The apocalypse begins with a dungeon game.

"Baijie Hotel?" The younger sister murmured the name, her smile not reaching her eyes.

That's right.

"I'm not very familiar with it. After all, I work here all the time and don't have much time to go out and explore. Compared to you, I'm sure you've visited more places in your free time."

[Alright, that's alright. I think you might change your mind after you meet with them later. As for the Lower City people we mentioned earlier who have awakened like you, hopefully you can gather them together in the meantime.]

Although the two had laid out many secrets, they still had things to hide and were secretly playing a game of wits.

"I can only agree to half of your conditions. After all, you can't judge a book by its cover. The people I bring to negotiate with you are definitely people I trust. Since you chose to come to me in the first place, perhaps it means you don't know much about the others?"

【Haha, anything is fine, as long as you can align yourself with our side, we don't care about anything else. You can arrange it privately, giving you maximum personal space.】

"In that case, I think there's no need for us to linger here any longer. Let's go." Beneath her enigmatic exterior, Feng Tian seemed to have made contact with her people outside, and now she stood up and made her decision.

Li Lan, the younger sister, asked curiously, "Where should we meet?"

【Happy Playground, let's play an escape room game!】A comment appeared above Feng Tian's head.

Li Can only switched her focus back to the school bus on her side after she watched the two figures walk out of the gate.

It seems his guess was pretty accurate. Based on their conversation, he could tell that the strange people around him were the same group as his sister.

There is no power struggle between the two groups of Upper City residents.

If that's the case, then he will probably meet his sister and himself in a way that neither of them would expect.

As for how his sister's identity was exposed and she was noticed by the people of the upper city, he had a rough idea in his mind.

It was probably during the first night when the younger sister strangled the indigenous women who were to be paraded through the streets.

Although they had done everything extremely discreetly, even storing the bizarrely disposed corpses in their empty gashapon capsules, they were still discovered.

However, from another perspective, every cloud has a silver lining. Analyzing the future development of the entire event now may not necessarily be a bad thing.

On the contrary, it might be a good thing, saving me from having to find a way to involve my sister and Wang Defa in the activities of these people from the upper city in the future.

They're now taking matters into their own hands, which makes things much easier for them.

After all, it was their initiative.

"Dad, what are you looking at? You're so engrossed in it, you're not even playing with me." Xing Tiantian floated in the air on the school bus, not worried at all about falling over from the bumps.

At first, it stayed next to the school bus driver, Zhou Ye, the two of them, one big and one small, talking to each other at the front of the bus, muttering to themselves for a while.

While keeping an eye on her sister's situation, Li Can knew that Zhou Ye was trying to get information out of Tian Tian by using her as a pretext.

He didn't care about that and let them negotiate.

It wasn't until Xing Tiantian completely lost her patience that she ran back to his side, sometimes fiddling with his hair, sometimes snuggling her dark green body into his arms like a little pig.

"Look at the scenery by the roadside. Have you been good at school? Why did it take you so long to get home? Your mom said something happened at school and you were delayed. What happened?" Li Can helplessly straightened Xing Tiantian's body so that it was no longer clinging to her and looked at it face to face.

[A teacher at the school has gone mad. He killed many students and teachers. Everyone is busy hunting down that bad teacher. The principal has closed the entire school, and no one is allowed to go home.] Xing Tiantian's eerie body showed no expression, but there were faint signs of fear trembling within her.

Li Can didn't know how long it had been acting strangely, or when the original "Xing Dazhuang" and Huang Xiaoqi had sent it out of the city.

But judging from its current performance, it still looks like a naive child, as if it has not been assimilated by this world at all.

There was no trace of evil on him.

Looking at it like this, Li Can couldn't help but ponder, "Could it be that the time it takes for the Lower City people to retain their free will after molting and transforming into monsters varies from person to person? The more severe the pollution from evil, the faster the mutation, until they lose themselves and become tools and puppets of the Upper City people..."

It seems that's how it should be.

After thinking about it, Li Can guessed that the "bad teacher" mentioned by Xing Tiantian in the comments was probably a new player entering the instance, or at least not a superhuman from the first base.

There's a high probability it's an individual player.

Unable to accept that they needed to earn 666 million coins to leave the city and the instance, they began the massacre.

Or perhaps there's another reason behind it all. Maybe he was facing a life-threatening crisis and couldn't hide himself or play the role of a "teacher" properly. In desperation, he had no choice but to take action.

"Oh my god, that's terrible! Is Tian Tian hurt?" Li Can asked him with concern.

It was all an act, but the acting was so good that there were no obvious flaws.

[Every day I'm just hiding. My mom told me that if I encounter danger, I should protect myself first, and only help others when I have the strength to do so.]

I'm still a child, and I don't have many abilities yet. I need to be good. If I get hurt, Mom and Dad will be very sad. I'm the pillar of our family, but I also need to know how to act appropriately!

So, I found the other kids who went to school with me, and we hid together. All my classmates were safe, and even the teacher praised me afterwards.

Li Can was quite shocked to hear Xing Tiantian, who was hiding behind the strange skin, say this.

Huang Xiaoqi really raised this child very well; at least his values ​​and worldview are very positive.

Admittedly, although Huang Xiaoqi has been immersed in the atmosphere of the lower city since adulthood and can be a bit shrewish when she encounters problems, she is still a very good person at heart.

Her true nature can be seen from the moment she showed concern for Shen Yuan and wanted to protect her.

By the same token, what about "Xing Dazhuang," who used to hold the position of father in this family...?

It is truly remarkable to survive in such an environment.

Li Can was sitting in the second row behind the school bus driver, Zhou Ye.

Yang Mo's strangeness and Shen Yuan were beside him.

Hearing the conversation between the father and son, Yang Mo was moved and listened very carefully, turning his body to the side.

"We're great every day, we did a great job!" Li Can praised it a few times, this time sincerely.

"So, what happened to that crazy, bad teacher in the end? Were they caught?"

Before Xing Tiantian could speak, Zhou Ye, who was driving, cut in front of him.

"They caught him, but he's already dead. His body has been dumped in a mass grave. It's such a pity that a perfectly healthy person suddenly went mad."
