In this session of the Metaphysics Grand Competition, several senior brothers from the Xingyi Sect were injured due to previous accidents, leaving only one healthy Ju Jingbai.
The surrounding...
"Let's get to know each other first. My name is Song Qimeng, and I'm from the Qingxin Cult." The heavily made-up girl said with a smile, stepping forward and taking Ju Jingbai's arm. "I know you, Ju Jingbai from the Xingyi Cult. I've seen your livestream. A fangirl of mine sent it to me, and she even voted for you."
"Hello." Ju Jingbai greeted with a smile.
"I also know you, Xu Ge from the Xu family. You are the champion of the Great Upper Realm Metaphysics Competition. I have heard the senior brothers in the sect analyze you." Song Qimeng said with a smile.
"And Yanrong, I saw you too when I was watching Ju Jingbai's live broadcast." Song Qimeng mentioned Yanrong's name, then turned her gaze to the skinny boy and asked, "Little brother, what's your name?"
"My name is Wang Yu, the Yu in the Earth Realm." Wang Yu introduced himself. "You heard about this test before entering the virtual realm, right? Perhaps there will be things we fear in this competition. If you notice anything, be sure to pay attention. Because of family reasons, I'm particularly afraid of exams. I even had to take a leave of absence for a while because of it. I just noticed the time for the college entrance examination on the classroom screen, and it's exactly the same time I was suspended."
Wang Yu's expression wasn't fake; cold sweat broke out on his forehead. "During the exam, I applied a calming talisman to myself, and that's when I finally felt calm."
"You're probably right. I've also encountered situations I don't like." Xu Ge nodded. "There's too little information right now. Let's go eat first."
"What about these gifts?" Yan Rong asked.
"Yeah, what about these gifts?"
"I have a solution." Xu Ge looked around and saw the security guard at the gate not far away. He walked over with a bunch of gifts.
Ju Jingbai watched Xu Ge smile and give all the gifts to the security guard. It was obvious from his skilled look that he had done this more than once.
"Xiaobai, are you sharing the same dormitory with me? I'm in 404." Song Qimeng said.
"I'm in Room 414." Ju Jingbai took out the dormitory key with a sticker of the dormitory number on it.
After Xu Ge finished dealing with the gifts, Ju Jingbai suggested taking a walk around the campus and finally going to the cafeteria.
As soon as they entered the cafeteria, someone called them. To be precise, it was not them, but Xu Ge.
"Xu Ge, come and eat. My brother and I have just finished eating. You can sit here with me."
"Okay, thank you." Xu Ge said with a smile.
"What are you thanking me for? I'm counting on you to help me with my studies. It's my duty. Go order some food. The crystal pork elbow we made today is especially delicious." The boy patted Xu Ge's shoulder familiarly. A group of boys gave up their seats, wiped the table, and walked away laughing.
"Not only girls, boss, you are also popular among boys." Ju Jingbai sighed, but sensitively felt that Xu Ge was not very happy at the moment.
"This is too much of an envy. No one cares about me." Yan Rong muttered.
Ju Jingbai finished his dinner quietly and chatted for a while.
The sky outside gradually darkened, but the number of students staying in the cafeteria did not decrease. Even now, at around 7:30, there were still students walking into the cafeteria.
Ju Jingbai frowned. Such a scene was impossible to see in Haicheng University, let alone her high school. In high school, she wanted to use every minute and every second. Every time she ate, it was as if someone was chasing her from behind. She ate so quickly.
This lively scene continued until nine o'clock, when a bell rang outside the school. The cafeteria suddenly fell silent for a moment, as if a button had been hit. The next second, all the students stood up and walked out of the cafeteria in an orderly and swift manner.
Ju Jingbai stood up, looked in the direction, and guessed: "They are going back to the dormitory. This bell may mean that the dormitory is about to close. Let's go back to the dormitory too."
"Okay." Xu Ge and the others responded and followed the crowd out.
"Hurry up, run quickly, I will close the door at 9:05, and I will not let anyone outside the dormitory in." The dormitory manager was an aunt in her sixties. Her face was full of wrinkles, and her facial features showed that she was a mean person who would die early and had bad luck.
Just before the iron door of the dormitory closed, Ju Jingbai hugged the exhausted Song Qimeng and carried her into the dormitory building.
"Xiaobai, I'm a person who pays a lot of attention to physiognomy. As soon as I arrived, I calculated the face of Teacher Song, the invigilator today. She has the appearance of a person with little luck and a face that indicates she will die in middle age." Song Qimeng took a deep breath, tucked her curls away from her ears, and a hint of nervousness appeared on her beautiful face. As if returning the favor, she whispered in Ju Jingbai's ear, "The female teacher who helped Xu Ge out also has the appearance of a person who will die young, and so does this dorm supervisor, and coincidentally, these students around here."
"Got it." Ju Jingbai nodded seriously and followed the students upstairs, saying as he walked, "If you encounter any major problems that you can't solve, you can come find me upstairs and we can discuss it. Similarly, if I encounter any problems in the dormitory, I will also come to you."
"Okay, I have no objection." Song Qimeng said with a smile, "Then I'll go into the dormitory."
Ju Jingbai nodded and walked towards the end of the corridor. Dormitory 414 was next to the public toilet at the end of the corridor.
The dormitory was an eight-person room. When she opened the door, the other seven people were already sitting on their beds. When they saw Ju Jingbai coming back, someone greeted him with a smile.
Ju Jingbai followed the actions of a roommate next to him and brushed his teeth, washed his face, and changed into the plaid pajamas in the closet.
"I heard the teachers have already graded the test papers for this afternoon, and Bai Ling is the last one."
"Wasn't he still down ten last time? Why did he drop so much again?"
"Who knows? It might be a psychological problem. I heard that he even took the risk of cheating this time."
"It's so unlucky! He used to be the second best student in our class, besides Xu Ge. Now I'm second, and I'm so scared that I'll end up like him. I asked Bai Ling why his grades dropped so much all of a sudden, but he couldn't explain it."
"He wasn't this fat before, and he was very lively. He's become more and more introverted recently, not saying a word for a long time. Speaking of which, only Xu Ge has been ranked first for three consecutive years. It's amazing." "That's right, Xu Ge is my idol."
"Stop chatting, it's time to turn off the lights." The voices of the people next to me could be heard chatting.
"Can I ask why you all stayed in the cafeteria until the dormitory bell rang?"
"You've been here for three years, and you don't know? The dormitories are patrolled by teachers. You have to obey the rules as long as you're inside," someone muttered. "Just talking loudly gets you taken to the counseling room. Who could stand that? Besides, who comes out of there without a drop in academic performance?"
When the lights went out, the voices disappeared.
Ju Jingbai closed his eyes and sorted out today's events. The more he analyzed, the clearer his mind became.
After more than twenty minutes, she suddenly heard the sound of high heels stepping on the ground outside.
This must be the patrol teacher the girl just mentioned, but patrolling in high heels?? Is that crazy?
Ju Jingbai's mind became clearer.
However, why is the sound of high heels stepping on marble so strange? It's a thudding sound, and it feels like the top is heavy and the feet are light.
It's like the heels are in front and the toes are behind.
Ju Jingbai couldn't stand it anymore and sat up. When she turned around, she found that the girl on the opposite bed was looking at her with her eyes open.
When Ju Jingbai looked over, the girl met her gaze, dodged and closed her eyes.
At this time, the messages in Ju Jingbai's live broadcast room were refreshing rapidly.
"What's going on here? This virtual experience is completely different. I've watched several live broadcasts and come back again. I found that the school here has the strongest sense of immersion. It gave me chills, but it was also a bit refreshing."
"That's right, it doesn't look like there's anything scary happening."
"College entrance exam season is a nightmare that everyone has to go through, but when I look back on it now, I think they are all good memories."
"A terrifying scene appeared immediately. I just came out of Song Qimeng's livestream. It seems she had a dispute with some students, and they kicked them out of the dormitory. I saw the teacher patrolling the corridor. She was wearing a long red dress and red high heels. It was a ghost! The ghost in this virtual world has finally appeared..."
"Knock knock, Xiaobai, I'm at the door of your dormitory, open the door for me." Song Qi dreamed that the dormitory supervisor in a red skirt walked away, so she hurriedly knocked on Ju Jingbai's door. It was not that she didn't want to use her mobile phone, but after turning off the lights, the mobile phone signal in this dormitory building disappeared.
Ju Jingbai got up and lit a cat's eye talisman. Through the cat's eye, he saw the person knocking on the door. It was indeed Song Qimeng.
Behind Song Qimeng, a woman in a red dress appeared at some point.
Ju Jingbai's heart trembled, and a familiar feeling of fear suddenly swept over his body.
“Oh my god!”
Ju Jingbai mustered up his courage, opened the door and pulled Song Qimeng into the dormitory. When he looked up, he saw the woman's figure, his legs shaking before he could show his fear.
The woman in front of him had already taken three steps back in fear, as if she had seen something incredible.
She trembled a little, put the flashlight in her hand on the marble floor, indicating that it should be left to Ju Jingbai, and then ran away in her high heels with a thud.
Ju Jingbai: "..."
She squinted her eyes and looked at the female teacher who was running away. She was clearly running with her back to her, but the toes of her high heels were clearly pointing in her direction.
