Girls' Dormitory

"You! Which class are you from?! Where's the original flag bearer?!" As soon as the flag-raising ceremony ended, the teacher in charge ran up to Lin Qiye with a fierce look and questioned him.

Lin Qiye didn't have time to deal with him at the moment and simply sidestepped him, walking away.

The teacher in charge's eyes widened. In all his years of teaching, he had never encountered such an outrageous student!

"You stop right there! I'm talking to you, and what kind of attitude is this!! Believe it or not, I'll drag you to the principal's office right now and give you a school-wide demerit!!"

He grabbed Lin Qiye's shoulder and roared!

Ahead, Lin Qiye stopped.

He slowly turned his head.

Within his eyes, two golden flames instantly ignited!

In that instant, an unprecedented pressure enveloped the teacher in charge's heart!

Under the gaze of those eyes, he felt as if he were looking at the entire universe. In the vast, boundless darkness and the unknown, he was as insignificant as a grain of sand.

Pressure!

This was pressure that transcended life itself!

In just a moment, the teacher in charge's back was drenched in cold sweat, and he felt as if he were about to collapse.

The flames in Lin Qiye's eyes flashed and disappeared. His dark eyes seemed as if nothing had ever appeared in them.

"What happened just now was my fault. You can report me to the entire school for criticism, or even file a complaint with the agency," Lin Qiye said calmly, looking at the teacher in charge who was gasping for breath.

"But you'll have to wait until I finish my work."

After speaking, Lin Qiye turned around and, under the horrified gaze of the teacher in charge, sprinted away.

"Captain."

"Qiye, report your status."

"I've checked all the teachers and students in the school... The situation is very bad. I think it will be as difficult as reaching heaven to resolve this matter quietly."

"Elaborate."

"Among the three grades, the infected in the first and third grades are relatively few, totaling only ten people. The second grade is the most serious, with thirty-six infected students. One class even has half of its students infected!

And these are just students. Among the teachers and leaders, there are nearly twenty infected individuals!

Therefore, I can infer that at least sixty teachers and students in the entire Second High School have been transformed into monsters!"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the earpiece.

"Captain, over sixty infected! Even if each infected person is only at the 'Zhan' realm, there are over sixty 'Zhan' realm monsters in this high school!

If we discover the true form of this Mythical Creature, these sixty-plus 'Zhan' realm infected will inevitably enter a berserk state and attack surrounding teachers and students indiscriminately!

Moreover, their numbers are too great. If even one slips through the net and escapes the school, it will be a disaster that engulfs the entire Cangnan City!"

Lin Qiye calmly stated his deductions.

"Qiye, it's not 'if' even one slips through the net and escapes the school..." A sound of chopping came from the other end of the earpiece, and Chen Muye slowly spoke, "They are already infiltrating outwards."

At this moment, several kilometers away from the Second High School, in a rented room.

Chen Muye stepped over shattered flesh and blood, his saber in hand. Beside him was Wu Xiangnan, his face grave.

"We investigated Liu Xiaoyan, Han Ruoruo, whom you mentioned, and the Dean of Students' homes. We discovered that their family members were also infected, and we just finished clearing them out.

The situation is more severe than we imagined."

"Then..."

"We need to go to the homes of the infected one by one to quickly cut off the spread of the infection. Therefore, we cannot provide support for you at the moment. However, such a tricky Mythical Creature likely doesn't have high combat power itself. I believe the three of you should be able to clear it out."

"But if we do this, the school will inevitably fall into chaos, and our existence and that of the Mythical Creature might be exposed."

"You don't need to worry about that. We have a Forbidden Item called [Dream Whisper], which can create dreams within a certain range and erase some of people's memories.

Also, I will have Leng Xuan temporarily act as the Watcher and set up the [Boundless Void Domain] around the Second High School, prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving. For the time being... the Second High School will become an isolated island, cut off from the world."

Chen Muye walked to the window, gazing in the direction where Lin Qiye and the other two were, and said calmly.

Our enemy this time is very tricky. Don't hold back, don't hide. You must find its true form in the shortest possible time... and kill it! At the same time, protect the safety of the teachers and students. We cannot afford any more sacrifices.

This time... you can go all out!"

On the other end of the earpiece, Lin Qiye was silent for a moment, then nodded heavily.

"I understand."

Lin Qiye cut off the earpiece. Wu Xiangnan, standing beside Chen Muye, frowned and said, "This is his first mission, and it's such a big event. Isn't it too difficult for him?"

"Xiangnan, this child is different from you and me," Chen Muye said with a slight shake of his head. "He has potential, character, and resilience. All we need to do is to give him a clear path and a broad stage.

He will soar on his own."

Second Middle School, girls' dormitory.

Hong Ying furtively poked her head out from the window, glanced inside, and waved to the person behind her.

"Hurry, the dorm supervisor isn't here!"

Si Xiaonan quickly ran in from outside, lightly leaped over the gate, and darted behind the duty room.

Hong Ying did the same. After avoiding the duty room, they headed straight for the stairs, taking three steps at a time, moving as fast as flying!

In an instant, they reached the fifth floor.

The flag-raising ceremony had just ended, and students were returning to their classrooms to prepare for lessons. The dormitory building was empty. All the doors on either side were locked, making the narrow hallways dark. The only light in the entire corridor came from a single ray of sunlight cast from the terrace at the very front.

Hong Ying cautiously pressed herself against the wall, using the dim light to survey the floor.

"Which room did Lin Qiye say those girls' dorms were in?" Hong Ying asked softly, turning her head.

"The second to last room on the north side," Si Xiaonan replied.

Hong Ying looked towards the north-side dorms and silently began to walk there. Si Xiaonan tightly clutched her clothes, a hint of fear appearing in her eyes.

"Sister Hong Ying, slow down."

"Got it, got it. You're not afraid of anything when fighting monsters, yet you're scared of the dark," Hong Ying replied helplessly.

As they gradually approached the dormitory door, Hong Ying again used a thin needle to pick the lock. The dormitory door slowly opened...

Just as Hong Ying had expected, there was no one in the dorm.

The two entered the dormitory and quickly began searching.

"Tsk, this school's dorms are pretty good... the balcony is quite large," Hong Ying said, opening the door and stepping onto the balcony with a sigh.

Suddenly, she seemed to see something, and her pupils contracted sharply.

On the clothes rack in the dorm, besides a pile of delicate pink clothes and underwear...

There were also four thin human skins, swaying in the wind.
