Drillmaster Zhou’s calm composure cracked. He became the first person to run toward where Yun Jian and group were coming from. Looking at Lin Shuya who was passed out, he palmed his forehead.
The other students dropped their jaws in shock while Han Ming staggered back and cried loudly in fear, “Sh-Shuya? No, no, isn’t Shuya already… Is she a ghost? Ah! A ghost!”
Han Ming stumbled back in fear and an embarrassing sense of cowardice.
Despite that, someone had already noticed that the Lin Shuya who Leng Hanzhe’s friends had carried back had warmth to her, proving that she was alive.
“Lin Shuya’s not dead! She’s still breathing!” Several girls who observed more carefully discovered that while Lin Shuya was unconscious, the collar under her nose was lightly fluttering—meaning that she was still breathing.
“W-what’s going on? I saw Lin Shuya’s dead body back then… How’s this possible?” the guy who first found Lin Shuya’s body stepped out to ask in shock.
“You mean the fake body? If you’d looked carefully back then, you can easily see that it was fake. It’s made to look like Lin Shuya but the fact that it’s fake will not change.”
“All of you are so scared back then because Lin Shuya’s been missing for the whole day, so when you saw the body, you instinctively assumed that it was Lin Shuya and did not even take a clear look to see if that’s real or fake.”
Mu Ying who stood next to Yun Jian explained the confusion to the students on behalf of her. She had pretty much exposed everything with what she said.
As a matter of fact, the students had not been thinking to check the corpse after the incident happened. Even Leng Hanzhe dared not look at the corpse directly when he got closer to it. This meant that all of them missed the chance to find out the truth.
“Was it fun being the spy?” Yun Jian suddenly turned to look at Wen Peiling with her arms crossed in front of her and a squint of eyes.
Wen Peiling who was singled out froze.
Drillmaster Zhou froze again as well.
Drillmaster Zhou had been the one to arrange the whole episode this time with the intention to assess the standard of this batch of freshmen. There were actually a lot of loopholes. For example, if the student who made the discovery looked carefully back then and realized that Lin Shuya’s body was not real, there would not have been so many students who pulled out of the competition.
It was basically a test of an individual’s mental strength.
It was just that Drillmaster Zhou had not expected Yun Jian to see through the whole setup.
Drillmaster Zhou was the one who invented the game but right now, he felt like he was the lost sheep who Yun Jian had toyed with.
“Yun Jian, what do you mean? Did Senior Lingling offend you or provoke you? Why are you calling her a spy?” Han Ming quite liked Wen Peiling, so he shouted back the moment he heard what Yun Jian said.
“Ha, nothing can get past you huh. I’ll stop pretending then but I have to say, you’re really good, junior!” Wen Peiling was stunned for a few moments before she replied Yun Jian with a grin upon snapping out of the trance.
To make things seem believable, she had even forced herself to steal glances at Leng Hanzhe like she admired him.
Han Ming had thought that Yun Jian was making a wild accusation only for it to be… Wen Peiling was really…
“Cough, cough. Alright, it’s time to let you guys know. Hmm… I did get Shuya away to drug her into unconsciousness but I’m not one who installed the signal jammers. I’ve been together with all of you and didn’t have the time anyway.”
“As for Shuya, of course you guys won’t realize it when I drugged her. I’m just really curious, junior, how did you find out that I’m on Drillmaster Zhou’s side?” Wen Peiling chuckled openly, ridding her previous façade of a slightly patronizing front, and asked Yun Jian.
Yun Jian met eyes with Wen Peiling. Just as Wen Peiling, Drillmaster Zhou and all the other students trained their gazes on Yun Jian, she smiled and said, “The loophole’s obvious. It’s hard not to notice.”
Her answer made everyone embarrassed. All of them had thought that it was real yet she said that the loophole was obvious? They were flummoxed.
