Chapter 234
Although these were only the first batch of visitors, the first session of Werewolf quickly filled up.
As everything suddenly went dark, Kong Hanchi silently gave the attraction a glowing review.
The immersion was incredible!
In the darkness, an elderly voice sounded in his ears.
“This is where countless children once began their dreams. But on that day, everything changed.”
“Insects from parts unknown shattered the peace of the school. I watched countless people die before my very eyes.”
The instant the voice fell silent, a scream rang out.
The sound of flesh being devoured lingered in their ears.
More than ten seconds later, the eerie voice returned.
“Welcome to… Insect Academy!”
“My subjects, help me hunt down these humans and turn them into nourishment!”
When the world lit up again, Kong Hanchi found himself inside a school.
Judging by the Japanese sign overhead, the scenario clearly wasn’t set at home.
The sky was overcast, and the entire school was deathly silent.
Kong Hanchi carefully checked his role. Unsurprisingly, he was the Mole.
That matched the opening speech. He was now one of the eerie voice’s subjects.
But as he felt the faint power pulsing through his wrist, a twisted gleam gradually crept into his eyes.
Unlike Psychiatric Hospital, the Mole in the Insect Academy scenario had special abilities.
During his two days on the Island, Zhang Bei had spent most of his free time refining the mechanics for those abilities.
Now that they were complete, the Insect Academy scenario had officially begun.
All one hundred people wore identical uniforms, and the numbers on their chests marked them as students.
There might have been a lot of them, but scattered across such an enormous school, they seemed utterly insignificant.
A voice rose from the crowd.
“Since this is Werewolf, shouldn’t we split up and look for clues?”
“Then those of us who are teachers will head to the classroom building!”
Kong Hanchi hadn’t expected someone to suggest splitting up so quickly.
Perfect. That suited him just fine!
“Who’s coming with me to the girls’ dorm?”
“Me! Me! I’m coming!”
“Count me in!”
The crowd quickly divided into three groups.
Kong Hanchi joined a group of teachers heading toward the classroom building at the center of the campus.
It stood six stories tall and covered a vast area.
Kong Hanchi narrowed his eyes and patted the shoulder of the teacher beside him.
“Take the Chinese and math departments and start searching from the third floor. We’ll meet up on the second!”
“All right!”
The group split in two again. The teacher Kong Hanchi had patted never noticed the tiny insect on his shoulder crawling into his clothes.
Kong Hanchi watched the group head upstairs, then turned to the people in front of him.
“Let’s start looking for clues too!”
Everyone spread out and entered different rooms.
Kong Hanchi looked at a nearby classroom radiating a red glow and almost failed to suppress his smile.
“Go in together?”
The two people still beside him nodded and followed him into the classroom.
The room wasn’t particularly large. Given their limited Japanese, they could just barely make out that this was second-year Class Three.
Like Huaxia, Japan followed a six-three-three-four education system.
However, education here was more relaxed than in Huaxia and placed a greater emphasis on practical application.
As the three of them entered the classroom, the lights suddenly flickered twice.
Kong Hanchi quietly walked over to the teacher’s desk and gave it a powerful kick.
The desk toppled over, and a beetle nearly one and a half times as tall as a person crawled out from inside it.
While the other two were still frozen in shock, Kong Hanchi shot out of the classroom almost instantly and yanked the door firmly shut behind him.
Cries and screams rang out from inside the classroom. Kong Hanchi glanced through the bloodstained window.
Two figures had been completely cocooned in white silk, and tiny insects were crawling inside through the remaining gaps.
The sight sent a shudder through Kong Hanchi.
As the two players were eliminated, two more tiny insects appeared in his palm.
Kong Hanchi narrowed his eyes, mussed up his hair, and ran toward the next occupied classroom.
By the time he reached it, he was panting heavily.
“Bugs! There are bugs in the classroom!”
There were three people inside. As soon as they saw him running over, they hurriedly gathered around.
“What’s wrong?”
“What happened?”
Kong Hanchi dropped to the floor. “We were just searching for supplies when a bug suddenly jumped out. The two people with me have already been eliminated.”
A man walked over and offered Kong Hanchi a hand, pulling him to his feet.
Kong Hanchi flicked his wrist. In the blink of an eye, a tiny insect burrowed into the man’s arm.
“Thanks!”
“No problem. Why don’t you stick with us for now?”
Kong Hanchi shook his head. “No need. I’ll see if any other team is short a member.”
“All right. Be careful!”
Kong Hanchi waved and turned to leave the classroom.
Unlike the voting system in Psychiatric Hospital, Good players in Insect Academy had plenty of ways to eliminate a Mole.
Some areas contained special items, and several roles classified as Divine Class could also secretly kill the Mole.
That’s right. Divine Class roles existed in Insect Academy, and there was more than one.
Take our player No. 30, for example.
At that moment, he was crouching in a corner of the girls’ dormitory with a thoroughly lecherous grin on his face.
A soft white glow radiated from both his hands as he reached out and grabbed at the empty air.
A longsword instantly appeared in his grasp.
The entire blade was crimson, with tongues of flame occasionally flickering across its surface.
No. 30 slung the longsword across his back, a surge of heroic fervor welling up inside him.
Spirit Swordsman, a special Divine Class belonging to the Good Faction.
Every five minutes, he could summon a weapon from the void, though only one weapon could exist at a time.
Sound powerful?
Unfortunately, the ability came with restrictions.
And every type of weapon had a different condition for its use.
The price for wielding the longsword No. 30 had summoned was extremely minor.
All he had to do was loudly shout the name of his technique when attacking, and the sword’s power would activate.
It might be a little embarrassing, but its power was beyond question!
Now that No. 30 had a weapon, he looked at the giant beetle rampaging through the corridor and sneered.
“Vile beast! This humble Daoist shall send you to the afterlife today!”
Boom!
The beetle answered by smashing its massive pincer through the wall.
Seeing all the heads poking out from the surrounding dorm rooms, No. 30 flushed slightly.
“Vile beast! Witness my Cleave Heaven and Earth!”
The longsword came down in an utterly ordinary slash, but empowered by a flash of red light, it unleashed an arc of sword energy that blazed Fire Red.
The giant beetle was sliced cleanly in half in an instant.
In the distance, a young man hiding behind a door watched with envy filling his eyes.
With the danger resolved, No. 30 put away his longsword and maintained his cold, aloof persona.
Crowds of people streamed out from the different dorm rooms.
Suddenly, the bisected beetle exploded.
