The villains are redeemed, and the heroines cry and beg for forgiveness.

The "shadow," which originally had no physical form, now felt its own "body," and it felt a strong sense of oppression emanating from its "body."

This oppressive feeling flattened its "body," making it feel extremely uncomfortable.

This was an experience it had never had before.

"Stop...stop it!"

The "shadow" immediately begged for mercy.

"Psychic power... Could it be a power developed by the previous 'General Regency'?"

He had previously unlocked four percent of the "Ark Core" information, and the sheer volume of this information was almost overwhelming for him.

Although the reception was finally completed, it will take some time to "digest" them.

Gu Ran just felt that she had "digested" some information.

He recalled the time when the "General Regent" took Rouqing to outer space and encountered demons, and the new power he wanted to develop specifically to deal with demonic consciousness beings.

This new power... should be "telekinesis".

Could the "prophet" and the "general ruler" really be the same person?

When the Sea Queen encountered the Great Flood, the "Prophet" used a technique to "fill" the sea with water, achieving an effect similar to the Sea Queen creating an "ocean lake" in the sky.

This led the Sea Queen to acknowledge his strength, laying the foundation for their later cooperation in sealing the Sea Eye.

Looking back now, that ability was clearly the effect of materializing telekinesis.

"No, it's also possible that it's an ability that you awakened on your own, just like me. But while that's a possibility, it's too early to be completely certain."

Gu Ran dismissed the guess in his mind and turned his attention to the "demon" in front of him.

Gu Ran remained silent, showing no intention of engaging in conversation.

He had figured it out: the "demon" liked to manipulate people's hearts and was arrogant, so it would never cooperate properly.

If you don't teach it a lesson, it might not even want to cooperate or talk.

However, just as Gu Ran was teaching this "demon" a lesson, the rest of the mecha team slowly recovered.

"Huh... that's strange, what just happened to us?"

The members of the mecha squad looked at themselves and their comrades in disbelief.

Although they wouldn't say they were like brothers, they were definitely like-minded friends.

They actually fought each other over some "trivial matters", showing no mercy to each other, leaving each other covered in bruises, and several team members even fell to the ground seriously injured.

This terrified them...

“Teacher, I’m sorry. I didn’t notice Duan Qi’s abnormality sooner, I didn’t save Li Ou, and I didn’t lead the team well.” Chang Mu said with a guilty expression. “I’d like to step down as captain… let this position go to someone more suitable.”

Gu Ran looked at him and remained silent for a moment.

Chang Mu was somewhat confused and said again, "Teacher... please give the position of captain to someone else who is more suitable. My current abilities are completely insufficient."

"Who do you think would be suitable?" Gu Ran finally broke her silence and asked.

"Huh? I don't know. Teacher, just give it to whoever you think is more capable," Chang Mu replied somewhat unexpectedly.

“I think you’re the most suitable,” Gu Ran said.

"Teacher, you're... cheating..." Chang Mu's dejected expression disappeared, and he was somewhat amused and exasperated.

His emotions were swayed by Gu Ran, which took away his self-doubt and negativity.

At the same time, I was deeply moved.

"Strange, have they all given up?" Gu Ran frowned slightly.

Gu Ran was certain that the current Chang Mu was the same normal Chang Mu from before.

But it is precisely because it is too normal that it seems abnormal.

In that previous isolated space, the phantom had told him that all members of the mech squad had been invaded by evil spirits.

But now all the team members have returned to normal?

Isn't this too sudden?

Where did those "evil spirits" go?

"Alright, the pleasant time together is over. Now it's time for the more serious death!"

Suddenly, Chang Mu's expression changed, turning mocking as he looked at Gu Ran.

Chang Mu bowed slightly: "This seems to be your human etiquette, so I will follow your customs."

"I think you've already decided that this is the student you value most."

"Now, let's play a game."

"Chang Mu" had a mysterious smile on his face.

"I wonder how much more valuable this student you value most is compared to those relatively ordinary students?"

"Wait, I'll kill them one by one. The only way you can stop me, and the only way to save them... is to kill me!"

“If you don’t kill me, I will keep killing them until they are all dead.”

"The number of people who remain at the end is the value in your heart."

"So, isn't this game interesting?"

"Chang Mu" said with a smile.

“Well then, I’m going to begin now.” Chang Mu glanced at Gu Ran, took a step, and then suddenly realized that there was a barrier in front of him that he couldn’t get through at all.

"Oh, I forgot you had this ability. Not bad, it can indeed stop my actions, but our game doesn't really need me, and it can continue smoothly."

Changmu was not annoyed that his path was blocked.

"Because they were killed without me even lifting a finger."

The next moment, a member of the mech squad suddenly screamed, "Ah! I will never let everyone down!"

"I won't be a burden! Teacher Gu Ran, you must tell my younger brother about me becoming a 'hero'! He fell in love with this mecha the moment he saw it, thinking it was something only heroes could use. I wanted to surprise him, but now it seems..."

The voice of that mecha team member gradually became hoarse.

"...I can't tell him this surprise, Teacher Gu Ran. My brother will definitely be proud of me, right?"

The mecha team member's eyes were clouded with a hazy gloom, as if he had lost his mind, or as if he were talking to someone from another world.

A faint smile played on his lips.

After saying that, the mech team member took out the dagger from his waist and stabbed it fiercely into his heart.

This time, the dagger did not pierce the heart.

Because Gu Ran activated his telekinesis, it transformed into an invisible hand that directly grabbed the dagger.

Leo was able to commit suicide because Gu Ran saw the will to die in his eyes and knew that he was indeed feeling extremely guilty for killing Duan Qi and seriously injuring several of his comrades in the mecha squad.

Furthermore, Leo was the first person to show signs of being possessed by evil spirits and was the most severely affected by them.

Even if he succeeded in stopping it, Gu Ran didn't know how to deal with Li Ou.

This is why he ultimately failed to stop Leo from committing suicide.

But it is different now.

Gu Ran clearly saw signs of loss of consciousness and being controlled in the eyes of this mecha team member.

So the person who made the choice to commit suicide was not him, but a demon in his mind.

Gu Ran naturally couldn't allow his students to be "suicided," so in that instant, he used his telekinesis to trap everyone in the entire mecha squad, preventing their bodies from moving freely.

"This annoying ability... The person who created this power is truly a genius. It can not only be used against us, but also has other uses."

"Changmu" sighed as he watched this scene.

"It's a pity that if it were just me alone, this move would indeed be very useful. But when we, as members of the same race, appear together, our talents will be even stronger, and we will have a greater burst of power."

"This tactic won't stop us."

The next moment, a powerful force suddenly appeared on the body of that mecha team member.

This sudden surge of powerful energy made it difficult for the mental force that had been binding him to create any further obstacles.

The muscles in his arm were compressed, causing blood vessels to burst, but it continued relentlessly, piercing towards his heart.

The explosive force of that instant completely crippled that arm, but at the same time, it accomplished the goal of plunging the dagger into the heart.

Gu Ran stared blankly at the scene, watching the dagger pierce his chest and then blood gushing out.

"Alright, that's the first one. So, dear teacher, are you going to kill me? Once you kill me, this game can stop."

"Chang Mu" said in a seductive tone.

"What a pity, it seems you haven't decided to kill me yet. Well then, I'll start killing the second person. Actually, I'm quite curious, just how many ordinary students am I, your most valued student?"

For the first time in a long time, a surge of anger welled up in Gu Ran's heart, and he looked coldly at "Chang Mu".

The devil loves to manipulate people's hearts, and he finally understood that saying.

In fact, "Changmu" didn't give him any choice at all.
