[So far, you have completed all three questions in this exam. Congratulations, candidate Jiang Yuelu! ]

[In addition, you also found two additional questions hidden in the examination room: First, you found the location of the missing girl as promised; second, you presented the original appearance of the girls' high school and the ins and outs of its birth]

[Your grades and scores will be sent to your student card account later, please remember to check before the start of the semester]

[The exam is over, you can wake up now...]

Wake up, wake up.

Continuous calls rang in his ears, but he just couldn't open his eyes. This feeling was very strange, similar to a nightmare, as if something was tied tightly to him and his torso was pressed very heavy.

But it was different from a nightmare. The "ghost" not only pressed on him, but also tried to pass through his body, just like another person's soul was forcibly squeezed into his body, leaving him with nowhere to go and forced to fall and sink...

"call……"

Jiang Yuelu suddenly opened her eyes.

"Are you awake?"

He endured the dizziness and looked to the side. It was a room with good lighting, very suitable for recuperation. Tong Mian, who had not been seen for a long time, was sitting on the hospital bed opposite and playing games. His head and body were wrapped in bandages, with only a pair of eyes showing, shining with joy.

"How do you feel now? Can you accept it? Is there anything you are not used to?"

I couldn't understand any of the series of questions.

Wait... Jiang Yuelu remembered and raised her hand subconsciously.

His body in the examination room was shattered because he could not bear the identity of a "god", so he had no choice but to hide in Yuanchen Palace with the help of Leng Wenhan. This was the only advantage of being a wizard, the body and soul could be separated for a short time.

"When the gods bestowed divine powers upon their followers, they also gave them a small gift," Leng Wenhan explained without emotion at the time.

Therefore, the wizard can leave his body or temporarily lend his body to ghosts.

But, the key point is here. At that time, his body had been completely broken and his blood was cut off. Even if the King of Hell himself came to collect his body, he would have to hold his nose and disdain it. He had already prepared himself to be a wandering ghost.

But now, he tried to raise his hands, no problem. Then he tried to move his feet, very flexible. Finally, he opened his collar and looked down, no scars were seen.

Wait a minute.

Why does his skin look...whiter?

It was white before, but it didn’t seem to be this pale white that looked like a death?

Jiang Yuelu was a little dazed: "Am I not dead?"

Tong Mian: "How could it be! You killed two ghost city masters in a row, and now you are a grassroots hero in the eyes of the freshmen, and the hope for the revival of the wild witches. With a freshman like you who is unparalleled in the limelight, the college is already spoiled, so how could they let you die so easily?"

Jiang Yuelu was speechless: "..."

Based on his limited life experience, a person suddenly having countless titles does not mean that he is going to be lucky, but more likely to be in big trouble.

Especially in this unlucky academy, I don’t know what bad things will happen.

Jiang Yuelu rolled over and got out of bed, walking back and forth in the ward as if nothing had happened. Tong Mian stared at him intently at first, but then he really didn't understand what he meant, so he couldn't help but ask, "You want to find a toilet but you're too embarrassed to ask me?"

"I'm feeling my body. And," Jiang Yuelu glanced at him, "I won't be embarrassed."

"Okay. So how do you feel about that?"

Jiang Yuelu sat down and turned his palm thoughtfully, "This is indeed not my original body, but I didn't notice it when I woke up... How should I put it, it should be very suitable for me."

Tong Mian: "Wow, you can tell that this is not your own body, that's pretty impressive. Your surgery was performed by my uncle himself, normally no one would be able to tell."

Jiang Yuelu: "Surgery?"

Since it was an operation, why did he use the word "host"? He had only heard of performing an operation and presiding over a ceremony, but had never heard of presiding over an operation.

"Ah, sorry, sorry, I forgot you're a freshman and don't know a lot of the inside story." Tong Mian put down the game console awkwardly. The point is, Jiang Yuelu's behavior from beginning to end was too unlike that of a freshman, which made him always forget this.

"I used the word surgery to describe it simply to make it easier for you to understand. You are the so-called wild witches. You come from outside and have never seen the academy." Tong Mian muttered, "Hey, actually I don't like the word wild. You haven't received systematic training, and you haven't been influenced by your family, so you are classified as wild? And in turn, you regard the children who grew up in the academy as domestic witches..."

"I don't like the word 'family' either. It's just as narrow-minded. Why do we have to divide people into two groups? Don't you think it's because of the division that we have a series of disputes and fights... endlessly."

Jiang Yuelu thought of the townspeople in Iron Town who were divided into two towns, north and south, and the two types of people in Snow Village who were distinguished by whether they had moon power or not.

"I agree with you."

Jiang Yuelu said calmly: "But you are off topic, let's get to the point."

"Ah? Oh oh..." Tong Mian showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, "Sorry, I have been holding it in for too long recently... I can't help talking when there is someone around, and I can't stop talking... Where were we talking just now?"

"I use the word surgery to describe it, purely to make it easier for you to understand—" Jiang Yuelu finished reading, "Here."

Not a single word was wrong, even the tone was imitated perfectly... Tong Mian sighed in his heart.

"Yes, the operation is just a concept for your convenience, but it is not called this in the academy. I am used to calling it a ceremony, and some people call it opening a ritual altar. Some old traditionalists call it a ritual."

Seeing his subtle expression, Tong Mian nodded in understanding, "It sounds a bit awkward, right? So most people call it a ritual like me."

"The ritual performed on you was performed by a witch doctor."

"Your spirit is complete, but it has lost its body. Generally speaking, a person's body and spirit are born with each other and are unique. Without either of them, it cannot be called complete. People are made up of these things. In your world, the body dies and becomes rigid, and the spirit rises and leaves the body. It can be said that if what happened to you in the examination room were to happen in your previous world, you know what would happen, right?"

Jiang Yuelu: "I must be dead."

Tong Mian muttered, "So you knew."

"The situation was an exception at that time. If I hadn't done that, all the questions I answered would have been in vain." And if the enemy was not resolved, there would be other ways to die if not this one.

Tong Mian could hear the danger of his experience in the examination hall this time, "Well... before the ghost master came in, the girls' high school was still quite friendly and cute. But this sounds better... hehe."

The bandages all over his body showed that he had bad intentions. Jiang Yuelu thought of Tong Mian's previous attention to the examination room. This person seemed to be like this. The stranger the examination room, the more crazy and persistent he became. I'm afraid he won't have a peaceful life in the next few days...

Tong Mian didn't notice his dark expression, and now that he had something to talk about, he kept talking. If someone opened the door at this moment, they would be surprised to find that the mummy on the bed could actually speak.

"As you can see, the situation where the body dies but the soul remains may not be unsolvable in the academy, but not all witch doctors can preside over a ceremony of your difficulty. Although your soul is still fresh, it is far away from an examination room, and there seems to be another powerful evil resistance."

Jiang Yuelu: “…” He seemed to know what the resistance was.

Fortunately, Tong Mian was talking excitedly and didn't notice his expression. "In short, it is difficult. Very difficult. An ordinary witch doctor can't solve this problem at all."

"But fortunately, the witch doctor you met is my uncle."

"My uncle—"

Seeing the mummy Tongmian raising his hand, the bandages wrapped around his fingers loosened and flew away, a stream of blood spurted in front of Jiang Yuelu. At the same time, the bandage on his head also broke due to excitement. For a moment, blood spurted everywhere on his body.

"He tore through the A-level examination halls and broke into the S-level examination halls. Even the examination halls you see were created by him. My uncle became the vice president of the academy at a young age. He is a genius that only appears once in a hundred years - no! A thousand years! The first time I saw him, I swore that I would..."

Jiang Yuelu couldn't help but said, "Can you speak slower?"

Or just don't say it at all.

You're going to bleed to death...

He felt sorry for Tong Mian, who was getting weaker and weaker due to the continuous bleeding. He felt even more sorry for Tong Mian, who was still shouting with a hoarse voice even though he was in this state.

"...I must become like him..." Tong Mian fell down weakly, "..."

The door of the room was suddenly opened, and a group of people in white clothes came in like a whirlwind and surrounded Tong Mian in an instant. Each of them held a large roll of bandage in their hand, which they tore off and wrapped around the patient who had lost too much blood. For a moment, only white ribbons could be seen flying around.

Jiang Yuelu was silent.

It turned out that his feeling that Tong Mian had gained weight was not an illusion. He had pestered her at least ten times during this period.

"You almost died yesterday because of your rapid heartbeat while playing games. The day before yesterday, you secretly cut your pulse with a fruit knife while peeling fruits. The night before yesterday, you broke your neck while going to the toilet in the dark... I told you to lie down, so why did something happen again???" The person who came in collapsed and yelled while rescuing Tong Mian: "So why is it this time?"

Tong Mian opened his mouth silently: "I just... said a few words."

“…………”

In this chaos, no one noticed a figure in a wheelchair appeared at the door. He was about thirty years old, wearing an elegant and simple black robe with a gold-threaded belt in the middle. Two thin gold chains hung from his frameless glasses. Under the cold white lenses were a pair of pale eyes, which looked quiet and leisurely, in exact contrast to the chaos.

Jiang Yuelu noticed that he was very thin, with a thick black blanket covering his legs, on which lay a yawning black cat, which seemed to have almost merged with the blanket if one didn't look closely.

When he looked at Jiang Yuelu, the cat also looked over.

One person and one cat, both have light golden eyes.

"A-Mian is always too quick to react. I hope I didn't scare you." His voice matched his frail appearance and would break with a little effort. "He is usually quite calm, but when he mentioned the examination room and my uncle, he would be a little..."

Jiang Yuelu: "Indulge yourself a little."

He was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "This is the first time I've heard of this kind of statement, but it's not bad."

Jiang Yuelu didn't care, "My brothers and sisters are much more ferocious than him when they are unbridled."

The man in the wheelchair smiled and nodded. "I am Tong Mian's uncle, the head of this generation of witch doctors. You can call me Vice Dean Tong, or Teacher Tong. I should have come to see you a long time ago, but something delayed me."

The black cat in his arms jumped down, walked towards Jiang Yuelu with elegant cat steps, and then circled around him solemnly.

"You're recovering well."

Then he realized that the black cat was doing a physical examination.

After completing its task, the black cat jumped back onto the blanket and licked its tail lazily. Vice Dean Tong stroked it and said, "By the way, in case you forget the time, it has been three days since you left the examination room."

"Three days?"

Jiang Yuelu glanced at Tong Mian.

Shouldn't such an important thing be told to him the first time he wakes up?

"Can I ask what's going on with my body? After all, you know, I'm going to have to live with it for a long time, and at least I have to know whether I am a human, wood, or paper now."

Vice Dean Tong smiled and said, "Does it bother you that it's wood and paper?"

Jiang Yuelu shook her head, "Not really, but I need to know."

"I understand." Vice Dean Tong pushed his wheelchair out and motioned him to follow. "Don't worry about that. As the old saying goes, you have a little chance. Do you remember the mask you bought at Shop 18?"

Jiang Yuelu's expression changed, "Are you monitoring me?"

"No. I'm sorry if you feel offended, but I didn't mean that." His tone was sincere, and he even stopped his wheelchair, turned around and looked up to talk to him.

"When Wenhan brought you out, your soul was covered by the mask called 'Worship God'. It seemed that it was fused with you and could not be peeled off. The talisman paper and compass you were wearing disintegrated along with your body. Only this mask remained intact."

"The so-called original spirit returning to its master is difficult because it is difficult to find a body that can carry a human soul. I used the "Worship God" mask as a fulcrum for the soul transfer, temporarily keeping your original spirit in your current body. But in the long run, this body only has the face - that is, the mask part. Don't worry about it, the rest is hard to say."

Jiang Yuelu probably understood what he meant.

In other words, finding a body requires good materials, but now only the mask is good material, and the rest are just make-up. Although he looks like he can walk and smile, he is actually like a newly born house, with only the glazed tiles on the top and the rest are cement embryos.

"But you don't have to worry too much. This 'worshiping god' mask was used by a god servant back then. According to some records, the god servant would usually be fully armed during ceremonies, and the whole set of clothes was considered 'worshiping god' clothes. But after the god servant died, the god clothes disappeared. The mask you found at Shop 18 is the first part of it to be seen again."

"We have sent people to look for you. Don't worry, you have made such a great sacrifice for the academy, the academy will not ignore it." As he spoke, the road came to the end and the creaking wheelchair stopped. As if Jiang Yuelu knew what he was going to say, he held his breath involuntarily.

"You're looking for your brothers and sisters. There are three of us, right?"

"The news about them is behind this door."

It was a black iron door with the word "Kong" engraved on it like a spell.

Vice President Tong said, "Go in."

"The dean has been waiting for you for a long time."
