19 Menggui High School (19)
I'll be with you.
Qin Fu'an pushed open the iron mesh cover above his head, which was also constantly shedding rust, and stretched his upper body out with his arms. The howling cold wind instantly hit his face, and his slightly numb mind suddenly cleared up in the cold wind.
The rooftop was empty; there was no one there, nor any dangerous or eerie creatures.
“It’s safe, come on up.” Qin Fu’an went up first, then bent down and stretched out his intact arm to Xie Yunhuai on the long ladder.
Xie Yunhuai's palms were as cold as the winter frost; anyone who gently squeezed them could tell he wasn't a living person.
But Qin Fu'an showed no sign of anything amiss. After easily pulling the slender boy up, he used his toes to hook the fairly thick iron net and covered the exit again.
The two found a relatively sheltered spot to sit down, finally able to relax their tense nerves a little.
Xie Yunhuai's gaze fell on Qin Fu'an's injured arm.
Even in the darkness, it was clear that blood had already stained large patches of red on the blue and white school uniforms.
"Hold out your hand." He frowned as he spoke, taking off his school uniform.
Qin Fu'an, unusually, refrained from saying anything that would spoil the mood or show off. Instead, he extended his left arm as instructed, looking down at the boy struggling to tear at the thin inner fabric of his body.
The reason for not using his school uniform was probably because they wanted to bandage him with a strip of cloth to stop the bleeding. They were afraid that if he lived until tomorrow, he might be judged as not dressed appropriately in any kind of inspection.
Qin Fu'an did not interrupt Xie Yunhuai's actions. Leaning against the cold wall behind him, he watched quietly with a smile as the boy and the dark, soft tentacles inside him were all clumsily and earnestly pulling at his clothes.
Finally, with a "rip," Xie Yunhuai tore off a long, irregular strip of fabric from the sturdy lining.
He held the strip of cloth, half-squatting in front of Qin Fu'an, his slender fingers moving somewhat clumsily, afraid of hurting Qin Fu'an with too much force, and afraid of not stopping the bleeding if he was too gentle.
Having never had any experience bandaging or treating wounds in his previous life, Qin Fu'an felt as if he were an extremely difficult math problem when it was just a simple bandaging.
"Let me do it." He reached out and took the two ends of the cloth strip that Xie Yunhuai had loosely tied. He held one end in his right hand and bit the other end with his teeth. Then, as Xie Yunhuai subconsciously closed his eyes, he pulled hard and quickly tied a knot with a cold expression.
Xie Yunhuai silently put his school uniform back on. The cold wind, carrying the screams that echoed throughout the campus, blew through his hair. He sat on the rooftop with his knees drawn up to his chest, a sense of bewilderment hidden in his quiet demeanor.
If no creature comes after me tonight, can I really live to see tomorrow?
But his rational mind kept reminding him: Wake up, this exam has only just begun.
In this eerie campus, there is never a truly safe place to hide.
Qin Fu'an understood this as well. He looked up at the night sky that seemed within reach, his light green eyes reflecting a huge, constantly beating, blood-red countdown.
1:52:27
Only a few minutes have passed since the beginning.
-
Qin Fu'an stood on the edge of the rooftop, trying to conceal himself as much as possible while observing the situation below.
From above, everything below was exceptionally clear.
Some of the fleeing students hid in the flower bushes, while others hid in the trees. But most of them simply scattered and fled as the "sports teaching aids" chased them because they couldn't find a good hiding place.
At the beginning, there weren't many "sports teaching aids." Apart from the dead players and Teacher Zhang, there were only the students who were late for the morning exercise assembly and the teacher who was eaten after the class points were deducted.
This is actually quite easy to distinguish, because the "sports teaching aids" transformed from students are just ordinary monsters that move relatively fast, while the teachers each have their own skills and are much faster than ordinary monsters.
However, as time went by, more and more students were turned into "sports teaching aids".
Although the rule states that the device will automatically transform into a "sports teaching aid" after being bitten three times, many students lose their composure when fleeing in a panic, resulting in a visible increase in the number of "sports teaching aids" below.
"At this rate, those who haven't found a good hiding place will soon become teaching tools." Xie Yunhuai stood next to Qin Fu'an, taking in the scene below as well.
Qin Fu'an's arm had not been completely stopped from bleeding, and he knew very well that the two of them could not continue to sit here and wait to die.
Therefore, after confirming that the noise in the teaching building was gradually decreasing, he immediately decided to leave temporarily to find weapons to fight these monsters and the bandages and other items he had obtained from Nan Zhu that morning.
"I'll go with you." Xie Yunhuai followed behind Qin Fu'an.
Qin Fu'an paused slightly as he turned around. The boy's pale face was not clearly visible in the darkness, but he could still glean from the subtle communication between the tentacles that Xie Yunhuai was terrified of the night.
“This is a place we worked so hard to secure. If someone else takes it from us, we’ll be chased and bitten just like those students down here.”
Qin Fu'an gazed into Xie Yunhuai's clear and calm eyes, then suddenly felt an urge to rub his little classmate's head and reassure him, "Don't be afraid, I'll be back soon."
It wasn't until Qin Fu'an's figure disappeared that Xie Yunhuai, who had been standing there in a daze, finally came to his senses.
His brow furrowed tightly, and his hand unconsciously rose slightly, only to suddenly freeze halfway through.
"...Who's afraid?" He pursed his lips in annoyance, secretly deciding that if Qin Fu'an dared to lay a hand on him again, he would give him a discount first!
But in the air, which he couldn't see with his naked eye, many soft black tentacles were curiously waving, crowding together and vying to touch the top of his head, wanting to see what it felt like.
While Xie Yunhuai was on high alert guarding the only entrance to the rooftop, Qin Fu'an moved swiftly through the teaching building, just like a gust of wind.
After leaping down the winding stair railing, Qin Fu'an unsurprisingly bumped into Teacher Zhang, whom he had "eliminated."
The other party had no head, but in the brief stalemate of a second, an inexplicable atmosphere of "enemies meeting each other with intense hatred" instantly arose.
Teacher Zhang's aura instantly increased by at least two times, and his massive body swelled up again, rolling rapidly toward Qin Fu'an like a ball.
Faced with the overwhelming force of the enemy, Qin Fu'an had only two options: retreat upwards and return the way he came, or flee downwards.
Perhaps this headless body of Teacher Zhang was thinking the same thing, so it didn't slow down at all. Its thick, round hands and feet were spread wide, and it looked like it was about to completely trap Qin Fu'an in the corner.
However, the next second, it was kicked away by the same person in the same manner.
A particularly dull "thud" rang out, and Teacher Zhang, round as a ball of flesh, suddenly crashed onto the corridor. Qin Fu'an felt the ground beneath his feet tremble.
Because of the changes in his body shape and weight, Teacher Zhang wasn't actually kicked very far, but he was just too round... While struggling to stand up, Qin Fu'an mischievously grabbed a stool from the next class and placed it next to him, successfully trapping him completely in the corridor, unable to move no matter how much he struggled.
"Teacher Zhang, did you see that my reminder this morning was correct?" Qin Fu'an smiled as he jumped onto the balcony. After stepping over the spherical obstacle, he turned around and earnestly advised, "Being overweight is really dangerous. Even if you become a ghost, you still need to maintain a healthy body."
"We were teacher and student, so if the strange creature can have a next life, I wish you can eat as much as you want without gaining weight."
After saying that, Qin Fu'an's smile faded slightly, and he casually stuck a compass he had taken from a classmate's desk into Teacher Zhang's swollen body.
After a moment, pull it out again.
The next second, amidst Teacher Zhang's increasingly snorting noises, a line of green text appeared right in front of Qin Fu'an's eyes: Congratulations to the player for successfully killing "Advanced Sports Teaching Aid" x1, gaining +1 credit.
Seeing this, Qin Fu'an did not lose himself in the praise from the comments, but instead continued walking into the classroom.
After taking all the props from his desk, Qin Fu'an's eyes scanned the classroom. Finally, amidst the bewildered gazes of the students hiding, he unscrewed a few table legs and carried them in his hand.
But just as he was about to leave the classroom, he discovered someone who shouldn't have been there.
"I was just waiting for you." Nan Zhu stood at the classroom door, her tone still calm and gentle: "I must thank you for helping to deal with that monster."
Qin Fu'an looked up and first saw her blood-stained school uniform and the "Invigilator" sign hanging on it.

Anzai: Waaaaa, wife, I've been slept with by that bastard!
Yunzai: ... (Trying hard to brush away the overly active tentacles on the top of its head)
