Chapter 104 The last person in the exam will die
Li Chu held his shoulders and calmed him down.
"Go inside and talk."
When he saw the blood letter, he actually made a lot of bad assumptions, including Wang Longqi being haunted by a female demon, Wang Longqi being haunted by a female ghost, Wang Longqi being haunted by a female monster, and so on.
At least at this moment, seeing that he was still standing in front of him intact, Li Chu's worries had dissipated a little.
The accommodation environment of Zhengqi Academy is very good, and it deserves the reputation of being one of the four major academies in the world.
Each student has a separate bedroom and study, which are spacious and elegantly decorated. Inspirational calligraphy hangs on the wall, and the desk is filled with fine writing brushes, inkstones, and paper.
No matter how poor a student is, as long as you are admitted to the college, you can immediately enjoy all the best learning conditions for free.
Zhengqi Academy's admission is based on nothing else but your talent and aptitude. It is a world-class academy that only accepts world-class students.
No wonder it has become the dream of all students in Jiangnanzhou.
Just as Li Chu had expected, Wang Longqi's desk was empty with only a slight dust on it.
really.
He entered this academy to trample on the dreams of all the students in Jiangnanzhou.
There were quite a few flipped books on Wang Longqi's bedside, but there was not a single Confucian scripture among them, but Taoist and Buddhist scriptures instead.
At a quick glance, he had read more Taoist scriptures than Li Chu, the real Taoist priest.
What is this? You want to become a monk just one week into the new semester?
But...if it was Wang Longqi, it wouldn't be so strange.
After looking at the room and their thoughts quickly passed by, Li Chu and Xiao Yueer sat on the chairs, ready to listen to Wang Longqi's situation.
Wang Longqi first climbed onto the bed, then carefully wrapped himself with a quilt, and then looked at Li Chu in horror.
"You'll never guess what happened!"
Li Chu narrowed his eyes: "How would I know if you don't tell me?"
Wang Longqi said in a grim tone: "It was only after I came here that I realized that in Zhengqi Academy... one person dies every year!"
The little koi blinked cooperatively, looking a little surprised.
But she didn't even know what the academy was for, and was probably just shocked by Wang Longqi's exaggerated tone.
Li Chu had no expression on his face.
There was a naked "oh" written on his face.
College...
Especially for a top-notch academy in the world like Zhengqi Academy, candidates not only have extremely favorable conditions, but also bear unimaginable pressure.
The ancient imperial examination was countless times more difficult than the college entrance examination.
The goal of the students in Zhengqi Academy is definitely not to become a scholar or a juren... and then return to their hometown to live a life of idleness and wait for death.
They want to be the best of the generation in this huge dynasty, or even the only one.
You can imagine the burden in my heart...
Too much stress can kill people.
When Li Chu was in school, he heard that the evening self-study and weekend tutoring classes were cancelled, but he didn't know the reason.
Everyone understood tacitly that something had happened.
This kind of thing happens several times every year.
Likewise, in this Zhengqi Academy where the pressure is countless times greater, one person dies every year...
Not surprising at all.
Maybe even... a little less...
Seeing that Li Chu was not moved at all, Wang Longqi said anxiously, "I'm not talking about suicide or accidents, but... bizarre deaths, killed by monsters!"
"Hmm?" Li Chu frowned, "What monster?"
“I don’t know!” Wang Longqi shook his head heavily, “I just don’t know! It’s been almost a hundred years, and no one knows! The people in this academy are all rubbish!”
He spoke loudly and nervously, and it was obvious that he was about to collapse after being in fear for a long time.
Li Chu was very familiar with him and knew that he was a very calm person. It must be something extremely terrifying to make him so scared.
So he leaned forward slightly, got closer to Wang Longqi, looked into his eyes, lowered his voice, and said slowly:
"Don't worry, tell me slowly what happened to you, I can help you."
"Well... OK!" Wang Longqi nodded again, "I believe you. I can only believe you."
Then he began to tell what he had encountered in an organized manner.
"There has been a legend circulating in the Zhengqi Academy."
"Every year in the entrance exam, the person who gets the last place in the exam will die!"
Wang Longqi's eyes were wandering, as if he was telling a ghost story.
He asked in a hoarse voice: "Do you know who ranked last in this year's entrance examination?"
"Of course it's you." Li Chu said.
“Ha.” Wang Longqi laughed bitterly at himself, “Yes, I was so scared, of course you knew it was me.”
Li Chu said in his heart, no.
I just have confidence in your ability.
But at this time, he couldn't provoke Wang Longqi again.
"In fact, every college has such ghost stories passed down from generation to generation..." he said.
"No!" Wang Longqi interrupted him, "Of course I know. I once made up a story that the school was once a cemetery to scare people. Of course I don't believe such nonsense."
"but……"
“I soon realized something was wrong.”
"At first, from the first day I entered this academy, the people around me were very nice to me, strangely nice."
"They put me in the best room, assigned me the best husband, and always reserved the best seat for me... Everyone smiled when they saw me..."
"When everyone is enthusiastic about you for no reason...it scares you, do you know that feeling?"
Li Chu blinked again without any emotion.
because……
The people Li Chu meets every day are very enthusiastic towards him...
Every girl smiled when she saw him...
Is this a very strange thing? Wang Longqi looked at Li Chu's expression and stroked his forehead. Sometimes when communicating with such people...
So tired.
He had to explain: "For us ordinary people, this is a very strange thing!"
Li Chu nodded in understanding.
"At that time, I didn't feel anything was wrong. I just thought they were taking care of the freshmen. But soon I found out that everyone in this academy is very busy and they don't have the time to care who you are or whether you are a freshman or not."
"But only for me, they would be unreasonably enthusiastic and would help me regardless of time."
"Do you know to what extent?"
"On the third day of school, I had diarrhea due to poor acclimatization. Immediately, a group of senior brothers who knew medicine came to me."
"I was just joking. I'm fine. There's no need to be like this. If you really want to help, why not give me a taste..."
"I swear, I was just kidding."
"As a result, they all rushed to shout 'Oli Gei' to me..."
"I was so scared that I almost cried..."
"On the fourth day of school, I suddenly had a leg cramp while sleeping, and I jumped up immediately. It turned out that there was a nail on the bed..."
He lifted his hair and Li Chu saw a scratch scar there.
Although it is not serious, if it was two inches higher...it would be hard to say.
"On the fifth day of school, I invited a few classmates to go shopping at Wenrouli, but before we even got through the door, we were hit by a carriage that suddenly started up for no reason."
"Can you believe it? A tall horse passed through the six of us and kicked me... there... with great precision."
"I wanted to die at that time..."
"Fortunately, after a period of severe pain, I recovered and found that it was just a little swollen..."
"In order not to spoil everyone's fun, I continued to invite them to play. I let them stay overnight, and I had a meal alone and returned to the academy... Facing the cold eyes and ridicule of the good girls..."
"On the way back, I was in so much pain that I rented a carriage. But the driver fell asleep and rushed into the Liuhua River with the horse and the man..."
“I almost died in the river again…”
"I finally realized something was wrong. Ever since I entered this academy, I seem to have been particularly unlucky!"
"The next day I didn't leave my room, and I didn't even go to class... The teacher didn't pursue it with me... It's so strange. If other students were absent from class without reason, they would be warned once, punished twice, and expelled from the school three times... There was no mercy."
"At this time, the brothers who went with me to Wenrouli came over and hesitantly told me a horrifying story."
"No one kept this from me. It was not until we had visited prostitutes together, a relationship that was as close as life and death, that they were willing to reveal it..."
"It turns out that the last-placed student in the Zhengqi Academy will die every year!"
He repeated what he had said before.
But this time, Li Chu's expression was serious.
It is not uncommon for a person to be unlucky, but it is very strange for a person to be unlucky repeatedly over a period of time, and to the extent of causing death.
Especially in this world where luck is the key.
It is very likely that some mysterious existence is involved.
"This incident started nearly a hundred years ago. It started with a student who was the last to enter the school and died inexplicably."
"The way he died may be bizarre, but no one cares."
"After all, in a place like this, no one cares about the last one."
"But when this happened several times in succession... after a few years, the college's top management finally realized something was wrong."
"It may not seem like a big impact on the college if one of the last students dies every year. However, even if they are the worst students in the college, they are still top-notch students, so it is a loss anyway."
"What's more serious is that once the news gets out, who would dare to take the entrance exam for Zhengqi Academy?"
“Who can guarantee that they are not the last one?”
"So the academy invited a master from Chaotianque to start a thorough investigation of the matter."
"But... nothing came of it."
"Everyone's death was a gradual process of bad luck that began without warning on the first day of school. Yes, it was bad luck that led to death."
"Some are as short as three to five months, and some are as long as a year or two. In short, no one is immune."
"The academy's top brass was furious."
"They used their connections to invite elders from half of the twelve immortal sects, all of whom are at the level of the Myriad Realm."
"But even with these people working together to take care of him, the candidate who ranked last that year still died."
"The cause of death was that he choked without any warning. The elder of Tianwang Mountain wanted to pat his back, but forgot to stop..."
"One year later, Chaotianque even sent a powerful person from the Zhansui realm to take charge!"
"But it was useless. The investigation yielded no results, and the student died unexpectedly. Before leaving, the great man said that perhaps a demon was stealing the academy's fortune... but he was helpless."
“Since then, the academy has compromised.”
To be honest, for a powerful person in the state of Zhan Sui, it would not be a big deal if not only one student but even the entire academy died.
It's just because this academy is a righteous academy that someone comes to manage it.
But when even such powerful people are helpless, they can only give up.
Invite the land gods again?
Those are things that can only be encountered by chance.
For the immortals on land...even if all the people in Hangzhou died, what would it matter? So Li Chu nodded in understanding.
Compromise, not surprising.
He couldn't help but wonder, what would he do if he were faced with such a thing?
Soon, a terrible thought came to my mind...
Li Chu didn't want to think about it anymore and continued to listen attentively to Wang Longqi's narration.
I only heard Wang Long say:
"The Central Academy has tried many methods, such as admitting students based on merit, but without ranking them... but it's useless. People have a scale in their hearts to measure the good and the bad. The worst one will always die."
"So the academy's top management came up with one last solution..."
"They started to select one person from among those who took the exam every year..."
"The article is so crap..."
"I am ignorant and incompetent..."
"Your character is also useless..."
"The only people who are somewhat handsome..."
"They recruited this person as the last one, so that the student who was supposed to be the last one could be spared from the disaster."
"And this last-place...piece of trash will die."
Li Chu's pupils shrank.
So that's how it is. There must be something fishy going on for Wang Longqi to be able to enter Zhengqi Academy.
I just didn't expect it to be such a serious matter...
After thinking for a while, he asked in a deep voice, "That condition of 'only somewhat handsome'... you added it yourself, right?"
"Clam?"
Wang Longqi looked at him with grief and anger.
"It's already this time... and you're still arguing with me about this?"
When I finished writing this chapter... it was half past six... it was dawn... some readers were starting to get up...
