50: Chapter 50: Friend or Foe 50: Chapter 50: Friend or Foe Suddenly engulfed by darkness, panic erupted inside the bus.
Lu Zixun, who had transformed back to his original form, was tightly held in Long Ya’s arms, who was also very scared at the moment.
Feeling Long Ya’s gently trembling body, Lu Zixun placed his tail on her arm and stood up to whisper in her ear.
Lu Zixun slowly said, “Don’t be afraid, I will protect you.”
“Ding—Long Ya’s Security Value +500.”
Long Ya slightly loosened her hold on Lu Zixun and looked at him in surprise, her eyes flickering with a questioning expression as if asking why Lu Zixun could talk.
Without explaining much, Lu Zixun extended his paw and patted Long Ya’s hand, signaling her to let go.
Letting go of his hand, Lu Zixun jumped under the seat and put on his Invisibility Cloak, leaning against Long Ya’s legs so she could still feel his presence.
With Lu Zixun’s company, Long Ya felt much more stable.
Although still puzzled about why the cat could talk, Long Ya knew this was not the time to ask.
“Everyone quiet down, it’s all right!”
Director Duan’s voice rose in the night?
The children who had just been in a state of panic now seemed to find a pillar of strength and calmed down, with only soft sobs occasionally breaking the silence.
A dull sound of the lights turning on rang out, and the inside of the bus instantly lit up.
A series of startled cries followed, as a group of masked individuals appeared in front of the bus, raising their guns with fingers on the triggers, aiming at the bus.
Not knowing what had happened, only knowing that the lights came on, Lu Zixun couldn’t help but run out from under the seat.
Jumping beside the bus window, Lu Zixun also saw the armed kidnappers.
Lu Zixun was completely baffled—what was the situation now?
Do Abnormal Creatures also use firearms to kidnap humans now?
That seemed unnecessary.
While Lu Zixun was pondering the intentions of the Abnormal Creatures, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of surprise in Director Duan’s eyes.
Lu Zixun couldn’t help but mutter to himself, could it be that this kidnapping was not done by Blood Worms, but someone else?
Just then, a person wearing a clown mask and carrying a gun walked over.
A strange voice came from beneath the mask, “Open the bus door!
Everyone, get off the bus quickly!”
Facing this situation, Blood Worm and the bus driver exchanged a glance before Director Duan nodded to the driver.
The bus driver opened the door, and Director Duan was the first to step out.
Hearing Director Duan directly asking, Lu Zixun’s confusion deepened.
It seemed they really knew each other, which was interesting.
Lu Zixun didn’t know much about the other children’s family situations.
But Zeng Haoyang hadn’t mentioned anything, so Lu Zixun could roughly conclude that these kidnappers were targeting Long Ya.
Lu Zixun’s eyes darkened, and his claws inadvertently sprang out from his paw pads—could these people be accomplices of the Abnormal Creatures?
“You don’t need to know that.”
The leader sneered and gestured to the members at the back door, “Take these two adults away!”
As soon as his words fell, two people approached Director Duan and the bus driver, ropes in hand.
Lu Zixun had thought these two abnormal creatures would fight back, after all, even if these people were armed, they wouldn’t be a match for the abnormal creatures.
Unfortunately, Lu Zixun was mistaken, as Director Duan and the driver didn’t fight back and were simply tied up with rope.
He kept his eyes on the two abnormal creatures until they were taken from the heavy truck’s cargo container by their kidnappers, and only then did Lu Zixun look away.
Now things had become even more confusing.
Unable to determine the identity of the kidnappers, Lu Zixun couldn’t judge whether they were friends or foes.
However, since they came for Long Ya, Lu Zixun’s eyes darkened a bit; he just needed to take Long Ya away.
This heavy truck couldn’t stop him, Lu Zixun.
Just as Lu Zixun was about to activate his superpower to grow larger and take Long Ya away, the masked kidnappers suddenly cleared a path.
A woman with a shapely figure came walking down the opened path.
The moment he saw the woman, Lu Zixun inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity—
But he couldn’t remember where he had seen this woman before.
Hearing Long Ya’s voice, Lu Zixun looked at her in surprise.
The Teacher Guo mentioned by Long Ya was likely Guo Xin’er.
But how could Guo Xin’er possibly appear here?
She was just an ordinary female teacher.
When the woman removed her mask and tossed her flowing hair, Lu Zixun was completely stunned.
It really was Guo Xin’er—what was going on here?
Everyone on the vehicle was from class 4, grade 3, who all knew Guo Xin’er.
But in this situation, none dared to call her by name, their eyes filled with confusion and fear.
After handing her mask and gun to someone beside her, Guo Xin’er made a gesture to lower them.
The earlier kidnappers switched their guns to safety and pointed them at the ground.
As she stepped onto the bus with leisurely strides, Guo Xin’er looked around the bus and gently smiled.
“Sorry, students, for scaring you.
Seeing this woman, still the gentle and kind Teacher Guo they remembered, the frightened children began to sob and ran towards her.
Driven by these emotions, the bus quickly descended into tears.
Long Ya’s little nose twitched, her eyes slightly red.
Glancing at Long Ya, Lu Zixun suddenly thought that he should have come out earlier.
No matter how mature Long Ya acted normally, she was still only a nine-year-old child.
Softly calling into Long Ya’s ear, Lu Zixun lifted his paw and wiped away the tears falling from Long Ya’s eyes onto her face.
Without saying anything to Long Ya, Lu Zixun, wearing the invisibility cloak, got up and leaped onto a shelf.
His tail peeked out from the invisibility cloak and waved in a spot where Long Ya could see, then he tucked it back in.
Guo Xin’er seemed to be here to protect Long Ya now.
But Lu Zixun was still uncertain and thought it better to stay hidden and observe.
After helping the children off the bus, Guo Xin’er, looking at the crying children, felt a headache coming on.
“Madam, who exactly does the Blood Worm intend to target this time?”
The earlier speaker, who had also removed his mask, was an old man with a face weathered by time.
“Not sure; just protect them for now.
Have you contacted sto?”
Before the old man could finish, a dull thudding sound came from the top of the cargo container.
