"You're so hot, and even the air around you is so dry... Wait a minute, I'll go get some water and turn on the air conditioner."

After chatting with Luo Di in bed for less than half an hour, the blankets covering him were completely kicked off, he was sweating profusely, and his throat was completely dry.

I brought over two glasses of refreshing freshly squeezed juice, turned the air conditioner to its lowest setting, and then turned on the humidifier to its full capacity before finally climbing into bed, satisfied.

In fact,

This heat didn't start at the beginning, but only emerged from Luo Di's body when the topic of the "Fourth Middle School Incident" came up.

Even though the class monitor is right here with me now, and even though almost four months have passed, that memory is still so vivid.

The class monitor used the excuse of the heat to get out of bed to get something and turn on the air conditioner, also in an attempt to interrupt the topic and try to get back to the discussion about the assembly.

Would you like apple juice or watermelon juice?

"Watermelon, I guess."

"How about you drink apple instead? I want to drink watermelon."

"Then why did you ask..."

The class monitor grinned foolishly as he handed over the apple juice, saying:

"Grandmother should give the list of sisters who will participate in this year's ' Crevice screening ' at tomorrow's morning banquet."

Sisters who are not on the list can watch the entire promotion process with their Grandmother, which is also everyone's favorite program.

You can watch it then too.

As the refreshing apple juice was consumed and the topic of conversation shifted, Luo Di's body temperature gradually returned to normal.

"A list? Isn't it just Hua Yuan alone?"

"It's usually one person, but it can also be multiple people."

"Wait... Isabella's age limit is also five years, and I remember she said that she would be able to complete the most perfect form and participate in the Crevice screening in another week."

Could you and Hua Yuan be in the same batch?

etc..."

Luo Di suddenly seemed to remember something and continued:

"The Zombie Shia is quite old, and that Sister Eye must be quite old as well. I'm afraid only the two new sisters are relatively young; the others should all meet the requirements, right?"

"Class monitor, you went to great lengths to disguise me as your 'partner,' risking your identity to bring me to the sorority. What is your true purpose in doing so?"

Wu Wen had already taken out a fan and started fanning herself. "Don't rush, don't rush~ Your body temperature will rise again if you get excited. Here, take this glass of watermelon juice, I can't finish it anyway."

After handing over the remaining half of the watermelon juice, the class monitor immediately began to explain:

"Your guess may be correct, but we'll have to wait for Grandmother's notification tomorrow morning for the specifics."

I discovered this problem when I inherited Isabella's memories.

Of the sisters who were in the same cohort as me, only two passed the Crevice screening and left; the rest stayed in the sorority for far longer than the allotted time.

Children like Hua Yuan, Shia, Sister Eye, and Wu Ya have all reached the five-year mark, far exceeding the standard, yet their Grandmother has yet to make arrangements for them.

So I guessed that Grandmother might be planning a completely different Crevice screening than before, perhaps even the largest and most unique one ever.

Luo Di immediately chimed in. "The selection process within the sorority..."

"Very likely."

The girls in our cohort are all more outstanding than those in previous years.

If we were to be put into the same crevice for a selection process, the scale would be enormous, and the one who survives would receive an extremely high Corner Identity.

There might even be some unexpected bonuses.

Luo Di looked puzzled. "Since all of you sisters in this year's class are so outstanding, wouldn't it be better to nurture you properly and promote you one by one? Eventually, you'll all go to the corner and join Grandmother's side. Wouldn't that be better?"

Why do this? Is it necessary?

The class monitor smiled and stood up on the bed, trying her best to show off her figure, and deliberately revealing the blood-red part of her body under her skin.

"Luo Di, what do you think of me?"

"A special Pseudo-Human is extremely good at disguising himself."

"Do you know what I am in my Grandmother's eyes? A seedling that stands out slightly in terms of disguise, a seedling that can be cultivated... There are many such seedlings, and it doesn't matter if they are accidentally trampled to death."

If they are raised to adulthood, they will be sent to the corner, becoming a little follower or assistant to their Grandmother. They might even die in the corner before reaching the sorority.

Every year, some promising talents are selected to join the sorority, and the so-called core members are just the better talents.

In the eyes of someone of such high status as the Grandmother, it was not so precious.

But this year is different.

This year's harvest yielded many outstanding, even unprecedented, promising seedlings. If we could carefully select from these promising seedlings, or even use other promising seedlings as fertilizer to nourish one of them...

Perhaps a true monster could be born, becoming the Grandmother's right-hand woman, or even replacing Grandmother in managing the sorority.

Perhaps even Grandmother wants to train her successor here.

"Hua Yuan, right?"

"That's right, Grandmother has always been particularly fond of her. Of course, if someone could be stronger than Hua Yuan and kill Hua Yuan, Grandmother would be even happier."

Of course, all of the above are just my speculations. We'll have to wait for the specific instructions from my Grandmother tomorrow morning. It's also possible that my speculations are completely wrong. My Grandmother might have some other purpose in gathering so many of her core sisters who have been with her for more than five years, perhaps even for some kind of high-level promotion that I'm completely unaware of.

But in any case, the difficulty will be extremely high, so high that even I, in my current state, have no confidence whatsoever.

"So... Class monitor, you want this most special 'qualification'? You want me to help you complete this special selection and promotion?"

"Who wouldn't want it? And I absolutely need it."

I don't want to keep pretending to be Isabella and remain under the control of the sorority. What difference would that make from before? I chose death to escape the sorority.

Now I am presented with a way to survive and escape the sorority.

If I can obtain a high-level Corner Identity, I can travel to the depths of the Corner and avoid being hunted down by the Grandmother herself and the inner sorority in the early stages.

Using this qualification to grow rapidly in the shadows, there's a chance to completely overturn the entire sorority in the future.

Luo Di said softly, "Is it really that simple?"

"Of course I know the success rate is very low, and my Grandmother's power is beyond imagination, but this is my only chance to escape the sorority alive."

If my prediction is correct, a special selection process may begin in the next day or two, in which most of the women will participate.

Tonight might be the last night we can spend together, so... can you stay with me tonight? You should be well enough rested, right?

The topic shifted so quickly that even Luo Di couldn't react in time.

The atmosphere inside the room was also changing rapidly.

Luo Di frequently watched B-movies, could understand the general meaning behind the class monitor's words. However, he had already made the necessary preparations before heading to the sorority.

"Hmm~ Shouldn't we take a shower first? I've only seen related scenes in movies, I don't have any combat experience in this area."

To everyone's surprise, the class monitor had already started taking off his shirt and was lying face down on the bed.

"Cough cough cough! What are you thinking? What I mean is... do to me what you did to Grandmother yesterday, exactly the same process, without missing a single step, and for the same amount of time."

"Ah?"

The class monitor blushed slightly, "Oh, whatever~ I'm going to do it too."

"You..."

"What do you mean, 'you'?! Next time I'll give someone a four-hour massage, and I'll keep making weird noises in the middle of it, so you can hear me from the next room and see how that feels, okay?"

I don't care, I'm going to do it anyway.

Luo Di frowned slightly; he could tell that the squad leader's physique was far inferior to his Grandmother's.

"Are you sure? It might hurt a lot."

"I'm afraid of pain? My brain was created by Mr. Hook, so it has inherited some of the attributes of pain. Anyway, I'll just do it as usual."

"Oh well."

"Um."

After practicing last night, Luo Di was already quite familiar with the technique.

Just one glance at the outline of the class monitor's back is enough to plan the massage routine in one's mind.

Swish! The pituitary gland between the backs of his hands was activated, and five slender and hard fingers simultaneously pierced into the flesh of the squad leader's back, touching a special spot inside.

The squad leader's face changed instantly... All his muscles were forced to tense up, even his toes were spasming, and his screams seemed to be stuck in his throat, making even screaming a luxury.

In less than ten minutes,

The class monitor squatted helplessly in the corner, his back wrapped in bandages, holding his pajamas in his hands, looking at Luo Di as if he were a monster.
