Luo Di gazed up at the sky covered in dust.
"What are these dust particles covering the town area? They seem to have various vortex-like structures on their surface. Does Teacher Guo’s power have such a wide range?"
Wu Wen turned around and pointed in a direction,
Due to the overwhelming darkness, Luo Di had to focus all his attention and maximize his night vision ability, only then barely seeing the silhouette of a tall chimney in the distance.
Although no smoke was emanating from it now, the dust concentration there was indeed the highest.
"Is that... a crematorium?"
Wu Wen provided a somewhat complex explanation: "You might not know this, but founding an organization in the Corner is extremely challenging.
On the surface, it seems that you only need to provide enough Corner Coins, hold enough land ownership, and be recognized by the Corner.
In reality, there are many troublesome matters to handle,
like Teacher Guo, who seeks elite students within the Corner range, and it’s best if they’re exceptionally talented monsters in some aspect.
Such monsters will also be noticed by other organizations, touching many people’s interests.
Moreover, the ecological circle in the Middle Layer has long been stable, and the emergence of new organizations will inevitably alert some people, arouse displeasure, or even hatred amplified from the Thought Corner.
Thus, during the establishment of Teacher Guo’s organization, especially in its early days, there would frequently be monsters coming to probe, investigate, assassinate, etc.
all those monsters that came are now in the crematorium.
However, before their deaths, Teacher Guo modifies them, twisting their bodies and even souls into vortex structures.
Once sent into the incinerator, their ashes naturally ascend into the sky, covering this uncharted region.
This not only stabilizes this unexplored area but also serves as Teacher Guo’s eye, monitoring the details here.
Only Teacher Guo could turn enemy corpses into such a regional effect."
Luo Di did not respond verbally but instead grasped Wu Wen’s hand.
Drawing upon the insights about fingers he learned recently, he transmitted sound through physical vibrations.
’Wu Wen, have you ever confronted Teacher Guo directly?’
’I had such an opportunity when the plant first matured.’
’What was the result?’
’How else could it be? Of course I lost, otherwise it would have been me you were meeting in the office today.’
’If I were added to the confrontation at that time, what would be our combined chances of winning?’
’Yes, Teacher Guo was a Divinity pituitary even during the Pseudo-Person period, and his development and opportunities in the Corner might not have been worse than yours.
After all, it wasn’t you that Mr. Kraft first approached, but him.
How come... Luo Di, are you thinking about killing Teacher Guo? He’s a good person, you know. Back when something happened at Fourth Middle School. Pseudo, he was willing to save your life.’
’One must consider all situations; humans tend to change.
Of course, for now, it seems alright, since even the Family Head of the Invisible Manor acknowledged Teacher Guo. Let’s observe for a while.’
’You’re becoming more reliable, Luo Di~ Teacher Guo is human too; indeed there’s a possibility of killing him, but not now~
Come on, my home is right ahead.’
Wu Wen led Luo Di to an unfinished villa area, where the only well-renovated villa with a trimmed lawn in the front yard was her new home in the Corner.
As the two approached the villa, the door opened.
"Mr. Di, welcome home!"
Standing at the entrance was a well-built and elegant short-haired woman in a maid’s outfit, and judging by the aura, she was in the budding stage.
Through the gap between the maid and the door, Luo Di could see several female monsters aged between 16-25 inside the villa, responsible for cleaning, cooking, laundry, and other tasks.
It was like a team of maids.
"Wu Wen, what’s this all about?"
"Do you like it? It’s specifically to welcome you."
"It’s still about the previous incident. That photographer is an outright evil person, operating exclusively in the Shallow Area and preying on young female monsters who just arrived in the Corner.
If his power had been stronger, and he’d imprisoned more, he might have qualified to participate in the selection of the Eight Evil People.
I couldn’t kick them away after rescuing them from him; they insisted on staying with me, so I brought them along.
Although they’re relatively ordinary monsters and can’t become Teacher Guo’s students, at my suggestion, they can still attend school classes to develop.
If they show unique talents during their studies, they might become formal students."
Luo Di saw through Wu Wen’s intentions at once, "You’re trying to form a second Sisterhood?"
"How could that be..." Wu Wen suddenly leaned close to Luo Di’s ear, whispering: "Unless you kill Teacher Guo~"
Then she pulled Luo Di to the dining room, where candles were already lit, dishes were set, a candlelight dinner just for the two of them.
[Fourth Middle School. Pseudo]
Teacher Guo was still in the office,
Apparently grading assignments, but in fact, conducting student tests.
Three exam papers lay flat on the desk, with names corresponding to Hua Yuan, Yu Ze, and Lebeite.
Each exam paper had a swirling vortex on its surface, whose specific content was a mystery to everyone except Teacher Guo.
Lebeite was the first to finish, scoring a perfect 100.
Hua Yuan followed, achieving an excellent score of 96.
However, the third exam paper was never completed ahead of time, and only in the last second of the exam was it finally "submitted", with the score revealed.
Right on the passing line,
This score did qualify as passing, but it often made it difficult to become a formal student.
However, Teacher Guo noticed a significant problem, a very serious issue.
His face began to rotate, matching the rotation frequency of the exam papers. Following that, Teacher Guo’s body started rotating as well, exhibiting a soft structure.
He was directly engulfed by the exam paper, Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novｅlfire.net
landing in a spacious indoor basketball court.
Yu Ze was there, panting heavily, sitting on the side, drinking gourd water from a bag, with ashes of bodies burned by talismans scattered across the basketball court.
When Teacher Guo materialized,
Yu Ze barely managed to get up, adjusting his sunglasses:
"You’re the Teacher Guo Luo Di mentioned, right? I’ve heard so much about you, and there’s information about you and your organization from the Exploration Bureau, currently deemed completely neutral.
As we’re both from Huaxia, it should be easy to talk. I came specifically to accompany Luo Di this time, but unexpectedly had to take an exam as soon as we met, didn’t prepare well, and probably scored poorly."
Teacher Guo, with a dark book in hand, displayed a cold demeanor, wasting no words, "How did you estimate my score and then control your own score reasonably?"
"Ah~ You saw through it? I guess I need to improve my acting skills." Yu Ze scratched his head, "I personally am better at fortune-telling, and for this small scene’s ’events’, it’s quite easy to predict.
Moreover, it’s the only way to meet with you alone in advance, isn’t it?"
Yu Ze’s expression changed instantly, his aura restrained, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Teacher Guo continued, "Why do you want to join?"
"Because I don’t really want to work with useless people, they hinder my development. And it seems only elites are admitted here. I wanted to see whether it’s worth spending my time here.
If it is, Luo Di and I would likely stay together."
A key appeared with the vortex in Yu Ze’s palm.
"Class starts promptly at eight tomorrow morning."
Teacher Guo left a final remark before vanishing.
Cold sweat trickled down Yu Ze’s forehead,
The purple talisman secretly clamped in his hand was not thrown, he initially intended to test Teacher Guo’s strength, but was stopped by reason.
At the moment he was about to throw the talisman, he seemed to glimpse the scene of his own complete demise.
"Now that’s a monster... How intriguing! Seriously, what secrets does this Fourth Middle School that my fellow countryman graduated from hide, to suddenly produce so many top-notch individuals?
The feng shui or high-ranking rules beyond my calculation?"
