Chapter 92: Bell

The one who had raised the question was Nie Yiyi. She hadn\'t been present during the last attack, and for someone who was solely focused on improving her own combat prowess, it was clear that she wasn\'t very studious when it came to the theoretical lessons being taught in class.

"Haven\'t you been taught this by the teachers at Layton Academy?" The middle-aged woman from the Psychic Church was interjecting once again, and she lowered the hood of her robe to reveal a very ordinary and unremarkable face that looked as if it belonged to someone around 40 years of age. "If they\'re going to initiate a large-scale psychic invasion, they\'ll find a powerful adapter to drag everyone into their psychic world, but due to the large number of people that\'ll be dragged into the psychic world at once, the fundamental makeup of that psychic world will be altered. The memories of every single one of the students at the school will impact the psychic world, so the environment of the psychic world will be infinitely approaching reality."

The woman rolled her eyes at the group from the pawn shop as she spoke, and she became even more convinced that this was just a group of students who didn\'t know even the most basic general knowledge, and that they had been sent here by May just to make up the numbers.

The representative from the southern congress could see that the two sides were about to begin bickering again, and he hurriedly interjected, "The students of Mirror Lake Primary School have participated in many fire drills in the past, and as soon as they hear the fire alarm, they\'ll make an organized evacuation toward the Mirror Lake. Inside the school building, there are a total of four levels that are dedicated to classrooms. We\'ll assign one person to protect each level, then gather all of the students beside the lake so we can protect them all in one place."

Adam felt this to be quite a reasonable plan, but at the same time, there also seemed to be something wrong with it.

Before Adam had a chance to pinpoint exactly what was wrong with the plan, Nie Yiyi raised a very good question.

"It\'s definitely going to be difficult to protect all of the students if they\'re spread out everywhere, but if we gather them together, only for the enemy to unleash a powerful large-scale attack, wouldn\'t that result in even more casualties?"

"Don\'t worry about that, I\'m a guardian class adapter!" the representative of the northern congress interjected. "My ability is to conjure up a protective barrier that can encompass a large area and protect everything within the barrier."

"Alright, in that case, this seems like a good plan."

Seeing as their ally had already spoken, Adam no longer had any objections to this proposed course of action.

After some discussion, Adam and his friends were assigned to the fourth floor. Of course, the woman from the Psychic Church was unconvinced that Adam and his friends were up to the task, so she volunteered to also be assigned to the fourth floor.

Shae raised an objection to this proposal, but it was turned down.

After all, the Psychic Church had more representatives, and they were fighting for their honor. The psychic mutant outbreak was a direct result of their negligence, and if they were to allow those psychic mutants to cause more death and suffering, then the societal pressure facing the Psychic Church would be infinitely amplified.

After arranging all of that, Adam and the others traveled to the fourth floor and began to examine its layout.

At this time of the day, all of the students were still attending classes as normal, and after making an inspection of the building, Adam had a rough idea of its layout.

"The first to fourth floors are all comprised entirely of classrooms, and the floors above are the office and administration area. The fourth floor that we\'re guarding is the highest floor of the teaching area, and there are a total of 17 classrooms on this floor. Due to the fact that we\'re going to be evacuating the children under the guise of a fire drill, no one will be taking the elevators. Instead, they\'ll all be going through this fire exit."

Adam was pointing at the manual staircase down below as he spoke.

The staircase was quite wide, and connected the fourth floor to the lower floors.

"If those psychic mutants still have some sense of logic left and haven\'t completely gone insane yet, then there\'s a very good chance that they\'ll choose to target this area in their attack. After all, all of the students will be gathered on the passageway leading to the fire exit, so if we do get attacked, we have to be extra vigilant."

"What\'s a student like you doing going around preaching like an adult? Do you think this is a game?" Everyone else in the group was already accustomed to following Adam\'s arrangements, but that didn\'t apply to the newcomer. "I\'m acting on my own."

This newcomer was none other than the middle-aged woman from the Psychic Church, and it had just been established that her name was Orster.

Her sole reason for joining this group was because she didn\'t trust these students to be able to do their job properly, so she was naturally unwilling to conform to Adam\'s instructions and insisted on acting on her own.

After completing the required arrangements, Adam didn\'t speak with Orster any further. In contrast, Shae was still occasionally bickering with her. Meanwhile, Nie Yiyi was meditating in preparation for the potential battle to come, while Hook had already brought out his filming equipment and was preparing to capture footage for his next viral video.

The internet here was already being monitored, and all communication signals would be sent to the data center to undergo a screening process.

Time slowly passed by as everyone waited for the storm to arrive.

They waited all the way until it was close to the end of the school day, but there were still no signs of an attack.

"Are they not going to come?" Hook made his way over to Adam with a disappointed expression. "I\'m not going to have any material for my next video!"

"The probability of our location being attacked wasn\'t particularly high to begin with," Adam said as he provided Hook with his in-depth analysis. "Firstly, even the information that we received may not necessarily be accurate. Even if the information is accurate, if there\'s a mole among us, that could lead to the psychic mutants calling off the attack. Even if they go through with the attack anyway, their main targets will be the major childcare centers, and it\'s not very likely that they would choose to attack the primary schools. Even if they do choose to target the primary schools, our one may not necessarily be one of the locations that they attack."

"Yeah, I guess you\'re right. The school day ends in a few minutes, and we haven\'t received any calls for reinforcements, either. It looks like..."

Before Hook even had a chance to finish, the bell signaling the end of the school day had already begun to ring.

"Well, looks like that\'s it..."

"Our job here seems to be done, but I\'m going to head to the school gate and continue to keep an eye out for... Hold on, something\'s not right!"

Adam was midway through his sentence when he detected that something was amiss.

During his week-long stint of training with Sadou, most of that time had been spent honing his telegnosis. In particular, he had spent countless repetitions training the transition back and forth between the real world and the psychic world.

Some psychic worlds infinitely approached the real world in terms of realism, but the biggest difference was how rigid psychic worlds were.

There was no sense of life in the breeze brushing over one\'s face, and the stone material of the building\'s walls felt a little insubstantial beneath Adam\'s hand. Furthermore, the second half of the bell, the last few rings, to be more accurate, sounded slightly flat and dead.

Under normal circumstances, Adam would\'ve perhaps failed to notice these minute differences, but now that he was on high alert, he immediately sensed the disturbance. Thus, he quickly attempted to invoke his anomalies, and they instantly appeared at his command, indicating that they were already in the psychic world!

"Hellhound, blast a fireball up at the sky!"

In the instant that Adam realized that they were in the psychic world, his first thought was to notify everyone else. At the moment, he was standing at the entrance of the fire exit, and after being invoked, Hellhound rushed back into the corridor before releasing an Explosive Fireball up into the sky.

Boom!

The fireball exploded up above, and the light of the fire illuminated the entire school.

With such a blatant signal, even an idiot would immediately be able to comprehend what was happening.

In the next instant, a piercing fire alarm rang out, drowning out the sound of the afterschool bell, and all of the teachers began to lead the students out of the classrooms in an orderly evacuation.

"Don\'t be in a hurry to go home, everyone! There has been a fire in the school!"

"Shane, stop running! Stay where you are, you don\'t get to go home yet!"

"Follow me to the fire exit!"
