"Yang Songbai, shut up!" Zhou Ning didn't want to scare this child who seemed to know nothing, nor did she want to fall out with Benjamin right now. She didn't believe that their conversation would not reach Benjamin's ears.

"Okay, I don't care." Yang Songbai shrugged, picked up the fruit on the table and started eating again.

“No, I was just a little surprised! Because no one has ever told me about the outside world.”

"Have you been staying here all the time? Have you never been out?" Zhou Ning was also very curious about how these people had been living all these years.

"We, the Sons of God, are not allowed to go out before we choose the true successor. This is the rule of the church, because the secular world outside will pollute our divinity. People like you who have been living outside and still maintain their divinity are very powerful, so the White Son of God is so wary of you."

This kid is really honest, and I don't know if it's real or fake. Yang Songbai seems to have not seen such a simple-minded, even a little silly person for a long time.

"Why do you keep listening to that fool?"

"Red God Son and White God Son have always been very good friends, and Red God Son is very protective of White God Son. Although Yellow God Son is smart, he cannot deal with both of them alone, so he compromised. As for me, it doesn't matter who leads, so in the end this pattern was formed, and it has been like this for many years." Emerald answered truthfully, and at the same time picked a grape and put it in his mouth.

"You are the first one who has been so disrespectful to him in all these years. And to be honest, I also think that Red God Son is too kind to White God Son."

Emerald seemed to be liberated, and she started talking like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube.

"By the way, after nine o'clock in the evening, everyone must stay in the house. They cannot go out at will, let alone leave the college."

Zhou Ning and Yang Songbai looked at each other. He said that he was only busy enjoying himself yesterday and had no time to understand these things. "Why?"

"We live in the mountains. Although some areas have been developed, a large part of the area has not yet been developed. There are many wild animals there. They will appear near the college at night and attack all living things. There are also ants, man-eating ants, so it is very dangerous."

“Man-eating ants?”

"Don't you know?" Emerald was once again surprised by their reaction.

"Should we know?" Zhou Ning was also very confused. Man-eating ants, this is not the African savannah, where do these things come from? And if they really exist, the news would have spread everywhere in the city, and it is impossible for everyone to act as if nothing happened. And the most important point is, "As far as I know, there is no kind of ant that can kill healthy humans."

"How do you know?" Emerald asked her curiously.

Watching TV, Zhou Ning almost blurted out, but finally held back and answered: "My brother told me."

"Your brother is still young, it's impossible for him to know everything. The man-eating ants in our mountain are big and attack people. That's not right. The teachers in school said that the man-eating ant problem in the mountains is more serious. You must have seen it!" Emerald finally turned back to what he was curious about.

"I haven't heard of it. There are no man-eating ants at the foot of the mountain." Yang Songbai directly exposed the lies woven by these teachers. Zhou Ning also understood at this time why Benjamin indulged her to offend everyone, because he didn't want Zhou Ning to have too much communication with the people here. So he thoughtfully arranged for Ada to take care of her.

Why then was this Emerald allowed to be alone with her?

Ada stood in the dean's office, looking at Benjamin who was working hard, her eyes full of admiration. "The three of them were left alone in the room to eat, and no one else was allowed to take care of them."

"Got it." Benjamin replied without raising his head.

"Why did you allow the Son of the Green God to stay there..." Ada asked in confusion, remembering what Benjamin had said before.

"Because blocking is worse than letting go, I want to know what Zhou Ning is going to do next, so there must be someone to guide her. Otherwise, it would be bad to let her investigate on her own. And Green God is the most suitable person. He is simple and weak. Even if he knows something, he will not leak it. I know him very well."

Emerald was really shocked now. This was completely different from the education he had received since he was a child. "So, can you go out at night at the foot of the mountain?"

"Try not to do that." Zhou Ning replied with a smile.

“Why? Aren’t there wild beasts and man-eating ants?”

"But there are many criminals and refugees, plus the inaction of the British Hong Kong government, so the public security is very poor." Yang Songbai patiently explained to this cute creature. "But bad guys like us don't have such worries. I like Nanxiangli's wontons for midnight snacks."

Emerald was greatly shocked. He was blankly thinking about what the two of them said. He only came to his senses after drinking a sip of ice water.

"It's easy to deal with wild beasts, but how do you defend against man-eating ants? They are small and uncontrollable." Zhou Ning asked him curiously.

"The academy has a kind of powder that will be spread around the academy in the evening to prevent man-eating ants from coming in."

"Is it really that powerful?" Yang Songbai didn't believe it, and neither did Zhou Ning, but seeing Emerald's confident look, it seemed to be true.

"Of course it's terrible, because someone once left the academy at night, and as soon as he stepped out of the protective circle, he was swarmed by ants and eaten. Then the person ran back screaming, alarming everyone in the academy. When we arrived at the scene, the person's legs had been gnawed to the bone. And the whole body was crawling with ants, so dense and scary."

"Then what? What happened to that person in the end?" Zhou Ning asked curiously.

"Then the dean saw that he had brought the ants into the academy. In order to protect the other teachers and students, he had the divine servants wearing protective clothing carry the man out of the academy and throw him into the ant colony outside the door. In the morning, only a pile of bones was left. It is said that there was no flesh and blood on the bones."

"Don't you have powder to repel ants? Why don't you save him?" Yang Songbai asked.

"I heard that the powder tastes very bad to man-eating ants, so it can repel ants but cannot kill them. That person covered his entire body with the powder and ran away. As a result, the powder fell off while he was running, exposing his skin and was eaten by the man-eating ants."

"Aren't you free to come and go here? Why did that person run away?"

"We couldn't understand it at first. Later, the dean checked the man's situation and found that he had a lot of valuables from the academy. He must have come to the academy to steal things, so he didn't dare to make a fuss and ran away secretly."

"Do you believe these explanations?" Zhou Ning asked Emerald curiously.

"Why not? We saw everything, and the dean didn't hide anything."
