Boys' Dormitory - Ongoing Discussions
"Did you watch Xian Moumou's live stream?" someone asked.
"No, what happened?"
"There was a guy downstairs doing a face-changing act. You didn't see him?"
"Yeah, I caught that part. What happened after?"
"That guy came here to kill Su Tu! He even threatened to wipe out everyone in our school in half an hour if Su Tu doesn't show up."
"Are you serious? Is that guy really that strong? Can't all the awakened people in our school gang up on him?"
"Apparently, he's a Level 3 Awakened with a 2-star strength rating."
"Ah, no wonder he's acting so cocky."
"I heard Su Tu is going to fight him on the lawn in five minutes. I'm heading to the top floor to get a good view."
"Same, I'm coming too!"
Girls' Dormitory, Room 202
Mina's delicate face showed worry. "Su Tu's going to duel with that face-changing guy. Should we go help him?"
Ruoruo immediately responded, "Of course! With so many awakened people, there's no way we can't take him down."
Orange, sitting quietly in a chair with her eyes closed, was using her hearing talent to gather information from afar. Nako spoke up, "The worst-case scenario is that Su Tu loses. If that happens, this guy might go on a killing spree and wipe out everyone in the school."
Mina nodded slightly. "That's what I'm worried about too. The thing is, I don't know Su Tu's true strength right now."
Nazi added, "Xian told me this morning that Su Tu's stronger than him, but it's hard to gauge his exact power."
Mina, growing more anxious, stood up. "No matter what, I'm going downstairs to help him."
Ruoruo smiled. "Mina, I thought you were joking earlier, but it seems like you really care about Su Tu."
Mina blushed and tried to make an excuse. "If something happens to Su Tu, our supplies will be ruined. Plus, the whole school could be in danger."
Ruoruo chuckled. "Alright, let's go. I'll join you."
Boys' Dormitory, Room 305
Liang Fu stared in shock at the crushed phone on the ground. With that kind of strength, if he squeezed a person's arm, it would definitely shatter.
Liang sighed in relief and walked over to Xian Moumou. "Are you okay, brother?" he asked, concerned.
Xian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "Don't worry. I'm not dead yet."
Cai Cheng, visibly trembling, muttered, "Brother Su is going to duel that face-changing guy... what should we do?"
Xian gritted his teeth. "I'm going to help Brother Su!"
As he tried to stand, pain shot through his stomach. The punch from earlier still hurt.
Liang Fu tried to reassure him. "We have to trust Brother Su. Maybe he can beat this guy. Didn't you say Su Tu had a chance? Maybe he's used spar training to get stronger."
Xian, weakened, nodded. "I hope so. I really hope Brother Su can win."
Boys' Dormitory - Top Floor
A crowd had gathered, all of them staring toward the lawn below.
"Look! There are two big monkeys at the entrance!" someone shouted.
"Where did those monkeys come from?" another asked.
"Look out, those are killer monkeys!" a man yelled.
As it turned out, Fat Boy, realizing what had happened, decided that fleeing was his best option. He tried to escape through the west wall of the boys' dormitory. But just as he climbed over the fence and jumped down, a demon monkey bit him.
These first-order demon monkeys carried a venom deadlier than regular zombies. Fat Boy, an ordinary person, succumbed to the venom in just thirty seconds, transforming into a zombie.
A man on the top floor peered over the edge. "Isn't that Fat Boy from the photography department?"
"Yeah, but he got bit by a demon monkey. Looks like he's a zombie now."
"That's rough. He used to talk about filming with beautiful girls... and now he's gone."
"It looks like that face-changing guy doesn't plan on letting us leave. He's using those demon monkeys to guard the dormitory."
"Look, a car's pulling up. The duel's about to start!"
Jiang Bo - Live Streaming
Jiang Bo, a male streamer, held his phone tightly, knowing this duel would bring him tons of views. He called out to the people gathered on the top floor. "Guys, I've started streaming! Tell your friends to watch!"
Those on the roof quickly sent messages to their friends, spreading the word about the duel. Some of them were worried that if Su Tu lost, the face-changing man would kill them all. They figured everyone should know who was responsible if it came to that.
Jiang Bo watched the viewer count in his stream skyrocket and grinned. "Hell yeah! This is going to be huge!"
"Damn, Brother Bo, you're a genius."
"Is the duel about to start?"
"I see a white sedan coming this way."
"Uncle Xian's on the scene! Can someone check on him? I'm freaking out!"
"Look! People are getting out of the car, but I can't make out who it is."
