Chapter 244: Chapter 241: "The Sheep in the Rain...
Su Mingâan stood up and watched as Flaxâs breath slowly dissipated.
The sunlight scattered over her hair, creating a brilliant halo.
She lay on the ground, as the blood gradually spread over the scattered sawdust, making the shards of glass gleam.
The pool of blood completely covered her figure, and moments later, only the shattered remains of the wooden table and chairs were left in that spot.
"Ding-dong!"
He saw a light orb flowing into his backpack.
Type: Strategy Item
Effect: A permanent item, consumable only by the player themselves. After consumption, it allows one to perceive the emotional focal points in othersâ words, thus aiding in capturing hidden information within their speech.
Acquisition requirement: Awarded as a special reward when the player defeats Flax alone for the first time, honor to those who dare to challenge and rise against authority.
Description: "She once had a vast world, seas, and blue skiesâwhen concocting this potion, did her heart ever once regret her past self?"
This potion, unlike the previous unsettling blue potion, was entirely pink and bubbling.
Su Mingâan hesitated momentarily, but still drank it down.
Such rewards obtained by following the storyline typically assist with subsequent plots.
The potion had no particular taste and didnât seem to provoke any reaction in his body.
He opened his task bar.
In the task bar, the item was still blank.
He pulled up the blank bar and typed in the two characters "Yang Xia."
The next moment, he heard the system notification:
...It really was him.
Su Mingâan couldnât understand.
Yang Xia was a virtual woman fantasized by Dong Xue, an unreal existence, but his own body was undeniably male, existing in reality.
How were these two connected?
He checked his clues column again, but there was no connection to be made.
Suddenly, he remembered, during the previous meeting in the library, Dong Xue had mistaken him for Yang Xia.
...So that means, actually, she hadnât been experiencing a hallucination at that time.
She hadnât recognized the wrong person.
Moreover, Dong Xue by day and Dong Xue by night are definitely two different people.
He had found it strange at the time, why night Dong Xue would wear a red dance dress, why she looked so much more beautiful.
...Looking at it now, the Dong Xue at night was probably something like an "obsession."
An unfulfilled longing of Dong Xue, who couldnât become a woman, for that beautiful self in the red dance dress.
He turned around to look at the seven people in the classroom.
Two students had gone mad, lying on the floor with blood all over their faces.
Two other students seemed quite normal; one was a tall and skinny young man, the other a little girl with braided pigtails, their faces streaked with tears, eyes filled with the shock of awakening from a dream.
Dong Xue stood at the edge of the podium, seemingly unaffected by the storm in the middle. When she saw his gaze turn towards her, a calmness appeared on her face.
"Yang Xia, you really did protect me," Dong Xue murmured to herself. "...Originally, you just talked to me, silently watching me endure everything, and now, youâve truly come to rescue me."
As she was speaking, Su Mingâan heard a series of strange emphases.
It was as if her speech in his mind was deliberately emphasizing certain parts of the sentences, and in Dong Xueâs words, he specifically heard the phrases .
...Is this the effect of the medicine? An ability similar to keyword extraction?
"I am not your illusory creation, Dong Xue, I am a living person," Su Mingâan said. "Look closely, I am not female."
"..." Dong Xue stared at him, remaining motionless in her spot.
Su Mingâan didnât further stimulate her, but instead went to check on Mo Yanâs condition.
After the stimulation from Flaxâs medicine and being affected by the boss fight, Mo Yan looked like a wooden stake standing still.
Mo Yan stood in place, hugging his sword, his face streaked with tears.
"Mo Yan." Su Mingâan patted his shoulder, but there was no response.
"Slap!"
He directly landed a slap on him.
He had only meant to try it and hadnât expected that under this slap, Mo Yan seemed to be jolted awake, coming back to his senses.
His lifeless eyes gradually regained their luster, his consciousness returning bit by bit.
"...Big brother?"
Mo Yan tentatively called out, then suddenly noticed the classroom was in a chaotic mess.
"Holy shit! What happened here, how come all the tables and chairs are... hey, wait a minute, why does my cheek hurt so much..." Mo Yan cried out, then suddenly covered his left cheek, feeling a strange swelling pain.
"Strong will." Su Mingâan rarely expressed admiration.
He had thought that Mo Yan was beyond saving, just like those Players who suddenly went mad during the boss fight and could only return to the Main God Space to find a way out.
Unexpectedly, Mo Yan was crazy, but not completely crazy.
A slap actually brought him around.
"Hey, wait a minute, big brother, whatâs the situation? Whereâs that crazy woman? She..."
"The boss fight is over."
"Huh? I wasnât able to help again..." Mo Yan sighed remorsefully and then suddenly woke up as if from a dream: "...wait a minute, the boss fight... Big brother, are you telling me that you, alone, defeated that crazy woman with a Combat Power of 2000?"
Su Mingâan didnât answer.
In his minimized live stream room, comments flew by like mad:
Together with a round of digressions, the comments shifted back to the debate over who is the strongest.
This topic, like "What do the Organizers really want to do" and "What will the next instance world be," is a long-standing subject that never fades from peopleâs conversations.
Su Mingâan glanced at Dong Xue: "Get ready, weâre going to leave this place."
"Ah... what?" Dong Xue was clearly still not reacting.
"Take what you need to take and leave," Su Mingâan said. "A new teacher will come tomorrow, and we must find a way to leave here before the end of today."
"Leave... leave?"
Dong Xue murmured to herself.
Through the warm light of the afternoon, her eyes shimmered with a glint of watery light.
"...Can we really escape?" The little girl standing by her side, her body covered in scars, asked with a look of incredulity.
Su Mingâan frowned.
The mission requirement was to take Dong Xue out of there; he had not planned on taking these two, who were clearly dead weights.
"I know the escape route." Another youth, who hadnât lost his mind, immediately said, "âPlease, if you can just get us through this door, I can tell you the rest of the route."
"I, I can do it too," the little girl said, mustering her courage.
In a place like this, they had long since learned to showcase their own value.
"...Iâm very strong, Iâm good at fighting, and if teachers catch up with us, I can also fight against them..." the little girl continued.
But given her frail and tiny appearance, those words didnât seem very credible.
Su Mingâan remained silent.
It was at this moment that he heard the system voice:
"Come along," he said.
The eyes of the two surviving students brightened, as if granted a favor, and they quickly nodded their heads adamantly.
After learning the news of the escape, they began to move swiftly.
Su Mingâan made another round, and as he passed the clue that had not yet been unveiled, he touched the wallpaper, which still wouldnât tear off.
"Here you go."
A gentle voice came from the side.
The disheveled black-haired girl handed him a flashlight.
Su Mingâan took the flashlight.
He remembered that in the information Noel gave him, it mentioned the flashlight was a key prop.
This thing in Dong Xueâs hands would likely require the player to increase her favorability to obtain it after a certain level is reached.
But if the playerâs initial identity was Yang Xia, they might directly gain her trust.
...But he still couldnât understand why he was Yang Xia.
He also didnât dare to provoke her again; the last time he did that in the library, his Spirit Value dropped by 20 directly. If it had been an ordinary person, they would have gone mad already.
He flipped the switch, and the light swept across the wall.
No wonder the wallpaper couldnât be peeled off; this clue needed a flashlight to be seen.
Under the light, lines of text gradually became clear before his eyes.
[1. There is a door in the basement with a password lock, but do not attempt to break through forcibly, as it would trigger an electric shock and alert the security.
2. On the third and fourth nights, the teachers will update the punishment system and study content, momentarily leaving White Sand Paradise. This will be a good opportunity to escape.
3. The password for the lock is scattered around in various corners, comprising five digits. Props on other students will have these scattered numbers.
4. After leaving, do not attempt to find your parents, as "rebellious" children will be sent back to the treatment facility by their parents.]
