlds closer together and thus forming a special domain.

A special field will continuously affect ordinary people, allowing them to see demons and thus become vessels for them.

...

Because no one has entered for two years, the entire outer iron gate is mottled and rusty.

Looking through the iron gate, there was a huge crossroads with a massive building in the middle that looked like a grand auditorium.

To the left is the southwest corner, which is a large artificial lake. Although no one takes care of it, the lake surface looks very calm due to the frequent rain.

The area to the right of the lake is the old dormitory area, which is also the area they are cleaning today.

The dormitory area, stretching as far as the eye could see, was utterly desolate.

...

"Is it all here?"

Song Zhenyu turned his head: "Where are the things?"

"Captain, over here."

A box was handed to him by someone next to him.

The entire box is made of wood.

It looks like just an ordinary wooden box.

Although the contents of the comic haven't been taken out, readers with an "God's-eye view" perspective have already started discussing it in the comments section.

[That thing he's holding looks like the clay sculpture we got at Mingde Garden last time. Is it a special item?]

Yes, we don't know what the purpose of that clay sculpture is.

[Didn't Tian Xiaoxi say that this part was just to let Jiang Dai develop her abilities to find the old principal and students who disappeared here two years ago?]

Someone who wasn't watching the group chat couldn't help but ask: "Why was Jiang Dai sent to look for him after he went missing?"

[Because of her abilities, it seems that two years ago they tried to go to the demon world from here, but failed, and I estimate they were all probably killed.]

...

That clay sculpture from last time?

After reading these comments, He Zhou hesitated noticeably as he walked to the door, his gaze turning towards Jiang Dai.

"Did they contact you?"

"Who?"

Jiang Dai looked over with a bewildered expression, her round eyes staring at her as she ate some dried meat, her cheeks puffing out.

"At school."

No.

After she finished speaking, she thought about it carefully again: "I haven't looked for it. Cats and people are together every moment."

As soon as he finished speaking, He Zhou also realized, "Yes!"

Jiang Dai and I were together every minute of each other, so why didn't the school notify her? Could it be that something has changed in the plot?

He Zhou now has a certain understanding of this comic.

He could almost immediately guess that it was either due to a bug or because the plot of this comic world had deviated after the evolution of real-world rules.

It seems we can't let our guard down this time either.

Although the main plot is supposed to start next weekend, who knows what unforeseen events might happen.

...

The entire dormitory area was very quiet.

Song Zhenyu began to explain the precautions.

"Everyone will be working in small groups from individual classes from now on."

"This morning's main task was cleaning the old campus."

His cultivation level has reached level five. When the cultivation energy of level five is manifested externally, the entire energy is bright white and shimmering.

This clearly shows that he is currently in a very stable emotional state.

People from other classes also felt a sense of security seeing this.

"Captain Song has already reached level five?"

"With Captain Song's abilities, he should be able to handle level five exorcism-level demons."

"Yes, and since his lamp pool is so clean, there shouldn't be any danger today, right?"

The other students in the experimental classes were still holding body bags, and they breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Song Zhenyu demonstrate his strength ahead.

Everyone's mindset improved somewhat.

"All right."

"Everyone, come in with me."

...

With a creak.

The iron gate opened.

A strange smell, a mixture of rust and dampness, wafted over.

Although Song Zhenyu led the way, everyone instinctively felt something was wrong the moment they stepped through the iron gate.

I felt uncomfortable all over, and even the air felt sticky and damp. The further I went in, the more I felt that completely different cold and damp temperature.

It's as if...

Many people who visited Building 3 of Mingde Garden last time couldn't help but mutter, "Why does this feel so similar to the last time?"

"Isn't this place a bit off too?"

They glanced at it a few times.

The straight road runs north to south, and there is also a main road running east to west. At the middle intersection is a huge roundabout.

A huge building is faintly visible in the middle of the roundabout.

"That's the auditorium."

Song Zhenyu explained, "We'll all go to the auditorium next weekend."

...

There is not a single demon here.

The students in the experimental class can see a vague outline of another world.

But this area was surprisingly clean.

There wasn't even a single demon.

Everyone found it strange, but they still followed Song Zhenyu toward the old dormitory area.

"How about it?"

He Zhou could instinctively feel very uncomfortable. Although there were no demonic fluctuations, the air and the feeling of being here were completely wrong.
