Flesh and blood, scum, and scales.

They were scattered across the water's surface like stars.

The green blood blended into the pond, making the green in the water seem even more translucent.

The remaining white specks of flesh and transparent scales floated scattered on the emerald green water.

It even evokes the unique beauty of fine snowflakes falling on green pines and cypresses, reflecting brilliant colors under the sunlight.

At this moment, Gu Xinghe and Carol were standing on the bridge, witnessing this scene.

It's like being a high-ranking person on a high platform, watching the fierce battles of beasts in the arena.

Perhaps it stems from the biological instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm, or perhaps it's because the hunger that comes from being awakened from slumber has finally been satisfied.

When only a dozen or so fish remained in the pond, the surviving wild animals finally stopped cannibalizing each other.

Despite consuming so much fish, they did not grow any larger.

Many of the fish even showed rather pitiful symptoms.

The surviving fish all had several open wounds, and some even had half of their heads eaten away.

However, on their bodies, one can clearly see that their dorsal fins and gills are sharper, and they seem to have a metallic sheen.

Watching the school of fish slowly dive back into the water.

Carol then poured all the cookies from the paper bag into the pond at once.

However, the sound of the biscuits falling into the water again did not attract any more fish.

"Let's leave all these cookies for the rest of the fish to recover from their injuries."

After pouring all the cookies into the pond, Carol turned to Gu Xinghe and said something.

"Isn't feeding the fish fun?"

Listening to Carol's thoughts, Gu Xinghe realized that he only heard the joy she felt in wanting to share the things she liked with him.

It seems to be because he saw him drawing a blackboard newspaper with Rekaya in the classroom.

Seeing him doing what Regaya enjoyed with her, Carol invited him to come over as well.

After the punishment in the art room where he accepted the bet, Carol's attitude towards him seemed to have changed slightly.

So Gu Xinghe nodded.

"Hmm, that's interesting."

The poor little fish not only suffers physical harm, but also mental anguish from the couple's relationship.

A world where only fish get hurt has been achieved!

I forgot, fish might not understand what emotional harm is.

Fish don't understand, but we do!

...

On the morning of the fourth day at Dawn Boarding School.

Gu Xinghe was walking along with the group at this moment.

While organizing the information he currently had regarding the "Seven Mysteries of the Campus" mentioned in the side quests—

Of the two "unbelievable" things he has experienced so far, the known ones are the meat chunks in the cafeteria and the plaster statues in the art room.

However, based on information revealed in the live stream rather than his direct experience.

There must also be something "unbelievable" in the infirmary and solitary confinement.

Unlike in the art studio where he even actively probed whether the plaster statues there were one of the "unbelievable" things.

Gu Xinghe still tries to avoid the latter two.

Even in the art room, he still retains a degree of control over the situation.

However, if he is put into the infirmary or solitary confinement, it means that his situation is most likely passive.

Either he was injured, or he violated the rules.

But if he really couldn't avoid these two things, Gu Xinghe felt he wouldn't be as afraid as others.

Just do it!

At this moment, Gu Xinghe was walking in the direction that the group was heading, which was none other than the school gate.

Including Elaine, the eight of them walked together toward the school gate.

This was to welcome the new students who were recruited again after Su Wu and others were "expelled" from school, when the student body was less than ten.

The experience they are going through now is probably the same as when Tao Changyi and the others welcomed Gu Xinghe and the other new students.

Three freshmen, two girls and one boy, were already standing in front of the school gate.

Including the seven current students still studying on campus, the gender ratio of the students at this time is even more balanced, with five boys and five girls.

Perhaps it was already close to the so-called seven days later; the campus assessment was now three days away.

In order to prevent Carol and Rekaya from suffering any further "losses".

This time, Elaine chose to personally come to the school gate to welcome the new students.

"Hello, Zhong Zhenkai, Zhang Ya, and Zhao Wenli! I am Elaine, a teacher at Shuguang Boarding School."

Just like before, Elaine introduced herself to the new students present.

Welcome to our school!

We're heading to the music room now to start our morning class.

Please come in with us first, and we'll get to know each other later in the music room where we'll have our lesson.

After exchanging glances, the three newlyweds followed the crowd into the campus as instructed.

This time, Elaine didn't let Carol lead everyone in playing welcome games; instead, she started teaching the course directly.

But when it came to the music classroom they were going to next, Gu Xinghe could recall quite a few related strange tales—

Unexplained piano music would occasionally drift from the empty music room.

Or perhaps the remains of a female student hidden under a piano, etc.

The music room is located on the sixth floor, the top floor of the teaching building.

When the classrooms were initially designed, the possibility of music disturbing other classes was probably taken into consideration.

Therefore, its location was decided on the top floor of the teaching building.

“Da-da-da-da-”

This is the first time that most of the eleven people in the team have reached the top floor.

The simple design of the stairs can make people feel numb and repetitive when passing by the same stairs repeatedly.

At that moment, freshman Zhao Wenli even silently counted the number of steps in her mind.

“Click—”

Gu Xinghe followed the others and stepped onto another step.

"ah--!!!"

Upon arriving at the campus, Carol and Rekaya did not block the door to prevent the new students from entering.

Although their actions at the time were quite egregious.

But it's more accurate to say that it set the "tone" for the overall atmosphere of the campus.

This allowed the students who entered to gain some understanding of the eerie and dangerous atmosphere on campus.

But I just entered the campus and haven't seen the two girls' rigorous assessment yet.

The three new students had virtually no knowledge of the school.

Seeing the scene unfolding before her, Zhao Wenli couldn't help but scream.

The dizziness she had already experienced from repeatedly navigating the repetitively designed steps seemed to be even more pronounced in her at this moment.
