Chapter 241
Six people were assigned to the task: one person was responsible for guarding the entrance to the secret room, and another person was responsible for monitoring the movements of the entire Governor's Mansion using auxiliary equipment.
Qin Su carefully recorded all the equipment that appeared in the video. If he wasn't mistaken, the auxiliary equipment used by these six people on this trip was not of the level that the Fourth Military Academy could use on a large scale in actual combat exercises. It was mostly used for teaching exercises.
It is clear that the preparations made in private some time ago were not only made by the six people who were about to go out to carry out their first mission, but also by the other people in Class 6). They used their personal networks to obtain a lot of high-end equipment. The video he was watching at this time only showed a small part of it.
After recording the useful information that appeared during this period of the video, Qin Su focused his attention on the four people in charge of Bado's body.
Of the four, one was responsible for pulling heads out of the cubicles, muttering to himself as he pointed the way for the unjustly killed.
"I'm so sorry to bother you. If you want to blame someone, go find Bado. If he hadn't coveted your heads, none of us would be in this situation. It's all Bado's fault that things have turned out this way. Of course, don't worry about not being able to find Bado. His business card has been specially shrunk and stuffed into your heads. Bado's address and biography are all clearly written on it."
"Don't worry about those who just stuffed things in without any other options. Ask your neighbors; you've all been locked up in the same house for so long, you must have a common enemy, so you must get along quite well."
"Although Bado is terrifying, you have the numbers and can wear him down with a war of attrition."
Qin Su was stunned by his classmates' hallucinations of handing out business cards to leaders or enemies while digging up graves, and even stuffing them directly into people's heads to avoid making a mistake.
Meanwhile, the other three men in charge of sewing kept talking, mostly saying things like, "No rush, no rush, finish yours first, the boss gets a share. It's okay if you can't kill him while he's alive, you can hang him on his body after he dies and drag him to his death." They also urged the person in charge of selecting the head to hurry up.
What should have been a gloomy and terrifying scene suddenly became quite subtle after these few mouths spoke.
The key is that despite their words, their actions were fluid and efficient, without any delay, demonstrating their strong mental fortitude.
Qin Su looked at the video, which showed an alarming number of heads, each in varying degrees of decay under the deliberate control of the potion, and then at his classmates who were chattering incessantly, and he understood.
'No scary atmosphere is too much for a chatterbox to handle; if one chatterbox doesn't work, then bring in two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight... N more chatterboxes.'
The short ten-minute video quickly ended. Qin Su closed the playback page, opened the adjusted list that he had previously sent to Class 6), and readjusted it.
The start went smoothly. Both the students and he himself gained their own experience. There were many people on the list, and dealing with them one by one would not be enough even by the end of the semester. If he remembered correctly, it was their turn at the end of the semester to send a class to the same selected location for a military exercise with other classes selected by the Military Academy. Now it was time to launch a large-scale operation and speed up the process.

The students in Class 6) quickly finished watching their exclusive live version and then received a new list from Qin Su.
On the list, Bado's name turned gray, while a new batch of red checkmarks appeared.
Having learned from their first experience, the students in Class 6) immediately understood after reviewing the list that this meant they would be going out as a group.
This is quite different from their original plan to come one by one.
At the students' strong request, the deputy Deputy Class Monitor duty initiated a group video call for all 999 students before Lin Yin and the other six had even returned to the Fourth Military Academy.
Why the sudden rush?
"What's the rush? Isn't this a sign that the Class Monitor is satisfied with Lin Yin's group's performance and trusts us? They only looked at the case once and they believe we can do the same. Let's take it on with confidence and make sure we surpass them. What's there to be timid about?"
"But that means if something goes wrong along the way, and everyone happens to encounter problems, the people left at school can't take care of so many of us outsiders all at once. We're short of a think tank."
"What else can we do? We can either improvise or make thorough plans in advance. Choose one. I suspect the Class Monitor knows we're confident because we have a think tank ready to help us at any time, and he wants us to rely on ourselves instead of always expecting others to help us?"
"That makes sense! So, our group, being the first to act, has the advantage."
"Don't be modest, you were very well prepared, okay? No one was scared when they suddenly saw such a gloomy scene, and your movements were so swift that anyone would admire you."
"Thank you for the compliment. To be honest, time was tight and the task was heavy. Before we even set the objective, we practiced countless times in private to make sure there wasn't a single unnecessary movement and that we could finish as quickly as possible. Now you see, the results are here. Of course, more importantly, this is largely thanks to the Class Monitor's earlier efforts to force us to mentally and physically confront and feel the power of that wall of heads. When we touched the real heads, we were moved, but not terrified."
"We've got it. Especially considering Brother Mu's leading role, all we have to do is hold our heads and sew them up to hang on the culprit. It couldn't be easier."
"If that's what you're saying... does it mean that the Class Monitor had us study the Skull Wall carefully back then, actually to prepare for this? The Class Monitor has been eyeing Bado for a long time?"
"It's not impossible, wow... We clearly provided the list. And to go even further, the Class Monitor can read our minds and predict our future actions. Amazing! No wonder he's the Class Monitor, a true god!"
[Shouldn't we feel fear? After all, every step we take is part of someone else's calculations. We have no personal freedom at all; we feel like puppets being manipulated.]
Have you ever owned a kitten? Even if the King of Kittens steps on your ribs and breaks them, you'll feel a mix of pain and pleasure, praising its amazing footwork and incredible legs. Do you understand this feeling of "because it's lush, if the whole world explodes, it's the world's fault"?
[The truth is undeniable, but it's a bit strange.]
[What a load of rubbish! The comments section is so obviously biased. Class 6) is clearly being trained by the Boss 1. The thought of the Boss 1 controlling them just feels so good, OK?]
[Two letters?]

Before Osmond and the others could receive accurate news about meeting Qin Su, they received the devastating news that the six students from Class 6 who had disappeared had not yet appeared at the Fourth Military Academy, and that sixty-six students from Class 6 had also disappeared at the Fourth Military Academy.
Qin Su did not ask Class 6) to deliberately conceal the fact that Class 6) was missing people again, and that dozens of people were missing. This news was easily discovered by other students in the same school who had been keeping an eye on Class 6). Soon, speculation appeared on the StarNet about 'guessing who the next lucky one will be'.
[Look at the Executive of our Videson Planet!]
[Vote for the top leader of our Sakye Military District 82 (doge)]
[Make way, our former leader who blew up two buildings just to destroy evidence should be on the list more!]
[I clicked into all of them and saw that they were all using unverified virtual accounts, which seemed very genuine.]
[I'm not acting anymore @When will Osmond die?]
When the people whose names were mentioned opened their Optical Brain, the sky seemed to fall.
[It is suggested that Class 6) select a lucky guest from our vote to deliver takeout.]
[What nonsense are you spouting? Class 6) was clearly following the orders of the God Su to travel and relax. What does Bado's death and the impending death threats faced by others have to do with Class 6)? Didn't you see the official announcement from Erna saying there's no evidence that Class 6) was responsible?]
[Right, why are they panicking? It's reasonable to suspect that those who are panicking have something to hide.]
It's no wonder that killing machines leave behind evidence.
"Last time it was the number 6, this time it's the number 66. It's obvious that it's referring to Class 6. Qin Su... is so arrogant, do we still want to die?" Osmond's panicked and angry voice was very low, and he looked around nervously as he spoke.
The others, also named by Greyliff, were in the same state, unsurprised by Osmond's frightened appearance, and spoke in hushed tones, "We thought the Bado incident would cause enough trouble, but things haven't calmed down yet, and the speed at Class 6) is re-selecting is far too fast."
This left them no time to breathe, forcing them to remain immersed in the panic created by Qin Su.
"Such an organized and disciplined operation makes me suspect they already had a list."
"Isn't that obvious? Everyone knows that Class 6) only listens to Qin Su. It's clear that Qin Su orchestrated all of this, and the Federation isn't doing anything about it? What is that good-for-nothing Patrick doing?"
"How can I manage this? I went to Patrick, and he only asked me if I had any evidence to prove that it was Class 6 that did it or that Qin Su ordered Class 6 to do it. Where am I supposed to find evidence for him?"
A suffocating silence fell over everyone present. So far, apart from knowing that Class 6) was not complete, they had not actually left any evidence against Qin Su, despite his blatant boasting about the number of people he sent out.
Not only did they lack evidence, but everyone except Qin Su and Class 6) lacked evidence.
"How about..." Osmond suggested quietly, "That we all stay together for a while, so we can look out for each other?"
"Osmond, whose side are you on? Isn't this giving them a chance to wipe us all out?" Andrew rolled his eyes.
"If this won't work and that won't work, then tell me what we should do?"
"Bribing some people in Class 6 is fine if they're stubborn, they still have families, don't they?" Andrew sneered. "I don't believe that if we can get their families under control, we can't control them. To be honest, my men have already been dispatched. Either way, you're going to die. Whether you want to take a gamble or not is up to you. Let me make it clear first, I'm only looking out for myself. If you want to live, you'll have to fight for it yourselves."
After Andrew finished speaking, no one said a word. Several people exchanged glances, then relaxed, and stammered angrily, "You all did this secretly without saying a word too?"
