Chapter 102: Surprise Hygiene Inspection
As soon as Tang Xinjue's words fell, the wall shook again, and the Dean of Academic Affairs subconsciously scrunched up her neck, her mouth twitching noiselessly as if she was cursing some kind of profanity.
Everyone's attention was drawn to the movement behind the wall.
Guo Guo became agitated, “Is it Jiang tongxue and the other girls? Are they coming over?”
Tang Xinjue's eyes moved slightly, “From the frequency and strength of the impact, it doesn't look like the movement of ghosts and monsters, instead it looks like… people.”
If it was talking about living people, and they were all here, while Ou Ruofei's group of people were outside the door… then who else would be behind this wall that was facing the door at the moment?
The curse that had just been spat out from the Dean's mouth resurfaced in their ears, and the crowd exchanged glances, coincidentally thinking of a single term:
“The boys' dormitory!”
It was known from the boys' ghosts that both the male and female dormitories had become instances of the exams, and the male dormitory's exams had started earlier than theirs, with most of the candidates dying within the dungeon, and only a few breaking out at the end without knowing where they were.
Since they had not seen any male dormitory candidates so far, the group had almost assumed that they had been killed here, but just now, the words of the Dean of Academic Affairs seemed to contain another piece of information -
The male dormitory candidates were still here?
“It was us who misunderstood you just now.” Tang Xinjue raised a smirk, “When you said that we'd be able to meet [them] soon, so that's what you meant. It seems like you still have a bit of a count on the strength of the Academic Affairs Department.”
Dean of Academic Affairs: “...”
It didn't mean that!
The dry and skinny woman glared with bulging eyeballs and maintained her aura sorrowfully, “Don't dream, those disobedient students have been locked up in the punishment room for who knows how long, even if they haven't rot yet, it's unlikely that they'll have the strength to walk out again. How about it, scared? This is what will happen to you...”
Once again, its intimidation was forced to abort, as a more pronounced tremor came from behind the wall this time, and even a flourish of voices could be faintly heard, which were clearly not the tones of a female voice, no matter how you listened to them.
Tang Xinjue: “The disciplinary room is open next to the admissions office, you guys are quite good at saving space.”
The Dean of Academic Affairs' face finally turned completely green, turning her head violently with an intensity that could directly break her neck, looking at the wall incredulously, “Impossible... how is this possible?”
“So surprised? Is it because you don't believe that the students of the last exam have not died until now, or you don't believe that the students of this exam can survive with all their whiskers intact, or you don't believe that the students who have been killed by you can come back to take revenge someday-”
The wall vibrated with every hit, and Tang Xinjue's voice became clearer and clearer from sentence to sentence, poking through the truth of the Academic Affairs Office's formidable position:
“If what's standing in front of me is the complete school authority, it should contain at least three sets of presences: the student council, the dormitory management, and the Academic Affairs Office. But not only is there no sign of the other two parties now, even the Academic Affairs Office is just you alone.”
Dismantling the logic and exposing the defiance, the facade of threatening intimidation by the Dean of Academic Affairs faltered, and even continued further screaming and cursing couldn't stop Tang Xinjue's train of thought from logically coming to a conclusion:
“So, to lure away the girl ghosts so that they can't find this place for a while, and to imprison the last wave of candidates and avoid the losses of going toe-to-toe with them, all of your manpower that you can use has already been dispatched, and in the end, the only thing left is the most central, and the least threatening existence, is that right?”
Tang Xinjue had a smile on her face, but the Dean of Academic Affairs standing across from her couldn't laugh.
“I'm going to take you into the punishment room, I'm going to cut your mouth off piece by piece, so that you'll never be able to speak even as a ghost.”
She pointed at Tang Xinjue with a snappy voice and cursed, as if she was going to pounce on her next moment, but every time she nearly touched the hammer, she shivered and scornfully retracted, and in the end, she could only jump in place with her feeble and frenzied look, like a shrew cursing and hissing.
The ghost panicked, but the candidates were relieved.
Many people's tense shoulders relaxed, their eyes lit up a little, realizing that success was just around the corner.
The fastest few had already darted into action, and No. 7's blade was pressed against the Dean of Academic Affairs' neck, just a hair's breadth away from being able to cut right into it, “Cut the crap, letting us out now will still leave you a whole body.”
Tang Xinjue stopped her movement in time, “Don't make a move on it here, it'll more than likely trigger the final mechanism!”
The Dean of Academic Affairs Ghost was a weak chicken, defenseless in front of the candidates, and still dared to curse and provoke here, relying on what was definitely not the confidence of being able to lull the candidates over.
No. 7: “Then what can we do, wait here with this idiot?”
Tang Xinjue: “Don't worry, the true owner of the dungeon has already been released, they won't last long.”
Seemingly echoing what she said, the Dean of Academic Affairs' body suddenly shook violently, its eyes cackling in panic as it glanced uncontrollably towards the room's surroundings.
Following its line of sight, a rustling sound came from the ceiling gap, and then a greenish-black palm suddenly grabbed in!
“Cluck cluck cluck...”
“Found you...”
“Dean of Academic Affairs ... Zhang laoshi!”
Countless hands poked down from the ceiling one after another, followed by the shapes of bodies and faces, only that there seemed to be a thin membrane preventing them from actually entering here yet.
“There's still one last door to go...”
“Let's find the entrance...”
“I'm going to set a fire in this room... hee hee hee...”
“I found it, I found it!”
The sounds of the girls' distant discussions rose and fell, intertwining and mixing through the walls from beyond the ceiling, covering everyone's eardrums beyond and pressing downward inch by inch.
Without knowing the identity of the source of these sounds, the crowd would have had to be nervous. But now that they knew that the ones emitting the sounds were all female dormitory ghosts, the mental pollution effect was not only greatly reduced, but they even felt quite reassured.
The one who reacted the most was the other ghost - the Dean of Academic Affairs had long been covering its ears and shaking like a sieve, and finally screamed unbearably, and took the initiative to run into No. 7's blade before the female dormitory ghosts broke through the wall and entered!
No. 7 immediately withdrew her hand in shock, however, it was already a step too late. Sticky black liquid sprayed out from the Dean's neck, it did not fall down, but laughed strangely twice and took the opportunity to retreat to the corner of the wall, the black blood dropped drop by drop onto the ground, corroding a large bloodstain in an instant.
Seeing the familiar black liquid, the crowd finally had an epiphany of why the black liquid from before could actively attack them. So it was the Academic Affairs Office that was manipulating their own blood?
[Be careful, don't touch the corroded ground.]
Tang Xinjue's voice resounded in the minds of the four people in Dormitory 606. She had just dodged away from the spurting black blood, but No. 7 next to her was not spared.
No. 7's arm holding the knife was accidentally splattered with a drop of blood, and before she could wipe it off, her feet suddenly sank downwards - only to see a pair of pitch-black hands suddenly reach out from the ground, grasping her ankles in a death grip!
Click, click,... all the places on the ground that had been splattered with black blood bulged up into a large swollen bubble, and countless black withered hands reached out from the broken swollen bubbles, swarms of demons searching for prey, trying to pull the candidates in the room down.
“Hahahaha, die together, come and bury us all!”
The dean of academic affairs laughed like a mentally deranged psychopath, but her movements were not sloppy at all as she covered her neck and hid in the corner, fearing that all the blood inside would drain out, her eyeballs darting around.
Boom!
The half-laughing Dean of Academic Affairs was once again knocked out of the room, while the wall behind it exploded into a round hole with another loud bang, revealing several not-so-clear figures in the dust.
“Damn, finally found the place to fight the final boss... eh?”
Taking the scene inside the room into his eyes, the boys outside the wall were alarmed and let out a loud shout, “There are so many Bosses???”
