Chapter 520. The First Explorer Found [520K Chapter]

"A boring little trick."

Mo Hao shook his head. The trick of killing a chicken to scare the monkey and playing the good cop and the bad cop role was just to bully the students who had never seen the world.

And they have to be students of a peaceful society.

If it were the world that Mo Hao is in now, even if the person who came here was Zheng Qiang, who has a relatively cowardly personality in the elite class, he would not fall for it.

Zheng Qiang is a bit cowardly, but he can really do things when there are things he wants to do.

Sneaking in, kidnapping, and even threatening the water ghost to cut open his brother's wife's belly, each of which was done well.

I have no more interest in playing house with others, especially when these guys look like they are going to give me a violent lesson.

Flames quietly rose from his fingertips, and the next moment all the people in the school, including the buildings, would be reduced to ashes.

But at this moment, Mo Hao seemed to sense something and stopped his original thoughts.

He left the place in a flash, leaving only an illusion created by Guigu Taoism.

Mo Hao walked in the school with a swagger, but no one could see him along the way. Even if he appeared in front of others, those people still ignored him.

This is not a spell, but a simpler and more direct way to converge one's own pheromones.

When there is something that looks like it doesn't exist, sounds like it doesn't exist, and even the touch gives the impression that it doesn't exist, then no matter whether that thing is alive or dead, it doesn't exist to other people.

Coming into a classroom with a closed door, Mo Hao heard bursts of sobbing, which made him frown.

"It's not surprising that ghosts were born in this place."

The appearance of inhuman creatures in this classroom was not a big deal for Mo Hao. If this school was some kind of horror movie, then when he came here, the most terrifying and ferocious existence would definitely be him.

Soon Mo Hao followed the sound and found the crying figure. It was a mass of illusory things like fog, and he could only barely see a few crying faces in the fog.

This is an incomplete soul. Although the deceased who died for various reasons died with resentment, they were unable to form wronged souls or evil ghosts due to various factors, and eventually turned into something like some kind of fragment.

These soul fragments are basically harmless and do not even have self-awareness. They will dissipate between heaven and earth on their own after seven days.

But what is before my eyes...

"Too many lives died in the same place because of the same hatred, and combined to form this horrible appearance?"

Mo Hao, who practiced the Heavenly Demon Slaying God Technique, was undoubtedly a master in the soul, and he easily saw the cause of this situation, "It seems that many students have died in this place."

The vengeful spirit that was formed by the combination of many fragments of resentment seemed to sense some danger, and its figure gradually turned into nothingness and was about to leave, but before that, a hand directly grabbed his soul, "Little ghost, why are you running?"

This vengeful spirit can cause considerable impact on ordinary people, including hallucinations, nightmares, and even direct control of the body while in a trance.

If this vengeful spirit continues to develop, the school will start a battle royale.

He doesn't care about the life or death of this kind of school, but he cares if there are any clues in it.

The hand that grasped the vengeful spirit emitted a Buddha's light as warm as the sun, which washed away the blood stains on the vengeful spirit's face. The vicious and cruel eyes gradually regained clarity in the Buddha's light.

The Buddha's light extended by [Yama Ksitigarbha] has a special effect on ghosts, one of which is to restore the minds of wronged souls and evil spirits that are clouded by resentment.

"Are you awake?"

The ghost's body, which had regained consciousness, gradually solidified and finally appeared in front of him in the form of a young boy. He glanced at Mo Hao, shrank back in fear, and nodded.

"I ask, you answer, there's a reward for answering, there's a punishment for lying, do you understand?"

The purpose of awakening the ghost's consciousness is to obtain more clues. If there are useful clues, Mo Hao is not stingy with the reward.

"What does it feel like when a ghost loses himself? What's the reason you appeared as soon as I entered this classroom?"

"I feel very confused and my consciousness is very fuzzy. It's like I thought of something in the last second, and when I finished thinking about it the next moment, several days have passed. All the thoughts in between are chaotic and fragmented, and there is no logic."

"Your scent is very unique, different from others. It seems that a voice told me that if I can kill you, it will bring great benefits."

No one knows who this ghost was when he was alive, but he accepted his own death as soon as he regained consciousness. He also answered Mo Hao's questions with clear logic. He must have been a top student with good grades when he was alive.

The ghost paused, then continued, "I don't remember any other [similar] people here, but there is someone who smells a bit like you, and he was put in solitary confinement by the instructors."

The school converted a basement somewhere into a solitary confinement cell. There was no light, no sound, and the space inside was so small that it was difficult to even turn around.

In order to torture the people in solitary confinement, they cannot stand up or sit down, and can only endure the confinement time in a very tiring way.

"This thing only appears in the military and prisons, right?"

Following the ghost in the huge basement, the surrounding lights were dim and it was difficult to see things more than three meters away.

Fortunately, neither Mo Hao nor the ghost needs sufficient light to see in the dark.

The ghost replied, "The chief instructor is a retired soldier. He used that method on us. Most students can't last a day in confinement, but that guy has lasted a week."

If this kind of environment lasts for a week, not to mention students, even adults will suffer irreversible physical and psychological damage.

Although the basement used for confinement was huge, it was not used much at this time. Only the voices of three people crying and shouting that they would never dare to do it again echoed in the corridor.

Following the guidance of the ghost, Mo Hao walked to the innermost confinement room and opened the door. The sudden light of light made the people inside curl up together.

"I just heard that someone was detained here for a week. I didn't expect it was you."

The person in front of him is an acquaintance, Su Wenxing’s grandson Su Yuan.

There was no surprise or confusion in the other person's eyes when he saw him. It was obvious that he was as clear-headed as he was.

But there was no strength in his body, otherwise this confinement room would not be able to hold him.

Mo Hao was not surprised by this. As an explorer who was urgently recruited this time, if he knew that no one could do it as the first level, then he would be delivering food to the Nightmare.

"So, do you want to leave here with me, or continue to be detained? If you are detained here to conquer Nightmare."

Hearing this, Su Yuan immediately rushed out and left the confinement room, "I want to kill all the adults in this place." Looking at Su Yuan's gnashing teeth, it can be seen that he probably had a hard time this week.

There were obvious scars on his body, and Mo Hao could tell at a glance that they were definitely done by Chief Instructor Shi Xi, who came from the military.

He even saw in the injuries that there were techniques specifically used for interrogation.

It can cause great pain to people, but the damage to the body is relatively small.

"Those guys were just short of giving me a confession drug and electric shock. They also have a water dungeon here."

"So what did you do?"

Mo Hao was somewhat curious about what Su Yuan had done to make the chief instructor take such a cruel approach. Although the Taixu Realm had great malice towards explorers, this degree had already exceeded the normal level.

Interrogation-style beatings, water dungeons, and solitary confinement would make even the strongest man weaken under these tactics.

It was not a problem of spirit and will, but the physiological limit of human beings was unable to break through these punishments. Su Yuan had no strength in his body at this time, and no matter how strong his spirit was, he had to succumb to his body.

"I attacked the instructor by surprise, leaving him seriously injured and unconscious. I set fire to the principal's office in order to escape. Unfortunately, I was unlucky and something went wrong, so I didn't get out."

"You should get some Molotov cocktails. I just checked and there aren't many people patrolling the parking lot here. The surveillance cameras are fixed in the corners, so there are a lot of blind spots. You can definitely steal some gasoline. There's also sugar in the cafeteria, and cloth strips are everywhere."

There was nothing wrong with Su Yuan's ideas and methods of escaping from this place, except that he lacked some backup plans to make up for the problems when they occurred.

Mo Hao commented, "There aren't many surveillance cameras in this area. They tampered with the transformers at night to cause a power outage, and then buried timed Molotov cocktails all over the campus to create fires and chaos."

"The key is to light a fire in the dormitory. As long as there is a fire there, it will cause chaos, and chaos is a good time to fish in troubled waters."

"Moreover..." Mo Hao paused, then continued, "Before the operation, knock out a few thin students and hide them near the fire point in the dormitory. Their wailing before death will cause greater chaos."

"It will put the instructors in a dilemma: should they go put out the fire or calm down the panicked students? Those with a conscience will probably think about saving the students."

"Then you can take advantage of the confusion to hunt the adults."

"Chaos and fire will be your best accomplices."

A plan seems to be feasible, but the prerequisite is that Su Yuan, who is executing the plan, is a battle-hardened explorer who knows how to fight even if he is physically weak.

Ordinary students, especially those who were captured, do not have that ability.

"It's exactly the same as the rumors." Su Yuan, who was supported by Mo Hao, smiled. After a long period of confinement, he now has difficulty even walking.

Being able to communicate normally with Mo Hao was already a testament to the explorer’s strong will.

"Rumors? Me?" Mo Hao's curiosity was aroused. "So can you tell me what the rumors about me are?"

Although he knew that most of the rumors about him were not good, Mo Hao couldn't help but find out more.

"Lustful, cruel, bloodthirsty, vengeful, and similar descriptions. They even used incidents to prove their claims."

As he spoke, Su Yuan was also observing Mo Hao's expression, and would stop talking immediately if he noticed that the other party was disgusted.

But Mo Hao only showed surprise on his face, "I accept the last three descriptions. Lustful is such a niche word for me, what does it have to do with me?"

"During the joint exam of three schools before the college entrance exam, Su Zhilan from Tianchang Girls' School made a mistake in her decision, which caused the difficulty of the Taixu Realm to increase dramatically. You directly dealt with the entire Taixu Realm."

"Yue Shan competed with you for Murong Haitang to join your team. You planted a bloody flag on the spot and beat Yue Shan to death on the ring."

"And Xiyue wanted to take back the position of student council president, and you and Jin Che had a conflict over this, and you killed him on the spot."

For the people in this world, lust is just a neutral evaluation. After all, humans either compete with wild beasts for territory or compete with the Taixu Realm for living space.

Every time a problem occurs, humans die in large numbers. If the death data were not recorded clearly every time, Mo Hao would almost think that the people in this world are like those in misery, with a large number of them being refreshed at midnight every day.

In this environment, humans lack combat power, and even more so high-end combat power.

Therefore, in a social environment where strong people with high-end combat capabilities are concerned, humans hope that they can have as many children as possible.

After all, although the offspring of a strong man cannot completely inherit his talents, there is always a lower limit and a guarantee.

Su Yuan felt that the other three comments were a bit excessive, so he added a neutral comment to neutralize the difference.

"Is there a possibility that I actually helped a lot of men, like my classmate Zheng Qiang, and like you now."

Although he could let others judge him, Mo Hao felt that such an evaluation was too outrageous for him.

As they were talking, the two had already reached the school gate. They only needed to take a few more steps to leave this place completely.

But before leaving, Su Yuan paused.

Mo Hao could tell that Su Yuan was unwilling to give up. "Want revenge?"

Su Yuan shook his head. "Forget it. The reason I suffered a loss is that I am not capable enough. It is more important to join up with others."

He didn't know that Mo Hao was able to use all his strength in the Taixu Realm. He thought that Mo Hao had at most only recovered a small part of his strength. This strength should be used to break through the Taixu Realm, rather than wasted because of his personal little emotions.

"Actually, it's not that difficult for you to take revenge. I'm just afraid that you won't feel satisfied if I just kill them all."

The cooperation between Mo Hao and Su Wenxing is quite pleasant. They will never shirk their responsibilities when they need help from each other. So when he saw Su Yuan's look, out of his good impression of Su Wenxing's quick work, he decided to help him find a place.

He looked at the ghost beside him and asked, "You look like you probably died here, and died in a very uneasy and resentful way. So, do you want revenge?"

"I said in advance that this retaliation would cause considerable turmoil in the entire country, involving a huge number of people and with serious consequences."

The ghost had only one question, "Will the people here die?"

"Absolutely dead, both physically and socially."

Without any hesitation, facing Mo Hao who was tempting like a devil, the ghost only said two words, "Revenge!"
