Chapter 156: Higher Education Entrance Examination (16)
Guo Guo wanted to become stronger, but she really didn't expect that the opportunity to "become stronger" would come so soon.
It was so fast that it caught me off guard. My palms were sweating, my calves were sore, and my cheeks were a little painful.
And judging from the description, whether to become stronger or to become a ghost is a question.
After a moment's silence, Guo Guo slowly raised his head with a frown on his face as if he had a toothache, and happened to meet Tang Xinjue's eyes.
“…”
They both burst out laughing at the same time.
Forget it, I’ve been to the gates of hell countless times, so what’s there to hesitate about?
Are you scared? It's okay to be scared. Comfort is reserved for the lucky ones who didn't get dragged into the game, and for those who have already failed in the game.
As for those who were already risking their lives in the game—Guo Guo began to take deep breaths to stretch his muscles, and at the same time opened his Yin-Yang eyes to the maximum range—
Just do it!
The five-minute wait time was neither long nor short. It was not short enough for Tang Xinjue to go out and rob an invigilator to change into new clothes, but it was enough for Zheng Wanqing to personally attack all four BOSS ghosts in the communication, and finally concluded that .
"Red, blue, green, and purple—all non-mainstream names—they're clearly in the same group!" Zheng Wanqing said firmly, "She can't defeat us on her own, so she brought her whole family with her to call for help just to get revenge."
Last time, he took away her right arm, and this time he was going to trick her roommate into taking a risk. The more Zheng Wanqing thought about it, the angrier she became: "Don't let me run into her!"
"I think Wanqing is right." Zhang You also frowned, because she couldn't go to Xin Jue and Guo Guo to help, so she could only wait here, and simply transferred all her anxiety and anger to the ghost.
From several marks in Tang Xinjue's spiritual realm, it can be seen that these ghosts have a strong desire for revenge.
But if every time they go through a copy, they are harassed and retaliated by the ghosts in it, how can they do it?
Tang Xinjue listened quietly, nodding occasionally:
"That makes sense. We used to focus on surviving the game, so we were too lenient with the ghosts. We never persecuted or killed them all. But sometimes, being kind to the enemy means being cruel to yourself."
Guo Guo was nervously watching the countdown. He looked up in confusion when he heard this: "God of Jue, at the end of our last match, our bloodshot eyeballs were eaten by a toilet plunger."
If the toilet plunger could be swallowed completely, not even the last piece would be left.
Tang Xin Jue remained calm, "How can it be called a complete extermination of the legitimate business of fleecing the sheep?"
Guo Guo: ...That seems to be true.
Before she could continue speaking, the sudden knocking and banging sounds outside the door interrupted her thoughts.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
"?!" Guo Guo quickly looked down at the drawer and found that the door was not moved at all. It was not a ghost riot caused by props.
"Jue Shen, outside..."
Tang Xin Jue glanced at them and wasn't surprised. "We've been away from the exam room for too long, the invigilator will definitely come looking for us. The door is already locked, so don't worry about it now."
Guo Guo: "Then when do we need to take care of it?"
Tang Xin Jue: "We'll deal with it after the door is broken."
“…”
The numbers on the watch dwindled, and the knocks on the door became more frequent and rapid. The two gradually held their breath, their entire attention focused on the drawer.
Just as the countdown was about to end, Tang Xinjue suddenly spoke up, "Actually, there's another best possibility. Even if you get the item, the dungeon won't change at all. Want to try your luck?"
Guo Guo's mentality, which had just been prepared, was suspended like a roller coaster again, and then he saw Tang Xinjue turn the key.
As the bell rang, signaling the end of the exam, the drawer was opened with a click, revealing a palm-sized seal inside.
A friendly sign next to it reads: [Approved by the Academic Affairs Office, please use it here]
The two exchanged glances. At that moment, the long exam bell suddenly became shrill and piercing, blaring like a siren!
At the same time, the door of the room trembled heavily, and the sturdy wooden board suddenly broke into pieces, revealing a crowd of invigilators outside, so dense that there was almost no gap between them, blocking the two people's way out.
Tang Xin Jue picked up the seal: "Okay, the worst has happened."
She pushed the cabinet without hesitation, and Guo Guo immediately understood and started to move the other side. Together, they pushed the huge wooden cabinet towards the door. The overturned cabinet immediately knocked down a large number of invigilators.
Before the remaining invigilators could fill in the blanks, the two men rushed into the corridor, stepping on the cabinets!
As soon as they entered the corridor, Tang Xinjue and Guo Guo immediately felt the change in the environment.
If the teaching building had previously felt vaguely chilly, now it felt almost like being in an ice cellar. The area around the invigilators was even colder. Guo Guo caught a glimpse of an invigilator's face from the corner of his eye, and his scalp tingled.
Not only were the corners of these people's mouths and eyeballs covered in bloodshot, their skin had also begun to turn pale and rot, and their movements were extremely stiff, making people think of corpses crawling out of a freezer.
As Tang Xin Jue had predicted, these once normal NPCs had already begun to transform. First, the invigilator, then...
The doors of the examination rooms burst open, and candidates with corpse spots all over their bodies rushed out frantically and pounced on the two men!
"The door of the Academic Affairs Office is 10 meters away from the main door of the teaching building, and the distance from the main door of the teaching building to the school gate is 30 meters."
Zhang You reported the progress of Tang and Guo in real time based on the terrain on his side.
Is this ten meters?
Guo Guo gasped and turned his head to look forward, feeling as if he was looking at a chasm.
Waves of mutated NPCs swarmed in front of him, and the rising malice and stench of decay made him dizzy.
Fortunately, Tang Xinjue had broken off a few wooden boards from the cabinet in advance. She led the way in front, and Guo Guo blocked the crowd from behind, and they were able to barely squeeze out a path.
But this was just the beginning—an ominous premonition rose in Guo Guo's heart. She used her Yin-Yang eyes to observe her surroundings and soon discovered something unusual:
"Xin Jue, the light is wrong!"
The corridor lights that were still glowing normally when viewed with normal vision were rapidly dimming in Yin-Yang's eyes, as if something was spreading over and was about to catch up with the two of them.
"We heard strange noises here too."
Zhang You also said hurriedly into the communicator: "It seems like something is crawling, and it also sounds like electric sparks. Did you hear it over there?"
Tang Xin Jue slapped away a head that was biting towards him and said with understanding, "It seems those things have come out."
Guo Guo: "What is it?"
"Remember the data room? Outside that corridor, those things hidden in the stairs that can't see the light."
Tang Xinjue wiped the blood from his eyelashes: "They came out faster than I thought, follow me."
Guo Guo felt her body being pulled upwards. She turned around and saw Tang Xinjue grabbing her arm. A clear voice rang in her ears: "We can't leave through the main gate of the teaching building."
What awaits them there are not only ordinary monsters, but also dark creatures and Xiaohong.
The two roommates on the other end of the communication signal were stunned: "Then where are you going?"
"A closer exit."
At the same time, the roar of the monster in the communication signal suddenly became much louder, as if it had suddenly gotten closer to them!
This is indeed the case.
If they were next to Guo Guo at this moment, they would see Tang Xinjue grabbing a candidate who was screaming with his mouth wide open, using him as a human shield and slamming him into the nearest examination room, forcing his way through.
The candidate whose face was hit like a dustpan: "Roar!"
Then Tang Xinjue threw him out of the door to block the huge crowd. The door was then closed and locked, temporarily separating the two worlds.
"Jump out the window."
Tang Xin Jue is concise and to the point.
Guo Guo turned his head and saw four evenly spaced, spacious and transparent windows coming into view. At the end of the view outside the windows, the school gate was clearly visible.
——Most importantly, there are no iron railings.
That's right! Guo Guo suddenly realized and rushed forward:
Who says you have to go through the main entrance of the teaching building? Isn’t jumping out of the window the same?
The classroom door was shaking violently behind me.
Tang Xinjue knew the door wouldn't withstand a few blows. But even more dangerous than the NPC behind the door was the darkness that spread as the lights went out.
She had just been there and knew what kind of monster lurked there.
The only feasible way to escape the pursuit of this monster is to leave the closed room and let the daylight drive away the creatures that parasitize the darkness.
The other party was obviously aware of their plan. The cold and damp breath suddenly accelerated and rushed into the classroom to chase them.
Guo Guo had already touched the window glass in front, but the glass was closed tightly and could not be pushed open suddenly. She was about to turn around to look for Tang Xinjue when she heard a stern voice behind her: "Don't look back!"
Guo Guo's heart trembled. He gritted his teeth and put all his strength into his hands. Regardless of the consequences, he forced a gap open. Before the cold air licked up, he turned over and rolled on the ground twice before stopping the momentum.
"My heart decides..."
She covered her almost broken neck and hurriedly turned back to look for someone, but she didn't see Tang Xinjue. The window she came out of was closed tightly at some point, leaving only darkness inside.
"Heart decision? Heart decision!!"
Guo Guo was startled, and rushed over to pry the window open frantically, not even noticing that blood was dripping from his already swollen nails.
"Don't worry, I'll be right out."
When the familiar voice reappeared in the communication signal, Guo Guo almost burst into tears, but he held it back to avoid affecting his speech: "I'm waiting for you here. Do you need any help?"
Even if Tang Xinjue said he wanted to kill people or set fire to something now, she would definitely be the first to hand over the oil barrel!
Tang Xin Jue: "I'm going to start a fire. Watch out and don't let any other monsters escape."
Guo Guo: "...Okay."
Wait, how did Tang Xin Jue get so famous?
Before anyone could figure out the answer to this question, a blazing, hot light pierced the darkness inside the glass window.
The flames that quickly spread to the window made Guo Guo step back slightly. Then, amidst a sudden burst of distorted wailing, he saw a familiar tall figure in the room.
At almost the same time, from the direction of the distant teaching building gate, Xiaohong's screams pierced the air:
"Tang! Heart! Secret!!!"
