God Eater Sequence: The Devourer

Amid the continuous praises from Qin Siyang and Wen Shu, Teacher Zhu felt a bit embarrassed.

She showed a kind smile, "Having you two good kids acknowledge me is enough. This illness is indeed an incurable matter, so don't worry about it."

Wen Shu glanced at Qin Siyang, who kept his head down, eating in silence.

If one were to say that the once-lonely Qin Siyang had ever felt a trace of warmth from humanity in this world, it must have come from Teacher Zhu.

As long as he wanted this diligent and frugal academic position, Teacher Zhu would always reserve it for him.

Other students' parents had also given gifts to Teacher Zhu, hoping she would leave the position for their children.

But Teacher Zhu stood firm, "Unless your child is an orphan like Qin Siyang, then they can take turns. Otherwise, no discussion."

Even in the apocalypse, even in a dilapidated place like the edge of the safe zone, people like Teacher Zhu still existed.

That's why Qin Siyang truly hoped that a good person like Teacher Zhu could have a good ending.

But how could cancer be treated?

How much money would it take?

He had no idea.

Looks like he would have to go online at night and check [God-Slaying Camp] for information.

Qin Siyang didn't make any bold promises because he himself didn't know if his current abilities could help Teacher Zhu through this hardship.

After finishing his meal, he started organizing the books in the library.

However, the moment he got up from his chair, he never sat down again.

Today, there were an unusually high number of students in the library.

Or to be more precise—there were an unusually high number of female students in the library today.

"Qin, can I borrow this book?"

"Qin, my foundation is weak. Do you have any recommended study guides?"

"Qin, I have lots of glow-in-the-dark books at home. Want to read together tonight?"

Qin Siyang's quiet and disciplined library life was completely disrupted by a group of overly enthusiastic and decently attractive female classmates.

Because of the noise, Wen Shu borrowed a workbook and went elsewhere for self-study.

Wen Shu was the goal that all the girls aspired to be and also the target of their secret criticisms.

When Wen Shu sat here, her aura as an excellent student made them feel slightly inferior and restrained them a little.

But after Wen Shu left the library, they let go of all restraint and launched a full-scale offensive on Qin Siyang.

And when they noticed that Qin Siyang wasn't reacting too aggressively, realizing he wouldn't deal with them like he did with the year head, they became even bolder.

Bare shoulders exposed, skirts lifted—a bit of playful teasing.

Some even accidentally bumped into him while undoing their buttons, leaving him speechless as a pair of soft cushions pressed against him.

Qin Siyang sighed inwardly, 'So this is the treatment sequence ability users receive among ordinary people.'

If defeating the year head and class head had been his way of asserting his status, then this situation in the library was proof that others had acknowledged his status.

Compared to proving oneself with brute force, being pursued and recognized by others was a far more enjoyable experience.

In all his life, Qin Siyang had never been pursued by so many infatuated girls—it almost felt like the life of a former celebrity idol.

If it were an ordinary eighteen-year-old high schooler, suddenly going from poor to rich, never having experienced such attention, they might have been intoxicated by these mundane beauties.

Teacher Zhu, watching from the side, kept sighing, fearing that Qin Siyang would lose himself and sink into this.

But what they didn't know was—Qin Siyang had killed before.

Not just once.

His heart, after witnessing bloodshed multiple times, had long since become unnervingly calm.

These girls were far too ordinary. Getting too involved with them would only be a burden.

They could neither be his life partner nor his physical refuge.

They weren't even worthy of being called pink skeletons—in Qin Siyang's eyes, they were nothing but emptiness.

Qin Siyang was even more convinced that a beautiful life was about to arrive.

So, with a smile on his face, he calmly said to the girls rubbing up against him, "Get lost."

The girls froze for a moment and instinctively looked at Qin Siyang's face, only to find that he was completely expressionless, as if he were a different person from just moments ago.

In an instant, they felt the same fear the head teacher had felt that early morning, and they immediately sprang away from Qin Siyang.

Qin Siyang chuckled, "Not bad. After all, they are my peers—far more communicative than my class teacher."

But from Qin Siyang's smile, the girls felt an icy chill down their spines.

Through the path they cleared, Qin Siyang walked out of the library.

At the entrance, he said to Teacher Zhu, "Teacher, I'll come back after school in the afternoon. You can eat this breakfast whenever you feel hungry."

"Alright!", Teacher Zhu, seeing that Qin Siyang was completely unaffected, smiled and nodded.

Qin Siyang was about to clean up the meal box he and Wen Shu had left earlier, only to find the table already empty. It seemed that Wen Shu had taken the trash with her when she left.

Qin Siyang murmured, "Classmate Wen is quite polite."

"Of course!", As soon as Teacher Zhu heard Qin Siyang praise Wen Shu, she immediately followed up, "Wen Shu is good at studying, has great character, is kind, and has her own opinions—not like the others."

As she spoke, she shot a glare at the girls who had been making noise in the library for a long time.

Qin Siyang nodded, "She does have her own opinions."

As for the other aspects, Qin Siyang wasn't sure. But he fully agreed that Wen Shu was a girl with her own mind.

He still remembered that night when they were being hunted by Ling Jingwen's uncle and a gang of thugs—when it came to destroying evidence, Wen Shu had taught him a solid lesson.

"Alright, I'm leaving now. Don't overwork yourself."

"Okay, go ahead!"

After leaving the library, Qin Siyang didn't return to the classroom. Instead, he found a secluded spot with no people, took out his phone, and made a call to Qian Wenzhao.

"Hello, Section Chief Qian, sorry to bother you. Do you have a moment? I'd like to chat for a bit."

"Oh, Xiao Qin? What's up?"

"It's like this—I have a friend who has cancer, and I wanted to ask if there are any treatment options."

Qian Wenzhao paused for a moment, "Your friend? A Sequence ability user?"

"No, just an ordinary person."

"You have ordinary people as friends?"

"Of course, ordinary people can be friends. Who isn't born an ordinary person?"

"That... actually makes some sense. If you have money, you can send them to the hospital for treatment."

"If I had money, I wouldn't be calling you to ask."

"So... you want to know if there are any special methods for Sequence ability users?"

"Of course."

"Generally speaking, if we Sequence ability users need medical treatment, there are two ways."

"Go on."

"The first is to go outside the safe zone to hunt Divine Creatures, then exchange them for money at the Bureau and pay for hospital treatment."

"The second is to find a Sequence ability user from the [Healer] sequence to treat you. But the cost is usually even higher."

"The [Healer] sequence—I've looked into that before. But they seem to be extremely rare and hard to find."

"You're absolutely right. Almost all [Healer] sequence ability users work in the most luxurious hospitals in the safe zone, exclusively serving the upper class. Regular people don't even get to see them."

"So, that means my only option is to go outside the safe zone and hunt Divine Creatures. But I've only just awakened my sequence and joined a God-Hunting Squad—I might not be well-prepared."

"Who is this friend of yours? You care so much that you're willing to hunt Divine Creatures to get them treatment?"

"A kind person who has taken care of me."
