Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

Chapter 294 Bloody Words

After saying this bunch of confusing words, Du Boan fainted.

A dark cloud hung over everyone's heads.

The four goddesses looked at the other candidates and found that they were in a similar situation.

"Since last night, a number of pre-service students have been experiencing symptoms," an older doctor said, taking a break from his busy schedule. "Tests have shown all their physical indicators are normal, and they're not contagious. Yet, more and more pre-service students are falling ill, and the health room is almost full... This is truly bizarre!"

"What should we do now?" Zhuque looked at Qinglong anxiously.

Qinglong pondered for a moment, then slowly said:

"Of course, we need to calm everyone down first. Baihu, you lead a team to set up an isolation zone in the auditorium. Without knowing the condition of the candidates, try to prevent them from coming into contact. Zhuque, you will take all the sick candidates to the isolation zone and take good care of them. Xuanwu, you will be responsible for the security of the isolation zone and keep outsiders away. I will be in charge of the daily work."

After saying all this, Qinglong looked at the last-place team again.

"We're seriously short-staffed right now. Could you please go and see what Chairman Tianyi is doing? If he's involved, the gossip reporters will probably behave themselves. Regarding our plans from yesterday, let's put them on hold for now."

Without further ado, everyone took action quickly.

.

At this time, the gossip reporters were like a group of cats stealing fish, and they were very concerned about the strange things happening in the Four Gods Base.

Chairman Tianyi used all his life's wisdom to skillfully deal with the gossip reporters.

But Chairman Tianyi knew this was merely a desperate measure to delay matters. He could only hope from the bottom of his heart that the Four Goddesses would quickly resolve the matter and spare him further humiliation.

"Why is this so……"

The tail-end team watched from afar the heated exchange between Chairman Tianyi and the gossip reporter, and they couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for Chairman Tianyi.

“Think about it, why are we okay?”

Yi Yin pondered, "It seems that all the candidates have been infected, but why are only us..."

"Could it be a flash diamond card?"

Jiaozi quickly analyzed the situation. "Yesterday, Chairman Tianyi handed out a ton of Diamond Cards, and that very night someone was about to get sick. It's hard not to think too much."

"Rather than suspecting this, it's better to suspect that there's poison in the restaurant's food."

Yi Yin shook his head and said, "It seems that missing two meals for us was really a blessing in disguise... But who was the one who poisoned the food? Someone who could poison the food without anyone noticing, could it be a spy from the Four Gods Base?"

"There's no point in just guessing like this,"

Di Qi said coldly, "Our first priority now is to inform Chairman Tianyi."

Chairman Tianyi led all the gossip reporters to the reception room, and the tail-end team hurriedly followed.

.

In the reception room.

As soon as Chairman Tianyi and the gossip reporter arrived at the reception room, the four goddesses arrived.

Behind them, there were many preparatory students who had fallen ill. They looked rosy-cheeked and did not look sick at all.

"Chairman Tianyi, according to my preliminary judgment, the conditions of the candidates have been brought under some control." Qinglong replied respectfully.

Seeing this, the gossip reporters shook their heads and walked away.

Before the last-place team could figure out what had happened, the preparatory students rushed to the restaurant like hungry wolves - it was time for dinner.

.

Inside the restaurant, a large group of candidates were feasting on the delicious food with great enthusiasm.

Their appetites suddenly became very good and they quickly finished the food in their bowls, but they were still not satisfied and kept asking for more food.

"I really can't do anything about you."

Zhuque shook his head and had no choice but to summon Quail Fire to cook with even greater intensity.

Even so, it still couldn't satisfy the bottomless appetites of the candidates, who were still devouring everything in front of them.

"It smells good. It smells really good."

Du Bo'an turned into a big eater, eating meat buns as big as fists in one bite, which made people applaud.

"Du Bo'an, eat slowly, don't choke." Bubulu kindly reminded.

"I feel great now! All the food I ate has been converted into energy within me. It's almost bursting out of my body, hahahaha!"

Du Boan ate more and more, and couldn't stop eating. He looked a little scary.

"that……"

Everyone was feeling shocked when they suddenly heard someone whispering.

Yi Yin looked over and found that it was Xing Qiri, whom she had not seen for many days.

"Brother Yiyin, you are here..."

Xing Qiri bit his lips, frowned, and looked very worried.

"What happened? I went to Brother Ye's place at the Ghost Market last night to do some work. I only got back this morning and missed breakfast...but when I got back, I saw this."

"Is such that……"

Yi Yin briefly told Xing Qiri about what had happened recently, including the sudden illness of the preparatory students.

The more Xing Qiri listened, the worse his expression became, and in the end he even wanted to run away.

"It's over! Brother Yiyin, they must have contracted the legendary 'Blood Cross'. We can't stay here any longer. Let's run away!"

"'Blood Cross'? What on earth is that?"

Yi Yin wanted to ask Xing Qiri more about the "Blood Cross", but Xing Qiri didn't want to talk about it. He slipped away while everyone was still eating.

"Four Goddesses, thank you for your continued care for me. Logically, I should fight for the Four Gods Base until the very end... but I simply don't have the ability! Take my advice, and run! The Four Gods Base will be destroyed soon!"

After saying that, as if he was afraid that it would be his turn to suffer the next second, Xing Qiri ran away.

At the same time, Di Qi frowned.

"Could it be that... 'Blood Cross'?"

Di Qi swallowed his saliva. "My eldest brother once told me that 'Blood Cross' is a terrifying virus, a mutation of the gamma virus, and it's extremely contagious! Infected people will actively infect uninfected people, losing their basic rationality and amplifying their inner desires without limit! According to existing records on Blue Star, 'Blood Cross' once completely wiped out the entire population of an entire continent!"

Selina's face turned pale with fear. "I think I saw it in a book somewhere... Is it the fourth continent on Blue Star? A long time ago, because all the creatures on the fourth continent were infected by the 'Blood Cross', the Monster Master Management Association directly cleared out all the creatures on that continent..."

Of course, not everyone could understand. Bubulu was a little confused about the current situation.

"Iin, what do you think? Everyone might seem a little strange, but I don't think it's that serious yet, right?"

Faced with Bubulu's words, Yiyin didn't know how to respond.
