“This is…” Wu Tianjin glanced at Xiao Jin.
Xiao Jin: "It should be a reenactment of the scene." She had encountered it once before in the grove.
Recalling the previous fire, Xiao Jin noticed that there seemed to be a red banner hanging above the conference room that read "Welcome leaders to visit the school," and the leader seemed to be surnamed Chen.
If Xiao Jin remembered correctly, Zhou Lin's uncle should be surnamed Chen!
Therefore, on the seventh day after Yu Ling's death, she transformed into a vengeful ghost and set fire to the school during a meeting of all the teachers and students, burning everyone in the school to death.
Among them were not only her classmates and teachers who stood by and watched coldly after she was bullied and framed, but also Ai Yue and others who had personally bullied Yu Ling!
Thinking of this, Xiao Jin suddenly frowned. Something was wrong! She hadn't seen Zhou Lin in the crowd just now.
Even the dismissed teacher Yang couldn't escape it, but why wasn't Zhou Lin there at this welcome party specially organized for Zhou Lin's uncle?
"Boss, what do we do now?" Wu Tianjin asked.
Xiao Jin lowered her eyes: "Let's go to the girls' dormitory first."
"Alright!" Han Chuan knew that Xiao Jin was finally going to the altar on the top floor, and immediately responded excitedly.
…………
Holy crap! It's so big!
Fifteen minutes later, the four of them arrived at the top floor of the girls' dormitory. Only then did Wu Tianjin understand why Han Chuan had that expression when they mentioned going to the girls' dormitory.
The entire room, from floor to ceiling, was covered with patterns drawn in blood. On the altar at the very center, fragmented limbs were half-pieced together, casting an eerie glow under the surrounding candlelight.
"Gulp!" After his initial surprise, Wu Tianjin silently swallowed.
Lu Jing, who was standing by the door, glanced at the things inside the room before his gaze fell on Xiao Jin, a knowing look flashing in his eyes.
No wonder she acted so fiercely when I tried to stop her from getting the skull, as if I had stolen some treasure from her. It turns out she had a mission to complete.
Lu Jing is a playful and mischievous person. In the previous worlds, he would mess around in dungeons whenever he had time, which triggered several side quests, some big and some small. So, Xiao Jin triggering a side quest was not surprising to him.
Ahead, Xiao Jin bent down and took out the limbs from the space and put them away one by one.
When the last right arm was precisely attached to the torso, the surrounding silent walls seemed to be torn apart by an invisible hand, and blood seeped out from within, flowing like a stream into a river, slowly flowing towards the mysterious altar in the center.
An indescribable solemnity and eeriness permeated the air. Under the baptism of this power, Yu Ling's body seemed to undergo a miraculous rebirth. The air itself transformed into the finest threads, with invisible hands mending her shattered flesh.
The broken joints and shattered bones were pieced back together one by one, and the shocking cracks gradually faded away until they disappeared without a trace in Han Chuan's astonished gaze.
The blood transformed into supple muscles, covering the once-withered bones, and the shriveled limbs gradually became fuller, restoring Yu Ling's former features.
As fresh blood continued to flow in, every inch of her skin glowed with a healthy and alluring luster under the nourishment of the blood.
What appeared before Xiao Jin and the others at this moment was a living, breathing Yu Ling.
'Whoosh!'
As Yu Ling opened her eyes, Xiao Jin seemed to hear a shattering sound. Earlier, after the altar began operating, as the surrounding stench of blood grew stronger, everyone had to retreat from the room, thus they had clearly seen it.
With a cracking sound, the black mist that had been obscuring their vision seemed to dissipate completely, and the sky outside the window suddenly brightened. Sunlight streamed through the corridor windows and fell on everyone, dispelling the chilly atmosphere around them.
[Ding—The side quest "Crimson Altar" has been completed. Reward: 2000 points and one bronze treasure chest.]
The side quest is complete, and Xiao Jin's reward has been credited to her account.
As for the other three, they also heard the system notification simultaneously: [Ding—Player's participation in completing a side quest has been detected. The system is starting to calculate contribution points...Ding—Due to your low contribution level, the system rewards you with 50 points.]
Lu Jing's face darkened instantly, but he quickly regained his composure. He had just stumbled in halfway through his journey; it would be a miracle if the system were to be generous.
Lu Jing rolled his eyes at the panel, "Pah! Garbage, I'll kill you!"
50 points aren't even enough for him to repair his equipment!
Wu Tianjin, holding the newly generated 50 points on the panel, was both amused and exasperated. He glanced at Han Chuan, whose mouth was practically stretched to his eyes in a wide grin.
Hehehehehehe~
Han Chuan's face was practically beaming with joy.
500 points, that's a steal!
Let's do the math: completing the main quest at Linhai High School rewards you with 500 points, passing the entrance exam grants another 100, discovering the altar gives you 200, and side quests give you 500. That adds up to a total of 1300 points.
After doing the calculations, Han Chuan's hands began to tremble.
Back when the Zerg world ended, he only got a few hundred points. But he earned 1,300 points from a single supernatural dungeon. Is this the benefit of clinging to a powerful player?
Han Chuan now desperately hopes that he can meet a powerful patron like Boss Xiao in the next world!
Just as Han Chuan was happily wondering how to use his points after returning to the train, Xiao Jin suddenly looked up and said, "The boundary between inner and outer space has been broken!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Tianjin suddenly turned around and looked at Xiao Jin.
Han Chuan was confused. Seeing Wu Tianjin's pale face, he immediately turned his head and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean?"
Wu Tianjin gritted his teeth: "What the boss means is..."
"It means the school is about to descend into chaos!" Lu Jing said to Han Chuan with a laugh, then moved closer to Xiao Jin.
"Chaos? Why?" Han Chuan asked in alarm.
Wu Tianjin frowned deeply and sighed as he said to Han Chuan, "Yu Ling has been unable to come to the Inner World before. Oh, I'll just call it the Inner World for now!"
"The Linhai High School where we stayed in the game before was the surface world. Although Yu Ling was in the surface world, she couldn't do anything. Her enemies and most of her body were in the inner world."
As long as a boundary existed between the two, Yu Ling could not descend into the inner world. But now that the inner and outer barriers have shattered, the time has come for Yu Ling to unleash her carnage.
"Ah! Then this..." It's better not to do the side quest at all!
Han Chuan's words caught in his throat. He glanced at Xiao Jin furtively, and then his face turned bitter.
No... I don't want to die, I haven't spent my points yet!
"It's too late to say anything now. I just hope Yu Ling remembers that we pieced her body back together, so that she won't be accidentally injured during the hunt."
