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 point for 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 was it that said they could cheat on the exam rules in the first place? It seems...

In places invisible to ordinary people, black air began to surge, as if looking for something.

After several seconds, the two ghosts controlling No. 13 and Oruofei'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 Nos. 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 the ghost students or the ghost teachers, they are all ghosts."

Guo Guo retorted, "Miss, this is clearly class struggle! These fake schools that kill people are the root of all tragedies. We need to unite all living forces!"

Zheng Wanqing: "Then a civil war began."

Guo Guo: “…”

The two of them were arguing with each other because they didn't agree on anything. 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."

Number 13 suddenly became excited, but she found that her hands had been tied to the headboard at some point, making it impossible for her to grab Tang Xin Jue. She could only ask viciously, "Did you guys already know something? Have you already discussed this with those guys at 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 ice talisman, freezing the entire bed and leaving No. 13 unable to move.

"Maybe this will calm you down a little."

No. 13: ...She's very calm! She's the calmest of all the students!

She just couldn't accept it for a while...

Through No. 13's gritted 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 vanished; nearly a dozen classmates had vanished as well. Previously, because there were so many of them and the activity had no purpose, I hadn't carefully counted them. It wasn't until now, when they couldn't be summoned no matter how hard I tried, that I realized something was amiss.

"They couldn't have run away on their own. They're usually very quiet."

Number 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 would not be able to ask for help.

The ghost in Ou Ruofei's body also opened its eyes, hesitant to speak: "I just asked around, and Xiao Rui said she remembered that the ghost who gave us advice seemed to have worked in the Student Union before, and was in frequent contact with the Academic Affairs Office, so..."

No. 13 asked in disbelief, "Such important news, why didn't you tell me before?"

Ou Ruofei said aggrievedly: "I've been in the dark for so long, I'm not used to using my brain, so it's normal for it to degenerate."

This time they all woke up and became active because the dungeon was opened and new people came in.

Number 13 was speechless. After a while, his shoulders slumped and he said dejectedly, "If that person is really a traitor, then 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 the students are alone, they will have an opportunity to take advantage.

Ou Ruofei was extremely anxious: "Aren't they in great danger? The Academic Affairs Office is so perverted! We have to find them quickly!"

"Those people in the Academic Affairs Office are better at hiding than thousand-year-old turtles, and we're stuck here with no way 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 candidates beside her, and said clearly, "You said that if we all took over our bodies, we could take revenge on the Academic Affairs Office. This means that we are the variables in this copy, with fewer restrictions than you and more freedom of movement."

Number 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 confident 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 realize there was something wrong with the plan?"

"There are two possibilities. First, you successfully replace us all within three days, and then, with great joy, you wait to leave the dungeon, only to discover that you are unable to leave. 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 successfully replace us within three days. After three days, the health inspection ended, and we completely lost our chance to pass through. We soon weakened and died. You remained trapped here, becoming increasingly confused as time went by, and one day, you even forgot about revenge."

Listening to Tang Xinjue's words, even though they were 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 enemies—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 the beginning, 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 dungeon and find the hiding place of our common enemy. We will take revenge for our grievances and revenge for our grudges. Only then, perhaps, will you be truly liberated."

"The existence of this copy is based on the balance between the school and you. If the Academic Affairs Office is gone, will it still maintain its current state? Can a broken copy still trap you?"

The inherent logic was dismantled one by one, and the final answer made the ghosts a little confused.

It turns out that the freedom they want has never been so complicated?

Even... right in front of us!

Number 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 demons were almost impatient. They had always wanted to tear the school apart with their own hands, and now that they finally had hope, coupled with the new and old grudges they had been exploited, 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 spoke politely. When asked her name, she was a little embarrassed:

"I only remember that my surname 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 quietly, "Now I know where names like Shang Yinghong came from."

Why do all the ghosts in this game have a special liking for Mary Sue names?

"Okay, Jiang." Tang Xinjue nodded and turned back to the topic: "I've looked at all the ranges of action 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, then said in unison: "919 and 921!"
