Chapter 21 The Walls Have Ears

The bespectacled security guard, Zhang Kai, blocked Yang Chen's view with his body, then secretly picked up the telephone cord from the ground.

"Are you alright? Uncle Security Guard?"

Yang Chen thought Zhang Kai might have developed some other illness due to mechanical asphyxiation, so he anxiously wanted to check on him. However, he remained cautious in his heart, not rushing forward, but slowly moving around him.

When Yang Chen circled to Zhang Kai's front, he saw a twisted and eerie smile on his face.

"Not good, this guy has been controlled by the voice in the wall, he wants to kill me..."

Yang Chen's heart sank, and cold sweat instantly soaked his clothes. Without hesitation, he rushed towards the security room door.

But Yang Chen, having lost his ability, was just an ordinary child. How could his pace match that of an adult?

In just a few steps, Yang Chen was caught up by Zhang Kai, who had a ferocious look on his face.

He picked up the telephone cord in his hand, instantly strangling Yang Chen's neck, then wrapped it around several times, and began to pull hard.

"I'll let you bully my son, I'll let you bully my son, you can be buried with him, you can be buried with him..."

Zhang Kai strangled Yang Chen's neck while shouting hysterically.

The intense feeling of suffocation caused a trace of fear to rise in Yang Chen's heart. This was the closest he had ever been to death. He forced himself to calm down and look for a way to escape.

Yang Chen continuously bent his elbows and slammed them backward into Zhang Kai's soft ribs in an attempt to save himself, but his strength was too weak. The crazed Zhang Kai endured his attacks without letting go.

Yang Chen then tried to reach back and grab Zhang Kai's eyes, but his arms were too short to reach, so he could only scratch wildly at Zhang Kai's face.

But all of this was useless, and gradually Yang Chen's struggles weakened.

The arms scratching Zhang Kai's face could no longer move.

But the crazed Zhang Kai still had no intention of letting go, always tightly strangling Yang Chen's neck.

"Goodbye, my dear mother..."

"Goodbye, Shen Wei, Brother Chen Feng, Sister Zi Yue..."

"I'm really too tired, I need to rest for a while..."

Yang Chen's brain was muddled due to lack of oxygen, and his heavy eyelids gradually closed.

At this critical moment, an extremely familiar voice rang out at the door of the security room.

"Dad, stop it, he's my best friend, you're killing him..."

Zhang Kai turned his stiff neck and saw Zhang Ziliang, exhausted and out of breath, at the security room door.

"Ziliang, my good son, you're not dead..."

Seeing Zhang Ziliang, the fanaticism and eeriness in Zhang Kai's eyes gradually receded, and the clarity of reason gradually returned. The incessant, vicious voices in his ears gradually faded!

Zhang Ziliang rushed into the security room, frantically pulling at Zhang Kai's arms, trying to make him let go of Yang Chen.

But Zhang Kai's arms remained motionless.

"Dad, don't believe those things in the wall, they are all mind-controlling demons that will only drag you into the abyss. I know you love me, and you also love Mom, and we will always love you..."

The hand of the security guard Zhang Kai, which was strangling Yang Chen's neck, gradually loosened, and the fanatical and eerie look in his eyes completely returned to clarity. All the strange voices in the wall disappeared.

Looking at the scene before him, the sober Zhang Kai couldn't believe what a foolish thing he had done.

"How could it? How could this happen? Kid, are you alright?"

Zhang Kai, filled with remorse, untied the telephone cord from Yang Chen's neck, then performed CPR and artificial respiration on him.

After a long while, Yang Chen let out a slight cough, then suddenly sat up from the ground, breathing heavily, his face full of fear.

"That's great, that's great, at least I didn't make a big mistake..."

Seeing that Yang Chen was not dead, Zhang Kai finally breathed a sigh of relief. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, then knelt down to Yang Chen with a thud.

"Kid, Uncle is sorry, call the police, I will bear all the consequences..."

Zhang Kai said with a face full of remorse.

Zhang Ziliang looked at his father helplessly, then looked at Yang Chen's pale face, his lips trembling, and he didn't say anything.

After Yang Chen recovered for a while, he stepped forward and helped Zhang Ziliang's father up.

"It's okay, I won't pursue you. Doing those things wasn't your intention. I only hope that you can stick to your original intentions in the future and no longer be bewitched by those terrible things..."

"Thank you..."

"Thank you..."

Zhang Ziliang and his father, Zhang Kai, repeatedly thanked Yang Chen, but Yang Chen didn't have the mind to pay attention to them, because he found that Shen Wei had not come with Zhang Ziliang.

"Where's Shen Wei?"

Yang Chen asked coldly.

"Shen Wei was stabbed by me with a knife, he's in the dormitory now..."

Zhang Ziliang said hesitantly.

"Zhang Ziliang, go find the school doctor, Uncle Security Guard, you come with me to pick up Shen Wei, it will be too late if we delay any longer..."

After saying that, Yang Chen took the lead and ran out, followed closely by Zhang Ziliang's father.

Before he even ran to the dormitory, Yang Chen saw Shen Wei lying unconscious on the ground, with a large pool of blood beneath him.

It was unknown how long had passed when Shen Wei woke up from the hospital bed. He checked his body and found that his abdomen was wrapped in thick bandages.

At this moment, Yang Chen and Zhang Ziliang also walked in.

"It's good that you guys are okay..."

Shen Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

"The most seriously injured person here is you, right? And you still have the mind to worry about others..."

Yang Chen said sarcastically!

Shen Wei shook his head awkwardly, and Zhang Ziliang, like a child who had made a mistake, walked to Shen Wei's side again and said sorry to him!

"I told you it wasn't your fault, I ran into the knife myself. Oh, right, there's still the most important lesson today that I haven't taught you yet! This lesson is very important..."

"That's the courage to fight against evil, come with me..."

Shen Wei led Yang Chen and Zhang Ziliang secretly to the storage room and broke a few wooden mop handles.

Then, they hid in the toilet, waiting for Qian Duoduo and the others to arrive.

Sure enough, hard work pays off. Before long, Qian Duoduo led his two little followers to the toilet to smoke. Shen Wei, Yang Chen, and Zhang Ziliang walked out of the cubicles with wooden sticks in their hands.

Looking at the menacing trio, Qian Duoduo and his two followers couldn't help but show a trace of timidity.

"What do you want to do? I'm warning you, hitting people violates the rules and will get you expelled..."

"That's right, if your parents find out, you'll definitely be beaten to death when you're expelled and sent home..."

"Shen Wei, Yang Chen, Zhang Ziliang, I advise you to think twice..."

Shen Wei, leading the way with a stick over his shoulder, said:

"Zhang Ziliang, today I'll teach you the last lesson. A single punch avoids a hundred. When facing evil forces, one word: do it. Beat them until they're afraid..."
