Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared

Chapter 767 - 767 767 Secret Manipulation

767: Chapter 767: Secret Manipulation 767: Chapter 767: Secret Manipulation The atmosphere is tense and oppressive, making Gu Fan’s heart pound a little faster.

He slowly takes a deep breath, then peeks out, only to find that the headless people have all vanished.

“What the heck, what’s happening?” Gu Fan hurries out, picking up his pace and searching everywhere, but can’t find them.

It had only been a short while and the headless people hadn’t moved fast.

Gu Fan furrows his brow, continuing the search, wanting to understand what place this is.

Suddenly, another strange bird call draws Gu Fan’s attention.

Gu Fan looks up to see a crow sat on a tree, curiously the crow is also looking down at him.

“Could it be?” Gu Fan recalls Lin Xi once said she could control birds with magic and could see miles away through their eyesight.

Gu Fan points at the crow, then says, “You’re not a good bird, are you?”

Suddenly, the crow spreads its wings and calls out, “Fool, fool!” before flapping its wings and flying away.

Gu Fan pauses for a moment, then his first reaction: He’s just been insulted by a bird!

This was a first in his life, it had gone too far!

Watching the crow fly deep into the dark forest, Gu Fan felt a bit incensed, secretly thinking it’s lucky this annoying bird flew away fast, otherwise he would’ve knocked it down for soup.

Suddenly, Gu Fan feels a sudden chill behind him.

He has a bad premonition and slowly turns around to find the seven headless people standing right behind him.

“No way, you guys can see without heads?” Gu Fan motions to the seven headless people, his expression somewhat embarrassed.

Should he make a run for it?

The seven headless people remain still, making Gu Fan feel unnoticed, so taking this opportunity to slip away would be for the best.

Suddenly, the sound of bells rings like a chant and the seven headless people instantly react, quickly lunging at Gu Fan.

Their manner of movement, so target-specific, it was as if they could indeed see Gu Fan.

“No way, are you guys cheating?” Gu Fan instantly runs, the seven headless people hot on his heels.

After running for a while, Gu Fan looks back and surprisingly hadn’t shaken them, though only two of the headless people were able to keep up with his speed.

Gu Fan began to wonder, should he use his combat skills to deal with them?

One of the headless people was even faster than Gu Fan, gradually catching up.

With no choice left, Gu Fan bolts towards a tree, leaps up and pushes off the trunk with both feet, using the recoil to land a kick on the catching headless person.

As the second headless person charges over, Gu Fan throws a flurry of punches and kicks, knocking them down.

It seemed these headless people were no different than regular humans in their physical abilities.

The main challenge was, since they had no heads, Gu Fan had to aim for their bodies.

The remaining headless people caught up and were also knocked down by Gu Fan one after another.

Just as Gu Fan was about to swagger off thinking the situation dealt with easily, the sound of bells rang again and the headless people stood up.

This time all seven were surrounding Gu Fan.

“No way, you guys are definitely cheating.” Gu Fan wore a bitter expression.

If those he struck could stand up again, he was sure to lose.

Hence, Gu Fan decided, the best policy is to run away.

Gu Fan tried to thread through the seven headless people, but the closest one grabbed his arm, pulling him back.

The other headless people lunged at him almost at once, their movements very uniform as if commanded by the bells.

Gu Fan was able to free himself from the headless person’s grasp and quickly back away into the dense woods, using the trees for cover and changing his position constantly.

Soon enough, the seven headless people lost track of Gu Fan and stopped their wild chase to look for him slowly.

Gu Fan hid behind a tree, catching his breath and recuperating, while thinking.

The headless people’s movements were unified, as if under the control of some force.

Each time their actions changed, the bells rang first.

Gu Fan concluded that someone was controlling the headless people with the bells.

Since Gu Fan could hear the sounds of the bells, it meant the person was not far away, they were just hiding and not letting Gu Fan easily find them.

Another question was how the person adapted to situation changes, judging circumstances, ringing bells, and controlling the movement of the headless people.

Was this person hiding in the shadows and watching with their eyes?

After resting a little while, Gu Fan felt his strength return somewhat.

Then he noticed a shapely headless person walking by.

Its gait was suggestive and reminded Gu Fan of Yang Xinran.

“That figure, that walk?” Gu Fan’s brow tightens.

After observing further, it was pretty certain, no one else has that twist in their walk, it must be Yang Xinran.

If Yang Xinran had turned into a headless person, Zhang Yang might have too.

But since they had lost their heads, was there any hope to save them?

While Gu Fan was lost in thought, a crow landed on a branch opposite him and fixed its gaze at Gu Fan.

“No way, it’s you again, you annoying bird, what do you want?” Before Gu Fan could finish his sentence, he hears the sound of the bell.

The headless people instantly turn around and charge at Gu Fan almost simultaneously.

“Got it!” Gu Fan starts running again, this time certain that someone was hiding in the shadows, using the crow to share their vision, and making judgments based on the crow’s observations and controlling the headless people with the bell.

Glancing back, Gu Fan sees the headless people relentlessly giving chase.

Although Yang Xinran was headless, her figure still caught the eyes.

Enough of that, he didn’t want to think about such nonsense.

Even if he knew how the other was operating, if he couldn’t find the enemy’s location, Gu Fan could only keep fleeing till his strength gives out and he is at their mercy.

Gu Fan must locate the enemy using the sound of the bells.

With this in mind, Gu Fan keeps running, leading the chase.

Behind him were the seven headless people, and behind them, the person controlling them with the bell.

“Alright!

Now’s the time!” Gu Fan suddenly halts and turns back.

Ignoring the obstruction from the headless people, he forces his way through, heading for the back rows with a deadly stare.

He saw it, a shadow shifting in the woods.

The enemy had indeed followed him.

Even with the help of the crow, the enemy couldn’t control the headless people with the bell once the distance was too far.

It seemed the enemy was not expecting Gu Fan to find them.

Caught off guard, they attempted to escape, frantically shaking the bell in their hands.
