NOVPUBSo, are there really such things as formations in this world?
The netizens in the live broadcast room didn’t know.
But now that they’ve seen Wang Xing show them a trick, they’ve become even more uncertain.
"Master Wang, even if the old building is the so-called Li Fire Formation you mentioned, what does that mean?"
Wang Xing said in a deep voice, "It means that the purpose of this building wasn’t pure from the very beginning."
"It would be one thing if this were any other building, but think about it, this is an educational building. What’s most present in an educational building are people, and most of them are students."
"If someone really used an educational building to set up a formation, what would their purpose be, and what would the consequences be?"
Many people already sensed something was off when Wang Xing first mentioned the Li Fire Formation.
Now, hearing Wang Xing say this, someone immediately went off to search for the old building accident that happened back then.
When they found information about the incident, everyone was stunned.
Fifteen years ago, a fire broke out in the old building, starting in a classroom on the second floor and spreading upwards.
Apart from the students on the first floor who managed to escape, more than three hundred students in the upper floors were all burned to death!
The incident shocked the entire country at the time.
After all, the Agricultural University was a key institution, and the victims were all university students!
When the cause of the accident was investigated, it was found that due to the cleaning staff’s violation of regulations by using an abandoned classroom on the second floor as a storage room for inflamable clutter, a fire broke out.
The most fatal issue was that the building’s fire exit didn’t meet inspection standards and was cluttered with various items, preventing the students from evacuating in time.
Because of this incident, a bunch of leaders were held accountable, and Xu Wenyao only became the president of the Agricultural University after the event.
Looking at the various information online about the incident from that year, the netizens in the live broadcast room couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.
"It’s true, this happened. Because of this incident, there was a nationwide fire safety inspection in colleges. I remember clearly that it was after this that our school started holding fire drills every year."
"I remember this incident caused quite a stir at the time, a lot of parents protested, and all the media were interviewing and reporting on the matter."
"More than thirty people in charge were arrested, and the one bearing the most responsibility was given a suspended death sentence, which should now be commuted to life imprisonment."
"Damn, I’ve actually been to that old building to take photos and check in before. I really didn’t know so many people had died, that’s terrifying. No offense meant, may the deceased rest in peace!"
As old photos from back then were dug up, the atmosphere in the live broadcast room’s barrage changed instantly.
You have to know, just minutes ago these netizens were calling for belief in science, and now one was more superstitious than the next.
Wu Bin and the others, having learned about the incident at the old building, also found it incredibly hard to believe.
Especially after watching Wang Xing demonstrate the formation, they were even less inclined to believe it was an accident.
"Those were over three hundred lives, Master Wang, are you suggesting that these hundreds of people were deliberately killed?"
Wang Xing thought for a moment and then nodded.
"It’s likely that the Li Fire Formation was used to achieve some goal, which could very possibly be to gain some supernatural power through the sacrifice of others’ lives."
"However, these are just my personal speculations, and the exact situation will still require further investigation to know the outcome."
As soon as Wang Xing mentioned investigation, Song Bing’s eyes widened.
"Master Wang, when you say investigation, you don’t mean going to investigate in the old building, do you?"
Song Bing didn’t know about the serious accident that had occurred in the old building before, which is why he had the courage to pass by there late at night.
Now knowing how terrifying the old building was, and still being asked to go there, wasn’t that seeking death?
If he lost consciousness and was controlled by some ghostly thing like last night, what would he do then?
Wu Bin patted Song Bing on the shoulder and said, "Old Song, if you don’t want to go, it’s okay, I understand. It’s just that Lin Nan told me she doesn’t like guys who are cowardly."
Song Bing: ...
Fine, fine, so you’re playing mind games with me, huh!
Even though he knew it was Wu Bin’s way of provoking him, Song Bing still took the bait.
"Fine, I’ll go! I, Song Bing, am not a coward, I’ve never even known how to spell the word ’fear!’"
Song Bing agreed so readily mainly because he had no choice.
How could he refuse with so many people watching Wu Bin’s live broadcast?
If he really chickened out, he wouldn’t be able to lift his head in front of Lin Nan again.
Song Bing thought his declaration was rather bold.
But as soon as he had finished speaking, Wu Bin unceremoniously retorted, "Old Song, not knowing how to spell ’fear’ doesn’t mean you’re brave; we usually call such a person illiterate."
"You’re a student of our Agricultural University after all. You should read more on a regular basis."
Song Bing: ...
Once again, Song Bing was left speechless by Wu Bin’s teasing, and the live broadcast room erupted into laughter.
"Wu’s insults are really sharp. Now each of Wu’s comments seems so sassy, he’s really not giving Song Bing any face."
"It seems like Wu is mocking Song Bing, but in reality, he’s helping him snap out of it, reminding him not to be blinded by love."
"Are you guys serious? With the state Song Bing’s in now, he’s totally head over heels. Otherwise, if it were me, I definitely wouldn’t dare to go to the old building."
"What’s there to fear in broad daylight with so many people watching? Don’t be a wimp!"
The netizens in the live broadcast room were extremely excited.
After all, they had just looked up information related to the old building online, and now everyone was very interested in it.
Wu Bin also wanted to know who had controlled Song Bing the previous night, so he made a decision quickly.
"Master Wang, now that we know there’s something strange about the old building, let’s set out right now and see what the situation really is with this building."
Wang Xing nodded.
"Good, let’s leave now."
Wu Bin hadn’t spent much time at the school, so he wasn’t very familiar with how to get to the old building and could only ask Song Bing to lead the way.
If this were any other time, Song Bing wouldn’t show any strangeness in leading the way.
But now, leading Wu Bin and the others to the old building, Song Bing’s legs shook uncontrollably, especially since the school was already on vacation and there weren’t many people to be seen along the way, which made him even more nervous.
As Song Bing walked forward, he said, "Old Wu, maybe we should just have a look from outside later, right? We don’t need to go in, do we?"
Wang Xing shook his head, "We’d better go inside and check; otherwise, it’s hard to find any valuable clues."
