132: Chapter 132 Dreaming Back to High School

Inside a dim room on the top floor of the building, a graceful figure spat out a mouthful of blood.

"To think I was exposed so quickly. I'll remember you all."

Her clone had died, but she wouldn't truly die; however, the physical sensations of the clone would be synchronized to her own body.

Shu Qianxue ran over. "Pah! What a piece of trash! How dare it impersonate me!"

Qi Yun, on the other hand, furrowed his brows.

A clone? Was that just a clone?

This enemy is very troublesome.

Just then, Qi Yun noticed distress messages from other Tribes appearing in the channel:

"Help! A fake has infiltrated our Tribe! It looks exactly like my brother! How do we tell them apart?!"

"Same here! We were almost ambushed!"

"Does anyone know how to identify these replicas?!"

"..."

It seemed they weren't the only ones being attacked by these replicas.

The malice of this dungeon was gradually revealing itself.

Qi Yun thought for a moment and sent a message in the channel.

He shared their method of identification; nothing more than wanting to disgust this monster.

The next morning, at 5:30 AM.

"Beep—beep—beep!!!"

A burst of electronic morning music instantly startled everyone awake!

"Damn! What is that noise?!"

"Enemy attack?!"

"What time is it? It's not even light out yet!"

A commotion broke out in the classroom.

"Bang!!!"

The back door of their classroom was kicked open from the outside with extreme, brutal force!

A middle-aged man stood blocking the doorway.

Thick black mist swirled around his body!

"Wake up—!!!"

"Morning run—!!!"

"Run for what?! Are you crazy?! What time is it?!"

Shu Qianxue, having been woken up and suffering from sleep inertia, retorted without a second thought.

She truly didn't take this monster covered in black mist seriously.

However, the moment Shu Qianxue finished speaking—

The middle-aged man shrouded in black mist at the doorway locked his eyes onto Shu Qianxue!

"Heh, disobeying the rules means punishment."

He spat out these words in a hoarse voice.

The next moment, he moved!

His right fist, wrapped in roiling black mist, blasted towards Shu Qianxue!

Chen Xiaolin transformed into a bolt of lightning, Sophia's ice wall rose up, and Xia Jin also slashed towards the middle-aged man!

The reaction of the 01 Tribe was undeniably fast!

However, something bizarre happened.

All attacks passed straight through the black-mist figure, causing no damage at all!

The only thing that wasn't "passed through" was Shu Qianxue's arms, which she had hastily raised in front of her chest.

"Bang—!!!"

A solid, muffled thud!

Shu Qianxue was knocked back a few steps!

Li's cold voice rang out:

"This is the power of rules."

"His attacks, within the scope permitted by the rules, cannot be defended against or blocked by conventional means. Likewise, our attacks are ineffective against him."

The middle-aged man's voice sounded again:

"Are you going to morning run or not?"

This time, there was a hint of threat in his voice.

Qi Yun took a deep breath, suppressing the anger and killing intent in his heart.

In this bizarre dungeon, they couldn't fight head-on.

He slowly shook his head at the group, signaling with his eyes.

"We'll go." Qi Yun stepped forward.

The black-mist man nodded.

"Very good, follow me."

He turned around and walked towards the stairs with stiff, heavy steps.

Qi Yun noted down this debt for hitting Shu Qianxue.

The group didn't hesitate any longer and followed behind the black-mist figure out of the classroom.

In the corridor, doors to other classrooms opened one after another, and people from all classes followed a black-mist figure down the stairs.

No one spoke; only the messy, heavy sound of footsteps and the faint sound of roiling black mist echoed in the empty stairwell.

Qi Yun saw a male student just slow his pace a little, only to be kicked in the stomach by the black-mist "teacher" in front of him.

Cruel, cold, treating them like livestock.

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts, but they were also more certain that they must endure for now and figure out the rules.

Arriving at the first-floor lobby, it was just barely dawn outside.

At this moment, a huge, standard plastic-track playground had bizarrely appeared!

On the playground, dozens of black-mist figures were already there, discussing something.

"I believe you were all teachers before; you know how to discipline students."

"Make them obey your orders properly, and take turns guarding that room in the basement."

"Complete the mission well, and we can obtain the dungeon's rewards."

"The black mist can only protect us for fifteen days."

"During these fifteen days, torture them properly, make them obedient, make them comply!"

The following morning run was simply a torture session.

Everyone was forced to run laps on the playground, compelled to shout some incredibly stupid slogans, and required to shout them loudly.

They ran who knows how many laps, until the sky was slightly brighter, and the morning run finally ended.

Then, everyone was driven to a huge conference hall.

The black-mist figures stood on the podium and all around, starting "class."

The so-called class was just some discipline lectures and ideological education, repeatedly emphasizing obedience and listening.

Boring, oppressive.

It was nearing noon.

Everyone was taken to the cafeteria again.

And when everyone saw the "food" on their trays, many couldn't help but retch, and some even vomited directly.

That couldn't even be called food!

Those were clumps of twisted insects still wriggling slightly!

"Eat it or don't!"

The black-mist middle-aged man escorting Qi Yun's class looked at them coldly.

In other class areas, under extreme hunger, people shoved those wriggling insects into their mouths and chewed.

On the 01 Tribe's side, everyone looked at the things on their trays, and no one picked up their chopsticks.

After all, they weren't as hungry as people from other Tribes.

Qi Yun looked coldly at the black-mist middle-aged man who was mocking them.

He noticed that the trays in front of those black-mist figures contained normal food.

"We won't eat." Qi Yun said calmly.

"Not eating? Violating cafeteria rules will result in punishment."

The black-mist middle-aged man narrowed his eyes, full of threats.

"Whether it's a rule or not, I can still tell."

Qi Yun stared fixedly at the middle-aged man; he guessed that the rules here were projected from reality.

The black-mist middle-aged man finally just snorted coldly:

"Let's see how long you can hold out. Hunger will teach you to be obedient."

After speaking, he ignored Qi Yun and the others, turned around, walked to the side, and began to enjoy his relatively normal lunch.

Qi Yun watched his back coldly, thinking to himself:

Let's see how long we hold out?

Don't worry, it won't be long.

Today, I will dig out the secret of that layer of black mist on you.

And then, I'll kill you, you beast.
