Scorching Heat

The class monitor displayed his uninhibited body on the podium, and the shyness he felt at first quickly turned into ambiguity.

Am I beautiful now?

Based on my time with Luo, I guess this image should fit your aesthetic, right?

Unfortunately, time is too tight now, and the situation on campus is somewhat out of my control. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind giving you my first time too.

Thinking about it carefully, given your physical condition, it's definitely not something that can be done in just a few minutes. I can't afford to waste half an hour.

But it's okay. After I completely kill you, I will take your body away as much as possible, and then I will give you the first time.

"Hey~ why aren't you saying anything? Are you shy, or are you thinking about how to kill me? It's okay, I'll give you a chance later."

The class monitor stopped his physical demonstration and pointed a finger directly at Luo Di below the stage.

"Now I'll explain why I need to kill you 'completely'."

Based on the voice coming from the depths of the Corner, I must belong to a very special category. Therefore, during the entire five years I was disguised, I was never forced to kill anyone or anything.

Instead, they assigned me many challenging disguise missions, including the last time we went together to the rather dangerous City Investigation Bureau.

However, I personally also have an "optional task".

That is, before obtaining the ID card in the corner, kill the "closest" human. Moreover, the closer, more special, and more powerful this human is to me, the greater the 'reward' I will receive upon completing the mission.

My initial target was Anna, who I grew up with.

Unfortunately, I underestimated the strength of First Middle School. I had no way of choosing that school as the final place of advancement. I didn't even have the slightest chance to build a gap. There were too many monsters among the students, and there were also investigators stationed there.

I was forced to find some reasons to transfer to No. 4 Middle School.

Xiao Gao was initially on my list, but unfortunately, he wasn't special enough. Just when I was worrying about this, you appeared.

Honestly, I developed real feelings for you during the time we spent together, and I even considered giving up on this mission, since I could still grow in other ways once I reached the depths of the Corner.

However, man proposes, God disposes.

Who would have thought that in Crevice screening involving only four people, an even more unique monster would emerge than myself?

Even the entire environment of the rift was affected by his ability, forcing me to resort to scheming and to regard you as my trump card for the final comeback.

Once I completely kill Luo Di and obtain your intact corpse, the corner will grant me a truly transformative reward.

At that time, I will be confident of becoming the ultimate winner in this Crevice screening.

Alright! That's everything about me. Now I've told you everything, and only you know it.

According to the agreement we reached, it's your turn to tell us: where is the severed arm?

"Infirmary"

The class monitor, who had finally obtained the information, showed no joy whatsoever. Instead, an unnatural smile crept onto his lips.

Actually, I already guessed it.

Gao Yuxuan had a bunch of medicine on him, and you've lost your arm and are bandaged up, so you must have gone to the infirmary. The severed arm is being preserved in cold storage, and you can go to the hospital to have it reattached once everything is over.

I just wanted to take this opportunity to let you get to know me better and make our relationship 'closer' so that I could get more rewards after I killed you.

Haha~

Luo Di, don't get killed so easily. Do you remember what I told you before you went to high school? You must give it your all.

The more you resist, the stronger you become, the more satisfied the corner will be, and the more I will gain.

Squeak~

The class monitor zipped up the outfit again, canceling the display mode; she now needed to rely on the effect of the Investigator uniform.

Throw it!

The head that was placed on the lectern was suddenly thrown at us by the class monitor.

If it were someone else's head, that would be one thing.

The head compelled Luo Di to instinctively reach out and catch it, and he had to catch it.

His attention was thus completely focused on the head, and as he looked at the already fading pupils, Luo Di's whole body trembled.

In just a moment of distraction, the class monitor on the podium was gone.

Her speed was astonishing; she was already standing behind Luo Di.

Ten sharp, jet-black claws swung down in a crisscross pattern.

Whoosh!

Luo Di instinctively rolled forward, smashing through three desks in a row... However, a large amount of blood flowed down his back, and there were even strips of torn flesh left on the ground.

Even though he reacted immediately, he still couldn't avoid the squad leader's attack; it was too fast.

The entire back was almost cut open, and parts of the spine and ribs were even visible.

The squad leader looked at the skin clinging to his fingernails, tilting his head.

"Wow, it's so hard~ To be honest, the boost from the Corner-transforming item shouldn't be this high. This is the lowest level of pituitary use... I can easily cut through even a security guard wearing a regular combat uniform."

They only cut the skin, they didn't even sever the spine.

"It's so hard, Luo Di!"

Luo Di had already stood up again amidst the messy desks and looked at the class monitor, his attention undiminished by his back injury.

Adrenaline is secreted to its maximum extent.

The brain is also processing the current information at top speed.

The two differ too much in speed.

The current class monitor is probably more agile than all the physical education teachers in the school. He is even more adept in the dark, making it almost impossible for him to hit his opponent with the blade in his hand.

We must make use of the current environment.

Thinking of this,

Luo Di's legs had Zombie Transformation, and with a powerful kick, he sent the desk and chair in front of him flying.

The class monitor, who could have easily avoided the situation, simply stood still.

Just as the tables and chairs were about to hit her...

Whoosh!

They were all cut into harmless chunks.

Then, several more tables and chairs were kicked over, but the result remained the same.

In terms of both speed and aggression, the squad leader was far more deadly than Pseudo-Human Luo Di had ever faced, not to mention that she had been disguised for five years.

The class monitor looked at the shredded desk and shook his head helplessly.

"It's a bit disappointing. I thought you could have done better."

It's not entirely your fault, after all, you lost an entire hand and your whole body is wrapped in bandages.

The gap between us is indeed too large, so there's only one option left...

Before the class monitor could finish her flippant remark, Luo Di suddenly adopted a standard running stance and charged straight at her.

Even with only one hand used for arm swinging, the running posture remained perfectly standard.

Especially Luo Di's eyes, which were exactly the same as when he fought Spider Woman head-on, with Red Vein Through Eye.

and,

The class monitor also keenly noticed a detail.

The "Zombie Blade," which should have been in Luo Di's hands, was nowhere to be found—the only weapon that might pose a threat to her.

"Huh? When you kicked the table and chair at me just now, did you hide the knife? And what's with that look in your eyes? You're just like a serial killer in a movie! Hey! I'm clearly the one who's more assertive, okay?"

Due to the emergence of uncertainties and Luo Di's murderous gaze,

This caused the squad leader to waver slightly, temporarily abandoning his plan for a direct attack.

tiptoe

They retreated quickly with extremely agile dance steps.

Even just retreating would give him the same speed as Luo Di's full-speed sprint.

Using the time gained by retreating, the squad leader continued searching for the "knife."

"Where's the knife? Could it be that Luo Di's body has Complete Fusion with the Corner-transforming item? Impossible... If it were fused, the zombie features would be even more obvious."

Hiding it behind your arm, or tucking it into your back? That's not right either.

etc..."

The class monitor suddenly thought of something.

At that moment, she had retreated to the very back of the classroom, her back against the wall, and she also caught a glimpse of the "Zombie Blade" stuck in the wall.

The knife was thrown out along with the desk that had been kicked away earlier; it had already been planted there beforehand.

Luo Di was betting on this very moment.

The two stood at the back of the classroom, facing each other, and Luo Di's right hand was already gripping the hilt of his knife.

The muscles and veins on his arm bulged, unleashing all his power! The sharp blade sliced through the wall, slashing towards the squad leader's body.

Tick-tock tick-tock~

Fresh blood dripped down.

The class monitor performed a graceful two-and-a-half-turn in the air, leaving his original position and landing steadily on the podium.

She even leisurely leaned against the blackboard, gently licking the wound on her right hand and sucking out the corpse poison inside.

Snap!

Luo Di, however, knelt on one knee in the back row of the classroom.

Three deep wounds were torn open in his chest, penetrating to the bone, and two of his ribs were cut open.

Snap~ Snap~

The class monitor clapped his hands again.

"To be able to come up with such a method under those conditions, you truly deserve to be called Luo."

If you hadn't hesitated for a moment, you might have been able to cut off one of my arms completely.

Does being face-to-face with someone bring back any fond memories?

Why are your flaws so hard to change?

The class monitor stepped down from the podium.

Like walking on a red carpet, with elegant steps, he gradually approached the dying Luo Di, preparing for the final execution.

This time, her focus was completely heightened, and she would no longer be caught off guard by any tricks.

certainly,

Luo Di was on the verge of death; his body could no longer hold on.

Even if he wanted to swing the knife, he couldn't muster his full strength; he couldn't even cut a single finger.

The outcome is already decided.

Unlike his intense determination to survive on the Athletics Field, Luo Di glanced at the head beside him and the headless body not far away, seemingly ready to embark on the journey with Gao Yuxuan.

Everything will come to an end here.

He even somewhat hoped that such a period could come a few years earlier.

The class monitor approached step by step, her sharp claws raised high. Just as she passed the last row of desks...

A figure suddenly rushed out of the classroom's front door, leaping across the desks without stopping.

There was no attack of any kind; they simply hugged the squad leader tightly from behind.

The person who unexpectedly broke in was none other than Xiao Ying, who had been separated from her.

She actually found this place alone, witnessed the two fighting each other, and confirmed the class monitor's true identity.

She was very clear about her own position; she was just an average high school student with good grades, utterly incapable of counter Imposters. All she wanted was to buy as much time as possible so that the other person could survive.

"Luo Di! Hurry! The homeroom teacher and the others might have already gone to the infirmary. If you run there, maybe they can help..."

Before he could finish speaking...

A sharp claw had pierced through Xiao Ying's body, lifting her high into the air.

The puncture site seemed to be the heart. Before Xiao Ying could even utter a word, her mind went completely blank and her vision blurred.

Even at the very last moment, she was still staring at the class monitor and Luo Di in front of her.

She kept wishing them well, hoping they could continue like this, and hoping that she could go to the capital to reunite with everyone in the future.

"Class... monitor..."

Snap!

That small body, less than 1.6 meters tall, was thrown to the ground.

It landed right next to Luo Di.

The class monitor scratched his head, looking puzzled.

"Hmm? That's strange, why is Xiao Ying here?"

I clearly set up a trap on the way, she shouldn't be here disturbing our time together, right?

"Forget it, she's already paid the price for it, so I'll forgive her."

As soon as he finished speaking,

An unimaginable killing intent surged forth, hum!

The jet-black blade slashed out diagonally.

The class monitor immediately dodged backward, performing three backflips before landing back on the podium, tilting his head in utter bewilderment.

"Hmm? Using Deep Zombie Transformation to forcibly stop the bleeding? Your physical condition is really exaggerated. An ordinary person would have died long ago."

Ta~

A snapping sound suddenly echoed throughout the classroom.

Luo Di's condition is strange.

After finishing his sword strike, he suddenly sat down cross-legged.

He even closed his eyes.

Completely disregarding the immediate danger,

Close your eyes and click your tongue.

The overwhelming emotional impact, like a tsunami, caused a change in the pituitary gland in Luo Di's brain, and the voice from the corner came a second time.

Do you want to live? If you agree now, I'll let you live.

However,

Facing the invitation in the corner,

Luo Di's response was only one:

"I work from 8 AM!"

He retrieved that "Hell Symbol" deep within his brain, etched in his memory indelible, appearing even in his nightly dreams, and his body began to heat up...
