Chapter 250 Students' Actions
The perspective turned to the other side. At the last moment of the second captain's life, while thinking about the revolving lantern, the third captain was carrying out his mission.
According to the original mission design, the third team was the reserve team, and in the process of carrying out the mission, he also needed to mark other students who were not important mission targets to avoid unnecessary information leakage.
This mission was a very simple thing from the beginning. He only needed to unfold his martial soul and attach a unique marking smell to these lovely students. Then he could track them with this smell mark that was so weak that it could not be identified by special martial souls or soul beasts.
But it happened that Xiao Wu left the dormitory on a whim. The chain reaction caused by this incident made these students not fall asleep as he expected.
It was late at night, and the starlight sprinkled on the windows of the dormitory building, reflecting a dreamlike atmosphere.
Fei Jinyue turned over, felt her throat dry, and got up to pour a glass of water at the desk. While drinking water, she looked at the other people in the dormitory. They were all sleeping soundly, only Xiao Wu's bed was still lit with a small table lamp, which seemed particularly warm.
Fei Jinyue thought that Xiao Wu must be reading her favorite novel again, and wondered if there was anything new in today's plot.
She had always been curious about Xiao Wu's novels, but Xiao Wu never lent them to her, saying that they were her personal collection. Fei Jinyue thought this was Xiao Wu's excuse and kept thinking about it.
Fei Jinyue finished drinking the water and quietly walked back to her bed, but when she passed by Xiao Wu's bed, she couldn't help but take a second look. She wanted to see if Xiao Wu was still reading or if she had fallen asleep.
She hoped to take a peek at her novel while Xiao Wu was asleep to see what the content was.
She gently lifted Xiao Wu's quilt, trying to find her target, but she discovered an astonishing fact. There was no Xiao Wu on Xiao Wu's bed, only a pillow placed in her pillowcase, supporting the shape of the quilt.
Fei Jinyue was stunned for a moment, she couldn't believe her eyes. She remembered that when she walked by Xiao Wu's bed just now, she didn't hear any breathing. She suddenly realized that Xiao Wu was no longer in the dormitory. She didn't know where she went, nor why she did this.
"Ah~~~!"
Fei Jinyue's scream was like a sharp blade that cut through the tranquility of the dormitory at night. Everyone who was asleep or awake was startled by the scream.
The first person to react was her roommate Beier. He was drowsy and cast his eyes towards the source of the noise. When she saw the abrupt pillow on the bed, a chill ran from the soles of her feet to her forehead, making her sleepiness disappear instantly.
Soon, all the students arrived outside the girls' dormitory one after another. They were anxious to ask about the situation inside. When they learned the specific matters, the first one who couldn't hold back was the man who had always regarded Xiao Wu as his sister.
At this time, Tang San was no longer the calm, smart, and thoughtful boy, but a man who had lost the most important person, his heart was like a knife, and he was in pain.
He used his Purple Demon Eye to search for traces everywhere, but only found an unobstructed footprint that spread towards the Star Dou Great Forest. He didn't understand why Xiao Wu did this, why she left him and them without any warning.
He didn't believe that Xiao Wu would do this to the students who had walked with her. She must have something unspeakable, or was forced by someone, or tempted by something.
"Xiao Wu, why did Xiao Wu leave without saying goodbye?!" Tang San, who loved to go to extremes, was red-eyed at this time.
No matter how hard these guys tried, they couldn't think that Xiao Wu's departure was just because of the crisis sense from the blood, because of the sudden impulse.
This farce of Xiao Wu's disappearance lasted for an hour, and everyone yawned and returned to the dormitory, but how many people could sleep at this moment?
Not long ago, after Teacher Zhao brought back food and solved the urgent needs of the academy, everyone in Shrek had a rare period of smooth days, which almost made them forget the huge pressure brought by the various events that had happened before.
At this time, Xiao Wu's inexplicable disappearance finally brought back the memories they tried to forget from the bottom of their hearts. The crisis of closing the school was involved in an inexplicable major event, and everyone in the city was hostile to them. Food was difficult.
All these things kept emerging in their minds at midnight, and the pictures and sounds in the memories echoed in their thoughts. These children who should have grown up heartlessly had rare insomnia.
And it was precisely this insomnia that saved them.
It was early in the morning, and Tang San was motionless in bed at this time, and his big blood-red eyes in the dark were particularly scary. At this time, he kept recalling the details he had discovered before.
He didn't believe from the bottom of his heart that Xiao Wu, who usually got along well with everyone, would leave without saying goodbye under such circumstances. He suspected that there was something fishy about it, but no matter the traces left or the logic of her behavior, everything told him that it was Xiao Wu's own will.
Suddenly, a faint fragrance, light and long, pierced his nose like a thin needle. His memory, the memory from the previous world, was poked by this thin needle and exploded instantly.
He immediately recognized this scent, the scent of the Night Gray Moth. It is a common method used by people in the world to track or mark targets. It is extracted from the scent glands of special male insects.
Its smell is extremely faint and even difficult to distinguish, but as long as the female insect already locked in the grass cage is used as a guide, the marked target can be found twenty miles away.
Tang San dug out this information from the huge memory palace in the previous world. He knew that this was a dangerous signal, that someone was secretly watching them.
Tang San rolled up, quietly came to Oscar's bedside, and covered his mouth. Oscar was suddenly awakened from his sleep.
Oscar's exclamation was firmly suppressed by Tang San. He looked at his partner in confusion, only to see Tang San gesture with his lips with his hand, and then let go of the hand covering his mouth.
"Xiao San, what's wrong?" Oscar looked sleepy, looking at the confused Tang San in confusion.
"Emergency, we are being targeted! The attackers are evil and sophisticated. You are also preparing to detoxify the flying sausages. I will wake up the others!" Tang San stared at Oscar's eyes and narrated in an extremely serious manner. Knowing the current situation, his blood-red eyes were extremely convincing at this time.
After explaining the details of the matter, Tang San quietly came to the other students and used the same process to wake them up.
At this moment, a sound from far away attracted the attention of everyone in the dormitory.
The third captain couldn't help but stop releasing the scent and looked in the direction of his two partners in the distance, "Oh my, it seems like they can't do much without the support of our third team. Things didn't go as planned. It went so smoothly, and they all were exposed. On the other hand, everything went smoothly on my side.”
He rubbed his smooth chin with his hand, "Our mission here has been completed, so, do you think you want to go over and help the first and second teams without asking them yet?"
The team members on the side quickly stopped their captain's suggestion, "Forget it, captain, don't you know what kind of virtue they both have? Don't be like before, their good intentions are regarded as troublesome, and they throw the blame on us. Originally, the three groups Their functions are rearguard and auxiliary, so we can safely leave the raid to them."
"It makes sense, let's continue to wait." The third captain did not intend to continue to spread the mark, and continued to monitor the surroundings in his spare time.
However, those students who he originally thought were just ants and weeds were now preparing to give them a big surprise.
