Chapter 130: Busatan, Kill It

Su Jin tried to sneak out, but before she could even reach the courtyard near the outer perimeter, she was caught by a male instructor who grabbed her like a baby chick.

"Tell me, which instructor's class are you from? If you don't tell me, I'll wait until I find your instructor and have her tell your parents to give you a mixed doubles beating."

Su Jin looked at the man with a pitiful expression.

That male instructor did not feel the slightest bit of sympathy for her.

Su Jin had no choice but to call her own instructor, Instructor Liu, over.

Instructor Liu gave a sour look at Su Jin, who was squatting on the ground, pitifully curled up into a little ball.

Then she politely thanked the man for helping catch the misbehaving little schoolchild.

"The courtyards on the outer perimeter haven't been completely cleared out yet. What are you, a tiny thing like you, running outside for? If it weren't for your instructor coming to fetch you, I was planning to make you squat in a corner for a whole morning." The male instructor said.

The moment Su Jin heard that, her little face immediately fell.

She was going to suffer.

"Alright, stop putting on that pitiful act over there. Hurry up and go with your instructor. Don't come running over here for the next few days."

The male instructor waved them off.

It wasn't anything major anyway.

After leaving his place, Instructor Liu asked irritably, "Our side was just attacked last night. What were you thinking, running outside first thing in the morning?"

Su Jin's face immediately scrunched up as she said, "Instructor Liu, I heard that last night the third-year students responsible for guarding the outer perimeter courtyards lost five schoolchildren, and around seventy were injured. My eldest niece Su Hua is in the third-year class of the clan school.

I was just thinking about checking to see if she was injured, whether she was one of the five who died."

Instructor Liu paused upon hearing this, then said, "Alright, I understand. Let's head back first, I'll go inquire for you.

By the way, for the next few days until the mission ends, don't come to the outer perimeter courtyards, understand?"

"What happened at the outer perimeter courtyards? Why won't you let us go?" Su Jin asked suspiciously.

"Just do as you're told. Alright, head back first. I'll go ask about your eldest niece for you." Instructor Liu said.

Su Jin: "..."

Su Jin had only been back at the large room her squad was in charge of for a few minutes when Instructor Liu arrived.

"Your eldest niece is fine, she wasn't injured, nor did she die. She even earned a little merit. Her class instructor thinks quite highly of her. Said your niece is a girl with a firm Dao heart and exceptional resilience." Instructor Liu said as soon as she came in, volunteering the information to Su Jin.

Su Jin immediately smiled upon hearing this.

As long as she's safe, that's good. Later, she'd find some free time to go check on her sister-in-law and Su Xiaohe.

"Su Jin, since you already know about your eldest niece's situation, don't go running around carelessly. If you get caught again, I'll have to punish you."

Su Jin was startled by these words.

She had originally been planning to sneak out one more time!

"Instructor Liu, my sister-in-law is here with my second niece nearby. Could you go check on them for me? So I don't get caught halfway when I sneak out to see them!"

"You really know how to pile work on me!" Instructor Liu said, exasperated.

Su Jin: "I didn't expect my sister-in-law and eldest niece to both be nearby either."

"Shut up, I'll go check on them for you." Instructor Liu rolled her eyes irritably, then left.

Su Wuji and Su Cheng laughed so hard they clutched their stomachs.

"Su Jin, this time you ran Instructor Liu's legs thin."

"I did not, don't frame me." Su Jin firmly denied. "I'm just a little kid, I just wanted to know if my nearby relatives were safe. What's wrong with that?"

Hahaha.

Su Wuji and Su Cheng kept laughing.

Even Gu Mama and the others were amused.

Before long, Instructor Liu flashed back again. "Your sister-in-law Liu Yunniang and your little niece Su Xiaohe are also fine, very safe. On their side last night, a caretaker went outside to change clothes and was bitten to death by a venomous snake.

Your sister-in-law asked me to remind you to definitely pay attention to safety, and not be caught off guard and ambushed by something."

"Got it, I'll definitely be careful." Su Jin said immediately.

"Then I'll be off now."

"Goodbye, Instructor Liu." The three children said in unison.

Instructor Liu nodded in satisfaction, turned around, and left.

That day passed quietly, and there was no sudden attack at night either. By the next morning, with one more day to go, they would complete the mission and leave this place.

So the schoolchildren were much more relaxed.

If the instructors hadn't kept such tight control, the "roaming everywhere" patrol army would probably have set out again.

After barely making it to the afternoon, Gu Mama was suddenly called away for a meeting.

She didn't return until it was dark, walking back with stiff limbs.

"Sigh, that steward could really talk. Three whole hours of talking, my whole body is stiff." Gu Mama said with a faint smile.

Su Jin looked at her slightly stiff smile and unconsciously moved closer to her.

Gu Mama looked at Su Jin, then smiled at her again, the corner of her mouth twitching somewhat unnaturally.

She also walked toward Su Jin, but just as she reached the halfway point, she seemed to be drawn to something.

Then her hands reached toward a fair, chubby three-month-old baby.

The baby was lying in a cradle nearby.

"Gu Mama, I have something to discuss with you." Su Jin, seeing that something was wrong, immediately strode toward Gu Mama.

Gu Mama, completely unaware, continued reaching for the child.

Her hands grabbed the baby, and at that very moment, a fleshy hole suddenly appeared on her forehead.

A white phantom shot out at high speed from the fleshy hole, rushing toward the baby's forehead.

This scene was so familiar. "Busatan, kill it." Su Jin silently recited Busatan's name, and the thin gold bracelet on her wrist instantly sent back a streak of golden light at the moment of her silent invocation.

At the same time, Gu Mama's abnormal behavior nearly scared Su Wuji and Su Cheng into a stupor. Fortunately, the two of them reacted in time and also rushed toward Gu Mama.

The white phantom moved with extreme speed; its foremost part had already opened its teeth, aiming to bite the baby's forehead.

Suddenly, Jin Guang flashed.

A small worm, just over an inch long and split in two from left to right, fell onto the baby's face with a plop.

Hee hee hee hee hee...

The baby laughed foolishly.

He even stretched out his tender little paw, trying to grab the thing on his face.

Su Jin hurried over and snatched away the worm, which had been split into two halves.

Immediately after, Gu Mama collapsed to the ground with a clang, becoming a corpse.

Aaaah! The other three caretakers could no longer endure such stimulation and screamed aloud.

Their screams immediately frightened many of the children in the large room.

"Shut up all of you. You continue to care for the children." Su Wuji shouted coldly.

Hoo hoo hoo...

Those three caretakers regained their reason amidst Su Wuji's cold shout and began to soothe the other children so they would stop crying.

"What happened?" Su Wuji and Su Cheng rushed over and asked anxiously.

"Contact Liu Shi immediately. Gu Mama went out for a meeting and was parasitized. As soon as she returned, she went straight for the baby's brain. It is estimated that the baby's brain is more attractive to these worms." Su Jin flipped open her palm, letting Su Wuji and the others see the worm's appearance.

It was white and tender, like a caterpillar.
