CHAPTER 1077: CHAPTER 505: THE FIRST PERSON TO HAVE A PROBLEM

"Let’s go, we need to find Old Lu! Bring the book to him, and while we’re at it... report a very serious new discovery," Jin Jiuyao said in a lowered voice.

"What a coincidence, I also have some new discoveries," Chen Xue nodded solemnly.

So the two returned some of the books Jin Jiuyao was holding to the shelf, intending to leave the book area with only "Dream of the End" and "Reflection of the North Star" in hand.

But just as Chen Xue turned to leave, her left hand suddenly swung uncontrollably, knocking a book off the shelf.

Confused, Chen Xue looked at her hand, then curiously at the book that had fallen to the floor, walked over, and bent down to pick it up.

As if drawn by some force, she instinctively flipped the book to the front.

This was an extremely old book, with a thorny wreath similar to the one on the Student ID card, like some kind of shackle. The cover featured a sneering angel with its face covered by its hands, but as Chen Xue looked at the cover, the sneering angel’s hands suddenly moved, revealing its petrified eyes, staring directly at Chen Xue.

Chen Xue’s entire being was already tense, and in those eyes staring at the sneering angel, the image of the angel was starkly imprinted. Simultaneously, in her ear,

[Jeg har...sett... deg (I... see... you)!!]

...

Jin Jiuyao returned to the lecture room with the two books, proudly placing "Dream of the End" and "Reflection of the North Star" in front of Lu Zhao and Chen Bing.

"Old Lu, look at what this is!"

Lu Zhao moved his gaze from the map to the books, and the next moment, couldn’t help but exclaim, "How did you get these?"

Jin Jiuyao chuckled, "Kindred spirits are hard to find!"

"Speak plainly!" Lu Zhao criticized.

Jin Jiuyao quickly shrank his neck and recounted the previous events in detail, suddenly remembering something, he quickly said, "Right, Old Lu, I just discovered a problem!"

Lu Zhao said, "Just say it straight."

Jin Jiuyao then said, "I found that Xiao Zi actually doesn’t understand these books at all!"

Lu Zhao was a bit puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Jin Jiuyao said in a lowered voice, "I just made up something using the book title ’Dream of the End,’ and he believed it all! He knows nothing about many matters, not even being able to distinguish my lies!"

Lu Zhao’s expression turned serious upon hearing this, "What you said is indeed worth pondering!"

Jin Jiuyao nodded, "Oh, and Chen Xue has something she wants to tell us... eh, where is Chen Xue?"

Chen Bing’s face changed slightly.

"This is bad!"

She muttered, then like an arrow leaving the bowstring, shot out of the lecture room toward the book area.

"Little Xue!"

She rushed to Chen Xue’s side, shaking her in worry.

At this moment, Chen Xue was holding a book, her whole being frozen like stone, her eyes staring intensely at the pages, unaware of what she was looking at.

When Chen Bing shook her, Chen Xue suddenly shivered, then mechanically turned her head towards Chen Bing, her dim eyes appearing like stone beads, and deep within her gaze, the sneering angel flashed by with a sinister smile.

Chen Bing was startled by this look, instinctively taking a step back, a chill running down her spine, momentarily speechless.

And Chen Xue gradually returned to normal, as the reflection of the sneering angel faded from her eyes, the stone-like grayness also receded like the tide.

Then she finally inhaled sharply, gradually coming back to consciousness, breathing heavily and indistinctly.

"Huff—huff, h-Huff, huff, huff..."

"I... sister, what just happened to me?!"

Chen Bing didn’t know what to say, simply silently watching her sister.

For some reason, at this moment, Chen Xue made her feel unfamiliar for the first time, and the intuitive connection between the twins became incredibly thin.

"You... let’s go back to find Old Lu first," Chen Bing said slowly.

"Uh... okay, okay!" Chen Xue said, following Chen Bing.

Chen Bing’s face changed, "Why are you still holding onto that book?"

Chen Xue paused, then realized her hand was still tightly gripping the book featuring the sneering angel’s smile, only now the book had turned to stone.

Imperial Decree!

Yin Book!

A chill rose from Chen Xue’s feet, coursing through her body, making her feel colder and causing her to tremble uncontrollably.

She tried to let go of the book, but her left hand felt like it wasn’t hers, tightly holding onto the book.

"You!"

"I-I can’t let go!" Chen Xue said in terror, using her right hand to pry open her left, until her fingers released the book, which dropped to the floor.

Such a frightening scene made the twin sisters panic, prompting them to quickly flee the book area, heading towards Lu Zhao and Jin Jiuyao.

Meanwhile, Lin Yi left his seat and headed towards the classroom door...

Chen Bing and Chen Xue did not notice Lin Yi’s actions and hurriedly arrived in front of Lu Zhao.

Seeing the "Dream of the End" and "Reflection of the North Star" placed before Lu Zhao, Chen Xue’s face changed dramatically, she immediately tried to grab the two books.

"Little Xue, what are you doing!" Lu Zhao quickly grabbed the books, questioning Chen Xue.

Chen Xue spoke in terror, her voice trembling, "Don’t look! Don’t look at those books! Those books contain the sneering angel!"
