Chapter 28 School for the Blind

"Bang--"

Gunshots rang out.

This farcical internal conflict ended with the guard shooting the monster teacher.

Before Jin Sheng could figure out how to find Xu Zhiyan and let him pet his dog, he and the other players were driven to the center of the yard.

Xu Zhiyan escaped the disaster without knowing it.

A middle-aged man with glasses hurried to the school hospital. He was about forty years old.

From his conversation with the guards around him, we can learn that the person who came is the new principal of Shiming Middle School.

"What's going on? Why are there only so few people left?" He stepped over the monster teacher's body, as if the archives teacher who had just died did not exist at all.

The principal pointed at the remaining students in the school hospital, and his fingers began to tremble.

"Is this enough? Why are there only so few left? Aren't there still several classes that haven't completed the physical examination?" He cursed at the school doctor.

The school doctor, who had been watching the fight and laughing foolishly just now, was scolded. He hurried over and whispered a few words into the principal's ear, and only then did he manage to calm the principal's anger.

After sending the principal away, he wiped his forehead and turned to look at the students standing in the yard waiting for physical examinations.

"One, two, three... six."

The school doctor's cloudy eyes first glanced at the sky that was already setting, then turned to look at the six students in front of him, and said with a fake smile on his face: "Let's continue. It's not over yet. Adding six more should be enough... Let's organize the physical examination in a few days."

Just like that, the remaining six students were taken back to the second floor to continue their physical examination.

In the corridor, Xu Zhiyan and Jin Sheng stood at the end of the line.

The remaining six students, no more, no less, are all players.

The three girls, Qiao Yiyi, Yao Xianxian and Wei Linda, were at the front, followed by Ge Lun Jinsheng and Xu Zhiyan.

There were originally ten players, but after this round of screening, only six were left.

Not only were newcomers like Tan An and Ding Yan eliminated silently in this round of missions, but even players like Li Zuoshan and Cen Shuai, who had several mission experiences, failed to complete the physical examination alive.

Thinking of Tan An, Xu Zhiyan felt complicated.

If it weren't for this selfish guy, Ding Yan and another person who looked like he had no fighting spirit, Cen Shuai, wouldn't have died in the screening. They could probably just lie there in their 'blind' state until the end of the game.

Now the only newcomers left are him and Qiao Yiyi, but the other party's condition looks a little strange, which inevitably made him look at him a few more times.

Jin Sheng stood behind Xu Zhiyan.

He patted his teammate on the shoulder, and then he repeated aloud the strange words he had just heard the monster teacher say.

When Xu Zhiyan heard this, he frowned slightly and nodded to show that he understood.

Seeing his teammates looking at Qiao Yiyi, who was ranked first, in a daze, Jin Sheng continued, "That Qiao Yiyi is really miserable."

"Huh?" Xu Zhiyan was confused.

Seeing that the guards around would not stop him from speaking in a low voice, Jin Sheng explained to Xu Zhiyan.

"She and Ding Yan are teacher and student. Both of them chose the low-difficulty blind state at the beginning, but it was unfortunately messed up by Tan An. I heard that during the physical examination in the afternoon, Ding Yan took the initiative to swap positions with Qiao Yiyi in order to protect his students."

Ding Yan and Qiao Yiyi, who were completely unprepared, went for the physical examination one after another. Ding Yan went in first, and not long after, he became a blind corpse and was carried away.

Qiao Yiyi witnessed all of this, and stumbled away with his medical examination form, seemingly unable to accept the reality.

"Fortunately, we caused a riot later and all the students started running around. Otherwise, if she had been caught and taken back for a physical examination, there would have been no chance of her survival." Jin Sheng sighed.

Everyone has their first time entering a dungeon.

But there are few unlucky people like Qiao Yiyi, who have their game difficulty doubled because of other players' stupid operations.

Xu Zhiyan nodded and looked away.

His purpose of creating chaos is to gather all the players together for physical examination, so that as long as he provides enough information, the survival rate of the players will increase.

Then he used side quests and hidden items as bait to confirm his identity as the previous BOSS, so that other players could be used by him.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhiyan lowered his eyes, suddenly turned around and started chatting with Jin Sheng.

"I feel some pain in my eyes, and I can't see clearly. I don't know if I'm going blind."

He did not lower his voice, and as soon as he finished speaking, all the players except Qiao Yiyi stretched their heads to look at him. Even the guards guarding the corridor could not help but look at him a few more times.

Ge Lun was a bad mouth. He didn't think twice before he asked, "Are you being punished for doing too many bad things?"

“Bang!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Wei Linda slapped Ge Lun hard on the back of his head, making a loud noise.

Ge Lun bent over with his hands covering his head, wailing.

"It hurts, it hurts, you're going to smash my head."

Wei Linda ignored him and nodded seriously at Xu Zhiyan with a grateful look.

Yao Xianxian, who was sitting in front of her, also nodded.

Ge Lun covered his head and stood up straight, then he realized that it was Xu Zhiyan, the former boss, who gave them the physical examination reminder.

"...I will definitely change my bad mouth. I will definitely change it." As he said this, he patted his cheeks.

He was badly tricked by Xu Zhiyan before, and still can't get used to his boss status. He always feels like it's fake, but whenever he mentions it, he will be beaten up by his teammate Wei Linda.

Seeing that they were talking more and more, the guard shouted at them to stand still and not to chat anymore.

The corridor returned to silence.

After a while, the school doctor with wrinkled face poked his head out of the door and called out, "Come on, come on, there are only a few of us, come together."

The remaining six players did not resist and walked in together.

The classroom for physical examinations is larger than expected. There are several tables inside and a few large storage boxes in the corners. I don’t know what these boxes are used for.

The air was filled with the smell of fresh blood, so strong that even the smell of disinfectant could not cover it up, making people feel sick.

Qiao Yi Yi is the first one.

She was completely dazed, and followed the teacher's instructions to sit down and hand in her physical examination form.

Seeing this, Xu Zhiyan couldn't help but wonder whether this newcomer had understood his hint... or in other words, whether the other party had been listening at all?

The old school doctor stood aside and urged with a smile.

"Let's get started now, I'm still waiting to get off work!"

The doctor sitting opposite Qiao Yiyi took the form and first asked for Qiao Yiyi's personal information.

"What's your name?"

“…”

"age?"

“…”

"Home address?"

“…”

No matter what the doctor on the other side asked, Qiao Yiyi did not answer. She seemed to be frightened and did not move at all.

The doctor was a little impatient and asked again: "How old are you?"

Qiao Yiyi seemed a little impatient with the question. She suddenly stood up and answered casually, "Twenty."

As soon as the answer came out, Xu Zhiyan secretly said that it was not good, but before he could open his mouth to give a hint, Qiao Yiyi suddenly covered his eyes and screamed.

"ah--"

"My eyes! They hurt!!!"

“Ahhhhh—”

After just three sentences, she slammed her head on the table in front of her and died.

Xu Zhiyan stood there in a daze. His hand, which he had just raised, hovered in the air for a moment, then he put it down again, pretending nothing had happened.

Death came too suddenly, and the audience in front of the barrage seemed to have awakened some fear of the copy.

[Sure enough, Xiao Baiwan is indeed a newcomer. ]

[That's it. Look at the remaining four. Even Jin Sheng just turned his head away and couldn't bear to watch. Xiao Baiwan actually wanted to save her.]

[Indeed, Xiao Baiwan has been targeted everywhere since he entered the game, but he has been able to handle himself well, and at most he has seen a few corpses.]

[When ordinary newcomers see a player die for the first time, their reactions are very strong. Xiao Baiwan's mental quality is considered good.]

[Alas, I will no longer say that he has no conscience. He still has a conscience. ]

[But this bridge is really fragile. She didn't answer the NPC questions properly. Even ten million dollars can't save her.]

[I want to know why this twenty is wrong...]

The physical examination classroom was silent, as if Qiao Yiyi's scream just now was just an auditory hallucination.

The old principal saw the five people queuing up and waved his hand to comfort them, "It's okay, it's okay, wait a minute, I'll clean it up."

As he said this, he called the guards to come and carry Qiao Yiyi's dead body out of the door.

The moment the body was lifted from the table, two puddles of stuff slid off Qiao Yiyi's head with a "pop".

The faces of the rest of the people turned very ugly.

Those were a pair of eyes with optic nerves and surrounding tissues.

The school doctor walked to the corner of the classroom, took out a small lunch box the size of a palm from the box, came back, put the eyes that Qiao Yiyi had dropped on the table into the box, put them back in the box, and asked the guard to wipe the table.

Xu Zhiyan had just recovered when he saw Yao Xianxian in the front row looking a little pale and winking at him.

Yao Xianxian pointed at Xu Zhiyan and then at herself, her intention was obvious.

To be safe, he wanted to switch positions with Xu Zhiyan.

After all, compared to other players, he has lost an arm due to an accident. If the NPC wants to mess with him next, it will be very difficult for him.

When Xu Zhiyan saw this, his depressed mood, which had just been caused by witnessing the death of a player, instantly brightened up.

He looked back, nodded, raised his hand, and rubbed his index finger and thumb a few times.

The meaning is clear:

You can change it, but you have to pay.

Yao Xianxian gritted her teeth and nodded.

He made a 'C' gesture with his backhand, meaning that he would give Xu Zhiyan a C-level item later.

Xu Zhiyan curled the corners of his mouth, and while the teachers and guards were busy, he walked over as if nothing had happened and exchanged seats with Yao Xianxian.

Standing in the front row of the team, Xu Zhiyan compared the contents on his physical examination form, called up the task panel, and checked the first task and the information given by the copy.

When Qiao Yiyi didn't answer, the NPC was dissatisfied but didn't do anything to her. But after she answered, the punishment came.

Qiao Yiyi shouldn't answer his real age.

Since their current identities are all students of Shiming Middle School, that means their answers should be close to the "student identity" used in the copy.

There was some basic information printed on the previous application form, and Xu Zhiyan had read it carefully. Combined with the specific street address given in the copy, it should be fine to fill in the previous content.

Moreover, their physical examination form only had one piece of paper, which was much shorter than Liang Tong’s file in the archives room, so they probably wouldn’t ask for more specific information.

After a while, the classroom was cleaned.

Xu Zhiyan did not wait for the school doctor to urge him and took the initiative to sit in the same position.

The teacher opposite took the form and didn't ask why the person was changed. He just started the routine inquiries.

"Name?"

"Xu Zhiyan."

"age?"

"Sixteen Years Old"

"Home address..."

With preparation, Xu Zhiyan answered every question fluently.

Soon, the basic information was filled in.

Just when he thought there was no big problem, the teacher took two seals from the side and asked, "Are you a biological child, or were you adopted by your parents?"

"?" Xu Zhiyan was stunned and subconsciously wanted to answer that they were his biological children.

But he changed his mind and stopped talking.

You can't answer it wrong.

It's okay not to answer, but if you answer wrong you will die.

In the background of the system prompt, it did not specify whether he was a biological child or an adopted child, it just said that his parents gave him this place.

Later, whether it was the questions he asked or the appearance of his adopted sons and daughters, he entered a fixed mode of thinking - he was a biological child, and his brothers and sisters were adopted.

But is this really the case?

When a normal family adopts a child, it is mostly because they do not have their own children, so they want to adopt one. Even if they have their own children later, they should be older brothers and sisters, not a brother and a younger sister.

And when he was communicating with other students in the corridor, he found that many of the children here seemed to be adopted...

Why does this town want to adopt so many children?

There are more and more clues, and the whole story line seems to be becoming clearer.

"What are you staring at? Is this your biological child or adopted?"

The teacher opposite who was waiting to fill out the form became very impatient and knocked on the table and asked again.

Xu Zhiyan frowned, revealing a distressed expression.

"I...I don't know. My parents said I'm their biological child, but I don't seem to look like them."

After listening to what was said, the doctor who was filling out the form took out a red stamp and stamped it at the bottom of Xu Zhiyan's medical examination form.

【Not a direct descendant of the town residents】

After stamping it, he put away the form and motioned the student in front of him to wait aside.

Xu Zhiyan walked to the rest area nearby, put his hands on the table, tapped the tabletop with his fingertips in a rapid rhythm, and fell into deep thought.

Upon seeing this, the other four players began to reflect on whether they were the biological children or not, and began to copy and paste in the subsequent form-filling session, making their life stories confusing and confusing. In short, they didn't know whether they were the biological children or not.

As a result, the teacher who was stamping the papers waved his hand and filled out four sheets of paper, and they were all adopted.

The next step is the actual physical examination.

Several people looked at each other, and Xu Zhiyan said that he was a little tired and wanted to sit for a while, so he let the remaining four people go first.

Jin Sheng received the signal from his teammates and was the first to undergo a physical examination.

The first few checks were just routine, measuring height and weight. I didn't know who they were trying to fool.

The only thing was the eye examination, which the doctor did very carefully.

Jin Sheng felt that his acting skills were not good, so he didn't plan to pretend to be too good. He explained directly to the doctor: "Teacher, my eyes have been hurting these days. I can't see clearly at night from time to time. I don't know what's going on."

As soon as these words were spoken, several doctors in white coats gathered around.

“When did the symptoms start?”

"Do your eyes hurt?"

"Apart from the temporary blindness, are there any other symptoms?"

"Is the picture you see when you are blind black? Or is it something else? Anything will do."

NPC doctors came rushing up and asked questions one after another. Jin Sheng was overwhelmed and could only give some misleading information similar to what Xu Zhiyan had said before.

“It started a long time ago.”

"Sometimes it hurts and sometimes it doesn't, it depends on my mood."

“Sometimes there are other symptoms, sometimes there are no other symptoms…”

It's the same as saying nothing, it's just a lonely thing.

However, his physical examination report finally came out and he was qualified.

Seeing this, Yao Xianxian, Ge Lun and Wei Linda also imitated Jin Sheng.

From glaucoma to 3,000-degree myopia, and eyes that sometimes work better and sometimes not, everyone talked about some strange eye-related diseases.

A group of doctors in white coats asked questions again and again, surrounding a few people and chattering, fearing that they would miss any details.

In the end, the physical examination reports of the four players, including Jin Sheng, were qualified.

Several people breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Zhiyan watched from the side until it was finally his turn.

He sat down slowly opposite the somewhat excited physical examination teacher and school doctor, and no longer wanted to do any other perfunctory examinations.

Without waiting for the other party to ask, he said: "My eyes are fine, there is no problem."

"……Um?"

The four players who were still waiting on the side suddenly looked over with wide eyes, unable to believe why Xu Zhiyan, who had given them the physical examination clues, had to say clearly that there was nothing wrong with his eyes.

The school doctor nodded, with the unique coldness of an NPC, took another seal from the side, and wanted to stamp it on.

At the same time, the task panel pops up.

[Task 4: Players are requested to follow their classmates to participate in the afternoon physical examination]

[Progress: 100%]

[Player class integration: 0%]

[Reward: Main quest (enter the blind school)]

[Main Quest [Part 1]: Entering the Blind School]

[Progress: 100%]

【Main Quest Update】

[Main Quest [Part 2]: End of the Ceremony]

[Task 5: Survive in the Blind School]

[Progress: 0%]

[Tip: Players who pass the physical examination will be favored by NPCs, and their survival rate will be greatly improved; players who fail the physical examination will be judged as "food", and their survival probability will be greatly reduced. Please take care of yourself. ]

I don’t know who the last six words are referring to.

But Xu Zhiyan raised his eyebrows and took a look, feeling that this crappy game was talking about him.

“Ka——”

The school doctor ruthlessly struck back, and a stamp of "failed physical examination" was stamped on Xu Zhiyan's physical examination report.

【food】

It says food.

In other words, all those who fail the physical examination are like food in the blind school, at the bottom.

In the live broadcast room, the barrage of comments started to go crazy.

【？ ？ ？ ？ 】

[Please let me explain, thank you]

[What? Why? Is Xiao Baiwan crazy? ]

[I could still say the previous operation was cool and look forward to a reversal, but this one is completely out of control, right? ]

[Is Xiao Baiwan playing? No way? He is not that kind of person.]

[I don’t understand this wave of operations]

[Do you think you can get more points if you don't have the blindness BUFF and the difficulty is higher than others?]

[Don’t wash it upstairs, I’m afraid it’s really overturned this time]

Some people even started calling out to the big guys who bet millions to come out and take a walk.

[Did the boss who is about to lose one million points see this? 】

[I just want to know how it feels to lose a million dollars. Although I haven’t, I’m already feeling bad! ]

At the beginning, everyone was just talking nonsense. After all, Xu Zhiyan’s previous outrageous actions really slapped the audience in the face again and again.

But no one expected that they would actually wait for an anonymous user to make a comment.

[Anonymous] He has his reasons for doing this. ]

【？ ？ ？ ？ 】

[Fuck, can you still be anonymous in the live broadcast room? 】

[Is this anonymous person the person who placed the bet? ]

[Yes, but this kind of prop that is not in the game itself is only available in the top-level difficulty dungeons! And the drops are very rare, I'll kneel down first! ]

Inside the Yunshan old house.

The monsters piled up at the edge of the lobby on the first floor, not daring to breathe.

Behind the empty shrine, the sound of chains colliding could be heard, mixed with low sighs.

"What are you going to do?"

Inside the copy, Xu Zhiyan had no idea how much of a stir his actions had caused, and he was calmer than anyone else.

Based on the clues he got before and what happened to Bai Jin ten years ago, he has completely understood the meaning of 'Blind School'!

In the timeline ten years ago, whether it was the first or second round, the person being performed the ritual was Bai Jin.

He can see the future and his abilities are used by others.

After the blind school was closed down, he either left, his abilities failed, or he lost control.

In short, Bai Jin was not used again in the next ten years.

Because whether it is the physical examination that the player has undergone or Liang Tong's information, they all point in the same direction - this school has no new person who can start the ceremony, and the school leaders have not given up on being able to see the future. After the establishment of Shiming Middle School, they secretly opened a blind school to cultivate new "eyes of the future."

Then it all makes sense.

The wealthy were unwilling to lose the opportunity to see the future, so they spent a lot of money to buy abandoned orphans from outside and let the people in the town adopt them.

The townspeople sent the orphans they raised to middle school.

That's why they ask whether the child is their biological child during the physical examination; that's why the school doctor says "it's your fate"; and that's why the teacher in the archives room says "you're going to die anyway."

The orphans who were sent here were raised and sent to school, where they were divided into two categories.

Most of it is used as food, supplied to the 'Eyes of the Future' that are being cultivated.

The remaining small number of people who have vision problems but seem to have special abilities become the "cultivated ones".

Jin Sheng on the side desperately signaled to Xu Zhiyan, hoping that his teammates would run quickly.

Xu Zhiyan sat on the chair motionless.

He looked at the school doctor who brought the small plastic box from the corner, raised the corners of his mouth, and spoke with a smile.

"Doctor, I seem to have seen something extraordinary."

"I saw you, and I saw that you would be killed within the next two days..."

Isn't it just the 'future'?

After saying that, Xu Zhiyan lowered his head and laughed.

He thought, since you guys are so eager for the 'future', I'll just give you one.

Seeing this, everyone present, including the players, stood there in a daze.

For some reason, Xu Zhiyan thought of Bai Jin.

That ignorant boy back then also revealed his future to the school doctor...
