"It would be best if we could form a team." Girl number three spoke slowly, then quickly explained, "It's not that I admire a lone wolf, but his strength indeed qualifies him to sit at the same table with us."

"This mission is extremely risky. If bringing another person can help share some resources, I have no objections." Girl number two said.

Their task was related to obtaining ashes, but it posed a great threat to their lives. Retiring safely was almost impossible, but if they involved Lin Yi to share the risk, it could increase everyone's chances of survival. By then, compromising a bit during the allocation and taking fewer ashes wouldn't be a problem.

After all, living is what brings the next opportunity.

"Let's go see him." Sister Zhou left her seat.

"Follow him directly?" Girl number three asked, surprised.

"Go and see." Sister Zhou confirmed again, "Without observing a bit more, how can we make an accurate judgment?"

Girl number three quickly replied, "Alright, I'll go too."

Girl number two also said, "Let's go together!"

As the leader of the team, during discussions, everyone could express their opinions, but once she made a decision, the rest naturally needed to follow without hesitation.

The three women then headed toward the classroom door.

...

May 11, X023, 19:55, Teaching Building B 1F.

A few minutes ago.

Lin Yi closed the classroom door and turned to look towards the direction of Class B Group 3.

By this time, a thick layer of forest-white mist had already enveloped the campus. The cobblestone path beneath the steps was almost submerged, only near the lampposts could one vaguely see the traces of cobblestones.

The mist floating on the ground was like a layer of dry ice, blowing in waves up the steps with the cold evening wind in the mountains, spreading into the corridors of the teaching building.

In the direction of Class B Group 3, almost at the moment Lin Yi closed the door, Wei Shan also opened his door.

"Old Lin." Wei Shan called out, then stepped forward, walking towards him.

The two reconvened.

As soon as they met, Wei Shan got straight to the point, "Where did you say Lu Zhao and Little Genius are now?"

"I'm looking." Lin Yi followed the sensation from before and looked over again, but just as he determined the direction, a light flashed in his eyes, "There it is! As expected, they've found us!"

"Let me see!" Wei Shan quickly looked in the direction Lin Yi pointed, his eyes suddenly glowing with a golden light, seemingly able to penetrate the night.

"I see it! Hahaha..." Wei Shan's tone suddenly became deep, a low rumbling started in his throat like a blower, "I see the one you called... Little Genius, it really is him..."

"What's the word?"

"Hum... It feels almost the same as the one I killed yesterday, but with an indescribable strange scent." Wei Shan squinted his eyes, "Could it be related to Yin Bi... that little trickster, it's not impossible for him to come up with some weird things..."

"You mean, kill one and another appears? No, could this have Kuai Kuai's handiwork in it?" Lin Yi's expression turned serious.

"For matters concerning Yin Bi, I'm not sure." Wei Shan said solemnly, "But from now on, it seems I was too rash killing it yesterday. Today I should have taken it apart to study what it really is!"

"I'll take him down, you take him apart... just like dismantling a puppet."

"No problem." Lin Yi decisively nodded, "And Lu Zhao? Axed?"

"Total waste, a rescue for nothing, axed." Wei Shan sneered, not bothering to cast a glance at Lu Zhao.

Waste... Lin Yi sighed quietly, truly a waste!

He claims to be the elite of the 'God's Domain', I saved him from the clutches of the Graveyard of the Deceased, and like security escorted him to the Gymnasium area, yet still couldn't manage to survive.

If Lu Zhao had been just a contaminated Experience Student—like Li Huiyuan, initially with no great highlights—it might have been understandable, but Lu Zhao, what kind of person are you?

Elite of 'God's Domain', bro!

I even descended like a godsend, connected a good team, repelled the enemy, and you walk back to the fountain from the wild area with a sliver of health, stepped on a mine and got blown up?

Others didn't have the insight, and you didn't either?

Truly a waste!

Suddenly, Lin Yi said, "No, Wei Sang, this Little Genius, something's not right!"

His eyes were fixated straight at Little Genius' hands, "He has a flashlight!"

"He is the real Little Genius! No, to be precise, he is the original remnant of Little Genius! Some parts are the original components!"

Wei Shan laughed out loud, the laughter turning from honest to hideous and bloodthirsty, "Then it's even more worth taking apart to study, huhuhuhu..."

His body slightly crouched, resembling a predator about to pounce on its prey, surrounded by an intense deep-blue breath like no other.

Lin Yi quickly said, "Wei Sang, isn't your breath too strong, making it sense ahead of time?"

"The rich breath is exactly what a 'prey' should have." Wei Shan slowly said, "If it indeed returns from the Return to Sea Tide, then right now, it must be one of those sinister things, the denser my breath, the more it wants to devour!"

"Look, he... is coming!"

In the rolling forest-white mist, Little Genius was indeed attracted by Wei Shan's breath. The muscles on his pale face moved block by block like cubes, revealing a bizarre, uneven smile.
