End of Days Game: I'm the Only One Who Can See the Hidden Cues

Chapter 7: The Chance Encounter



Outside the restroom.

Facing several monsters lunging at him, Jeremy remained composed, moving through them like a specter.

Despite the frenzied attacks of the monsters. Jeremy managed to dodge each one and left horrific wounds on their bodies.

"Roar!!!"

The monsters' roars carried far into the night.

Jeremy sidestepped a goblin's swinging cleaver. His fang dagger left a trail of afterimage as it plunged directly into a zombie's eye socket.

Then, with a kick, he sent it flying, knocking down two other zombies.

[You have killed a Level 2 Zombie, gaining 15 experience points!]

Seeing Jeremy dodge its attack, the goblin let out a sharp, piercing roar. The machete in hand slashed horizontally towards Jeremy's waist, as if attempting to cut off Jeremy's entire body from the waist.

But Jeremy was quick to react.

His wrist twisted, blocking the cleaver's attack with his fang dagger at a bizarre angle.

"Clang!" The sound of metal clashing echoed in the night, Jeremy firmly blocking the goblin's heavy blow.

The goblin's face showed astonishment, unable to believe that this human had so easily blocked its attack.

After leveling up to 3, Jeremy's strength had increased again, allowing him to withstand attacks from monsters of the same level.

Seizing the moment of the goblin's shock, Jeremy's dagger moved like lightning. The sharp blade cut through Goblin's short neck and instantly cut off its head.

Green blood sprayed into the air, the goblin's head still wearing a bewildered expression as it flew.

Until death, it didn't understand why Jeremy, even though he was just a human, could possess such powerful power.

[You have killed a Level 3 Goblin, gaining 37 experience points!]

With the strongest goblin dead, the last two zombies couldn't last a few breaths in Jeremy's hands, all being slain by him.

[You have killed a Level 2 Zombie, gaining 16 experience points!]

[You have killed a Level 2 Zombie, gaining 17 experience points!]

Jeremy stepped over the bodies of the monsters, picking up the bronze treasure chest.

[Item]: Bronze Treasure Chest

[Rank]: Bronze

[Description]: Consuming 10 Level 1 energy crystals or 1 Level 2 energy crystal can open it.

[Tip]: Opening the chest in water will yield double rewards.

Seeing the tip, Jeremy sighed in relief. He was grateful in his heart that The Eye of Omniscience had not made any more moves, such as opening the treasure chest upside down.

However, 10 energy crystals were also a problem.

Jeremy had used all the energy crystals he previously obtained to enhance his strength, leaving him without a single one.

Gathering ten Level 1 energy crystals was not a small task, requiring considerable time.

Higher-tier low-level monsters might drop Level 2 energy crystals. But such monsters were hard to find.

Jeremy decided to store the bronze treasure chest in his storage space for now, setting aside the problem for later.

He looked towards the direction of the women's restroom and said, "Come out. How long do you three plan to hide?"

Behind the door of the women's restroom, Bonnie and the others didn't expect Jeremy to have already discovered them.

The three emerged from the restroom, looking somewhat awkward.

They had ventured out to check after noticing that the monsters seemed to have left, only to witness Jeremy efficiently killing several monsters, leaving them utterly shocked.

While they were still hiding from the monsters, someone had already begun to actively hunt them... and that someone was a teenager.

Bonnie's gaze towards Jeremy was especially complex.

She had harbored some resentment towards Jeremy. She thought that if it weren't for him, she wouldn't have been trapped in the restroom.

Unexpectedly, just in the blink of an eye, she was saved by this despicable guy.

Jeremy surveyed the three, recognizing them all.

The overweight teacher, named Eric, was the vice-principal of Jinghai First Middle School. The middle-aged female teacher seemed to be a high school sophomore teacher, though Jeremy had no specific memory of her identity or class.

Jeremy's gaze lingered on Bonnie for a moment, surprised to find her here as well.

The awkward silence was broken by the overweight teacher.

He chuckled, "Don't worry, we mean no harm. And we owe you our lives, Jeremy. If it weren't for you, we might have all been killed by those monsters."

"It was nothing, no need for thanks," Jeremy said, wiping the blood off his fang dagger, his expression unchanged.

Eric noticed the dagger in Jeremy's hand and immediately sensed something different about this weapon.

He exclaimed, "Is that an equipment item? I can't believe you've already got one!"

Bonnie and the female teacher, Lisa, also turned their attention to the dagger in Jeremy's hand. Then their eyes showed surprise, not expecting Jeremy to have already obtained the equipment items so quickly.

Bonnie paused for a moment before suddenly asking, "Jeremy, have you already awakened to a supernatural ability?"

Eric and Lisa were both intrigued.

They had seen the sky's prompts and knew that among the survivors. There were some with unique abilities. But this was their first encounter with such a person.

Jeremy neither confirmed nor denied, not answering Bonnie's question but instead said, "I've cleared most of the monsters outside. You can find an office to hide in and wait for rescue."

The Eye of Omniscience was his biggest secret. Jeremy wouldn't even tell Emma, much less these people.

After speaking, Jeremy prepared to leave.

He needed to figure out a way to obtain energy crystals to open the treasure chest and had no interest in wasting time here.

The two teachers opened their mouths, wanting to say something.

The place was filled with monsters, and naturally, they wanted Jeremy's protection.

However, it was clear that Jeremy had no intention of protecting them, so they eventually closed their mouths.

"Jeremy, wait!" Bonnie suddenly called out to him.

"What is it, Bonnie?" Jeremy turned his head to look at her, his tone calm.

Why Bonnie was here was not hard for Jeremy to figure out. He felt neither dislike nor fondness towards her actions.

For Jeremy, such matters were not worth his concern.

"It's nothing." Bonnie initially wanted to ask Jeremy how he had awakened. But upon hearing his response, a surge of anger suddenly rose within her. And the words on the tip of her tongue changed their flavor.

Though Jeremy's response seemed ordinary, Bonnie felt his indifference and disregard.

This made her feel as if her pride was slightly wounded by Jeremy.

Coming from a well-off family, excelling academically, and being beautiful, Bonnie had always been the pride of those around her, never lacking in admirers. When had she ever been treated like this?

"So, he's awakened to some supernatural abilities. What's the big deal? To think he doesn't even regard his teachers!" Lisa spoke indignantly after Jeremy left.

Eric looked at Lisa as if she were a fool. He finally understood now why this woman had been teaching books in school for so many years and was still an ordinary teacher.

It was the end of the world now.

The old set of rules had changed. One's status was now measured by strength.

Jeremy had the strength. Of course he could disregard them.

Thinking of the ghostly speed at which Jeremy had killed the monsters, Eric made up his mind.

Since he was fortunate enough to encounter someone like Jeremy, it was natural to cling to him.

Seeing Eric walking outside, Lisa asked in confusion, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to find Jeremy," Eric replied casually.

"Why would you do that? He's a thankless wretch and won't help us." Lisa frowned, thinking Eric had gone mad. Jeremy clearly didn't want to bother with them. so why should Eric, the vice principal, lower himself to seek Jeremy out?

Just because Jeremy had awakened supernatural abilities. Should others go and ingratiate themselves with him?

Having been a teacher for decades, Lisa was accustomed to students treating her with utmost respect. She found students like Jeremy, who didn't regard her at all, most detestable.

Lisa's words not only failed to change Eric's mind but even more solidified his resolve.

Eric felt that if he continued to stay with this woman, he would be doomed sooner or later.
