[BL] Daily Disposable Persona

41: The King of Clouds 10

As part of their class's strategy to get a higher score in the school sports meet, usually Zong Yan and Ye JingMing were assigned to participate in different events. Zong Yan didn't play much basketball, so Ye JingMing hadn't really competed with him before.

Now Ye JingMing understood why Zong Yan was called a long-distance runner. He couldn't catch up at all.

"Don't run, Teacher Liu wants you to go to the infirmary!"

Ye JingMing chased him to the playground but really couldn't catch him. He shouted at the retreating boy, then stopped and gasped for breath.

"Damn, that kid must be nuts. If the teacher didn't ask me, I wouldn't bother to chase you."

Zong Yan turned a deaf ear. Halfway through, while running, he suddenly took out his phone and looked at it.

The time on the display was exactly 3:00 p.m. The first class of the afternoon had just ended.

His jumbled brain finally began to turn.

In about an hour... He Yuan would come to get him.

Not too long ago Tawil, disguised as the seventh Monarch, told the Dragon Group headquarters that a calamity would happen soon. By now the Dragon Group would have swung into action, discussing countermeasures and informing the Spire Council.

He Yuan told him that because they couldn't find another solution he took it on himself to go to Qingyang High School to get Zong Yan, the quasi-Monarch, in the hopes that he could help.

When Zong Yan got into He Yuan's car he happened to glance at the time on the Lamborghini's console.

There were less than three hours to go. He had to prevent all this!

The black-haired teen ran to the door of the school guard's office.

When classes were in session at Qingyang High School, the school gate was closed and no one was allowed to enter.

The man in the guard room was listening to the radio. When he saw someone run over, he looked up and said, "Class is in session. You can't just leave school."

Zong Yan ignored him. He stood in the doorway and looked at the endless flow of vehicles outside. Without thinking about it, he picked up his phone and made a call to He Yuan.

Since the calamity was inevitable, Zong Yan had to take advantage of the next three hours to evacuate everyone in Jiangzhou.

There wasn't a long wait before the call connected.

"Hello, Little Monarch? What can I do for you?"

At the other end, He Yuan had just finished a session in the training room. He grabbed a towel and hung it on his head, making a gesture to his teammate. "Wait, it's three in the afternoon. Don't you have class?"

Zong Yan was enduring an agony in his brain that felt like something was sawing away at his skull bit by bit. He quickly said, "I know you've just received a divination from the seventh Monarch and are trying to come up with countermeasures right now.

"Don't come to Qingyang High School. Turn around and tell the commander that the disaster will happen in Dujiakou! You have to immediately announce the situation to the city and evacuate the citizens right away. Otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."

Even though he'd fallen into a state of madness, Zong Yan felt unexpectedly calm. "The creatures that are coming are Tindalos Hounds. Human beings have no chance of defeating them, and that includes investigators. We can't take any chances. Even Monarchs have trouble dealing with them.

"Don't ask me how I know. I'll explain when this is over, but right now it's almost too late. We have less than three hours remaining. Please believe me."

Zong Yan anticipated their distrust to the point that he was mentally prepared to reveal the secret of his Astrologer persona card. He had to avert this catastrophe before it happened.

"Please believe me. Everything I say will happen in the future. But if we hurry, we can still avoid the worst."

He quickly reeled off all these words, then stopped speaking, apprehensively waiting for the verdict.

The words that came through the phone made Zong Yan's heart fall into the ice. His pupils constricted.

"Little Monarch... What are you talking about? " He Yuan's voice was perplexed. "We haven't received a warning from the seventh Monarch at all."
