At that thought, the principal couldnโt help but ask, โProfessor, what exactly caused this?โ
The geological expert shook his head, still unable to make sense of it.
โI canโt give you an answer right now,โ he said, a little defeated. โIn all my years, Iโve never seen anything like this.โ
Hearing that, everyone around fell silent. This expert was well-known throughout the country. Who wouldโve thought such a bizarre phenomenon would occur in a small place like Ravenshore? It was so strange that even science couldnโt offer an explanation. At this point, no one had time to wonder why it happened. All they could do was focus on rescuing the people trapped below.
Just as the rescue team was about to begin, a frantic voice shouted from the distance.
โMake way! Make way!โ
The principal and several experts turned around and saw a man running toward them, clearly out of breath. The principal frowned at the sight and spoke with irritation, โMr. Watson, what are you doing here? Weโre about to start the rescue. You showing up now only slows things down!โ
John Watson clutched his chest, trying to catch his breath. โMr. Fang, I just want to askโwho are the five students trapped inside?โ
โWhat are you asking that for?โ Right as the team was getting ready to move, John chose to block the way with questions. The principal was growing impatient. โIf youโve got nothing important to say, step aside.โ
But John raised his voice. โMr. Fang, if thereโs a student named Aurora Walton in there, you must make sure sheโs rescued safely!โ
The principalโs expression shifted. โHow do you know thereโs a student named Aurora Walton in there?โ
โWhat!!โ Johnโs voice trembled as he spoke. He raised his hand and clutched the principalโs arm, asking shakily, โMr. Fang, youโre not joking with me, are you?โ
The principalโs expression darkened. He yanked his arm away. โAll these people are watchingโdo you really think Iโd joke about something like this?โ
Seeing the principalโs reaction, John finally realized how serious the situation was.

So, it wasnโt a joke at all. The next second, John burst into tears, snot and all, and threw himself at the principalโs leg, crying out, โMr. Fang, you donโt know how outstanding that child is. Sheโs brought so much honor to our school. With a mind like hers, tell me who else could match her?โ
Hearing that, the principal finally recalled who he meant. โAlright, I get it.โ
Only then did John nod and let go of the principalโs leg, no longer clinging to him. Right now, he wasnโt well-established, which was why he was willing to humble himself like this.
Watching her teacher running around on her behalf, Aurora felt genuinely moved. Sheโd always had a good impression of him. Back then, buried under the rubble, she had no idea what was happening aboveground. But now, she could see clearly that so many people still cared about her. She wasnโt alone. Being trapped didnโt mean sheโd been forgotten.
