Whew.

Letting out a long breath, Lu Ce slowly turned around, looking at the irrational giant opposite him.

Although it was called a giant, Lu Ce didn't feel any sense of oppression from it, and its strength was far inferior to his own.

It seemed more like a pawn, released by someone behind the scenes to send some signals.

Why did it target me? Have I been exposed?

If even Xie Antong couldn't tell the difference between me and my in-game character, I doubt I'd be exposed so quickly.

It seems there are still things I don't understand...

But...

Lu Ce slightly twisted his wrist, feeling the explosive power within his body, and muttered to himself:

"Why do you insist on seeking death..."

In such a big school, the only person who could crush you, and you just had to target him?

The only troublesome issue is that this small-time Hulk's appearance has caused a sensation, and it's likely to hit the news headlines as a major social event.

If I really get involved and knock him down, it might be hard to get away cleanly.

"Aren't you going to say something? Just standing there?"

Strength is the greatest confidence, and Lu Ce wasn't nervous at all. He turned around relaxedly and asked the giant.

"The sun and moon rotate, cycles repeat..."

"I'm not asking you to say that..." Lu Ce was a bit speechless.

He could see that the giant had completely lost his mind and was likely being used by someone.

It seems like it's the problem of that organization called the "Heaven and Earth Society."

At this moment, the corridor and stairs a dozen meters away were filled with teachers and students, anxiously watching the scene.

Many were holding their phones, their expressions a mix of shock and calm, but they didn't forget to take pictures.

Seeing Lu Ce "cornered" and the crazed giant in front of him, everyone thought Lu Ce was in mortal danger.

"Run, buddy! Are you just going to stand there and wait to die?"

"Don't move! Don't make any sudden moves to provoke him!"

"..."

Various shouts erupted from the crowd, offering all sorts of irresponsible and even contradictory advice.

In the corner, the dean's phone was ringing off the hook, looking very urgent.

Xie Antong also looked at Lu Ce with some concern. She could sense that Lu Ce had deliberately isolated himself, but she wasn't sure if he could handle it.

Even if he had cleared the game, could he really manage in reality?

Lu Ce took in everyone's reactions. Suddenly, at the end of the corridor, someone dressed differently from the crowd squeezed in.

The person was wearing a red uniform, from an unknown department, looking agile. As soon as he appeared, the dean quickly approached him, as if finding a pillar of support.

Then, a voice came to Lu Ce's ear.

"Student, don't be afraid, stay calm, don't provoke him!"

"My name is Zhao Jiacheng, I'm from a relevant national department."

Lu Ce: ?

It was clear that the voice didn't come from the crowd but was right by his ear, like a sound transmission from a martial arts novel.

—Special ability, he's a player!

The first thought in Lu Ce's mind was these words. He immediately looked up at the man in the red uniform.

Lu Ce was sure it was him!

Seeing Lu Ce's gaze, the man made an OK gesture with his hand and continued the sound transmission:

"Don't panic, I'll help you. Don't provoke him, and don't move around recklessly!"

"Don't worry, I'll make sure you're safe! Relax a bit."

Actually, Zhao Jiacheng wasn't confident either, but he had no choice. He was afraid Lu Ce, a student, would lose his composure, so he had to stabilize him first.

Lu Ce said, "Okay, no problem."

Zhao Jiacheng could transmit sound, but Lu Ce couldn't. He said it out loud and even made an OK gesture towards Zhao Jiacheng in the crowd.

A large number of teachers and students instantly turned their heads, looking at Zhao Jiacheng suspiciously, and Zhao Jiacheng broke into a cold sweat.

Damn it! Why did you say it out loud!?

I told you to relax, but not that much! Do you realize you're still in danger?

The game had just begun, and Zhao Jiacheng had no experience with such sudden events.

Fortunately, the crazed giant Liu Peng had long lost his mind and didn't find anything wrong with what Lu Ce said.

Zhao Jiacheng could only awkwardly smile and start persuading.

"Liu Peng, right? Can you hear me?"

"We hope you can calm down. If you have any demands or difficulties, just say it. We are..."

Listening to these all-too-familiar words, Lu Ce pursed his lips, thinking why this classic Hong Kong movie police negotiation tactic was still so enduring. It was useless.

The other side was clearly out of their mind, wasn't it?

"The sun and moon rotate, cycles repeat."

The giant kept repeating, like a large broken record.

"The chosen one descends, the world unites!"

"I never said it couldn't unite. Why are you telling me this?" Lu Ce said impatiently.

"The world belongs to the Heaven and Earth Society!"

"Sure, sure, if you say so, it does. I never said it didn't, so what are you trying to do?" Lu Ce tried to communicate with the fool.

"The sun and moon rotate..."

Clearly, communicating with a fool failed, as the giant kept repeating.

Zhao Jiacheng's persuasion on the sidelines was completely useless. Seeing the two in the center chatting happily, he was anxious and a bit frantic.

Buddy, do you realize the seriousness of the situation?

"Don't provoke him!" Zhao Jiacheng transmitted to Lu Ce again.

But by now, Lu Ce had no intention of dragging it out. The giant was clearly brainless, and there was no point in stalling. It was better to test the situation.

"The Heaven and Earth Society is trash!"

Suddenly, Liu Peng's head snapped up, his eyes glowing red, and his killing intent locked onto Lu Ce, who dared to insult the Heaven and Earth Society.

Alright, it's basically confirmed that it's controlled by that Heaven and Earth Society, Lu Ce thought.

"No!"

In the blink of an eye, as soon as Lu Ce's provocative words left his mouth, Zhao Jiacheng shouted, but it was too late.

A fierce wind arose, the tiles underfoot exploded, and Liu Peng's massive body charged at Lu Ce like a locomotive.

Yet Lu Ce stood there, seemingly frozen in fear, not moving an inch.

Zhao Jiacheng rushed out, but as soon as he started, he knew it was too late.

It's over!

Lu Ce stood in a relaxed posture, watching as the giant's massive body completely enveloped him. He suddenly raised his head, a glint of disdain in his eyes.

His body twisted slightly, dodging the giant's heavy blow, then his left hand shot out like lightning, thumb and forefinger pinching the giant's jaw!

Crack!!
