“The school keeps luring various kinds of ‘students’ in. Most of them are in school uniform even though they are adults. Students from outside will be gradually drained of their values. After they lost their values, they would be sent to Hostel Building 6.” Hu Biao silently pointed at the math building. “I’ll let you in on another secret. There is more than one rule here. It was not the school rules that cornered Yan Xizhi but another person’s rules.”

“Situ An’s?”

“I said nothing.” Hu Biao quickly shook his hands. He and Gao Ming hid in the dark as they moved to Hostel Building 6. Different from the other hostel buildings, Building 6 had no hostel manager. It was fully enveloped in the dark. There was no sound from it either.

“How does one enter this building?”

“The students who skip classes and don’t come back for the night have carved out a route.” Hu Biao grabbed the security fence and climbed. Finding the blind spot of the camera on the first and second floors, he successfully entered the second-floor balcony.

“As a security guard, you sure know a lot about breaking rules.”

Not everyone could take the route offered by Hu Biao. When Gao Ming came near the fence, pale shadows appeared in the bedrooms. The students in the uniform stood facing away from Gao Ming. Their heads slanted unnaturally.

“Ignore them.” Hu Biao knocked his baton on the fence. The strange students appeared to be scared and disappeared. Gao Ming climbed up to the second floor as fast as he could. Based on the student’s reaction, he felt like he had underestimated the guard. “Did you use your special power on them?”

“What special power?” Hu Biao looked at Gao Ming like he was dumb. “I put the students in my heart, so it’s natural for them to respect me.”

Bu Hiao opened the balcony door. He ferociously threatened the students in bed who appeared to be dead, “Keep sleeping, or I’ll tell the student council about your escapades outside of school!”

“Why are they so scared of you?”

“They are not scared of me. I’m their friend.” Hu Biao said humbly, “As the executioner of the school rules at night, the nighttime security hired by the new headmaster, and the student personally taught by Headmistress Yan, it’s expected for them to listen to me.”

In other people’s eyes, Hu Biao might appear selfish and loyal to no one, but Gao Ming was impressed. Hu Biao somehow managed to flourish under the three rules. In fact, Hu Biao was helping Gao Ming as a form of ‘investment.’

After they left the bedroom, Hu Biao became nervous. “The student council’s secret is here. However, I have to preface this clearly. If we’re spotted by the student council, I’ll turn you out immediately. I’ll say that it was you who dragged me here. Then, you only need to focus on running. I’ll pretend to chase after you so I can escape this place with you.”

“You’re such a nice person.” Gao Ming smiled bitterly. Hu Biao said this with such sincerity that he didn’t know what to say.

“Naturally.” Hu Biao led Gao Ming up the stairs. “The appearance of the school rules is a mystery. Overnight, many students were swapped. I do not know the specific reason, but the first batch of students to be replaced was from Hostel Building 6.”

Hu Biao suddenly paused when they reached the fourth floor. He signalled with his eyes for Gao Ming to be quiet.

Gao Ming looked down the corridor with curiosity. A row of students were lining up to enter one of the rooms as if they were sleepwalking.

Before they entered the room, they looked no different from normal students. However, when they exited the room, their eyes were wide open, like something had pierced into their pupils. Their faces were contorted, and their arms carried the student council badge.

“What is inside that room?” The student council members in the corridor looked different from the ones Gao Ming had seen. He slowly nudged forward. However, Hu Biao grabbed his shoulder. He used his wealth of emotions to warn Gao Ming not to go further.

Hu Biao dragged him back. After they left the fourth floor, only Hu Biao dared to speak. “Do you want to die? Why did you go forward?”

“The school rules might be hiding in that room. Perhaps we can finally see the real face of the school rules!” Gao Ming’s eyes glowed. This was the closest he had been to the truth since he entered the school.

“Do you think it’ll be so easy? Once you enter the fourth floor, you’ll be forced to queue up and be part of the team. You’ll lose your mind and eventually become a part of the student council.” Hu Biao shook Gao Ming’s arms. “Wake up!”

“Liu Yi said that once we find the red cupboard where the files of the student council members are kept and put our files in, we can become a member of the student council.” Gao Ming still remembered the info Liu Yi found.

“Why would something so important be hidden in such a conspicuous place?” Hu Biao grabbed onto Gao Ming and didn’t let him go easily. “Yan Shaoyu is here, but we need to figure out which room she is in.”

“Won’t it be easier if we kidnap a student and ask them?”

“Do you know who you’re talking to? No! They are in a sleep-walking state. If you wake them up, something bad will happen.” Seeing how anticipatory Gao Ming was, Hu Biao covered his face. “When other people come here, they can’t wait to hide inside the walls, but you can’t wait to be discovered.”

“We can’t wake them up and get close to them. In that case…” Gao Ming took out the death portrait for Fear Illness. The greater the fear spread, the more horrifying the illusion would be. As the Fear Illness spread, it could gain the power to wipe out a whole city.

“What is this?” Hu Biao suddenly felt like Gao Ming was more dangerous than the other rules because this person was not restricted by any rules!

Gao Ming took out an ugly and scary doll from the portrait. Before he could do anything, the sleep-walking students in the corridor all whipped their heads around. Their eyelids flew open at the same time to reveal their pupilless eyes. They had the same emotion on their faces. The students moved their feet at the same time. They were like marionettes as they ambled towards the stairs. The uniform footsteps and similar faces were oppressive.

“I was the one who grabbed him first!” Hu Biao shouted like he had won a great price. Then, he somehow tripped and shoved Gao Ming down the stairs. “Hey! Chase after him! He might escape from the third window in Room 6204!”

Hu Biao gave Gao Ming the escape route. As long as Gao Ming was not captured, he could continue to act dumb. Without the big dog as his side, Gao Ming was under a lot of pressure. These controlled students were scarier than his parents.

“Shadows! Shadows move in their bodies!” Gao Ming threw the doll at the corner of the third-floor staircase to buy time as he charged towards Room 6204.

“Fuck it! The main goal is to escape! I’ll deal with it later if the difficulty of the survivability increases!”
