The Pseudo-Human Academy: Starting with a Bricklayer Personality

"You're in luck. I can demonstrate how to dissect prey again."

Xu Feng looked at the boy who had wet his pants, picked him up and placed him on Teacher Mingtu's dissection table.

To prevent the boy from struggling, they knocked him unconscious.

Teacher Mingtu looked at Xu Feng with some surprise. He didn't expect his student to be so sensible. Without him having to ask, the student took the initiative to do all the preparations for him.

But when he saw the disciplinary committee member badge on Xu Feng's sleeve, he immediately felt relieved.

The disciplinary committee member is definitely a model student in the class!

Teacher Mingtu looked at Xu Feng with approval, and then said:

"Well done, you'll be the class representative for anatomy from now on."

"It is my honor, my beloved teacher," Xu Feng said, giving an elegant gentlemanly bow.

Xu Feng's tone made Teacher Mingtu feel very comfortable. No teacher would dislike such a polite and respectful student.

What followed was incredibly gruesome, with blood splattering everywhere, as the unconscious boy was dissected alive by the fake teacher.

His heart was still pounding when it was cut out.

Teacher Mingtu's dissection technique was still terrible, which made Xu Feng shake his head inwardly. Many organs were damaged and it was far from perfect.

"Alright, students, let's begin the dissection!"

In the dissection room, the students had all taken up their scalpels, and the rustling sound of blades cutting through the flesh of their prey rose and fell.

Only the human girl in the corner had white fingertips gripping the scalpel, her knuckles trembling so much she could barely hold the blade.

She bit her lower lip hard, suppressing the nausea churning in her stomach, and refused to vomit.

But when it came time to press the blade against the prey's cold body, his hands suddenly trembled violently, the blade quivering wildly in the air, unable to fall even an inch.

This scene had already been observed by Teacher Mingtu. A wicked grin crept across his frog-like, flat face, his frog eyes narrowing into two cold slits as he slowly strolled over.

"Young man, your hands are shaking quite badly."

The tension on the girl's face was instantly swallowed by extreme terror. All color drained from her face, her mind went blank, and her lips trembled, unable to utter a complete sentence.

"Teacher...I...I..."

The Netherworld slowly bent down, its frog-like head close to her ear, and a voice as gentle as a snake's tongue escaped its throat, uttering words that were utterly terrifying:

"It's okay, many of my students were just as nervous as you at first."

"But later... they all obediently lay down on the dissection table, and when their organs were removed, they were incredibly beautiful, fresh and plump, every inch of them was mesmerizing!"

The moment the words left her lips, the girl's last shred of reason crumbled completely, like a spider's web severed by a sharp blade.

She suddenly tilted her head back and let out a heart-wrenching, near-collapse scream.

The sound echoed in the dissection room, yet it carried an unstoppable tremor of despair.

Xu Feng glanced at his fake roommates Zhao Hu and Li Cheng beside him and was surprised to find that their hands were also trembling violently as they held the knife.

The blade slashed wildly, the organs of its prey were already torn to pieces, and bits of flesh mixed with congealed black blood stuck to the dissection tray.

Fortunately, the prey's blood had already completely congealed, otherwise, given how clumsy these two were, black blood would definitely have splattered all over his face.

Xu Feng was speechless.

No, the teachers at this fake human academy are way too perverted!

Not only does it like to scare human students, but it even scares fake people out of their wits. Is there no justice in this world?

Teacher Mingtu's whisper, though not loud, carried precisely throughout the entire dissection room.

After saying that, he straightened up, turned around and walked away expressionlessly, leaving the girl slumped on the dissection table without even glancing at her.

But as soon as he left, several cold and greedy eyes in the dissection room locked onto the mentally broken girl.

Her human identity had already been completely exposed in her earlier breakdown and screams.

The false men's eyes gleamed with lust for the living, their gazes like those of hungry wolves staring at a lamb, fixed on her as if they wanted to devour her alive.

No one will save her. This dissection room is a hunting ground, and she is already prey waiting to be dissected on the chopping block.

All that awaited her was boundless darkness and despair...

Xu Feng didn't pay attention to these minor incidents. Instead, he picked up a scalpel and began to dissect his prey with precision.

It can precisely separate adhered organs and mucous membranes, and perfectly dissect each organ.

Xu Feng's fluid and elegant movements immediately became the focus of the entire classroom.

"Truly worthy of the title 'Bloody Gentleman,' his technique for dissecting prey is captivating no matter how many times I watch it."

"Yes, yes! We pseudo-intellectuals are far inferior to the model students. The Bloody Gentleman is probably so outstanding that he could easily be elected as the freshman leader, right?"

"Hey! There are differences even among fake humans. I wish I could be as good as the Bloody Gentleman." A fake human girl said with a look of longing.

The commotion Xu Feng caused immediately attracted Teacher Mingtu's attention. He first opened his mouth wide, his face full of disbelief, then blushed with excitement:

"Perfect, absolutely perfect. You're called the Bloody Gentleman, right? My lovely and excellent student, the organs you dissect are simply mesmerizing works of art."

Xu Feng gracefully performed a gentlemanly bow, speaking neither servilely nor arrogantly:

"It is an honor for a student to receive praise from a teacher. Also, 'Bloody Gentleman' is just a nickname. The student's name is Xu Feng."

Teacher Mingtu realized his lapse in composure and immediately spoke up:

"Xu Feng, could you please entrust these artworks to my collection?"

"It is an honor for the students that these artworks have caught the teacher's eye."

"Very good, excellent! You truly are the best student I've ever seen. Here, take this scalpel. From now on, when I'm not around, you'll be the substitute anatomy teacher!"

As Teacher Mingtu spoke, he magically pulled a bloodstained scalpel from his clothes and placed it in Xu Feng's hand.

The scalpel felt cold in his hand; it was yet another artifact. So far, he had acquired three artifacts. Wasn't it said that he could only get one artifact at most in the next dungeon run?

Are only those with exceptionally extraordinary luck able to obtain two mysterious artifacts?

What the hell is this, that I directly obtained three strange artifacts?

Xu Feng raised an eyebrow slightly. The previous artifact was designed to attack ghosts, but this one was designed to attack people. How interesting.

Just then, a cold voice rang in Xu Feng's ear.

"Trigger a special hidden quest: Collect the complete set of artifacts."

"The current chosen one needs to collect five artifacts to permanently gain a bonus of 1 point of vitality and 1 point of constitution."
