In Mu Xiaoxing's eyes, Mu Chen was a lunatic, and even more, a monster without feelings.
Later, she changed her view of him.
Reality slap...
"We don't know what's going on over there. We only know we can't leave right now. They say the outer courtyard is dangerous and that we'll die if we go back. Some people don't believe that and have been trying to find ways to leave the inner courtyard and go to the outer courtyard."
"Some people's curiosity is very strong, making them eager to venture into dangerous areas. Even if the price of the far right is painful, they will remain indifferent before starting."
Mo Cheng spoke very sensibly. He was like this before. When faced with danger, his first reaction was not fear but the desire to open it and see what was inside.
"Mu Xiaoxing, do you know what's over there?"
"Mo Cheng, what's the point of asking this? Mu Xiaoxing doesn't know either. She hasn't returned to that place. Those people will definitely tell us what's there in a few days. We should just wait and see."
"Mu Xiaoxing doesn't know either, so don't ask me any more questions. Mu Xiaoxing, am I right? Don't you know the situation over there either?"
Mo Cheng asked Mu Xiaoxing, and Mu Xiaoxing was about to tell him something when Wen Rengui stopped her from talking, intentionally or unintentionally not letting her talk about that place.
Wen Rengui turned his back to Mo Cheng and faced Mu Xiaoxing. He winked at Mu Xiaoxing hard, asking her not to tell Mo Cheng that she knew the situation over there.
Mu Xiaoxing had some doubts, but chose not to say anything. Wen Rengui must have his own reasons for doing this. If they didn't want him to tell them, then he wouldn't tell them for the time being.
......
After Mo Cheng went out to look for something, only Mu Xiaoxing and Wen Rengui were left in the room.
"Why didn't you let me tell anyone just now?"
Mu Xiaoxing looked at Wen Rengui, who was cooking instant noodles while answering Mu Xiaoxing's questions. He had calculated that the college did not like others to know about this matter, especially the freshmen like them.
"Telling it to others will only do you harm and nothing good. It might even put your life in danger. The academy is doing everything they can to hide that matter. If you tell them directly, wouldn't that be a slap in their face?"
Wen Rengui was explaining the ways of the world to Mu Xiaoxing. Here, the academy was the most important. Things that the academy didn't want them to know should not be told to others for the time being, and they should just keep it to themselves.
"Wen Rengui, do you know about Lei Nuoyu's situation?"
Mu Xiaoxing changed the subject. She walked over and asked Wen Rengui close to her. The smell of instant noodles wafted into her nose.
"I know. I helped him because I went back there and saw someone in the room. I saw Lei Nuoyu in your dormitory. That child was waiting for you. There was a strange beast outside the door."
"I climbed over the wall and got in. I sent him into the tunnel, knocked him unconscious and threw him in."
"I can't take Lei Nuoyu back to the inner courtyard with me, so this is the only solution."
Wen Rengui spoke very frankly, without concealing or keeping silent, and admitted his actions very directly.
"If I don't do that, when you return, all you'll see are skeletons, or even a pool of blood. Those strange beasts are the ones who eat people and gnaw on bones. It's a mistake to leave Reno Yu alone there."
Wen Rengui criticized Mu Xiaoxing with a dissatisfied tone, which made Mu Xiaoxing feel embarrassed and guilty.
Wen Rengui was not joking. Even the system said that those strange beasts were not easy to deal with. He left Reno Yu alone there and pushed him into the fire.
"Why are you helping me? We don't seem to be familiar with each other."
"Because... this isn't suitable to be told to you right now. Let's talk about it later. Lei Nuoyu, please pay attention. Lei Nuoyu's talents and abilities are not simple. I can't figure it out either."
