Chapter 103: Surprise Hygiene Inspection
At this moment, the reactions of the human ghosts inside the wall and the few people outside the wall both couldn’t be more tense.
Through the blurred vision of dust and dirt, a few boys subconsciously made the action of drawing their weapons with the first shout, and the line of girls in the room also hurriedly retreated in a defensive position. The atmosphere was tense for a while.
Guo Guo was confused and shouted: “Wait? We're not the boss? Aren't you also a candidate?”
The boy who shouted earlier reacted quickly, “Everyone be careful, this group of Bosses are quite smart, deliberately tricking us into letting our guard down, don't go in... eh eh eh? Why did you go in, Shi ge?!”
A tall boy with a sideways step from behind him, took the lead and walked into the admissions office room, calmly said, “They are not ghosts... At least the ones standing here are not.”
“You've been taken over too? It's over, let's just wait for death.”
The boy put down the shovel in his hand in despair, but realized that the “BOSS” in the room did not attack him either, when the smoke cleared, revealing a row of appearance belonging to a young girl.
Boy: “????”
Just as he was lost in thought, a large hand covered in black paint suddenly emerged from the ground and grabbed at his legs with great speed! Before the boy had time to react, a hammer arrived faster than his teammate's support, and the ghostly hand was smashed into black mud in the blink of an eye.
Tang Xinjue picked up the hammer and gave him a nod, “Male dormitory candidate?”
The fussy boy with short, buzz cut hair said, “...You, you're really not a monster?”
Rushing over, Zheng Wanqing raised her right arm and threw a punch, the wind of her fist scraped past the boy's steeply widened eyes and landed heavily on the new ghostly hand that the air had quietly formed, “Nonsense, of course not! We're female dormitory candidates, fighting monsters with you guys!”
Zheng Wanqing pointed towards the corner of the wall where the Dean of Academic Affairs was trying to hide its form, “Here, see, the real BOSS of Academic Affairs is over there.”
She and Tang Xinjue rushed over one after the other not to specifically explain their identities, the two of them didn't care about short-haired boy with a head full of questions anymore, and at the same time, they pulled up No. 7, who was caught in the black paint, and broke up all of the ghostly hands that were entangled in her, helping No. 7 regain the feel in her legs.
The boy who came in first also took a hand, and when No. 7 stood up he turned his head and walked purposefully towards the Dean of Academic Affairs.
The Dean of Academic Affairs seemed to recognize him, and her face was ashen: ''Students who do not abide by the school's discipline... You have violated the rules! You will receive the harshest punishment! You will regret it for the rest of your life, you you you...”
The boy really stopped in his tracks.
The Dean didn't expect her threat to actually work, and was just about to continue in joy when she felt a coolness coming from the top of her scalp.
“Hee hee hee...”
“Giggle giggle...”
The girl's malice-filled laughter drifted into her ears as if it were right there... The Dean of Academic Affairs tilted her head to see a bruised and swollen face.
It fell from the roof in a dangling fashion, grinning from a position less than ten centimeters above his head, “It's been a long time, Director Zhang. Do you still remember who I am?”
The first scream since the opening of this room finally struck the first shot as the Dean of Academic Affairs crumbled.
The ceiling barrier shattered, the walls and floor turned into thick slurry, and the evil hell reappeared on earth.
Countless girls in ghastly states of death crawled into the room and grabbed the Dean of Academic Affairs with open arms, recounting bittersweet memories and affectionately letting each other experience what they had suffered.
The howling ghastly wind made the room almost impossible to stand in, and Tang Xinjue took her roommates’ hands. It was now imperative to get rid of the frantically attacking ghostly hands and not be dragged underground by them. The others also searched for a place to land. Luckily, the experience of fighting the black liquid all day had given them skillful sparring techniques, and they were able to wander between the ghost hands without losing ground.
But for the male dormitory candidates who had just entered the room, the situation was not so optimistic.
“Shi ge wait for me... Crap! What is this thing? How come there are so many?”
“Obviously these are all variants of the Blackblood Boss.” The companion explained a couple of things to the short-haired boy, but he saw the short-haired boy open his mouth wide to the ceiling again, “Oh my shit f**k, these are all ghosts right? How are there more than those perverts in the student council?”
“Student Council?”
The female dormitory ghost that had already been staring at the Academic Affairs Dean without any distractions was roused to attention by the special noun, her neck clicked and rotated one hundred and eighty degrees, and two streams of blood and tears gurgled down from her black eye sockets, “What did you say?”
The short-haired boy: “...Sorry, I didn't say anything.”
“The student council stabbed me blind and left me to starve to death outside a cupboard full of food... I need to find them, where are they?”
The blind female ghosts approached step by step with tears of blood, and the short-haired boy didn't dare to attack rashly, so he could only ask for help from the female dormitory candidates who were originally here, “Who can help me, what the hell is going on here!”
A group of ghosts above, a group of ghosts underground, the center is still a ghost, and another wave of girls who claimed to be candidates as well suddenly appeared... He was going crazy!
A clear and gentle female voice came from nearby, “Just be honest.”
The short-haired boy froze and looked at Tang Xinjue, “Tell the truth?”
“That's right.” Tang Xinjue swung a hammer thicker than her own thigh to smash another ghost hand, black liquid splashing onto the passing female ghost. The short-haired boy's pupils shrank, but he was shocked to find that the female ghost, however, didn't show a ferocious color, but only wiped it in disgust and continued crawling towards the Dean of Academic Affairs.
The short-haired boy did not know if he was stupidly shut down by this dungeon, but he strangely felt that the female ghosts did not seem to be hostile to the candidates, but how could it be possible?
The tragic ending of the male dormitory haunting battle abruptly surged to his mind, and with a jolt, the short-haired boy still slowly raised his shovel, ready to fight to the death at any time with the girl ghosts that had turned into severe ghosts in front of him.
“Han Ying.”
Just then, the “Shi ge” who had been called out all along finally turned his head and calmly shouted out the buzz cut haired boy's name: “Don't attack, communicate with them.”
“Ah?”
“These female... dormitory ghosts don't have any malicious intent towards us, it can also be said that their main malicious intent is not on us.” The boy lowered his eyes and turned the rectangular metal object in his hand, “The test is different for different people.”
The ghosts and monsters that were vicious and malevolent to them were not necessarily so with the other wave of candidates. They benefited from the battlefield opened up by others, and had to abide by others' rules as well.
Han Ying scratched his head in disbelief and tentatively said to the blind girl ghost, “Then I'll say it, the student council was sent to wear us out, and we just got them killed in the punishment room, but they probably didn't die all the way either. If you really want revenge, just, go next door and take a look?”
The girl ghost turned her head, but really a gust of wind blew into the next door, quite a few ghostly shadows followed and rushed in, and in less than a moment dragged out a few screaming stumps, precisely the ghosts of the student council that hadn't yet been dispersed from their souls.
“Hee hee hee hee, not a single one can escape, everyone needs to be neat and tidy.”
The number of ghosts and monsters entering the room increased, and the Academic Affairs Dean's miserable screams grew stronger and stronger, and the dying ghostly hands became more and more frantic.
Tang Xinjue had just helped Guo Guo break free from a round of attacks when she heard the Dean of Academic Affairs' hysterical screams:
“Don't kill me! Save me! I'll repay you, I'll pay a reward, a reward that will absolutely satisfy you-”
Seeing Tang Xinjue turn his head, Zhang You and the three of them also looked back, “What's wrong?”
Tang Xinjue: “Did you guys hear the sound?”
The roommate was even more confused, “What sound, didn't hear it.”
Using the same question to ask Jiang Lan and the others, they all shook their heads, they could only hear wailing and howling, not begging for mercy.
And within Tang Xinjue's hearing, the Dean of Academic Affairs was still earnestly persuading, constantly emphasizing how precious the gift she was giving would be, even if she let the student ghosts and monsters save up for a hundred years, they wouldn't be able to save up their family's money.
“Yes?”
Shi ge, who had been quietly watching in front of him until now, suddenly spoke out, his voice fleeting in the air, as if accompanied by a short, light laugh.
Tang Xinjue suddenly realized that this person could also hear the teacher's voice. And of all the people present, only the two of them seemed to be able to hear it.
The Dean of Academic Affairs remained undeterred: ''Don't you guys want it? Your friend should be dying, I can feel his life coming through, you guys are too late to save him, and if I die he dies too!”
The boy, however, shook his head, “You don't necessarily have to make a deal with you if you want to take what you have. I didn't wait this long to come and make a deal with you either.”
The Dean of the academic affair’s complexion changed drastically, and as it hissed harshly. The ghostly hands that had been knocked apart by the students reassembled and fused one by one, turning into a flattened, gigantic human skin that climbed onto the wall. This human skin rustled and wriggled, trying to wrap around the whole room, as if it would devour them into its stomach, pulling everyone down with it before its own demise.
“This boss is a bit tougher than I thought.”
Ke Ke walked to Tang Xinjue's side with Jiang Lan's help and gasped, “Cooperate?”
Tang Xinjue understood.
The field was temporarily handed over to Zheng Wanqing, Zhang You and the others to control, Tang Xinjue let go of her attacks to concentrate her mental powers, directing them little by little to Ke Ke.
Ke Ke's own physique was already very strong, but because the supernatural ability was counter-intuitive and had no limitations, it led to a significant consumption of spirit every time it was used, entering a long period of weakness. That was why it was either not used at all or only used once within a dungeon.
To use it a second time without damaging the roots of life... unless some method was used to replenish the spirit that had been consumed.
And Tang Xinjue, who had mastered the Spirit Ability, could do just that.
The black lacquered human skin was still continuing to devour, and the male dormitory candidates also flew to join the battlefield after figuring out the situation, and they sort of figured out one thing: all the ones in this room that have a human form were all friendlies that could not be moved, and the ones that did not have a human form are all monsters, and only if the Dean of the academic affairs department, the biggest monster, was dead, could everything be solved.
And when everything was resolved...
Keke opened her eyes, which were bloodshot from the extra infusion of spiritual energy, but that was no longer her concern right now.
She spoke softly:
"Seeing is false, and words are true. From now on, the damage that the student ghosts will do to you will increase dramatically, and dying struggle will be meaningless.”
“Death will come to you.”
Whether as a human or a ghost, in reality or in the game, true extinction and death.
The Dean of Academic Affairs had long been bound to die, and all they had to do was fast-forward through the process.
The Dean of Academic Affairs' eyes bulged out.
Its human form was now unrecognizable, all that remained of its body was a nearly transparent skin, tattered and torn by the convergence of all of the students' living tragedies. It opened its mouth silently, trying to make a final curse spitefully.
The boy surnamed Shi, who had been silent all along, suddenly raised the metal in his hand, and a large amount of mist came out from it, and only then did the bystanders see that it was a spray canister.
Covered by the mist, the Dean of Academic Affairs was mute and could no longer speak. However, at this time, the girl ghosts and monsters gathered around it stopped their attacks.
It seemed that an unseen force had fallen on them, and the ghosts looked at each other, and together they looked at the human girls.
Keke had been helped to sit on the ground, and Tang Xinjue nodded at them.
Then the ghosts and monsters smiled back, and the hideous figures disappeared into thin air.
In the next second, young and complete figures walked out.
The girl ghosts and monsters became what they looked like before they were born, some were wearing dresses, some were wearing denim, and some were wearing Hanfu coat dresses embarrassedly adjusting the hairpins on their heads... From the luggage and backpacks they could recognize that this seemed to be the scene when they came to enroll in school for the first time.
Seeing the ghosts of the girls in this state, the Dean of academic affairs, however, was more afraid than seeing a fierce ghost. Its eyes rolled frantically in fear, but its body did not move. It could not move.
The students who came to “enroll” also seemed to have discovered the existence of the dean, and they approached him with a sense of wonder and nervousness, asking, “Is this the Hongxin* Academy?”
*literally translates to ‘Red Heart’
The Dean of Academic Affairs tried to deny it, but its mouth opened uncontrollably and rustled, “Yes.”
“That's great, this is the place we were looking for...”
The girls laughed.
They picked up the hard pens and contract paper and said to the Dean of Academic Affairs, “Our enrollment contract can no longer be modified, so we have to sign the graduation contract. Thanks for your hard work, teacher.”
Jiang tongxue stepped out from the crowd, wearing a youthful tracksuit, she raised her ponytail behind her shoulders, then smiled as she held the pen with such force that the pen stabbed deep into the top of the Dean’s head.
"The teacher's soul is just right for us to sign."
“Don't, don't--”
Tang Xinjue looked away, her gaze calm, “Dean Zhang, from the moment you were pulled into the game to become ghosts and monsters, you should have already foreseen this scene today.”
The girls on both sides of the room each pulled on the dean’s arm amidst its screams, then with a forceful yank, they tore the dean in half like paper. The visceral bones wrapped in black liquid gurgling and falling to the ground, while the skin was torn into countless parts, densely signed with the names of the students.
The black paint wrapped around the room collapsed and dissolved into the most common pus, no longer having any semblance of offensive power.
The tired obsession was finally avenged.
Zhang You reminded, “We still need a hygiene check to leave the dungeon.”
The hygiene inspection needed approval from the Registrar's Office or the student union's dormitory manager, and now that they were all dead, the authority naturally shifted.
The female ghosts clapped their hands and laughed, “That's no problem!”
They casually tore off a piece of the Academic Affairs Dean's skin, which turned into a whiteboard, and Jiang tongxue made a big stroke:
[917 Dormitory Hygiene Inspection: full marks!]
The male dormitory candidates side hurriedly said, “And us!”
Jiang tongxue glanced: “So troublesome, wait for me to find another piece of skin oh...”
Where no one was looking, the tall, thin boy walked over to where a pile of organs were piled up and bubbling, and began rummaging around inside.
Tang Xinjue felt her arm being pulled by No. 7, the girl's face was expressionless: “Ghost BOSS will burst out props after being completely killed, whoever can get it is the one who gets it.”
They had seen blood and flesh all the way through the level, so they couldn't let the male dormitory monopolize the extra rewards.
Seeing the girls look over, the male dormitory candidates scalp tightened, the The short-haired boy immediately distanced himself from the matter, “If you guys want to grab it, go grab it with Shi An! We just want to wait to pass and bring our injured roommate back, your 1V1 solo must not affect us!”
The vast majority of people on both sides of the dormitory to this point have been exhausted, all rely on the willpower to hold on to not go into shock, and can not withstand further inward roll.
No. 7 was decisive: “I can't beat him.”
Her estimation of strength had always been accurate.
Tang Xinjue looked at the others again with the same attitude.
Jiang Lan said bluntly, “If only one dormitory among us takes the reward, it should be you guys. You're also the only one who has room to compete.”
“...“ Tang Xinjue smiled, ”Thank you.”
Before the words left her mouth, she had already flashed over to the body of the Dean of Academic Affairs, taking the few things that fell out of it the moment the organs burst open!
The boy wasn't surprised that someone had come to compete, he just didn't expect to be really outpaced in terms of speed. Even though he had a head start, he still only managed to grab half of it.
He didn't hesitate to reach out and grab it, Tang Xinjue also backhanded and slapped it over, the two of them briefly struck and then each took a few steps back to see the items in each other's hands.
In the boy's hand was a bottle of blood and a fountain pen, while in Tang Xinjue's hand was a bundle of red thread and a piece of yellow paper.
There were four whole props hidden in the body of the Dean, so it was no wonder it was protected by layers until the end.
The boy didn't look like he wanted to give up the remaining two, the spray immediately erupted from the props in his hands. Tang Xinjue had already held her breath to prepare herself, but she still smelled a strange odor--
It was a green tea odor that wasn't fragrant, but instead somewhat pungent.
But as the mist filled the air, nothing happened around her, even when she used her spiritual power to check. Tang Xinjue frowned, “Are you purifying the air?”
Boy: “...”
He also did not expect this kind of result. His unclear face raised his eyebrows in surprise in the mist and dust, and he quickly shook the prop in his hand, and then what came out was liquid. The blue liquid condensed into a cold ice cone in the air, which was avoided by Tang Xinjue and stabbed into the ground and quickly turned into a thin membrane, firmly fixing nearly one square meter of the area, and the black liquid on the ground also evaporated in an instant under the membrane.
The opponent had a set of offensive, defensive and auxiliary combined in one of the props, Tang Xinjue understood. In addition to using it in the form of a spray is rather peculiar, the rest of the attributes must be very strong, so he had the confidence to fight for it.
It was a pity that the toilet plunger wasn't in her hands right now. Tang Xinjue put the prop into her storage ring and held the hammer with both hands.
The boy's gaze paused at the huge hammer with great visual impact, “...”
He didn't know why Tang Xinjue was immune to the spray, and after weighing the situation, he didn't continue his attack, but instead opened his mouth, “I want these props, if you don't have to have them, I can exchange them for other props.”
Tang Xinjue smiled, “At the sight of these props, I will not negotiate for them.”
Both the red thread and the yellow paper reminded her of something, and she also vaguely understood why the boy was so obsessed with these few dropped items.
Both voices were of the warm and calm type, and the conversation sounded a mass of harmony, almost as if old friends were chatting away - if one ignored the weapons in their hands.
Perhaps it was the fact that the air was filled with spraying moisture, just in time to erase the dust that had been floating around, and everyone finally got a good look at each other.
The boy's gaze landed on Tang Xinjue's face, and he was suddenly stunned, “...Tang Xinjue?”
Tang Xinjue frowned when he called it.
She remembered that the short-haired boy called this boy “Shi An”, but she didn't remember recognizing anyone by that name.
The boy's face was by no means the plain, easily-forgotten type, and Tang Xinjue briefly scanned through her memory to confirm that she didn't recognize him.
Shi An was about to say something else when the female ghost's side suddenly tapped out a new white board, “Got it!”
“You guys go back and hang the board in a random corridor outside the dormitory. It means that you have passed the inspection and you can leave!"
The other female ghosts chirped, “Hurry up and go, hurry up and go, we're leaving too!”
“We're leaving too, really?”
“That's right!”
“Yes!”
The female ghosts talked to each other joyfully, completely ignoring the existence of the candidates.
Meanwhile at the same moment, an unfamiliar boy with an anxious face ran out of the hole connecting the other room, “Lao Gong can't hold on much longer!”
Shi An's face changed, turned his head and rushed back with the other boys. On the girls' side, everyone also helped No. 5 and the others to leave.
The two sides met briefly, and couldn't communicate too much before they hurriedly separated again, each going their own way through the pass.
“Let's go.” Tang Xinjue no longer pondered, following behind her roommates.
The black and red doors that they came from were reopened, and when they stepped into the familiar corridor and hung up the notice board, No. 5 suddenly shouted: "By the way! I haven't told you our names yet!"
Tang Xinjue turned her head in response, and weightlessness and darkness hit her the next instant.
