If they come back to the ninth floor, we can just trap them there—that way we can…” He didn’t finish, but all the new residents understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, we can’t kill the Student Union members on the ninth floor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If we clear out the ninth floor’s Student Union members, the Student Union will likely treat every student on that floor as enemies—we’ve only been in training for two days; we can’t confront evil factions so early.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My second reason for stopping you is that I need you all to scatter and search the entire training center for the statues!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian told everyone what he’d seen on his travel permit; immediately, Ma San and his wife’s faces darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the statues’ locations were hidden; if everyone searched alone, it wouldn’t just be unsafe—it might also mean failing to find enough statues. Gathering everyone together was the most efficient way, and we might even uncover other clues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s also why Wu Xian risked building a secret base in the restroom before afternoon class—afternoon had already been scheduled, and to ensure we had two “Ghost Paintings” tomorrow, Wu Xian needed to meditate in the relatively efficient classroom building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After explaining his reasons, the group discussed it and eventually agreed with Wu Xian’s plan, though they didn’t scatter too widely—they split into four small teams, which was safer than going alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were eighteen surviving new residents at this point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian assigned Ji Yaning, the female staff member from Jingqi Island, and college student Liu Siyi to wait by the dorm entrance and record everything happening in the dorm during this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining sixteen were divided into four groups; seven new residents were distributed among the four teams to guide the newcomers in searching for traces of the statues across the immigration training center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four groups were: Ma San and Kang Tiantian, Su Mi and Wen Tinghua, Hu Shutong and Xu Shen; Wu Xian led three newcomers alone. After grouping was settled…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group exchanged information on Liu Shuli’s death, discoveries made today in the training center, and perceived dangers; after confirming no information had been missed, the four groups dispersed…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four newcomers Wu Xian led.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were Wu Jige, Jiang Dong, and college student Jin Shasha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian had been in the immigration training center for two days and had only visited the classroom building, cafeteria, dormitory, and playground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this immigration training center was actually quite large.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had a sports center, medical building, faculty dormitory, and multiple student dormitory buildings—yet Wu Xian had seen no students in any of the other dormitory buildings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Statues were typically only thirty centimeters tall and could be hidden anywhere on campus; finding them wouldn’t be easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There are currently twenty-three statues in the school.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Statues are usually thirty centimeters tall; sixteen common types are…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When searching in the blessed land, stay alert at all times—especially when opening doors or chests…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if something seems harmless, don’t trust your instincts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian walked as he spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He explained precautions for searching for statues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave detailed instructions, and his advice extended beyond the upcoming search to include his own unique survival tips for the blessed land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, he had another reason for revealing the statue information to the newcomers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted more of them to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The newcomers were suffering too much!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just two days ago, these newcomers lived in a safe world; being dragged into the blessed land was already an unjust misfortune—if the statue information were deliberately concealed, they’d stand no chance of surviving here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group naturally sensed Wu Xian’s intent and looked at him with gratitude; Wu Jige, in particular, called him “Big Brother” repeatedly and grew even more respectful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian’s first search target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was a dormitory building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were eight such dormitory buildings in the training center; Wu Xian and the others lived in Building Four; this was Building Eight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian stood beside the door and quietly pushed it open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside Building Eight, it was dark and silent—no students or dorm supervisors could be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the floor was spotless, just like the classroom building, as if it had just been cleaned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian led the group into the first room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We start from the first floor, searching room by room—always enter and exit in groups of four; never split up; everyone must stay within the same space.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Searching for statues will be tedious, but don’t slack off—we might encounter unexpected horrors.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1141,"2026-06-20T14:31:07.793Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","0e1397db1691c17300fc099232f606a9e19c2fbd2c952960087b2ec7fed8d3c2","heavenly-official-bestows-evil-chapter-533","heavenly-official-bestows-evil-chapter-531",556,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheavenly-official-bestows-evil-cover.jpg"]
