Rewards of Color

[Fourth Middle School], [College Entrance Exam], [Teacher Guo]

The three keywords immediately brought Luo Di's thoughts back to the night of his college entrance exam.

Looking back, it was in that crevice that I first met Teacher Guo at the Athletics Field.

Luo Di clearly remembers that Teacher Guo did not seem like a Pseudo-Human involved in the intermediary at all. He neither killed the teachers and students nor hunted down other Pseudo-Human. Instead, he was doing something else.

At that time, in the stadium,

Teacher Guo stood in front of the Metal Container used for physical education tests.

According to the Gaokao guidelines, it contains a controllable derivative, roughly equivalent to the strength of Pseudo-Human for half a year.

The source of the derivative is a special being that has been housed in the capital and has reached a cooperation agreement with humanity, a being that Transcendent Imposter.

Derivatives are formed by extracting cells from the other party and injecting them into a suitable corpse.

As the seam descends.

At the time, Luo Di had never been exposed to derivatives and had no idea about their properties.

The only thing we know is that Teacher Guo seemed to be talking to the derivatives, and it seems that after leaving the stadium, he rushed to the next container holding the derivatives.

Looking back now

Teacher Guo's secret mission is to dismantle the containers throughout the school and release the derivatives.

After making his deduction, Luo Di immediately inquired about the dissipating colors.

"You are... a monster contained in the capital? A special being that has formed a deep partnership with humans, deploying cell-derived organisms to high schools across the country?"

The fading color head responded, "Oh? I didn't expect you to react so quickly, after all, we've never met before."

Hmm, quick thinking, that's really impressive.

"You were clearly being held in the capital, did you escape because of the Fourth Middle School Incident?"

"How could it be so easy to escape? The humans in the capital are still quite terrifying. Besides, I'm a member of the 'family faction'... Otherwise, why would humans choose to cooperate with me on such an important matter as national college entrance examinations?"

I was a great help.

It was just that the incident at No. 4 Middle School allowed a small part of me to sneak out and have some fun, and to gather some creative inspiration.

Of course, I also brought some things down from the main body in the corner, otherwise, it would be difficult to guarantee the head's independence for a long time with just those trivial cells.

I never expected to meet you all here again, outstanding students from No. 4 High School.

"Isn't this island your testing ground?"

"I guess you could call it that. To be precise, it was a sudden inspiration that led to this idea, and you guys allowed me to fully develop and expand upon it, creating a very interesting short story."

I can't wait to write this story down and get it published.

"You..."

The other person's words shattered all of Luo Di's previous deductions, leaving him completely baffled as to what this person wanted to do or what their true intentions were.

At this moment, the colorful head looked at the sisters present.

"The story has ended. Congratulations on completing the Wanted Poster. I hope you can venture into the depths of the shadows. Your teamwork and final performance exceeded my expectations of a typical Pseudo-Human. Thank you very much for your storytelling."

These words left Hua Yuan somewhat dumbfounded; she couldn't understand the being before her at all.

Subsequently,

The colored head turned back to Luo Di, looking at the miniature torture device in his hand used to seal the pituitary gland.

"As for you, Luo Di, you are undoubtedly the most outstanding performer in this final carnival. You deserve a reward greater than the Wanted Poster."

And you already have that reward in your hands.

Since arriving on the island, I have been residing in your mind by the light of the stars, gradually adapting to your body and sensing the world you are connected to.

My colors are ever-changing, adapting to everything in the world.

During the few days we've spent "spending time together," I've already found the color that best suits your body... The pituitary gland you hold in your hand will begin to evolve after my incarnation dissipates, settling towards your unique color.

In other words,

You can choose to make good use of it; its value is no less than the reward given by the Wanted Poster.

It's a pity, really! Although my original intention was to collect creative materials, when I saw you, the student named by Teacher Guo, unexpectedly arrive on the island, it stirred up my own desires.

I really want to accept your body, to try to become a special connector, to peer into the world behind you, and perhaps that it will help me write an epic novel.

I never imagined that even though your mind was completely overwhelmed, you could still put up the most basic resistance through your subconscious, and even use pain to achieve a brief moment of clarity, and make a choice in a short time to break free from my control by committing self-destruction.

Although I don't know how you were resurrected,

But it is necessarily directly related to self-destruction and to the world you are connected to.

Furthermore, the world you connect to is incredibly fascinating. Although I only peeked in for a few seconds, I witnessed an epic panorama of hell.

This is no hell that can be formed from a corner.

Perhaps it is the source of all hell.

Even if I Body Snatching your body, I still won't gain recognition from the other side.

You are the only designated connector.

Very good... You'll probably be visiting the capital soon. Remember to come see me then; we can talk about more profound things, or maybe something about the pituitary gland."

Luo Di did not respond, but instead gripped the miniature torture device tightly in his hand. He would make his own judgment on how to dispose of and use this special pituitary gland.

As for the special being before us...

Perhaps I'll pay him a visit when Luo Di is promoted to Capital Investigator.

The village chief's body was still half intact, and the colorful head finally turned to another person, a Pseudo-Human who seemed most special to him, looking at the blonde girl Girl.

"Miss Wu, is that right?"

"Yes."

"It seems that when you boarded the ship, you had already completed the complete separation of your avatar and main body through childbirth."

You are constantly assuming that the entire island may be fraught with danger, and your own being is never illuminated by starlight, perfectly disguising yourself as part of the hotel.

Your position seems quite unique; these Pseudo-Human are unaware of your clandestine methods.

Hmm~ If I were to use my imagination, perhaps you have a special purpose, a selfish purpose, a purpose of desire, or a purpose of ambition.

If you complete the Wanted Poster against me, the corner should reward you with Advanced Status, right?

Miss Wu, would you like to come to my side?

Your disguise is akin to imitation; perhaps it can help me complete the relevant work.

This person extended an olive branch directly to Wu Wen.

In Luo Di's view, this might be a great opportunity to break away from the sorority, and he thought the class monitor would probably agree.

"Thank you, Mr. Kraft. I appreciate your kindness. I have my own plans, but if we happen to meet again in the future, I'd be happy to offer you any assistance I can, for a fee."

"It's so hard to find people for my studio, oh well~ I never force anyone."

That's all for now~ Thank you again for participating, you are the brightest stars tonight.

If you have any complaints about me, you are welcome to come and settle the score with me in depths of the Corner anytime...

The village chief made a very gentlemanly exit gesture.

The colors that had surrounded the body faded away, and the entire island returned to its original state.

at the same time,

Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. The pressure of death that had been building up inside them was completely released, replaced by the joy of surviving and the pleasure of potentially moving deeper into the unknown.

However, no one laughed out loud.

The class monitor stood to Luo Di's left, and Hua Yuan stood to his right.

Their eyes met at that moment.

A subtle atmosphere is forming.

Even the seawater became calm and stopped washing the beach.

Just when everyone thought a conflict was about to break out, Hua Yuan suddenly burst into laughter and reverted to her most normal form, that of a victimized Girl.

"Haha~ So that's the real reason why you came to the island, Mr. Di."

"Hey~ Remember to ask me to be your bridesmaid when you two get married. Otherwise, I'll beat you up first Wu Wen, and then, right in front of you, beat up Mr. Di!"

"Thank you, Sister Hua."

Wu Wen bowed her head sincerely in gratitude, knowing full well that without Hua Yuan, this final step would never have been possible.

However, Wu Wen's sincere gratitude caused Hua Yuan's expression to change drastically, and he almost couldn't help but kick her.

"Don't fucking give me that. If you really want to thank me, give me Mr. Mr. Di. Fuck you... Never mind~ I should be happy now, after all, I'm about to go to the corner."
