“Ling Yue and Qi Ye, you two are here, huh? And who is this?” Hong Ying happened to pass by at this moment and saw Li Yifei laughing wildly, which made her feel a little scared.

Seeing that Li Yifei hadn't moved, Ling Yue stepped forward and slapped him hard on the head. "What the hell's wrong with you? Are you possessed?"

Li Yifei felt the pain in his head from Ling Yue's blows and realized that it was not a hallucination.

"Brother Yue? Qi Ye, what are you doing here?"

"And Qi Ye, didn't you say you went to sign up for the army? So that's what you meant by signing up for this army!" Li Yifei finally came to his senses and looked at Ling Yue and Qi Ye in front of him.

Li Yifei was about to say something when Hongying, who had picked up a walkie-talkie, interrupted him. "Stop talking for now. The captain needs to see us. Oh, and bring this kid along too." Hongying looked at Li Yifei, who seemed a little out of sorts, and thought it best to keep an eye on him just to be safe.

"Okay, let's go."

The group led Li Yifei back to the conference room, but thankfully there was no laughter inside this time, otherwise Chen Muyi and Wu Xiangnan would have been in real trouble.

'Was it just my imagination after all?' Li Yifei was relieved to see that no laughter came from inside the door. It must have been his imagination, and how could the Night Watch organization possibly laugh at someone else?!

"Huh? Why is this kid here again?" Chen Muye looked at Li Yifei following behind Ling Yue and suddenly felt a little guilty. He thought that Li Yifei had discovered that he and Wu Xiangnan had been mocking him.

Fortunately, Hongying's words dispelled Chen Muyi and Wu Xiangnan's suspicions: "Captain, when I came in, I saw this little brother laughing loudly in front of Ling Yue and the others. Then I suspected that he was mentally unstable, so I brought him in."

'Thank goodness, it's good that they didn't discover anything and come in on their own.' Chen Muye's heart was filled with complicated emotions. He was afraid that Li Yifei would find out that they were laughing at him, but he was also afraid that Li Yifei would go insane because of this...

"Ahem, we called you here because of Li Yifei." Wu Xiangnan's words interrupted Chen Muyi's random thoughts.

"Li Yifei, tell me about what happened to you after school." Wu Xiangnan gestured for Li Yifei to repeat himself.

Li Yifei did not disappoint him, and continued to tell his story vividly: "I forgot to take my homework after school, and then... I quickly ran out."

It has to be said that Li Yifei truly lives up to his reputation as a full-time nanny; he knows a little bit about everything. Even describing what happened can be told in a vivid and engaging way.

"Xiangnan, what do you think?" Chen Muye, who had closed his eyes since Li Yifei began telling the story, asked the question at the end.

'I bet you weren't listening carefully!' Wu Xiangnan inwardly complained to Chen Muye, but still analyzed seriously, 'If this matter is true, then it's 100% likely to involve the mysterious. And the level of terror in the mysterious is not low!'

Wu Xiangnan spoke highly of this matter, saying, "Imagine someone who can eat people, and whose victims can be regurgitated without any abnormalities. This ability is incredibly difficult to detect."

At this moment, Hongying's eyes lit up. "Then why don't we just chop Liu Xiaoyan up!" Hongying's eyes shone with wisdom, and she felt that she was incredibly clever.

“It’s not that simple.” Lin Qiye, who was sitting on the other side, suddenly spoke up and analyzed, “Since it can infect others, we can’t be sure if Liu Xiaoyan is its original body… Moreover, we don’t know if the original body dies, will the people it infects also die?”

Lin Qiye's eyes were very serious. He had realized that this matter was not easy to handle, and since Li Yifei had already discovered one case, the number of infected people must be quite large, which meant that the death toll must also be high!

"Seven Nights is right. The difficulty of this matter lies in the fact that we do not know where the source of this strange infection route is. It's like when we go to kill zombies, if we can't find the mother, then even if we kill all the other child zombies, it's useless, because the mother will continue to kill people and infect new child zombies!"

Wu Xiangnan continued his analysis: "Furthermore, we don't know how long this mythical creature has existed or how many people it has infected. Liu Xiaoyan could be its first infected person, or it could be its hundredth or thousandth!"

“We should even prepare for the worst…” Wu Xiangnan’s eyes were grave.

"The worst-case scenario?" Hongying still didn't realize the seriousness of the situation.

"That means the entire Second High School has become a monster school! And it's not just the school; many people in the community have also been infected!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yifei couldn't help but shudder, his hair standing on end! "You... what do you mean?"

Wu Xiangnan slowly stood up, looking directly into Li Yifei's eyes, "Have you ever thought about—"

"In this school you're in, everyone except you—the teachers, classmates...—are all monsters in disguise!?"

"No! In fact, you, who are already standing here... have already been eaten and then spat out by the monster without even realizing it!!"

Li Yifei's pupils suddenly contracted, and he felt a chill rush from the soles of his feet straight to his brain, leaving his mind completely blank!

"No!" Ling Yue stood up and retorted.

A spark of hope ignited in Li Yifei's heart, hoping Ling Yue could offer some points to refute Wu Xiangnan's words. However, what Ling Yue said next almost made him faint!

"Be bold! Do you think it's possible that even we were infected by the monsters when the mist descended upon the world, but we just didn't know it!"

"Or rather, in the whole world, we have already discovered the truth of the matter, and those who know the truth often die a terrible death..." Ling Yue slowly began to speak, and without anyone noticing, he had already played a terrifying piece of music, and the atmosphere around them suddenly became eerie!

"Hiss~" Everyone present, including Lin Qiye, Chen Muye, Wu Xiangnan, Hong Ying, Si Xiaonan, and Wen Qimo, gasped in shock!

At this moment, Si Xiaonan tightly hugged Hongying's waist with both hands and buried her head in Hongying's chest.

Fortunately, Wen Qimo realized what was happening: "Alright, stop scaring yourselves. If it were really that bad, the [Crow of Calamity] would have crowed already. Since it hasn't made a move yet, it means the situation isn't that dangerous."

However, Ling Yue continued to retort, "Since the entire world has already been infected, this [Crow of Calamity] might not be of any use. Besides, what if it crows now, and the Night Watch headquarters sends people to arrest us?!"

"Arrest us? Why are you arresting us?" Hongying was still confused.

Ling Yue persisted in trying to explain, "The higher-ups of the Night Watch were already infected by the monsters, and they invented the [Crow of Calamity] to observe those who have discovered the truth. Once they discover something, it will crow. At that point, it won't be clear whether what arrives is a monster or a human..."

"Hiss~!" Hongying was so frightened that goosebumps rose all over her body.

"Wow!!" Si Xiaonan hugged Hongying tightly around the waist and buried her head in Hongying's broad chest.

"Ahem, Ling Yue. Don't scare them. This whole thing is completely unfounded." Chen Muye noticed the strange atmosphere around them and quickly gave Ling Yue a meaningful look.

Ling Yue understood. "Ahem, I was just trying to scare you, don't mind it..."
