Chapter 813: A Simple Probe?
As the voice fell, nearly half of the six hundred and eleven new recruits surged forward, their eyes filled with a spirited fighting intent!
The other half hesitated, standing still, still unable to regain their senses.
Only a few individuals quickly turned and ran towards the playground exit, fully aware that without weapons, they could not possibly match a special team.
Even though only a small fraction of the new recruits charged up the high platform, that still amounted to over one hundred and fifty people given the large population base!
Countless brilliant forbidden ruins shone, crashing against the high platform like waves!
Boom—!!
The earth-shattering explosion echoed, and amidst the rolling thick smoke, the high platform had turned to ashes.
However, the seven members of the [Nightfall] team who had originally stood there had vanished without a trace…
“Huh? Where are they?” a new recruit asked in confusion.
“They must have run away!” another recruit excitedly replied, “Even a special team can’t withstand an attack from over six hundred people, right? It’s normal for them to run!”
“What do we do now?”
“Split up and chase! They must be hiding somewhere in this training camp; we’ll drag them out one by one!”
“The chief instructor said we were useless, so let’s unmask all of them and show them we can win! Let them have nothing to say!”
“Let’s go! Split up!”
“…”
Under the command of a few recruits with leadership qualities, the group quickly divided into several teams, each pursuing in different directions.
Li Zhenzhen intended to follow one of the teams but caught a glimpse of Fang Mo standing like a statue, motionless, and frowned slightly.
“That aura… it’s him! It’s definitely him!” Fang Mo stared intently at the spot where Lin Qiye had just stood, her eyes gradually brightening, “He is Lin Qiye!”
“…You’re crazy.” Li Zhenzhen rolled her eyes, “Hey! Are you coming or not? If we can break any one of their masks, we can graduate directly! Don’t you want to graduate early?”
Hearing Li Zhenzhen’s words, Fang Mo gradually came to her senses, as if she thought of something, her expression becoming serious.
“What’s with that expression?” Li Zhenzhen asked.
“Don’t you find it a bit strange?”
“Strange? What’s strange about it?”
Fang Mo pondered, “You said the chief instructor invited this team over for what purpose?”
Li Zhenzhen was taken aback, “To… establish authority?”
“Exactly, to establish authority.” Fang Mo nodded, “But if it’s to establish authority, shouldn’t they crush us new recruits with absolute strength? I think, even if Qiye… even if the [Nightfall] team’s realm is suppressed, it shouldn’t be difficult for them to team up and intimidate us new recruits.
At the very least, they should take the initiative to hunt us down, not the other way around, right?
If that’s the case, wouldn’t it completely fail to establish authority?”
Li Zhenzhen was stunned, recalling the sight of those new recruits excitedly chasing the [Nightfall] team, and fell into deep thought.
“Now that you mention it, it does seem that way… but why is that?”
“…I don’t know yet.” Fang Mo looked up, gazing into the distance, “But my intuition tells me that this matter… isn’t that simple.”
…
Under the night sky.
At the top of a dormitory building, a crimson figure wearing a Sun Wukong mask calmly watched the excited new recruits, the corners of his mouth slightly lifting beneath the mask.
“They’ve scattered.” Lin Qiye’s Bluetooth earpiece lit up, and he spoke softly, “Everyone, proceed as planned.”
“Understood.”
…
Cafeteria.
Dozens of new recruits rushed madly through the main entrance of the cafeteria, quickly dispersing to search.
“Search! The training camp is this big; we’ll definitely find the [Nightfall] team soon!”
“Another team is bringing weapons from the warehouse; they’ll be here shortly.”
“Who has a signal flare? Once we find a member of [Nightfall], shoot it off to gather everyone for an attack!”
“No problem!”
“Liu Ge, let’s go together.”
As everyone dispersed to search, a younger recruit approached another recruit, seemingly a bit scared.
The younger one was named Qian Duoduo, and the burly man beside him was his roommate, Liu Yang.
Seeing this, Liu Yang spoke helplessly, “Duoduo, you don’t need to be so scared; it’s just a competition. Honestly, I’d say our chances of winning aren’t great. After all, the Night Watchers won’t let us graduate so easily… Ultimately, this is about establishing authority.
Since it’s about establishing authority, do you think the [Nightfall] team would actually kill you? What’s there to be afraid of?”
“…But Liu Ge, don’t you think the night sky pressing down above us is quite unsettling?” Qian Duoduo said, shrinking back, “Anyway, I’m just going to follow you.”
“Alright, stick close to me. If you see any sign of the [Nightfall] team, shout immediately, got it?”
“Mm, got it!”
The two walked out of the cafeteria through the back door, slowly making their way toward the corner under the dim light.
Just then, they heard a whimpering sound ahead.
Liu Yang paused, grabbing Qian Duoduo and signaling for silence. The latter nodded slightly, and they both cautiously moved forward…
They arrived at a thicket, parting the branches to look in the direction of the sound.
In the secluded jungle, a figure radiated a chilling aura, flames flickering around him. He held a straight knife, blood dripping from the blade onto the ground, seeping into the soil…
At his feet lay a blood-soaked corpse.
Through the dim light from the roadside, Liu Yang and Qian Duoduo could barely make out that the corpse was wearing a uniform of an instructor.
Their pupils suddenly constricted!
They recognized that instructor; he was the one who had registered their information and directed them to their dormitory today. They had just seen him on the high platform at the playground!
This…
They instinctively looked at the figure holding the knife.
It was a demon draped in a crimson cloak, enveloped in black flames. He seemed to sense something, stepping on the corpse, slightly turning his head to look in their direction.
His terrifying crimson eyes narrowed slightly,
Amidst the swirling malevolence, a sinister smile curled at the corners of his mouth.
“Hehehe…”
Malice, blood, darkness, and a sinister grin.
He resembled a demon slaughtering all living beings.
This scene completely stunned Liu Yang and Qian Duoduo, especially the latter, whose legs went weak and collapsed to the ground, losing control of himself.
“Ahhhhh——!!” The terrified scream echoed into the sky.
The grinning demon was about to charge forward with his knife when he suddenly looked behind the two, slowly halting his steps. After hesitating for a moment, he vanished from sight.
