Chapter 53 Grave Numbers Above All 15 Sixth Middle School
Wu Wangwang was taken aback: "You mean, our two groups might not be using the same set of death rules?"
Ling Yuanshan pondered for a moment and shook his head: "You can't say that. We are all actually within the school rules. What I mean is that the rules of death may be different. If the cause of death in this school comes from ghosts, that is, the ones mentioned in the report, then the ghosts we encounter and the ghosts the players encountered may not be the same."
Such a thing is not impossible, but Wu Wangwang recalled the relief of the four ghosts lying to each other in the "Our Agreement" instance, and said: "It is possible, but don't jump to conclusions too early. What if there are seven or eight ghosts? Anyway, I'll go back to the dormitory to check first. If you find any information, try to find Gao Hu's phone so that we can contact each other."
"You should have a cell phone, but how did you bring it into the dorm?" Ling Yuanshan remembered that there was a rule that you couldn't bring a cell phone into the dorm. The dorm supervisor would check, and if you were caught, you would be severely punished.
Wu Wangwang lifted Ge Nan's backpack: "Put it in the bag. I've been coming and going these past few days, and the dorm supervisor hasn't searched my bag."
Ling Yuanshan covered his face helplessly: "The dormitory supervisor probably didn't search because she knew you hadn't hidden anything. She'll search once you put it in. The supervisor and security guard in this instance are probably assistant referees with scanning authority. Don't take any risks. How about this, whoever finds the clues first, we'll all wait on the playground. It's more obvious there, and it's very spacious, so there's less chance of danger."
Even if they encounter danger, Wu Wangwang can run away, and Ling Yuanshan can come over wielding his broadsword and make his move.
Although Wu Wangwang still wanted to try to see if her aunt could find out, she decided not to take the risk and could try again later when she was more familiar with the dungeon.
I found Liu Hong's dormitory from the head of student life. It was on the fifth floor, room 504. Each dormitory building in the school houses one graduating class of students, and the number of students is well controlled. Every year, there are slightly more dormitory beds than students.
Room 504 was similar in structure to Wu Wangwang's dormitory, with ten beds and an electric fan above the door frame, and another one on the wall directly opposite.
The dormitory doors are closed when students are not there, but the school requires all dormitories to be unlocked for inspection purposes. There is a window next to the door, and a normal person cannot reach in through the window to open the door. But Wu Wangwang is not a normal person. She reached in through the open ventilation window and opened the dormitory door with a click.
The dorm rooms are stuffy, with only windows at both ends, so most dorm rooms don't close the windows unless necessary. Students probably think that as long as the doors are closed and there are bars on the windows, no one will steal things.
The room was quiet until Wu Wangwang entered and suddenly felt a cool breeze, followed by the whirring sound of an electric fan.
Before Wu Wangwang could even look up after hearing the sound, she felt something drip onto her face. She reached up and touched it; it was red blood, so dark it was almost black. Girls are all familiar with this color of blood, as they have their period every month.
Blood dripped down, and Wu Wangwang stepped aside to avoid the blood. Looking up, she saw an umbilical cord hanging from an old-fashioned green oscillating fan fixed to the wall. A fetus of unknown gender was hanging on the fan, constantly hitting the wall as the fan oscillated, leaving deep bloodstains on the wall.
Even though only the fan was blowing, the room grew colder and colder, as if it had fallen into an ice cellar. Wu Wangwang raised her scissors and threatened, "If you cause any more trouble, I'll cut your umbilical cord."
The fan suddenly jammed, emitting a piercing, sputtering sound.
The fetus let out a whimper and disappeared instantly, and the fan stopped.
Only then did Wu Wangwang realize that this dormitory was a bit dark, much darker than the other dormitories. Moreover, there were yellowish marks under the fan. After seeing the fetus bumping around earlier, she knew where those marks came from.
Wu Wangwang put away the scissors and carefully observed the entire dormitory. She looked at the window at the other end and found that it was closed. No wonder the dormitory was so dark.
As she walked over, Wu Wangwang wondered if her dormitory room would be this dark if the windows were closed.
The window hadn't been opened in ages; it was covered in a thick layer of dust and grime, no wonder it blocked out so much light.
With a creak, the moment Wu Wangwang opened the window, a head covered in blood slammed into her from below, blocked by the railing, but long hair pierced through the railing and splashed blood all over Wu Wangwang's face.
The head looked like that of a pretty girl, but a thin fishing line was tied around her neck, and she was hanging upside down outside the window. Blood gushed from her carotid artery, flowing all over her face. Her eyes were bloodshot, and she was not completely dead, as if she was begging the witnesses to save her. Therefore, strange cries for help were coming from some unknown part of her body.
Wu Wangwang wiped her face helplessly. She hadn't been smeared with blood like this in the last dungeon, but this time, she got smeared with blood twice as soon as she entered. She had to wash her school uniform herself, unlike the last dungeon where the referee just handed it to her.
Her head kept banging against the window bars, her long hair swaying back and forth, splashing Wu Wangwang's face with water.
Feeling really annoyed, Wu Wangwang grabbed the long hair, raised the scissors, and snipped it short.
He probably never imagined such a thing could happen; his mind was in shock, and he forgot to keep ramming the railing.
"Speak properly. It's very impolite to splatter blood on someone's face." Wu Wangwang decided to give the brain some "ghostly manners education."
The player had never seen a player like this before and momentarily forgot the process.
Wu Wangwang found some napkins in the dormitory and tried to wipe her face, but the blood was not so easy to wipe away, and her face was a little red.
After wiping, Wu Wangwang looked out the window: "Hey, what's the next step? Tell me quickly so I can look for other clues."
The head glared angrily at Wu Wangwang, then was hoisted up again. Wu Wangwang quickly sensed it and discovered that the fishing line had been lowered from the ninth floor to prevent students from jumping. But that didn't make sense; the school dormitory had railings to prevent students from jumping.
Suppressing her doubts, Wu Wangwang continued to inspect the dormitory, especially Liu Hong's bed and closet.
There are ten beds in the dormitory, bunk beds. Liu Hong is on the top bunk. Wu Wangwang climbs up. The bedding is a blue checkered one provided by the school. Every student uses the same one, including the boys.
Wu Wangwang reached out and touched the bed, and indeed felt a slight bulge in the middle of the bed. She lifted the mattress, but the bed board was flat. Perhaps it was a problem with the mattress, but Wu Wangwang did not find anything protruding even after taking the mattress apart.
Then Wu Wangwang put the mattress back on, and sure enough, there was another bump.
Carefully touching it, Wu Wangwang felt the shape through the mattress, and a flash of inspiration struck her—it was a pen, a ballpoint pen used for signing exam papers.
The reason for this situation is unknown. Wu Wangwang continued to rummage through Liu Hong's pillow and quilt, and found a lucky bag in the pillow with the words "May you pass the imperial examination with flying colors" written on it. Many students like to ask for one before the college entrance examination.
But Wu Wangwang squeezed it and felt that something was wrong with the contents of the lucky bag.
As the main deity of a temple, the temple of the Ghost Mother Goddess also gave out lucky bags, mixed with those of the mountain god. These lucky bags mainly contained mugwort and some words of blessing, or yellow paper with talismans for warding off evil and bringing good fortune.
Wu Wangwang has seen many normal lucky bags, but the lucky bag in Liu Hong's pillow is strange; it doesn't feel right.
Without hesitation, Wu Wangwang took out scissors and dissected it along the stitches. Then she poured out a strand of reddish black hair and a small piece of flesh. It was human flesh, and flesh cut from a living person.
After putting these items back into the lucky bag, Wu Wangwang cast a spell on the bag to prevent it from affecting others. Then she began to check the cabinets in the room.
Those cabinets were for students to store their clothes, and they weren't very big. In addition to clothes, Liu Hong's cabinet also contained a lot of test papers and draft notebooks. Wu Wangwang glanced through them and found that there were three different handwriting styles on them. Two of them were the most common, while the remaining style only had a few pages of writing on it.
In terms of content, among the two most common handwriting styles, one is a very standard exam-ready font, which is clear, neat, and simple, and teachers will give more points when they see it while grading papers. The other style is more cute and tends to be a trendy font.
The test-taker wrote numerous correct answers in the standard font, along with problem-solving strategies beyond the reference answers. The "internet celebrity" font, on the other hand, was somewhat messy, indicating a lack of understanding of the knowledge points and mediocre problem-solving skills.
As for the remaining new fonts, Wu Wangwang is inclined to believe they were left by player Liu Hong. She wrote some after entering the dungeon according to Liu Hong's habits, but they were very messy and even worse than Liu Hong's NPC self.
Unfortunately, adults often forget a lot of their knowledge after graduating from university. It's already good enough if they can remember their major; the basic knowledge they can no longer use gradually becomes just a vague impression.
The other nine NPCs in the same dormitory all had similar lockers, which were mainly used to store school supplies. It was clear that this school was very strict, and everyone continued studying even after school when they returned to their dormitories.
Unable to find any more information, Wu Wangwang originally intended to go directly to the playground, but after glancing out the window and not seeing Ling Yuanshan there, she remembered those students. She hadn't visited their dormitories yet, and since it was a rare holiday, she might as well take this opportunity to go and see them.
Ling Yuanshan notified all the students to return to their dormitories. Logically speaking, even if they were studying hard, they should be in their dormitories, so Wu Wangwang walked towards their dormitories with peace of mind.
The dormitory buildings are randomly assigned. Since there is already frequent turnover of students in the class, constantly changing dormitories would affect the students, so it's better to just assign them randomly, and they will stay there for three years.
Recently, it was the girls' dormitory, where she was also in a regular class. Wu Wangwang saw her studying at the only table in the dormitory, and she had moved all her personal belongings off the table.
Wu Wangwang knocked on the door: "Hey classmate, open the door for me, I have something I want to ask you."
But the woman did not react; her hands continued moving without stopping.
Helpless, Wu Wangwang had no choice but to resort to the same trick again. Taking advantage of the fact that the girl C had her back to her, she stretched out her arm and opened the door from behind the window. After entering the door, she went straight to the girl C's side, intending to let her rest, but found that the girl C was not doing the problem at all.
The woman's eyes were bloodshot, and she wore a ferocious smile. Her eyes were wide open, and she was frantically writing the word "go to hell" on a notebook. She had already covered many pages with the words, and she was using a red pen. She kept covering the words with the pen, as if the paper was covered with blood.
Just as Wu Wangwang was in a daze, the woman suddenly turned her head to face Wu Wangwang at an extreme angle, as if her head had been forcibly twisted. Although it was not to the point of breaking, she must have been in great pain.
The smile on her face didn't disappear, but mixed with the pain of her neck being twisted, she said in a lighthearted tone, "Go to hell! Everyone who gets better grades than me, go to hell, go to hell, go to hell, go to hell, go to hell..."

Author's Note: [End of Chapter]
Wu Wangwang: Your wish is a bit difficult to fulfill. There are over ten million test takers every year, and several million die. Even Satan would tattoo you down if he came along. [shrug]
