Gu Mian went to the location 007 ntioned to look for Xiao Hong, but upon arrival, he found nothing but a ground full of weapon fragnts.
When 007 t Xiao Hong, those weapons were just split into two parts, but now—
Gu Mian looked at the scattered fragnts on the ground; now these weapons could simply be used as pieces in a puzzle ga.
Xiao Hong was nowhere to be found; Gu Mian guessed she probably went sowhere else seeking fun.
Nonetheless, this trip was not entirely fruitless, as Gu Mian encountered Teacher Slaughter along the way.
From afar, Gu Mian saw a luminous person in a pink shirt sneakily looking around—it was Teacher Slaughter.
He looked utterly exhausted; his clothes were torn, with large openings, stained with blood.
It seed his body and spirit were greatly damaged.
Probably because of his dazed state, he didn’t notice Gu Mian watching him from a distance and thought he was alone.
Once certain that no one was around, Teacher Slaughter stealthily squatted by a water puddle—due to lack of maintenance, the road surface had many potholes, and after it rained the day before yesterday, so water was retained; now, the water in the pit hadn’t completely dried up.
Teacher Slaughter, like a stray dog, got down on all fours, stretched out his head, and extended his mouth to drink the rainwater from the puddle.
He drank hurriedly, showing his genuine thirst.
It’s understandable; the Upper Class People couldn’t find water or food since arriving in this world, having consud nothing since yesterday.
Moreover, Teacher Slaughter was caught by Xiao Qiao midway and strapped to a Drop Tower, depleting his energy while climbing down from that high structure.
Teacher Slaughter really had a rough day.
But when misfortune cos, it doesn’t co alone; just as he bent down to drink the rainwater from the puddle, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"Have you fallen to this level, Teacher Slaughter?"
Who?
Teacher Slaughter imdiately jumped up from the ground in panic, quickly wiped his mouth with his hand, and turned to see the person behind him, pretending as if nothing happened.
It was Lu Yi.
Gu Mian watched Lu Yi erge from the building’s shadows, indicating he was not the only one observing the scene.
"It’s you!"
Seeing this familiar face, the fire in Teacher Slaughter’s eyes might as well be bursting out.
He had been made to suffer twice at the hands of Lu Yi.
The first ti was during the Circus, where Lu Yi conspired with that despicable No.9 to kidnap him, bomb the audience seats, and finally threw the kidnapped him down the building.
Teacher Slaughter still rembered the heart-wrenching pain when he hit the ground.
The second ti is right now.
"What on earth is this place!" he almost shouted at Lu Yi, "Send back! And those lower-class people here, that No.9, that bespectacled person, and that psycho woman, I want to punish them!"
When he ntioned the word "psycho woman," Teacher Slaughter shivered at the thought that her terror now outstripped even that of No.9.
"Still unwilling to face reality, Teacher Slaughter." Lu Yi spread his hands at him, "You’ve been here for almost a day now; have you t any Upper Class People who can help you?"
No.
Teacher Slaughter thought to himself, not only had he not encountered any Upper Class People who could assist him, but instead ran into so unfamiliar lower-class faces.
Those people showed no fear supposedly expected of lower-class people; instead, they stared at him curiously as if seeing sothing amusing.
He even overheard those lower-class people whisper about him, seemingly ntioning "albinism."
Teacher Slaughter had no idea what albinism was; he only knew this place was completely beyond his comprehension.
Despite feeling uneasy internally, Teacher Slaughter stubbornly spoke: "Quarantine Zone, this must be a Quarantine Zone! That’s why I haven’t t any Upper Class People."
Once I leave here, I’ll still be a noble Upper Class Person, he added in his mind.
"Why would there be lower-class people in a Quarantine Zone?" Lu Yi exposed the self-deceptive lie rcilessly, "Face reality; this is no longer your previous world."
"In the forr world, you were an exalted Upper Class Person, but in this new world, you had to stoop down to drink the filthy water from roadside puddles, even less than a stray dog." Lu Yi glanced at the water puddle Teacher Slaughter drank from, showing pity on his face.
"Haven’t you heard of ’smuggler’?" Lu Yi looked down at the short-statured Teacher Slaughter standing only at his chest level, "Besides our own world, there are many other worlds; smuggler is the na you give to those from other worlds."
Gu Mian recalled hearing the term smuggler, first hearing it from Teacher Slaughter’s own mouth.
During the slaughter ga, Gu Mian didn’t know the history of Paradise World and was identified as a smuggler by Teacher Slaughter at a glance.
"And now you’ve also beco a ’smuggler’, entering a world that doesn’t belong to you."
The more Lu Yi spoke, the stiffer Teacher Slaughter’s expression beca, more incredulous.
He couldn’t accept losing his noble status, sinking to the level of those lower-class people, no... even less than them.
A shadow appeared in his mind, it was Gu Mian.
"All this was caused by No.9. He brought us here, so he must know how to send us back. I have to find him!" Teacher Slaughter decided firmly.
Speak of the devil, and he will appear.
At this mont, he saw a familiar figure at the street corner not far away.
It was No.9 that Teacher Slaughter was yearning for.
Seeing the person he had been longing for appear in front of him, Teacher Slaughter’s heart raced, and he instinctively took two steps forward, wanting to grab him to send himself back to his original world.
But after just two steps forward, he saw the long guitar case behind Gu Mian, and painful mories imdiately resurfaced.
Teacher Slaughter abruptly stopped his running footsteps and stepped back a few paces.
This heartless lower-class person, might tie him to the jump machine like that perverted woman did.
Thinking of the jump machine, Teacher Slaughter couldn’t help but shudder, he barely managed to get down from the jump machine and didn’t want to relive it again.
He struggled to decide between advancing and fleeing, and after a few seconds, he finally made a decision.
Saving his life was more important! Teacher Slaughter bolted and tried to run.
But Gu Mian didn’t give him the chance, before Teacher Slaughter could run far, Gu Mian was already two steps behind him, caught up, and lifted him up.
After all, as an Upper-Class Person in Paradise World, he might know so useful clues.
"Do you know the Evil God?" Gu Mian asked him.
But Teacher Slaughter didn’t answer his question at all, just focused on struggling in his grasp, his struggle made Gu Mian sowhat impatient.
He leaned his face closer to Teacher Slaughter’s hand, lowered his voice, and asked again: "Do you know the Evil God?"
Perhaps it was Gu Mian’s expression that frightened Teacher Slaughter, he stopped struggling and spoke with a buzzing voice.
"What Evil God." I think you’re evil enough.
Teacher Slaughter thought the latter sentence in his mind but didn’t say it aloud.
Surprisingly, Teacher Slaughter didn’t know the Evil God, seems like he knew even less than Lu Yi. Gu Mian pondered for a few seconds before asking: "Do you know the statue in the Secret Forest?"
At this point, Teacher Slaughter realized that No.9 seed to have so questions needing his answers.
He rolled his eyes, planning to negotiate, demanding No.9 promise to send him back to his original world before he answers the questions.
But as he rolled his eyes, Teacher Slaughter glanced at the guitar case behind Gu Mian, with that thing there, proposing conditions to the person in front was simply suicidal.
Teacher Slaughter had to suppress his thoughts, grit his teeth, and speak: "I know, soone dug a dungeon for lower-class people in that forest and unearthed a statue."
"I don’t know what’s so precious about that useless statue, yet it has an Upper-Class Person founder personally guarding it..."
Clearly, Teacher Slaughter doesn’t even know about the world’s rollback, he knows less than Lu Yi.
At this mont, Teacher Slaughter suddenly noticed the leaf brooch on Gu Mian’s chest.
He displayed the puzzled expression he had when he first saw the leaf brooch: "You also wore this last ti! But this clearly belongs to that founder, I’ve seen him wear it... could it be you’re colluding with the founder? Impossible, that’s an Upper-Class Person founder!"
The brooch pinned to Gu Mian’s chest was given by the Evil God.
Upon entering Paradise World, Slaughter also gave him another identical one, saying it was left by the Evil God in the cavern, but the new one wasn’t a special item, and it’s unknown what use it had.
Gu Mian initially wanted to ask Teacher Slaughter if he knew what the brooch from Slaughter was for.
But Teacher Slaughter was still fretting over whether Gu Mian and the founder had an illicit relationship, completely oblivious to Gu Mian’s question.
Until Gu Mian shouted in his ear, he reacted and showed a bizarre expression as if looking at an idiot: "Other than looking nice, what use is there?"
Though that idiotic expression only lasted a second before being swiftly concealed, Gu Mian still saw it.
Finally, Gu Mian handed the useless Teacher Slaughter over to Lu Yi, the two were colleagues before, and Lu Yi happened to want to catch up with Teacher Slaughter.
As to how Lu Yi would catch up, Gu Mian didn’t know. He was more concerned about what the leaf brooch Slaughter gave him was for, as it’s sothing left by the Evil God, the Evil God surely wouldn’t give him sothing that’s just nice looking and nothing else, right.
