If you slap me, the whole world will suffer the same harm.

Several couples, whose relationship was already ambiguous, sat on the edge of the bed, blushing and silent, the atmosphere so subtle it was almost explosive.

"What on earth is going on...! (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)"

The situation wasn't much better in the boys' dormitory.

When several handsome men woke up and saw the person lying next to them, their faces immediately changed from rosy to deathly pale, then to ashen, and finally to utter despair.

"No, really...(;´Д`)"

They'll probably have this psychological trauma for the rest of their lives.

Several quick-thinking individuals had already escaped through the windows, while those who reacted slowly were trapped in the corridor and chased and beaten by a group of girls.

"Don't run! Stop right there! (╬◣д◢)"

In less than an hour, hundreds of thousands of students flocked to the playground.

Angry students surrounded the principal's office building, holding up hastily written banners and chanting slogans, demanding an explanation from the principal.

"Principal, come out here! Give us an explanation!"

"What happened last night! Why did we end up like that?!"

"Su Changhe! Come out! Don't hide inside and keep quiet! (╯°Д°)╯"

The crowd was furious and was about to storm the office building.

Just then, someone noticed the lit tablet computer in the principal's office, which had an unplayed video on it.

Several students squeezed through and pressed the play button.

Su Changhe's image appeared on the screen, with the office window in the background, indicating that it was recorded in a hurry.

The old principal's expression was unusually serious, but there was a hint of guilt in his eyes that was hard to detect.

"Good morning, everyone. By the time you see this video, I will already be on my way to conduct research in another province and will not be back for a while."

"Regarding what happened last night, as the principal, I deeply understand and empathize with you."

He paused.

Then he said something that caused an uproar.

"However, this whole thing was orchestrated by Lin Chen alone, and has nothing to do with me. If you want to find someone, look for Lin Chen; he's staying in room 302 of the school hospital. Thank you, and have a nice day everyone. (￣▽￣)"

The video ends.

The playground was silent for a full three seconds.

Then it exploded.

"Lin Chen.........!!!"

The roar of hundreds of thousands of people rose in unison, creating a wave of sound that shattered the clouds in the sky.

The crowd surged from the office building to the school hospital like a tide, completely surrounding ward 302.

The angry students stormed into the ward and began punching and kicking Lin Chen, who was lying on the bed.

Some punched him directly, some smothered him with pillows, and when the girls couldn't squeeze in, they stretched out their arms to pull his hair and scratch his face. One girl even took off her high heels and hit him with them.

"Lin Chen, you bastard!"

"Give me back my innocence! (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)"

"Kill him! Kill him!"

Lin Chen huddled on the bed, covering his head, muttering as he was being hit, "Go easy, go easy, you can hit me, but don't hit my face... (;´Д`)

As the fighting went on, the group at the very front suddenly stopped.

Some people clutched their fists, some rubbed their knees, and some clutched their stomachs. Their expressions changed from anger to confusion, and from confusion to pain.

"It hurts...(;´-ι_-｀)"

A boy looked at his swollen fist and grimaced.

"Why does my hand hurt so much when I hit him?"

"My foot, my foot hurts so much! Is it broken? (;´Д`)"

Another boy who had kicked Lin Chen a few times jumped up, clutching his foot.

"I scratched his face, why does my face start to hurt too? (⊙_⊙)"

A female student touched her face and found several red marks on it, exactly in the same place as the scratches on Lin Chen's face.

A smart person was the first to realize what was happening, and his face turned pale instantly.

"Damage is shared! Hitting him is like hitting yourself! (;´Д`)"

Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately retreated three meters.

Everyone simultaneously recalled the legend that someone possessed the ability to share damage; if one person was injured, everyone else would suffer the consequences.

And now, they are in this shared harm situation.

"So... if we hit him, we'll feel pain too? (;´-ι_-｀)"

A boy said with a long face.

"right."

"Then what's the point of so many of us gathering here? (ー_ー)"

"Watching him get beaten hurts me too. Not hitting him feels stifling, but hitting him feels even more stifling. (￣へ￣)"

silence.

Then the crowd began to slowly disperse.

Before leaving, everyone who passed by Lin Chen's bedside left a message like "You wait," "I won't let you get away with this," or "Don't fall into my hands again." But that was all; no one actually did anything.

Those who had started the fight were squatting in the corridor, rubbing their bruised fists, their expressions even uglier than if they had swallowed flies.

"This guy is like a hedgehog... no, even hedgehogs aren't this outrageous. (;´-ι_-｀)"

A few handsome guys stood in the corner, looking dazed and not saying a word.

They weren't very lucky last night; their match was... well, it's hard to describe.

There was a man squatting in the corner, constantly muttering, "Ru Hua, Ru Hua, why is he Ru Hua?" The people around him felt sorry for him and couldn't bear to hurt him anymore.

"...Please accept my condolences. (ー_ー)"

Lin Chen peeked out from under the covers, looked at his face covered in red marks from being scratched, and then at the dozen or so notifications that popped up on the system panel.

"Minor injury was detected. Since the value is below the threshold, it will not be included in the abuse value."

"Minor injury was detected. Since the value is below the threshold, it will not be included in the abuse value."

"Detected..."

"I got beaten up all day, but my 'masochism level' didn't increase at all. What a loss! (￣へ￣)"

Lin Chen sighed.

Outside the door, the Shadow Department teacher responsible for protecting Lin Chen stood expressionless.

One of the beautiful teachers looked down at her hand, which had been groped when she held Lin Chen down yesterday, and wiped it without saying a word.

Another teacher muttered under his breath, "The principal ran away, and this kid is getting all the blame. We have to protect him 24/7. What kind of situation is this? (;´-ι_-｀)

"Never mind, it's all for the school."

Just when Lin Chen thought he could finally lie down in peace for a while, the system notification sounded again.

"Ding! Friendly reminder: The side effects of the Body Tempering Pill will last for 24 hours. There are still 6 hours left before the side effects end. During this period, the host may still experience intermittent emotional instability. Please take precautions."

Lin Chen's smile froze again.

"...What did you just say?! (;´Д`)"

As soon as he finished speaking, the ward door was pushed open, and a female teacher walked in to check on his condition.

Lin Chen's eyes began to involuntarily drift towards places he shouldn't be looking at.

A helpless voice came from outside the door: "It's happening again! Quick, hold him down!"

The sound of ping-pong balls echoed again in ward 302 of the school hospital, mixed with Lin Chen's screams and the female teacher's embarrassed and angry rebukes.

"Lin Chen, let go...!"

"I didn't want this either! It's a side effect! It's all the side effect's fault...! (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)"
