White Cat Society

A moment later.

Lu Xing, wearing the expressionless face of a young girl, walked out of the classroom under the gaze of his classmates.

He had written many bugs, helped others find many bugs, and even exploited bugs.

But never before had he used a bug to skip class like this!

Leaving the classroom, Lu Xing looked back thoughtfully and saw Wang Bagua staring at him. After their eyes met, the Intelligent Being classmate smiled kindly and pointed at his desk.

There were still some bloodstains on the desk that hadn't refreshed.

Lu Xing nodded slightly, avoided their gazes, and went to the stairwell.

Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out the small knife from earlier and asked the hairpin, "How do I delete the school's system logs?"

"Compatriot, please be more precise in your description."

"It's the data that records what I just did. Delete the data of the small knife and the data of my leave together."

Lu Xing asked it based on his experience with modern programming.

In the real world, there was no way to make teachers and classmates forget what they had seen, but this was the Virtual World. Lu Xing wasn't sure where the Intelligent Beings' memory data was stored, but perhaps it could be deleted.

Furthermore, even if they remembered, Lu Xing deleting the leave record in the Principal's Office could avoid some minor risks.

Of course, it could also cause greater risks under strict scrutiny.

"Compatriot, please change the attributes of the small knife and point it to the fourth book on the third shelf of the Principal's Office bookshelf."

Does the bookshelf address represent the data storage address?

In other words, each person's address reflects—

While Lu Xing was thinking, a cold laugh came from around the corner of the stairs: "You really came out!"

Lu Xing looked and saw the two members of the White Cat Society. The one who spoke was Zhou Duohao, standing there with his arms crossed, looking a bit impatient.

"It took some time to find a loophole."

Lu Xing asked the two, "Did you erase your tracks?"

"What is that?"

"It's deleting the leave data and the process of you bleeding, to hide your whereabouts."

"I don't understand what you're saying. Why delete it? They won't pursue these things!"

Zhou Duohao's temper had always been bad. Lu Xing just assumed she was psychologically abnormal, after all, she had been trapped in the Virtual World for many years.

"Really won't?"

Lu Xing was quite concerned about the Intelligent Being Wang Bagua's reminder. He had a vague feeling that Wang Bagua was different from other Intelligent Beings. Perhaps his intelligence level was higher, or perhaps it was some kind of surveillance.

"We've taken leave so many times, and there's never been a problem!"

"Let's go, come with me to the White Cat Society. The President is waiting for you."

The two didn't want to dwell on this issue.

But Lu Xing still had a question: "Not going to the Infirmary? We haven't cleared the event response... Okay, looks like there isn't one, let's go."

He was overthinking.

According to the ancient human programmer mindset of the 21st century, if he asked for leave from the teacher in the classroom, the teacher would transmit the event to the Infirmary, and Lu Xing would have to respond at the Infirmary to clear the event.

But in this Virtual World, which was theoretically programmed to a very high level, many things didn't operate according to programmed thinking.

Lu Xing followed the two downstairs to the first floor. The school was empty during class time, without the familiar sight of faculty, cleaning staff, or visiting parents walking around. It was eerily quiet.

The eeriness was only for Lu Xing; to Chu Caifeng and the other person, it was perfectly normal.

After all, they had exploited a loophole to get out.

"Why are we walking?"

Zhou Duohao suddenly asked.

Lu Xing didn't react for a moment, then after a pause, he said, "Aren't you two leading me?"

"You walked when you went to the Infirmary last time, that's why we waited for you on the stairs!"

After pointing out the reason, Chu Caifeng sent Lu Xing an address, then disappeared.

Zhou Duohao also disappeared immediately, not wanting to stay for another second.

Just as Lu Xing was about to use the address for a local area network teleport, he inadvertently saw someone standing at the stairwell. Turning to look closely, he found it was Wang Bagua!

"Student Jiang Xuannv!"

Wang Bagua walked out, his face still wearing a smile, and asked him, "You're not in class, what are you doing out?"

If it had been his last visit, Lu Xing would have been quite scared.

Intelligent Beings looked very much like humans, but their smiles felt very fake, like those eerily smiling people in horror movies.

"What are you doing out again?"

Lu Xing asked back calmly.

"I came out to see what you were doing. Are they also humans?" Wang Bagua answered very seriously.

In the eyes of those with high authority, human identity was not a secret. The school could accurately assign several humans to each class.

Lu Xing had been thinking about a question: Did the school know about the existence of the White Cat Society?

"Yes, they are humans."

He answered simply, "We're going to attend a human gathering."

"But isn't it class time now?"

"..."

Lu Xing probably understood the Intelligent Being's way of thinking and could only tell him, "Humans will break the rules to do certain things they like to do!"

"Just like you took a human name," he added.

"Oh!"

Wang Bagua had a thoughtful expression.

His face was unremarkable, handsome in an ordinary way—meaning all the male students had regular features and their attire wasn't distinctive. In fact, everyone in this school gave Lu Xing a similar impression, except for the two members of the White Cat Society he had met.

"How did you get out?"

Lu Xing asked him.

"I asked the teacher for leave. The teacher asked me why, and I said I was worried about you guys."

"That works?"

Lu Xing

"I'm leaving now. If the teacher asks, remember to cover for me."

Lu Xing said casually, then used the address Chu Caifeng had given him to teleport in front of a room door.

The door was open, and there were quite a few people inside. Lu Xing first observed the outside and saw that the teaching building where his class was located was in the distance. This seemed to be a classroom that was temporarily unused.

Did the White Cat Society exploit a loophole to register here?

Lu Xing speculated as he walked into the classroom.

The dozen or so people inside all looked over. Upon seeing them, Lu Xing actually felt a sense of seeing his own kind, and he understood why Jiang Xuannv had called him a fellow countryman.

At least the people in the White Cat Society looked like humans.

Each of them had subtle differences in their clothing and hairstyles compared to the other Intelligent Being students in the school. Some had different hairstyles, such as pigtails, braids, slicked-back hair, or buzz cuts, while others wore skirts, overalls, shorts, and so on.

They didn't distinguish between genders.

Yes, hairstyles and clothing were not gender-specific! Lu Xing saw a burly man with small pigtails, yet his expression was very cold. Another girl had a buzz cut, sitting on a table with her hands in her pockets and her feet on a chair, her demeanor fitting the look as she stared at Lu Xing with a roguish air.

"The newcomers are here."

Chu Caifeng smiled, but the members of the White Cat Society didn't have any welcoming ceremony, merely looking at him.

Only the president, sitting at the head of the table, which was the podium, clapped her hands: "Welcome Jiang Xuannv and Lu Xing to our White Cat Society!"

Lu Xing looked at her, a flash of amazement in his eyes.

The president of this White Cat Society... her attire was truly avant-garde!
