61: Chapter 61 The Suffocating Classroom

The other "students" wandering around were completely unresponsive to all of this, continuing to drift by like ghosts.

Only it had locked onto Fang Che.

"Is it because I didn't enter the classroom?"

This thought flashed quickly through Fang Che's mind. It seemed that once the class bell rang, students had to be inside the classroom.

This was the rule. And he, a "transfer student," was still standing in the corridor at this moment.

He glanced at those tightly closed classroom doors, then looked at the monster approaching him step by step.

In the judgment of the school's rules, he was a "rule-breaker."

Therefore, the monster responsible for enforcing punishments had come looking for him.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Su Qingxue led the remaining dozen or so girls and walked quickly into an empty classroom at the end of the corridor.

With a "click," the door was closed from the inside.

Several timid girls immediately collapsed to the floor, gasping for breath, their faces full of the relief of having survived and lingering fear.

"We're saved... We made it inside..."

"It was too terrifying, those two just now..."

"Quiet!"

A cold, low shout interrupted their whispering.

Su Qingxue leaned against the door panel, her chest heaving slightly.

"Now is not the time to relax!"

Su Qingxue lowered her voice and swept her gaze across the entire classroom.

More than half of the dozens of desks were already occupied.

Those were "students" wearing blue and white uniforms; they each kept their heads down, motionless, as if they were fast asleep.

The girls, who had just calmed down, saw this scene, and their hearts jumped into their throats again.

They had to find seats to sit in now, but the living and the dead were mixed together in the classroom, and the empty seats were scattered.

What if... what if they sat in a seat they shouldn't have? What would happen?

No one dared to imagine.

Just when everyone was at a loss and didn't know what to do.

"Don't panic."

Mu Waner's voice rang out.

She adjusted the glasses on the bridge of her nose, the lenses reflecting a dim light.

The next second, she activated her S-rank talent without hesitation.

[Eye of Analysis]!

In her field of vision, the scene of the entire classroom changed.

On some of the empty seats, a faint green halo appeared, while others were shrouded in an ominous dark red.

"Third row on the left, fourth seat."

"Fifth row on the right, by the window."

"And the last row, those two in the very corner."

Mu Waner's voice was fast and clear; without any hesitation, she quickly called out the safe seats one by one.

"Quick! Sit where she says!"

Su Qingxue ordered immediately.

The core members of the team did not doubt her at all.

Jiang Ning quickly went to the seat on the left designated by Mu Waner.

Gu Nanzhi also pulled a girl she was familiar with and quickly found the seat by the window.

The remaining girls, under Su Qingxue's command and Mu Waner's guidance, also hurriedly ran towards the empty seats marked as "safe."

Their movements were very light; they dared not make a sound.

With the perfect cooperation between the two, within just over ten seconds, all the survivors who rushed into the classroom had safely found their seats and sat down.

Just at the moment the last girl sat down.

Ring-a-ling—

That sharp, ear-piercing class bell stopped abruptly.

The entire campus fell silent once again.

Inside the classroom, that suffocating atmosphere reached its peak at this moment.

Swish—

All the ghost students with their heads down raised their heads in unison at the same time.

Pale, hollow, featureless faces all turned towards the direction of Su Qingxue and the other "new students."

Those non-existent eyes seemed to carry a sense of scrutiny, staring fixedly at them.

"Gulp." Jiang Ning swallowed her saliva and quickly lowered her head.

Gu Nanzhi shrank her shoulders and also hurriedly lowered her head, looking very frightened.

Su Qingxue sat in the first row, bearing the most direct pressure.

She could feel the cold sweat seeping from her temples, but she still forced herself to remain calm on her face, without revealing any flaws.

...

Meanwhile, in the corridor.

Fang Che and that featureless monster were still in a standoff.

The monster moved forward another step, leaving less than three meters of distance from Fang Che.

A fishy, foul wind blew into his face.

The surrounding air seemed to become thick and cold because of its presence.

Fang Che's body had already entered combat mode.

His muscles were tensed, ready to unleash his strongest power at any moment.

But he did not move.

He was observing.

He discovered that although this monster had locked onto him, its movements were very sluggish, more like a programmed warning and expulsion.

This made him feel more confident.

"In other words, as long as I enter the classroom and sit down before the class bell ends, nothing will happen."

"But if I keep staying outside, I will be treated as a target and constantly harassed, or even attacked, by this kind of 'Disciplinary Committee Member'."

Fang Che's brain was spinning fast.

He even had a bolder guess.

What if he killed it?

If he killed this "Disciplinary Committee Member," would there be any special drops? Or would it trigger a [Critical Hit] for his talent?

After his full attributes had been increasing rapidly recently and his physical fitness had far exceeded that of ordinary people, a hard-to-suppress excitement and fighting spirit rose in Fang Che's heart.

He just happened to need a target to test his current strength.

The sluggish monster in front of him was simply the best target delivered to his doorstep!

Just at this moment, that faceless "student" seemed to have lost its last bit of patience.

A hideous gap suddenly split open in the center of its blank face!

The gap expanded to both sides, stretching directly to the position of its ears; there was no tongue inside, only dense, pale fangs like those of a shark!

"Roar!"

A roar that did not sound human erupted from that giant mouth.

The monster got down on all fours and, like a predatory spider, lunged fiercely towards Fang Che!

Fang Che did not retreat but advanced instead, kicking his right leg back violently; the hard terrazzo floor was actually stomped into a shallow footprint by him!

Borrowing this terrifying explosive force, he charged head-on, fearlessly facing that giant mouth full of fangs!
