Chapter 218
Yu Tu checked whether the "student" whose arm he grabbed still had any consciousness left as a human being. His action was so sudden that it would be difficult to hide any clues. However, due to his sudden action, he obviously violated the rules, so he was killed by the "student" who rushed over.
This was his first "death".
Afterwards, Yu Tu restrained his first recklessness, transformed himself into the same school uniform and sneaked into the classroom, trying to communicate with some classmates who didn't look so dull, but no one paid attention to anything other than "studying". In the end, he was labeled as a bad student who didn't study and was forced to accept the class trial.
This was his second "death".
Then, Yu Tu turned into a smaller version of his original form and spent a long time investigating all the students in the teaching building. Unfortunately, no miracle happened. The students in this building did not have human consciousness. Their reactions were just the twisted instincts left after they were eroded. Yu Tu tried to purify them without killing them, but failed.
This was his third "death".
After restarting, Yu Tu decided to change direction, such as controlling the teachers in this building, and even trying to trick the principal who was not in this building to see if he could use his identity to guide the change of the rules, but he still failed.
This was his fourth "death".
Controlling the teacher or the principal, both ways are not feasible. Yu Tu took the first step and began to challenge the core rules of this teaching building, such as getting the first place in the monthly exam by writing a weird paper, taking a weird way to leave the weird with no way to go, but it still didn't work.
This was his fifth "death".
After restarting for the sixth time, Yu Tu finally realized thoroughly from the profound lessons of the previous times that he should not try to understand monsters with human rules. The methods that work for humans and even for demons and ghosts are simply ineffective for monsters. They have no emotions, and living creatures are no different from stones on the roadside to them. The better ones are just food in their mouths.
The residual instincts left over from a strange creature's lifetime can cause great confusion to people, making people always want to save them. But no matter how human-like they appear, they are not human after all.
Yu Tu condensed the spiritual power in his palm into a weapon, and swung his sword at the "student" rushing towards him. When the spiritual power turned into a blade and pierced into the strange body, the touch was soft yet hard, as if he was killing a living person.
Yu Tu paused for a moment subconsciously.
This was his sixth "death".
Waking up from the pain for the seventh time, facing the students rushing towards him, Yu Tu did not hesitate any longer as he swung the blade transformed from spiritual power. He felt as if his body and consciousness were divided into two parts. His body was performing the moves he had learned in class, while his consciousness was in a daze, sometimes lucid and sometimes confused.
On the other side of the vest, Yu Tu heard Qu Yutao's voice. He said, "All children will experience this day, sooner or later."
Yu Tu turned his head to look at him. Qu Yutao was staring at the surveillance screens lined up in a row. In each surveillance screen, there was a student fighting hard against the monsters rushing towards them. Some of them were crying while waving their weapons, some were bitten by the monsters, and some were hesitant when they were about to kill and were killed in return... In the surveillance screen, everyone was a wolf.
"It's better to cry now than bleed later." The surveillance footage was reflected in Qu Yutao's eyes, which were red. "Kunlun is not a greenhouse."
The most cruel thing about this design is that when you find that any method doesn't work, you must let go of your luck and compassion and act decisively, otherwise you will hurt others and yourself.
"The core of the snow mountain should be a simulation of a real strange point somewhere." Yu Tu always felt that he had something else in mind. "Kunlun should have deduced it many times, right?"
Qu Yutao didn't nod or shake his head, he just clicked on one of the surveillance screens in front of him and said softly: "One thousand six hundred and seventy-two."
Qu Yutao has deduced this strange spot a full 1,672 times. He can even call out the name of each strange thing when it was alive. In the entire Kunlun, no one is more familiar with the layout of the core of this snow mountain than him.
"Look at this student." Qu Yutao pointed at the magnified surveillance video. The student had already gained the upper hand in the fight with the monster. At the moment of victory, his sword had already crossed the monster's neck, but the fear on the monster's face was so similar to that of a human. The student hesitated for a moment, and was bitten through the throat by the monster. The victory and defeat were reversed in an instant. "Untimely weakness will cost you your life."
Yu Tu recalled what he saw in the past after his [Talent] was passively triggered, the bloody stairwell, and the dirty living people in the monster's hands.
Perhaps someone in the forty-three groups had a moment of soft-heartedness like this student, and his life remained there forever.
At Miller College, all they had to do was study and train, and they had little exposure to actual combat. After coming to Kunlun as exchange students, they found that Kunlun's teaching method was obviously more direct and cruel. Such a detailed background was arranged just to allow them to understand the bloody truth in such a strong contrast.
Yu Tu closed his eyes slightly. At this moment, he felt more deeply the difference between the inner world and the outer world.
The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. This is never an empty statement.
…
Perhaps because he had made clear his direction, Yu Tu was no longer "dead". When his spiritual power was exhausted, those monsters that always looked like living people would stop and wait until his spiritual power recovered, and then they would attack him again.
Yu Tu didn't know how many times he raised his hands, how many times he raised his knife, nor did he know how many strange heads he had chopped off. At the very end of the battle, what supported him was no longer spiritual power, but a bit of willpower that refused to fall.
There was no day or night in the teaching building, and there was no concept of the passage of time. After Yu Tu killed all the monsters within his sight, the corpses piled up into a small hill.
Yu Tuhun was covered in blood, and he couldn't tell whether the blood was his or something strange. He wanted to vomit, but nothing came out.
He checked from the first floor all the way to the rooftop on the fifth floor, leaving no classroom or corner untouched. He naively thought that he would get an answer different from "fight violence with violence, stop killing with killing", but in the end he found that everything led to the same result.
After confirming that there was nothing strange that had been missed, Yu Tu let out a sigh of relief. He leaned against the wall of the rooftop and slowly slid down to sit on the ground.
There wasn't much blood on the rooftop, but it didn't look clean. Yu Tu raised his hand and placed it under his eyelids. His hand was covered in blood, and the original color of his skin was almost invisible.
Yu Tu was sad and dejected.
To him, it was just an extremely uncomfortable simulation, but for what had happened in the past, it was an established fact.
Yu Tu put down his hands and looked up at the sky. The sky was gray and depressing. Yu Tu suddenly thought of the team leader who had died leaning here. What was he thinking in the last moment of his life?
Yu Tu didn’t know.
But he suddenly felt extremely tired, as if a thousand-pound weight was placed on his eyelids, his consciousness suddenly stopped, and he fell straight to the ground. Before he was about to hit the ground, Yu Tu saw the vest come over and catch his real body.
Yu Tu’s last thought was that he himself was indeed the most reliable person.
The original body fell into a coma, and Yu Tu grabbed the body with the shell of Buyehou before it was about to hit the ground. He used energy to check it and found that the body's body had reached its limit in the battle during this period, so the tired body directly rejected the consciousness.
Yu Tu: “…”
The aftereffects of switching consciousness between two bodies set in—whose consciousness could be so easily ejected from a body!
Yu Tu was holding the bloody and smelly body in his arms, and was so choked by the odor that he couldn't even give a polite smile.
Because it stinks
All the monsters in this teaching building were killed by him. Yu Tu has completed the task of "Please escape from the school in the correct way", which seems to have many ways but actually only has one.
Theoretically he still had to walk out of the school gate by himself, but the most important step had been completed, so this harmless little thing didn't matter, so Yu Tu controlled the vest to come in and take the real body away.
Even if the monsters in a building are cleared, the building itself must be disinfected, otherwise ordinary people staying inside will easily get sick. Yu Tu does not want his original body to show symptoms of illness, because once the original body is sick, the learning efficiency will be reduced, which is not conducive to the progress he has already arranged.
On the other side, Qu Yutao only felt that the flow of air next to him changed slightly. When he turned around, he saw that the Buyehou next to him had disappeared.
Qu Yutao: “……?”
A rare look of confusion appeared in his light amber eyes. He looked at the other teachers here who had sensed the changes, and they all looked at each other in bewilderment.
In the southeast corner of the cave, an old man with a white beard and an immortal look pointed his hand in front of him. The picture in his hand swept to the top of Qiankunmu and turned into a super-large picture. The Buyehou was in it.
Perhaps sensing their gaze, Buyehou raised his head and met their eyes across the surveillance screen. He politely apologized, "Please wait a moment, everyone. I'll be back soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared like smoke, along with the bloody humanoid object in his arms.
Yu Tu brought the original body back to the small building, and then cast several cleansing spells on it. The original body instantly became brand new as if it was picked up from the garbage dump, but Yu Tu still felt it was not clean.
He frowned and wanted to give his body a bath, but he felt it would be a waste of time as he still had to check on the other students and take notes.
Yu Tu hesitated for three seconds beside the bed, then decisively shook open the quilt, rolled up the body like a sushi roll, and then put a pillow under the body's head.
After the fatigue of the main body subsides, he will move part of the consciousness in. Then he can take a shower, wash the pillowcases and quilt covers. If the main body can enter the consciousness but the others have not completed the level, he can also use this time to review the poor performance when killing monsters.
Yu Tu was making plans in his mind, but his hands did not slow down at all. He finally arranged the "sushi roll", smoothed the wrinkled corners of the quilt, and disappeared from the room.
When Qu Yutao sensed the change in the air flow around him again, Hou Buye appeared at the same place as before, as if he had never left.
As if noticing his gaze, Buyehou once again politely apologized: "Sorry, I was a little anxious just now. I'm sorry."
