Part 2
Lin Qi replied, “This is a Purifier. Pervert or not, Chief, just consider it a sacrifice for the team.”
Sui An: “Get lost.”
Lin Qi: “Yes, sir!”
While the teachers chatted nonsense outside, the atmosphere inside the classroom remained explosive.
Chu Xiao’s Qi surged outward violently. But even though he had reached a chaotic state, the Qi still carefully bypassed Luo Shizhen, bringing him no pressure.
It bypassed Luo Shizhen, but it didn’t bypass Xiao Shan. It rushed toward Xiao Shan filled with rage.
Xiao Shan wasn’t a pushover either; his aura immediately turned violent.
The school doctor, who had just healed them, heard the warning beep on his watch. He immediately took a huge step back with practiced ease, grabbed his medical kit, and walked out.
He fled remarkably fast.
Once outside, seeing the three standing in a row, the doctor only recognized Chen He’an and shouted to him:
“Mr. Chen, my watch is warning me. Your students are probably going to fight again. I’m leaving first. Call me when they’re done and someone needs treatment.”
He shouted as he spoke, and by the time he finished, he was already downstairs.
As an ordinary person in an Awakener school, the doctor’s running speed would definitely secure a top-three spot in a race.
Lin Qi commented, “They’re really going to fight.”
Chen He’an rolled his neck, already accustomed to it. “Young people really have energy. Just fought one round, and they can go for another.”
Lin Qi asked, “What if Luo Shizhen can’t purify Chu Xiao? Should I rush in and beat Chu Xiao half to death? Forcibly interrupt the mutation process?”
Chen He’an showed an appreciative expression. “Teacher Lin, you are already a qualified teacher.”
Lin Qi: “What if Captain Sui and I hadn’t come? Would you use a duplicate to fight?”
Chen He’an: “The Vice Principal is sleeping under the desk. He would come out.”
Lin Qi: ?
He couldn’t understand how the words “under the desk” and “sleeping” could be put together.
Chen He’an explained, “The Vice Principal is like that. He likes digging holes underground. You’ll know later.”
Lin Qi expressed understanding. After all, there were too many Awakeners with strange quirks.
He had heard a saying that artists were all madmen. In his opinion, it should be that Awakeners were all madmen.
The difference was only that some were completely mad, some were half-mad, and some hid latent madness genes, waiting to explode at any moment.
Lin Qi said, “It’s a pity the ‘beat half to death’ trick can’t be used frequently. If this student reaches critical levels again in a few days, I can’t beat him to death, can I?”
Interrupting an Awakener’s internal mutation could indeed be done by beating them half to death to force a halt.
But the problem was, it really meant beating them half to death—a third wouldn’t do. If the “HP” lost from a previous beating hadn’t recovered, you naturally couldn’t beat away another half.
Chen He’an was peaceful about it.
“If Chu Xiao reaches critical levels again soon, there’s no helping it. His condition can’t be delayed any longer. We’ll have to trouble the Inspector then.”
Lin Qi fell silent for a moment, then said:
“That’s fine. Captain Sui won’t let the child suffer.”
Chen He’an said calmly, “Yes, his hand is very steady.”
Sui An continued to lean there, eyes closed, resting, as if he hadn’t heard a word they said.
Chen He’an’s expression remained peaceful, but his gaze stayed fixed on the classroom, his lips pressed into a tight, nervous line.
If Chu Xiao couldn’t survive this…
Then he would have to prepare to transfer Luo Shizhen to another school.
Having lost Chu Xiao, he couldn’t let Luo Shizhen, this pure child, face the death of a friend with his own eyes.
Chen He’an thought of the time at Eternal Day when he asked Luo Shizhen privately.
——“The school Chu Xiao and Qin Yinian attend now… is a bit dangerous. The students have big tempers and might all need purification. The other school has relatively friendlier students. Shizhen, which school do you want to go to?”
——“Um… I’ll still go to the school where Mr. Chen is. Danger doesn’t matter; I’m very strong. Besides, Chu Xiao has had poor health since he was little, and he broke his leg before. If I go, I can protect him. I’ve always protected him.”
The student, still wearing the No. 3 High School uniform, patted his chest optimistically:
——“It doesn’t matter if they need purification. Don’t I have the Purification ability? I’ll definitely be able to purify them then!”
Chen He’an sighed softly.
This child… really made one’s heart go soft.
And for that reason, he wanted even less for him to be hurt.
The Little Spirit Essence sensed its owner’s mood and poked its green head out to look into the classroom.
Lin Qi also began to prepare, ready to rush in at top speed to interrupt Chu Xiao’s mutation if things went wrong.
Although they knew they could interrupt it once, the three of them were clear that internal mutations would become more frequent and couldn’t be stopped by human intervention forever.
To some extent.
Chu Xiao’s life or death depended on this moment.
Inside the room, Luo Shizhen watched helplessly as his two friends started fighting again.
Why were they always fighting!
He rushed over anxiously to pull them apart.
Xiao Shan’s face was cold and hard, but fearing he might hurt Luo Shizhen, he let go.
Even Chu Xiao, who had only a fraction of his reason left, forcibly controlled himself after Luo Shizhen ran over.
Luo Shizhen had a headache. “Can’t we talk nicely? Chu Xiao, your face just healed, you need to take good care…”
He suddenly paused, looking at Chu Xiao’s face in shock. “Your… your face…”
Realizing something, Chu Xiao abruptly covered his face.
What he touched was not the smooth skin it should have been, but sections of hard shell stacked like intertwined roots.
“My face…”
Chu Xiao subconsciously looked at Luo Shizhen.
But in the reflection of Luo Shizhen’s pupils, he saw a disgusting monster—half human face, half twisted face covered by piles of small stones.
He instantly realized.
He was mutating—
“Don’t look at me! You aren’t allowed to look at me!”
Chu Xiao covered his face, dodging Luo Shizhen’s gaze. His mind became somewhat unclear, his pupils shifting between compound eyes and human eyes.
This was the sign of mutation.
Luo Shizhen’s expression was still blank, but his feet subconsciously moved forward to pull Chu Xiao. Xiao Shan grabbed him back.
“Don’t go over there. He is mutating.”
The arrogance in Xiao Shan’s gaze as he looked at Chu Xiao was gone, replaced by a complex expression.
Qin Yinian and the other students were the same.
Even though they usually couldn’t stand each other, as fellow Awakeners who might mutate in the future, no one wanted to see this scene.
“The seventh one.”
Someone whispered.
When the school started, there were thirty-four students.
One after another, six students lost their balance and underwent internal mutation. Perhaps everyone was attending class together one day, and the next day, a new grave was added to the hill behind the school.
Now, Chu Xiao was the seventh.
Lu Qiujin slowly stood up, looking at Chu Xiao, who showed panic for the first time.
In his eyes, Chu Xiao’s face gradually turned into his own.
Chu Xiao’s panic became his panic.
Would he panic?
Lu Qiujin wasn’t sure.
Chu Xiao panicked because Luo Shizhen was there; he didn’t want Luo Shizhen to see his ugly, miserable state.
However, after he died, Luo Shizhen would surely be sad for Chu Xiao.
Maybe he would even cry.
What about Lu Qiujin?
If he mutated into a monster, no one would pity him. Even his parents might only hypocritically express distress, then say, “We knew this day would come. Qiujin did well to last this long.”
First year, pay respects.
Second year, forget him.
Third year, Lu Qiujin would completely disappear from people’s memories, as if he never existed.
Maybe Chu Xiao would too.
Luo Shizhen might remember him for the first five years, but as time passed, the dead would naturally fade away.
So, Lu Qiujin would not die.
Even if he became a monster, he would absolutely not die.
Lu Qiujin looked at Chu Xiao, who stood still covering his face, and thought: How stupid.
Chu Xiao staying put meant he was waiting for death.
Lu Qiujin could tell he was waiting for other students or teachers to dispose of him after he completely mutated.
Doing so just to leave a slightly better impression in front of Luo Shizhen, rather than existing as a monster.
Under Lu Qiujin’s gaze, Xiao Shan looked at Chu Xiao with a complicated expression, then raised his large hand to cover Luo Shizhen’s eyes.
“Don’t look. He doesn’t want you to see.”
