Chapter 318
In less than a minute, led by Sophia, the group appeared at the not-so-spacious Breach. Inside, they saw Corpse Mountain held together by a subtle force, temporarily keeping it still. All the thoughts that had been forming in their minds vanished in an instant, and the wrinkles in their brains seemed to smooth out in a flash. They immediately understood what Sophia had just said.
Patrick stopped in his tracks, his gaze shifting from the stack of rotting corpses to He Muzhi, who stood with his back to him. After a two-second pause, he looked at the Makeshift Cage that He Muzhi was facing, which was clearly newly erected. Simulated Sunlight streamed down from the Breach at the top, touching the Invisible Light Layer reflected from the equipment and causing it to shimmer with faint blue arcs.
Sophia stopped in her tracks without any sign of urging him on. Her gaze followed the person behind her as they looked ahead at He Mu, admiring their shared 'work' while patiently waiting.
Inside the cage, countless emaciated, bloodshot skeletons, unrecognizable from their original forms, convulsed in agony on the ground. Even from a considerable distance, Patrick could hear painful groans emanating from each of those skeletons.
Patrick swallowed hard, his eyes sweeping over the people in Class 6 present. He saw the bloodstains on their Combat Suit, clearly intentionally left by spraying blood. With these marks, those who came later, if they weren't blind, could tell that the miserable and terrifying state of Felix and the others was caused by the people in Class 6.
"..."
Even he, witnessing such a scene firsthand, couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. Class 6) had surrounded the area like this, and there were even people setting up fixed Livestream Equipment in the distance, clearly intending to further amplify the impact of this matter. It was simply... insane and terrifying.
If it were him, he would never be so arrogant as to take such a risk. After all, what he lacks is not deterrence. On the contrary, in order to protect himself and make others continue to think that he is 'safe', what he needs least is deterrence. He cannot let Greyliff and the others think that he is dangerous and difficult to control. Thinking about it this way... (Class 6 is doing now is not what he once thought of but could not do.
Patrick: "..."
I feel much better now.
After trying his best to comfort himself, Patrick continued to move forward.
Sophia noticed Patrick making a move and strode away briskly.
Those behind, who had been in a daze, quickly followed Patrick when they saw him move.
Amidst the clatter of footsteps, the people, having recovered, blurted out all the things they hadn't been thinking about before.
"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!! When I smelled the stench outside, I knew things inside wouldn't be good. But after seeing it with my own eyes, I realized I was too narrow-minded. This situation isn't just bad, it's terrifying! Before, everyone just guessed that those people who died in all sorts of bizarre ways were the work of Class 6. But now, judging from the state of those people who were tortured to death, it's definitely Class 6's doing. Old Wang, do you know, your eyes have become exceptionally clear now."
"... Your words are unclear. I'm afraid I might become one of them... Ugh, look at Felix and the others. It hurts me to see them hurt. I'm terrified now."
"Who can argue with that? If I was still a little resentful when our president gave up bringing people over, now I'm completely disheartened. If it weren't for my pride, I might even have had a fleeting urge to turn around and run away. Sigh, my life has been so bound by pride!"
Considering that the other members of Class 6) present were standing in different positions as they had agreed beforehand, looking down at the people below with disdainful eyes, Sophia thoughtfully turned the microphone on her Combat Suit to the maximum as she moved around, trying her best to get the discussions behind her into the open Communication Channel, so that the students could know from everyone's words that their efforts had not been in vain.
[I can't blame them. It looks so eerie even through the screen. Those with weak birth charts can just go to heaven after reading this.]
[That's not right. Felix and his crew have survived for over a hundred years with blood on their hands. Although they don't use the concept of Bazi (Four Pillars of Destiny) in their interstellar world, according to our standards, their Bazi must be strong. Not only are their Bazi strong, but they also have strong bodies and strong mental fortitude.]
Oh, so what are they doing now?
[Even with his formidable abilities, he couldn't withstand the divine intervention of Qin Su.]
[Blue Basin]
He Muzhi listened carefully to the sounds behind him and turned around when Patrick reached the appropriate position.
The moment he faced Patrick, he saw that he and Patrick were at a normal social distance, and he was secretly satisfied, raising his hand with a blank expression.
Patrick and the men behind him saw He Muzhi suddenly turn around and raise his hand in a series of movements. Their hearts jumped, and they subconsciously gripped their weapons, watching He Muzhi, almost questioning him about his intentions.
Slap slap--
By using his actions to draw everyone's attention to himself, a loud slap followed.
"...?"
No, in that terrifying and dangerous situation, when their hearts were pounding uncontrollably, He Muzhi raised his hand not to have them killed, but merely to clap his hands???
Everyone stared at He Muzhi with expressions of utter disbelief, their brows and eyes conveying utter speechlessness.
(Class 6: "..."
They were certain that if it weren't for the saying "when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head," Patrick and his men would have rolled their eyes long ago.
Ignoring the speechless expressions on everyone's faces, He Muzhi brazenly glanced at Patrick and the people behind him the moment the slap landed, then looked away and calmly delivered the lines they had rehearsed. "Welcome everyone as the first group to visit the newly built Viewers at the Setini Palace. To avoid congestion, the visit will only last ten minutes. Please leave after ten minutes to avoid causing further congestion."
After finishing his speech in a serious tone, He Muzhi stepped back two paces to make room for him, and gestured to Pat to begin. "Everyone, let's begin."
After hearing He Muzhi's words, the silence among the crowd was deafening. The corners of their mouths and eyebrows, which had been holding back their twitches, began to twitch uncontrollably.
Visit?
Treat this place as a tourist attraction?
A bunch of lunatics! Devils! How did Qin Su manage to raise such a group of oddballs?!
As soon as He Muzhi finished speaking, someone from Class 6) immediately dropped a Countdown in the air. The live Livestream Equipment, which was ready, was turned on at that moment, and the Mosaic image instantly appeared on the live streaming page.
[What is this? I look at it—holy crap, it's all Mosaic! Who do they think they're messing with by censoring Mosaic during a live stream?]
[Class 6)! I saw so many familiar faces in Class 6)!]
[!! If I'm not mistaken, Federation President Patrick, I apologize for criticizing too soon. So, the reason they weren't showing the outside was to show us the inside... wait, why can't we see anything besides people? They've shown us nothing!]
[I understand the logic, but where is my dorm? Why can't I see my dorm in every single shot? Are you sore losers? Don't you (Class 6) like to show off things related to my dorm? If you're so capable, show me right now!]
[Use your brain! How could this all-around camera be operated by the person being filmed? It's obviously operated by people from Class 6, who are distributed throughout the various shots. Although it's Mosaic, considering what happened at this location before, it's obvious what those Mosaic are, right?]
[Oh right, I almost forgot about what happened before. The Mosaics around us were mostly black, and when they moved occasionally, they looked like they were about to collapse. But why was the middle section enclosed? The Mosaics looked very fresh, and Mosaic were even moving around. Based on He Muzhi's words, the Mosaics in the middle were the 'scenery' that Patrick and the others saw?! Hiss... That's terrifying. You can imagine how many corpses there were just from the dense Mosaics. I can't imagine how horrific the scene must have been. I feel sorry for the students who were treated as 'Viewers' by Class 6) for three seconds.]
[6. Even with all the Mosaics, you can still tell if it's fresh or not. I won't accept the detective world without you. Hey? Is something moving under that Battle-Damaged Desk? Which one slipped through the net? @ (Class 6]
Is it possible that they deliberately didn't clean it properly?
[What a huge table! Its width and length must take up over 30 square meters! Holy crap, my room is only 13 square meters, this is bigger than my room??? (Off-topic)]
[Many people have started watching the Optical Brain, hahaha, it turns out this live stream was really hosted by Class 6]
[Let me translate, (Class 6 false ideas: scenic spots]
My honest thoughts: Please look at our MVP results!
[ (Class 6: Since we're already here, there are VIP seats... no, N seats!]
[You know Class 6. Given this situation, who would dare to confront them head-on in the future? Whether they just won or just lost, they might quietly become "family members" of this "tourist attraction" in other places.]
[Does anyone still remember Patrick's big move? Now he's dumbfounded, isn't he? Not only is it over long ago, but he's also been treated as a belated 'Viewers' to appreciate his own record. But how can he not be angry? Losing to a bunch of brats from Class 6 who have Qin Su as their cheat code, he should be furious.]
[Well, President Patrick isn't that petty, is he? He's actually a pretty good person. He's had his faults, but he's also done a lot of good things. His only mistake was not being Qin Su's favorite.]
Although he knew many people would tip Patrick off, Qiu Pang still habitually sent Patrick the news that they were being broadcast live. However, after scratching his head and looking for a long time, he didn't see any sign that Patrick had turned on his personal Optical Brain again. After thinking it over, he decided to sneak up behind Patrick and secretly tug at his clothes to signal him to look at his Optical Brain.
Throughout his journey, Patrick's Optical Brain had been receiving constant notifications, but he paid no attention to the new ones until Qiu Pang tugged at him from behind. Thinking that Qiu Pang had sent him some important message, he finally turned on his Optical Brain.
Clicking into the live stream link sent by Qiu Pang, Patrick was genuinely speechless as he looked at the screen full of comments.
"..."
He had already resigned himself to his fate, and he was still part of making (Class 6 famous and prestigious. He knew what (Class 6 had been doing since they arrived, and he also knew (Class 6's purpose, but seeing the 'results' with his own eyes still made him feel complicated.
Patrick maintained his 'calm' expression, shut down his Optical Brain, and stared directly in the direction where He Muzhi was.
Compared to the positions of the remaining Class 6 members, the areas where the others brought in by Class 6 members were located were on the periphery. Further analysis of the positions of Class 6 members revealed that He Muzhi was clearly at the center of the 'focus' position. It is highly likely that He Muzhi was the one who revealed to them, who were treated as 'Viewers,' that Kanasen was the blood-soaked 'skeleton' in the Transparent Cage.
Now that things had come to this, he didn't want to continue torturing himself with his own eyes; he just wanted to know who Kanasen was and get away from this scoundrel as quickly as possible...
'Well, considering what happened to Felix and the others, this place isn't as repulsive as he'd imagined.'
With that thought in mind, and seeing that He Muzhi didn't respond to his gaze, Patrick simply strode over and took the initiative to approach He Muzhi.
As the one who was to reveal Kanasen to the 'first group of visitors', He Muzhi appeared casual, but in reality, he was keeping a close eye on the time and was in a state of high tension. As soon as he saw Patrick take a step, he immediately gave Lin Yin a look.
Without a moment's hesitation, Lin Yin waved to He Muzhi, even before Patrick could react.
He Muzhi walked briskly toward Lin Yin with an air of self-righteousness.
Whether something happens or not is unimportant. The time hasn't come yet, so let's get away with it first. This group of people wasn't on their list. Everyone had their own reasons for being there. Since they were already here, whether they wanted to or not, as their 'hosts,' they had to force them to remember this scene and make sure it left a deep impression on them, so that they would toss and turn in their sleep at night!
"..." Patrick's eyes immediately turned to Sophia and the others who were closest to him, besides He Muzhi.
"Ah, Zhang San, what were you about to ask me?" Sophia didn't hesitate for a moment, then turned and walked away, making up a story without batting an eye.
(Class 6 tacitly moved away from Patrick one after another.
"Oh, Lao Ji, did I leave my things with you? Don't move, I'll get them myself!"
"Oops, look at my brain! Where did I forget that thing?"
"You've already used up all my excuses, so I'm leaving. It's too hard to come up with anything."
"Gogogo!"
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
"Whoa!"
Before Patrick could even look away, he heard a series of voices from the people in Class 6 'talking nonsense' all around him. What made him even angrier was that the people in Class 6 clearly knew that their every move was being watched by many people. At first, they could still find some high-sounding excuses to avoid him, but later they were too lazy to even make up any. They openly 'slacking off' to fool him and the others.
Patrick: "..."
This is utterly lawless! Besides, would he die if he didn't hide? They won't even grant him his wish to leave early? Are they a bunch of lunatics?!
Patrick stopped, cursing under his breath, his expression twisted as he stared at the blood-soaked humanoid figures crawling in the shadows of the cage, trying to discern Kanasen from the disfigured faces and shapes.
He didn't want to go through all that trouble, but he really couldn't handle those brats in Class 6.
[What was originally a rather terrifying and suspenseful situation, the way Class 6) did it made me want to laugh a little. Without Class 6), who will make me laugh, folks? I'm basically supporting them to take over; there will be plenty of fun to watch in the future.]
[No problem]
[Patrick's temperature is too high (doge)]
Am I the only one who finds it funny to watch a horror story they created? Is their behavior naively cruel?
He Muzhi dawdled until there was less than a minute left in the ten-minute period, then took the initiative to walk towards Patrick.
Patrick was the focus of the group behind him. He Muzhi stood in front of Patrick, he was practically right in the center of the 'Viewers'.
After standing still, under Patrick's resentful gaze, He Muzhi reached over and pulled Laser Cannon, thicker than his own arm, from his shoulder.
