When he heard the name Shi Hui, Sunny Xu, who had originally planned to ignore the commotion outside and prepare for today's lessons, subconsciously put down his book and stood up from his seat.

He would never forget this name, especially when the other two delinquent boys who had entered the haunted house, Yan Mingjun and Wang Nana, were both possessed by demons and met a tragic end. Only the current situation of this person was still unknown.

Sunny Xu didn't think this guy had a chance to escape, but he needed to know his whereabouts.

He glanced at the back of the classroom, and sure enough, Starry Lin stood up as well, her gaze also looking towards him.

Sunny Xu nodded silently, and the two of them left the classroom one after the other.

...

The corridor was filled with voices.

The students were excitedly whispering to each other, tiptoeing and looking inside. The scene was even more lively than a weekend market.

This was partly because the noise from Class 5 had never stopped. It started with the sound of tables and chairs being knocked over, followed by angry shouts and curses, and finally... it turned into crying.

Everyone could see that several girls were crying, and there was the weak voice of a boy begging for mercy.

"Someone come quick! Shi Hui made people cry!"

If the people who were shouting at the beginning were just curious, their emotions were clearly starting to panic now. It seemed that someone had witnessed a scene that was beyond their psychological tolerance.

There was a commotion in the center of the crowd, as if someone had realized that something was not right. Only the shouts of "Someone come quick!" continued, and the atmosphere gradually became uneasy.

"Excuse me, can you please make way?"

The students at the back of the crowd heard a soft voice coming from behind and turned their heads to see a girl standing there.

The girl had shoulder-length short hair, wearing a light-colored headband decorated with petals. Her bangs were neatly cut. She looked like a quiet and elegant young lady. There was a gentle smile on her face, with curved eyebrows, a straight and delicate nose, and a pair of pearly white teeth peeking out from between her slightly reddened lips. She was a girl who could easily make people have a good impression of her at first sight.

One of the boys from Class 5 happily shouted, "Class monitor, you're here!"

"What's happening over there?"

The girl walked into the crowd, and the people nearby instinctively made way for her.

"Shi Hui... he's going around hitting people like crazy. Several people who tried to stop him were beaten and bleeding! We wanted to find someone for help, but the teachers haven't shown up, and we couldn't find anyone in the office..."

"The teachers are having a meeting right now." the class monitor replied, "I've already asked someone in the office to call for help."

"But... what should we do now?" the boy cried, "Class monitor, you didn't see it, Shi Hui is really fierce this time, he won't stop at all!"

"It's okay, help is on the way." the class monitor comforted in a gentle tone, "I saw so many people gathered here from a distance and felt that something was not right, so I directly called the security department from the office."

"That's great." the other person finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Luckily, you reacted quickly, class monitor..."

"Seigetsu, you're here!"

A few close female friends ran to the class monitor's side, one of them already in tears from being scared.

The class monitor patted her friends' arms and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I'll go and see what's going on."

"It's very dangerous, Seigetsu. That guy is like a madman..." one of them worriedly tried to dissuade her, "Maybe you shouldn't go over there?"

The girl just smiled and shook her head, walking towards Class 5 with determined steps.

...

The people behind were crowded together, but there was an empty circle in the corridor in front of Class 5.

The class monitor looked around.

In addition to Shi Hui, who had a strange smile on his face in the center, there were three other boys. One of them was sitting weakly against the wall, another was squatting next to him checking the situation, and the last one was simply holding his head and crouching there. There were also several broken chairs scattered on the ground.

Most of the students naturally stayed in the classroom. But the scene inside the window was also a mess: desks that had been knocked over, chairs that had been thrown under the blackboard, and books scattered all over the floor.

The class monitor keenly noticed that there were dents on the blackboard and the back door, as if they had been hit by force. She even... saw blood, dripping on the floor near the exit.

It was indeed an unusual scene, the class monitor thought, no wonder the students were scared.

...Yes, scared.

Compared to the students from other classes who were crowded behind, the students from Class 5 had witnessed everything that had just happened with their own eyes.

The high school students sitting in the classroom had lost their usual smiles on their faces, replaced by fear, hesitation, and anxiety. Some covered their heads with books, some secretly looked out of the window, and everyone looked uneasy.

From the miserable signs both inside and outside the room, the girls could vaguely glimpse the brief and intense situation.

More than one person had resorted to violence, but there was only one winner, and the methods used were extremely brutal.

They had seen campus bullying before, which was quite common: Shi Hui and his gang were the main force in this regard, deliberately tripping you during morning exercises, "accidentally" hitting you on the head with a basketball, or "accidentally" knocking over the things on your desk as they passed by... The victims often just endured it.

But, like what happened earlier, directly punching and kicking, or using chairs to hit people until they couldn't get up, hitting them until blood splattered, that was a different story.

For the children who had been studying peacefully in school for the past ten years, just seeing someone being beaten until they bled was enough to make them panic.

"Class monitor, you're here."

Shi Hui turned his head and saw the girl with short hair approaching, smiling and greeting her.

The class monitor ignored him and went straight to the student lying on the ground, squatting down beside him and asking softly:"Are you okay?"

"...Um, I..."

The injured boy's face was pale, still looking a bit shaken.

There were bruises on his face and arms, but the most severe was his exposed thigh, which was bloody and horrifying. The bloodstains on the ground were likely from this wound.

The class leader carefully examined it and breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily, it didn't hit the bone, but a chunk of flesh was torn off, which looked terrifying.

But the wound was still bleeding, and it would be dangerous if it continued like this. He needed to be taken to the hospital as soon as possible.

"I'll bandage you up."

The class leader acted decisively. Her gaze turned to another boy.

"Can I borrow your shirt?"

The other boy was stunned and quickly took off his shirt. He was at a loss, as not everyone knew first aid. Just seeing such a terrifying wound made him panic.

"Don't worry, class leader. I held back," Shi Hui said from behind. "I just wanted to play with them, but who knew they couldn't take a beating? They deserved it for charging at me like that."

The short-haired girl quickly performed emergency measures for the boy. She estimated that the security guards would arrive soon, so she stood up and turned to Shi Hui, speaking softly:

"Shi Hui, did you have a reason to be so ruthless?"

"Not really, maybe I just didn't like the way they looked at me," Shi Hui shrugged. Then his gaze shifted to the boy lying on the ground. "I mean, can't you guys be polite to me? It's your own fault for getting beaten up when you have no eyes."

The injured boy's lips trembled, and his friends beside him wore expressions of anger mixed with fear. No one could refute him.

The class leader sighed inwardly. She knew that these few people had been bullied by Shi Hui and his gang before. This time, it was probably Shi Hui who provoked them first, and they couldn't help but fight back.

But reasoning with this guy in front of her was obviously useless.

"Stop it, the security guards are here."

The class leader said.

"Let them come, I'm not afraid," Shi Hui sneered. He even wanted to continue walking towards the two of them, not knowing what he planned to do.

The class leader calmly took a step to the side, blocking his way.

Shi Hui stopped. His gaze traveled up and down the girl, and a slightly ferocious smile slowly appeared on his face.

"Do you think I won't hit a girl?"

The class leader didn't say anything.

When the other person approached, she realized that Shi Hui's condition was a bit off. His face was covered in bulging veins, his eyes were bloodshot, shining like a nocturnal beast.

No wonder several classmates said he was crazy. She thought that this guy really looked like he had escaped from a mental institution.

"I usually don't confront you head-on, after all, the teachers are on your side. If I really offend you, it will be a bit troublesome... But now it's different. I've done something like this. Do you think I'm still afraid?"

At this point, Shi Hui seemed to find it ridiculous. He tilted his head back and laughed, his voice hoarse like an old man's.

"You shouldn't have been afraid of me in the first place," the class leader calmly replied. "Among classmates, we should help and support each other, have a harmonious and friendly relationship. I don't need to be afraid of you, and you don't need to be afraid of me. And as for them..."

As the girl spoke, her gaze swept across the faces of the students looking in from the window, the boys in the corridor, and the students gathered not far away.

The class leader saw clear fear and retreat in their eyes, but her own face still wore a calm smile.

"—There is no reason to be afraid of you either."

"You're still lecturing me here. It seems like you really haven't received any education from society," Shi Hui said, no longer laughing. The red threads in his pupils had spread throughout his irises, his breathing became rapid, and his expression became even more ferocious.

"But, I won't hit you. After all, beautiful girls are meant to be cherished..."

"How does it feel?"

Sunny Xu whispered to the girl beside him, standing behind the crowd.

"He has the smell of those bugs on him, it's obvious," Starry Lin replied.

"But I can't see them."

Sunny furrowed his brows.

"Mm." Starry nodded. "In that case, it means the monster is inside him."

The two times they had encountered the bug monsters, it was more accurate to say that they were intertwined with the person rather than attached to them. They looked like they were possessed.

Starry also mentioned that she had seen the bug monster sucking on Wang Nana's head, similar to how flies feed in biology class. It was disgusting and eerie, indicating that these monsters fed on something inside the human body...

But Shi Hui's situation was different. The entire bug seemed to be lurking inside him, without any visible abnormalities from the outside. So Little An could "smell the scent," but couldn't see it from the outside.

Sunny wasn't sure what this state indicated, but there was one difference that was particularly noticeable: Shi Hui's behavior and actions were more like those of a normal person, unlike Wang Nana or Yan Mingjun.

The appearance of Huang Mao struggling in pain as the bug monster devoured him looked abnormal even to a normal person's eyes, which was why he was sent to the hospital as if he had an epileptic seizure.

"...If this continues, Seigetsu Zhu might be in danger," Sunny murmured as he watched the class leader of Class 5 push through the crowd and confront Shi Hui.As for the "big shots" in the Fifteenth Middle School, Sunny Xu, being a transfer student, couldn't really relate. He might have heard some names, but couldn't match them with faces, and he had no interest in focusing on this. The only exception was Starry Lin, who lived nearby.

"Is it because she's pretty?"

Starry Lin squinted unconsciously.

"Part of the reason might be that. I have a bit of face blindness, only when the memory of someone's appearance is deep enough, can I link the name with the face."

Sunny Xu answered honestly.

"Any other reasons?"

"...Well, you know I came second in the last monthly exam, right?"

"Yes."

"The first place was hers."

Sunny Xu pointed to the back of the short-haired girl.

"So there's someone who studies harder than you."

Starry Lin was a bit surprised. She thought for a moment and asked again:

"So, you want to help her?"

"I can't just stand by and watch her being bullied by such scum, can I?"

Sunny Xu answered subconsciously.

"Alright."

The girl's response was as straightforward as ever. She turned around and shouted out loud:

"Hey, Shi Hui! Get over here!"

Suddenly, everyone's attention was drawn to them, and the crowd's gaze fell on the two of them.

This naturally included Shi Hui.

He paused, his hand that was about to reach out to Seigetsu Zhu dropped, and his mouth widened even more.

"Do the two beauties of Fifteenth Middle School want to accompany me? That would be more than perfect."

Shi Hui didn't hesitate and strode over.

His tall and robust figure for a high school student, along with the hint of madness on his face, gave his actions an intimidating aura. The onlooking students instinctively made way, some even hurriedly hid back in the classroom.

The crowd in the corridor parted like a river, revealing a flat path in the middle.

Shi Hui's strides grew larger, to the onlookers, it seemed as if he was about to take flight. Everyone could only stare blankly as he ran across the corridor.

Only the two people standing at the end of this path didn't move. The long-haired girl not only showed no signs of backing down, but she even charged towards him.

"I let you escape once before, this time..."

"I'll smash your mouth first!"

Starry Lin had no patience to listen to his words. When they were less than two or three meters apart, she swung a punch directly at his face.

"Bang!"

Accompanied by a dull echo, Shi Hui, who had run all the way, was sent flying backward, even spinning in the air; his facial bones deformed under the intense impact, several teeth flew out of his mouth, mixed with the blood and flesh that sprayed out, splattering on the ground.

...

Standing behind, Sunny Xu quietly watched this astonishing scene, not feeling surprised at all.

Because he knew very well, his friend always did what she said, if she said she would smash someone's face, she would really do it.
