The Pseudo-Human Academy: Starting with a Bricklayer Personality

Upon hearing this, Xu Feng and Yu tide exchanged a glance, then guiltily turned their heads away to avoid Hong Xia's gaze.

Her gaze avoided Hongxia's clear yet confused eyes.

The two of them certainly couldn't say they had killed Hongxia tens of thousands of times today, otherwise the little girl might be left with psychological trauma.

Ye Ningyun wisely refrained from mentioning the matter.

"It seems we won't be able to find out the number of eliminated players from Hongxia."

Li Ming pushed up his glasses, the lenses reflecting a faint white light. His tone was so flat that it revealed no emotion, yet it inexplicably carried a heavy weight.

Ye Ningyun sighed softly, her gaze sweeping over the weariness and exhaustion in everyone's eyes, her voice softening slightly:

"Everyone's had a long day, let's rest first. The game will continue in eight hours."

After a sleepless night, or perhaps a short rest, the sky finally began to lighten with the first hint of dawn.

As the first rays of sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone upon the resort island, that familiar pale blue panel popped up before everyone's eyes once more, the cold text clearly appearing:

[The game begins. If the trickster is Li Ming, please have Li Ming go to the mountaintop and wait for half an hour.]

The moment the panel disappeared, Li Ming vanished without a trace.

Yu tide stood with her arms crossed, leaning against the doorframe. Her cool gaze swept over the crowd, and she spoke with a firm tone:

"I think I know how to survive."

She paused, noticing everyone's attention, and continued:

"The way out lies in this half hour of preparation time. The tricks of the newbie dungeon, strength and speed are clearly limited, but not unrestrained."

"We'll head to the mountaintop immediately, subdue and tie up Li Ming beforehand, and then just wait quietly for sixteen hours. The dungeon will most likely be over."

Xu Feng nodded in agreement, but a sense of understanding flashed through his mind.

Uncle Mads had already thought of this method.

Uncle Ba thought that, apart from the young couple Lin Yuan and Wang Lili who had never shown up, there was nothing else.

The people present were all experienced, and even without relying on this method, they might not have gotten into trouble, which is why they didn't bring it up.

Without delay, everyone set off for the mountaintop. Upon arrival...

Li Ming was standing on the observation deck at the top of the mountain with his eyes closed, surrounded by a light gray mist, clearly still in the timing phase.

Without further ado, Xu Feng stepped forward first, and together with Ye Ningyun and Yu tide, quickly and tightly bound the unsuspecting Li Ming.

They used high-strength climbing ropes found in the villa.

The ropes were secured using a method of "wrapping the waist and abdomen together and binding the limbs separately," with the ends of each rope tied to rock anchors at the mountaintop to ensure absolute safety.

The moment the game of hide-and-seek officially began, the confusion in Li Ming's eyes faded slightly, replaced by a strange crimson glint. He struggled to speak, his voice tinged with incomprehension and questioning:

"What are you doing? We're teammates!"

Yu tide was getting annoyed by his noisy voice, so she simply took out a strip of cloth from her pocket and stuffed it into his mouth to prevent Li Ming from spreading rumors.

Sixteen hours passed slowly in tense waiting.

Li Ming was never able to break free of the ropes, nor did he undergo any strange displacement like Hong Xia did, and the people's hearts gradually calmed down.

After another night of rest, the game resumed.

A light blue panel popped up, and this time, the name of the ghost was none other than Ye Ningyun.

Seeing Ye Ningyun being quickly tied up by the crowd,

Li Ming shed his strange demeanor and regained his usual composure.

He adjusted his glasses, a thoughtful expression on his face, and slowly began to analyze:

"I guess the order in which the ghosts were chosen was from weakest to strongest."

"Among us, Hongxia is the weakest, so she is the one to act as the ghost on the first day."

"There's still no news about Lin Yuan and Wang Lili. They probably didn't make it past the first day and were eliminated."

"Then it was my turn, and now it's Ye Ningyun's turn. We haven't been able to contact Mo Nian yet, but judging from Hong Xia's condition when she was the ghost, he probably didn't escape either."

His gaze swept over everyone present, finally settling on Xu Feng and Yu tide, his tone carrying a hint of seriousness:

"If my guess is correct, the next person to become a swindler should be Yu tide."

"The strongest person will be left to act as the ghost on the last day, which is the day of reckoning for the instance."

At this point, Li Ming's expression suddenly became complicated. He looked at Xu Feng, his tone carrying a hint of uncertainty:

"Xu Feng's strength is evident to all."

"If he's the one who ends up playing the villain, can ordinary ropes still hold him?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Xu Feng, their gazes filled with curiosity, worry, and a hint of barely perceptible apprehension, awaiting his answer.

Xu Feng smiled elegantly:

"It's okay, I'll trap myself."

Meanwhile, a heated discussion broke out in the live stream room.

Testicular War God (Hua): "Given the strength of the Bloody Gentleman's Relationship BOSS, ordinary ropes probably wouldn't be able to restrain him, right?"

Bloody Gentleman is my husband (Hua): "Not only can't you trap him, but no matter how many there are, you can't trap him. If he becomes cunning, his attributes will be amplified."

Eat or not eat fried dough (Hua): "Then does that mean everyone except the Bloody Gentleman will die in this instance?"

The rebellious Lu Zhishen (Hua): "Not necessarily. If we hide well, we might still survive, right?"

Lao Da (Hua): "Kids, I'm scared to death. I'm reminded of the scene when the Bloody Gentleman was checking the dorms. If the Bloody Gentleman really is the ghost, I can't even imagine how desperate it would be if I were his teammate."

…………

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at him in astonishment, not understanding how Xu Feng intended to trap them.

At this moment, Hongxia's face was full of regret. She had originally thought that she could rely on a powerful figure to get through this dungeon, but the powerful figure turned out to be the death of her.

Soon, the sixteen hours were over, and it was time for a night's rest.

The light blue panel popped up again, and this time, the name of the ghost was Mo Nian.

A look of astonishment flashed across everyone's faces.

Mo Nian isn't dead?

Mo Nian was then teleported to the mountaintop, where the group immediately tied him up without any hesitation.

Time flew by, and just as everyone had predicted, the strange event was completed by tide.

Yu tide was very strong and broke several ropes, but with Xu Feng holding her down, nothing serious happened.

Soon, time was up, and everyone looked at Xu Feng with tense eyes.

In eight hours, it will be Xu Feng's turn to be the ghost.

Xu Feng revealed a monstrous smile, much like Tang San, and said:

"Come out, my love!"

A flash of silvery-white light appeared, and a delicate, angelic figure appeared before everyone.

In an instant, everyone stared in astonishment at Li Huaqin, who had appeared out of nowhere.

Li Huaqin held a bowl of Mapo Tofu in his hand, his cute little face expressionless, as he ate the Mapo Tofu in small bites.

"Angel, you actually took the angel out of the instance?!" Ye Ningyun exclaimed in surprise.

The live stream chat exploded with excitement.
