Chapter 221

The two walked side by side toward the classroom, seeing many senior students running for their lives along the way.

Su Yang, however, hung back slowly, appreciating the surrounding scenery.

Ruan Ziliang tried to speed up several times, but because he had to walk with Su Yang, he had to slow down.

"Let's walk faster; the class bell is about to ring."

"Don't worry, I'm very experienced with arriving right on time," Su Yang said, draping an arm over his shoulder.

Ruan Ziliang opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

When the two reached the entrance of the girls' dormitory, they saw a slender, graceful figure.

"Classmate Xin Yao!" Su Yang waved his hand.

Qin Weiyang turned her head to look and walked over with small steps.

"Good afternoon, how did you sleep?" Su Yang asked.

"It was too hot, I couldn't sleep," Qin Weiyang said indifferently.

"Yeah, this damn weather doesn't even have air conditioning, and the fan won't even turn," Su Yang complained.

Ruan Ziliang stood beside this handsome man and beautiful woman, feeling the gazes cast from around them, and felt very uncomfortable.

It was as if he had a giant lightbulb over his head.

"Did you two know each other before?" Ruan Ziliang couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"We are childhood sweethearts; our marriage was arranged as soon as we were born," Su Yang said.

"Huh?" Ruan Ziliang looked surprised, his eyes filled with envy.

"If you talk nonsense again, I'll throw you into the pond," Qin Weiyang said coldly.

Su Yang glanced at the water surface covered with lotus flowers and said with interest, "That would be very refreshing."

Qin Weiyang gave him a sharp look and simply stopped talking.

"By the way, since Xin Yao is here, tell her about the ghost story; she's been interested in that stuff since she was a kid," Su Yang said.

"Ghost story?" Qin Weiyang asked suspiciously.

"It's about the 'Butcher'," Ruan Ziliang added.

Seeing the confusion in Qin Weiyang's eyes deepen, he briefly explained the matter.

"That's impossible." Qin Weiyang's first reaction was also disbelief.

"Don't be in a hurry, listen to him finish first," Su Yang said.

"No matter what, supernatural objects cannot exist." Qin Weiyang was a firm materialist.

Ruan Ziliang organized his thoughts and said, "After ten o'clock at night, the school enters the 'Dark Night', and the school authorities do not allow any students to leave the dormitory."

"In other schools, senior evening self-study lasts until ten, but Luoshui Middle School lets out at nine-thirty, and students are ordered to return to the dormitory within half an hour."

"Many students didn't believe in ghosts before, but they all disappeared, and the school authorities didn't provide any response or investigation results."

"And in the end?" Su Yang asked.

"In the end..." Ruan Ziliang lowered his head, his brows locked tight, "Some students found a few eyeballs in the corner of the lecture hall."

The lecture hall?!

Su Yang and Qin Weiyang looked at each other, both seeing shock and suspicion in the other's eyes.

"How do you know it wasn't man-made?" Su Yang asked curiously.

"There were pentagram patterns where they died, and some students saw the Butcher kill them with their own eyes," Ruan Ziliang whispered.

"With their own eyes..." Su Yang narrowed his eyes.

A moment later, the three arrived at the classroom; as soon as they entered, they saw stacks of books placed on the podium.

Liu Bo was standing on the podium, instructing several students to distribute the books.

Su Yang returned to his seat, took the pen out of his pocket and placed it on the table, then tilted his head and asked, "What do you think?"

"Hearsay; it sounds like something the students deliberately fabricated," Qin Weiyang responded.

"So you don't believe it?"

"Do you believe it?"

Su Yang smiled and did not answer.

"You're falling for this trick meant for kids?" Qin Weiyang was somewhat surprised.

"Whether it's true or false, we'll know once we investigate; there's a big meeting this afternoon, let's find a chance to slip away," Su Yang said.

"Hmm..." Qin Weiyang nodded slightly; it was exactly what she wanted.

Time was precious; if they didn't act now, they would miss the opportunity.

The rules said bringing out the treasure counted as winning, but it didn't say that one treasure hunter bringing it out meant all treasure hunters won.

There was a competitive relationship here as well.

Furthermore, if the Guardians discovered it first and hid it, they would be extremely passive.

All the textbooks were distributed; Su Yang flipped through them casually and found that he had already learned the knowledge inside.

Next was free reading time; according to Liu Bo, it was for students to preview the material.

Originally, there would be a fixed military training session at the start of the first year of high school.

But it seemed that because of the Death Game, this tradition had been canceled.

Thus, on the first day, the students had nothing to do but read books to pass the time.

"Please, first-year high school students, gather on the playground in an orderly fashion."

Suddenly, the broadcast sounded.

Everyone walked toward the playground in a scattered manner.

Once the class gathered, as usual, the principal first "said a few simple words."

Su Yang saw that the principal's speech was passionate, and the audience beside him was listening intently.

Seeing that the time was ripe, he gave Qin Weiyang a wink.

"Teacher, I want to go to the bathroom!" Qin Weiyang said.

"Go," Liu Bo waved his hand.

Qin Weiyang turned and left without the slightest hesitation.

Su Yang:...

Originally, his plan was to slip away quietly.

Now, Qin Weiyang had directly used going to the bathroom as a cover.

She had used up the opportunity to go to the bathroom.

What should Su Yang use?

Could it be that he would also use the excuse of going to the bathroom?

If the two of them went to the bathroom together, it would be strange if Liu Bo didn't get suspicious.

"Pig teammate..." Su Yang was very helpless.

Since the action had already started, he could only look for another way.

He immediately cast his gaze toward Ruan Ziliang in front of him.

At this moment, he was standing under the scorching sun, listening intently to the principal's "golden words," his back straight.

A sharp light flashed in Su Yang's eyes, and he raised his hand to strike the back of his neck.

"Smack!"

"Ouch!" Ruan Ziliang cried out in pain and turned his head subconsciously.

Immediately after, a dark shadow suddenly collided with him.

"Bang!"

Ruan Ziliang's eyes went black, and he fell backward.

"Report, Teacher, Classmate Ziliang seems to have heatstroke!" Su Yang helped him up with quick hands.

Liu Bo walked over quickly, looked at the fainted Ruan Ziliang, his expression changed, and he immediately carried him on his back.

"Gao Chang, you maintain the class order."

After saying that, he carried Ruan Ziliang and ran toward the infirmary.

Su Yang looked at his back and followed quickly, pretending to be a helpful classmate.

After running a hundred meters and turning into the small woods, he bumped into Qin Weiyang, who was waiting there in advance.

"Why are you so slow?" Qin Weiyang said with dissatisfaction.

"You have the nerve to say that; who taught you to shout like that?" Su Yang said irritably.

"Otherwise what?"

"Forget it, let's go," Su Yang waved his hand.

The two arrived at the east side of the lecture hall, carefully observed the surroundings, and after finding no one, looked up at the second-floor window.

Sure enough, one of the windows was already open, slightly revealing a crack.

Qin Weiyang squatted down slightly, "Come up."

Su Yang didn't act coy and jumped up to hug her.

"Where are you touching?"

"Sorry, I didn't feel it."

Qin Weiyang rolled her eyes and leaped.

Her whole body landed beside the window like a light feather, and she slowly opened it.

The two jumped in; as soon as they landed, their brows furrowed in unison.

"Did you smell it?" Su Yang whispered.

"Hmm..." Qin Weiyang nodded with a solemn expression.

"The smell of blood is even stronger!"
