The flames spread in the classroom, and dozens of bodies that had already dried and charred seemed to "come back to life" again, struggling and wailing in the flames.
The scene, like that of hell, should be horrifying.
But after reading the title of Tang Xinjue's review, and looking at the scene before them, the first thought that came to Zhang You and the other two people's minds was:
This argument actually makes sense?
If there were sufficient fire-fighting equipment and escape tools in the classroom, or if there was an alarm to automatically extinguish the fire in the first place, perhaps the tragedy of the entire class being wiped out would not have happened.
Of course, if reality really goes like this, the movie can be directly transferred from a horror film to a safe and legal channel, and at the end of the decadent and violent plot, it contains a trace of positive energy that shocks the soul.
Ghosts: “…”
After seeing what Tang Xin Jue wrote, their already distorted facial features became even more distorted, and they even forgot to move when there was interference from outside the field.
Of course, the ghosts don't come here just to watch... As long as the candidates write their reviews from any angle of the plot, they will find reasons to mentally pollute them. Whether they can persist in writing the review while their san value drops sharply depends on the candidates' ability.
But now, even Feng Wan, who was already hanging over the heads of several people, moved her lips twice, but had not figured out how to start speaking.
Zhao Mingtao, who was burned to death, silently withdrew his hand, and a pile of black residue fell from his arm.
...That's not right. They were the ones who died tragically and turned into evil spirits, so why do they act like they're in the wrong?
During the strange stalemate, the temperature in the classroom continued to rise. Even though the flames did not burn many living people, the burning and cracking sensation of the skin became more and more obvious.
"If this continues, we might all be roasted to death here before the countdown ends."
Zhang You took off his clothes, tied the clothes of the four people together, and stood in front of them.
Guo Guo's eyes had just been accidentally burned by the fire, and now she couldn't open them at all due to tears. However, she felt unsafe if she hid far away, so she could only hide next to Tang Xinjue and remind him, "Be careful not to let your clothes get burned!"
Tang Xinjue was writing furiously, but it was impossible to finish the 800-word requirement in an instant, so the few of them could only hold on, not to mention the ghosts who were eyeing them covetously, making it even more suffocating.
As the swish of the pen stopped, Tang Xinjue wiped the sweat from his eyelashes and raised his head: "This won't work. The words on the paper will melt."
Moreover, the increasingly thin air and excessive heat will also affect people's thinking.
"Hehe, then don't write anymore..." Sun Qian's sharp laughter suddenly rang out. She lay facedown against the wall, half of her body stretched out, her bright red lips stretched wide. "Stay here forever, walk towards death, and you will never feel pain. Become our classmate!"
Several people: ...I must have been so heartless in my previous life that I am unlucky enough to be classmates with you in this life!
Tang Xinjue was silent for two seconds, then turned his head and looked back, his gaze falling on these ghosts.
Then she suddenly said, "Aren't you hot?"
Ghosts: “???”
They slowly stared at me with a look that said, "You've finally been roasted silly." But the girl nodded and muttered to herself, "You are ghosts. The cold air on your body won't dissipate for a long time, so of course you won't feel hot."
Nonsense. Guiguai didn't understand what she was saying, but he saw that after Tang Xinjue finished speaking, the other roommates slowly turned their heads, their eyes looking strange.
Tang Xin Jue stood up and turned to the ghosts, "While I'm writing my review, the rules shouldn't allow you to attack me directly, right?"
Feng Wan twisted her body and sneered, "We didn't attack you, we just...wait, what are you doing?"
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Tang Xin Jue took three steps at a time and dove into the crowd of ghosts and monsters. He breathed a sigh of relief, "It's really cold."
Then she sat down again, using Sun Qian's drooping hair as a barrier to isolate herself from the fire scene, and continued to write her review. By the way, she said to Zhao Mingtao next to her: "Move away, you're blocking the light."
Ghosts who are directly used as tools: ...
"ah!!"
Feng Wan and Zhao Mingtao screamed and reached out to grab Tang Xinjue in a frenzy.
The toilet plunger swung out heavily, blocking the four pale arms. Tang Xinjue looked up with a faint smile: "Has anyone ever told you that you get irritated easily?"
Ghosts are born out of resentment and hatred, and most of their instincts outweigh their reason, not to mention that this group of ghost NPCs have just "experienced" their own death scenes and are full of resentment.
The two ghosts' faces changed. The female ghost withdrew her hand in time, but Zhao Mingtao was too fast and didn't catch up. The toilet plunger suddenly disappeared from Tang Xinjue's hand, and the sharp knife in Zhao Mingtao's hand embedded into her arm without any hindrance, and blood gushed out.
The attack was implemented and judged to be successful.
Before the punishment of the rules came down, a golden light emerged from Tang Xinjue's body and covered Zhao Mingtao.
A shrill scream burst out from the golden light, and Zhao Mingtao's ghost form melted rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!
From the body, neck, hair, to the face, the ghost struggled violently and turned into a blurry human figure. The screams were more real and miserable than those of the "classmates" in the fire.
The other ghosts retreated instinctively. At this moment, the classroom environment changed again. The walls turned into scorched earth, dreamlike murmurs were heard, the wooden door swayed slightly, and the burning fire became more intense.
The "students"' faces suddenly changed color, their already pale faces turning even more pale. They scattered in fear, clinging to the wall, and no one came to Zhao Mingtao's aid.
The screams gradually faded away, and as the golden light weakened and dissipated, "Zhao Mingtao" completely turned into a shadow, and at the last second before he collapsed, the toilet plunger hit his head again.
Tang Xin Jue uttered a single word: "Eat."
A suction force came from the rubber head, and the shadow was sucked into the toilet plunger little by little, from fast to slow until it completely disappeared, and the toilet plunger spit out a few strands of hair.
A flash of light passed by, and the skull logo on the handle changed from one to two.
[Successfully swallowed, has inherited the attribute "scream."]
Tang Xin Jue: "Cover your ears!"
The next moment, the rubber head shrank, then shook violently, and a deafening inhuman scream burst out from the rubber head, spreading like a loudspeaker, lingering in the classroom for a long time.
Fortunately, Guo Guo and the other two were reminded and covered their ears in advance. Even so, they still felt a buzzing in their heads.
[Ghost Scream: Indiscriminate sonic attack on all living things, with mental pollution effect]
[Ghost's Blade: The sharpness is greatly increased, and it can fight head-on with a knife]
As the screams erupted, the raging fire facing the toilet plunger was also forced back, and then flickered a few times before strangely calming down.
The student ghosts remained motionless, as if they wished to disappear right then and there.
Tang Xinjue, who was still writing his review, stopped again and looked forward.
A figure walked out of the flames, and the charred skin quickly closed up in the flames, turning into a complete short-haired girl.
It was Li Xiaoyu who had never appeared.
Without caring about anyone else, Li Xiaoyu walked straight towards Tang Xinjue with a bright smile on her face, which was completely different from the timid and gloomy appearance in the movie.
"Is my laptop working?" she asked briskly.
After just a glance, Tang Xinjue continued writing with his head down, "Not bad."
Li Xiaoyu walked over and sat down beside her intimately, looking at the notebook with eyes full of curiosity. They didn't look like cruel and malicious ghosts, but more like two ordinary people.
After watching for a while, she asked, "What does an advanced automatic alarm look like?"
Tang Xin Jue said succinctly: "Call the police, spray water, open the door."
Li Xiaoyu: "If I cut off the power to the classroom, will the alarm still work?"
Tang Xin Jue: "Built-in lithium battery."
"Oh—" Li Xiaoyu dragged out the last word and asked with a smile, "What if I destroyed the alarm in advance?"
Tang Xin Jue didn't even look up. "Special circumstances don't count towards the general situation. 800 words isn't enough to cover that much. If you'd like to discuss further, you can write a review and submit it with me."
After saying that, she even tore off a page of paper considerately: "Or?"
Li Xiaoyu: “…”
Li Xiaoyu finally stopped talking. She sat quietly against the wall and waved her hand lightly. The other student ghosts immediately rushed into the fire as if they had been pardoned.
"What a pity! If only I had known you when I was still human."
Li Xiaoyu said softly: "We must be very suitable to be classmates, don't you think?"
Seeing that Tang Xin Jue didn't respond, she giggled again, leaned in and whispered, "You're perfect for our world...don't you think?"
"What's so good about the human world? It's old-fashioned, boring, and there's only one set of rigid rules to judge everything. Your efforts won't be rewarded accordingly. No matter how hard you try... in the eyes of others, you're just a mentally ill lunatic, right?"
When he spoke the last few words, his voice was so cold that it seemed as if it was quenched with ice, sending chills down one's spine.
Tang Xin Jue finally stopped writing, turned around, and met the nearby ghost with a calm gaze. His voice was also very soft:
"I have seen your world countless times."
She had heard the same whispers, brainwashing, threats and inducements countless times, which made her give up reality and fall into darkness.
"But every day after I open my eyes, I only want to say one thing." She nodded at Li Xiaoyu, her lips curled up:
"none of your business."
It is not up to others to tell her what she wants to do or what kind of life she wants to live.
Similarly, other people's lives, whether they fall into depravity or become ghosts—
"None of my business."
Of course, if her friends and family were hurt, that was her business—and the mark Zhao Mingtao left on the toilet plunger said something about that.
Under the other person's cold gaze, Tang Xinjue put down his pen, stood up, and held up his notebook: "I've finished writing my review."
Eight hundred words, not a single word wrong.
[Ding Dong, review submitted, currently being reviewed...]
The ghost in the flames stopped screaming and struggling, and at the same time made a "turning head" gesture, looking at everyone motionlessly.
[The students' reviews will be graded by all members of Class 3-1!]
