Chapter 26 Un Entertainment It's like something driven by human will...
Ji Yang patiently waited for Jiang Yang to adjust her emotions, and when they set off again, the two tacitly skipped over what had just happened.
After inspecting the two separate paths, Ji Yang could roughly distinguish one as being made by rats and the other by rabbits. He then left the decision to Jiang Yang.
Jiang Yang, who was pacing in front of the cave entrance, suddenly asked on a whim, "Do you think this is the territory of rats or rabbits?"
“There’s no trace of anyone having lived here,” Ji Yang said, having already walked around the area while Jiang Yang and Xiao Feng were talking. “But judging from the condition of the road, it must have been the rats who lived here first, then the rabbits.”
If that's the case, then it's very likely the rats' territory.
"But what if there's a mouse inside the rabbit, or... a rabbit inside the mouse?"
Before Ji Yang could answer, Jiang Yang put on his mask, turned and walked into the seemingly rat-infested path, without leaving Ji Yang behind.
They reached the end of the road and were stopped by a double wooden door. Light shone through the crack in the door, and Jiang Yang pushed it open, revealing a familiar layout.
Of course, at this moment, there were no rabbits in dormitory 205 that they had encountered earlier.
The two emerged from the closet, the bright light causing Ji Yang to squint. "You knew it all along?"
Jiang Yang turned around; the dark path had disappeared. She asked in return, "Do you think those rabbits will successfully abort their babies in the end?"
"Yes," Ji Yang said with certainty, and their eyes met, both holding the same answer.

"Couldn't you at least consider our brains?"
"How! How! How did you learn that?!"
The Replay Hero appears, with a rabbit on one side having its mouth sewn shut into three parts, and a pregnant rabbit on the other.
The pregnant rabbit was not sewn up, and the sewn-up rabbit was not pregnant.
But what Jiang Yang cared about was, "So, did we go back to the past?"
"Perhaps, or perhaps what we are experiencing now is the past."
So in the future, a rabbit will steal the secrets from the 6th floor, and Jiang Yang suddenly felt very excited.
There are currently no signs of anyone living in 205. After a brief inspection, Jiang Yang planned to head to his destination, 213.
But just as they opened the door and went out, the corridor outside the dormitory flashed before their eyes like a still frame of a photograph, followed by a large flat floor with a layout almost identical to the third-floor dance class.
Jiang Yang glanced back uncertainly; 205 was still there...
No! In the blink of an eye, Jiang Yang watched helplessly as the number 205 disappeared before his eyes.
"Time's almost up, let's go downstairs first."
Almost as soon as we stepped out of the elevator, Ali's voice came over the loudspeaker, "Everyone, line up in your groups and get ready for class."
On stage were still the four executive agents, A, B, C, and D. Jiang Yang vaguely felt that the eyes of the agent from Group A staring at him seemed even more gloomy, and even more like those of the dead doctor he had seen in the infirmary.
"You can't escape..."
Jiang Yang had already sent a message to Nan Ke in the elevator. Now that the dormitory area was unsealed, Nan Ke rushed to Jiang Yang's side, with Huang Er following behind him. Both of them had their own unhappy expressions on their faces.
The young man asked casually, "Who made our boss angry again?"
Nan Ke glared at Huang Er, who touched his nose and put on a mournful face, "How can you blame me for this?"
It turned out that Nan Ke wanted to switch groups with Huang Er during the afternoon class, but Huang Er refused no matter what, despite all the coercion and enticement.
"No, this is something I disagree with. Do you think that NPC is an idiot?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Roue's eyes, like poisoned knives, locked onto a few of them in the crowd.
"Shh..." Ji Yang was the first to notice and spoke up to remind the others, and Huang Er immediately fell silent.
Jiang Yang coaxed Nan Ke softly, "Okay, you're the senior. It would be too obvious if the two of you switched places. Don't be angry, considering he's being targeted."
Huang Er's inner monologue: Thank you, I feel comforted.
Just like in the morning, after queuing up, you will be taken away by the executive agent.
Compared to the morning, everyone was much more tired by the afternoon, and this was only the first day of the trial.
Jiang Yang was still standing at the back of Group D, but this time she was standing directly with Huang Er.
After thinking about it, he realized he hadn't noticed him in the line that morning, so he was now observing the others very carefully.
Hoshino and Tsukie didn't come, so I don't know if they can go directly from the confinement room into the forest.
Huang Er said that four or five people were missing from their team.
Jiang Yang counted and found that the Red Team hadn't had any internal conflicts and was only missing three people. That meant that in addition to the Lion and the Dog, one more person had died.
Meng Jiang stood at the very front of the line. Jiang Yang turned to Huang Er and quietly asked, "What kind of person is Meng Jiang?"
"He's a great teammate. I heard that Ji Yang has been inviting him to join Mou Guang for a long time, but unfortunately he hasn't agreed."
Mou Guang is the mercenary guild that Ji Yang and Xie Lu belong to. Jiang Yang had seen it on the guild rankings. It has fewer than thirty members, yet it ranks first on the list. Huang Er's "Middleman" ranks seventh, and its name is really... well... hard to describe.
"So he refused because of Xiong Bingxin?" Jiang Yang asked curiously.
Huang Er lit a cigarette, his face thoughtful behind the smoke rings. "It seems... no, if I remember correctly, he had already rejected Ji Yang before he started working with Xiong Bingxin."
The smoke drifted towards Jiang Yang, causing him to hunch his shoulders and cough, pressing his fist to his lips. "Smoke less; it's bad for your health."
"Then let me be the first guy in No Man's Land to die of cancer, hahaha," Huang Er laughed purely. After taking another puff, he still put out the cigarette to take care of Jiang Yang.
Jiang Yang only found out later.
It turns out that in the No Man's Land, as long as your score is high enough, you can achieve everything you want, even immortality.
In no man's land, people always die, and people always desperately try to squeeze in for unrealistic expectations.
It's like a perpetual motion machine driven by human will; as long as desire exists, everything inside will never stop.
"However, I would like to remind you that if you are going to be with Nan Ke, I do not recommend getting too involved with Xiong Bingxin's people."
Huang Er spoke with a straight face, suggesting that the discord between Nan Ke and Xiong Bingxin was no secret in the No Man's Land.
The stiff voice brushed past Jiang Yang's ear, and he subconsciously slowed his pace. Several possible combinations flashed through his mind, which he then filtered out one by one. Finally, perhaps thinking of something, he stumbled.
Turning back, Meple still wore that mechanical smile.
"Jiang Yang!" Huang Er, who had walked almost halfway ahead, spotted Jiang Yang, who had fallen behind, and ran towards him while calling out.
Just before the passage was about to close, he grabbed Jiang Yang and rushed in, saying as he ran, "Holy crap, what were you standing there for? When I turned around, I was terrified. You dared to stick that big rabbit head right up to it."
Jiang Yang shuddered.
Yes, meple, Xiaofeng, rabbit.
Was your rabbit head still there when you pulled me?
"Strangely enough, upon closer inspection, it wasn't like that at all."
The two ran toward the light ahead. Due to inertia, Jiang Yang fell straight into the weeds the moment she broke through the barrier. When she came to her senses, Huang Er was not beside her. As for the animals who were also on the red team, they were naturally not together either, as if the rules had given each other some breathing space.
Fortunately, this was something they had anticipated. The young man got up, not bothering to brush the dust off his clothes, and with the red firework in his hand, he aimed it at his head and ripped off the metal ring below.
There was a reason why he put himself in the public eye; he was waiting for more than just Huang Er.
But just five minutes into class, the panel popped up with new content.
[Current total number of animals in the forest: 13]
Elephant: 4, Lion: 0, Tiger: 1, Leopard: 2, Wolf: 2, Dog: 0, Cat: 2, Rat: 2
Total number of hunters in the forest: 5
[Due to the total number being less than half of the participants, the Ghost Animal/Hunter mode is now available again.]
The animal killed by another animal/the hunter devoured by another will return in five minutes.
[Animal/Hunter can choose any ghost to cooperate with. Each ghost bound will reduce health by 25%, which will automatically recover after the lesson ends.]
[Unlock detailed features for Ghost Animals/Hunters after successfully binding a Ghost]
Huang Er arrived just in time; he came over before the countdown to the Ghost's return had even ended.
"Did you see that new rule?"
"I've seen it," but Jiang Yang still doesn't understand the difference between an animal killed by another animal and a hunter killed by another animal.
However, if the rules change like this, "we must cooperate with Mengjiang."
Meng Jiang's companion was killed by an elephant. To understand the situation of the ghost, cooperating with him is the most worthwhile option.
"So you're familiar with Meng Jiang?" Huang Er raised an eyebrow, his hand instinctively reaching into his pocket to touch his cigarette pack, but under Jiang Yang's smiling gaze, he gave up.
[Un Entertainment Observation Room - Jiang Yang's Perspective]
"Are we close? We've only acted together once."
"Aren't we familiar with each other? We've only acted together once."
So, are we actually close or not, huh?!
"The main point is that I think he can't get too close to Meng Jiang right now."
Yes, on the split screen of the Krypton Soul player, Hoshino and Tsukijiang were also attracted by the red fireworks set off by Jiang Yang.
This is exactly what Jiang Yang is worried about.
What he's unsure about right now is the relationship between Hoshino and Mengjiang.
The number of hunters and animals in the forest has not decreased, so Hoshino and Tsukie must have already moved from the confinement room to the field.
Therefore, it is especially important for him to know how to navigate among these people.
Suddenly, the young man slowly shifted his gaze from the ground, which had been fixed in thought, to Huang Er's face. "Hehe..."
Huang Er couldn't hold back this time. He quickly distanced himself from Jiang Yang and took out a cigarette to calm himself down. "Just say what you have to say."
"If I remember correctly, Brother Huang's rat mask is still usable, right?"
