Card simulation, starting with the Goblin Deserter

Hayes stood firmly on the threshold, his smile unchanged, but his eyes turned cold.

"Linda," his voice was eerily calm, "could you please move that guy making faces at your right foot away?"

"He's in the way."

Linda's expression froze instantly, and she subconsciously looked down at her right foot—there was nothing there.

A flicker of confusion and anger flashed in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared, and she spoke in a helpless tone.

"Honestly, you always say the most irrelevant things at crucial moments..."

She bent down, as if she were actually picking up something and throwing it aside, and looked at Hayes expressionlessly.

"Alright, let's go gather intelligence..."

"Oh, sorry, sorry, I misspoke. It should be my right side... which is your left foot!"

Hayes' words startled Linda. She looked at her left foot, but quickly realized that Hayes had tricked her and flew into a rage.

"How dare you play me!"

In the latter half of the sentence, "her" voice turned into the roar of a wild beast.

At the same time, Linda's face became distorted and deformed, her slender hands became thick and strong, and she even grew sharp claws.

But before she could finish transforming, Hayes slammed the classroom door shut, showing no intention of fighting her whatsoever.

Linda was stunned. She stared at the closed classroom door and let out an angry roar, but her body couldn't get any closer to the door.

All his actions were nothing but impotent rage.

Inside the classroom, Hayes listened quietly to the sounds outside the door. After confirming that "Linda" could not enter, he nodded as if he understood.

From the very beginning, the other party used the excuse of "gathering intelligence" to keep urging him to leave the classroom.

The creatures of the secret realm wouldn't do anything pointless, which means that "they" can most likely only attack him outside the classroom.

At least that's how it is for now...

"Ugh, what's wrong with me? My head hurts so much!"

In the middle of the classroom, Gentry slowly woke up, clutching his head.

He stared at Hayes in astonishment, about to say something, when the latter grabbed him by the collar without hesitation, walked to the door, opened it, and threw him out.

The whole process went smoothly, and before "Linda," who was pacing outside the door, could even react, Gentry had already fallen beside her...

"Still a headache? Do you think I've never been to a secret realm before?"

Hayes sneered, arms crossed, unmoved by Linda's screams and Gentry's cries for help outside the door.

Wu Wukai, biting his finger, asked him, "Lord Haiying, what if he's not a creature from the secret realm in disguise?"

Hayes replied casually, "Then let him die."

That was a joke; Hayes has already confirmed that the "Gentry" is also fake.

It wasn't just because of the other person's affected "My head hurts so much" comment; the more important reason was that "Linda" didn't wait for the others to wake up before rushing to take Hayes out of the classroom.

This indicates that in Linda's eyes, Hayes was the only person in the entire classroom and her target.

"Hey guys, wake up! There are fifty of us. It's exhausting to wake them all up and throw them out, okay?"

Hayes sat on the podium, looking down at all the students who were asleep in the classroom.

However, no one reacted, as if implying to Hayes that "your guess is wrong."

Hayes grew impatient: "How about we skip these boring parts?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hayes grabbed the neck of the male student closest to the podium and lifted him up like a chick.

The next second, the male student opened his eyes, and even though his face was flushed, he gave Hayes a strange smile.

"You're quite smart."

Hayes was surprised to find that he couldn't strangle the other person with his strength.

This is probably one of the rules of this secret realm.

At that moment, the remaining 49 students in the classroom all took the lead, each wearing a strange smile.

Like puppets being manipulated, the fifty students, including Hayes' male classmates, spoke at the same time, their voices deafening.

"Every coin has its other side."

Are you ready to face your other side?

Faced with a scene that would give most people goosebumps, Hayes simply raised an eyebrow.

"What riddle is Gouba telling?"

He raised his other hand and slapped the student hard across the face. The terrifying force not only knocked the student's face off but also sent two of his teeth flying out of his mouth.

In that instant, Hayes felt a slight numbness in his fingertips as a "heartbreak" memory that didn't belong to him was forcibly implanted into his mind.

It appears to be a punishment from the secret realm for his "unconventional violent behavior".

At that moment, the other 49 students in the classroom remained unmoved, merely watching him with cold smiles.

The male student who was missing two teeth turned his head, revealing a large swollen patch on one side of his face.

He repeated, his words slurred, "Prepare to face your other side..."

Snapped!clap clap clap!

A series of slaps!

Hayes only stopped when the other person's face was smashed and he could only whimper.

As he felt the increasing number of "negative memories" in his mind, he had only one thought in his mind: Is that all?

Heartbreak, failing an exam, being scolded by a teacher... can these little things really be considered negative emotions?

To know.

Aside from life and death, life is all about scratches and bruises.

The laughter of the students watching pulled Hayes out of his memory.

"It's no use, you can't kill us here."

"Can you beat everyone up like this?"

But their laughter soon faded, because Hayes, after pondering for a moment with his chin resting on his hand, asked a question in return.

"Why not?"

Hayes has plenty of strength!

Snap snap snap snap snap snap!

Snap snap snap snap snap snap...

Half an hour later, Hayes, his palms red, wiped the sweat from his temples and sat back down on the podium with a sigh of relief.

He looked with satisfaction at the 49 "pig-headed men" lying on the ground writhing in pain before him, and the nauseating riddles finally disappeared!

Now, let's start looking for the right way to pass this level!

Hayes pulled up the male classmate he had slapped at first, and said with a kind smile.

"Come, child, tell me how to clear this secret realm?"

"Waaaaah..."

The male student's sausage lips trembled, and the sounds he made were incomprehensible even to the goblins.

Hayes exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, you've got guts!"

He raised his still-warm hand and began a new round of slapping.

"Will you tell me or not! Will you tell me or not! Will you tell me or not!"

"Waaaa! Waaaaaah!"

The creature disguised as a male classmate was almost crying. I told them!

It's all my fault for beating you up like this, making it impossible for you to understand what I'm saying!

Although Hayes cannot kill the creatures in this classroom, they still feel pain. Unfortunately, due to the rules of the secret realm, they cannot attack Hayes inside the classroom!

The male student was furious...

Finally, another creature from the secret realm couldn't stand it any longer. It took out paper and pen from a drawer, wrote down what it said, and handed it to Hayes.

"Simply answer 'yes' when we ask if you're ready..."

Seeing this, Hayes was stunned. He hurriedly released his half-dead classmate and laughed awkwardly.

"Look at the mess this has made! If only you had said so earlier, it would have been fine!"

"I've been beating you guys up for ages, it's really tiring, and my head's got a whole bunch of stuff on it now..."
