Chapter 192 Entering A Middle School
The system chuckled coldly, thinking to itself, "What do you know? This was all forced upon us by someone."
However, the system didn't say that.
It glanced in the direction Ansel and the small boat had gone.
Actually, there's another thing it didn't mention: Ning Wanwan's guess that Ansel led the small boat away is indeed somewhat related to what happened in A.
Today, very important changes are taking place in A.
This change brought a sense of threat and urgency to both Ansel and Xiaozhou.
So the reason why Ansel was able to lure the small boat away so easily was because both non-humans had the same goal.
That is, kill the opponent and obtain greater power!
Only by possessing greater power can we be more certain of bringing those we wish to protect under our wings during the ensuing bloodshed.
However, there's no need to tell the girl this.
Ning Wanwan had no idea that this was related to her.
She was looking down, seemingly lost in thought. After a few minutes, she suddenly stood up, picked up a backpack, and stuffed some items inside.
Then, he left a note for Xiaozhou, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and stepped out of the house.
system:【】
What are you going to do?
"Isn't it obvious enough?" Ning Wanwan blinked, somewhat confused. "I want to go to A Middle School."
[...]
The system raised its voice incredulously: [You're going to—A Middle School!]
"yes."
Ning Wanwan's hand was already on the doorknob.
The system realized she was serious and sped up its speech: [What are you thinking! Given the situation outside, you might encounter danger as soon as you go out! And what can you even do at A-class, even the male lead and the others…]
Ning Wanwan interrupted it: "I want to go and see."
What are you looking at?
“Let’s see the reality of this world,” Ning Wanwan said. “Look, even Xiaozhou might not be by my side for some reason. I need to go out and see the world.”
【There's no need to go to A-level! Besides, that humanoid weapon is only leaving temporarily. The barriers erected around your house are almost as thick as a tortoise shell. Even Ansel added an extra layer of protection when he left. As long as you don't go out—】
"System, what are you so nervous about?" Ning Wanwan tilted her head slightly.
[...]
"Don't be nervous," Ning Wanwan said. For some reason, she felt like laughing, and then she did laugh. "I'm just going to A Middle School to take a look."
She grasped the doorknob, pressed the button, opened the door, and went outside.
The air outside seemed to carry a strange, fishy smell.
I don't know if it's just my imagination.
With that thought in mind, Ning Wanwan stopped hesitating and headed towards A Middle School.
Fortunately, there was no danger near her home, and it's unclear whether someone had cleared the area beforehand. But it's a good thing overall.
It was very quiet outside, with almost no one going out, so there was no need to worry about traffic.
Ning Wanwan thus arrived at A Middle School.
Outside A, no-passage signs have been put up, but there are few guards and few people dare to approach. From a distance, it looks particularly eerie and chilling.
"Is this what you meant by 'just looking'?" the system asked through gritted teeth in her mind.
Ning Wanwan scratched her cheek and laughed awkwardly, "I came in to take a look... well, you could say I came in to take a look."
She was already walking in the black mist, the strange black mist that shrouded the outside of A Middle School, where it was said that no one who entered ever came out again.
Ning Wanwan continued walking forward like this.
"You... Ha, I knew it. You look so timid and obedient, but actually..." The system didn't finish its sentence.
Ning Wanwan: "...You seem to have some misunderstanding about me."
In reality, she is still that timid, cowardly, and socially anxious ordinary person. She was willing to come, but it was only for her own sake.
Moreover, she also feels a sense of detachment from this world that does not belong to her, which is an important reason why she is able to do some risky things.
A few more cold laughs from the system echoed in her mind.
What would you do if you died here?
Ning Wanwan was stunned for a moment: "Ah, if you die... what else can be done?"
She's already dead, what can she do? She's just dead. She can't care about what happens after she dies.
She knew very well that she was just an ordinary person, and in a dangerous world, she could easily die. She was prepared for that.
...Anyway, if we can't stop all of this from happening, even if we don't die this time, we'll die next time.
Therefore, it's better to seize the opportunity to participate in the plot and see how things go.
If she couldn't find a solution, then she was out of options.
Ning Wanwan thought to herself, "I've done all I can anyway."
She walked forward, not knowing how long she had walked, when suddenly her eyes were filled with light.
She entered the school.
At first glance, the school interior looks no different than before. The playground, flower beds, teaching buildings... are all the same as before, except that there are hardly any people in sight.
Just as she was thinking this, Ning Wanwan suddenly felt something sticky under her feet, as if she had stepped on something.
A metallic scent of blood wafted from the tip of my nose.
Ning Wanwan looked down at her feet, slowly moved her shoes away, and saw a pool of blood mixed with some bits of flesh and other things.
"……vomit."
Ning Wanwan quickly moved to the side, gagged, and her face turned slightly pale. Fortunately, the sight of her neighbor in the past had given her some resilience, and Ning Wanwan recovered quickly.
"I wonder if I'll run into the male lead and the others... That would ensure my safety and also allow me to obtain more information..."
Ning Wanwan let out a breath and secretly prayed that she would have better luck.
Unfortunately, she was unlucky this time and ran into several menacing-looking people: "Hand over the food!"
The group of boys in front of them were all tall and imposing, each holding a sharp, gleaming weapon, such as a crowbar and a baseball bat. Although they were still wearing school uniforms, the murderous intent emanating from them and their bloodshot eyes made it impossible to tell that they were students.
They were like hungry wolves, their greedy eyes fixed on the backpack on her body.
It was as if if Ning Wanwan couldn't deliver food that satisfied them, she herself would become, [food].
Under such gaze, Ning Wanwan swore she had never reacted so quickly before—she turned and ran without hesitation.
"Chase!!"
Ning Wanwan bypassed the blind spot and hid in the bushes, barely daring to breathe.
Those people haven't found her yet, but they are clearly certain that she is nearby and hasn't run away, so they keep searching the area.
As one of the people gradually approached her, Ning Wanwan's heart pounded uncontrollably, she gritted her teeth, and cold sweat poured down her face.
She'll be discovered in the next second.
Then, she suddenly heard a shrill scream.
The person who was about to walk over stopped.
Ning Wanwan breathed a slight sigh of relief, and then she saw an even more terrifying scene—
Not far away, one of the group members was sitting on the ground, his thigh being grabbed by a blood-red monster.
With the crunching sound of bones breaking during chewing, the male student's lower body was being slowly swallowed and eaten by the monster.
The scene was so terrifying that Ning Wanwan's mind went blank, and she almost screamed instinctively, but luckily she bit the back of her hand.
Even more bizarrely, after the brief chaos, the other companions did not go to rescue the people, but stood at a distance, watching from the sidelines, as if observing or weighing the pros and cons.
"There's no saving it, so let it be."
"The beast will leave after it finishes eating."
Two light, casual sentences.
Ning Wanwan felt a chill run down her spine.
She couldn't understand how the school had become like this in just a few days.
Just as Ning Wanwan was horrified, someone suddenly grabbed her collar from behind and shouted, "We've got her!"
Ning Wanwan froze. It was all over.
"Good, let's see what we can use on us."
She was surrounded by this group of people and became a "supply" that was about to be divided up.
"I'll give you my backpack, I'll give you everything, just let me go..." Ning Wanwan said softly.
But she quickly ran out of things to say.
From the expressions on these people's faces, she realized that she couldn't be let go.
They didn't even intend to communicate with her, let alone mock or insult her, because she was just an object, a resource that allowed them to continue living.
Who would talk to an "inanimate object"?
Ning Wanwan had already seen the blood-stained blade.
She had already secretly reached into her pocket for the fruit knife, a rather large one, which she had deliberately sharpened to a very fine point.
Relying solely on this, it will be difficult to break free from the encirclement.
"etc--"
Just when Ning Wanwan thought she was doomed, a blur flashed before her eyes, and with a "splat," three lines of blood suddenly gushed from the throat of the person directly in front of her, gradually opening up a gash.
Then, he touched it in disbelief, and then his body seemed to realize he was dead, collapsing to the ground and raising a cloud of dust.
Immediately afterwards, not only him, but the entire row of people fell to the ground in the exact same position, losing their breath.
"..."
This scene was truly bizarre.
Ning Wanwan looked up and saw someone who looked somewhat familiar.
"...Jeremy"
The man clicked his tongue and slowly approached her, seemingly displeased: "So you're calling me by that village chief's son's name?"
Ning Wanwan: "Ah..."
Jeremy glanced at Ning Wanwan's bewildered face, crossed his arms, and clicked his tongue, looking like he couldn't be bothered to argue with her.
"Fine... this name is fine too."
Ning Wanwan blinked, still immersed in surprise.
She hadn't expected to see Jeremy here.
Jeremy has always followed Anseil, so is his appearance in A on Anseil's orders?
"Jeremy, why are you here?"
Jeremy's answer confirmed Ning Wanwan's thoughts.
"The king needed to know more about this place, so he sent me."
Unexpectedly, I ran into her.
Fortunately, the human girl was rescued in time; otherwise, if she had been harmed, I can't even imagine how crazy the king would have gone.
Jeremy thought to himself, ignoring the instinctive anxiety he felt when he saw the girl about to be injured and the ruthlessness he displayed towards those people.
Ning Wanwan, upon hearing Jeremy's words, also realized something.
"So, you know what's going on here, right?"
"Can you tell me what exactly happened?"
Perhaps the sudden appearance of Jeremy will be the breakthrough.
The girl raised her watery eyes and asked in a soft voice.
