Volume 1: Breaking the Cage
Escape 03
Legal Hunting
There are many people in the cafeteria, some queuing, some already eating. If you don’t look carefully, it seems no different from a normal campus.
The cafeteria serving auntie’s hand still shakes habitually, the only advantage is probably that you don’t need to swipe a meal card to eat.
Xin Lan queued at the stir-fry side, which in fact is also where the most people are.
Stir-fry is considered quite good in cafeteria standards. Although it might be made by the same master chef, it still tastes a bit better compared to the cheaper meals over there.
In this situation, and with it being free, everyone would choose to eat a bit better.
Xin Lan moved forward with the queue and saw her ex-boyfriend and Study Genius walking past her with trays.
Study Genius wore a school uniform jacket, revealing a small section of fair neck, hair tied in a ponytail, indeed looking outstanding. When passing by Xin Lan, Xin Lan even smelled a faint fragrance.
When it was Xin Lan’s turn, there wasn’t much food left. She casually picked two dishes and carried her tray to one side of a table.
Ling Jiu: Sister Lan, aren’t we going to sit at the ex-boyfriend’s side?
There were still empty seats at the ex-boyfriend’s side. Not sure if everyone didn’t want to be too close to other teams or were guarding against the school bully ex-boyfriend, there weren’t many people on his side.
This cafeteria can accommodate a thousand people, with three hundred and ninety-nine people in it, it seems very spacious.
Xin Lan: I’m afraid I won’t be able to resist slamming the food on his face, which would waste food, not good.
Xin Lan knows that if she goes over there with her ex-girlfriend identity, she will definitely be mocked or given the cold shoulder by that scumbag ex-boyfriend. Xin Lan has never been one to devalue herself. To avoid her hot temper causing her to slam food on someone’s face, it’s better for everyone to stay where they are for now.
Ling Jiu didn’t speak anymore, she forgot again that Xin Lan was a sweetheart who doesn’t play by the rules.
Everyone finished dinner and didn’t linger much.
During this rest period, it is absolutely safe.
Everyone can freely choose to go to any place in the school, whether it’s the teaching building, dormitory building, library, playground, or auditorium, all can be accessed, but they must leave after the hunting time begins.
The hunting activity area is limited to the five-story teaching building and dormitory building. All ten classes are arranged on the third floor. During the hunting period, they can hide in any location in the teaching building and dormitory building.
Little Glasses Cai Yang suggested going to the library to see if they could find anything.
He spoke cryptically, afraid of being ‘muted’, but through eye contact, everyone understood his meaning.
“What could be there, isn’t it just some books?”
Black Little Strong Chen Zhihong frowned, he usually hates reading the most.
“There’s no harm in going, I agree.”
Little Shorty Zhou Mingfang nodded, maybe there would be some clues in the books, how would you know there isn’t if you haven’t looked?
Xin Lan had no objections, so the five people went to the library.
On their way, they ran into another team, and when they arrived at the library, they found that there was already a team inside.
Not every team is a group of five people sticking together. One of the teams Xin Lan and the others encountered was a three-person team, and the other was a four-person team. No one greeted each other, they even passed by silently, with a hint of hostility.
In the library, there was only the sound of pages rustling. Chen Zhihong sat on the side, bored, holding a somewhat worn-out comic book that had been flipped through.
“It seems there’s no change. I came here the day before I entered this place, our class had a reading course.”
Zhou Mingfang put down the book in her hand and said somewhat dejectedly.
“I told you we wouldn’t find anything.”
Chen Zhihong pouted, continuing to flip through the comic book in his hand.
“You have the nerve to say that, you’re the only one who didn’t put in any effort.”
Acne-faced Guo Ming said coldly.
“What do you mean?”
Chen Zhihong slammed the book on the table, his expression turning cold.

He was dark-skinned and strong, looking somewhat fierce in this state.
Guo Ming didn’t speak again, Cai Yang hurriedly tried to smooth things over.
Xin Lan was engrossed in flipping through books, having Ling Jiu scan all the books here.
Ling Jiu: Report, Sister Lan, there’s nothing recording the contents of this place, but there are some books on male and female physiological health, oh ho, there’s even a hidden erotic book, tsk tsk tsk, wonder who put it in here.
“Looks like there’s nothing, let’s go.”
Xin Lan put the book back, Chen Zhihong immediately agreed.
The remaining three exchanged glances and also decided to leave.
“Where are you going?”
Zhou Mingfang saw Xin Lan walking ahead, two or three steps apart.
“Dormitory.”
“Then I’ll go too, might as well move the dorm stuff, and ask if we can change.”
Their dormitories were random, appearing in their minds when they arrived.
On the first day, no one dared to move around, so they slept in the assigned beds. What terrified them was that in those beds and cabinets were their own things, even for day students.
Zhou Mingfang and Xin Lan were not in the same dormitory, but since they had teamed up, they naturally wanted to sleep together with their teammates.
When Xin Lan returned to the dormitory, no one else had come back yet.
Zhou Mingfang didn’t want to be separated from her teammates, so she sat in Xin Lan’s room.
The living conditions in this school were quite good, with beds above and desks below, but no private bathrooms.
After more than ten minutes, one of Xin Lan’s roommates came back.
Zhou Mingfang mentioned her dormitory number and asked if they could change rooms. Coincidentally, that girl had a teammate in that room.
Xin Lan got down from the bed to help, assisting Zhou Mingfang in moving her things.
The other two roommates came back, saw the new roommate and didn’t say anything, each returning to their beds.
Xin Lan fiddled with her phone without internet on the bed, watching the time on it. When the rest period ended, a bell rang throughout the campus.
Everyone couldn’t help but tense up, Zhou Mingfang hid under the covers.
The hunting time had begun.
The dormitory door was closed, and no one showed any sign of wanting to move.
Zhou Mingfang stared at the doorway, fearing that a monster might break through from there.
Xin Lan glanced at her and then looked away. As long as the door wasn’t opened, the greatest danger at present was certainly not outside the door, but inside, and in the unknown.
Winter days get dark early, now it was just past seven o’clock, and it was already completely dark outside.
The wind blew fiercely, causing the glass windows to rattle lightly.
Xiao Chun took out her diary and was writing in it with a pen.
But suddenly, the diary in her hand was snatched away.
“Give it back to me!”
Xiao Chun lowered her voice, glaring at the person opposite her.
Xin Lan was attracted by this commotion and looked up.
“Let’s see what our little b*tch has written here, tsk tsk, reflections…”
The drawn-out female voice carried sharp mockery, as if to shatter one’s self-esteem.
“Shut up!”
(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)
Xiao Chun looked somewhat panicked at the other two roommates, her face a bit pale.
“How come you’re not letting me call you that anymore? ‘Fear engulfs me like lake water’, tsk tsk tsk, so affected.”
“It’s none of your business, give it back to me!”
“‘Today we got a new roommate, Roommate A is very pretty, Roommate B is on her team, if only the other one could die’ – you little b*tch, what do you mean? Are you cursing me to die?”
The girl read the diary in an amusing tone, but her expression changed at the end. She threw the diary back at Xiao Chun’s head, immediately causing Xiao Chun’s forehead to swell and redden.
“Damn stinking â–¡â–¡, looks like the usual lessons weren’t enough for you, huh? You dare curse me to die? You sl*t, I wouldn’t die even if you died. Give me your clues!”
The girl stood up, intending to cross over the bed to Xiao Chun’s side.
“I won’t give it to you.”
Xiao Chun pushed the person, but got her hair grabbed and was slapped.
Zhou Mingfang didn’t dare to intervene, trembling under the covers.
Xin Lan frowned at the noise, looking at the girl who was hitting.
She had several earrings on her ears, her expression full of malice, spewing dirty words from her mouth. Connecting with what she said earlier, it seemed this was long-standing campus bullying.
They were still in a deadlock over there, the girl grabbing Xiao Chun’s hair, her hands groping all over her body trying to get the clues. Xiao Chun bit her and pushed her away.
The cries of pain and cursing were really annoying. Xin Lan threw a half-empty mineral water bottle, hitting the violent girl with precision.
“Where did this chicken come from, crowing before dawn? Others still need to sleep, understand?”
Xin Lan mocked coldly, she hated it most when others made a racket.
“You’re the f*cking chicken, looking like a wh*re, who knows how many men have played with you, and you’re acting high and mighty here? Everyone knows you’re a sl*t who offered yourself to Zou Yunfei and even he didn’t want you.”
The girl spat and let go of Xiao Chun’s hair she was holding, coldly mocking Xin Lan.
Zou Yunfei was that scumbag ex-boyfriend.
Xin Lan got down from the bed, approaching beneath that girl.
“What? You want to fight me?”
Xin Lan didn’t waste words, directly grabbing one of her feet and yanking her down from the upper bunk. The girl fell to the ground, curling up in pain.
“You f*cking â–¡â–¡-born dog, you dare…”
Before she could finish cursing, Xin Lan grabbed her head and slammed it against the table, making a loud noise.
“Say it again.”
Xin Lan raised an eyebrow.
“I’m saying you…”
—Bang!
“Say it again.”
“You f*cking…”
—Bang.
“Say it again.”
Xin Lan’s tone was calm, yet it made people feel chilled to the bone.
The girl was dragged and slammed several times, her head bleeding, blood droplets sliding down her face. She glared at Xin Lan with hateful eyes, but didn’t dare to open her mouth again.
“Gone mute? Weren’t you quite talkative just now?”
“If you have the guts, let me go!”
Xin Lan released her hand, clapping her hands as if to clean them off in disgust.
The girl stood up from the ground, trying to pounce on Xin Lan, but was kicked in the lower abdomen by Xin Lan, falling to the ground clutching her stomach.

Xin Lan licked her dry lips, grinding hard on the girl’s hand several times.
“I was wrong just now. You’re not a chicken, you’re a dog, right? Otherwise, how could your mouth be full of sh*t?”
Xin Lan casually squatted on the ground, her fingers searching in the girl’s pockets.
The girl was still struggling, but was hit in the face with an elbow strike. Xin Lan gripped her neck with one hand, asking Ling Jiu to tell her where the thing was.
Ling Jiu: …Ugh, in the panties.
Quite good at hiding.
Xin Lan stood up, beckoning to Xiao Chun who had just been beaten on the bed.
“Come down, help me take off her pants.”
Xiao Chun didn’t dare disobey, trembling as she got down from the bed.
The girl still wanted to move, but Xin Lan stepped on her chest with one foot.
“Isn’t someone supposed to die tonight? If you move again, that person will be you.”
