The guy in front of him does look normal when looking at just one side, but when the whole face was seen, it’s obvious that he couldn’t be human anymore.
One side of the guy he hadn’t seen was actually blotched with black marks that seem to be etched in ink, as it is even slowly dripping onto the guy’s school uniform.
The left eye of the man also wasn’t normal because it’s also completely black without any eyeballs at all, unlike his right eye, which looks completely normal.
The guy also had a ferocious expression as he was shouting at them, looking for Lenny.
His face was good on one side and bad on the other half, and with the additional ferocious expression, it just made the guy even scarier.
But they didn’t bother spending more time looking at the guy and quickly started to run, because after the guy finished shouting, he was quickly moving towards them, so they had to run.
While following Ren’s lead, Eli still looked back to check on the guy; fortunately, the guy clearly had an issue with his movements, because the guy who looked extremely fit couldn’t catch up to them at all and was running slowly towards them.
With the guy’s slow movements, Eli noticed that it seemed that the right and left foot of the guy wasn’t even at the same length, so it’s hard for the guy to move fast.
However, even though the guy couldn’t catch up to them, they didn’t slow down and still continued running while also observing their surroundings.
Their surroundings further confirmed that they weren’t in the same time or school any longer, because the decorations in the hallway are different from before.
It still has the same structure as before, but some items weren’t present or were changed to other items, and it’s also the same with the decorations, as they weren’t the same as before.
Ren was clearly leading them somewhere; however, when they turned into a corner, the environment around them suddenly changed, and they had to stop to avoid bumping into others.
They were obviously running in a hallway that only had dim lights, as the lights in the hallway weren’t turned on and they were only relying on the light from outside, but it’s also already getting dark, so the hallways were also very dim. Find the original chapter at NovelPing.
However, now, just after they turned to run in a corner, their surroundings had suddenly changed.
Eli quickly observed everything around him, and it was clear through the windows that it was currently daytime, and there are a lot of students roaming around, which means that it’s currently break time.
But even though it’s daytime, and they were seeing people wearing school uniforms, it’s still unsettling.
The people around them were chatting normally, and what they were chatting about were all normal things that could be heard from students, like their previous activities, what food they wanted to eat, what they’ll do after school, etc., and they could even hear some laughter.
However, everything is still unsettling because those people who were wearing school uniforms and chatting normally don’t actually have any changes in their expressions.
Those people were talking and laughing without any change in their expressions at all, and the way they were even moving was actually mechanical, which is obvious in how they walk and how some were chewing what they’re holding mechanically.
There’s obviously nothing reflected in their eyes and expression, but the way their voices were projected still seemed to be a joyous and casual conversation of students.
They were still in the hallway, so Eli quickly looked at Ren, and Ren also nodded and started leading them away.
They even had to pull Sean and Bran away because those people were obviously not right.
They only stopped when they reached the garden with a lot of scattered benches.
Eli quickly pushed Sean and Bran to one of the nearby benches, as they’re still trembling and obviously have pale faces.
“Wh-what’s going on? We were clearly traveling in a dark hallway, but just when we turned through a corner, the scene was suddenly different. And those people are really scary,” Sean said while obviously catching his breath from walking too fast. New chapters come out on novelping dot com first.
Bran, who was beside him, also nodded and said with a trembling voice, “Th-they don’t even have any change in expression, but they’re talking about something very normal.”
“Eli, is the phone you’re holding working?” Ren asked.
“Nope, it stopped working as soon as the night changed to day,” Eli said while showing the phone screen, which was still stuck at 7:11 pm.
Then, he also opened his phone, which was still stuck at 12:21 pm, and showed it to them.
“So, we entered another timeline again, because I just saw the wall clock and it shows 10:11 am,” Eli said, as he glanced at the wall clock in the hallway while they were going to where they currently are.
“Most likely, and it’s currently break time for the students here. Now, we have to know how we can go back to reality, which doesn’t have any weirdness. We also have to search for other students or teachers that might have also entered this place beside us,” Ren said.
“Yeah, it looks like we’ll have to search somewhere, but luckily, it seems that this place is still the original school; I just don’t know at what point in time it is,” Eli said.
“Indeed, most of the buildings were still the same, but based on the places that we have seen, this school is in the past, as they still have older models of the things we have in reality. This daytime is clearly also at an older date compared to the nighttime, which we were in before,” Ren said.
“Yes, this timeline indeed seems to be even older, but the difference in time shouldn’t be too long,” Eli said in agreement.
“Mr. Randel, Mr. Arne, how did the both of you notice such a thing?” Bran asked.
