Could Fan Xiao really be asleep?

Is he being a little too thick-skinned?

Chapter 175

the next morning.

Fan Xiao opened his eyes, woke up, and stretched slightly.

Yes, he really did take a nap.

After resting, the fatigue disappeared, and my brain became more active.

It's not that he's carefree or thick-skinned enough to dare to sleep in a dungeon.

Firstly, he trusted his own judgment.

Secondly... he has a guardian angel who, though young, is exceptionally reliable.

Fan Xiao pressed his ear against the wall and listened intently.

A slight noise came from the dormitory next door.

The black and white students must have started getting up together... Realizing this, he also got up from the wooden board and clapped his hands to remind his three companions.

“You can move around now,” he said. “Remember to keep your student ID in your hand and move around with the black and white students.”

Mercury, Jinna, and Luo Hao stood up one after another.

The three of them glanced at Fan Xiao, then hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong?" Fan Xiao asked.

“Your breathing was very even last night, and even your heart rate was very low,” Mercury asked. “You weren’t really asleep, were you?”

“I trust you,” Fan Xiao said with a smile, “I trust my companions.”

"This one……"

Jin Na became a little embarrassed: "Although we are very grateful for your trust, Mr. Fan, we are not confident that we can protect you while you are sleeping in an emergency. Please be careful tonight and keep yourself awake."

"Don't underestimate yourselves; your strength is still quite good."

After offering his usual compliment, Fan Xiao said, "Let's go, we should get started."

After saying that, he walked towards the dormitory entrance.

The other three followed.

"Oh, right."

Before opening the door, Fan Xiao turned to the three of them and said, "Over at the swimming pool, 'it' and those monsters have probably already broken free of their restrictions."

"So we need to be mindful of our words and actions throughout the day."

"Be a good student. Don't rebel against your teachers. Don't do things that students shouldn't or can't do. When you see things that don't conform to common sense, don't show surprise or astonishment..."

He pointed out several details that needed attention.

The inner world is not as safe as the outer world; you only need to avoid monsters there.

In the underworld, there are no wild cats, and there's no way to escape.

The only shelter, the swimming pool, is of unknown use, and it's unclear whether there are any restrictions on its use.

Therefore, seeking stability is the best approach.

Mercury and the other two nodded.

Fan Xiao opened the door and led them out of the dormitory.

Outside in the corridor, a large number of black and white students had already begun to move around.

Seeing these "monsters," Jinna felt a little nervous.

However, seeing that the other party did not show any unusual behavior and seemed indifferent to them, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The four of them caught up with the group and headed towards the teaching building.

After entering one of the teaching buildings, Fan Xiao observed each classroom one by one, and then chose a classroom with empty seats and led his three companions inside.

If they were normal students in a normal school, they would naturally find it strange that there were extra people in their class.

But these black and white students, influenced by "it," have had their cognition and bodies altered beyond recognition, and are probably dead for many years. What survives now are merely segments of "programs."

They readily accepted the abrupt addition of Fan Xiao and his group.

Soon, the morning classes began.

After the black-and-white teacher entered the classroom, Fan Xiao and Mercury exchanged a glance, then stood up from their seats and moved closer to the black-and-white teacher.

According to their plan, they would feign illness to ask for leave and see if they could obtain a leave slip so they could leave the school through legitimate means.

The reason for the two of them to act together was because they had taken into account the third game tip—be wary of teammates who had gotten separated.

Whether this rule still needs to be followed in the Otherworld, Fan Xiao wasn't sure.

However, it's always better to be safe than sorry, and it's never a bad thing to be cautious.

Before even getting close to Teacher Hei Bai, Fan Xiao began to control the "Blood Noble".

Suddenly, he coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face turned deathly pale, and he grabbed Teacher Hei's arm, saying weakly, "Teacher! I... I have a stomach ache and need to go to the hospital. Can I ask for a day off?"

"..."

Mercury's eyes twitched at the sight.

This acting is way too over-the-top!

But he reacted quickly.

These black and white students and teachers reacted indifferently and slowly; perhaps exaggerated acting would be more effective in fooling them.

With that thought, he hardened his heart, activated his talent, turned the air his hand touched into sharp metal, and then rammed his arm into it.

*Thud*... His left arm was pierced by the air.

After the air was released, his arm pierced through the wound, and a large amount of bright red blood immediately flowed out.

Unable to bear the pain, Mercury screamed as he approached his teacher, Black and White, and cried out, "Teacher, my hand is broken! My hand is broken! I need to go to the hospital!"

Gradually, the eyes of the black-and-white teacher and students all focused on the two of them.

This also includes Luo Hao and Jin Na.

Luo Hao's expression remained unchanged.

Jinna seemed slightly embarrassed.

Will I have to act like this in the future?

"You guys come with me."

Unlike normal teachers, Teacher Hei Bai did not show any signs of panic.

His reaction was indifferent. After reminding Van Shaw and Mercury of something, he turned and walked out of the classroom.

Fan Xiao and Mercury exchanged a glance and followed.

The black-and-white teacher led them to the school's infirmary, where they found a black-and-white school doctor.

The school doctor, dressed in black and white, carefully examined Fan Xiao and Mercury's injuries and then said, "It's nothing serious, just a minor cold. A little medicine will do the trick."

"..." Fan Xiao: "Pfft... You quack! Can't you see I'm vomiting blood again? My stomach problem is too serious! I need to go to a big hospital outside the school!"

Mercury quickly followed suit, shouting, "Ouch! My hand hurts so much! It hurts so much! I'm going to faint! I'm going to die! Take me to the hospital!"

Fortunately, the black-and-white teacher and school doctor in front of me are not human.

Otherwise, given his thick skin, he might not be able to bring himself to do something like this, which would be a self-inflicted death.

How embarrassing!

"It's just a minor cold, don't worry, some medicine will do the trick."

The school doctor responded to the two of them indifferently.

Then he turned around, took out some cold medicine from the small medicine cabinet and handed it to the two of them. He then brought over two glasses of water and reminded them, "Here, you'll be fine after taking the medicine."

"..."

Fan Xiao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face regaining its rosy hue, and said, "I'm suddenly better again, so I won't take the medicine."

"Oh."

The school doctor ignored Fan Xiao and handed the cold medicine to Mercury, saying, "Take your medicine."

“I’m all better now,” Mercury replied. “I don’t need to take any medicine anymore.”

"You're still bleeding," the school doctor reminded him.

“A little blood, nothing serious,” Mercury said. “It will heal itself quickly.”

Upon hearing this, the gazes of the black-and-white teacher and the school doctor towards him gradually became strange.

At that moment, Fan Xiao touched the wound on Mercury's arm with his finger, which was stained with his own blood.

The next second, his blood merged into the other person's blood vessels, and a connection was established between their bloodlines.

Under his control, the bleeding from Mercury's wrist wound stopped instantly.

“See, it’s stopped flowing,” Mercury said quickly.

“Since everything is alright,” Teacher Hei said, “come back to class with me.”

……

Fan Xiao and Mercury returned to the classroom.

When Jinna and Luo Hao saw the two of them, they did not immediately approach to ask them anything.

The four of them are currently students. Running around and whispering during class, who knows if they will attract "its" attention?

Jin Na and Luo Hao waited until the morning classes ended and their free time began before they took action.

Jinna approached the two and asked, "How did it go? Did you get the leave slip?"

“Don’t even mention it,” Mercury said speechlessly. “I pierced my own arm, and the school doctor diagnosed it as a minor cold… I’m afraid even if I cut off my arm, that guy would only let me lie in bed for a while at most.”

He shook his head: "In short, faking illness to take leave is a dead end."

"What's going on?" Jinna asked, puzzled. "Are they deliberately ignoring our injuries?"

"Don't treat them like normal people."

Fan Xiao cautioned, "I suspect the school doctor has only detected mild symptoms like the common cold in the past."

"The students all had mild colds—this fact became ingrained in his understanding and common sense after he became a black and white person."

"So whether we're faking illness or genuinely sick, whether it's a minor or major illness, in his eyes, it will probably just be a minor cold."

"This road is now completely blocked."

Mercury sighed softly.

He took out drinking water from his storage space and used the "spiritual particle injector" again to turn ordinary water into a healing potion.

After drinking the water, the injury on his arm healed quickly.

"Do you want it?" Mercury asked Van Shaw.

Fan Xiao shook his head: "I'm fine."

"We've already blocked anyone from faking illness to take leave. What if we need to take leave for something else?" Jinna suggested. "For example, we could lie and say that our parents have died and we need to go back for their funeral?"

"...You can try it."

Suppressing his urge to complain, Fan Xiao said seriously, "Students in boarding schools can only leave the school normally by requesting leave."

"Let's try a few different reasons for taking leave, one by one."

"If that still doesn't work... then we'll take the final step."

"The final solution?" Mercury asked. "You didn't mention that. What is it?"

"Let's finish verifying the leave application first."
