Pfft!
Watching this scene unfold.
Lu Shiyan stood frozen at the podium.
A cigarette dangled from his lips. He was so shocked that he didn't even notice he'd put it in backward with his trembling hand.
The glowing tip was pressed right against his lips.
"Hiss!!"
The smell of something scorched filled the air. Lu Shiyan sucked in a sharp breath, the pain so intense it felt like a layer of skin had been burned off his lips.
But he couldn't spare a thought for the pain.
Because he'd seen what had splattered out.
It wasn't the bright red blood of a human. It was foul-smelling Corpse Fluid!
The most distinctive feature of a Wandering Corpse!
"Damn it! They're not human!"
Lu Shiyan's eyes narrowed. He understood in an instant why the man who'd been "sleeping" had suddenly opened fire.
That guy...
Had seen through everything from the start!
Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Shiyan calmly reached into his coat pocket.
"Go to hell!!"
His wrist flicked, and a scalpel shot toward the back of the classroom!
Its target wasn't Jiang Nan.
It was "Guo Shuai," who was following close behind the headless female corpse, arms spread wide and ready to pounce on Jiang Nan!
Pfft!
The scalpel struck with pinpoint accuracy, piercing "Guo Shuai" right between the brows!
Yet...
Something bizarre happened.
"Guo Shuai" didn't fall. He didn't even pause.
Crack!
His head suddenly split down the middle, like a blooming man-eating flower.
His human features vanished, replaced by layer upon layer of—
Sharp teeth writhing frantically!
"Bzzzz!"
A nauseating buzz, like a fly beating its wings, came from the split-open cavity.
Ignoring the scalpel lodged in its head, it opened its gaping maw and lunged to bite Jiang Nan, who was still sitting there with his eyes closed!
"Looking to die."
Yekaterina, seated in front of Jiang Nan, sprang into action.
In that instant, her eyes became golden slits.
Pivoting on her left leg, she swung her right like a steel whip and slammed it into the monster "Guo Shuai's" chest!
Thud!
The monster's chest caved in. It lost its balance and toppled backward.
But she wasn't finished.
Yekaterina reached out with her right hand, seized the edge of its split-open maw, and used the leverage to slam it hard against the floor!
At the same time—
Whoosh!
The scalpel that had just pierced the monster's skull came back around for another strike!
"Pretty tough to cut, huh? How about this?"
Lu Shiyan's fingers twitched.
A streak of silver light spun and leaped wildly inside the monster's split-open head!
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
In an instant, its head was sliced into countless chunks of flesh!
The headless corpse twitched twice, then lay still.
"Phew..."
Just as everyone thought it was over—
Yekaterina's slit pupils suddenly contracted.
In the heap of minced flesh, near the stump of the neck, she saw something writhing violently!
"It's not dead!"
Yekaterina barked, and her pale hands were instantly covered in red Dragon Scale Armor.
Her fingertips transformed into razor-sharp dragon claws, reaching to seize the thing!
But—
She was a step too slow.
Squeak!
The thing hidden in the neck didn't burrow into the body. Like a spring, it shot out with a sudden snap!
It was a grayish-white, soft-bodied worm, no bigger than a thumb, its body covered in tiny, densely packed fangs!
It streaked through the air and landed on the leg of the nearest female student from Cherry Blossom Country.
Chomp!
In a mere second, the worm bit through her skin and muscle and burrowed into a blood vessel!
"Aaaah!!"
The student stared at the huge lump rising on her leg and was scared out of her wits.
"What is that?! Help me!! I don't want to die!!"
But it was no use.
The lump raced beneath her skin!
Up her thigh, into her abdomen, through her chest...
Straight for her brain!
It reached its destination in just three seconds, at an unbelievable speed!
Everyone stared in horror, their scalps prickling.
Liu Yuqing, seated in the front row, caught sight of it just in time. A flash of blue light glinted across her lenses.
[Identification successful!]
[Name]: Parasitic Turbellarian
[Rank]: D-class
[Species]: Weird Monster
[Information]: Possesses extremely powerful parasitic possession and self-reproduction abilities.
Once Fusion is complete, it will give birth to offspring incapable of possessing others.
When the number of offspring reaches a certain threshold, they can modify their host's body on their own to achieve effective disguise.
"Hiss..."
The moment Liu Yuqing saw the information, a chill ran down her back.
She'd genuinely thought that was Guo Shuai!
She'd even been about to ask where Wang Meng had gone.
If the boss hadn't stepped in and taken one out, forcing the other to reveal itself, she'd probably be the one dead right now!
"Boss... you're a god."
While Liu Yuqing was still reeling, the worm had reached the student's neck. It was about to burrow into her brain.
The student's body began convulsing violently. Her eyes rolled back, and foam spilled from the corners of her mouth.
Whoosh!
A red blur flashed past.
Yekaterina was already in front of the student.
Without a moment's hesitation, she swung her dragon claws down, the swipe trailing a shrill gust of wind. The student stared at her in terror.
Pfft!
Clean and swift.
Half the student's head was split open like a surgical procedure.
Inside the red-and-white brain matter, the Parasitic Turbellarian was still gnawing at her brain, unable to react in time.
Yekaterina's Dragon Scale Armor-covered hand grabbed it and crushed it instantly!
Squish!
It burst in a spray of gore.
"Disgusting creature."
Yekaterina shook the filth from her hand, and the dragon scales rapidly faded away.
The remaining students from Cherry Blossom Country huddled together. They'd even forgotten to scream; all that could be heard was their teeth chattering.
By now, Lu Shiyan had walked over too.
First, he took a long look at the man who was still sitting in the back row in his "sleeping" pose.
The Memo Paper covered his face, rising and falling with each breath, as though none of what had just happened had anything to do with him.
This guy...
A tempest churned in Lu Shiyan's heart.
"Had he seen through the disguise the moment the two of them came in? No... even before they came in?"
"His instincts are terrifyingly sharp... or does he have some kind of reconnaissance Supernatural Ability?"
Lu Shiyan forced down his wariness.
"But... as long as he doesn't get in the way of me finding 'her,' that's fine."
"As for everything else, he can do as he likes."
With that, Lu Shiyan turned to Yekaterina, a note of concern in his eyes.
"Are you all right?"
"Forcing yourself to activate the second stage of your ability will take a serious toll on your body."
"I-I'm fine."
Yekaterina braced herself against a desk, her face pale and her chest rising and falling sharply.
The Dragon Person traits had faded from her body, but the weakness left by her surging bloodline made it hard to stay on her feet.
In the instant their attention drifted—
Liu Yuqing, seated in the front row, adjusted her glasses again.
Now!
[Identification!]
Two streams of data unfolded before her eyes.
[Name]: Lu Shiyan
[Species]: Human
[Overall Physical Data]: E- rank
[Status]: Healthy, calm

Super Telekinesis (S-rank): Possesses unparalleled telekinetic power and can manipulate any object whose total mass does not exceed ten times his own strength.
[Name]: Yekaterina
[Species]: Human, hybrid
[Overall Physical Data]: C-class (currently declining due to backlash...)
[Status]: Weak
