This Actor Is Full Of Tricks

The handwriting became increasingly distorted, as if written by something malevolent. From these words, it was clear that the school doctor's mental state was deteriorating.

Lin Jue picked up a pen that was almost out of ink and extracted some keywords from these sentences, writing them down in a relatively clean spot on the medical record.

【Game】【Hide Well】【Dining Table】

He had also found sentences containing the word "game" on the walls of the junior high section. Now that he saw it again, he linked these words together, beginning to reconstruct the events the school doctor had experienced.

Back then, there were still living people, as well as the malevolent entities. Originally, the entities were carrying out a mass slaughter of the living, but an outsider established rules, preventing them from harming the living within those rules.

Just like the sentence the school doctor wrote: 【The new principal has established rules, they dare not act arbitrarily anymore】.

However, outside of these rules, there was a game, probably similar to hide-and-seek. The surviving living people would find places to hide, while the entities were responsible for finding them. Once found, they would be treated as food and placed on the dining table.

"Establishing school rules that prohibit arbitrary killing, yet allowing this kind of game to exist, what exactly does the former principal want to do?"

"This game seems to have gone through more than one round. Are there any surviving living people left? If so, where are they hiding? Or are they mixed in with the students, able to coexist peacefully with the entities as long as they don't violate the rules?"

"It's not just the entities killing people; the entities are also hoping for each other to violate the rules, so they can justifiably devour each other and increase their strength."

"Living people who violate the rules are placed on the dining table, and the entities devour each other… Whether human or entity, both can become food."

"Why does this school feel like a Gu pot, with all the students and teachers inside as Gu worms, killing and devouring each other? Is the purpose of establishing rules to prevent excessive slaughter, which would lead to an insufficient number of Gu worms in the end?"

Lin Jue twirled the pen, suddenly hearing a bell ringing. It wasn't an electronic bell, but someone was actually striking a bell, simulating the sounds of class starting and ending.

In the fog, time was indistinguishable, and even the time on his phone became inaccurate. Everything in this school relied on the bell for timekeeping.

This was information recorded in the school rule handbook.

Based on the time he entered the fog, Lin Jue estimated that it should now be the time for dinner after the afternoon classes.

After dinner would be his first class.

Lin Jue put Grandpa back into the raincoat, put on his backpack, and headed towards the cafeteria.

The cafeteria was at the other end of the sports field. As soon as he got close, he saw a group of crooked and distorted students bumping into each other. Whether human or entity, it seemed that getting food was the most important thing.

"Hurry up! Any slower and there won't be any left."

"I hope the cafeteria auntie won't be so shaky and give me a couple more scoops."

"It's a pity that the living people these days are all so cunning. Lately, no one has violated the school rules. I miss fresh meat so much."

Lin Jue followed the student crowd into the cafeteria. From the words of these students, he could tell that there were indeed still living people around.

"Grandpa, can you sense if there are any living people among these students?" Lin Jue asked in a low voice as he walked.

"The aura is too chaotic, I can't sense it. Besides, even if there are living people here, they've been living in the fog for so long, living with the entities day and night. They might have been contaminated and become neither human nor ghost."

The backpack vibrated, and Grandpa's cautious voice came from within.

"Alright." Lin Jue nodded slightly. What Grandpa said made sense. After being in the fog for so long, even if there were still living people, they would mostly have become like that school doctor.

Some of these students were obviously entities at a glance, but some could not be distinguished from their appearance whether they were entities or humans.

Inside the cafeteria, the tables and chairs were arranged in a disorderly manner, with dark bloodstains everywhere. Only two food serving windows were open in the cafeteria, one for teachers and one for students.

Compared to the noisy outside, the inside of the cafeteria was much quieter, with everyone lining up in an orderly fashion.

Lin Jue walked to the teacher's line and mentally counted the number of people.

There were a total of nine teachers, besides the dean of students and the principal who had not appeared here.

"New here?" The teacher in front of him turned around. This teacher was obviously an entity; the flesh of his chin had rotted away, revealing a section of bone.

"Yes, I'm the new psychology teacher. My name is Zhou." Lin Jue greeted him with a smile: "If you have any psychological problems in the future, you can contact me, such as work stress or discord with colleagues."

"Oh." The teacher replied indifferently and was about to turn back.

Lin Jue pulled him back: "Teacher, do you know how many living people there are in our school? I haven't eaten fresh flesh in a long time."

Instead of searching one by one, it would be better to extract information directly from these natives.

The teacher looked wary and didn't speak, but Lin Jue could tell from his expression that this guy probably knew.

Before Lin Jue could use emotional persuasion to pry open his mouth, the teacher took his food and hurried away.

In this school, there was no trust even among the entities.

When it was Lin Jue's turn to get food, he approached the window. The cafeteria auntie inside was wearing an apron full of filth, holding a spoon in one hand and a plate in the other, looking at Lin Jue with an impatient face: "What do you want to eat?"

There were only two large iron basins in front of her. One basin was filled with rotten meat, and the other was with…

These should all be the living people who had died before, reduced to food for the students and teachers to choose from.

Faced with such a shocking scene, Lin Jue remained calm: "A little of each."

The cafeteria auntie scooped two full spoons, but only half of it ended up on the plate.

"More." Lin Jue was a little dissatisfied.

"That's all there is. If you want to eat more, go catch a living person and bring them in, then I'll give you more." The cafeteria auntie's attitude was very bad.

As Lin Jue left with the plate, the shop owner's suspicious voice came from the backpack behind him: "Kid, are you really going to eat this meat?"

Lin Jue replied in a low voice: "It's definitely for you to eat."

Grandpa almost yelled: "Who the hell eats this stuff? I'm not joking with you, once an entity eats human flesh, it's like becoming addicted, they can't quit!"

"I saw that the colleague just now was too thin, so thin that you could see his bones. I just wanted him to eat more."

The teacher's gaze immediately turned cold as he noticed his approach: "What do you want now?"

"No, I don't have any malicious intentions." Lin Jue sat down opposite him and pushed the plate in his hand over: "The aunties' hands are too shaky. I was worried you wouldn't have enough to eat, so I specially gave you my portion."

The teacher was stunned, staring blankly at the plate of rotten meat, asking uncertainly: "Really for me?"

"Of course, I think you're a very reliable colleague. We can definitely become friends in the future. I've always been sincere with my friends." Lin Jue had a friendly smile on his face.

After speaking, he leaned closer and lowered his voice: "Besides, this school is so dangerous. Isn't it better to have a friend who can help each other than to have an enemy lurking around?"

The teacher was about to be moved to tears. In this treacherous school where everyone wanted to devour each other, there was actually such a warm-hearted guy?
