Objects were swept down, metal hit the ground, and the harsh friction sound of the wooden table being dragged was heard at the same time, declaring the anger of the black shadow.

Tang Xinjue calmly held the toilet plunger, focusing all his attention on the black shadow.

After her hysterical screams, "Xiao Hong" asked grimly, "Did you deliberately trick me so that I couldn't find my things and made a fool of myself on the date?"

The lines were exactly the same as those in the diary, and Tang Xinjue had even thought of the following words in his mind.

Sure enough, "You bitches, I'm going to punish you!!!"

I don't know if it was an illusion, but as Xiaohong screamed, the ghost seemed to grow longer and longer, its hair hanging down to its feet and covering its thin arms. Its body soon became hunched from its excessive length, and its head turned stiffly.

"I want you to..."

As if it was unbearable, the bed opposite suddenly shook heavily, and Zheng Wanqing's anxious voice rang out: "We didn't lie to you!"

Oops.

Tang Xinjue's heart suddenly sank, but it was too late to stop him. In the dim light, he could even see Zheng Wanqing half-sitting up from the bed, staring blankly at Xiaohong: "We've put everything we found on the table!"

Xiao Hong paused, her hoarse voice stretched out, and her previous rage was replaced by a strange tone: "Oh, really..."

The lanky figure turned and stepped closer to bed number 2, his neck stretched forward impatiently, his hair hanging in the air. "Dear roommate, are you talking to me?"

The shadow was clearly two meters away, but the sound was right next to his ear. Tang Xinjue felt a pain in his throat, and a sweet and fishy taste surged up.

"Dear roommate, did you hear me?"

As soon as he swallowed the fishy taste, a sharp pain spread from the inner ear canal, and his ear suddenly buzzed. Tang Xinjue frowned, knowing that the ghost's attack was triggered by his roommate.

At this moment, the black shadow had moved to the front of bed number 2, with half of its body pressed against the curtain. She knew without thinking that the pale and hideous face was staring at Zheng Wanqing without blinking.

"Dear roommate, did you see my face?"

Before the pain in his eyeballs could erupt, Tang Xinjue suddenly raised the toilet plunger and hit the bed railing hard.

With a "dong" sound, Xiaohong's voice was successfully interrupted and its attention was attracted.

The footsteps turned and began to move towards Tang Xinjue. The giggling became clearer and clearer, and soon it was close.

Tang Xin Jue said quietly, "Do you really want to find something to go on a date with? I think you seem quite happy that you couldn't find anything."

Xiaohong: “…”

The ghost's movements and laughter paused at the same time. After several seconds, he said coldly, "Of course I have to go on a date, but I can't go without finding something. It's all your fault!"

Tang Xin Jue: "What do you want to do to us?"

Xiao Hong clung to the bed curtains, her voice filled with greed that couldn't be concealed: "Either give me the thing, or, like your missing roommate, be punished..."

Tang Xin Jue: "Zhang You? What did you do to her?"

"She will never appear again, just like your ending." Xiaohong tilted her head, and when she spoke, something like a tongue seemed to stick out and drag on the gauze curtain, making a sticky and disgusting sound.

"Dear roommate, why don't you open your eyes and look at me?"

From the moment she approached, Tang Xinjue closed his eyes tightly, relying only on his ears to identify her movements and position. "I kept my eyes open the whole time."

Xiaohong: "Oh... really?"

It rubbed and moved suspiciously on the screen, "You're lying! You didn't even open your eyes!"

"I really have my eyes open. Is it too dark outside the bed curtains that you can't see clearly?"

Tang Xinjue's tone was firm.

Her voice is just like her appearance, thin and delicate, sounding soft, harmless and sincere.

Xiao Hong actually lay on the bed curtains and looked carefully. After a while, she flew into a rage: "Liar!!!"

Tang Xinjue had become numb to its deafening screams. In fact, the more furious it became, the calmer it became.

She had already confirmed one thing: Xiaohong could not get in through the bed curtains.

For two consecutive nights, it just lay outside, looking like it was trying to kill people face to face, but in fact, there was a layer of gauze between them, and it never had any actual contact with people.

——The dormitory door is a layer of protection, and so is the bed curtain.

Even ghosts are most likely to be subject to conditions. As long as they are not bewitched and go out, the attacks they receive inside will be limited, and they will mostly be mental pollution.

Tang Xinjue remained calm about the common scenes in his nightmares and did not feel that he had been contaminated in any way.

She remained motionless, feigning death. Xiaohong felt increasingly teased, and so enraged that she buried half her body in the bed curtains, scratching them with her nails as if ready to rip them apart at any moment. After a long while, realizing her impotent rage, she calmed down and tried to coax Tang Xinjue into speaking.

Tang Xinjue remained motionless, as if asleep.

Xiaohong: "...Ah!! Go to hell!!!"

Amidst another round of screams, Tang Xinjue suddenly took out his cell phone from under the quilt and glanced down.

Xiaohong: "...You still have the mind to play with your phone!??"

Putting down the phone, Tang Xinjue suddenly said, "One more minute."

Xiaohong subconsciously asked: "What?"

Tang Xin Jue: "One minute left, it will be eight o'clock in the morning, dawn time."

The time displayed on the phone was 7:35. Based on my senses and time calculations at night, the speed of time should be 24 times faster. Xiaohong can only appear at night and will leave after dawn.

"This is a dormitory etiquette test. You're also a member of the dormitory and will be subject to the same restrictions as the rest of us." Tang Xinjue said softly, "By the way, your date tonight is off again."

Xiaohong: “…”

Kill the ghost and destroy the heart???

It finally straightened its noodle-like body and looked directly at the human for the first time, its voice cold and hoarse.

"Tomorrow is the deadline. If you don't give me what I want tomorrow, you'll all be left in the test and become the same as me. Hehe, I'll be waiting for you..."

The sound disappeared, the lights came on, Tang Xinjue opened his eyes and immediately checked the condition of Zheng Wanqing and Guo Guo.

Guo Guo stretched out a finger from under the quilt to prove that she was still alive, but Zheng Wanqing was motionless. There was a big bulge on the bed. When she lifted the quilt, she saw the girl curled up inside, her face ashen, and blood oozing from her ears and mouth.

"Wanqing!"

Tang Xin Jue immediately opened the other person's phone and saw the negative status:

[Unbearable Communication Health -30]

Another message popped up immediately after the negative state:

[Achievement: Deceived Prey. Neutral Buff (Short-term): Reaction -5, Stamina +2, Stamina Limit +1]

[Buff effect: short-term coma]

Tang Xinjue's heart relaxed slightly. If Wanqing was unconscious because of the Buff, then the situation was not the worst.

She opened her [Identity Information] and saw a new reminder:

[Communication health value out of limit -2]

[Achievement: Angry NPC. Positive Buff (Short-term): Reaction +5, Reaction Limit +2]

Click on the achievement again, and an explanation pops up on the screen:

[You never thought about it! If the NPC knew that being pissed off and screaming would earn you more achievements, it would never come looking for you.]

Tang Xin Jue: "..."

At this moment, Guo Guo on the bed next to him screamed in fear: "My face! Help, my face!"
