They are not human! (From chapter 61)

125

Wen Qing lowered his gaze, reflecting on everything that had happened since entering the dungeon. There were no paranormal events or non-human creatures like mermaids. Dezhi High School was just an ordinary high school, with the only anomaly being the attitudes of Class 1 students toward transfer students. Jiang Yan looked at the burning cigarette butt and said, "Considering we can't use tools, this dungeon is unlikely to have supernatural creatures."

"We only need to deal with the students of Class 1."

Wen Qing suddenly understood. The difficulty of a supernatural creature dungeon wasn't that high. A month was a long time for players, and Class 1 students didn't intend to kill anyone; they were just toying with the players. No wonder the main task was to survive in Class 1 for a month. Jiang Yan exhaled a smoke ring and said, "One more thing."

"So far, it seems all the Class 1 students follow Fu Ranxiu's orders."

"Except for the transfer students."

Wen Qing was startled; he had overlooked this point. Jiang Yan continued smoking and analyzing, "The fact that we're in this dungeon means that from the school's perspective, we are Class 1 students."

"But from the perspective of Class 1, we are not," Wen Qing followed Jiang Yan's logic, blinking as he recalled something. "Other students say Class 1 is very united."

"It might not show usually, but it was clear when Zhang Yang threatened Wang Feng in the gym."

Jiang Yan half-closed his eyes and said lightly, "It's been three years. In a place like a school, and nothing about Class 1 has leaked out. That's suspicious."

People love gossip and will inevitably mention it, leaking secrets.

The people in Class 1 clearly weren't unwilling to talk; they were unable to talk.

Wen Qing's eyelid twitched, and he softly asked, "Will they die if they don't follow the rules or listen to Fu Ranxiu?"

Jiang Yan took the last drag of his cigarette, stubbed it out, and said, "Most likely."

"Fu Ranxiu must have done something three years ago, involving everyone in Class 1."

Three years ago...

Wen Qing inevitably thought of Ji Sheng's text message. Three years ago, Ji Sheng had asked Song Xuan to introduce Fu Ranxiu. And the style of this dungeon seemed very much like Ji Yu's.

Very malicious.

Class 1's honor students participating in campus bullying, while former bad students appear to be punishing evil, but are still involved in the class's internal violence. Other students in the school know nothing about this and don't believe the transfer students, praising Class 1 instead.

And this is a supernatural creature dungeon...

Wen Qing sat on a stone block, hesitated for a while, and called out in his mind, [System.]

001 didn't respond.

Wen Qing was stunned; 001 usually responded immediately. What was going on today? He called again, [System.]

This time, 001 responded with a hum, [Hm, I'm here.]

Wen Qing was puzzled, [Didn't you hear me calling you just now?]

001 replied indifferently, [I was busy with something.]

Wen Qing was shocked; could the system also have things to do? He had thought the system was solely dedicated to assisting players and had nothing else to do.

001 said, [I have many things to manage, especially lately.]

Wen Qing didn't pay much attention to the first part of 001's sentence, focusing instead on the latter. [Lately?]
