At the foundation level of the Inferno Corridor Academy.

  A group of figures stood before a massive mithril door.

  This was a shortcut to the second-level corridor, with ancient runes engraved on the door, appearing mysterious in the candlelight.

  With a gentle push from the vice principal, a rumbling sound echoed between the ancient stone walls, and a fresh scent of candle wax wafted over.

  Stepping into the grand transitional corridor, demon statues several meters tall stood like a black forest on both sides of the passageway. Golden shadows seemed to narrate the long history since the school's establishment.

  Walking along the corridor, the footsteps and low whispers of the Blood Clan envoy, the guard corps, and the academy's senior staff intertwined, producing deep echoes.

  "Stop."

  Suddenly, at the front of the procession, Blood Clan Envoy Baron Sanchez halted his steps.

  Following this, the entire group gradually slowed to a stop, focusing all their attention on him.

  "What's wrong?"

  The Great Love Poet at the lead turned back, looking at Blood Clan Envoy Baron Sanchez with a puzzled expression.

  "Miss Lanfu, why did we skip Corridor No. 24?"

  Baron Sanchez raised his hand, signaling the demon officer responsible for guarding him to hand over a map.

  After he unfolded the map and confirmed his thoughts, his expression gradually cooled half a degree as he stared at the Great Love Poet and the vice principal, questioning them.

  Although the school's layout was complex and the connections between corridors were constantly changing.

  Baron Sanchez had memorized the overall structure of the academy in advance.

  At the foundation level, they had passed many classrooms, but uniquely, they had gone round and round without ever entering Corridor No. 24.

  Baron Sanchez, possessing the Blood Truth Eyes, also had amazing observational skills. Just by walking through once, Sanchez had clearly memorized the entire connection structure of the corridors at the foundation level.

  Although the demon group led by the principal seemed to guide flawlessly.

  There were clearly several times at intersections where they could have entered Corridor No. 24, but the acting principal and vice principal leading the way had cleverly planned the route to take Sanchez into another entirely new corridor.

  To the extent that it didn't make Sanchez feel any dissonance about walking in circles through repeated corridors!

  "You misunderstand. Corridor No. 24 is currently in a closed state, and I can assure you there are no students you're looking for inside," the Great Love Poet answered calmly.

  This made Sanchez inadvertently stare at her for a few extra moments, as if trying to peer deep into her eyes.

  "Take me there."

  This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author's consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.

  Sanchez's voice again broke the brief silence, a sharp realization flashing in his blood-red eyes.

  Although the Great Love Poet maintained her composure on the surface, her soul fluctuated subtly for some reason.

  "I suggest we go to other corridors with us first..." the Great Love Poet's voice was calm, her expression still unruffled.

  "Immediately, right now, take me there."

  Sanchez's voice gradually rose, carrying a hint of annoyance.

  His patience had been worn thin by the Great Love Poet's meaningless evasions.

  The more this acting principal didn't want him to go there, the more he couldn't suppress the strong intuition forming in his heart—there must be something fishy there!

  "..."

  The Great Love Poet pressed her lips together, saying nothing. No one knew what she was thinking.

  But anyone could see that after being seen through by Baron Sanchez, she had become somewhat guilty.

  "If you won't lead the way, then we'll go ourselves."

  The officer behind Baron Sanchez seemed to sense the hostility from the school's senior staff, stepped forward, and a tense atmosphere gradually developed between the teachers and the corps.

  "I'll take you there."

  The Great Love Poet's voice finally trembled slightly with resignation, as if she had thought through the consequences and didn't want to make things worse.

  The vice principal and other demon teachers all had hesitant and worried looks in their eyes, seemingly wanting to advise the Great Love Poet, but not knowing how to speak up in this situation.

  Baron Sanchez's face remained expressionless, but internally he sneered. He found the little tricks employed by this female demon before him laughable; under his eyes, any tiny flaw would be instantly exposed.

  So.

  The entire group changed direction, swiftly returning to the corridors of the foundation level.

  A few minutes later, they arrived at a corridor they had never reached before, without taking any detours.

  Ahead, a wide door stood on the wall, like a silent giant barrier guarding the interior.

  Bringing the Blood Clan envoy to this door with a sound-isolating magical barrier, the Great Love Poet and vice principal walked in front, seemingly wanting to push open the door and enter first.

  "Wait."

  Sanchez stopped them.

  As he walked here, he had an initial feeling that there were many demon students attending class in the room, among whom seemed to be mixed a soul suspected to be human!

  Baron Sanchez was certain that this classroom, which appeared to be having a normal class, was indeed highly suspicious of harboring humans!

  No wonder the academy could be so calm at first; it turned out they were playing a little trick of maze-like detours.

  "Have them leave."

  Sanchez commanded coldly.

  "You all step back! Don't approach this classroom one step before the inspection is complete!"

  Upon receiving Baron Sanchez's instructions, the demon officer unceremoniously ordered back the Great Love Poet, who was trying to make one last struggle, and commanded the elite squad to enter this classroom with him to prepare for the arrest.

  Then, Baron Sanchez led the accompanying officers into the classroom.

  Due to the sound-isolating barrier of the classroom, the corridor was silent, with only the sound of tense heartbeats and slight breathing.

  Ten seconds passed like this.

  Thirty seconds passed.

  Two minutes passed.

  No one knew exactly what was happening inside the classroom.

  Perhaps they had successfully caught the hidden human criminal, and the school leadership would face great trouble, or perhaps Baron Sanchez would return empty-handed this time.

  However.

  There was still no movement at all!

  Baron Sanchez and the officers who went in showed no signs of coming out.

  The demons of the Demon Realm Inspection Department's guard corps waiting outside all looked confused, not knowing what was happening inside.

  Just as the corridor was about to become noisy with discussions.

  "Fufu..."

  The Great Love Poet, who had been hanging her head with a vacant look and a somewhat defeated expression, suddenly bit her teeth and let out a light laugh.

  Finally, she couldn't hold back anymore. As if her feet were sore, she sat down on the ground, holding her stomach and laughing out loud,

  "This, this can't be blamed on me, right? He insisted on barging into this classroom himself, I couldn't stop him even if I wanted to!"

  The Great Love Poet gently wiped the schadenfreude tears from the corners of her eyes, saying to all the demons with great joy, her face full of a triumphant smile.

  This classroom on Corridor g24.

  It was the disaster area where Lanqi had previously triggered the hellish sound nuclear fusion—[The Demon King's Bestowed Theater]!

  At this moment, it was still continuously looping, repeating.

  Except for demons like the Music Department Head with extremely high resistance to musical magic.

  Any other living being who entered would never be able to come out on their own!
