Chapter 84: Surprise Hygiene Inspection
With the last of her strength, Guo Guo disliked the pendant onto Ou Ruofei's hand, and the other party immediately had to withdraw her hand as her face twisted as if she had been burned.
"Run out!" Seizing the breathing space, Guo Guo shouted to A'Nian without thinking.
A'Nian's voice was weak: "Classmate Guo... you run, seem like, I can't move..."
Guo Guo turned around and saw that A'Nian's small abdomen unknowingly already had a large open wound, staining the black bracelet that had just been put on her by the joint control of No. 15 and No.13.
As the wound appeared, A'Nian's face was covered with a layer of white frost at a speed visible to the naked eye. Her body leaned helplessly against the white tiled wall, but cast a reflection of another very different girl.
Guo Guo's eyes were becoming more and more painful, as if some force was preventing her from seeing this. But the more she did so, the more she opened her eyes, and saw the long-haired girl reflected in the tiles slowly turn around. The wound on her abdomen exactly the same as the one on A'Nian's body!
The long-haired girl stretched out her hands towards the "wall", and No. 15 and 13 immediately went to help her. So with the help of the long-haired girl drilled out of the wall, the whole "person" hanging upside down in front of A'Nian. The moment they looked at each other, the two faces of the different features blurred at the same time, and became more and more blank. ...
With past experience, Guo Guo immediately realized what this was: in the Dormitory Civilization Code exam, Xiao Hong wanted to use her body to enter the dormitory, replacing her identity, using the same method!
She immediately withdrew the pendant that was resisting Ou Ruofei, and darted in front of A'Nian to try to force the long-haired girl back, but she was instantly picked up by No. 15 and No. 13, who were guarding her, and tried to forcibly stuff her with another "gift".
"No!"
Guo Guo struggled violently, her physical strength and protective shield, which had been strengthened several times, seemed to have lost its effect at this moment. However, she was able to accurately locate the long-haired girl's movements with her yin and yang eyes, and with a strong stomp of her legs, she flew up and kicked the long-haired girl's head off.
The girl planted back into the wall with a cry of pain, and the two people clamping down on Guo Guo immediately let go of her and swooped over to check on the long-haired girl's condition.
Only to see the long-haired girl, or should be said the long-haired female ghost crying more than once, even shaking her head and gesturing in rejection. No.15 and No.13 immediately became anxious, babbling and cheering her up, seemingly trying to persuade her to revitalize herself.
Guo Guo: "..." Playing solidarity and friendship in front of her, a victim who couldn't find her roommates?
She helped A'Nian up and took advantage of a few ghosts being distracted to lead the way to escape. In one breath, she ran out the door of the bathroom and ran towards the dormitory.
The farther away from the bathroom, the less blood flowed from A'Nian's abdominal wound, and there was even a sign that it was healing, Guo Guo was overjoyed and accelerated her speed.
However, as time passed, she found herself still running in the corridor, still could not reach the door of the dormitory that seemed to be at hand. No matter how much she ran, she was unable to shorten the distance between them.
Or... it was the length of the corridor that had been extended indefinitely!
Rustling, shuffling, all sorts of sounds poured in from below the floor, the surrounding walls and ceiling. Through the mirror-like reflective plane, Guo Guo saw one after another "girls" dragging their mutilated bodies crawling in another space. Their hair was either long or short, their white school uniforms were tattered and torn, and most of their faces were stagnant and stiff, as if they did not have any sanity, but only mechanically followed the group's movements.
There were also a few with different expressions, they stared at Guo Guo with salivating gazes, running after them while eyeing them intently, wanting to block their pace.
Guo Guo raised her pendant in an attempt to repel them. The ghosts with sanity were not only unafraid, but also cracked their mouths and pointed, seemingly mocking loudly.
Crack—
A crack quietly appeared from their position and quickly spread and split into several. The female ghost's expression froze and tentatively touched the crack with her dry fingers.
BOOM!!!
The crack instantly burst and exploded into a pitch-black hole, and a shrill whistle that hit the soul directly spewed out from within, rushing across the corridor, shaking the female ghosts so much that they intercepted and took off, and were swept away in the blink of an eye.
The demonic sound penetrated her ears, but Guo Guo revealed a smile of relief, carrying A'Nian directly on her back, darting and rushing towards the black hole, leaping in—
A moment of nothingness and silence, then the air rushing into her lungs, then...
"Ding-ling-ling, ding-ling-ling——”
"Ahh!—"
Screams mixed with the ringing of cell phones resounded simultaneously in the dormitory, and many people jumped up suddenly from their beds, checking the situation around them in a state of shock.
The first moment Tang Xinjue opened her eyes, she grabbed the toilet plunger and leapt off the bed, using [Ghostly Scream] once again, letting the deafening, horrifying sound run through the entire room.
More and more people woke up from their slumber, some of them awakened harshly by the horrible shrill sound. No. 5 and No. 6 woke up almost tumbling out of their beds with a horrified look on their faces, "Crap? Is that the horn of a ghostly attack?!"
Tang Xinjue pulled the two of them mercilessly off the bed, "This is the scream of a ghost monster before it is devoured, and is used by my weapon as an ability to, incidentally, moonlight as an alarm to wake you up from your nightmares."
She turned off the cell phone alarm that went off on time.
Jiang Lan also rolled over and got out of bed, walking straight towards A'Nian's bed number 16: "Indeed, this [Alarm] is much more useful than a normal cell phone alarm ... A'Nian?"
Jiang Lan's voice suddenly choked, lifting the quilt off of A'Nian's body, looking at the girl's bloody wound on her abdomen, her voice shaking, "Keke! Bring the medicine here!"
No. 3, who was just about to put on her sunglasses, shook her hands and rushed up without a word, dumping out all the items in her storage bag and searching for a hemostatic potion and a clean bandage inside.
On the other side, Tang Xinjue finished checking on her roommates and confirmed that Zheng Wanqing, Zhang You, and Guo Guo were unharmed before she exhaled slightly.
Guo Guo: "I just had a very scary nightmare, A'Nian is in there... Right, A'Nian!"
She also immediately ran to the side of bed No. 16, a few people followed up, to see that the blood in A'Nian's abdomen had stopped, Jiang Lan put a pill into A'Nian's mouth. After feeding it down, A'Nian spat out a mouthful of black blood, and her breathing turned clear and steady.
Only then could Jiang Lan speak, "Fortunately, it’s not too late, everything is still in time. With Keke and I's health value assisted input, A'Nian will soon be awake."
Keke also rarely did not speak venomously, but instead spoke in an astringent voice, "I don't know when I fell asleep, my dreams told me I was on watch, and I didn't realize something was wrong until just before I woke up, and then I was woken up by the whistling sound. If I could have realized it earlier, I could have cracked it straight away ... "
Jiang Lan interrupts her self-recrimination, "There's no ifs about it, I didn't realize this in time either, but what's already happened can't be reversed. What we can do now is to pass this exam as soon as possible and then bring A'Nian back to reality safely ... We can't afford to lose any more."
Toward the end, she hid the choking in her voice and looked toward Tang Xinjue, "That's the danger we'll have to face in the dungeon, isn't it?"
Tang Xinjue nodded, "Ghosts are very cunning. They pull everyone into the dream realm, but settle down in the dream realm of the stronger ones, delaying the speed of our discovery. Attacking in the weaker dream realms, three people have been successfully attacked so far."
Three people?
The crowd was startled and followed her gaze, only to see Bed 15, Bed 13, and Ou Ruofei on Bed 14 all sitting on their beds with blank expressions, unable to see any abnormality at first glance.
Tang Xinjue pulled up the corner of her mouth without a smile, "Still acting?"
She threw down an [Appraisal] at Ou Ruofei, and compared to yesterday's answer, the appraisal results changed this time:
[A mediocre schoolgirl, except that there seems to be some fear of the cold and an overriding thirst for water].
"Fear of cold plus thirst?" Tang Xinjue nodded, "It seems possible that you died of thirst from lack of water in the cold while alive."
Before the words fell, she reached forward with a speed that the crowd couldn't react to, and an ice pick immediately appeared in the air, stabbing towards Ou Ruofei's neck!
Ou Ruofei's complexion changed greatly, and she jumped up to dodge, however, the moment the ice cone landed on the bed, an extremely low temperature quickly spread out with it as the center, freezing the entire bed!
Ou Ruofei, who was in the freezing range, seemed to be wearing a mask of pain. Her entire face began to distort under the mask: her eye sockets became sunken, her nose bulged outward, her round chin became a pointed chin, and her cheekbones moved upward... For a moment, Ou Ruofei completely turned into another unfamiliar appearance and let out a shrill scream.
The shrill whistling sound resounded through the eardrums of the crowd, and there was actually a moment of similarity with the ghostly sound that resounded from Tang Xinjue's toilet plunger!
Seeing Ou Ruofei painfully hugging herself and trying to curl up to escape the cold, No. 15 and No. 13, who were sitting on the two upper bunks, finally couldn't help themselves and spoke sharply toward her: "Are you stupid, jump down! Staying in bed waiting to freeze?"
With this outburst, all eyes immediately shifted to the two of them.
Tang Xinjue gazed at them wordlessly, her gaze as if she was looking at two humongous jumping werewolves.*
*pretty sure this was referring to the Werewolf game
The two of them:"... " The fool was actually myself.
They immediately changed their expressions and looked to 11 and 12 for help: "We really don't know what they're talking about, they're slandering! There is not even a proof, so blatantly ostracized, who knows what they have in mind. You guys must believe us, we're roommates!"
The two people, No. 11 and No. 12, as if by a thunderbolt from the sky, cast a doubtful look at each other, and then look to their "roommates": "Wait, we still do not understand ... ."
Guo Guo suddenly interrupted them and said, "I saw your faces in my dream, one arm was covered in blood from the glass, and the other's mouth was taped shut."
"Forget about seeing blood," she turned her head to look at No. 13, "Since you guys aren't ghosts, if we seal your mouths with tape, I'm sure you won't have this kind of stress reaction like Classmate Ou Ruofei, right?"
