Ch. 79: Reality

Si Yin Yuan looked straight ahead, "Are you sure everyone died back then?"

Joker shrugged, "Of course."

Without explicitly mentioning the Institute's findings, as it would be too horrifying, Si Yin Yuan changed his approach, "The Institute detected significant traces of human life activity there, a large amount."

Joker idly played with playing cards in his hands, "No wonder you're in such a hurry. For the sake of the little lamb, I can go with you. This place had a road constructed a month before the outbreak. According to the map you have, you'd need to take a longer route to reach that high school."

Si Yin Yuan frowned, his eyes carrying a faint sense of oppression, "Don't call him that way."

Joker hissed but continued in his casual tone, "Captain Yin is quite fierce."

Yet, he dared not truly challenge the bottom line and did not continue to call Ji Jiu a little lamb.

They were released from the circus, and the eerie maze outside had disappeared, revealing a bare ground and a dismal scene of ruins. The entire landscape had been crushed by the colossal monster.

Although Joker was unconventional, he was one of the few S-rank hunters, even ranking high among them.

Ji Jiu sighed in relief, his hand no longer tightly gripping his owner.

Si Yin Yuan lowered his head, glancing at the released hem of his clothing. Unlike the usual inexplicable sense of loss, this time he raised his hand and actively held Ji Jiu's hand.

Feeling the young man's curious gaze, Si Yin Yuan's expression remained unchanged, "This way, we won't get separated."

The naive Ji Jiu didn't doubt his owner's intentions at all.

Joker remained silent for a while but still didn't point out that they wouldn't get separated when in the car.

Yu Feichen, driving, gloated at him. Clearly, he was also fed some dog food, but seeing Joker joining in made him feel refreshed.

Joker, with an itchy feeling, considered enlisting him into his circus.

With Joker, a local guiding them, they compressed the remaining journey to only half a day, arriving at Sheng Sheng High School's location before evening.

They parked their car at the entrance of the high school. The massive banyan tree inside had turned gray, and most of the hanging bodies had rotted and fallen on the ground, leaving only some bone fragments.

The roots of the enormous tree entwined visible parts of the teaching and accommodation buildings, filling the entire campus with a gray color. The three characters "Moral Education Building" were vaguely visible beneath the gray roots directly facing them.

Even just standing outside, one could imagine the hellish scene when the banyan tree distorted. Students who used to play under the banyan tree, unable to escape, were brutally killed. This gentle tree, which had witnessed many students graduate and grow, had turned into this grotesque appearance.

Joker stood outside his alma mater, silently watching inside. At this moment, he seemed to have detached himself from the role of a clown and became a normal person who could feel sadness.

This illusion lasted less than two minutes. Suddenly, he let out a sharp, thin laugh, "Look, there's no way there are still humans alive here."

The face paint squeezed into a lump.

This scene was expected, and Si Yin Yuan showed no surprise.

Or perhaps, the truly bizarre thing would be if they saw the scene that Hu Yan, with solemn vow, described in the video.
