Xiao Jin remained silent.
Just then, Lu Jing's senses were instantly overwhelmed by a bone-chilling cold. His pupils suddenly contracted, and his body, almost instinctively driven, burst forth with astonishing speed, retreating rapidly and leaving a trail of afterimages in his wake.
The shattered blade's edge, cold and swift, whistled through the air like lightning in the dark night, heading straight for Lu Jing. The cold light reflected from the blade almost grazed Lu Jing's side as he dodged.
If he hadn't reacted quickly, his arm would probably have been severed by Xiao Jin.
My heart pounded like a drum, thumping against my chest, each beat accompanied by a surge of adrenaline.
Lu Jing steadied himself, but a playful smile curled at the corner of his mouth, a smile that seemed particularly glaring in the tense atmosphere: "Wow, so ruthless?" His words were casual, but his eyes flashed with a sharp light that could not be underestimated.
Xiao Jin ignored Lu Jing's teasing and stretched out her slender fingers to gently tap the skull on the seat next to her.
This time, Lu Jing didn't cause any more trouble, because Xiao Jin's shadow was always standing beside him.
[Ding—Side quest progress updated—]
The moment Xiao Jin grabbed the skull, he received a system notification that it was indeed Yu Ling's head.
As if sensing Han Chuan and Wu Tianjin's collapse, Xiao Jin stuffed the mission target into the space and looked up at the surrounding ghosts.
Inside the dimly lit room, a chilling wind blew in, as if the air itself had solidified, pressing heavily on everyone's chest.
The ghost students around them slowly gathered in an incredible manner, forming an impenetrable encirclement that tightly surrounded Xiao Jin and her companions.
Their faces were gradually replaced by a strange and cruel smile, a smile filled with endless resentment and a thirst for fresh flesh, which sent chills down one's spine.
It's unclear who was the first to act, but all the vengeful spirits inside the house lunged at the people in the middle.
Han Chuan gripped the dagger tightly in his hand, each swing precise and accurate, severing the chilling ghostly hands that tried to pierce his body.
Meanwhile, Wu Tianjin slowly pulled a peach wood sword from his backpack. The sword was engraved with intricate runes, and as if sensing the presence of the evil spirits around him, it emitted a faint golden light that flickered.
It has to be said that Wu Tianjin was really lucky. He survived a day and a night being chased by the vengeful ghost and successfully waited for Xiao Jin to come and save him. Moreover, he also had a rare supernatural item in his possession.
Weapons are rare items in survival games, let alone supernatural ones. Linhai High School is the first supernatural dungeon after the game update, and there are definitely not many weapons capable of fighting vengeful ghosts.
Not only did Xiao Jin glance at Wu Tianjin, but even Lu Jing couldn't help but look at him sideways. As for Han Chuan, sorry, I'm tired of saying I'm envious!
Wu Tianjin took a deep breath, gripped the sword hilt tightly, and with a swift movement, the peach wood sword struck the surrounding ghosts with deadly force. The scorching runes and each strike were accompanied by the ghosts' screams of agony.
At the same time, Xiao Jin did not slack off. She withdrew her gaze and focused on killing the fierce ghost in front of her. The long sword in her hand was wielded so skillfully that it was impenetrable. Amidst the flashing blades, purple arcs of electricity meandered and crackled.
Although Shattered Shadow is not a supernatural weapon, its inherent lightning attribute gives it a unique advantage in fighting vengeful spirits.
Also drawing attention was Lu Jing, who stood on the other side. This time, he no longer needed to deliberately hide his sharpness; he revealed his dangerous side to Xiao Jin and the other two.
Lu Jing exuded a chilling aura, and with a low, bone-crunching sound, he slowly drew his weapon.
It was a bone whip meticulously woven from countless pale bones. The whip was winding, and each section exuded a chilling aura. The barbs covering it gleamed with a cold light in the dim light.
With a crisp whooshing sound, the bone whip, like a serpent emerging from its hole, instantly ripped through the silent night sky, heading straight for a ferocious ghost with bared fangs and claws. The ghost had a hideous face and was surrounded by thick black mist, but under the bone whip, it was as fragile as paper.
With a flash of the whip, a large chunk of flesh was torn from the ghost's body with a "ripping" sound, revealing its white bones. The ghost's shrill screams echoed around, adding to the terrifying atmosphere.
Lu Jing's movements were swift and precise. Each lash of his whip was accompanied by the wails and shattering of the vengeful ghosts, as if he were carrying out a silent massacre. His figure weaved through the ghostly figures, and wherever the bone whip passed, flesh and blood flew everywhere. The vengeful ghosts retreated in all directions, but they could not escape the fate of being whipped into a pulp.
The whip's tail tightened suddenly, wrapping around the neck of a vengeful ghost attempting to escape. With a flick of Lu Jing's wrist, the ghost's struggles instantly became powerless, and the sound of bones cracking rang out as Lu Jing forcefully pulled the ghost's head up.
Blood splattered on his face, but Lu Jing stood there, his excitement growing stronger.
This scene made Han Chuan and Wu Tianjin tremble and feel a chill run down their spines.
The two silently moved away from Lu Jing, afraid that if they weren't careful, Lu Jing, who was in the heat of the moment, would mistake them for ghosts and kill them!
With the combined efforts of the group, the evil spirits inside the house were all wiped out in just ten minutes.
With the threat of death gone, Han Chuan collapsed into the nearest chair, exhausted, while Wu Tianjin breathed heavily.
Over there, Xiao Jin slowly squatted down and rummaged through the inside of the desk where Yu Ling's head had been found.
She reached inside and felt around for a while before pulling out a notebook.
Xiao Jin raised an eyebrow because the notebook cover was covered with insulting words like 'bitch,' 'slut,' and 'go to hell.'
Opening the cover, Yu Ling's name was clearly written inside. However, someone had drawn a large red X over her name, the handwriting so strong it seemed to penetrate the paper, conveying a heavy emotion.
Keep watching.
"August 3rd, sunny"
Today we moved to the place where my mom grew up. The air here is so fresh, I love it.
"August 6th, sunny"
Mom said that our family will be living here from now on. Grandma is not in good health, so after lunch we went to the hospital to visit her.
We also passed by Linhai High School on the way. My mother said that's where I'll be going to school next.
I wonder if my new classmates will welcome me!
September 1st, cloudy
Today is my first day in my new class, and for some reason, my classmates don't talk to me much. It must be because we're not familiar with each other yet.
