Qi Yang stood up and walked out of the classroom. Yuan Yuan and the others stopped writing and all looked at Qi Yang. The two of them were in much better condition than yesterday, and since it was a pop quiz, they couldn’t follow Qi Yang. There would always be times when Qi Yang wasn’t by their side. They both knew in their hearts that they couldn’t always rely on Qi Yang and had to gradually learn to be braver themselves. So, before Qi Yang could reassure them with his eyes, they smiled at Qi Yang first, letting him know not to worry about them.
Qi Yang nodded slightly and then left the classroom.
Walking down the stairs, Qi Yang didn’t know that his every move was being watched by someone. And not long after Qi Yang went downstairs, the math teacher went to the man and reported Qi Yang’s situation to him.
“He has a stomach ache?” The man’s eyes darkened, his black pupils unfathomable.
The math teacher stared down at the tile in front of his feet, not daring to blink.
“Is it serious?” the man then asked.
“It shouldn’t be too serious, I’ve already sent him to the school infirmary to rest,” the math teacher said humbly.
“Okay, you go do your work.” After dismissing the math teacher, the man turned and left the office, heading towards the infirmary.
In the infirmary, Qi Yang lay on the bed. The female doctor examined him and asked about his recent sleep. Qi Yang said he hadn’t slept particularly well last night and had a nightmare.
The doctor said she would prescribe some sleep-inducing and calming medicine for Qi Yang. Qi Yang didn’t know that the medicine here couldn’t be taken by living people, nor did he know that the medicine the doctor prescribed was specially bought from the real world by someone.
After becoming pregnant, he easily felt sleepy during the day. After the doctor left, he lay down and fell asleep, sleeping very soundly, so much so that he didn’t even know when someone entered the infirmary.
The man and the doctor walked into the inner room together. Looking at Qi Yang, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, the man gazed at her beautiful face. He had seen this sleeping face not long ago when he went to deal with some rule-breaking employees. After dealing with them, he planned to return but unexpectedly met Qi Yang.
The man waved for the doctor to leave, leaving only him and Qi Yang in the room. Walking to the bedside, the man reached out to touch Qi Yang’s face, but stopped before making contact. The doctor had just told him that Qi Yang had a nightmare last night, which led to her low spirits today. The source of that nightmare was clearly the man himself. The man withdrew his hand, his gaze slowly moving down to Qi Yang’s abdomen. Although it was covered by the quilt, the man knew that Qi Yang was now carrying his child.
This person doesn’t like this child and wants to abort their baby. In reality, the man has the power to make the present-day Qi Yang willingly give birth to this child, but if he were to do that, Qi Yang as a ‘person’ would cease to exist.
He wants the child, but he wants Qi Yang even more.
In all his years, he had never felt such an intense desire for someone.
Qi Yang was the sole exception.
Through the quilt, the man placed his palm on Qi Yang’s abdomen. He had never pursued anyone before, but he would try this time. The outcome had to be success, and could only be success.
Qi Yang slept until noon, awakened by shouts. Opening his eyes, he saw Du Yong and the others in the room. Not only Du Yong and Yuan Yuan, but also Yi Xinming and others had arrived.
“Your body is too fragile, isn’t it?” Not long ago, Qi Yang was seen punching a player, making them wail, and then Qi Yang was sleeping in the infirmary.
Pulling back the covers and sitting up, Qi Yang asked, “Why are you all here?”
“We’re worried about you. If something happened to you, I think it would be difficult for us to clear the game,” Yi Xinming teased.
“So you’re treating me as a tool to clear the game?” Having spent some time together and gotten to know each other a bit, Qi Yang also joked.
“Yes, but it’s just you.” Few others are as smart and quick-witted as Qi Yang.
Seeing that Yi Xinming had already said so, Qi Yang took the opportunity to tell the players in the room about a situation he had thought of before going to bed.
“…The first accident was around noon, about twelve o’clock, and the second accident was in the early hours of the evening, with an interval of more than ten hours between them. Judging by everyone’s expressions, I guess no accidents happened in the morning,” Qi Yang said.
“That’s right,” Yi Xinming agreed with Qi Yang.
“Does that mean the third accident will also happen at noon or in the afternoon?” Xu Yang, to Yi Xinming’s right, asked.
“Possibly.” Qi Yang wasn’t 100% sure.
“It’s not the cafeteria again, is it?” Du Yong interjected, now having a significant phobia of the cafeteria.
Qi Yang got out of bed and put on his shoes: “We’ll know when we get there.”
It was already noon, and they should go to the cafeteria to eat. If they didn’t eat, they would be hungry, and there seemed to be a physical education class in the afternoon, so they wouldn’t be able to run then.
“Ahhh, when will we finally clear this game? I really don’t want to stay here anymore.” Xu Yang grumbled, pulling at his hair.
Yi Xinming smiled without much warmth: “Don’t be so disgusted with this place. Maybe the next game will be even harder, and then you’ll regret not staying here longer.”
“N-no way?” Xu Yang knew that Yi Xinming had cleared the game several times, so he basically didn’t doubt his words. When he heard Yi Xinming say that the game would be even harder in the future, his eyes widened.
“We’ll worry about the future later. First, let’s clear this game. If we don’t, nothing else matters, right?” Qi Yang said, walking past Yi Xinming with a calm gaze.
“You have a good mindset. When I first arrived, I wasn’t as calm as you at all.” A hint of envy surfaced in Yi Xinming’s eyes. He genuinely felt that Qi Yang was a very contradictory person. He thought the other party was very strong, but then again, he seemed so fragile, as if he could collapse at any moment.
However, this made Yi Xinming feel much more balanced. If someone was truly intelligent, strong in combat, and physically robust, he would probably feel very inferior.
A group of people went to the cafeteria to eat together. The numbers on the cafeteria sign, after fading, did not turn back to blood red. It seemed that the cafeteria’s crisis had been resolved, but it was only “seemed.” No one could guarantee whether there would be any more accidents later.
Sitting in the cafeteria eating, there were a few other players, including the one who had previously clashed with Qi Yang. After eating, several of them didn’t go to the dorms. In their opinion, incidents only happened in other places, not in the classroom. They all agreed that perhaps the classroom was the safest place, and at noon, the classroom was mostly empty. Ghosts either left school or took naps in the dorms, making the classroom the safest place.
When they saw Qi Yang and the others arrive at the cafeteria, someone passing by Qi Yang’s group let out a cold snort. Qi Yang just thought these people were too childish, treating him like an enemy. He wouldn’t do them any harm; the ones they should truly be wary of were the monsters disguised as humans.
“Where are they going?” Xu Yang asked, confused, as he watched a few people from the North Dorm.
“It looks like they’re heading back to the classroom. They probably think the classroom is safer than the dorms.” Yi Xinming quickly guessed the reason.
“Go back to the classroom? I think the dorm is safer.” Xu Yang said, eating braised pork. He thought the dorm was like the cafeteria; since something had already happened there, it must be relatively safer.
“Qi Yang, what do you think?” Yi Xinming asked Qi Yang for his opinion.
Qi Yang stared at the departing players: “The classroom might be safer. Maybe the classroom is a hidden safe zone in the game.”
Their identity is that of students, and what is the most important thing for students? Of course, it’s studying. And the place for studying is the classroom. If we deduce it this way, it seems the classroom is the most important.
Qi Yang’s deduction was indeed somewhat correct, but not entirely correct.
The few players who left passed the basketball court in front of the cafeteria and walked towards the teaching building. As they walked along the side of the teaching building, there were many glass windows above the side. Qi Yang looked up and noticed those windows. At that moment, an idea popped into his mind: if those windows accidentally fell, they would undoubtedly cause great harm to the players walking below, and killing them would probably be effortless.
