Fear of food

Chapter 87 Who Can We Still Trust? (Bonus Chapter for First Subscription)
With a scream, the pen pierced the candy.

Expelled from school!

The bald "dean of students" roared, pulled out his pen, and the candy's body immediately fell straight to the ground, without making a sound.

Seeing this shocking scene, everyone seemed stunned, their weapons rendered useless, while the "dean of students" displayed superhuman fighting power, appearing invincible.

"go!"

Coffee made a decision instantly: facing an invincible enemy, running away was obviously the right thing to do.

However, at this moment, Chili roared and charged forward.

Chili was going crazy at this point, and Coffee couldn't help but understand, after all, her comrade-in-arms, with whom she had shared life and death, had fallen in front of her.

But her charge caused Dabing, who was already hesitant about whether to go up, to roar and charge forward as well.

Zhui Feng took a look and saw that, well, all the brothers had already gone up, so he had no choice but to go up.

Swill, on the other hand, was much more rational and rushed forward to pull Chasewind and Big Pancake away.

Zhui Feng and Da Bing seemed to have lost their minds, wildly swinging their weapons and smashing the headmaster. The swill couldn't budge them at all.

Coffee weakly shouted for a retreat, but the situation was already beyond her control.

She was caught between two choices: whether to go or not. When she turned her head, she found Chen Qi still standing there blankly.

"Biscuit!" Coffee called out, thinking Chen Qi had been scared out of his wits.

Chen Qi suddenly came to his senses, a strange look on his face.

What he saw was: after the head of the teaching department appeared, Gummy Bear picked up a rifle, aimed it at the head of the teaching department, fired several shots into the air, and was then stabbed to death by the head of the teaching department with a pen.

Why doesn't the gummy bear shoot?
Is it because you can't find the trigger?

Then an even stranger scene unfolded: Zhui Feng was holding a large syringe, but instead of using the needle to stab people, he rushed up and used the syringe as a stick, smashing it wildly against the headmaster.

Chili was holding a rifle, but instead of firing it, she was hitting people with the butt of the rifle.

Neither Dabing nor Ganshui fired their pistols. Dabing used it like a brick, while Ganshui simply threw the gun away.

"What's wrong with them? Are they trapped in an illusion?"

Why am I okay?

Chen Qi's first reaction was that, just like at Jinghai Medical College before, he had fallen into an illusion.

But it felt different. Before, when I entered the illusion, I could clearly feel it, and many things could not be brought into the illusion.

But this time everyone's weapons were still there... Chen Qi reached into his pocket and found that his ghost face cookies were still there too.

It's quite obvious that his perception differed from others...

"This doesn't seem like a hallucination; it's more like a localized cognitive distortion."

Apart from him, the weapons in everyone else's eyes seemed to be useless and harmless.

"Let's go!" Now is clearly not the time to study these things. Chen Qi rushed forward to try to pull Zhui Feng and the others away... As for Chili, we'll save her if we can, but if she really doesn't want to leave, we can only respect her fate.

The dean of students stood motionless like a rock as he was subjected to a fierce attack from several people. His eyes swept across their faces, as if he was choosing his next target.

Chen Qi grabbed Zhui Feng, and with the combined effort of him and Gan Shui, Zhui Feng was pulled backward and stumbled. The syringe in her hand missed its target and slashed at the chili pepper next to her.

Chili reacted very quickly, twisting to the side to dodge.

This action, which seemed normal to others, made Chen Qi's eyelids twitch!
He didn't know what the large syringe in Zhui Feng's hand had become in other people's eyes; it was clearly a harmless tool.

But in his eyes, it was just as the needle of the large syringe was about to stab the chili pepper, which narrowly avoided it.

"She can see it too?"

The thought had barely crossed Chen Qi's mind when, in the next instant, the dean of students thrust out his pen again, forcefully piercing through Chili's skull, and then pulling it out, blood gushed out like a fountain...

"You're expelled from school too!"

Chili pepper's body immediately collapsed as well.

Chen Qi pulled Da Bing back. At this moment, Zhui Feng and Da Bing seemed to have been sobered up a bit by Chili's death and stopped rushing forward like madmen. Chen Qi immediately took the pistol from Da Bing's hand, preparing to shoot the headmaster.

He wanted to test how they would react if he fired a shot in front of Dabing and the others.
Can we break through cognitive distortions?
But at this moment, the head of the teaching department looked at Chen Qi and said, "Are you a new teacher? These are all your students, right? Keep them in line!"

After saying that, he turned and left without pursuing the matter further.

He just killed two people like that, and then turned around and left?
"Let's leave quickly!" Coffee urged.

When Zhui Feng and the other two were about to leave, they found that Chen Qi was standing still.

Chen Qi turned to look at the wall of honor and found that his photo had appeared in the "Outstanding Teacher" column at some point.

The "Outstanding Students" section, which originally only had three photos, now includes photos of Coffee, Zhui Feng, Gan Shui, Da Bing, Xu An'an, as well as Chili and Soft Candy.

However, at this moment, the photos of Chili and Gummy were disappearing rapidly, leaving no trace in the blink of an eye.

Chen Qi took a deep breath, suddenly raised his pistol, and pulled the trigger at the back of the head of the teaching department!

It's all so chaotic and so full of coincidences.

Before, he only subconsciously felt that something was strange, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. But the way Chili dodged just now seemed to have sounded an alarm bell in his mind!
Everything seemed normal, yet everything felt a little strange.

For example, Chili, a well-trained official combatant, would she suddenly lose her temper and fight the enemy to the death without weapons?

Yes, this can be loosely explained by "deep camaraderie".

But why did Dabing and Zhuifeng also launch an attack like they'd lost their minds? They're not even familiar with the official duo!

However, Dabing is prone to impulsiveness and Zhuifeng is very loyal, which can be somewhat explained.

Given how much the authorities cared about that little girl, Lin Ning, yet only sent two people in the end, wasn't that a bit too frivolous?

This can be loosely explained by a shortage of manpower and tight deadlines.

Even the way Chili dodged later, and the fact that the head of the teaching department mistook Chen Qi for a school teacher and let them leave... all of these things can be reasonably explained.

But when everything requires a forced explanation, it no longer makes sense!

Chen Qi felt he couldn't just let things develop as they were arranged.

He has to do something counterintuitive!
For example, firing a gun!
boom!
A gunshot rang out, and a hole appeared in the back of the dean's shirt. He paused slightly, then continued walking forward.

bang bang bang...

Chen Qi emptied the magazine, making the headmaster tremble a few times, but he couldn't make him stop or turn around.

His teammates, on the other hand, seemed completely unaware that he had fired so many shots, nor could they hear the continuous gunfire.

And so, the figure of the head of the teaching department gradually disappeared into the darkness outside the teaching building.

Chen Qi's heart also fell into darkness... Who could he still trust?
Are the teammates simply suffering from distorted perceptions?

The performance of Dabing and Zhuifeng was clearly abnormal.

Chili peppers and gummy candy—something seems off about these officials!
If the chili peppers and the gummy candy are problematic, then could the person responsible for contacting them also be problematic?
Chen Qi and Chili first met under the guidance of Coffee, who claimed to have been contacted by an official through Momo.

Thinking of this, Chen Qi took out his phone, only to find that it had no signal.

"Domain? Or something else?"

At this moment, Coffee urged, "Biscuit, let's hurry up and get out of here first!"

Chen Qi nodded, took a few steps forward, and said, "My phone has no signal. Can I borrow your phone, Sister Coffee?"

Xu An'an, who was standing to the side, casually took out her own phone: "Use mine."

This small gesture made Xu An'an seem suspicious in Chen Qi's eyes.

Chen Qi glanced at it and shook his head: "You don't have a signal either."

After saying that, he turned and went to the bodies of Chili and Gummy, and began searching them.
