"The students who were forcibly sent into the horror game have returned!"
This news spread like wildfire, capturing the attention of the entire Dragon Country, causing an uproar online.
Seven days ago, the Jinzhou University school bus plunged into the river, creating a massive sensation.
The reason for the sensation wasn't the bus falling into the river, but that the 45 university students on board were forcibly sent into a horror game.
During these seven days, almost everyone was concerned about whether these students would make it back.
Now, there was finally an outcome.
The reported results left many sighing.
Less than half of the students returned alive!
On the Jinzhou overpass, police officers were involved, sealing off both ends of the bridge, while ambulances and police cars arrived one after another.
After Tang Ming and the others had their identities confirmed, they were sent to ambulances to go to the hospital for medical examinations.
"Name."
"Qin Nuo."
"Age."
"......"
A young police officer was recording Qin Nuo's identity information. Seeing Qin Nuo's absent-minded look, he sighed and patted his shoulder, "Good kid, I know these seven days were the darkest moments of your life, and you're grieving for your lost companions."
"But remember, you came back alive, you're heroes, and you need to quickly step out of the shadows!"
Qin Nuo blinked and nodded, "Yeah, I know."
In reality, his absent-mindedness wasn't because of that.
He was thinking about the upcoming examination process.
"Will the doctors notice something's wrong with my right hand?"
In the horror game, making a contract with a ghost wasn't considered a heinous act.
Previously, the news had reported about top players signing curse contracts with ghosts, gaining high attention, and even directly entering the Ghost Controller organization to serve the Dragon Country.

But Qin Nuo precisely didn't want to attract high attention.
The more attention, the more trouble.
"Relax, I can disrupt those doctors' neural perceptions, creating an illusion to help you pass smoothly," the Blood-Eyed Ghost's voice echoed in his mind.
"Why are you suddenly so kind?" Qin Nuo's expression was skeptical; wasn't this guy eager to see him fail?
"I don't want to be targeted by you humans either," the Blood-Eyed Ghost said flatly.
Soon, the students were sent to the hospital, and after a round of examinations, they all came out smoothly. Then, they were sent to the police station to wait for their respective families to pick them up.
In the hall, Tang Ming came over, eagerly asking, "Old Qin, what was your dungeon reward?"
"Some odd trinkets, nothing special," Qin Nuo said plainly, touching his nose.
Just average.
He only got rewarded with a convenience store.
"Come on, stop being so humble. You even got to a managerial position in the restaurant; your score must be better than mine."
But Qin Nuo didn't want to say more, and Tang Ming didn't press further.
"Let me show you my reward."
Tang Ming looked around, then mysteriously covered the view with his body, pulling out a stinky sock from under his clothes.
"You have this kind of fetish?" Qin Nuo was surprised.
"Get lost, this is a ghost item! Haven't you seen the news? Those veteran players can sell a single ghost item for millions on the market!"
"Though mine is a bit low-end, it's still a ghost item. It should fetch tens or hundreds of thousands, right?"
"Besides, when it comes to fetishes, you're the real deal. Who else would carry a used sanitary pad around?" Tang Ming teased.
"Let me show you my reward," Qin Nuo laughed, then took out a bottle of yellow liquid.
Tang Ming asked curiously, "What's this?"
"I'm not too sure either. The reward said it's some kind of divine water, and after drinking it, ghosts will avoid you like the plague."
"Damn, this is a treasure!"
Tang Ming's eyes lit up, "Say no more, let me have a sip first. With this, won't the dungeon be a breeze?"
Saying that, he twisted open the cap, ready to take a sip.
But as it reached his lips, he noticed something was off—a strong, pungent smell assaulted his nose.
Tang Ming looked at the bottle and finally found the words "boy's urine" at the bottom.
"Damn it, Old Qin, you bastard! Good thing I didn't drink it, or I'd have to fight you!" Tang Ming shouted, drawing the attention of many. He quickly covered his mouth and sat down.
Disgustedly, he shoved the boy's urine back into Qin Nuo's hand.
"Seriously, boy's urine? You play so well, but your reward is too cruel. I feel sorry for you for a second," Tang Ming said sympathetically to Qin Nuo.
Qin Nuo smiled without a word, putting the boy's urine away.
He had a feeling this thing might come in handy someday.
Liu Jiaqi came over.
"Qin Nuo, my parents are here, I'm heading back."
"Thank you for taking care of me these past seven days. I will definitely repay you." For some reason, her cheeks turned a deep red as she said this.
Qin Nuo nodded slightly, "We were classmates, looking out for each other is only natural."
"Yeah, if you have time next time, I'll treat you to a meal to properly thank you."
After Liu Jiaqi left, Tang Ming came over, grinning mischievously, "Not bad, Old Qin. I heard you spent the last few days sharing a bed with Liu, the campus belle. Looks like she's got you wrapped around her finger now, huh?"
"She slept on her side, and I slept on mine."
"In that situation, I wasn't in the mood for such things," Qin Nuo said.
"You steel-hearted man, I really admire you."
"Rejecting a love opportunity handed to you on a silver platter and even locking the door!" Tang Ming was speechless.
"Boss Qin, our families are here, we're heading off!"
Zhang Yu and Liu Xing came over, bowing to Qin Nuo at a 90-degree angle, showing immense respect.
"Safe travels," Qin Nuo waved them off.
Tang Ming was astonished, "Weren't these two guys the ones who ignored you in class? Why are they acting like they've met their benefactor now?"
"Maybe it's my strong personal charm," Qin Nuo replied casually, checking the time and starting to feel restless.
"Qin Nuo, your family is here, you can leave now," a police officer came over and said.
Qin Nuo bid farewell to Tang Ming and walked out of the police station, spotting a tall, ponytailed girl with a delicate appearance anxiously looking around.
Qin Nuo walked over and waved, "Sis, I'm here!"
"Little brother! I was so worried about you. Thank goodness you made it back alive!"
Qin Yushi's eyes were red with emotion when she saw Qin Nuo, rushing over to hug him, despite him being half a head taller.
Those two soft mounds pressed right against Qin Nuo's face.
Soft, yet suffocating!
Passersby couldn't help but swallow at the sight.
Goodness!
This face wash, I'm envious!
"Sis, let go first, I can't breathe!" Qin Nuo struggled to say.
Qin Yushi released Qin Nuo and pulled him towards a red Civic, "Say no more, sis will take you for a big meal to welcome you back and wash away the bad luck!"
"You probably haven't eaten well these past seven days, right?"
"Actually, my meals were pretty good. In the game, there was a warm-hearted ghost who often provided me with food for free, solving my three meals," Qin Nuo said.
"There's such a nice ghost?" Qin Yushi was surprised.
At the same time.
In the corridor of the Nether Springs Restaurant.
The vending machine ghost suddenly sneezed several times, muttering angrily, "I feel like some bastard is cursing me?"
