Chapter 21: So the trap is waiting for me right here?

Is this a coincidence?

Or can the other party truly see through him?

Teacher Yao felt the palm holding the ring go slightly numb; he actually sensed a pressure from this damn student in the strange outfit that was no weaker than Principal Wang's.

The difference was that Principal Wang's absolute power made him tremble.

This guy, however, used unknown behavior and methods to see through and bewitch the heart, making him terrified upon deep thought.

"Good... pleasant cooperation."

Teacher Yao had no choice.

Such things only happen zero times or countless times.

After compromising in the small black room yesterday, it was destined that the two of them were already grasshoppers tied to the same boat.

For this, Wu Wang used 【Shadow Mutual Combat Art】 to quietly open the voice recorder in his pants pocket.

You and your brother are heart-to-heart.

Your brother plays mind games with you!

Smiling, he asked: "So which homeroom teacher do you plan to target? Give the students a goal."

The skinny old man in front of him blurted out without hesitation: "Class Seven's homeroom teacher! Zhang Yanli!"

"Oh? Why her?"

This question made Teacher Yao's face look somewhat ferocious; he said viciously: "Because only she can threaten my position. Eliminate her, and next year after the principal is promoted, I will be the principal here!"

"Good! As you wish!"

Wu Wang smiled even more brilliantly.

Watching the old man drool while fantasizing about a beautiful future, he lightly tapped the table.

Signaling that the other party still had other things unsaid.

Only then did Teacher Yao come to his senses; looking out the window cautiously like a thief, he then flipped a blank notebook off the table and quickly wrote information about the Art Building on it—

【The Art Building only appears between midnight and 3 AM】

【Location is behind the small black room】

【Must apply oil painting paint to enter; the only paint box is locked in the principal's office safe; the password is known to no one】

【The principal is not in the office after midnight】

Stopping his pen, he looked up at Wu Wang.

After about ten seconds to confirm the other party had finished reading the content, he tore off the page and pointed at the lighter Wu Wang was holding.

Hoo—

Another pile of ash on the ground.

Grinning to reveal a row of teeth stained yellow by tea stains and cigarette smoke, he shrugged and said: "I have provided what you wanted to know; next is your own skill. Don't make me go get things."

What Teacher Yao referred to was obviously the paint box inside Principal Wang's office.

In his view, stealing this item was even more difficult than catching Liu Yang inside the small black room.

After all, Principal Wang was simply too powerful.

Within Gaoshan High School, his power was unmatched; no person or thing could oppose him.

Not being in the office did not mean he was without guard.

Once exposed, the principal could instantly space-shift and appear in the office at any moment.

The result would be a dead end.

"I have my own methods. Goodbye."

Before leaving, Wu Wang glanced strangely at the top of Teacher Yao's head.

There was a string of text that was unusually glaring—

【The other party expects you to succeed, but also hopes you die inside the principal's office; he is very conflicted】

Winding back to the dormitory.

Locking the doors and windows, even pulling the curtains, and using a book to block the observation hole on the door to ensure no one could notice the situation inside.

Wu Wang began to take off his clothes.

Removing the half-finger tactical gloves, unbuttoning the military combat uniform and the bulletproof vest underneath.

Revealing the colorful Gaoshan High School uniform beneath, he reached out and rubbed the colors on it.

"As expected, except for red, everything is painted with oil paint." He joked: "So the trap is waiting for me right here?"

He didn't need to steal the paint.

He only needed to wear this uniform to enter the Art Building!

Why call it a trap?

Unless something unexpected happened, his main quest was different from others', precisely because of this school uniform.

It wants him to enter the Art Building! What is the purpose?

Wu Wang did not know.

"Abyss God, this has to do with you too, right?" Flipping his wrist to gaze at the mark Master Ke gave him below.

At this moment, that red vertical pupil actually blinked from time to time, and could even rotate its pupil to survey everything around.

Clearly showing signs of life activity.

And now, staring directly at it, there was no longer that strange delirium or the feeling of losing Sanity.

【Vision of Truth (Passive)】

【You are using His vision to see through the truth】

The information panel floating on the red vertical pupil read as such.

The two points Wu Wang mentioned — "Rule Privilege" and "Stupid Curiosity" — that had made Teacher Yao's face go deathly pale, were precisely because those two phrases had been hovering above the other party's head at the time.

Added to the text from before he left.

He could basically confirm that the red vertical pupils let him see through to others' true inner thoughts.

"So then, Gul'dan, what's the price?"

Wu Wang borrowed a classic line from Warcraft to mock.

Too bad the vertical pupils couldn't talk back.

After a moment's thought, he smiled.

Setting aside whatever price this ability might have, since the mission wanted him to throw the situation into chaos, then he'd throw it into even more thorough chaos!

This was a five-person dungeon, after all!

He had to let them have fun too!

He quickly dressed to cover the bloodstained school uniform.

He scurried off toward the teaching building.

The exam there had only just started.

Bang—

The door of Gao San Class One was kicked open.

The proctor frowned as he looked at this oddly-dressed student outside the door.

Puzzled, he said: "Student, what are you…"

"Taking the exam! Otherwise did I come for the buffet?" Wu Wang walked cheerfully back to his seat.

He picked up the blank test paper on the desk and skimmed through it quickly.

Then he started writing furiously.

Chen Baili beside him was even more puzzled.

"Doesn't this guy have an excuse slip? You fucking model student actually came here to study and take the exam?" he was completely dumbfounded inside.

But the exam at hand still couldn't be taken lightly — after all, failing meant getting thrown into the little black room.

He quickly adjusted his state and continued working the problems.

Time began to fly by on the test paper.

Swoosh—

Wu Wang shot to his feet.

He picked up his paper, passed by Chen Baili, and accidentally bumped his desk.

Then, under the proctor's wary gaze, he placed the paper on the podium.

He turned, intending to leave the classroom again.

"Student, what exactly are you trying to do? I'm warning you, this is an exam hall!" The proctor's tone was no longer friendly.

For students who caused trouble, he would naturally mete out punishment.

Wu Wang turned back, bewildered, and said: "I'm blind, teacher. I can't see the test paper, so I can't take the exam."

Having said that, he pulled the excuse slip from his pocket and even poked his finger into his eye socket.

There was nothing inside.

【Shadow Self-Fighting Art】 had long since swapped his eyeballs to somewhere the proctor couldn't see.

"?"

Now it was the proctor's turn to be dumbfounded.

What was wrong with this guy? Blind and still came to take the exam, scribbled a few random strokes and now wants to hand in his paper and leave.

Not right in the head, is he?

"Get lost, get lost, don't come back in!"

Faced with the excuse slip, he still couldn't do anything to Wu Wang — just chased him out of the exam hall.

The whole process looked utterly inexplicable.

Only Chen Baili knew what had actually happened.

The test paper on his desk had changed!

It was no longer the blank test paper he'd been racking his brains over, but a paper filled with answers!

And a small note—

【Hand in your paper and come find me in the bathroom】

"Gulp—"

Chen Baili swallowed.

Twenty minutes…

From entering to leaving, Wu Wang had only taken twenty minutes!

One had to know this test paper covered every subject — with a perfect score of 100, multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank were only 0.2 points each, and even the math and comprehensive science big questions were only 1 point each.

Apart from no language arts essay, the entire paper had over three hundred questions.

The exam time was a full five hours.

And he finished it?!

With a half-doubting attitude.

Chen Baili gritted his teeth and stomped his foot.

He handed in his paper.

He left the exam hall under the proctor's murderous gaze.

"Bro, are you serious? You'd better really have something urgent, otherwise if I bomb this exam I'm done for!" Chen Baili asked helplessly toward Wu Wang, who was playing with water inside the bathroom.

Yet the other party said something that left him dumbfounded.

"Relax, I guarantee a perfect hundred to make you first in the whole class — something this simple, can't you just glance at it and know the answer? It's your problem for being slow, not mine."

"?"

Chen Baili was completely baffled.

Recalling the test paper in his hand just now, it seemed…

There really wasn't a single mistake?

Immediately his expression turned strange.

In his heart, he quietly tagged Wu Wang—

【High-IQ mental patient, excellent potential, worth recruiting into the Bureau of Anomalies, but must arrange the best psychologist for him as first priority】

Seeing Chen Baili frozen in place, Wu Wang walked up to him.

He wiped the water on his hands onto the other's school uniform and said solemnly: "I have a lead on the school-skipper."

"The principal's office safe hides a box of oil paints. After midnight at 12, you guys go steal it out and take it behind the little black room, and you can open the entrance to a certain building — all the clues are inside."

"!"

This news made Chen Baili's eyes light up.

Finally some substantive progress!

The certain building the other spoke of should be the Art Building they'd been searching for so desperately!

But still a bit puzzled: "We go steal the paints? Then what do you do?"

Wu Wang explained with a firm tone:

"I'll go to the little black room ahead of time to scout for you guys. That building only stays open for three hours, and I need to make sure no accident happens in the little black room — like that tentacle ghost popping out again."

Hearing that the other was volunteering to go to the little black room.

Chen Baili nearly burst into tears.

Gathering crucial intel, proactively taking on danger, helping him get through the exam crisis.

What is this?

This is a good brother! A great teammate!

He took back what he'd said before.

That guy Wei Wang Ren is still very dependable!
