"The bloody slaughter didn't make me feel uncomfortable at all; instead, it brought me immense satisfaction and a great sense of fulfillment."

In the school, a masked figure moved around, exuding a special Ghost Aura. His pristine school uniform was stained with bright red blood, and the scent of blood mingled with the Ghost Aura, spreading through the air.

"Could this be my true self?"

The Wraith Mask only amplifies the deepest Negative Emotions within the wearer.

Therefore, different people experience different effects when wearing it.

Qin Nuo looked at his blood-stained clothes, still with bits of flesh hanging on them, unable to believe that he harbored such intense Negative Emotions.

Checking the time, Qin Nuo pushed aside these irrelevant thoughts and focused on the candy in his hand.

"The game time is limited; I need to hurry and collect candy."

"Now that I'm the cat, I can walk openly, hiding my identity. No one knows I'm Li Xiaoming. Problems that can be solved with violence don't need to be solved with words."

Qin Nuo murmured, feeling a sense of liberation.

...

Meanwhile, in another corridor.

Three students walked, their bodies bearing dried bloodstains and numerous shocking wounds.

"Damn it, risking our lives for just two candies wasn't worth it."

"We might as well find a place to hide. Who cares about the main quest? Even playing our roles is a problem now."

"Don't even mention it. The family of the little ghost I'm playing all have cannibalistic tendencies. They eat human flesh every night. It doesn't taste like anything, but just thinking about what it is makes me want to puke!"

"It's baffling. The instances I've entered before were never this difficult. This one is driving me to the brink of a breakdown."

"I'm puzzled too. Aren't instances above level 10 supposed to be hell-level? This level 5 instance doesn't seem any easier."

Their conversation revealed that the three were Players. Huddled together in the black fog, they felt a bit safer.

Originally, there were seven of them, but they accidentally stumbled into a music room.

Under the torment of a terrifying music teacher with a rotting face, four were eliminated. The fact that these three managed to leave the classroom alive was largely due to luck.

"Where to now?"

"Find a place to hide. Wandering around might lead us into more torturous areas. I'm done with this damned Children's Day event."

The other two nodded in agreement.

But after only a few steps, they stopped, their expressions changing slightly as if they sensed something.

"There's a sound approaching."

One Player's face changed, and he immediately said, "Run!"

However, as he turned, a figure was already blocking his path.

Qin Nuo looked at the three, thinking he finally encountered some Players. Behind the mask, his eyes were cold and devoid of any emotion: "Do you have any candy?"

"No candy, face the consequences."

"Is this a teacher?"

The three were uncertain, but the demon-like mask and those terrifying eyes made them sure that lacking candy would have severe consequences.

"Hand it over."

The three exchanged glances, feeling helpless. They hadn't even warmed the candy in their hands yet.

One by one, they handed over their candies, totaling seven. With the ones Qin Nuo had, it made ten.

"Robbing is indeed efficient. I was foolishly busy for half a day; my brain is really slow!" Qin Nuo thought to himself, holding the candy.

He looked at the three expectantly: "Lucky kids, the teacher wishes you a happy Children's Day!"

With that, Qin Nuo turned and disappeared into the black fog.

The three Players looked at each other, relieved yet feeling something was off.

...

In the black fog, Qin Nuo continued his spree, catching several students who, fortunately, all had candy.

Qin Nuo opened the ranking Panel; he had accumulated 17 candies, while the first-place Player's candy count was increasing slowly. After more than ten minutes, they only had 25 candies, closing the gap.

"If I could meet that first-place guy, it would be fun." Qin Nuo thought, eagerly anticipating it. The uneventful minutes had his Negative Emotions rising again, and his restless mood made him crave an outlet.

As he was thinking, a familiar voice suddenly came from ahead.

"Student, it's a pity you couldn't complete my test."

Then came the sound of tearing, blood splattering on the floor, and a bloody head rolled out, stopping at Qin Nuo's feet.

Mr. Yan emerged with a black bag, hesitating slightly upon seeing Qin Nuo.

Qin Nuo picked up the head.

He recognized it as belonging to a Player from his class.

"Mr. Yan, you dropped something." Qin Nuo handed the head to Mr. Yan, his eyes calm, showing no panic.

Mr. Yan ignored the head and asked, "Who are you? I don't think I've seen you before."

Qin Nuo replied indifferently, "A newly transferred teacher."

Mr. Yan squinted his eyes: "It's been a long time since a new teacher came, and I haven't heard the principal mention any new transfers."

Qin Nuo felt a slight suspicion. Did Mr. Yan know who the principal was?

No, that's not right.

Previously, Mr. Yan mentioned that the principal was a mischievous person, unseen by anyone, yet now he changed his tune.

Clearly, Mr. Yan was testing him.

Using the mysterious principal to discern his identity.

Qin Nuo chuckled, nonchalantly saying, "Mr. Yan, you're quite humorous. Do you remember what the principal looks like? I've never seen him."

Mr. Yan's squinted eyes flickered with an unclear light, and after a moment, he smiled blandly: "Just joking."

"But perhaps you've already seen him without realizing it. I've heard the principal used to be an actor, fond of performing. To prove his acting skills, he often disguises himself as those around you, making you unaware of the switch."

"Though no one has ever seen him, he's everywhere. Anyone could be him."

Mr. Yan said half-jokingly.

But his words made Qin Nuo's heart slightly heavy.

The game introduction mentioned that the mysterious principal would also participate in this Children's Day event.

Qin Nuo hadn't seen him from the start, but perhaps, as Mr. Yan suggested, he had already met him, deceived by his superb acting!

Qin Nuo pondered.

Mr. Yan stared at Qin Nuo, his squinted eyes carrying a hint of coldness.

Smiling, he said, "This teacher, you look very familiar, much like one of my students."

"Could it be that you are him?"

As he spoke, the black veins on Mr. Yan's face began to writhe eerily, exuding a sense of malice.
