As soon as Tang Xinjue finished speaking, the wall shook again. The Dean of Academic Affairs subconsciously shrank his neck, his mouth twitching silently, as if he was cursing something dirty.
Everyone's attention was drawn to the movement behind the wall.
Guo Guo became excited: "Is it Jiang and the others? Are they coming over?"
Tang Xin Jue's eyes flickered slightly: "Judging from the frequency and strength of the collisions, it doesn't seem like the movement of a ghost, but rather... a human."
As for the living people, they are all here. Ou Ruofei and others are outside the door. Then who could be behind the wall facing the door at this moment?
The curse that had just been uttered by the Dean of Academic Affairs resurfaced in their ears. Everyone exchanged glances, and the same thought came to their mind:
"Men's dormitory!"
It was learned from the male ghost that both the boys' and girls' dormitories had become exam copies, and the boys' dormitory's exam started earlier than theirs. Most of the candidates died in the copy, and only a few broke out at the end and disappeared.
Since they hadn't seen any male students in the dormitory yet, the group had almost assumed that they were all wiped out here. But just now, the Dean of Academic Affairs' words seemed to contain another message -
The male dormitory candidate is still here? !
"We misunderstood you just now." Tang Xinjue smiled. "You said we'd see them soon. So this is what you meant. It seems you have some idea of the strength of the Academic Affairs Office."
Dean of Academic Affairs: “…”
That's not what it means!
The skinny woman's eyes bulged as she maintained a sinister demeanor. "Don't dream! Those disobedient students have been locked up in the punishment room for who knows how long. Even if they haven't rotted away, they wouldn't have the strength to walk out. So, are you scared? This is the consequence for you..."
Its intimidation was forced to stop again because this time there was a more obvious tremor coming from behind the wall, and even a faint complex sound could be heard, but no matter how it listened, it was obviously not a girl's voice.
Tang Xin Jue: "The disciplinary room is right next to the admissions office. You guys are quite good at saving space."
The Dean of Academic Affairs' face finally turned completely blue. He turned his head with a force that could have broken his neck, staring at the wall in disbelief. "Impossible... How is this possible?"
"So surprised? Are you just skeptical that the students who took the last exam are still alive? Or are you skeptical that the students taking this exam can survive unscathed? Or are you skeptical that the students you killed can come back for revenge someday—"
As the walls resounded, Tang Xinjue's voice grew clearer and clearer, exposing the truth about the Academic Affairs Office's desperation.
"If the whole school standing before me is a complete entity, it should consist of at least three groups: the Student Union, the Dormitory Management, and the Academic Affairs Office. But now, not only are there no traces of the other two groups, but even the Academic Affairs Office is completely alone."
Disassembling the logic and exposing the inconsistencies, the Dean's veneer of intimidation began to crumble. Even if he continued to scream and curse, it couldn't stop Tang Xinjue from logically drawing the conclusion:
"So, you've got to lure the female ghosts away so they can't find this place, you've got to trap the last wave of candidates, and you've got to take the losses of fighting them. All your available personnel have already been dispatched, and the only one left is the most core and least vulnerable one, right?"
Tang Xinjue had a smile on her face, but the Dean of Academic Affairs standing opposite her couldn't smile.
"I'm going to take you to the punishment room and cut off your mouth piece by piece, so that you will never be able to speak again even as a ghost."
She pointed at Tang Xin Jue and cursed him in a stern voice, as if she was about to pounce on him at the next moment, but every time she was about to touch the hammer, she shuddered and shrank back in fear, and in the end she could only jump on the spot in helplessness and rage, like a shrew yelling in the street.
The ghosts panicked, but the candidates felt relieved.
Many people's tense shoulders relaxed, their eyes gradually brightened, and they realized that success was right before their eyes.
The fastest few people had already sped into action. Number 7's blade was pressed against the Dean's neck, just a hair's breadth away from slicing directly into it. "Stop talking nonsense! Let us out now and we can leave you with a whole body."
Tang Xin Jue stopped her in time: "Don't attack it here, it will probably trigger the final mechanism!"
The Dean of Academic Affairs, Ghost, is a weakling who has no power to resist the examinees, yet he dares to curse and provoke them. He is definitely not relying on the confidence that he can fool the examinees.
No. 7: "So what can we do? Just sit here and wait with this idiot?"
Tang Xin Jue: "Don't worry, the real owner of the copy has been released. They won't last long."
As if in response to what she said, the Dean of Academic Affairs suddenly shook violently, his eyes rolled around in panic, and he kept glancing around the room.
Following its line of sight, I heard a rustling sound coming from the cracks in the ceiling, and then a blue-black hand suddenly grabbed in!
“Chuckle…”
"I found you..."
"Dean of Academic Affairs...Mr. Zhang!"
Countless hands reached down from the ceiling one after another, followed by the shapes of bodies and faces, but there seemed to be a thin membrane preventing them from actually entering.
"There's only one door left..."
"Let's find the entrance..."
"I'm going to set this room on fire... hehe..."
"I found it, I found it!"
The distant voices of the girls' discussions rose and fell, interweaving and mixing through the walls and the ceiling, covering everyone's eardrums and pressing down inch by inch.
If they didn't know the source of these voices, everyone would definitely be nervous. But now that they knew the voices were coming from the ghosts in the female dormitory, the mental pollution effect was not only greatly reduced, but it even made people feel a lot more at ease.
It was another ghost who reacted the most - the Dean of Academic Affairs had been covering his ears and trembling like a sieve. Finally, he screamed in unbearable pain and bumped into the blade of No. 7 before the ghosts in the female dormitory broke through the wall!
Startled, Number 7 immediately withdrew, but it was too late. A thick black liquid gushed out of the Dean's neck. Instead of falling, he let out a strange laugh and retreated to a corner. Drops of black blood fell to the ground, instantly corroding a large stain.
Seeing the familiar black liquid, everyone finally realized why the black liquid had been able to actively attack them. It turned out that the Academic Affairs Office was manipulating their blood?
[Be careful not to touch the corroded ground.]
Tang Xin Jue's voice echoed in the minds of the four people in Dormitory 606. She had just dodged the splatter of black blood, but Number 7 next to her was not spared.
A drop of blood accidentally splashed on No. 7's knife-holding arm. Before she could wipe it off, her feet suddenly sank down - a pair of dark hands suddenly stretched out from the ground and grabbed her ankles tightly!
Crack, crack... Huge blisters swelled up on all the places on the ground that were splashed with black blood. Countless black withered hands stretched out from the broken blisters, searching for prey like a swarm of demons, trying to pull the candidates in the room down.
"Hahaha, let's die together, come and be buried with us!"
The Dean of Academic Affairs smiled like a deranged mental patient, but he was not careless at all. He covered his neck and hid in the corner, fearing that all the blood would flow out, his eyes moving rapidly.
BANG!!
The Dean of Academic Affairs, who was halfway laughing, was knocked away again. A round hole suddenly appeared in the wall behind him with another loud bang, and several unclear figures were revealed in the flying dust.
"Damn, I finally found the place to fight the final boss...huh?"
Taking in the scene inside the room, the boy outside the wall was horrified and exclaimed, "So many bosses???"
