Chapter 2765 - 1872: Unexpected Incident

Chapter 2765: Chapter 1872: Unexpected Incident

Hehe, I wonder what you little brats have left to jump around about.

Duanmu Huai put away his phone, smiling cheerfully at the council members in front of him, who were visibly losing their composure. He yawned. For the council, this scene was indeed beyond their expectations.

Resurrect Shinza Ichiru?

How could such a thing be possible? The guy has been dead for so many years! How to resurrect him?

Giving the plan this name was just meant to give it some meaning, it doesn’t mean I really brought Shinza Ichiru back to life!

However, they also knew, that no matter what they said, it was useless!

It’s like devising a plan to migrate to outer space, originally everyone thought it was for the Moon, but then someone jumped out saying the goal was colonizing Mars and even confidently presented the contents of the Mars migration plan — even if they just wanted to create a migration framework usable both on the Moon and Mars, but who told you to really write Mars in the document?

So the public would definitely believe it!

Then what can you do? Dispel the rumors? But if you do that, isn’t it admitting you’re incapable? However, if you don’t dispel them — planning to go to Mars without even going to the Moon first? Isn’t that nonsense?

Moreover, this plan is much more dangerous than alien migration, it even involves human experiment! If you tell the public we want to create a being with all sorts of talents, they’d just say they don’t understand what you’re talking about. But if you say you plan to resurrect someone, they’d understand it as possessing corpses, which is comprehensible to them!

But the problem is, these two things are utterly of different difficulty levels!

Even though everyone also knows, if this matter really gets out, although most people will condemn it publicly, many privately might even join in, after all, who wouldn’t like being reborn?

Problem is, "臣妾真的做不到啊" translates to "I really cannot do it"!

We are scientists, not necromancers!

In hindsight, we should never have added Shinza Ichiru’s name just to make a splash, now it’s right down the drain.

Soon, the council members hurriedly left the conference room, and Duanmu Huai stretched lazily and turned to leave.

What’s next, he’ll watch what foolish things this bunch of idiots can still pull off.

Hmm... alright.

Duanmu Huai admitted he underestimated the lower limit of their stupidity.

The fools have locked down the campus!

"Wow, this is really quite the spectacle."

Standing in the hallway, looking at the scenery outside the window, Duanmu Huai was speechless. Those influential students from the preparatory courses mostly already went back home. But the problem lies with those whose backgrounds weren’t so good, who joined the preparatory courses by putting their families into debt — just gotta say, Hope Peak Academy’s appetite is huge, the tuition too high, swallowing too many funds. When they found out everything they traded for was just a scam, they naturally exploded on the spot.

And naturally... a revolt broke out.

They locked down the campus, demanding the council come out and give them justice. Meanwhile, the council was being entangled by the rumors Duanmu Huai spread and had no time to deal with the students. Although they did call the police, given the sheer number of students, the police dared not act rashly.

After all, the students’ anger was directed towards the school. If they intervened leading the students to clash with them — those capitalists at Hope Peak hanging from lamp posts is their own business, but if they got into conflict with the students, and is streamed live, their police uniforms would surely be gone.

Currently, outside the school gates, there were nearly a thousand students, holding up signs and shouting loudly, some even jumped over the closed gates intending to rush into the school, engaging the guards on duty.

"I really didn’t expect things to turn out like this..."

Other students also arrived at the hallway, watching the distant riot anxiously. Duanmu Huai coldly snorted.

"The council is full of idiots. If it were up to me, I’d directly grab those money-greedy folks and tie them up, then throw them out, they caused the mess, why keep us locked in here? How does their embezzlement concern us?"

"Teacher Duanmu is right, what does this have to do with us?"

"Yeah, yeah...!"

The students were already dissatisfied, and hearing Duanmu Huai speak felt like finding a backbone, agreeing enthusiastically, scaring Xue Ranqian Sha into hurriedly intervening.

"Everyone, please calm down, this... this... we should follow the school’s arrangements."

"But hasn’t the school made no arrangements till now?"

Anya discontentedly complained, as a leader, she hated those who took money without doing their jobs the most, let alone those who deceived, if it were in her country, Anya would certainly have them all executed!

"What are they doing? At this moment, shouldn’t the principal be stepping out to speak and soothe the students, instead of adopting this confrontational attitude, what good does it do?"

"Well said."

Duanmu Huai nodded.

"Since those idlers won’t come out themselves, let’s go drag them out."

With that, Duanmu Huai turned and started walking to the other side of the hallway.

"Teacher Duanmu? Where are you going?"

"To the principal’s office! I want to see how long those cowardly lowlifes can hide in the school!"

"Great idea!"

Although Duanmu Huai wasn’t as close as Xue Ranqian Sha, he still had considerable prestige in the class. Hearing Duanmu wanting to capture people, other students grew excited.

"We’ll go too! Why should we suffer here for the mess they made!"

"Indeed, indeed!"

Originally, those with excellent talents were all pretty self-centered, previously Duanmu Huai displayed his strength and suppressed them a bit. Now with Duanmu taking initiative himself, others, who were already dissatisfied, naturally joined in. Only Xue Ranqian Sha appeared bewildered and incredibly shocked.

"Wait, wait a minute, everyone, this isn’t right, what you’re doing is going against the school..."

However, no one paid her any attention. Soon, a group of people arrived with a rumble at the principal’s office, and Duanmu Huai kicked the door open.

"Principal! Get your dead body out here... oh, it looks like you really can’t."

"Huh?"

Seeing the aggressive Duanmu Huai suddenly stopped, everyone else was stunned. They looked into the room and were shocked.

Inside the principal’s office, a middle-aged man was sitting behind the desk, his head tilted back, eyes wide open. Pink blood flowed down his cheeks, dyeing his entire face pink...

Wait, why is it pink?

Duanmu Huai silently glanced at the corpse.

Well, luckily the Tribunal identifies races through skulls and not blood, otherwise...

"Huh?"

"This is...?"

"How could this be... the principal?"

Looking at the principal, who had fallen behind the desk and turned into a corpse, everyone was dumbfounded, and meanwhile, a previously silent broadcast suddenly sounded, and a strange voice appeared.

"Ah, ah, mic test, mic test, campus broadcast, campus broadcast... A body has been discovered! Please find the murderer of the principal and after a period of free time, hold a class trial!"

"This is the voice coming from the broadcast room!"

"Let’s hurry over and take a look!"

"Wait, everyone...!"

Soon, a portion of the students left the scene with Xue Ranqian Sha, while Duanmu Huai stood at the door, curiously observing the corpse.

He naturally recognized this person, it was indeed the principal of Hope Peak Academy, and it was obvious he was murdered... which means... damn!

Cunning Deception, you’re pulling this kind of trick!

The thing I hate the most is detective games!

"Teacher, what should we do now?"

Standing not far from Duanmu Huai, Nanami Chitose asked, and Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes.

"What should we do? Do nothing! Call the police, just say the principal is dead, let the police come in and investigate!"

"Okay...!"

Hearing Duanmu Huai’s words, Sonia quickly took out her phone to dial the police, but...

"Huh? How strange, the call can’t get through?"

"No signal..."

"Me neither..."

Soon, the other students also took out their phones to make calls, and then gave the same response.

"Then just go out and find the police, they’re outside the school, right?"

Though there’s a crowd of rioting students in the way.

"Those students are blocking the way, the police can’t come in, right?"

"But there’s been a murder here, won’t they stop blocking the school then...?"

Listening to the discussions of the students around, Duanmu Huai went to the hallway and looked out the window again.

"Oh, don’t worry, they won’t block the school anymore."

"Huh? Really? Have those students left?"

"No, they’ve rushed in."

"...... Huh huh huh?!"

Hearing Duanmu Huai’s words, everyone hurried to the hallway and looked out the window. They saw the originally tightly closed main gate somehow tilted to the side, with a large group of students, holding various weapons, storming in. The security guards trying to stop them were all knocked to the ground. A group of students, wielding sticks, brutally assaulted the security guards standing in their way, knocking them down. After the large group of students charged through, only a few unrecognizable bodies were left on the ground.

"How did it come to this..."

Seeing this scene, the students’ faces changed dramatically.

"Why aren’t the police stepping in?"

"Don’t count on those guys."

Duanmu Huai squinted at the flashing police lights in the distance. Normally, in cases like this, the police should take action, but they were still not moving, which clearly indicated a problem.

Who knows if it’s because of the game map’s rule restriction—see, like in many games, the protagonist kills all the enemies, and the police and soldiers arrive late, it’s such a cliché storyline...

"From now on, we can only rely on ourselves."
