Excessive ferocity due to caution

Soon, Zhao Yi found an interesting person in a file.

—Chen Qiong.

This person is a top student in their first year of high school, Class 8, and has consistently ranked first in the grade.

He was still first in his grade in the weekly test before he was expelled.

The reason for expulsion was early romantic relationships.

"A top student who would have brought great honor to the school in the future was expelled because of early romantic relationships."

Zhao Yi's tone was meaningful.

Yang Linlin, who was standing nearby, leaned over and glanced at it, her expression strange.

"Does the school have a rule about expelling students for dating in early relationships?"

Zhao Yi replied:

"I've probably gone through all the backup files of students who have been disciplined here, and he's the only one who was expelled for dating too early."

"Such an outstanding student wouldn't normally be expelled for having a romantic relationship, unless..."

Zhao Yi stopped, as if he had thought of something.

"Unless what?"

Yang Linlin was curious.

"Unless, during his early romantic relationship, he offended someone he absolutely couldn't afford to offend."

"It could be his childhood sweetheart, or it could be his rival, but I personally lean more towards the latter. After all, someone with such excellent grades must have a strong sense of self-esteem. If he were rejected by his childhood sweetheart, he probably wouldn't keep pestering her."

"Moreover, puppy love is a matter between two people. Look at these files—whenever someone is punished, both people are punished at the same time, not just one person."

"Chen Qiong from our class is the only exception."

"This shows that his competitor has a very powerful background. He not only put pressure on the school and expelled Chen Qiong, but also protected the girl he liked."

"We need to investigate Chen Qiong's case; perhaps we'll find some good leads."

Zhao Yi found what he was looking for, carefully collected the file, and put it back in its original place.

Where can I check?

"Our phones were issued by the school, so they can't connect to the internet; we can only set alarms."

"If we absolutely have to talk about internet access, we can only go to a server room."

Zhao Yi replied:

"It's going to the computer room."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Linlin's eyes widened, and she stared intently at what was behind Zhao Yi.

A murderous aura permeated the air, penetrating through the skin and flesh and directly reaching Zhao Yi's bone marrow!

With his back to the door, Zhao Yi instantly understood what had happened from Yang Linlin's horrified expression!

The principal... came back early!

In an instant, the paint on the walls of the entire house began to peel off, revealing blood-red flesh underneath!

Countless black beetles emerged from the wall plaster and surged toward the doorway, completely blocking it with their flesh and blood!

In a short period of time, the two of them had become sitting ducks!

"You...all...deserve to die..."

"They all... deserve to die!"

"Damn it!"

The venomous voice came from the principal's mouth, but it wasn't the voice of a middle-aged man; rather, it belonged to... a teenager.

Without even thinking, Zhao Yi pulled a property certificate from his inventory, turned around, stared at the principal's shadowy figure, and loudly asked:

Are you Chen Qiong?

"We're here to investigate the truth!"

"What exactly happened between you and your mother back then?"

Upon hearing the word "truth," the shadowy figure suddenly clutched his head and howled!

The piercing and terrifying sound made the two of them dizzy and their eardrums bleed!

At this moment, Yang Linlin's mental value began to drop rapidly, while Zhao Yi's mental value remained as stable as a rock, but he could clearly feel his life slipping away!

"I...I am...I am...I am not..."

"Chen Qiong... Mother... Zhang Ya... Pang Xiao..."

"ah!!!"

Finally, the shadowy figure roared to the sky, its brain exploding open, revealing numerous tentacles covered in sharp spikes!

It writhes wildly like an eel, making viewers' SAN value plummet!

Yang Linlin, who had already taken out a hunting rifle from her inventory, saw this scene and immediately sat down on the ground, unable to hold the gun steady!

What the hell is that monster?

The principal's shadowy figure walked towards the two of them step by step, forcing them into a corner. Yang Linlin's mouth was wide open, and her legs were shaking like a leaf.

"Zhao Yi, run! I'll hold it off!"

She raised her gun to shoot, but Zhao Yi kicked her hard in the chest, sending her sliding several meters away like a slippery chicken!

At the same time, Zhao Yi himself dodged in another direction!

The next moment, several sharp spikes suddenly appeared where the two had just been!

Black pus was seeping from the spikes, hissing and emitting thick smoke, clearly indicating that they were highly corrosive!

call!

Almost simultaneously, a thick tentacle with sharp spikes lashed out at Zhao Yi with incredible speed, creating a sonic boom!

If that blow lands squarely, Zhao Yi will die on the spot!

With Zhao Yi's current reaction speed, there's no way he could dodge this attack!

At the critical moment, a gunshot rang out, and the principal let out a howl, forced to stop the attack and take two steps back!

It's Yang Linlin!

Her hands trembled like leaves, she bit her lip tightly, and gripped the shotgun tightly!

Ordinary guns are basically ineffective against ghosts, but the impact force of the bullets helped Zhao Yi deflect this fatal attack!

"You'd better get out of here!"

"I'll cover you!"

Yang Linlin screamed like a madwoman, and fired two more shots at the principal, causing him to freeze!

Seeing the principal in a state of slight stiffness, Zhao Yi's eyes flashed with a crimson light, and he actually rolled towards the principal, greatly closing the distance between them!

This crazy move left Yang Linlin speechless!

Is he an idiot?

You risked your life to create an opportunity for him, and instead of running away, this guy went and delivered himself to the enemy!

Isn't this just giving it away for free?!

Zhao Yi approached the principal, quickly pulled out a property certificate, and pointed it directly at the principal!

At the same time, the tentacle that swung down again reached the top of Zhao Yi's head!

The whip was only one centimeter away from his forehead!

If it were just one centimeter more, Zhao Yi's head would be smashed like a rotten watermelon!

But at this moment, the principal remained motionless, frozen in place, like a wooden figure!

……

[Item: Old Liu's property ownership certificate (now unsealed)]

[Quality: Green]

[Brief Introduction: The culmination of an old worker's life's work.]

[Effect: Forcibly seals one monster within five meters for ten seconds. Cooldown: 1 day]

……

The moment the principal's shadowy figure came to a stop, Zhao Yi turned around and grabbed Yang Linlin, and the two of them frantically fled outside!

ten seconds.

They only had ten seconds in total!

Every second determined their life or death!

Still in shock, Yang Linlin glanced back at the completely motionless principal. As Zhao Yi passed by the door, he even stabbed the monster!

The knife tip pierced the heart of the principal's shadowy figure.

But that won't kill this powerful monster!

Of course, Zhao Yi didn't intend to kill it with one blow; he just wanted to collect some interest on the side!

Reaching the door, Yang Linlin raised her shotgun and fired two shots at the lock, which was covered in black insects!

The door opened.

The two fled into the darkness of the corridor without looking back...
