"Dead?" Now it's Alex's turn to wonder. "Isn't he living well?"

"I didn't die this time, but I don't know what the situation is," William replied. He really didn't know why he went back to the past without dying. "However, if we go to the slaughterhouse now, Alex will die." "What do you mean?" Alex frowned and asked.

"William, what happened in the following time?" Carl continued.

"The time after that?" Alex thought for a moment and asked. "Can you predict the future?" "Almost," William replied casually, and then explained what would happen in the future.

After listening, Carl and Alex didn't look very well. "These monsters won't easily let me go," Alex gritted his teeth, his emotions so excited that even the knife in his bag began to tremble.

"According to your statement, we cannot leave this city without a key," Carl said with his head lowered. "The key is hidden in the slaughterhouse, and there are a large number of monsters lurking near the slaughterhouse. Once we approach the slaughterhouse, these monsters will surround us. Isn't it certain that we will die in this way?"

"Not necessarily," William seemed to have thought of a way. He looked at Alex and continued, "I've come up with a way. If everything goes smoothly, I should be able to get the key."

"The person those monsters want to catch is Alex, so as long as Alex doesn't go to the slaughterhouse, it's okay," William said.

After William finished this sentence, Carl looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Do you hear what you're saying?" Carl gave William a blank look. "Even if Alex doesn't go to the slaughterhouse, will the monsters lurking there leave? Those monsters will still be there, even if Alex doesn't go, and if we go to the slaughterhouse to find the keys, they will still find us. Do you think they won't suspect us? Two students going to the slaughterhouse at night – do you think they won't catch us?"

William lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "But what if Alex appears elsewhere?" Upon hearing this, Carl immediately reacted.

"What do you mean... we'll give these monsters a game to lure them away?"

William nodded and said, "That's what I meant! Those monsters are waiting for prey, so we'll lead them away. Let these monsters see what human intelligence is!" William suggested.

Carl thought for a moment, feeling a bit uncertain, "However, even if Alex appears elsewhere, the monsters guarding the slaughterhouse may not all leave. Even if we leave one or two monsters, we won't stand a chance," Carl analyzed.

"It's very simple, we'll fight guerrilla warfare," Carl's concerns were already on William's mind. William had also thought of a solution to this point.

"Tonight, we'll create a big scene," William continued. "Alex will drive around the city and use his abilities to attack a few monsters every time he goes. Remember not to get caught up in the fight; just wake up these monsters, and then William will drive away. During this period, I will constantly send messages to my class chat group."

"Class group chat?" Carl paused for a moment. "What are you doing sending messages to the class chat group?"

"Causing chaos," William explained. "Those monsters in our school must also know about Alex. I will send false information in my classmates' chat groups. I believe these monsters in the school will pass the message on to other monsters. At the same time, I will keep making emergency calls, causing more chaos."

"But in this way, won't all the monsters in the entire city come out?" Carl was a bit worried. If all the monsters in the city were to flood out, they would not only have no way to escape but would also die tragically.

"No," Alex shook his head. "This city is like a breeding ground, and unless necessary, the monsters here won't pour out. Otherwise, I wouldn't have lived to this day. Speaking of this, I'll put in a word," William looked at Alex and then said, "I've always thought it's strange. Since most people living here are disguised as monsters, why don't they show their true colors and insist on appearing like humans?" Carl was also curious and looked towards Alex.

"I don't know," Alex shook his head. "However, if we can escape from this city, perhaps we can find the answer somewhere else. Let's talk about it later," Carl brought the topic back. "The top priority is to solve the current problem. Without the key, everything is just empty talk."

William nodded and continued, "Alex and I are responsible for attracting the attention of the monsters. In order to catch Alex, I think the monsters near the slaughterhouse will definitely rush over immediately. At this moment, Carl, it's your turn to unleash your abilities."

"Me?" Carl paused for a moment and then understood William's meaning.

"That's right, my ability can sense the location of the monster," Carl said. "Entering the slaughterhouse without being noticed by the monster, I'm afraid only I can do it."

"Since that's the case, what are we waiting for?" William seemed to see hope, with a hint of excitement in his tone. "Hurry up and take action. Alex, protect yourself. After all, you still have injuries. Don't confront these monsters head-on. If you attract too many monsters, run quickly. We each complete the assigned tasks and finally gather at Yinshan. Let's go!"

Having decided on the plan, the three of them quickly went downstairs. Alex drove away in the opposite direction of the slaughterhouse. Carl immediately rushed to the slaughterhouse, waiting for the opportunity to take action. William's task was relatively flexible, mainly to distract the monsters' attention, create false information, and prevent the monsters from immediately finding Alex.

Upon seeing Alex and Carl leaving one after another, William quickly sent a message in the class chat group, and @ everyone with the following message:

"The murderer suddenly appeared and made bold statements, slaughtering the city tonight!" William continued to send the message. More and more messages appeared in the group, and the monsters in the school started chatting with each other.

William did not immediately send out the wrong location; he had to wait for Alex to start. As for the two messages just now, they were also meant to arouse the curiosity of these monsters.

William temporarily exited the chat interface and began making emergency calls, saying, "Hello? Help! Murderer! I see the murderer. Yes, it's the one reported in the news these days. I just saw him riding a motorcycle towards the city center. I don't know what he's going to do, but his appearance looks terrible. Ah! By the way, Mincheng Hospital is near the center of the city. That murderer doesn't want to go to the hospital to kill, does he? It's so scary."

William ran towards the nearby park as he spoke. Before leaving, William deliberately brought the last few bottles of wine from home. When he arrived at the park, he poured the wine into the trash can, flower bed, and then lit it with a lighter. Normally, William would never do such dangerous and illegal things. But now, he has to face monsters, and talking to monsters about the law is itself a ridiculous thing. After finishing all this, William quickly left.

After waiting for a moment, William called another emergency phone number and said, "No good! I saw the murderer setting fire in the park! It's terrible, come on, the fire is burning!"

This night, the city was destined to be unstable. But what does this have to do with William? He just wants to survive from these monsters. William turned off his phone, looked at the time, and felt that he could rush towards Yinshan. But just as William turned around and was about to leave, a voice suddenly came from behind that surprised him.

"William, what are you doing here so late?"

The sudden sound caught William's attention, causing his eyebrows to furrow. Turning around, he saw Ina, his monitor, approaching slowly. "Monitor, it's quite late. What brings you here?" William adjusted his demeanor quickly and answered calmly, "I couldn't sleep, so I thought I'd take a walk."

Ina smiled, replying, "I couldn't sleep either."

As Ina drew nearer, William made an effort not to show any unease. Any hint of resistance in his expression might raise Ina's suspicion. William couldn't help but regret that someone he had once liked was actually a monster in human guise.
