'Bang!'
A loud noise echoed throughout the campus, and all the surviving creatures stopped what they were doing and stared in the direction of the teaching building.
After the vengeful ghost self-destructed, its limbs were blown to pieces, and a large amount of blood sprayed down like a waterfall.
Xiao Jin was alright because of the protective shield, and Lu Jing also cleverly hid. It was the players in the corner who suffered. Not only were they splattered with foul-smelling blood, but they were also almost killed by flying bricks.
When she came to her senses, one of the female players couldn't hold back anymore. Looking at her wet, sticky hair and the strong smell that wouldn't leave her nostrils, she started gagging and crying uncontrollably.
The male player next to her was still holding a twitching thigh in his arms, his face blank with confusion. Who am I? Where am I?
He was immediately jolted back to his senses by the female player's gagging sound. Looking down, he screamed, threw his leg aside, and clutched his chest as he vomited as well.
Xiao Jin subconsciously sniffed, a look of disgust flashing across her eyes, before silently moving away from the disaster area.
Lu Jing suddenly appeared out of nowhere, covering his nose and fanning himself in the air while complaining, "It stinks, it stinks, it's disgusting!"
Lu Jing's voice was not low. The female player next to him who was crying loudly paused for a moment, and then her wailing became several octaves higher. Anyone could hear her breakdown at that moment.
Xiao Jin rolled her eyes at Lu Jing, and received an innocent shrug in return.
…………
It took Xiao Jin and Lu Jing almost two hours to reach the top floor, a mere ten meters or so high.
If the ground floor was a battlefield, then once you reached the fourth floor, everything around you seemed to fall silent.
There wasn't a single ghost on the fourth floor, and the floor was spotless.
The moment Xiao Jin and the other person stepped inside, the outside suddenly went dark, and Xiao Jin looked out the window.
The once clear blue sky, bathed in blazing sunlight, had quietly taken on a different appearance. Thick, dark clouds, as if slowly unfurled by an invisible hand, silently obscured the sky above Linhai High School, gradually swallowing up the area.
These dark clouds gathered in large clumps, and the surrounding light became increasingly dim under their heavy pressure, carrying a sense of foreboding.
"Xiao Jin".
Just then, Lu Jing's hushed reminder came from beside him. Turning his head, he saw Lu Jing looking wary and pointing to a spot not far ahead.
Xiao Jin looked in the direction he pointed out, and realized that at some point, a slight crack had appeared in the door that had been tightly closed, and a faint light was drifting out through the crack.
Is someone in the principal's office?
The moment this thought crossed Xiao Jin's mind, she adjusted her breathing and reduced her presence. Since it wasn't darkness now, Ash Feather's passive skill couldn't be triggered, but that was enough.
Without needing any prompting, Lu Jing flipped his wrist, and an unknown spray bottle appeared in his palm. He then gently sprayed the spray around the two of them a few times.
Xiao Jin then realized that although he could see Lu Jing around him, she could not sense Lu Jing's presence. This must be some kind of concealment device.
The two nodded and quietly approached the principal's office. Through the crack in the door, Xiao Jin saw a familiar figure inside.
The woman with her back to the door was wearing a school uniform, with her jet-black hair falling over her shoulders; she was clearly Yu Ling, who had left earlier.
A thoughtful look flashed across Xiao Jin's eyes. Could it be that Yu Ling had already killed Zhou Lin?
That's right, it's Zhou Lin!
In fact, Xiao Jin had always had a suspicion that after Yu Ling returned as a vengeful ghost, she took revenge on the entire Linhai High School, but she just couldn't kill the culprit who caused her death.
Yu Ling's mother was probably a witch. After learning the cause of her daughter's death, she set up an altar to resurrect her daughter, but something went wrong and Yu Ling became a vengeful ghost.
But it doesn't matter. In Yu Ling's mother's eyes, it's okay to take revenge on those who hurt her daughter.
So Yu Ling chose to set a large fire when Zhou Lin's uncle visited Linhai High School, and then tortured and killed Teacher Yang, who had fled Linhai City, hanging him from the ceiling of the conference room.
Because of Yu Ling's disappearance, Zhou Lin felt guilty and hadn't been to school for a long time.
Xiao Jin guessed that since Yu Ling was able to travel thousands of miles to kill Teacher Yang, she couldn't possibly not have gone to Zhou Lin, but Zhou Lin's family must be very powerful.
For powerful and wealthy families like theirs, the feng shui of their homes is specially arranged by professionals. They might even have a shamanic spirit worshipped in their homes, or at the very least, some blessed magical artifacts.
Since they even have witches, it's not surprising that the Zhou family knows some capable Taoist priests and monks. If Yu Ling goes there, she might not get away with it.
When Zhou Lin's uncle arrived at Linhai High School, he must have just missed Yu Ling. By the time Zhou Lin was attacked but survived and informed his uncle, it was too late.
Linhai High School is Yu Ling's territory; now that he's in, he can forget about leaving.
As for Yu Ling's dismemberment, it was probably done by a highly skilled person hired by the Zhou family. Yu Ling's mother's fate must have been terrible; they wouldn't show any mercy to a woman in their pursuit of Yu Ling's body.
They cautiously approached the door. Although the people inside weren't making much noise, it was enough for the two of them.
"Why are you stopping me?" The voice was cold, and the trembling tone contained a hint of resentment and forbearance. It was Yu Ling questioning him.
Unfortunately, the person opposite her did not answer, and the room fell silent.
After a long pause, Yu Ling spoke first: "You clearly promised me that as long as someone helps me gather the offerings to activate the blood sacrifice, I can leave."
The two people outside the door were somewhat surprised to hear this.
Xiao Jin frowned slightly. Was this still the Yu Ling she knew? Judging from her tone, she seemed quite wary of the principal.
There's also the blood sacrifice. The principal manages Linhai High School, so it's not surprising that he knows about Yu Ling's affairs. But it seems that the other party is intentionally indulging her, allowing Yu Ling to guide players into the inner world and allowing the vengeful ghosts to fight each other.
Those players who disappeared before were probably all brought into the other world by Yu Ling to find her body parts. Unfortunately, they were not strong enough and died quickly at the hands of the vengeful ghosts, until Yu Ling met Xiao Jin in the toilet.
From just a few words, Xiao Jin was certain that the principal's identity was not simple; he must also be a ghost, otherwise he wouldn't have made a vengeful ghost like Yu Ling willingly submit.
