At this moment, the people walking beneath the wall sensed the danger from above, but by the time they tried to run, it was too late. The shattered glass instantly plummeted, striking the players below and pinning them to the ground. One person even had a vertical shard of glass pierce straight through their back to their chest. That person looked down blankly at the glass protruding from their chest, blood gushing from the gaping wound, instantly staining the transparent glass a bloody red.
A few seconds of silence, then a series of screams tore through the sky.
Except for the boy who had kept his distance and hadn’t followed too closely, everyone else was injured to varying degrees, and some even died on the spot.
They died with their eyes wide open.
Du Yong hugged the terrified Yuan Yuan, preventing her from seeing the bloody and cruel scenes in the distance. Yuan Yuan trembled slightly, blaming herself, feeling that she hadn’t done well enough, that she hadn’t been able to make them believe her. Yuan Yuan cried sadly in Du Yong’s arms.
The players below the wall were in chaos, several of them seriously injured and unable to move. With familiar corpses around them, their expressions, which had just been arrogant, instantly changed to fear and panic.
They thought Yuan Yuan was lying to them, so no one believed her. As it turned out, no one was lying to them.
It was their arrogance that led to such punishment.
Qi Yang and the others, who were sitting in the cafeteria, saw what happened and stood up. After all, it wasn’t just one person injured, but several. Now those people were completely panicked. If they just stood by and watched, they might bleed to death.
Qi Yang wasn’t really such a heartless person. After thinking about it, he decided to help as much as he could.
He looked at Yi Xinming, intending to ask Yi Xinming to help too. However, Yi Xinming’s gaze at the distance changed slightly. Qi Yang immediately felt puzzled and turned his head to see what was happening. The previously empty basketball court, at some point, began to fill with students in school uniforms pouring out from various entrances and exits. Their eyes glowed eerily, and their expressions were crazily hungry. They gathered towards the scene of the accident, almost instantly surrounding several players.
Some people naturally noticed Du Yong and his group. They seemed to want to attack Du Yong and Yuan Yuan, but also seemed to be wary of something, so they didn’t directly charge forward.
The encirclement grew larger and larger, completely obstructing the view of Qi Yang and the others.
“What’s going on?” This hadn’t happened before. Yesterday afternoon, someone was also smashed to death in the cafeteria, but at that time, these humanoid ghosts just watched from the side; no one rushed towards the bleeding corpse.
Why is today different from yesterday? Or is it because more people died today, and there’s blood everywhere? Is the thick blood more attractive to the ghosts today than yesterday?
I have to say, Qi Yang’s guess was correct. Not only the dead players, but also those who were still alive were injured, with blood gushing from their wounds, and the blood on the ground became like a river.
The monsters’ eyes gradually changed, turning scarlet. Some, having been hungry for too long, couldn’t resist reaching out for the tempting food in front of them.
But just as that monster’s hand was about to touch one of the players’ arms, his body suddenly flew out, directly from the crowd into the air. After a parabolic arc, the monster’s body slammed hard onto the ground, his limbs seemingly broken. The monster lay on the ground with twisted limbs, but he was still fine. Monsters generally don’t feel pain from physical injuries. He crawled on the ground with twisted limbs, still trying to get closer to the food that made him drool.
The crowd suddenly began to part, revealing a tall man standing in the middle of the crowd. The man wasn’t wearing a student uniform; he was dressed in a handsome outfit that Qi Yang and the others vaguely recognized. With a moment’s thought, Qi Yang realized where he had seen it before. Not only was Qi Yang surprised, but the other players were also stunned.
The teacher, who had been observing the class, walked out from among the ghost students. He approached the student who had reached out to eat the players. The teacher raised his right foot, seemingly with a light motion, and gently stepped on the student’s head.
The next moment, the player’s head was crushed, splattering red and white matter all over the ground.
The students behind the teacher all watched this scene, and everyone’s expressions changed, becoming fearful and wary.
“I dislike people who don’t follow rules the most. Remember that.” The teacher didn’t turn around, but the students behind him knew he was talking to them. Everyone immediately became like well-behaved children who had been reprimanded, not daring to move.
The teacher giving the lecture raised his eyes, and his gaze suddenly met Qi Yang’s at the cafeteria entrance. Qi Yang frowned. He knew that compared to these ghostly students, this man was the most difficult to deal with.
Yuan Yuan and Du Yong were both frightened. As the teacher giving the lecture passed by them, their bodies stiffened, and only their eyeballs could move, so their gazes followed the man.
The man seemed completely oblivious to the two people, his long legs quickly bringing him before Qi Yang.
“Scared?” The man offered a gentle smile, reaching out to touch Qi Yang’s face. Qi Yang recoiled, and the man’s hand met empty air.
Yi Xinming stepped forward, positioning himself in front of Qi Yang. This man was dangerous, very dangerous.
The man saw Yi Xinming actually blocking Qi Yang, and his gaze instantly changed, becoming unusually cold. However, when his eyes met Qi Yang’s behind Yi Xinming, that chilling coldness immediately subtly receded.
“Introduce yourself again; the one this morning wasn’t accurate,” the man said, staring into Qi Yang’s eyes.
Qi Yang’s gaze was dark. He didn’t like this man staring intently at him.
“My surname is Fu, Fu Mingnan. I am the supervisor of this game, mainly to supervise whether anyone here violates the rules, everyone except you players.”
“Something came up yesterday, so I only arrived today. So, I welcome you again, welcome to this round of the game.”
“If there are any aspects of the game that you find unsatisfactory, please feel free to give me your feedback at any time, and I will make adjustments as appropriate.”
Fu Mingnan spoke gently and politely, but there was clearly not much emotional fluctuation in his eyes as he looked at everyone.
“Supervisor? Why haven’t I heard of that before?” Yi Xinming had never encountered a supervisor in any of the games he’d cleared. The sudden appearance of one now made him feel like something was off.
“Just a small, temporary change, but it won’t affect the overall game. You can rest assured about that,” Fu Mingnan said with a benevolent expression.
If he hadn’t just stomped on a student’s head, everyone might actually have thought he was easy to get along with. As a supervisor in the game, he was naturally on the game’s side. This game was extremely cruel, treating human lives as nothing. To say that changes were made for a better player experience in such a game—who would believe that?
I’m afraid it’s an even more terrifying monster, specifically here to claim their lives.
“You’re not feeling well, so make sure you get plenty of rest,” Fu Mingnan suddenly said, looking at Qi Yang.
Everyone looked at Qi Yang, who pursed his lips and didn’t respond to the man.
“You guys eat, I won’t disturb you.” Fu Mingnan turned to leave, and the students he passed all made way for him.
What kind of person could make even ghosts afraid? Yi Xinming was very curious.
The students in the playground dispersed, or rather, they no longer huddled together, but their eyes still fixated on the players gushing blood as if they were delicious food.
Qi Yang and the others stood for a while longer. After the man had walked far away, they jogged over and helped send the still-living players to the infirmary. The infirmary doctor wasn’t there, but the players didn’t stand on ceremony. They rummaged through everything and found hemostatic medicine, gauze, and other supplies to use on the injured.
As for those with glass shards stuck in their bodies, they couldn’t leave the campus, and the school teachers were not human at all, wishing for the players to die quickly. So, they could only pull out the glass shards and then rely on the players’ own healing abilities. Fortunately, the wounds of those still alive were not fatal.
After a round of busy work, Qi Yang felt tired. He didn’t go to the cafeteria for the remaining food and went straight back to his dorm.
When he climbed onto his bed, he saw a bag on it that he didn’t know when it had appeared. The bag was bulging, seemingly filled with many things.
Qi Yang wondered if someone had put it on his bed by mistake, and then an NPC classmate walked in.
“The school doctor asked me to bring that over for you, to help you recuperate,” the classmate explained the origin of the items.
Sent by the doctor? Qi Yang was skeptical. Out of curiosity, he opened the package, expecting it to be just ordinary health-boosting sleep aids. However, it contained quite a few items, all exquisitely packaged. This didn’t look like something the school doctor would send him at all.
Qi Yang took the items out. Du Yong had gone to the restroom, and when he returned, he saw many things laid out on Qi Yang’s bed.
“What are these?” Du Yong reached out and took one down. The packaging looked a bit like candy. Du Yong wasn’t afraid of anything unusual in it, so he tore open the packaging and took a bite.
“Damn, that’s sour!” Du Yong’s face crumpled up from the sourness, and he spat out what he’d eaten.
“Sour?” Qi Yang also picked up something that looked like a gummy and took a bite. He didn’t taste much sourness, but rather a slight sweetness, and the texture was good.
“It’s not sour!”
Qi Yang suspected Du Yong’s taste buds were malfunctioning.
“Not sour? No way, what’s wrong with your mouth?” Du Yong leaned back, staring at Qi Yang with a terrifying gaze.
“Wait, I’ll go ask Xu Yang.” Du Yong and Xu Yang were about the same age. After asking, they found out they actually went to the same high school, and soon they became closer than others.
Du Yong took the candy he had bitten into to find Xu Yang. Within two minutes, Xu Yang came to the dorm.
“You try it, Qi Yang said this isn’t sour.” Du Yong seemed timid, but sometimes he was quite bold. After seeing people die and get injured at noon, he seemed to recover quickly once he got back to the dorm.
This kind of personality seems to be quite good in games.
Xu Yang took another candy, and as soon as he put it in his mouth, before he even chewed, he frowned.
“What is this? It’s so sour! I’ve never eaten anything this sour before.” Xu Yang’s mouth was watering from the sourness, and he asked Xu Yang for water to rinse his mouth.
Both of them said it was sour, so this thing must be really sour. Qi Yang looked at the remaining sugar-like objects, wondering why he couldn’t taste the sourness. Suddenly, Qi Yang thought of something, and his eyes flickered slightly.
“Qi Yang, you eat too much sour food. If you were a woman, I’d suspect you were pregnant.” Xu Yang’s opening was a little joke.
Hearing this joke, Qi Yang’s expression subtly changed, but he didn’t let Xu Yang or the others notice.
“Maybe my taste buds have changed a bit here, after all, this isn’t the real world,” Qi Yang explained, finding an excuse.
The other two didn’t suspect anything; they could never have imagined that Qi Yang was actually pregnant.
Qi Yang put the things he had taken out back into the bag. He wanted to throw them away, but in the end, he didn’t.
