Chapter 298

What kind of scene did Qin Su not want to see? Don't worry about these details, anyway, he himself doesn't know. Let everyone think what they want. The scarier it is, the more advantageous it is for him. Before Lailisi returned, he deliberately leaked the fact that Lailisi would bring people with her through conversation. Many people mistakenly thought that Lailisi would bring a huge army. But the fact is that the army that Lailisi brought, plus the army that he, Lin Yin, and Samuel brought, is not as many as the number of people in Class 6 who have formed several interest groups in private for various reasons.

For some reason, Sophia and her alliance of interests were exceptionally successful in filling the void left by the kidnapping and death of Greyliff and others. As a result, the people Sophia brought were not only numerous but also highly skilled.

But he had secretly spoken with Sophia had clearly told him that she would not participate in any disputes within Class 6, nor would she take sides. He could only try to delay the time and maintain the current situation of undercurrents but superficial peace before receiving more instructions from Qin Su. It was also his fault for being too naive, thinking that everyone was like them, and that he would honestly only bring trusted people and teams to participate in the operation.

Upon hearing the voice in his ear, Qin Su moved the Electronic Eye image related to He Muzhi to a position where his eyes could immediately scan it. He quietly slowed down the speed at which he was adjusting his actions, curious and expectant about how much adjustment time He Muzhi's nonsense could buy him, and to what extent it could ensure the safety of him and some of the Class 6 members. After all, in the dense crowd, more than two-thirds of the people looked at He Muzhi and the others with very strange expressions.

"..."

Lailisi glanced around discreetly, her heart sinking slightly. It seemed the others were intimidated, but... how long could they be fooled? In her brief scan, she had seen a large number of people who could be described as 'a mess,' with tarnished reputations, and many of them had long-standing grudges against each other. She worried that before they even received Qin Su's next instructions, they might start fighting amongst themselves.

Because He Muzhi deliberately raised his voice, almost everyone around him could clearly hear what He Muzhi was saying. Even those who were so far away that He Muzhi could barely see them were able to hear He Muzhi speech clearly thanks to the information provided by their own people in front of them.

If, before they were approached by people from (6), the outside world's perception of the split within Class 6) was merely suspicion without concrete evidence, the current situation clearly demonstrates to them the fact that discord has arisen within Class 6). After all, even if they don't know the people in Class 6) very well, how could they not know those in the crowd who would drool and tear each other apart at the mere smell of their presence?

If it were just He Muzhi alone, in this huge, enclosed space, if they cooperated with the other students from Class 6 to target He Muzhi, Raymond, and others who had fewer people, they might not necessarily lose.

However, He Muzhi mentioned Qin Su and brazenly showed that the orders he received were different from those of the other students in Class 6). This immediately made them afraid to make any rash moves and forced them to give up many ideas.

He Muzhi waited quietly for five seconds, observing that everyone looked at their own people in response to his words, their expressions varied. He heard no one question his words, so he spoke again with fifty percent more confidence, "It seems everyone has no objections to what I said, so..."

He Muzhi stopped speaking, looked at the students of Class 6) who hadn't even had a chance to analyze his speech with their team, and calmly said amidst the puzzled gazes around him, "Everyone, three minutes, see you at the Old Meeting Place."

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone in Class 6) showed a knowing look on their faces, and then subconsciously looked at each other from different distances, trying to see from each other's eyes whether the other person knew about He Muzhi's actions in advance.

"?"

What the Old Meeting Place? Why are you speaking in riddles in front of them?

The group of people, brought here by different people from Class 6), looked at each other in bewilderment. They saw the same confusion in each other's eyes as they did in their own, and unanimously cast their puzzled gazes toward the people from Class 6).

Before anyone could figure out what was going on, He Muzhi immediately strode through the crowd amidst the varied gazes of countless people, feigning confidence and certainty. He claimed to have earned Qin Su's trust and had learned in advance from Qin Su that others could not obtain information. In reality, he secretly exchanged glances with several group leaders he was on good terms with and who had no conflict of interest with him at the moment.

Lailisi was close to He Muzhi. Although she was also confused about He Muzhi, she did not show any abnormality on her face. She acted as if she also knew the 'insider information' that the other (Class 6 did not know. She calmly followed He Muzhi to the Old Meeting Place that only the Class 6 knew. As they walked, they saw many group leaders who were personally divided by Qin Su in the Fourth Military Academy following along with normal expressions. The heart that was hanging in the air finally settled down.

The others who hadn't moved initially saw many people from Class 6 following the Class 6 group. After hesitating for a few seconds, even if they weren't happy about it or even had doubts, they followed along, afraid that He Muzhi had conveyed some information that they didn't know about on behalf of Qin Su. The people behind them were brought by them, and if they couldn't satisfy them, just like many people had mocked them privately or openly over the past year, they were already marginalized members of Class 6. If they didn't actively participate in group 'activities' and try to find out as much as possible, they would not only become more and more marginalized, but they would also be targeted in the future because they didn't satisfy them.

Everyone knows that besides He Muzhi, Qin Su only has his eye on those group leaders. Qin Su has been openly distancing himself from them for some time now, so if anything really happens to them, the chances of Qin Su of them are slim.

'You secretly got promoted to the next level by Qin Su behind my back?!'

'You think I didn't want to? That's because I didn't... The case is solved! You're trash too!'

"You're trash! Every single one of your cells is useless!"

'Hehe, you—'

Raymond naturally sidled up with Jeffrey, pretending to be serious. As they walked, he would either accidentally step on Jeffrey's foot twice or elbow him while swinging his arm naturally. Taking this opportunity, they would silently spar for a while. Then, he would set his sights on Sophia in front of him and walk forward in almost the same direction, side by side with Sophia on the left and right.

If they remembered correctly, Sophia didn't show even a second of surprise throughout the entire process. She was so confident that it seemed as if she, like He Muzhi, had been informed by Qin Su in advance, making them, who had no inside information and relied entirely on feigning composure, seem out of place.

Sophia's brow twitched. Although she didn't have eyes in the back of her head and was too embarrassed to open her Optical Brain camera to peek at what the people behind her were doing in full view of everyone, she could roughly guess what the two of them had exchanged during the elbow strike based on the commotion behind her and Raymond and Jeffrey's behavior when they were together.

They're probably just like her, knowing nothing and only stubbornly sticking to their guns.

"Really?"

"That's not important. What's important is that they've all gone. Do you dare not go? Aren't you afraid of being plotted against? If you go, at least you'll know what they're up to."

"No, the main problem is that I'm not sure if this is Qin Su's idea or He Muzhi's own. What if He Muzhi is just making things up? Why should we listen to his arrangements and go wherever he tells us to go? We clearly have more people than him."

"Judging from his confident and certain demeanor, he must be relaying Qin Su's message. Even though I don't particularly like him, I still trust his character. Besides, Sophia and Jeffrey went with us, leaving us alone means that the people inside Class 6 haven't done anything to us. We'll have to be..."

(Class 6 6 disappeared from sight in groups. The several armies that had been tense looked at each other with a sense of bewilderment, like drawing their swords and looking around. They all fell into a silent silence.

"They (Class 6) left together so affectionately, so what are we?"

You're probably thinking: Are you kidding us?

"It's fine if they're just playing around, but I'm afraid they'll keep putting on an act, making us think they've really dismantled Class 6) by sowing discord, and we'll be fooled into coming here, just waiting to wipe us out."

"It's not that bad. We can let it go, but didn't you see Sophia and her group brought elite troops? Qin Su wouldn't possibly take them down too..."

"Didn't you ever consider that they were responsible for wiping us out? Have you forgotten the 'hostages' past? The more I talk about it, the more I suspect that this was all a scheme orchestrated by Qin Su, Class 6) was simply following Qin Su's orders to mislead us!"

"So what do we do now?"

"Don't look up, and don't even try anymore. I tried a minute ago, and it's impossible to hack in! Unless Master Qin Su opens the exit himself, we have no way out!"

"Are we hostages for the upcoming live stream?"

" (Class 6 is actually the second generation of Kanasen!"

"What? The live stream of the killings that will continue for six hours from the Ossotalia Empire will start?"

Different analyses spread from several small circles, becoming increasingly outlandish, causing widespread panic.

[Who wouldn't think twice after seeing this?]

[What they said has made me doubt my own memory. Did I miss something?]

[To be clear, no. I went back and checked for fifteen minutes, and King Su definitely did not show any special favor to He Muzhi.]

Qin Su: "?"

After using his name to deliberately separate the students of Class 6 from the opposing factions of the military, who were already at odds with each other, they were distracted and forced to focus on guessing Class 6's movements to avoid them, thus preventing them from dealing with the grudges between the two sides. At the same time, they also put Class 6 in solitary confinement.

"..."

Having learned from past mistakes of not being able to connect with his classmates' thoughts, Qin Su was not sure if he was once again judging others by his own petty standards. He put aside the plan he had just adjusted and decided to continue to observe secretly while keeping an eye on the panic caused by the rumors that spread more and more outrageous because Class 6) had been sent away by He Muzhi.

──

Upon returning to the familiar space, before Samuel confirmed that the place was locked down, He Muzhi, having chosen the seat next to Qin Su before them, and with no one daring to sit there after him, all tacitly avoided the position at the head of the oval conference table, continued to use Qin Su's remaining influence to initiate the argument, "Now that there are no outsiders here, let's all speak, what do you mean?"
