After the evening self-study ended, the students returned to their dorms one by one. Zhen Tao, feeling heavy-hearted, also carried his backpack back to the dorm.
Due to the school's excellent discipline, there was no dorm supervisor present.
During morning reading, if a student was absent, they received a warning.
Absent twice, and they had to go home for reflection.
More than three times, and they were expelled.
As the most prestigious high school in City A, the school's approach was indeed somewhat harsh, but the high admission rate made everyone eager to get in!
The dorm environment was decent, with six people per room, beds aligned, and sturdy iron frames. Below were desks with lamps prepared by the school for students to study all night, quite considerate.
Zhen Tao returned to his dorm, tossed his backpack onto the bed, and collapsed into the comfortable covers!
The exam that afternoon had nearly drained him!
And during the evening self-study, the old man who came was terrifying, with a cleaver stuck in his head, still bleeding!
If the math invigilator, Teacher Li You, still had some humanity, then their homeroom teacher, this old man with a cleaver in his head, didn't hide the fact that he was a fierce ghost at all!
There were three classes during the evening self-study.
The old man stared at him the whole time, grinning eerily.
Zhen Tao's spirit was constantly teetering in a dangerous zone.
He barely made it to the end of class, dragging his heavy steps back to the dorm. On the way, Yang Linlin kept giving him psychological counseling, making him feel a bit better.
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
As soon as Zhen Tao lay on the bed, he was overwhelmed with sleepiness, his mind foggy, and he lost consciousness as soon as he closed his eyes...
He had a dream.
In the dream, a roommate stood pale-faced and hollow-eyed at his bedside, looking at him with a creepy smile!
"You're doomed!"
He cursed viciously.
Zhen Tao woke up with a start, drenched in cold sweat!
The dorm was pitch black.
Outside, the stars cast a faint light, sprinkling into the dorm, and as Zhen Tao, accustomed to the darkness, suddenly saw, the entire dorm...
He was the only one left!
...
At the same time, Zhao Yi was facing the same situation.
All four players had suddenly fallen asleep due to a mysterious force, and when they woke up again, they found they were the only ones in the entire dorm building!
Zhao Yi checked the time on his phone.
11:57 PM.
Only three minutes left until their agreed time at midnight.
Zhao Yi quickly headed to the agreed pavilion, but under the pavilion, only Yang Linlin was there.
The surrounding scenery had drastically changed, desolate and dilapidated, with a bleak view everywhere.
The walls even resembled rotting corpses, oozing foul-smelling slime!
Yang Linlin, anxious from waiting, cautiously looked around, stamping her feet and clenching her hands.
Seeing Zhao Yi, her spirit lifted!
"You're finally here!"
"Where are the others?"
Zhao Yi shook his head.
"Haven't seen them."
"Everyone's disappeared, I even thought you weren't here."
Yang Linlin was stunned by his words.
"How could this happen?"
"Could it be they..."
Zhao Yi:
"Don't overthink it, we probably haven't triggered any death points yet, they're likely still alive."
"Judging by the surroundings, we've probably entered a place similar to the 'inner world'."
"This is a good thing, at least when exploring the school, we won't be as restricted as during the day."
In their daytime identities at the school, they couldn't possibly delve deeper into the school's matters.
Now the system had opened previously restricted areas for them, giving them a chance to explore the school.
Zhao Yi headed towards the teaching building, and when Yang Linlin came to her senses, she realized Zhao Yi had already walked far away!
"Hey! Wait for me!"
She hurriedly caught up with Zhao Yi.
Such a straightforward guy, at least take care of the young lady beside you, hey!
She stayed close to Zhao Yi.
Not leaving his side, as if that was the only way to feel safe.
As they entered the teaching building's vicinity, they immediately saw a vague black shadow in the distance.
It was too far to see clearly, but it seemed to be standing there, watching them.
"What... what is that..."
Yang Linlin's voice changed.
Zhao Yi strode towards the shadow, replying:
"Don't know, but it's definitely not human."
Yang Linlin shrank her neck at his words, hurriedly grabbing Zhao Yi.
"And you're still going?"
"Are you crazy?"
Zhao Yi turned back to explain:
"If it's a neutral entity, it might help us gather information."
"And... and if it's not?"
Zhao Yi pulled out a scalpel that was continuously dripping blood, smiling faintly:
"Then I'll make it a neutral entity."
Yang Linlin was speechless.
She took a serious look at Zhao Yi, and under the moonlight, Zhao Yi holding the scalpel... seemed scarier than a ghost!
Especially his smile, which gave Yang Linlin a creepy feeling!
Bullet comments:
: Damn, this guy's got some real guts!
: I've been following Brother Zhao Yi since the last dungeon, this guy is ruthless when he acts! He killed six ghosts in Colossus Hospital! One of the little ghosts was even a side quest NPC, but because Zhao Yi suspected it was dangerous, he not only chopped its head off but also took out its mom!
: Hiss—really?
: Absolutely true! Even Yang Tao, the boss in the live streaming room, was stunned!
