Chapter 24. Dekan Start Spouting Nonsense

Cornelia trotted to the side of the serving cart, picked up the plate that was originally her dinner, then brought it to my side and began to enjoy it.

I leaned back in my chair, staring at the ceiling, recalling the intelligence I had just obtained in my mind.

Now that I had a considerable intelligence advantage, I needed to plan the subsequent conquest route carefully.

After we rested, there would still be nine and a half hours left.

Although Mission Objective 2 (rescue hostages) had been achieved, the progress of Mission Objective 1 (explore the map) was now only at 8.6%.

It was still far from the required 50% or more.

There were two reasons for such slow progress.

First, Cornelia and I had stayed in this room for too long.

Exploring the cooking classroom only increased the total progress by about 1%.

Second, we had not yet reached the boss room.

The boss room would very likely reward an extremely high amount of exploration progress.

Fortunately, the exploration speed of the other four challengers was not bad.

The configuration of the four was very likely one Tier 5, two Tier 4s, and one useless person.

In the matching mechanism, it wasn't that a team of one Tier 5 and one Tier 3 would be judged as suitable for Tier 4 difficulty. A Tier 5 challenger had the ability to brute-force some of the stages in a Tier 4 Shadow World. The advantage brought by this might require several low-tier challengers to balance it out.

So both Cornelia and I were used to balance out the advantage of the Tier 5 challenger.

Or we were supposed to be cannon fodder.

"It's a good thing we could meet such a good teacher like Bach."

I couldn't help but exclaim.

Cornelia, who was eating the dinner on her plate, glanced at me.

She still held back from making a sarcastic comment.

She felt that ever since I arrived in the Shadow World, it was as if I had completely unshackled myself from moral constraints.

But that was also good.

This made her, as a teammate, feel more at ease.

Without having to use her brain, she could easily conquer the Shadow World just by hitting wherever I pointed.

There was nothing more ideal than this.

...

"Cheers!"

I lightly tapped Cornelia's wine glass.

The two of us started drinking.

After dealing with Baron Bach, we discovered that this classroom was actually quite nice.

What banquet of slaughter?

This was supposed to be a candlelight dinner!

If the other few teammates were a bit more capable, the two of us would have been too lazy to go out.

"Sigh, let's continue the celebration party after we get back."

I sighed, already feeling a bit unwilling to move.

"We must have a good meal then."

Cornelia also leaned back in her chair, feeling that this Shadow World was really quite harmonious and beautiful.

Me: "If we keep setting up flags, even the two of us might not be able to return safely."

Cornelia: "What does 'flag' mean?"

Me: "There are some death lines that, once said, you basically won't survive. Anyway, you can't just say whatever you want, especially when many people are watching us."

Cornelia: "Understood."

I looked at the time and stood up somewhat reluctantly.

It was about time to set off.

I walked to Baron Bach's side, untied the steel wire rope that bound him, and rummaged through his pocket to find the Demon Pass.

"Cornelia, please take Baron Bach with you."

"Okay."

Cornelia walked over quickly, grabbed Baron Bach by his feet, and dragged him out of the classroom.

It was now break time, and the two of us were walking in the corridor.

From time to time, passing students cast surprised glances at us.

It was the first time the demon students had ever seen a student dragging an unconscious teacher down the corridor!

And on the teacher's head, there was such a large, conspicuous wound.

It was as if his head had been somewhat deformed by being smashed with a blunt weapon.

Could it be that these two did it?

The students dared to think but not ask.

They were afraid of provoking these two demons who looked very troublesome.

...

Based on the intelligence from the interrogation, I soon found our destination—the infirmary.

As one of the few public facilities that Bach knew quite well, the infirmary of this school was also very abnormal.

The demon school doctor in the infirmary would experiment on the injured.

If an injured person went in, there was a chance they would be cured, but there was also a chance they would be used for experiments by the school doctor. But if an uninjured student hid inside, they would be forcibly captured by the demon school doctor for experiments. Although they would suffer great pain, there was a chance of being strengthened.

It was a functional room that was quite dependent on luck.

Cornelia and I, one after the other, rushed into this room in a feigned hurry.

This room looked nothing like an infirmary at all, but more like some "Frankenstein's" laboratory.

It was filled with an air of darkness and decay everywhere. In the jars and bottles on the cabinets, black liquid soaked the organs of unknown creatures. Leaning against the wall, in a row of huge glass chambers, lay various creatures. Some were skinny, while others were covered in red sarcomas all over their bodies.

And in front of the operating table in the middle of the infirmary was a figure with his back to me.

Seemingly having discovered the visitors, he turned his head.

This school doctor was a gaunt old man with a terrifying face, on which were embedded various metal plates.

And what he was holding in his hand was not a scalpel but a saw.

He exuded a suffocating stench of decay, and the killing intent in his eyes was also unconcealed. It seemed he had found prey and was about to attack Cornelia and me in the next second.

Just as he was about to start the killing mechanism of this room.

"Our Teacher Bach has food poisoning! Please save him!"

I shouted first.

"Baron Bach?"

The demon school doctor was stunned at first, then his attention was quickly and completely drawn to the demon being dragged by Cornelia.

He seemed to have discovered something very interesting. He put down the saw in his hand and quickly walked behind Cornelia, looking at the unconscious figure on the ground.

"Put him on the operating table."

The demon school doctor soon paid no more attention to Cornelia and me, only giving this order.

Cornelia, as requested, moved Baron Bach over and laid him flat on the operating table.

Then she retreated to my side.

The demon school doctor began to feel around on Baron Bach's body. After checking for a long time, he seemed to have finally confirmed that this guy was Baron Bach.

"Why is there such a big wound on his head?"

The school doctor asked, puzzled.

"The teacher went crazy after getting food poisoning and kept hurting himself. In the end, he actually hit his head on the corner of a table and passed out."

"When he was still conscious, he told us that as long as he was sent to the infirmary, he could be saved, and he agreed to let you perform any modifications on him!"

I spouted nonsense with a straight face.

The corner of the demon school doctor's mouth twitched as he listened.

Damn it, it was obviously you two who did it!

Although he didn't know how Cornelia and I managed it, he didn't want to listen to my nonsense anymore.

Because he was already eager to modify Bach.

The opportunity to modify a teacher was very rare.

Even if everything I said was a lie, as long as there was a reasonable explanation here, he could just pretend to be ignorant and modify Bach. When the time came, the principal couldn't hold the demon school doctor responsible.

"Tsk, you two get out first. I'll let you go."

The demon school doctor urged the two of us to leave and restrained Bach on the operating table...

I gave Cornelia a thumbs-up.

Plan succeeded.

The exploration progress increased by about 1% without any effort.
