Upon seeing He Xueqing's name, Cen Yu stopped flipping through the pages. The teacher in front of him had already lost his reaction, as if he had lost his purpose as a puppet the moment the name of the dungeon owner appeared.
"Why."
Cen Yu turned around and saw Scarface lurking suspiciously at the office door.
“Everyone in the classroom just stopped moving,” Scarface said as he walked in. “I was wondering if you’d done something here, so I came to check.”
Seeing that Teacher Lin didn't move, he immediately waved his hand in front of her—
The other party still showed no sign of moving.
“The owner of the copy is He Xueqing.” Cen Yu pointed to the name on the exam paper. Seeing that Scarface still didn’t quite understand what he meant, Cen Yu added, “That is, He Yuxing. He is now possessed by the owner of the copy.”
"He's quite particular," Scarface muttered. "He even specifically chose someone from the same clan to possess the body."
As he spoke, he took the test paper from Cen Yu's hand and, sure enough, saw He Xueqing's name... He casually flipped through a few more pages and found Cen Yu's name again. Scarface didn't pay any attention, placed the test paper on Teacher Lin's desk, and then asked, "What do we do next?"
To be honest, Cen Yu was a little unsure.
"Did you kill He Xueqing?" Scarface asked.
Cen Yu didn't say anything, but finally he said to Scarface, "I'll go check the classroom."
...
In the classroom, all the NPCs were silent, except for He Yuxing, who was still sitting there flipping through his books.
When Cen Yu went over and sat down, he asked him, just like before, how his conversation with Teacher Lin had gone.
Cen Yu twirled the pen in his hand. He felt that the adventurers who had entered the dungeon earlier should have realized that the dungeon's master was possessing someone, yet they still failed...
It seems the dungeon owner didn't give them a way out at all.
"Do you want to kill me?" He Yuxing suddenly asked.
Cen Yu turned to look at He Yuxing, or rather, the owner of this instance.
"Did you choose He Yuxing because you share the same surname?" Cen Yu asked casually.
“No,” He Xueqing said.
He looked at Cen Yu beside him and asked, "Why don't you guess the truth behind this instance?"
"If you guessed correctly, I'll let you out."
He said to Cen Yu, "Of course, only you can go out."
The truth behind the entire instance isn't too hard to guess, especially when combined with the apocalyptic news in the cafeteria and the classmates' discussion about He Xueqing.
"...Your ability is to foresee the future?" Cen Yu asked.
After the apocalypse, many people found that their bodies had undergone some changes, and the lucky ones developed some special abilities. Cen Yu guessed that He Xueqing's abilities probably appeared in the early stages of the apocalypse.
He can foresee the future, or rather, all his prophecies will come true.
The copy of Aoyama Middle School is divided into two periods.
The safe phase is the period before He Xueqing enters Qingshan Middle School and before the apocalypse arrives. Each time a player enters the instance, they experience 7 days of these 3 years.
After countless seven-day periods, He Xueqing's time in the instance finally arrived at the week before the apocalypse.
The instance has officially entered a dangerous phase.
During the day, it's a normal campus, with almost no danger except for some untouchable flags. At night, it transforms into a post-apocalyptic campus, constantly repeating the post-apocalyptic scenes.
As the owner of the instance, He Xueqing will randomly possess one of the players who enter the instance.
He Xueqing looked at Cen Yu and said, "The apocalypse came suddenly."
"Everyone has turned into a monster."
Cen Yu noticed the other person's statement, "You mean that at the moment the apocalypse came, everyone in Qingshan Middle School turned into monsters?"
"More or less," He Xueqing said. "The number of those who turned into monsters is greater than the number who didn't."
Cen Yu still felt something was off—
The creation of a copy is always due to the strong emotions of the copy owner; at the moment the copy is created, the copy owner is essentially "dead."
So Cen Yu didn't understand. Could it be that He Xueqing died the moment most of the people in the school turned into monsters on the day the apocalypse came?
Because of his overwhelming resentment, he created the Qingshan Middle School instance, constantly reliving the days before his death.
“…I still don’t feel right,” Cen Yu said. “You clearly knew the end of the world was coming, and you even predicted that your classmates would die, so why did you still become the master of the dungeon?”
"You could have avoided these things."
Even though Qingshan Middle School is a boarding school, students can only go home once a month.
Since He Xueqing knew when the end of the world would come, it was impossible for her not to avoid this accident.
He Xueqing sat in her seat, stroking her textbook. "What do you think caused the dungeons to be formed?"
"Unwilling to accept it?" Cen Yu guessed, "Does he not want to die?"
"Or perhaps they want to get revenge on those people."
“No,” He Xueqing said, “I’m just waiting.”
"Waiting for what?" Cen Yu wondered. He knew that He Xueqing wouldn't tell him the answer since she wasn't speaking.
But then, a brilliant idea flashed into his mind!
He looked at He Yuxing, who was now possessed by He Xueqing... He understood, He Xueqing must be waiting for the protagonist of the novel!
In the later part of the original work, He Yuxing also went to this instance and it seems that he successfully obtained the key item in the instance.
They share the same surname... they might even be related.
The more Cen Yu thought about it, the more he felt he had discovered the truth.
...
Scarface was bored in the office when he noticed his class's test papers on Teacher Lin's desk.
He picked it up and flipped through it, only to find that the exam paper was completely blank, and his name was not on it.
