There was... not a single person in the Lecture Hall!

Lin Yi still remembered that on May 8, there had been ninety people in the classroom. Since he had not seen any Athlete Students at night, he had counted them during the day. There had been eighteen Athlete Students then, while after dinner, there had been thirty-four Experience Students, including him and Wei Liang, and thirty-eight Impersonator classmates.

Li Huiyuan was no longer included in that count.

During the evening roll call, Head Teacher 040 had called out the names of eight people with high inspiration, who had gone to the Dormitory Building.

Those eight included him, Wei Liang, Mountain Man, and... Song Rentou. He could not remember the other four clearly. He vaguely remembered that one was called Liu Jingning, but could not put a face to the name.

Because after Head Teacher 040 finished calling their names, not everyone had stepped forward. Several had returned to the dormitory along with the Experience Students.

That day, besides the eight people whose names had been called, four others had also returned to the dormitory with them.

In other words, there were eight names for twelve people. There was no way to match them up.

Twelve of the thirty-four Experience Students had left, leaving twenty-two in the classroom...

But now, not a single one was there!

Could they have been wiped out? This somewhat frightening thought surfaced in Lin Yi's mind.

Under the influence of "It-I," the Impersonators' range of movement was limited, but that did not mean the Experience Students were absolutely safe. After witnessing the horror of the Grinning Angel and the revolting crowd of Night-Walking Species, Lin Yi would not have found it strange even if all the Experience Students in the classroom had been wiped out.
