"Smack!"
Enpangci collapsed weakly onto the floor of the infirmary, his face pale except for a bright red ring around his mouth.
[The Seven Mysteries: The Human Model in the Infirmary] Has Been Discovered
Side quest completed (1/7)
The game system's mechanical electronic voice sounded, but those who should have heard it were clearly no longer able to grasp its specific meaning.
Lying on the ground, Enpangci wore an unusually contented expression, the kind that only appears after a full meal.
But instead of a slightly swollen abdomen, her body had sunken in, revealing her emaciated frame.
The somewhat emaciated body lay motionless on the ground, its internal organs removed.
"I'm full, but I still feel so empty inside..."
Having lost all ability to think, Empongci now seemed to be left with only childlike instincts.
His mouth was still dripping with saliva, as if he still wanted to eat.
On the anatomical model in the health room.
The internal organs and tissues that had been mysteriously devoured by Enpongci have now strangely reappeared on the human model.
Like a clock flipping through a page, it jumped back to the previous moment, as if everything was perfectly fine.
It was as if steaming heat was rising from the folded structure of the brain.
The red heart seemed to be beating just a moment ago.
The reddish-brown organs still seemed to have a touch of pinkish flesh.
The organs that had disappeared from the human model reappeared, seemingly with a touch of "freshness".
A brand new human model has been created once again.
The immovable anatomical model stands in the infirmary, except for the individual organ models which can be removed at will.
Waiting for the next student to enter, we play an educational and fun game with him to learn about human anatomy.
...
"Then you're the one who lost today."
"Smack!"
Kong Hejing was so frightened by Carol's abrupt and strange words that her hands trembled, and all the cards in her hand fell to the ground.
The gases that were originally flowing in the air seemed to solidify into a tangible form at this moment.
Kong Hejing's body, which had been gradually relaxing, suddenly tensed up again.
The eerie atmosphere had always been there, but it had been numbed by their relaxed gaming atmosphere earlier.
"Carol, what does this mean?"
But before Carol could answer, her teacher, Elaine, spoke up.
"Carol, you're scaring your classmates again!"
Carol stuck out her tongue and gave a soft hum, not wanting to hear Elaine's lecture, but still changed her tune.
"It doesn't mean anything special, it just means that you lost the most times today, sister."
"Is...is that so? I see."
Kong Hejing forced a smile.
The relaxed and enjoyable gaming atmosphere seemed to vanish completely at that moment, and the room fell silent once more.
"Alright, it's almost noon now. Let's all pack up and head to the cafeteria for lunch!"
She tore off the small white paper strip stuck to her face.
Gu Xinghe watched as Kong Hejing mechanically followed orders absentmindedly, joining the others in putting the tables and chairs back in their places.
The other party's mental and rational state at this moment does not seem to be very good.
The brief period of good spirits that had occurred after the contaminated ear was bitten off was clearly no longer present.
They went down the stairs on the other side of the building where they entered the teaching building.
After bypassing the playground, the group of ten walked along a small slope on their way to the cafeteria.
No one seemed to have any idea about the player who was still in the infirmary.
As Gu Xinghe walked along the road, he looked up at the clock tower in the distance. It was almost midnight.
Carol skipped and hopped all the way, her dress billowing gracefully with her movements.
Even Rekaya, who usually has an inscrutable expression, showed a faint smile.
Similarly, apart from Kong Hejing, who was repeatedly frightened by Carol and still appeared distraught, there was no one else.
The other two new players also felt a bit hungry because of the food cards they had just seen.
However, Gu Xinghe noticed that Tao Changyi, Xiao Ruiming, and Liang Yue all had solemn expressions on their faces.
...
"Uncle Camo, let's eat in the cafeteria!"
The person speaking to Carol was a middle-aged man who wore a white chef's uniform, held a round rice spoon, and looked kind and honest.
"Welcome! New students have arrived at school again. I'm so happy to see new faces!"
Unlike typical school cafeterias, the cafeteria at Shuguang Boarding School has a relatively small student population.
There are no extra dishes to choose from; only three fixed dishes are served on the cafeteria tables.
A spoonful of rice, a spoonful of vegetable salad, and a spoonful of tomato and bean stew.
And a generous spoonful of stewed meat.
There are no cafeteria aunties with shaky hands, nor are there any fake movements like sowing seeds, where how much meat lands on the plate is entirely up to chance.
The only canteen chef, whom Carol calls Uncle Camo, makes sure every movement when serving food is firmly placed on the plate.
Seeing the way the other party was serving food as if they were fighting, Gu Xinghe felt a little scared.
At this moment, Camo was shaking all the meat off his spoon onto Tao Changyi's rice plate.
As he made that solid "pouring" motion, Gu Xinghe saw Tao Changyi, who was holding the food plate, tremble involuntarily.
"Is that enough?"
"That's enough, that's enough."
