Girls' Dormitory Escape - Chapter 34

Chapter 34: Classic Movie Appreciation (8)

     The flames spread in the classroom. Dozens of corpses that had been dry and charred seemed to come back to life again, struggling and howling in the flames.

    If this was the scene of hell, it should be creepy.

    But just after reading the title of Tang Xinjue's review, and looking at the scene in front of her, the first thought that came to Zhang You's mind was: This argument is really reasonable?

    If there were sufficient fire extinguishing equipment and escape tools in the classroom, or if there was an alarm to automatically extinguish the fire the moment it's lit, perhaps the tragedy of the whole class' decimation would not happen.

    Of course, if the reality really went like this, the movie could also be transferred directly from a horror film to a legal security advertisement. At the end of the depraved and violent plot, there is a trace of soul-shocking positive energy.

    All the ghosts: "..."

    After seeing what Tang Xinjue wrote, their distorted facial features became even more distorted, and they even forgot to disturb them from outside the field.

    Of course, the ghosts were not here just to watch... As long as candidates wrote their impressions from any angle of the plot, they will find reasons to inflict mental pollution on them. It depends on the ability of the candidates.

    But now, even Feng Wan, who was already hanging over several people's heads, moved her lips twice, but couldn't figure out how to speak.

    Zhao Mingtao, who was burned alive, withdrew his hand silently, and a pile of black scum fell from his arm.

    ... No, they were the ones who died tragically and turned into ghosts, so why did they behave like they were wronged?

    In the strange stalemate, the temperature in the classroom continued to rise. Even if the flames did not reach a few living people, the burning pain and chapped skin became more and more obvious.

    "If this continues, we may not wait until the end of the countdown, and we will all be roasted to death here."

    Zhang You took off her clothes, tied the clothes of the four of them together, and put it in front of them.

    Guo Guo's eyes were accidentally burned by the fire just now, and now the tears are flowing and she can't open them. But she didn't feel secure if she hid far away, so she could only hide next to Tang Xinjue and remind her: "Be careful not to let the clothes be burned by the fire!"

    Tang Xinjue was writing furiously, but it was impossible to finish the 800-words request in an instant; they could only stand up (to avoid the fire). Not to mention the ghosts and monsters staring at them, which made them felt even more breathless.

    As soon as the sound of writing brushes stopped, Tang Xinjue wiped off the sweat from her eyelashes, and raised her head: "This is not good, the words on the paper will be roasted." Moreover, the decreasing oxygen and excessive heat will also affect her thinking.

    "Hee hee, then don't write..." Sun Qian's sharp laughter sounded immediately, she was lying on the wall with her head down, half of her body stretched out her neck, and her bright red lips were wide open: "Stay here forever, and go to death, and you will never feel pain. Be our classmate!"

    The four of them: ...Maybe we lost all conscience in the previous life*, we're unlucky enough to be your classmate in this life!

*上辈子丧尽天良=might be referring to a song lyric? Punished because of doing things without conscience (moral) in the previous life, therefore in this life can be so unlucky...

    Tang Xinjue was silent for two seconds, but turned her head to look back, and her eyes fell on these ghosts.

    Then she said suddenly: "Aren't you hot?"

    All the ghosts: "???"

    They slowly stared at you with the look that said, 'you have finally been roasted stupid', but they saw the girl nodded again, and said to them: "You are ghosts, and the cold air lingers on your body for a long time, so of course you won’t feel hot.”

    ​​Nonsense. The ghost didn't understand what she was talking about, but saw that after Tang Xinjue finished speaking, her other roommates also turned their heads slowly with strange eyes.

    Tang Xinjue gathered her clothes and got up, facing the ghosts and asked again: "During the time I am writing my review, the rules should not allow you to attack me directly?"

    Feng Wan twisted her body, sneered: "We didn't attack you, just... wait, what are you doing?"

    Under the eyes of everyone, Tang Xinjue plunged into the crowd of ghosts in two steps at a time, and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's really cold."

    Then she sat down again, and looking at Sun Qian's drooping hair as a barrier to isolate the scene of the fire, she continued to write her review, and by the way, she yelled at Zhao Mingtao who was next to her: "Go further, and block the light."

    The ghost who was directly used as a tool:...

    "Ah!!"

    Feng Wan and Zhao Mingtao screamed, stretching out their hands to grab Tang Xinjue irrationally.

    Tang Xinjue raised her head and smiled lightly: "Has anyone told you that you are easily irritated?"

    Ghosts are born of resentment and hatred, and most have more instincts than reason, not to mention that this group of ghost NPCs had just "experienced" their own death scene. It was a time full of resentment.

    The faces of the two ghosts changed, and the female ghost took the first step to stop in time, but Zhao Mingtao was too fast to catch up. The toilet plunger suddenly disappeared from Tang Xinjue's hand, and the sharp knife in Zhao Mingtao's hand was inserted into her arm without hindrance. Blood gushed out.

    The attack was implemented and the judgement should be successful.

    Before the punishment from the rules came down, a golden light burst out from Tang Xinjue's body, covering Zhao Mingtao in it.

    A shrill scream burst out from the golden light, and Zhao Mingtao's ghost form melted at a speed visible to the naked eye!

    From the body, neck, hair, and face, the ghost struggled violently and turned into a blurred figure, and the screams were more real and miserable than his "classmates" in the fire.

    The other ghosts retreated instinctively, and at this moment, the environment of the classroom changed again, the walls turned into scorched earth, dreamy whispers sounded, the wooden door shook slightly, and the burning fire became more intense.

    The "students"' complexion suddenly changed, and their already white face turned even bluer. They drifted and scattered in fear, clinging to the wall, and no one came to help Zhao Mingtao.

    The screams gradually disappeared, and as the golden light weakened and dissipated, "Zhao Mingtao" also completely turned into a phantom, and his head was held back by the toilet plunger a second before it collapsed.

    Tang Xinjue uttered a word: "Eat."

    A suction force came from the rubber head, and the phantom was sucked into the toilet pan bit by bit, from fast to slow until it disappeared completely, and the toilet plunger spit out a few hairs.

    The brilliance flashed, and the skull logo on the handle changed from one to two.

    [Swallowed successfully, has inherited the attribute "scream".]

    Tang Xinjue: "Cover your ears!"

    The next moment, the rubber head shrinks, and then shakes violently; a deafening, inhuman scream erupts from the rubber head, spreading like a trumpet, spreading in the classroom. The mournful sound lingered for a long time.

    Fortunately, Guo Guo and the others were reminded and covered their ears in advance. Even so, they also felt the buzzing in their heads.

    [Ghost's Scream: Indiscriminate sonic attack on all creatures, with mental pollution effect]

    [Ghost's Sharp Blade: The sharpness is greatly increased, and it can be compared with the knife head-on]

    Under the burst of screams, the raging fire that was facing the toilet plunger was also shrunk back by the impact, then flickered a few times, and calmed down strangely.

    The student ghosts remained motionless, as if they wanted to disappear on the spot.

    Tang Xinjue, who continued to write her review, stopped again and raised her eyes to look forward.

    A figure walked out of the flames, and the scorched skin quickly closed in the flames, turning into a young girl with intact short hair.

    It was Li Xiaoyu who had never appeared.

    It didn't matter to anyone else, Li Xiaoyu walked straight towards Tang Xinjue with a very bright smile on her face, completely opposite to the shy and gloomy look in the movie.

    "Does my notebook work?" she asked briskly.

    After only one glance, Tang Xinjue continued to bow her head and write, "It's okay."

    Li Xiaoyu came over, sat down beside her, and looked at the notebook with eyes full of curiosity, not like a murderous and malicious ghost, but as if they were just two ordinary people.

    After looking at it for a while, she asked, "What is the advanced automatic alarm?"

    Tang Xinjue said concisely: "Alarm, spray water, and open the door."

    Li Xiaoyu: "Then if I cut off the power to the classroom, will the alarm still work?"

    Tang Xinjue: "Built-in lithium battery."

    "Oh——" Li Xiaoyu dragged out her word, and asked with a smile: "Then what if I destroy the alarm in advance?"

    Tang Xinjue didn't lift her head: "Special circumstances are not considered in general circumstances, and the content of 800 words cannot accommodate so much. If you want to discuss additionally, you can write a review and submit it with me.

    After finishing speaking, she tore a page of paper thoughtfully: "Anything else?"

    Li Xiaoyu: "..."

    Li Xiaoyu finally stopped talking, she sat quietly by the wall, and with a light wave of her hand, the other student ghosts immediately... dive into the fire like they were just pardoned.

    "It's such a pity, if only I had known you when I was human." Li Xiaoyu said softly, "We must be very suitable to be classmates, don't you think?"

    Seeing that Tang Xinjue didn't respond, she giggled again.

    While laughing, she leaned closer and whispered, "You're a good fit for our world...don't you think? "What's so good about the human world? Old-fashioned, boring, and only a set of rigid rules to evaluate everything. You won't be rewarded for your efforts, no matter how hard you try... In the eyes of others, you are just a lunatic with mental problems, isn't it?"

    When she said the last few words, her voice was as cold as a layer of ice, which sent chills down the spine.

    Tang Xinjue finally stopped writing, turned her head, her calm eyes met with the ghosts close at hand, and her voice was also very soft:

    "I have seen your world countless times."

    The same whispers, brainwashing, threats and temptations, seducing her to give up reality and fall into the darkness, she had listened to it countless times.

    "But every day after I open my eyes, I just want to say a sentence." She nodded to Li Xiaoyu, her lips curled up, "None of your business."

    What she wants to do, what kind of life she wants to live, is up to her, not to others.

    Similarly, other people's lives, whether they are depraved or become ghosts-

    "None of my business."

    Of course, if it hurts her friends and relatives, then it's not none of her business - Zhao Mingtao's imprint on the toilet plunger indicates that he has something to say.

    Under the cold gaze of the other party, Tang Xinjue put away her pen and stood up, holding up her notebook: "I've finished my review."

    Eight hundred words, the words were exact.

    [Ding dong, the review has been submitted and is being evaluated...]

    The ghosts in the flames stopped screaming and struggling, and at the same time made a "turning head" movement, looking at them without moving.

    [Candidates' impressions will be scored by all members of Class 3-1!]
