There is also the possibility of being directly hunted down by the dungeon boss.

Anyway, nothing good is going to happen.

Therefore, when gathering intelligence through communication, a gentle approach must be adopted—both the bald man and the tattooed man were aware of this.

The two suppressed their desire to bully the weak and patiently began their intelligence gathering.

By the time lunch was over, they had received the same story from all four students.

After leaving the cafeteria, the bald man and the tattooed man arrived at a sparsely populated area in the corridor. The bald man then activated his defensive items, creating a soundproof environment.

"All four of them gave the same answer, so I don't think there's any need to ask any further."

The bald man said, "If we keep gathering intelligence instead of doing things that suit the dungeon boss's preferences, the danger we're in won't be eliminated. We might just disappear like those unlucky guys before us."

"It's time to take action."

The tattooed man nodded: "The list of perpetrators mentioned by these students is exactly the same as what that guy said. He must have gotten the information from the students as well."

"If it's a prop, the number of perpetrators obtained by judging their good and evil values ​​should be more than the actual number."

"That bastard...he really did lie to us! Humph, he'll have to pay back everything he's swallowed, with interest!"

Most people harbor feelings of guilt to some degree, but they simply lack the means to act on them.

Based on this, it can be inferred that the number of "bad people" identified by judging good and evil values ​​must be very large.

However, not all bad people will participate in school violence incidents, which means that the number of perpetrators identified by the props is definitely much larger than the actual number of perpetrators.

But the list provided by Van Shaw was exactly the same as the list they obtained from the students.

It's obvious this guy is lying!

He simply doesn't have any tools to determine the value of human good or evil.

That shameful liar!

"Dealing with him is a matter for later. We have to wait until most of the human and demi-human players are dead before we can make a move against him."

The bald man said, "Now that the three of us are teaming up, we can put a lot of pressure on the human and demi-human players and prevent them from attacking us."

"Moreover... besides its deterrent effect, this guy is quite clever; he might actually be able to find a way to achieve the conditions for the second mission."

"Given his greed, once he finds a way, he'll definitely sell the information for money. Once we buy it... hey, that'll be his death day."

"Can it really be that easy? I think it's better to get rid of him sooner rather than later." The tattooed man warned, "Intelligent people are usually a big threat, and I'm afraid something unexpected might happen if we drag it out."

"Let's adapt to the situation. There's no need to rush, and we shouldn't rush either."

The bald man said, "Let's deal with the perpetrators first and obtain the right to stay safely at Qingshan Academy."

"Yeah... that's okay."

The tattooed man nodded: "Let's kill a few more. I'm a bit hungry, and... the more we kill, the fewer other players we'll have to kill. This will help us indirectly eliminate human and demi-human players."

"Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking."

The bald man chuckled and said, "Although it's a bit wasteful to send so much delicious food to the dungeon boss to hunt, we have no choice but to do it because of the situation."

After discussing the plan, the two of them made clear arrangements for everything that followed.

The bald man put away his defensive gear and went with the tattooed man to the location of the nearest target of the abuser.

Class D, Grade 3.

The two stopped at the door and looked inside.

Lunch and lunch break combined only last an hour, and by this time most students have already returned to their classrooms.

"Miura-senpai, Matsuda-senpai, Takiya-senpai, the teacher wants to see you."

The tattooed man shouted directly into the classroom.

He is currently a second-year student, and he should be careful to use respectful terms when addressing third-year seniors.

To prevent any unexpected situations from occurring, the tattooed man strictly adhered to the rules of hierarchy.

As long as these three go with them to a secluded and deserted place, hey... you can always get your face back.

"It's amazing that someone my age can address high school students as 'senpai' without causing the slightest surprise among them... The people here are both normal and abnormal."

The tattooed man subtly became more alert.

Soon, the three people who had been called came out.

The two men and one woman all cast disdainful glances at the tattooed man and the bald man.

The tattooed man quickly lowered his posture and led the three forward.

As they turned the corner and entered an empty corridor, he suddenly grabbed the middle female student in the trio by the neck: "You bitch! You were so smug just now, weren't you?"

"Well……"

The girl immediately showed a painful struggle.

She was lifted into the air, her arms and legs flailing about.

The other two male students were stunned when they saw this.

Before they could recover from their shock and rush to their aid, two sounds rang out, and they both collapsed to the ground.

It was the bald man who made the move.

With two punches, he dented the backs of the two male students.

They fell to the ground, vomiting mouthfuls of blood, and soon lost their breath.

The bald man clapped his hands, as if he had crushed two insects, and chuckled with a relaxed expression, "Done! We'll have to enjoy the rest."

"That's natural."

The tattooed man said, "That guy already had an extra meal before us, so we have to catch up."

"Heh... That bastard said he didn't have any dietary restrictions and didn't discriminate against women, but he still went after young girls, didn't he? Humph, what a hypocrite!"

"Tsk tsk... Look at her expression, I think she's about to pee herself from fright."

As the bald man savored the terrified expression on the girl's face in the tattooed man's hand, he said, "Don't look at us like that, hey... your classmates all say you're a little rascal. If we eat you, wouldn't that be considered upholding justice?"

"You little kids, you're so timid yourselves, how dare you bully others..."

Pfft!

The female student fell to the ground.

The tattooed man who had been choking her was gone.

The bald man standing opposite had also disappeared.

The two seemed to have vanished into thin air, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

Suddenly, a tiny mirror appeared in the air.

The next second, Fan Xiao appeared next to the female student who had fallen to the ground.

As soon as he appeared, Fan Xiao felt a sense of crisis.

It's as if danger will befall me if I don't do something.

He didn't ignore the feeling; his brain worked quickly, and he immediately came up with a guess.

"Are you OK?"

He approached the female student who had wet herself in fright, helped her up, and began to offer words of comfort and concern.

Once the female student calmed down, he no longer felt that sense of crisis.

Seeing this, Fan Xiao released his hand from the female student, acting as if he were about to deny everything after he had done his job.

In his conjecture, the students of Qingshan Academy, like the space between the real and the real world, should be part of a copy, belonging to a kind of "copy phenomenon".

Even if these people are killed, they probably won't really die; they'll likely recover quickly.

Just like the fantastical creatures in Fairy Tale Town.

Otherwise, every time a player comes in, they kill a few people, and the students here will be wiped out in no time, and the dungeon will become unusable.

Fan Xiao glanced at the two male corpses lying on the ground, then looked away. The next second, he used a mirror to teleport to the women's restroom on the third floor of the teaching building.

He reached out and knocked on the door of the cubicle in front of him, saying, "Himuro-kun, you can go back to the classroom now."

"Huh...!? Seal? You... what are you doing here..."

Himuro Rui's voice was clearly filled with panic and uncertainty.

Ignoring the girl's shame, Fan Xiao reminded her and then teleported again to the door of his classroom.

Then, like a normal student, he returned to his seat.

After sitting down, he brought up the player panel and glanced at the time.

12: 57.

There are only three minutes left before class starts.

The course was naturally irrelevant to him; his attention was focused on analyzing the images he had seen earlier.

Not long ago, he gave the bald man and the tattooed man a small round mirror each, in order to monitor them.

The method of surveillance was simple—enter the world inside the mirror and then observe the outside world through the mirror of the small round mirror hanging around their necks.

During this process, he only needs to keep moving his position and keep the distance between himself and the two people within 100 meters.

The original B-grade prop "Mirror" had an interference range of 500 meters through a physical mirror surface, but the interference range of a mirror created by the mind was 100 meters.

Because he is a D-level player, he cannot utilize the full effect of B-level items, so the interference range is reduced to 100 meters and 50 meters respectively.

If the bald man and the tattooed man, because they don't trust him, throw away the small round mirror he gave them... then he will only be able to use his mind to conjure a mirror in a hidden location to observe the situation outside.

At that time, the following distance will be shortened to 50 meters.

However, there is a drawback to doing this – considering the need for concealment, the mirror created by the mind cannot be too large, but if the mirror is too small, there will be less to see through it, and it is not easy to strike a balance between the two.

Fortunately, neither the bald man nor the tattooed man threw away the small round mirror.

The two only put the mirror into their storage space when they needed to talk in private; the rest of the time, they wore it around their necks.

This also allowed Fan Xiao to see a lot of things.

He has now pretty much figured out how to survive safely at Aoyama Academy.

Just as he guessed—he wanted to stop school violence.

But the way to stop it must be proper and legitimate—doing the right thing in the right place.

In other words, you can't use the excuse, "You're going to do something bad sooner or later anyway, so I'll just kill you before you do it," to get rid of the perpetrator before they commit violence.

Once you do this, you become an abuser yourself when you hurt others... even if the person you're hurting is the school bully.

Once a player becomes the perpetrator, they will be punished—disappear.

As for where he will go after disappearing, Fan Xiao is not sure yet.

It's definitely not a good place.

Besides, even if one always behaves oneself, there is no way to guarantee one's safety at Qingshan Academy.

Because... bystanders will also be punished.

In a school violence incident, participants can be divided into perpetrators, victims, and bystanders.

Even if bystanders do nothing, ignoring the evil itself is still an evil and must be punished.

Although it's a bit of a pain, this should be the hidden dungeon rule of "Green Mountain Prison".

He had witnessed the bald man and the tattooed man bullying the three students, and because he did not step in to stop them immediately and remained inactive, he sensed a crisis—the crisis of being teleported to a dangerous place.

This sense of crisis disappeared after he helped and comforted the female classmate who had survived.

Without a doubt, this is the right thing to do.

One should neither be a perpetrator nor a bystander.

Instead, we should stand up with a kind heart and bravely stop the bullying of victims by the perpetrators.

As for how to prevent it... there is no legal definition yet.

“If you act too aggressively when trying to stop someone, you may be identified as the perpetrator. Therefore, the best approach is to step forward and take the blame for the victim, and resolve the problem through defense, persuasion, or helping them escape.”
