Class Begins

Sexual pleasure??

Are you serious??

After reading the introduction to the patrolling gods, Xiao Ran almost bit his tongue. He had originally thought it would be an evil god like last time, and with his sewing skills, why wouldn't he dismember himself first?

And now you're telling me this time it's the God of Pleasure?? You can increase combat power just by doing naughty things??

Xiao Ran was engrossed in reading when he heard the sound of a car engine from behind.

"Huh, could it be that big brother is back?"

When Xiao Ran turned his head, it was indeed a bus, but the license plate wasn't 404, but number 0000.

"It seems there's more than one of these buses, so..."

Xiao Ran's heart stirred. Could he meet other newcomers in Miyuan City this time?

"Pfft..."

The bus stopped by the bus stop, and soon Xiao Ran saw a teenager in a short-sleeved shirt get off the bus. The teenager looked even younger than Xiao Ran, wore round glasses, and had a scholarly appearance.

He clearly looked like a student.

The other party got off the bus and looked towards Xiao Ran, seeming a little surprised that someone had arrived before him.

After hesitating for two seconds, he still walked towards Xiao Ran: "Pickle, Pickle, I'm Jiu Hua!"

"Black Cat, Black Cat, I'm White Cat."

Xiao Ran replied calmly.

This was how newcomers greeted each other. He didn't know when it became popular, but Xiao Ran had learned about it from Xue Hongling's memories.

So how did this teenager know about it?

He couldn't know for sure, but one thing was certain: the other party was probably not a novice like himself, but at least on the same level as Xue Hongling.

The teenager then took out his student ID and carefully read the contents. The smile on his face grew brighter.

"It's the God of Pleasure this time, this is truly... wonderful."

After speaking, he turned to Xiao Ran: "Big Brother White Cat, I'm from class 2015, how about you?"

"2017!"

"I see." The teenager nodded thoughtfully, a hint of regret in his voice: "It's a new class, it seems Big Brother White Cat hasn't been here before."

Xiao Ran's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. Judging by the teenager's words, it seemed he wasn't visiting for the first time.

Moreover, his class seemed to be higher than Xiao Ran's.

"A piece of advice for you, Big Brother. If you have money, it's best to get a single dormitory."

Saying that, the teenager walked towards the school gate without looking back, chuckling slyly as he walked: "Little sisters, here I come."

Looking at the teenager's retreating back, Xiao Ran couldn't help but laugh at himself. It seemed he had underestimated this Miyuan City. This campus was probably not a one-time event like Niujia Slope last time.

If that was the case, it was possible that someone had already operated here many times.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran stopped standing there in a daze. Thinking a thousand times was not as good as opening his eyes and seeing.

He walked through the school gate, and an old man stood at the guardhouse.

The old man held a police baton, resting it on his hip, with one arm crossed. His eyes were slightly closed. Only when he sensed someone approaching did he open a slit, glance at the student ID hanging on Xiao Ran's chest, and then closed his eyes again.

Xiao Ran glanced at the police baton in the old man's hand. The baton exuded a chilling aura. Upon closer inspection, it seemed like a faint black mist occasionally drifted from it. It was clearly a Cursed Object, similar to the driver's white gloves.

The school's teaching building was large and new, with a total of six floors.

Since the teenager just said it was a new class, his classroom should be on the first floor.

"Ring ring ring..."

As soon as Xiao Ran reached the door of a first-floor classroom, he heard a bell ringing from afar. Immediately after, Xiao Ran turned his head and saw students continuously running from the direction of the dormitory buildings.

They were all rushing, afraid of being a step behind.

"Are the children here so eager to learn?"

Just as Xiao Ran was stunned by the surging crowd, he saw several students near the back, realizing they couldn't outrun their classmates, take slingshots or small knives from their pockets and shoot at those around them.

Some even picked up bricks and started smashing anyone blocking their path.

Good heavens, a passionate campus, right??

Xiao Ran's mouth twitched. He looked up and saw the classroom sign for 2017 not far away. He didn't care anymore and walked straight into the classroom. He scanned left and right, then headed straight for a seat by the door in the back row.

As soon as he sat down, Xiao Ran saw that the desk in front of him was stained with dried blood.

At this moment, Xiao Ran noticed two signs hanging on the classroom wall. The left one listed the classroom rules, and the right one listed the school rules.

[Classroom Rules]

Rule 1: Students called upon by the teacher will become the demonstration material for this lesson.

Rule 2: Do not get caught cheating by the teacher, or you will become the special material for this semester.

Rule 3: Be careful of your deskmate.

Weird Tales: If the teacher who comes to class is wearing a white dress, you'd better shut your mouth! Otherwise, you'll kill everyone in the class.

[Campus Rules]

Rule 1: After completing each class, you will receive a campus badge.

Rule 2: You can only complete a maximum of three classes per day and must return to the dormitory as soon as possible.

Rule 3: When night falls, please prepare yourselves, students. We hope to still have class as usual tomorrow morning.

Weird Tales: When you go to the restroom, you must sing. Please remember, there are only three restrooms here.

Looking at the rules and weird tales above, Xiao Ran couldn't figure out what this school actually taught.

He checked the cloak he was wearing, the Mourning Ring on his finger, and wiped the Black Swan Brooch hidden beneath the cloak.

After ensuring there were no problems, the unease in his heart subsided slightly.

In just this short while, students were already rushing into the classroom, scrambling for inconspicuous seats the moment they entered.

Unsurprisingly, Xiao Ran chose a seat towards the back. It was clearly a popular spot. Two youths, as soon as they entered, made a beeline for Xiao Ran. Seeing him sitting in a chair, they didn't say a word and drew the daggers from their waists, lunging towards Xiao Ran.

But with their skills, let alone the current Xiao Ran, even the Xiao Ran before Miyuan City wouldn't have bothered with them. Before the daggers could reach him, Xiao Ran kicked the table.

"CRASH!!"

The table flew like a cannonball, hitting the two youths. The force sent them crashing to the ground. Before they could get up, Xiao Ran had already rushed over, snatched the dagger from one youth's hand, and simultaneously kicked the leader in the cheek.

Seeing this, the other youth grabbed a stool and swung it at Xiao Ran. However, Xiao Ran easily dodged it with a sidestep. He grabbed the youth by the neck with one hand and pinned him against the wall.

"Thwack, thwack, thwack, thwack..."

He repeatedly stabbed the youth in the waist with the dagger, seven or eight times, cutting a large gash right into his kidney.

"Gurgle..."

Instantly, intestines and all sorts of messy things spilled out from the wound.

Xiao Ran stared intently into the cut, his eyes lighting up: "That's right, just as I expected, it's all corpses!"

In front of the school gate, he had already considered it. Since his student ID stated he committed suicide by jumping off a building, what about the other students in the school? Excluding the newcomers, he doubted any of them were alive.

He had initially worried they might be evil spirits, but now it seemed the situation was even better than he had anticipated.

A smile crept onto Xiao Ran's lips. As a Second-rate craftsman, Xiao Ran had always held a deep reverence for life since childhood, whether it was for people or stray cats and dogs. He never refused to help.

But when it came to corpses, his attitude was different.

Just like a doctor in a hospital, asking you to take off your pants for an examination might make you feel embarrassed.

But in the doctor's eyes, from the moment you walked in, you were no longer a person, but just a pile of diseased rotten flesh.

These people who looked like students, though not very fresh, were indeed flesh-and-blood corpses.

Dealing with them, Xiao Ran had no psychological burden whatsoever.

"Activate, Black Swan!"

With a thought from Xiao Ran, the Curse Mark [Corpse Stitcher] and the [Black Swan Brooch] merged. The eyes on the black swan brooch emitted an eerie red glow.

"Student, how could you be so careless? What if such a big wound gets infected? Let me stitch it up for you."

Xiao Ran said with feigned concern, but his actions were far from gentle. He grabbed the youth's head and slammed it hard onto the desk. Casually taking out a silver needle, he quickly stitched up the youth's waist.

A few students who had intended to follow and fight for seats saw Xiao Ran's swift and decisive movements and immediately lost their nerve. Exchanging glances, they turned to grab other seats.

In about two to three minutes, all the seats in the classroom were filled with students.

However, a strong smell of blood permeated the air.

Xiao Ran also slowly sat down. His deskmate was the very youth whose kidney he had removed and then stitched up.

At this moment, the youth's eyes were vacant, no longer possessing the fierce expression from before.

On his waist, besides the barely discernible wound, there was also a curse mark.

This was the privilege of the [Black Swan Brooch · Corpse Stitcher], "Enthral."

A stitched corpse would become his servant.

Perhaps it was because he had obtained the Empty Handed Master's abilities, but his stitching technique seemed to have improved again. Not only was it more skillful than before, but the rating after stitching even reached A-grade.

This way, the youth would remain his servant for a full six hours.

"Ring ring ring..."

At this moment, the class bell rang from outside.

The chaotic noise from outside gradually quieted down.

Soon, the sound of "da da da" footsteps could be heard in the corridor. As the classroom door was pushed open, a woman in a pink floral dress entered.

"Everyone stand up, hello teacher!"

"Hello students, I am Teacher Tang, responsible for Chinese language."

The woman bowed slightly, gesturing for everyone to sit. Bai Zhou gently pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose, flipped through a few pages of the textbook, and then looked up, a faint dimple appearing on her face.

"Students, today we will be studying Tang poetry, 'Quiet Night Thought'."

Xiao Ran, sitting in the back row, let out a silent sigh of relief at the words. He hadn't expected the class to be simpler than he'd thought.

"Everyone, follow along with me, keep up with the rhythm and the movements." Teacher Tang's voice was quite sweet. As she spoke, the classroom seemed to gain a bit of a teaching atmosphere.

"Moonlight before my bed, I thought it was frost on the ground."

Everyone repeated after her: "Moonlight before my bed, I thought it was frost on the ground."

This poem was likely one learned in elementary school. For Xiao Ran, it was incredibly simple.

However, the next second, Teacher Tang suddenly reached up and grabbed her own hair, pulling hard.

With a "snap!"

Her delicate head tore away from her slender neck, held aloft in her hand. Her face still spoke in a gentle tone as she continued reciting:

"Raising my head, I gaze at the bright moon..."

Xiao Ran, sitting in the back, widened his eyes. "Huh???"
