The candidates were certain that they had walked around the nine floors and had never seen the red door.
It seemed to appear out of thin air, strangely abrupt and yet strangely blending into the corridor.
Tang Xin Jue: "We followed the ghosts' footsteps this time, so what we saw were naturally what they found."
It was similar to her previous guess. A living person would probably not be able to find this place even if they turned the dormitory building upside down - only ghosts can find ghosts.
Zheng Wanqing's eyes were burning: "Open the door? The girls' dormitory has already gone in!"
Their fellow ghosts have already taken the lead, so naturally they cannot fall behind.
Zhang You, however, did not recommend any rash advances: "What if the Academic Affairs Office sets an ambush for us here again?"
Now has come to the most critical moment, and they have little remaining strength and cannot withstand any Waterloo or sudden changes like a red line cut.
Zheng Wanqing: "Then what are we doing, just waiting here?"
Everyone looked at each other, and when they finally found the Academic Affairs Office, they were a little unsure of what to do.
Tang Xin Jue reminded: "Look at our wounds."
Only then did they remember the red line cuts that had been ignored for half a day. When they removed the gauze, they saw that they had continued to mutate to varying degrees. Except for the three people No. 5, the most serious ones were Ke Ke and Guo Guo. Red lines could even be seen in them.
Guo Guo's face turned pale: "Am I going to die?"
"We won't die for the time being, if we can pass the level before it attacks." Tang Xinjue gave the answer.
Jiang Lan sighed: "If we wait here, the speed of clearing the level will depend on the progress of the female ghosts, or in other words, it will be left to fate."
Ke Ke snorted coldly: "I still choose to struggle for the last period of my life. At least I want to know what the boss who killed me looks like, rather than dying here in obscurity."
No. 7: "I want to go in too. I don't like waiting."
She paused, then said to the still hesitant Ou Ruofei, "Don't go in. It won't do anything and will only add to the danger."
Ou Ruofei: "..."
Although it is the truth, it still hurts my heart QWQ
Unexpectedly, the next second, No. 7 threw his own knife over. "It can hurt ghosts and monsters, and it can also provide some protection when necessary. If you wait at the door with it, it can reduce a lot of danger... At least it should be safer than going in."
Ou Ruofei was stunned. She held the knife in her hand in a daze. She never expected that No. 7 would give her such an important weapon.
It was obvious that when they first entered the dungeon, No. 7's attitude towards her was the worst, just like Keke's. She once thought that she was too useless and that was why No. 7 hated her. She never thought that she would get the other party's unremitting help at the critical moment.
Number 7 wrapped some gauze around her waist and pulled out a few ordinary daggers. She didn't turn around to see Ou Ruofei's expression, but said stiffly, "There were originally six people in my dormitory."
"I don't like them very much. They're like you, stupid and dumb, unable to think of the worst in others. They can't even see through the lies of ghosts, and they always like to play the role of saints and take the blame for others."
"They failed both exams."
Number 7 gritted his teeth and continued in a muffled voice, "I don't like them, but I don't dare dream every day. I don't want to dream about them leaving one by one. Every day I hope time can go back, I hope I can become stronger and live forever, until I find a way to bring them back."
Ou Ruofei sniffed and said, "I understand you. Every day when I sleep alone in the dormitory, I always think of the moment before my roommate disappeared, and I feel scared and uncomfortable..."
"So just live on. Learn to protect yourself so you can protect others. And remember, only by living can you change everything."
7 After getting ready, he walked to the front of the team and never looked back.
The final result was quickly decided. The four people in Dormitory No. 11 and Ou Ruofei chose not to enter the door, while the rest decided to enter the door and fight for what might happen inside.
Tang Xin Jue grasped the door handle: "So, are you ready?"
Guo Guo touched his head and whispered, "If we clear the level, can I buy myself a bottle of hair growth water in the mall?"
Her roommates replied, “Everything.”
"Okay, then I'm ready too!"
Guo Guo gritted his teeth, held the pendant on his chest, and faced the opened red door.
The red door opened, and inside was another black door. The space in the middle was just big enough for them.
Not sensing any other danger, Tang Xinjue walked to the black door again and pressed the handle.
Guo Guo bit her lower lip hard. She had prepared herself for the worst, but she was still stunned for a moment when she saw the scene inside the door.
Inside the door was a square room. There were no ferocious monsters or eerie corpses - there was only a wooden table in the middle of the room and a skinny woman sitting behind it.
The woman looked up at them, seemingly unsurprised. She simply extended her hand and waved, motioning them to come in quickly. "Come and sign."
"Sign?" Tang Xinjue repeated these two words.
"Yes." The woman looked up impatiently and looked them over again. "Yes, it's you guys. Come over here and sign, then collect your luggage and you can start school."
Enrollment?
No one moved, not knowing who this normal-looking woman was and what she was up to.
Guo Guo stared blankly at the woman, then suddenly remembered something. He hurriedly said to Tang Xin Jue in his mind, "Jue Shen! Do you think she looks like the one in the memory fragment..."
Tang Xin Jue added the following words: "The woman standing at the door of 917 before being swallowed by the black fog was the dean of this school."
Guo Guo took a breath and said, "That's right!"
The dean of studies only appeared for a few brief moments in the memory fragment. The skinny woman in black criticized and ordered the freshmen harshly. Even though it was not their own memory, they could feel the fear rooted in the students' hearts through the scene, which left a very deep impression on Guo Guo.
Of course, the students who died here probably wouldn't be afraid anymore when they found her.
Undoubtedly, this woman was one of the culprits responsible for the deaths of countless students, and the primary target of revenge for the student goblins. Now, she sat here seemingly unharmed, while the female goblins who had just rushed through the red door were nowhere to be found, causing everyone's heart to race.
Standing at the door all the time was no solution, so Tang Xinjue walked in first. She looked around and saw a banner hanging on the wall opposite the door that read "Welcome 2021 New Students".
She realized, "Is this the admissions office or the registration office?"
The Dean of Academic Affairs stared at her, a dry smile playing on his lips. "You're very smart, kid. This is the enrollment registration office. Everyone who enrolls needs to register here, including you."
Ke Ke folded her arms and sneered from behind: "What are you doing, role-playing? You want us to play house with you?"
The Dean of Academic Affairs' face changed drastically, and he glared at her fiercely, "Don't talk to the teacher in that manner. You don't behave like a student at all!"
Ke Ke refused to cooperate. "If I'd met a fool like you as a teacher in college, I'd have torn up my acceptance letter and repeated my senior year. Let me see, is this how you trick freshmen into enrolling? If fraud gangs also had consumer associations, you'd be able to go on the 315th anti-counterfeiting campaign, but this is it? Who gave you the confidence to pretend to be a teacher here? When you divided the spoils, didn't you have enough money to buy some zinc gluconate to replenish your brains?"
The girl spoke at a rapid pace, her words piercing the other person's lungs. The skinny woman's face turned black, then blue, then black again. Finally, she flew into a rage and slammed the table, "You are the worst class of students I have ever seen!"
Keke: "Really? I don't believe it unless you call out the students from previous classes and let me see."
Dean of Academic Affairs: “…”
Unable to argue with Keke, she vented her anger on the others, starting with Tang Xinjue, who was closest to her. "You, come here and take all these forms! You have to copy 30 application forms today, and you're not allowed to eat in the cafeteria until you finish!"
Tang Xinjue used his excellent eyesight to glance at the papers on the desk and smiled. "Application form, guarantee letter, disclaimer, school rules and disciplinary documents... Oh, and a crude deception. Do you really think that this thing, which is not even basic illusion and mental manipulation, can control us?"
"A trick that even those with a bit of determination are immune to has actually been used as a method of attack. It seems that the Academic Affairs Office has truly reached the end of its rope and has run out of tricks."
After saying that, she waved her hand, and her mental power rushed straight in, directly tearing apart the magic covering the paper.
After being humiliated and then mocked, the Dean of Academic Affairs said: "..."
Her drawn-out face began to twitch, her chest rising and falling rapidly, making it almost impossible to maintain her expression. After a long pause, she managed to utter through gritted teeth, "No matter what, you are all students of our school now. You must abide by the school rules..."
The Dean of Academic Affairs took out a stack of contracts from under the table and slammed them down on the table.
Everyone looked closely and saw that the contract clearly stated "Exchange Student Guarantee Letter", and at the end of the contract, everyone's real name was signed.
Tang Xinjue raised his eyebrows: "So this is your ultimate reliance."
The identity of exchange students experiencing a new school is the identity set for them by the exam.
Under normal circumstances, background identity generally does not play a crucial role for candidates, and both negative and positive impacts are very limited.
However, the NPC from the Academic Affairs Office this time was obviously very cunning. I don’t know what method they used, but they actually got a batch of guarantees in a proper manner. I just don’t know what specific restrictions these contracts will impose on them.
The Dean of Academic Affairs looked at everyone's expressions, his arrogant sneer returning to his face. He grabbed a letter of guarantee and said, "See? Your names are on it, along with the official seals of our school and yours. From the first day you arrived here, you've been students of our school!"
"Don't you understand yet?" A twisted smile spread across the Dean's face. She tore off the disguised expression, revealing the uncontrollable viciousness in her eyes: "No matter what you do, you can't escape our control. As long as we don't allow you, you can't leave here-"
"Don't waste your time, you'll never get out!"
The Dean of Studies admired the various expressions on everyone's faces, grinning widely. Before he could burst out laughing, Tang Xinjue suddenly stepped forward and said, "Teacher, I noticed something's wrong with your official seal."
The moment he finished speaking, the hammer fell heavily on the table, smashing the entire table into pieces, and the guarantee letter was scattered on the ground.
The Dean of Academic Affairs was knocked against the wall behind him by the impact, holding his chest and coughing non-stop. When he touched the bottom of his nose, he felt blood from the collision, and his face suddenly twisted like a deformed loofah.
Tang Xinjue raised the hammer, but saw that the letter of guarantee on the ground was intact. The paper seemed to be undamaged, and even the words on it were not scratched at all.
The Dean of Academic Affairs, upon seeing this, also burst into laughter and shouted at the top of his voice, "Don't even think about leaving! Even if you tear this place down, you'll be buried with us... cough cough cough!"
Tang Xinjue suddenly approached, scooping her up and flinging her lightly into a corner, where she slid down like a ragbag. Tang Xinjue sneered, "It seems my guess was right. You guys don't have any power at all. The traps you set outside are all you have. Your bodies here are as fragile as ordinary people. Anyone can kill you."
The Dean of Academic Affairs coughed up a mouthful of blood and said fiercely, "Even if you kill me, you won't be able to find a way out. When you completely turn into nutrients, we can also be resurrected. Hehehe..."
"Really?" Tang Xinjue squatted down and looked at her. "So, to let us out, all we need is the approval of the Academic Affairs Office. You have this authority."
"Hehe, that's right, but with your limited abilities, even if you kill me here, I won't sign the letter of consent. This is your fate, stop struggling." The Dean of Academic Affairs, whose face was covered in blood, still laughed perversely, "Before you, others broke in here, and they met the same fate. You'll see them soon. One is a male dormitory, the other is a female dormitory. They just happen to be our school's new students. Hahaha, everything is perfect!"
The woman didn't get to finish her words because there was a loud bang on the wall behind her, as if someone was hitting it hard from the inside.
Catching the slight change in the Dean's expression, Tang Xinjue narrowed his eyes and said, "I'll be able to see them soon, right?"
