"But that monster only obscured things related to it within this instance. What does that have to do with me not being able to remember this man?" Yin Xiu still pointed to the smiling man beside him, puzzled.
After a pause, he looked leisurely at the man beside him, "What is your relationship with it? That it can blur its own parts, yet also blur yours as well?"
"I don't know either." The man shook his head innocently. "I'm all alone in the dungeon. There are no other people like me."
Yin Xiu narrowed his eyes, still not quite sure, but for the time being, he believed him.
The aunt standing next to her also said with certainty, "It can't be him. If you knew each other before you came to this instance, then it's not him, because the monsters in this instance have never left the instance and have always been confined inside."
Yin Xiu nodded thoughtfully.
After verifying with multiple parties, he can now indeed trust the man next to him.
However, when the monsters in the dungeon erase a part of themselves, they also erase the monster's part, proving that they are closely related, and may even be one entity or of the same race.
Yin Xiu leisurely turned his attention to the man, wanting to know the truth behind the dungeon, he still had to bring this person with him.
"Alright, I'm pretty much clear on the situation now. I'll go to my aunt's kitchen after I finish my class today." Yin Xiu kicked the corpse at his feet. No matter how things develop, the rules require him to attend classes without interruption.
"I'll wait for you." Auntie smiled and waved to Yin Xiu.
"Goodbye, Auntie." Yin Xiu turned around and waved before leaving the cafeteria. The man who had suddenly appeared naturally followed.
When Yin Xiu arrived at the classroom, he found it empty, which was to be expected, since all the students had been killed.
But then Yin Xiu remembered a big problem.
The students are all dead, who will do his homework?
Yin Xiu decisively searched through the other students' desks, found a completed homework assignment, slammed it on the table, and looked at the man next to him, "You're also a monster, you should be able to read monster characters, right? Come and help me copy my homework?"
The man pursed his lips; he knew he couldn't escape the fate of having to do homework for others.
He sat down obediently and helped Yin Xiu finish copying the homework as the class bell rang.
The teacher arrived just as the bell rang. Upon entering the classroom, she noticed all the empty seats and frowned, her anger rising. "Everyone's late today! They're all taking me, their teacher, less and less seriously!"
"When they come later, I'm going to eat them all!"
Amidst the teacher's harsh glare, Yin Xiu leaned back lazily in his chair and said calmly, "Teacher, you don't need to eat them. I've already eaten up all these bad students for you."
The teacher standing on the podium was taken aback, his gaze becoming meaningful. "You? You ate them?"
"Yes." Yin Xiufeng nodded casually, without a hint of lying. "Because they bullied me, I ate them all."
"Did they bully you again?" the teacher muttered, frowning. "That's impossible... They clearly don't have any self-awareness anymore."
The more the teacher thought about it, the more confused she became. Considering that there were precedents at this school, and that there were cases where the bullies had been completely dealt with by Yin Xiu, she actually started to believe it.
Moreover, Yin Xiu has always been abnormal; he's actually capable of doing something like eating ghosts.
Looking up, I saw Yin Xiu lazily and naturally rubbing his stomach, "I'm stuffed."
The teacher was stunned, and her gaze towards Yin Xiu became incredibly complicated.
Yin Xiu had no idea what kind of filter his teacher had placed on him now, but he just needed to gloss over the fact that all the strange students had disappeared.
It can't interfere with class.
Today's lesson was very perfunctory, because there was no one else in the classroom, and Yin Xiu was sure not to listen anyway, so she just talked casually.
It was almost time to leave. As soon as the bell rang, Yin Xiu was about to leave when the teacher stopped him.
"Yin Xiu, no matter what, this is a school. You can't fall behind in your studies, no matter what the reason. After all, there will be an exam before graduation, and I hope you can pass it smoothly." The teacher said this and then left with a smile.
Yin Xiu frowned.
This is terrible! Attending classes will corrupt your mind, alter your cognition, and make you less than human. And if you don't attend classes, you still have to take exams.
So, wouldn't players have to endure the pollution while attending classes, then get medicine to restore their cognition, attend classes again, and continue to recover until they graduate after the exam?
Yin Xiu couldn't worry about the normal way to clear the dungeon for the time being. He directly took out his sword and killed the monster that was affecting his cognition. He solved the problem that listening to the lectures would affect his cognition. He could catch up on the lessons later. There would still be time for the exam, right?
Thinking about it, Yin Xiu hurriedly headed towards the cafeteria.
On the other side, Ye Tianxuan had just pulled a booklet out of the school uniform of the student who was killed by the security guard.
In the past two days, he discovered a pattern in the way security guards kill students: they only eat the flesh and not the clothes or bones. They swallow the whole person, but always spit out the clothes and bones.
Because of the rule that players cannot kill their classmates, players can never touch the students' corpses.
In the entire school, only the security guards and teachers would kill students. The teachers would swallow the students whole on the spot, which was how the security guards came to touch the students' corpses.
Ye Tianxuan reasoned that the student handbook should be on the students, but since he couldn't find it after secretly searching through their dorm rooms, he could only look for it on the main body.
He had just instigated a strange student to commit a crime and be late, and then watched with great pleasure as the student was eaten by a security guard. After the guard left, Ye Tianxuan secretly touched the vomited bones and clothes, and found the student handbook among them.
He glanced at the live chat while flipping through the student handbook, "What? Yin Xiu had his roommate kill all the students on his side? No way? Did he find the student handbook?"
"All the students were swallowed by his roommate? That's certainly... it's unlikely we'd find the handbook inside the roommate's stomach... What about the security guards? They should be able to find the remains too, right?"
The comments scrolled by: The security guard was killed by Yin Xiu on the second night.
"...Oh." Ye Tianxuan wasn't surprised. He knew Yin Xiu could clear the level, but someone like Yin Xiu definitely couldn't clear it with five stars! In the end, he would still have to rely on him to gather all the information!
While watching the live stream reports about Yin Xiu, Ye Tianxuan strolled slowly toward the cafeteria.
Based on the feedback from the comments, he roughly knew that the difficulty on Yin Xiu's side was completely different from his side. Although some players' perceptions would also be affected here, the speed and severity of the pollution were far less than that on Yin Xiu's side.
As long as you find the medicine in time, you can gradually recover, but the level of pollution on Yin Xiu's side is a bit outrageous.
Unable to see the comments or roommates, I instantly forgot everything and merged into the bizarre family. I was just one step away from joining the dungeon, but thankfully I snapped out of it in time.
"As expected, this is a copy specifically targeting you... How shameless." Ye Tianxuan slowly closed his student handbook and looked up in the direction of the cafeteria.
It seems we still need his help.
