Chapter 7 The faceless student's tense mood suddenly broke.
The scenery is changing and distorting rapidly.
Li Ming bent over and squatted there, breathing rapidly. He looked up at the road in the distance, and Zhou Haoyu's figure was getting farther and farther away from him.
The dormitory leader runs so fast...
Li Ming thought that he was willing but unable to do so. He struggled to stand up and tried to keep up with the other person step by step.
The school's basketball court is some distance away from the playground, and because the university they attended has undergone two renovations, many facilities with similar functions were not built together.
Li Ming's mind was confused as he was thinking about the problem.
The junior was trapped in the playground, which means that he had been looking for his roommate in the direction of the cafeteria, and was preparing to cross the playground to meet them at the basketball court.
Li Ming could understand his idea, because he and everyone in his class did the same thing in their physical education classes in the first two years of college.
A group of college students often walked across the playground, talking and laughing, and walked through the small door behind the playground all the way to the cafeteria.
But why is there a problem now?
The most important thing about the Academy Dungeon is the rules. Following or violating the rules can often determine the strength of the monsters you will fight later. He secretly pondered the experience summarized in the forum and was completely confused:
What are the rules on the playground?
Li Ming was thinking and running. His body, which used to dislike exercise, had greatly hindered his ability to think. He felt that his head was shaking like a boiling kettle.
Just work a little harder and you'll be there around the corner.
Li Ming panted and looked up at the uphill road in front of him, his eyes desperate as if he was looking at the roof of the world towering into the clouds. However, no matter how difficult it was, he had to try to climb up. Li Ming used his hands and feet and struggled to climb up the wall.
So he once again fell into the trap of difficulty breathing.
I kind of understand why I'm a cannon fodder... It's not unreasonable to die at the beginning... Li Ming complained about his body inwardly while breathing.
He is not good at sports and does not like sports.
If I didn't know about the forum, I would have a high chance of dying right from the start. But how come these protagonist templates are so fast at running...
Li Ming bent down again and took a deep breath with difficulty.
The heartbeat was rapid and violent.
He forced himself to stay conscious and try to catch up with his companions who had long disappeared, but after turning the corner and finally being able to see the entire playground clearly, Li Ming still couldn't help but stand there in a daze.
“Why are there so many people…”
Standing at a corner of the hillside, Li Ming looked at the crowd that was about to occupy one-third of the playground with a confused expression, muttering. His brain had not yet recovered from the short-term lack of oxygen, and as the owner, he couldn't help but wonder if there was any activity today.
The old, familiar knowledge dominated his thoughts at this moment.
Then Li Ming's body suddenly froze. As his consciousness gradually cleared, he realized his own cognitive errors: Yes, now is not the time before the disaster.
The student who occupied one-third of the playground and was fighting against his companions was definitely not human.
Li Ming stood there with cold hands and feet.
Many students had already noticed his presence. They raised their heads one by one and looked at Li Ming at the same time. His pale and rough face was kneaded casually, like a piece of white paper without any facial features.
There was no noise, no disharmony, only the wailing and shouting of humans as the background.
[Derivative: Faceless Student]
[Disaster Sequence: D-113 assimilated, E-11 shared consciousness]
[Note: Students are the lowest class in the academy, and their transformation speed is the slowest. If they choose to obey, they will slowly lose their faces and names. But if they choose to resist...]
[You know the ending.]
Not far from his sight, Zhou Haoyu was sprinting forward alone. The monsters that were stacked up like sardines in a can around the center of the playground were dispersed and pushed down by him layer by layer.
The monsters that were pushed down stood up belatedly and joined the fight belatedly. Many monsters that noticed Li Ming's existence walked towards him slowly and twistedly.
They have no sound and no sense of pain.
Even if the twisted limbs fell to the ground, they would only make a rustling sound, like the sound of an hourglass collapsing.
What's going on?
Li Ming looked around in confusion. He didn't care much about the sudden information prompt that appeared in front of him or the faceless student who was slowly walking towards him.
He is already one step behind Zhou Haoyu, but he hasn't found his junior's position yet.
Where did my junior go?
The chaotic breathing, the impending danger, and the unknown text prompts repeatedly pulled Li Ming's spirit at this moment. He looked around with a tense expression.
In his field of vision, the twisted and weird faceless student was getting closer and closer to him.
Calm down.
Li Ming was sweating profusely when he saw this, and his right foot stepped back unconsciously. He tightly grasped the corner of his clothes with his fingers, and tried to comfort himself in a panic: Calm down, calm down...
There was still some time before the monster approached him, and he still had time to think about his situation.
Don't be too nervous, Li Ming.
Li Ming took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He observed the situation on the playground again, and the information points that he had previously ignored were now presented in front of him.
New monsters kept coming from other parts of the playground. But they didn't run towards him and Zhou Haoyu. They just rushed to the monster pile in the center of the playground and piled up a small hill with their bodies.
Only those monsters who had come into contact with Zhou Haoyu belatedly started to fight with Zhou Haoyu and walked towards him.
Why? Li Ming was confused. He inexplicably thought of the words that suddenly appeared in front of him just now, and the phrase describing the monster had a word "consciousness sharing".
Li Ming understood instantly.
He should not use human thinking, he should look at all the monsters in front of him as a whole.
They rushed to the center of the playground because their subjective consciousness drove them forward, and they walked towards Zhou Haoyu and themselves because their subjective consciousness no longer restricted their actions.
“Hmm!”
Li Ming hurriedly dodged the sudden attack.
The faceless student closest to Li Ming tilted his head and looked up at him. Although his legs were broken when he fell while walking up the slope, he still crawled to Li Ming's feet in a strange posture.
When Li Ming saw this, his whole body was covered with goosebumps.
He raised one foot high and stepped hard on the face of the faceless student.
The sticky and strange touch was transmitted to his nerve center through the soles of his shoes. Li Ming inexplicably felt that he was not stepping on a person, but on a muddy swamp.
A chill suddenly appeared on his face.
Li Ming hastily retracted his feet and took a few steps back. Then he subconsciously turned his head to look at the uphill road he came from. At the end of the uphill road, several pale faceless students were climbing up.
It seems to be called by the subjective consciousness.
Li Ming thought calmly to himself: He and Zhou Haoyu didn't encounter these monsters when they came here, so why did they suddenly appear now?
Before he had time to think deeply, he realized that he was surrounded by the faceless students who were rushing towards him.
Li Ming acted decisively and ran towards the gap in the encirclement.
He ran and jumped, using his body as a shield to push down the faceless students who were intentionally or unintentionally acting as obstacles in his way, and rushed towards Zhou Haoyu.
At this point he no longer needed to look for the location of his junior.
The junior was in the middle of the playground, at the bottom of the monster hill, right on Zhou Haoyu's path. The wailing sound he heard at first was so weak that he could no longer tell the location of the owner of the sound.
But there are clearly no rules on the playground.
The question that had arisen at the beginning of the pursuit reappeared in Li Ming's mind in the form of an answer. His rapid heartbeat also sounded in his chest again.
Why does this happen when there are no rules on the playground?
Li Ming gritted his teeth and knocked down a faceless student with his body, but unfortunately he was pulled by the monster and fell to the ground. The faceless students around him were surrounding him and approaching, and he stood up hastily.
He was about to run out, but suddenly found that his right leg was being held tightly by the monster he had knocked down at first.
The panic in his heart strangled Li Ming's consciousness.
Without even thinking about it, he instinctively kicked the monster with his right foot, again and again, not daring to stop until the monster's limbs were crushed to pieces.
So at the last moment when the encirclement was formed, Li Ming finally broke through the crisis.
Li Ming panted in fear, and was alert to the changes around him. He now understood why his junior said in the text message that he couldn't get out... He would be completely suppressed if he made a mistake...
It was hard for him to imagine how he and Zhou Haoyu would get out afterwards.
Li Ming looked towards Zhou Haoyu's position with an uneasy look. Zhou Haoyu had already gone deep into the encirclement. Behind him and in front of him were all monsters. He rushed around like a mad dog.
Now the main consciousness has not yet discovered the existence of the two of them... Now he can still run away by pulling Zhou Haoyu away... A dark thought suddenly popped up in Li Ming's head.
So are you just going to leave your junior here like this?
As Li Ming was running, he suddenly felt a huge sense of absurdity. He could no longer hear his junior's voice, nor could he see his junior's figure.
Everyone on the playground looked and dressed exactly the same, except for him and Zhou Haoyu!
They wear the same school uniforms, do the same things, and look the same. Who is he saving? Are the people he saved still human now?
"Zhou Haoyu! Zhou Haoyu can you hear me?!"
Li Ming, who was blocked and intercepted by the monster, suddenly shouted at the figure in front of him.
Zhou Haoyu did not respond or look back. Although Li Ming had anticipated the situation, he still broke into a sweat when he saw this scene.
The dormitory head has always been easily impulsive. Whether you describe him as passionate or angry, he is just passionate, so when Li Ming first learned that the dormitory head would join the army in the future, he was very pleased.
He looks like a social animal, but he is a warm-hearted person.
It's over. Now I can only rely on myself...
Li Ming even began to regret why he didn't bring Wei Zhehan with him. If it was Xiao Wei, Wei Zhehan would be able to make his way to Zhou Haoyu in no time and then cooperate with him...
But there's no use regretting it now.
Li Ming looked at the scene in front of him, gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and chose to continue rushing towards Zhou Haoyu. He was really afraid of death, and he was also really afraid that he would not live to see his sister...
But how can we just throw away the bond of three years?
Li Ming was filled with intense fear and anxiety as he moved towards the center of the encirclement. His tense heartstrings kept giving him warnings, and he inexplicably felt like a corpse sinking into the depths of the swamp.
Slowly, step by step, it disappeared into the quagmire.
This feeling made him feel sick, just like he recalled the years when he was bullied by his classmates in school. He had done nothing wrong, but because he didn't fit in, he was isolated...
In the end, he even had to ask his sister to help him.
He was really upset and regretted what he did at that time. As a brother, he should have protected his sister, but in the end, it was his sister who solved the problem for him...
Li Yixi is really amazing. She can single-handedly take on all the boys in the class. If possible, I really want to introduce her to my roommates...
In this way, there will be one more protagonist template among the pile of protagonist templates.
…
"Wait." Li Ming suddenly stopped where he was, muttering to himself, "Why didn't I think... didn't I think this would be a case of school bullying..."
The most important thing about the Academy is the rules, but there are other things that happen outside of the rules. Just like in a normal school pyramid, there will be internal disputes such as discrimination, isolation and confrontation within each class.
They are students, and they are also students.
So there are no rules on the playground, but junior students can still encounter this situation.
Because school bullying itself has no rules. They can bully younger students just because they cross the playground, or they can target younger students just because they pass by the playground.
He cut off the connection between the school and the college copy so much that he forgot that he was in a college.
He has to tell Zhou Haoyu about this!
He has to tell Zhou Haoyu that school bullying must be fought back with school bullying methods!
Li Ming walked forward breathlessly.
He was getting closer and closer to Zhou Haoyu. He was about to touch Zhou Haoyu's back. Unfortunately, Li Ming's brain had been working at high speed all the way and had not gotten a rest. His mind was now full of confusion:
Report it? Reporting bullying may not be helpful...
How about reporting a playground brawl?
Li Ming patted Zhou Haoyu's back weakly and murmured, "Dormitory Head, you ran too fast, but luckily you are not moving now, otherwise..."
But why did it suddenly stop moving?
Li Ming's mind suddenly cleared up for a moment. He looked around and suddenly realized that he had arrived at the center of the playground, which was the so-called monster pile.
Every word spoken here, every breath taken, may be noticed by the faceless students' subjective consciousness.
Li Ming looked back at Zhou Haoyu nervously. Zhou Haoyu's facial features were still sharp and clear.
He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then he noticed that something was wrong with Zhou Haoyu.
At this moment, Zhou Haoyu still didn't see Li Ming's existence. His fingernails were covered with pale debris from the monster's face and body, and he was shouting and moving with all his might.
He wanted to drive the monster away from here, and also wanted to save someone from here.
But where is that someone?
Li Ming was confused and puzzled.
So he bent over and looked past Zhou Haoyu in front of him.
The taut string suddenly broke at this moment.
Li Ming heard the boy at the bottom of the monster pile, who had been squeezed so hard that his face could not be seen, crying weakly:
"Mom, Mom, it hurts so much..."
