Chapter 8 School Currency Who Pays?
Action is faster than thinking.
When Li Ming reacted, he found that all the people and monsters on the playground had stopped what they were doing and looked up at him. The air around them seemed to fall into a silent stalemate for a moment.
Li Ming swallowed secretly.
He looked around and found that whether it was the faceless student who was about to launch a sneak attack behind him, or the faceless students who were about to attack him in front of him and around him, they were all looking at him with that distorted, weird, featureless face.
A sticky, pale liquid kept dripping from their faces, like lime cement smudges.
Li Ming couldn't describe how he felt right now.
He just felt from the bottom of his heart that he seemed to be watched and observed by some huge, unknowable consciousness.
He should be the main consciousness of the faceless student. Now as long as I can convince him, the problem will be over, but if I can't convince him...
None of the three college students present could leave the playground.
Li Ming's heart was pounding.
He pretended to be calm and glanced at Zhou Haoyu who had just fallen to the ground. The dormitory head looked obviously surprised, as if he discovered for the first time that Li Ming was behind him, and as if he suddenly realized that he was not alone.
Li Ming: ...Uh.
Anyway, no matter how you interpret it, the fact is that you were not aware of his existence.
Li Ming sighed deeply in his heart, but at this moment he finally understood the meaning of the word "assimilation" used in the information prompt that just appeared to describe the faceless student.
Consciousness assimilates, and even the spirit and body are assimilated into becoming part of oneself.
Just as he felt suffocated like a quagmire after entering the encirclement, Zhou Haoyu probably lost his basic judgment because of this.
Li Ming turned his gaze back to the pile of monsters in front of him.
The faceless student closest to him was stretching his neck, trying to get closer to him and study him. An unknown abnormality like a vortex appeared on his cheek, and he stretched out his thin and long arm to touch Li Ming's cheek.
"I have called the police."
A second before the sharp and pale nails were about to touch his eyes, Li Ming coldly said the words he had once shouted.
The monster's sharp nails suddenly stopped stiffly on the tip of Li Ming's nose.
The temperature around was suddenly freezing cold.
The monsters behind him, driven by their subjective consciousness, suddenly stood up slowly and quietly. The next attack would no longer be a simple beating, but a premeditated encirclement.
In this depressing atmosphere, Li Ming suddenly said: "I am friends with the student you are bullying."
"It takes the school security up to half an hour to respond to the alarm. I can hold out for this half an hour, and then they will check the surveillance cameras and catch you all in one fell swoop when they arrive at the scene. But we can stop now."
He said in a powerful voice:
"If you stop bullying, I will cancel the call to the police."
Silence enveloped the entire playground. If the other party was not a monster with a shared consciousness, they would probably be looking at each other in bewilderment, not knowing what to do next.
However, now Li Ming only saw a group of featureless faces standing in front of him, frozen and silent.
So he said calmly:
"We, like you, don't want to attract the attention of school leaders."
The moment these words were spoken, the monster, which had just kept its sharp nails on the tip of Li Ming's nose, suddenly stretched its neck and took a close look at Li Ming.
A pungent, sickening smell filled Li Ming's nose.
Li Ming suppressed his discomfort and frowned as he tolerated the other party's observation of him.
Then the monster retracted its winding arms. Its appearance gradually returned to being exactly the same as the faceless students around it, and then all the faceless students began to leave the playground in an organized and orderly manner.
They came silently and left silently.
When the last faceless student disappeared on the road at the end of the playground, Li Ming finally couldn't help but fell to the ground. He was pale, holding his head with both hands, curled up into a ball and muttered:
"I'm really scared to death..."
Why did he just shout out in such a hot-headed manner!
Li Ming was extremely panicked at the time, but now he forced himself to stay calm and walked silently towards his junior who had not moved yet.
"Are you okay?" Li Ming patted his junior's shoulder gently.
At this time, the junior student was lying face down, and he looked half dead. Li Ming was at a loss for words, and he still remembered the twisted and weird face he saw a second ago.
Did he save his junior or not?
As this thought emerged, Li Ming's mind instantly flashed through thousands of images of himself trying to help his junior up, but being choked by sharp, pale nails.
The remaining muddy feeling from the subjective consciousness had not even dissipated from his heart at this moment.
He is really afraid of death.
Li Ming thought in self-abandonment.
Seeing this, Zhou Haoyu suddenly walked over Li Ming who was frozen in place, walked to his junior and squatted down, and gently called out: "He Rui, can you speak now?"
"Yes...I think I can..."
The figure on the ground suddenly made a strange gurgling sound, followed by a dissonant and scattered speech that was heard by the two people present: "Strange... I feel like my voice is very wrong..."
He tried hard to straighten himself up, but for unknown reasons his body shook uncontrollably.
Zhou Haoyu quickly helped the other person up.
Then, the two people at the scene took a deep breath at the same time when they saw the face of their junior.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
The junior's voice was filled with panic. He subconsciously and frantically reached out to touch his face. His eyes, nose, and mouth were still there, but why did the seniors look at him with such a stunned expression...
He Rui's heart was in a mess, but as he touched it again and again, even he could clearly feel that something was wrong.
“Why aren’t my eyes above my nose?”
His hands suddenly froze in the air, and he murmured in disbelief.
After hearing this, Li Ming remained silent.
In his field of vision, the facial features of the junior student who was sitting on the playground in front of him were casually embedded in the blank face like randomly pieced together building blocks.
The eyes are not eyes, the mouth is not a mouth...
He didn't look like a normal person, but more like the monster they had just faced.
"Let's go to the infirmary."
Before the panic could escalate further, Li Ming suddenly spoke up.
The two people present raised their heads and looked at him, and all four of them were surprised. So Li Ming had to repeat: "Go to the infirmary and ask if they can handle it first."
If you ask Li Ming at this time, "Can the infirmary really solve the problem?", Li Ming definitely cannot give a clear answer. He simply feels that if the atmosphere becomes tense, something he doesn't want to see will happen.
That's why he pointed in a direction in a hurry.
Fortunately, no one asked this question, but unfortunately, even Li Ming himself was not confident about it.
But on the way to the infirmary, when Li Ming rethought the known rules of the academy, he really hoped that his idea might be right.
[Derivative: Multi-Handed School Doctor]
[Disaster sequence: D-122 strong, F-11 restricted movement, E-112 deformed]
[Note: Students can only see the school doctors in the school clinic. They are wearing white coats, and countless arms are twisted into the shape of needles and scalpels. Maybe this is the so-called cost reduction and efficiency increase of the school. After all, the school no longer needs to buy medical equipment. At most, it only needs to change the school doctor (smile). ]
[Shh, don't be afraid. If a student is sick, the school doctor will usually provide help to the best of their ability, but if you are too sick...]
【They will just send you back to die (Amen).】
The moment the familiar yet unfamiliar text prompt appeared in front of Li Ming's eyes, Li Ming's spirit was relieved and tense at the same time.
"Wait, the school doctor is good!"
Li Ming didn't even have time to organize his words before he reached out and grabbed the arm of his junior who was about to run away, and spoke hurriedly.
Zhou Haoyu on the side looked at Li Ming silently.
His eyes seemed to be examining Li Ming's behavior, and also as if he was wondering why his roommate suddenly knew so much.
Li Ming turned his eyes away guiltily.
He himself didn't know how to explain his current situation, because even he didn't understand what the text prompts that appeared in front of him again and again meant.
Is it a function that comes with the forum? Or is it some other superpower?
The three people fell into speechless silence at this time.
“Who is injured?”
The school doctor with countless mechanical arms saw three students who were still waiting to come in and slowly opened his mouth. His voice was hoarse and mixed with the noise that only old TV stations could make.
Harsh and alarming.
The chandelier in the infirmary was flickering at this moment, and the light and shadow in the room flickered. The back of the huge monster composed of syringes, scalpels and other medical equipment was illuminated intermittently on the dusty wall.
No wonder the junior wanted to run away at the first moment...
Li Ming sighed absentmindedly:
This situation was even more terrifying than the escape room game that their roommates had played together.
So he cleared his throat, walked into the infirmary first and said to the school doctor: "Teacher, my friend is injured. Can you take a look at him now?"
After hearing this, the school doctor looked at the human in front of him in surprise.
His huge body almost overflowed from the small consulting table, giving people a very intimidating feeling.
Li Ming stood there indifferently, allowing the other party to observe him. This incident had just happened once on the playground, so he had nothing to worry about now.
But while the school doctor was looking at him, Li Ming was also secretly looking at him.
As soon as he heard the first sentence spoken by the school doctor, he realized that the other party's IQ should be higher than the disasters he had encountered before.
"Who is the patient?"
After confirming that the other person was not his patient, the school doctor quickly lost interest and returned to an indifferent expression.
Li Ming subconsciously looked back towards the door.
The junior student was still hesitating, his hands shaking as he clutched the corner of his clothes tightly, his expression terrified like a first-time skydiver stuck on a cliff.
"It's okay, it will be fine soon."
Li Ming first glanced at Zhou Haoyu, who was silent the whole time, and then smiled wryly to comfort him. He was not good at talking to strangers, but Zhou Haoyu, who was more suitable for this role than him, suddenly went on strike.
"What a shame, he almost didn't need to be saved."
The school doctor glanced lazily at the patient standing in front of him and said with regret. As soon as he said this, the junior student was immediately excited like a cat with its fur standing on end.
"Hahaha……"
Li Ming laughed dryly while suppressing his junior's further attempts to escape. The three of them finally felt relieved at the same time.
Zhou Haoyu let out a long sigh of relief.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that he had been so nervous that he couldn't speak all the way.
He is such a bad senior...
Zhou Haoyu cursed himself inwardly for his poor performance, but the school doctor's next words suddenly stopped him from thinking further:
"Who of you will pay?"
Pay? What? What would the monsters in Monster School use as a universal currency? Zhou Haoyu and his junior looked at each other with a bad feeling.
Li Ming on the side raised his hand and asked, "Can I use my meal card?"
"all right."
The other two people: ...Uh.
It turns out this is possible.
