418 Chapter 418

But Lin Fan and Mo Ze Chen couldn't stay hung up on this, so they began wandering around the city, going further than they had already gone.

They went along the road looking for any signs, but they couldn't find anything in the end.

Since there was nothing else for them to do, they just followed the road to the center of the city.

Since the giant tree of light had been in the center of the city outside, perhaps there was something at the center of this city. As expected, there really was something that was in the center of this city, but it wasn't what they had expected.

Instead of another tree of light, there was a fountain that had a statue in the middle of it. It was a statue of a woman, but it wasn't Lulu from before, it was a completely different woman.

Also different from Lulu, this statue was made completely of stone and wasn't glowing or alive.

However, none of that mattered since the clue that they were looking for wasn't actually with the fountain. Rather there was a podium right in front of the fountain with the information that Lin Fan and Mo Ze Chen needed.

This podium didn't have words like the other podium in front of the tree of light. Instead, this podium had a map on it with four different points marked.

Based on the waypoints that they had just passed, they could tell that this was a map of the city they were currently in.

As for these four points, if someone was to mark them, it was clear that there must be something special there. Perhaps it was the chosen trial that Lulu had mentioned before.

Looking at this map, all the points that were marked were all equidistant from each other and right at the center of them was the fountain that they were currently at. That definitely had to mean something…

Still, this was the only clue that they had for now, so they could only slowly go to each point and find out what it meant.

So the first one that Lin Fan and Mo Ze Chen chose was the one that was to the north of them. This was the one that was in the exact direct opposite direction of the entrance they had come in, so they chose that way so they could explore more of the city.

However, there wasn't much of the city for them to see since the city was the exact same thing as before. All of the buildings had the same time law flowing through them, freezing them in place.

Still because everything was the same, it made it easier for them to find what they were looking for. After all, there was only one thing that was different from the other buildings around, which was a building that looked like a school inside of the square in the middle of the buildings.

In front of that building that looked like a school, there was a podium that was placed right in front of the entrance.

Lin Fan and Mo Ze Chen came over and read what was written on it, "To find what you seek, go into the past and eliminate the ghosts that hide there."

Mo Ze Chen immediately revealed a confused look when he read this and he asked, "Boss, what does this mean?"

Lin Fan was also confused since this really didn't mean anything to him, but there was something special that only he could read at the bottom of the podium once again. There hadn't been anything on the podium that was in front of the fountain, but there was one here.

At the bottom of this podium, there was a single word that read "Pen".

Lin Fan was even more confused as to what this meant, but so far that messages that only he could see and read had guided him well, so he had no reason to doubt it.

After throwing this word to the back of his mind and making sure that he remembered it, Lin Fan headed off into the school with Mo Ze Chen following closely behind him.

The moment they went through the door and walked along the hallways of the school, the scenery around them began to change.

When they first entered the school, it looked quite dilapidated which was surprising since all the other buildings had been kept in place with time laws, remaining perfect after all these years. However, this place was the exact opposite of the buildings outside.

This place was run down to begin with, but with every single step that they took, it was almost as if time flowed backwards. Every part of this building became newer and newer until it looked like it had just been made.

But this wasn't all that happened as they walked along the corridor of the building. As they went along, they began hearing sounds around them.

When they looked around, they found that there were people who had suddenly shown up inside the various classrooms that were in this school. These people were mainly children who were sitting and listening attentively to the one adult, who was clearly the teacher standing in the front of the room giving a lesson.

As they continued along, there were kids that also appeared in the corridor that they were walking in, running in different directions, passing right by them.

Mo Ze Chen couldn't help asking, "Boss, where did they come from? Did we go back into the past?"

Lin Fan looked at the kids who ran past and walked into one of them, but right when they were about to make contact, the kid ran right through Lin Fan.

Lin Fan decided to stop moving right at the moment that the kid was inside of him and he found that everything stopped moving when he did.

Looking around at all the various kids that were around him, Lin Fan knitted his brows to think for a bit before saying, "It's an illusion."

Mo Ze Chen had also stopped when Lin Fan stopped, so he had seen everything that Lin Fan did. After seeing this, he also reached his hand out to put through one of the kids beside him and he found that his hand went right through the head of the kid. The kid didn't disappear, but his hand disappeared inside of the kid and he couldn't see it anymore. After pausing for a second, Mo Ze Chen pulled his hand back and he saw it come out of the kid like nothing had happened.

After this, Mo Ze Chen asked again, "Boss, why is there an illusion array in a place like this? Also, what about the building itself?"

Lin Fan had also been looking around when Mo Ze Chen had asked that and after a bit, he said, "The building seems to be the work of time laws, so it's actually going back in time. As for why they would put an illusion array here, what are you asking me for? Would I know that?"

Mo Ze Chen revealed an awkward smile as he realized that his question was a bit dumb. He just gave a chuckle, but he didn't say anything else.

Lin Fan didn't care about him since he had finished examining their surroundings and standing here wasn't going to do a thing. Once he was done examining the area, Lin Fan started walking down the corridor again with Mo Ze Chen following close behind him.

This hallway was surprisingly long even though the building didn't seem that big from outside. It was clear that there should be some use of spatial laws to make the area wider than it was.

As they continued along, the kids in the hallway slowly began disappearing and soon they saw a light at the end of the corridor.

When they came out of the exit of the corridor, they found that they were inside of a courtyard that was right in the center of the school. When they looked around themselves, they found that there were classroom windows all around them and they could see the kids learning inside.

But the strange thing was that not a single person noticed that they were outside the window.

That was until there was a school announcement that came on.

There was a voice that suddenly said, "Attention all students, there are guests that have arrived in the courtyard, please turn your attention to them now."

As if there was a tacit understanding, all of the students and teachers suddenly stopped their lessons to turn their heads in the direction of the window. All of them turned to look right at Lin Fan and Mo Ze Chen who were standing in the courtyard.

Seeing this scene would definitely disturb most people and that included Mo Ze Chen.

When he saw this, the first thing he did was turn to Lin Fan and ask, "Boss, what is going on here?"

But Lin Fan didn't answer him at all as he tried to find the source of the voice, but he couldn't see where it was coming from at all. There were no speakers or anything that were on the walls in this courtyard.

They didn't have time to react to this as the voice then said, "Please give them our warmest welcome."

As soon as the voice finished speaking, all of the kids came to the window and opened them up as they stuck their heads out and said, "Big brothers, do you want to play?"
