Chapter 338 Regret
"What about Corey? Did Corey come to the academy?"
“No.”
"Oh..." Mu Qingxin lowered her head and turned on the light brain to contact Korra, but still no one answered, so she had to continue sending messages.
Seventh-level literary star Q101 planet
At this moment, in a secret basement, two people were curled up and hugging each other tightly.
"Buzz...buzz..."
The light brain on one of the people's wrist vibrated, then stopped, and then vibrated again before completely stopping without any movement.
“Ahem…”
Suddenly, one of them started to cough weakly. The other woke up immediately. Seeing the person in his arms coughing weakly, he patted her head gently, hugged her tightly, and said softly, "It's okay, it's okay, it will be okay..."
"Thomas..."
"Yes, I'm here!"
These two people were Cora and Thomas, whom Mu Qingxin and the others were worried about. No one knew what they had been through. At this moment, they were in a mess, with wounds of varying sizes on their bodies.
"I'm sorry..." Korra said weakly with her eyes closed, "If I had listened to you and not come back...it would have been fine..."
"It's okay, it's okay... Don't say sorry to me..." Thomas hugged Cora tightly, looking down at her skin that had turned light green. His own exposed skin was the same green.
Seeing this, Thomas kissed Korra's forehead and whispered, "We are both lucky. We have lived for five more years. Maybe we can live even longer. I'm still waiting for us to join the team together after we become adults and... hum~" As Thomas spoke, he suddenly groaned and his body twitched violently. But even so, he did not let go of Korra's hand.
Cora opened her eyes with difficulty and looked at Thomas worriedly, "Thomas, what's wrong with you? Are you okay? I'll find someone to rescue us. Xinxin, it must have been Xinxin who sent the message just now. I'll contact her..."
As Cora spoke, she raised her arm with force. If you look closely, you can see that the arm of Cora and Thomas wearing the light brain has been dislocated, and it hurts so much that they move it.
Cora endured the severe pain and moved her other arm with difficulty. When she was about to touch the light brain, green flesh suddenly seeped out from her wrist and tightly wrapped around the light brain, preventing her from touching it.
"Ah! Damn it, what the hell are you!!!" Cora pulled the disgusting green thing wrapped around the light brain like crazy, but she couldn't pull it off. Instead, every time she pulled it, her body felt like it was being cut by a knife.
"Puff~"
Cora spat out a mouthful of blood in pain, and finally collapsed helplessly, tears streaming silently. Looking at Thomas, who was constantly convulsing and struggling, trying his best to endure the pain, Cora felt extremely upset, regretful, and self-blaming. If she had listened to Thomas and not returned, she wouldn't have encountered this kind of thing. Or, if she had returned on her own, Thomas wouldn't have been implicated...

Capital Star, Art Department Dormitory
Mu Qingxin and her companions arrived at the dormitory. When they passed by the lobby on the first floor, they greeted Jim and went upstairs.
"Why don't I meet other people every time I come to your dormitory building?" Darren asked, looking at the empty surroundings.
Mu Qingxin, Dongfang Lingshui and Huanlan looked at him and shook their heads in unison, "Don't even mention you guys. We live here all day and it's hard for us to run into other seniors." If someone didn't know, they would have thought that there were only three of them living in this dormitory building.
"Why? Don't they go out? Don't they go to class?" Wans asked, curiosity aroused.
Mu Qingxin and the other two shook their heads. "We asked Jim out of curiosity before, and he said that art students can apply to go out for training in advance, so a few of them have already gone out for training. Their remaining classes are on different schedules than ours, so they haven't met us before."
As they were talking, Mu Qingxin and the others arrived at the dormitory. They entered the dormitory together, and Wangs and the others took the snacks on the table and started eating without any hesitation.
"Your dorm is truly luxurious! Not only is there plenty of space, but there's also food!"
"Yeah, it's so enjoyable to live here!"
“It’s much, much better than our living conditions!”
"If I had known it was so good, I should have applied directly to the art department!"
…
Several older boys were lying on the sofa, enjoying themselves while eating snacks and discussing.
Because Mu Qingxin was there, she would make some snacks in the space when she had nothing to do and put them directly on the table. The three of them had no shortage of snacks, so while Wangs and the others ate, Dongfang Ling and Shui Huanlan didn't feel bad because they still had a lot in their space buttons.
"Xinxin, what are we eating tonight?" Locke looked at Mu Qingxin expectantly.
Mu Qingxin shook her head. "I didn't call you here to eat. I have something to tell you."
"Ah?" Wangs and others looked at Mu Qingxin disappointedly.
Myron's expression tightened, "Xinxin, is this about that?"
When the others heard this, they stopped lazily and sat up straight to look at Mu Qingxin.
Mu Qingxin nodded. "I told you all before, everyone should go to school with a normal attitude and stop investigating those things because someone has already taken over the investigation. We should just focus on the class. It's still the same now, but today I met Peter."
"Pete?" Everyone looked at Mu Qingxin in confusion, "Does Pete have anything to do with that?"
"Ah, could it be that Pete is also..." Dongfang Ling guessed.
Mu Qingxin looked at everyone and nodded, "Yes."
"Xinxin, are you hurt?" Several people looked at Mu Qingxin worriedly, and at the same time a little nervous. They all worried that she was also possessed by that thing.
Mu Qingxin looked at everyone's eyes and thought they were just worried about her, so she shook her head and said, "No, it's just that Pete died, he..." Mu Qingxin told them what happened this afternoon.
“…”
After Mu Qingxin finished speaking, everyone fell silent, their faces filled with horror and disbelief.
"What the hell is that thing!" Wang Si scratched his head in annoyance.
"I don't know, but I think we will know soon. I tell you so that everyone can be mentally prepared. When encountering danger, let go of the fire first, and then escape quickly..." Mu Qingxin told everyone about the weakness of the creature she discovered this afternoon. Of course, fear of fire might be just a little bit, and the creature must not be that weak. She just hoped that when everyone encountered danger, they could react in time to buy time to escape.
After hearing what Mu Qingxin said, everyone no longer had the heart to chase Mu Qingxin to cook, and they all left in a hurry, probably going back to tell their families what happened today.
