Chapter 46: Classic Movie Appreciation
If the face of the female ghost in the mirror was unfamiliar to Zhang You and Zheng Wanqing, then this face was too familiar to Tang Xinjue and Guo Guo.
In the [Dormitory Civilization Code] exam, as the dark night fell, the long-haired ghost clung to the bed curtain and got slapped in the face again and again. She even finally climbed into the dormitory through the cracks in the ground and tried to snatch her face away, but was slapped by Tang Xinjue again. When Guo Guo first entered the game and had not yet adapted to the new world view, she had all kinds of indelible and profound memories.
Even if she turns into ashes, Guo Guo will never forget this face.
Not to mention Tang Xinjue - at the end of that exam, Xiao Hong was punished by the rules until she was left with only one head. It's hard to forget.
In short, everyone were all old acquaintances, and with Tang Xinjue, they still have a deep friendship of almost getting killed.
Looking at the female ghost with an indescribable expression, Tang Xinjue narrowed her eyes: "So... Shang Yinghong?"
She thought it was an instant kill, but she didn't expect that it was an instant answer?
*If you don't remember, Shang Yinghong was one of the choices from last chapter amongst the choices of colored name, with a character meaning "Red". Xiaohong means "Little Red"
Everyone: The non-mainstream is by my side.jpg
The face of the female ghost in the mirror was visibly distorted. Tang Xinjue seemed unaware and said thoughtfully: "Has your body grown? It looks like a new one. It doesn't look like a part-time job... so it was severely damaged. So after being hit hard, even the ghost NPCs had to be laid off and re-employed?"
The last time they met, she was the only boss in a single exam. She could dig holes for players while still being able to recharge happily. Now she had become an NPC in a small dungeon of the exam. Her activities are limited to the mirror - there was nothing worse than a job demotion. No wonder she looked at the with deep bitterness and hatred.
Xiaohong: "..."
She heard the implication of Tang Xinjue's words, and her lips were trembling with anger, and the corners of her eyes were bleeding. Wearing a red dress, she looked extremely awe-inspiring, "You are looking for death..."
Zheng Wanqing wondered: "If you are still so angry, it must be Xiaohong."
She might not be familiar with Xiaohong's appearance, but she would never forget her angry screams that would linger around her for three days.
Guo Guo whispered: "She seems to be pissed off!"
As they spoke to each other, blood flowed from the features of the female ghost in the mirror. She was about to move the corners of her blood-red mouth, but suddenly froze again——
Tang Xinjue's expression remained as usual, but there was an extra toilet plunger in her hand.
"..."
If there were memories that this ghost want to delete the most, then the memory of being slapped in the face with a toilet plunger by a novice candidate and almost being disfigured and annihilated would definitely be the one to disappear from Xiaohong's mind forever.
But the ghost could not lose her memory, so after shrinking for a moment, Xiaohong became even more resentful. Especially after she soon realized that she was inside the mirror. Her expression immediately relaxed, and she sneered proudly.
"Okay... since you fall into my hands again, this is your fate!"
After saying that, she stretched out two pale hands. Perhaps she was worried about Tang Xinjue's toilet plunger, so instead of stretching out the mirror to catch people like in the movie, she put them on her head. The next moment, the female ghost's gloomy face suddenly changed, and she instantly turned into Tang Xinjue's appearance..
Seeing this scene, Tang Xinjue was not surprised.
After playing through several dungeons, it could be seen that most ghosts have their own abilities. Dating back to the first time she entered the dungeon, Xiaohong's abilities were already quite clear.
So at the same moment when the face in the mirror changed, she did not hesitate to raise her hand to stab - the toilet plunger penetrated the mirror without any hesitation, and struck the face in the mirror that was about to crack with the force of lightning.
Familiar attack, familiar suffocation.
Xiaohong: "...ah!!!"
She's already in the mirror, how can she be slapped in the face??
The familiar scream broke out again, and Xiaohong even ignored the death condition (that she started) and started tearing the toilet plunger apart. Her nails turned black and long like a zombie, and with sound like gold and stone scratching, one could tell how hard her nails were.
Huge tearing force came from the weapon. Even with the strength of Tang Xinjue, veins appeared on her arm. The other hand clasped the sink to maintain her posture.
She knew clearly in her heart that the strength displayed by "Xiao Hong" at this time might be closer to the true state of the ghost.
At the end of the Dormitory Civilization Test dungeon, the reason why Toilet Plunger was able to restrain Xiao Hong was because it caught the weak opportunity when the opponent was greedy and wanted to seize Guo Guo's identity and break the dormitory barrier.
But since this time, Xiaohong's setting in the movie dungeon was "the female ghost in the mirror". The mirror was the opponent's home field, and she had an absolute advantage in it.
Xiaohong must have relied on this to be confident enough to take revenge, but it's a pity...
She changed her appearance, but the Tang Xinjue's team of four were no longer just fledglings.
Seeing Tang Xinjue fighting against the ghost power, Guo Guo and the others immediately came to help, but Tang Xinjue overruled them: "Don't act rashly!"
Zhang You also reacted, "Let's not leave our positions!"
Their brain receives environmental information from the start through vision and had begun to analyze it at high speed.
The washbasin in this women's bathroom has four sinks. If you look carefully, you can see that the rectangular mirror attached to the wall was also faintly divided into four parts: the mirror surface was divided by red paint, which evenly divides the position of each faucet.
Four people, each person corresponds to a mirror, a sink, and a mirror.
Follow the usual test procedures, combined with this scenario... there was a high probability that there will be a pitfall in the starting position!
Zheng Wanqing moved too fast and was closest to Tang Xinjue. Part of her arm had already moved beyond her position. When she heard the two people shouting to take it back, it was already a step too late - "Zheng Wanqing's" right hand disappeared in the mirror. At the red line, it did not appear on the mirror in front of Tang Xinjue.
When her body retreated, her arm withdrew, and the missing parts were still empty: from the bottom of the elbow to the wrist and fingers, the entire right arm seemed to have been cut off by an invisible wall and left outside the mirror forever.
In less than half a second, blood spurted out from the cross section of the severed arm!
"Wanqing!!" Everyone lost their voice.
A large amount of cold sweat suddenly broke out, and the pain rolled in her throat and turned into a trembling sound. Zheng Wanqing bit her lower lip and trembled all over. Her whole body was lying on the sink, barely able to prevent herself from falling to the ground.
Zhang You immediately took out a green pill from her pocket and hurriedly threw it into Zheng Wanqing's sink, "This is for pain relief. Take it first!"
Most of the points she earned in the last exam were exchanged for protective shields and various medicines. Seeing Zheng Wanqing's injury, her head started to buzz again, and she immediately thought of these medicines.
Zheng Wanqing squeezed out the strength to open her teeth and swallow the pill. Her body suddenly relaxed and she gasped for air.
Goods in shopping malls are expensive. Within a second of swallowing the pill, more than 90% of the pain was immediately blocked, even though the wound was still bloody and horrific. Zheng Wanqing wiped away the sweat that covered her eyes and saw a bottle of spray the size of her thumb dropped in the sink.
"Use this to stop the bleeding."
The spray was thrown by Tang Xinjue. The girl looked at the cheerful female ghost in the mirror, her voice no longer gentle.
Just when Zheng Wanqing was injured, the female ghost tried to grab the toilet plunger while Tang Xinjue was distracted. Unexpectedly, not only did she not succeed, but she felt that the power outside was getting stronger and stronger. Not only did she fail to pull the toilet plunger, she even got sucked in it. Her entire head was forced out of the mirror.
Realizing this, Xiaohong's laughter turned into an angry scream, frantically destroying the rubber head on her face. However, with [Shameless] (attribute) protection, no matter how it attacks, the rubber head remains strong.
The female ghost's head was stuck in the rubber head, and she was dragged closer and closer to the mirror. Tang Xinjue's voice became colder and colder:
"Since you like playing with us so much, then come out and play."
