Chapter 87 Health Surprise Inspection (XVI)
No one expected that things would turn out like this just a few minutes after the second health inspection.
The ghost that occupied the examinee's body became a breakthrough in the test information. Tang Xinjue and his friends figured out the cause and effect in a few words, and found the logical loopholes in it. Now he is in self-doubt.
No. 13 opened his eyes in confusion, and was guided into his memories by Tang Xinjue's voice.
Who said they could cheat on the exam rules in the first place? It seems like...
In places invisible to ordinary people, black air began to surge, as if looking for something.
Dozens of seconds later, the two ghosts controlling No. 13 and Orofei's bodies changed their expressions at the same time: "No, why are our numbers decreasing?"
The candidates looked at each other: Are there any unexpected gains?
Immediately afterwards, No. 13 and Ou Ruofei fell down. Tang Xinjue and others immediately supported them and let them lie safely on the bed.
"What's going on now?"
Dormitory No. 5 and No. 11 and 12 didn't quite understand and asked the people next to them in a low voice.
Guo Guo also replied in a low voice: "Have you heard of the countryside surrounding the cities? Now the suffering migrant workers must unite."
Zheng Wanqing disagreed: "Isn't this a split from within the enemy? Whether it's a ghost student or a ghost teacher, they are all ghosts."
Guo Guo retorted: "Miss, this is clearly class struggle! The fake schools that kill people are the root of all tragedies. We need to unite all living forces!"
Zheng Wanqing: "Then the civil war began."
Guo Guo: “…”
The two of them were arguing over a disagreement. At this time, No. 13 had already opened his eyes and woke up. His eyeballs were bloodshot and he looked at Tang Xinjue's calm face.
Tang Xin Jue: "My condolences."
No. 13 suddenly became excited, but she found that her hands were tied to the head of the bed. She couldn't grab Tang Xin Jue, so she could only say viciously: "Did you know something a long time ago? Have you already discussed it with those things in the school and are in cahoots with them?"
Ghosts can easily lose their minds. They are extreme and irritable. When they are angry, they often stop thinking and act out of aggressive instincts.
Tang Xinjue had anticipated this, so she threw down a three-foot-long talisman that froze the entire bed, leaving No. 13 unable to move.
"Maybe this will calm you down a little."
No.13: …She is very calm! She is the calmest among all the students!
She just couldn't accept it for a while...
Through No. 13's gnashing of teeth narration, everyone finally understood why they had just gone crazy.
It turned out that when it recalled the "classmate" who had made the suggestion and successfully convinced them, it wanted to find him, but found that the other person had disappeared.
It wasn't just the ghost that disappeared, but nearly a dozen classmates as well. In the past, because there were so many of them and there was no purpose for the activity, I had never carefully counted the number of people. It was only until now that they couldn't be summoned no matter how hard they tried that I realized something was wrong.
"They couldn't have run away on their own. They are usually very quiet. "
No. 13 gritted his teeth and said angrily: "He must have been kidnapped!"
Being quiet means that one has lost his mind and is in a daze all day long. Even if he is kidnapped, he cannot ask for help.
The ghost in Ou Ruofei's body also opened his eyes, hesitating to speak: "I just asked around, and Xiao Rui said that she remembered that the ghost who gave us advice seemed to have worked in the Student Union before, and had frequent contact with the Academic Affairs Office, so..."
No. 13 asked incredulously: "Such important news, why didn't you tell me before?"
Ou Ruofei said aggrievedly: "I have been in the dark for a long time. I am not used to using my brain. It is normal for it to degenerate."
This time they all awakened and became active because the copy was opened and new people came in.
No. 13 was speechless. His shoulders slumped for a while, and he said dejectedly, "If that person is really a traitor, the missing students were most likely deliberately taken to the Academic Affairs Office."
The Academic Affairs Office cannot defeat the large number of resentful students, but if a student is left alone, they will have an opportunity to take advantage.
"Oruofei" was very anxious: "Aren't they in danger? The Academic Affairs Office is so perverted! We have to find them back quickly!"
"The people in the Academic Affairs Office are better at hiding than thousand-year-old turtles. We are trapped here and can't get out. How can we find them?"
"But……"
"We can help you find it."
Tang Xinjue's voice suddenly interrupted the ghost's conversation.
She pointed at herself, then at the fully-armed examinees next to her, and said, "You said that if we all take over our bodies, we can take revenge on the Academic Affairs Office. This means that we are the variables in this copy, and we are subject to fewer restrictions than you, and we have more freedom of movement."
No. 13 was stunned. "You mean..."
Her expression was strange and suspicious, and she didn't quite believe the promise of the human candidate.
After all, when those people in my school were making promises, they were all more eloquent than the other, but in the end it turned out that they were all lies.
Tang Xin Jue smiled and said, "Have you ever thought about what would happen if you didn't find out there was something wrong with the plan?"
"There are two possibilities. First, you succeed in replacing all of us within three days, and then you happily wait to leave the dungeon, but find that you can't leave at all. At best, you will be trapped here forever, or at worst, you will be wiped out by the punishment of the exam rules."
"Second, you failed to replace us within three days. After three days, the health inspection was over, and we completely lost the chance to pass. We soon became weak and died. You are still trapped here, and you become more and more confused as time goes by. One day, you even forget about revenge."
Listening to Tang Xinjue's words, even though he was clearly no longer human, several ghosts still got goosebumps.
All the hypothetical outcomes point to one ultimate beneficiary: the black-hearted school authorities hiding in the dark.
The school doesn't even have to do anything. They just need to deliberately fail the examination of the candidates and detain them here. They can then wait for the candidates and the student ghosts to fight each other, and then reap the benefits!
An angry voice uttered from the goblin's throat: "The rules favor them!"
"No, the rules are fair, so here we are."
Tang Xin Jue looked directly into the ghost's eyes: "We don't have to be on opposite sides - do the exam rules tell you to kill us? Do the exam rules tell us to fight you?"
"——No, we only received one clear instruction from beginning to end, and that was a health inspection. And the only obstacle to the health inspection was the school."
No. 13 opened his mouth, but didn't know how to refute.
They did indeed actively lock onto the target and launch an attack... without knowing anything.
Tang Xinjue put away the toilet plunger, a turbulent undercurrent hidden in his calm eyes.
"On the contrary, if you are willing to help us, we can break the shackles of the copy and find the hiding place of our common enemy. Revenge for grievances and revenge for vengeances. Only then, perhaps, will you be truly free."
"The reason why this copy exists is based on the balance between the school and you. If the Academic Affairs Office is gone, will it still remain in its current state? Can an incomplete copy still trap you?"
The inherent logic was disassembled one by one, and the final answer made the ghosts a little confused.
It turns out that the freedom they want has never been that complicated?
Even... right in front of us!
No. 13 said in a hoarse voice: "We need to discuss this."
Tang Xin Jue: "I hope it won't take too long."
Five minutes later, the two sides successfully reached a verbal agreement.
Once they figured it out, the student ghosts were almost impatient. They wanted to tear the school apart with their own hands all the time, and now they finally had hope, plus they had new and old hatreds that were used, how could they not be excited?
In order to show their sincerity towards this temporary united front, the ghosts even directly withdrew their control over Ou Ruofei and girl No. 15, but the two were still in a coma and would not wake up for a while.
The ghost who occupied No. 13's body, as the representative of the ghost party, changed her previous sinister attitude and became polite in her speech. When asked her name, she was a little embarrassed:
"I only remember that my last name is Jiang, but I don't remember my specific name, so my classmates usually call me Jiang Bingshang, and sometimes Jiang Canlei."
Everyone: “…”
Guo Guo said faintly: "Now I know how the names Shang Yinghong came about."
Why do all the ghosts in this game have a special liking for Mary Sue names?
"Okay, classmate Jiang." Tang Xinjue nodded and turned back to the topic: "I've looked at all the action ranges you gave, and they are only limited to the underground space belonging to ghosts and the corridor we are in."
"So the place where the school is hiding must have been visited by you and us."
Everyone was silent for two seconds, and said in unison: "919 and 921!"
