Chapter 7 Helpless

"There are still fifteen minutes left before the end of the exam. Please pay attention to the exam time."

The sound of the radio woke Lin Yi up.

Opening his eyes, Lin Yi saw the test paper in front of him.

He remembered this test paper, which was the test paper on the morning of June 8.

"Ah--" Lin Yi was full of anger.

He finally made up his mind to survive, but he died in the end.

Not only that, this time it was not a monster that killed him, but Zhou Kai, who was also a human like him.

"This candidate, loud noises are prohibited in the examination room."

The invigilator came over, and other students in the examination room also looked at Lin Yi.

"Get out!" Lin Yi yelled and stood up from his chair.

Looking back at the back row, Lin Yi saw the familiar figure.

"Zhou-Kai--" Lin Yi walked over, grabbed Zhou Kai's collar and lifted him up.

"What are you doing?" Zhou Kai looked puzzled.

"This examinee, please stop immediately."

The invigilator wanted to stop Lin Yi: "If you continue like this, I will disqualify you from the exam."

"I'll hand in my paper!" Lin Yi glared at the invigilator.

Even though Lin Yi knew that the invigilator in front of him was a monster, he was no longer afraid at this time.

As long as he didn't reveal that he had discovered their true identity, the monster would not attack rashly.

At least not before June 10.

"He handed in his paper too!" Lin Yi pulled Zhou Kai's collar and walked out of the classroom.

"Let me go!" Zhou Kai broke away from Lin Yi's hand, "Are you sick?"

Lin Yi gritted his teeth and moved closer, whispering in Zhou Kai's ear: "If you want to save your sister, just follow me honestly."

Hearing this, Zhou Kai's face darkened.

Lin Yi didn't stop, and decisively turned around and walked out of the classroom.

"Examinee, are you in trouble?" the invigilator asked, "Do you need help?"

Zhou Kai shook his head and said, "No, teacher, I'll hand in my paper too."

After that, Zhou Kai quickly chased after him.

On the rooftop of the teaching building, Lin Yi stared at the stairwell.

Seeing Zhou Kai walk in, Lin Yi rushed over without hesitation and raised his hand to punch him.

Unfortunately, this punch did not hit Zhou Kai.

Zhou Kai's skills were much more flexible than Lin Yi imagined. He just turned sideways and dodged easily.

"Don't hide!" Lin Yi steadied himself and said, "Stand there and let me punch you. You owe me this."

"What exactly do you want to say when you call me over?" Zhou Kai's face was a little solemn, "What happened to my sister?"

"Wait until I punch you before I tell you!" Lin Yi ignored Zhou Kai and rushed over again.

The fist that was swung was caught by Zhou Kai, who swept his leg and instantly pressed Lin Yi to the ground.

"Zhou Kai! Fuck you!" Lin Yi cursed.

He wanted to stand up, but found that he couldn't get away at all, "Your sister's life is life, but my life is not life?"

"In order to save your sister, can you kill me without hesitation?"

"Why? I finally mustered up the courage to survive the monster, but I didn't expect to die in your hands in the end!"

"What did you say?" Zhou Kai's face sank and asked, "What do you know?"

Lin Yi gritted his teeth and told the content of their conversation.

"Can't you talk about it nicely? You suddenly stabbed me with a knife. Do you know how painful it is to be stabbed with a knife? Stab you and try it!" Lin Yi kept complaining, feeling very aggrieved.

Zhou Kai let go of his hand and looked at Lin Yi half-doubtingly: "You mean, my sister will be killed by the monster this afternoon?"

"How do I know?" Lin Yi climbed up from the ground.

"Anyway, that's what you said when you stabbed me."

"You said that after the exam in the afternoon, you found that your sister had turned into a monster after you went back. You also told me to tell you about this and that you must save your sister.".

"I'm wondering, how do you know your sister turned into a monster? Did you see it with your own eyes?"

Zhou Kai frowned and said: "Heartbeat."

"Heartbeat?" Lin Yi was confused, "What do you mean?"

"Monsters and humans have different heartbeat frequencies." Zhou Kai continued, "My ability is enhanced senses. I can tell whether the other person is a monster by the heartbeat I hear."

Lin Yi remembered that in the past, Zhou Kai and he were on the rooftop, but he could see his mother going upstairs, and even smell Lin Yi's scent on his mother.

The reason why Zhou Kai called Lin Yi on June 9 and told him not to go to the back mountain was because Zhou Kai knew that Lin Yi was a human, and the other classmates were monsters.

"That is to say, after you went back this afternoon, you judged that your sister was no longer your sister through her heartbeat?"

"That's not right." Lin Yi felt a little strange, "When I was killed by Gu Zijin before, she told me that monsters have their own preferences for eating people."

"Some monsters like to eat children, and some like to eat adults."

"If your sister was killed by monsters, it means that they like to eat people of your sister's age. Then, shouldn't you be the first person to be eaten?"

Zhou Kai shook his head and said: "My situation is different from yours. The monster disguised as your parents raised you, but I grew up in an orphanage."

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment. Thinking back, Lin Yi really didn't understand Zhou Kai in front of him.

I don't know his family background, I don't know his personality, I only know that he is withdrawn... Now there is one more thing, he is a sister-con.

Come to think of it, if Lin Yi knew Zhou Kai well enough, he would not be stabbed to death by him.

"If it was an orphanage..." Lin Yi thought about it, and then asked, "How can the monsters in the orphanage eat people?"

"For these monsters, the orphanage is their store." Zhou Kai said, "When I was very young, I found that I had special abilities."

"Through this ability, I discovered the existence of monsters, and I also found that every time people who came to the orphanage to adopt children were monsters."

"Their purpose is not to adopt children, but to choose food."

Hearing this, Lin Yi thought of the child in Grandma Liu's arms before.

Perhaps, that child was also brought back by Grandma Liu in this way.

"Then how did you survive until now?" Looking at Zhou Kai in front of him, Lin Yi couldn't help but admire him.

At least Lin Yi only had to face the two monsters, his father and mother, but Zhou Kai, who grew up in an orphanage, was different. He had to face batches of monsters.

"Every time a monster comes to the orphanage to select children, I will secretly steal my sister and I's information, and then take my sister to hide temporarily."

Zhou Kai explained: "With my ability, this is not a difficult task."

"After the monsters who select children leave, I will quietly put the information back to avoid being discovered by those monsters."

"Since you already knew about the existence of monsters, why didn't you act earlier?" Lin Yi was puzzled.

"Action?" Zhou Kai asked with a wry smile, "How to act? Do you know how many monsters there are in this world?"

"Let's not talk about other places for now, let's just talk about our class. Except for you and me, everyone else is a monster! This is the case for a class, let alone other places."

"After those monsters kill people, other monsters will replace their identities. Of course, not everyone will be replaced. There are also some people who die and die."

"No one remembers them. After being eaten by monsters, they disappeared from this world forever. It's as if... they had never been here."

"Wait a minute." Lin Yi frowned, "That's not right."

He thought for a while and then said: "In addition to you and me, there should be one person in our class who is not a monster."

"Impossible." Zhou Kai shook his head.

"Why is it impossible? Lu Linhai is one." Lin Yi said.

"Lu Linhai? No, he is also a monster."
