Chapter 183: Spirit Exploration Live Room
Inside the school bus, the air froze.
After a not-too-long stare-at-glance moment, the student ghosts did not care that the person in front of them had privatized the school bus, and they all thanked him politely.
"Thank you very much!"
"In this way, we finally don't have to experience death every day."
"School bus... I don't know who owns it now."
"Just take it if you need it!"
The student ghosts spent ten years on the school bus, suffering every day.
If given a chance, they would want to leave here as soon as possible more than anyone else. This school bus is an unsolvable nightmare for them.
Xu Zhiyan scratched his hair in distress.
"It's not a question of whether to take it or not..."
Looking at the students sitting motionless in their seats, he felt overwhelmed.
"Don't you realize that you can't leave your seats at all?"
Just now when he looked down and saw more than a hundred feet of Banban, he felt something was wrong.
As a very active high school student, Xu Zhiyan didn't think that this group of chattering high school students would really be so obedient as to sit alone on the school bus.
When he was looking for backpacks just now, he saw that there were some seats without any bags, while there were several bags piled on some seats, which showed that students with good relationships were obviously gathered together.
At his reminder, the student ghosts moved around a bit and found that they really couldn't move.
Worried that the students’ fear would attract the rule monster again, Xu Zhiyan quickly waved his hands and calmed them with a skilled tone.
"Don't panic, it's not a big problem. I think he still has unfulfilled wishes."
As he spoke, he took out the old newspaper and read what was on it.
"In the case of the school bus falling into the lake, the driver Li was sentenced to death for... ahem, multiple crimes. The execution was immediate. The driver who caused you to fall into the lake is already dead."
Xu Zhiyan's voice was exceptionally gentle.
Worried that the students would be sad, he omitted some content and only read the key points.
The reason why the school bus fell into the lake is actually more complicated.
This school bus belongs to an ordinary high school, and the driver Li's child also studies there. His academic performance is not very good and he always ranks at the bottom of the class.
This time we went to Lin City to participate in the competition. It was a rare national competition. Although it was only a regional competition, everyone knew that they were probably just going to run as companions. So the teacher told the students that as long as they kept a good attitude and performed steadily, they should not have too much pressure. It would be best if they could strive for good results, but it didn't matter if they couldn't.
For this reason, driver Li once went to see the class teacher and asked if he could let his child participate and get some exercise.
His idea was simple, since he was just running with someone, it didn’t matter who was accompanying him.
But the school is not run by his family.
The results of the competition must be made public, and the school still hopes that the results are not too bad. It will definitely not select a student with poor academic performance to participate, but will leave this participation opportunity to top students.
After receiving a rejection, he became resentful and felt that the school was discriminating against his child.
On the day of taking the students to the competition, the driver Li was drunk. When passing the bridge, he got hot-headed and dived into it.
On the entire school bus, only the window of the driver's seat and the windows of the empty seats in the first row could be opened. There was originally a teacher sitting in the first row, but he got off the bus halfway due to poor health and luckily survived the accident.
In the game live broadcast room, many viewers felt that this group of students was quite miserable.
Being able to see the contents of the newspaper from their perspective, they understood the cause and effect of the matter.
[Alas, it’s fate, some people just shouldn’t die. ]
[It's quite pitiful. These 52 students are all good students.]
[Why didn't Xiao Baiwan tell everything? 】
[Are you stupid? They are already unlucky enough. Not only did they lose their lives for this competition, but they have also been suffering in the past ten years because of this stupid driver. If they knew this, they would go crazy and become completely evil.]
[The body bags have been taken away. These student ghosts should be in a semi-spiritual state now? ]
【The sooner you resolve your resentment, the sooner you will be reborn. 】
[Hey, is there really reincarnation in this world? ]
[This is a good question. Don’t ask it next time.]
After closing the newspaper, Xu Zhiyan frowned and looked at the students who were still in front of him.
He walked to the front row, reached out and poked a boy's shoulder, his fingers piercing through.
Looking up at Yu Xiu who was helped up in the back row, he knew that although these students looked like corpses, they were not completely corpses. They were more like ghosts that could occasionally possess physical bodies.
"Do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"
Xu Zhiyan tried to ask.
The student ghosts were unable to leave, and occupying seats on the school bus affected the use of the bus. It was not that he could not get all these students back to the safe house.
But once they arrive at the safe house, it means that these students will have to live as ghosts in the future.
Live in this eerie infinite game forever and ever until you die again.
In the world of monsters, strength is everything.
There are countless monsters that trade intelligence for force and ability.
And they are not like the little brittle bones. Although they are weak, they are undead creatures and will not die no matter what happens.
He didn't think that this group of innocent and stupid high school students could really adapt to the life of monsters.
Looking at the student ghost's confused face, he sighed.
"The rules say there's only one way to the exam site. I'll drive over there and try it out. If you're still there, you'll become my private property."
Xu Zhiyan adjusted himself quickly.
Forget it, at worst I can just take them all.
Although fifty was indeed a bit too many, he believed that his snail housekeeper could arrange it!
Soon, amid the stunned expressions of the students, the school bus was on the road again.
There were no street lights in the dark suburbs.
A path that seems to have no end, leading to nowhere.
What Xu Zhiyan didn't know was that his own live broadcast room for soul-searching had already exploded.
[???? I fucking fuck? ?]
[Why! Why were the two anchors still in the parking lot just now? They were in the parking lot! I didn’t see it wrong! ! ]
[We were in the parking lot just now, you read that right, but in the blink of an eye, it's no longer a parking lot.]
[I can’t take it anymore, help, someone help me call the police, I think the anchor is really in trouble! He’s really got into trouble this time!!!]
It turned out that the school bus had been in the parking lot before passing the lake where the incident occurred.
The interactive chat between the two anchors is very interesting to watch, and small accidents of one kind or another occur from time to time in the abandoned school bus.
The audiences in the live broadcast room were shocked but reluctant to leave, causing the popularity of the live broadcast room to soar. In just less than an hour, the popularity had soared to more than 800 people online, and it was still growing.
But just after the school bus passed the lake smoothly, an accident happened.
The two anchors who were originally chattering suddenly stopped talking. The audience in the live broadcast room didn’t notice anything wrong at first, but then the phone was placed next to the windshield. With the shaking and bumpy camera, they discovered that the school bus had unknowingly arrived in the suburbs!
[Ahhhh, the two anchors suddenly became mute!!]
[The pretty anchor is driving, and the other anchor is sitting in the first row. I can’t see what the pretty anchor is doing, but the other anchor, he, he looks like a dead person with dull eyes!!]
[Wow wow wow, this is too scary. Shit, this is really too scary.]
[I don’t dare to look at it anymore. I’m having a heart attack.]
It turned out that the school bus was originally driving only to the bridge.
The solution is for two people, one sitting in a safety seat and the other sitting in the driver's seat. When the school bus rushes into the water, they can get out of the window smoothly, but the person sitting in the driver's seat will be grabbed by the student ghost when leaving.
Whether you can really leave alive at that time depends on the player's own ability.
But in order to get the car, Xu Zhiyan drove it over.
The live broadcast system that originally took over the two people's live broadcast room crashed, and I don't know how to broadcast it afterwards.
This sudden change shocked all the audience.
The popularity of Xu Zhiyan’s live broadcast room is skyrocketing.
A true supernatural event happened, and some viewers went to the forum to publicize it, causing the popularity of this live broadcast room to explode, and the number of viewers is growing at a rapid rate.
After all, it is a live broadcast of ghost hunting, and the audiences who come to watch it are mainly interested in supernatural events.
Xu Zhiyan was driving when he learned that the system-assisted live broadcast had crashed.
Messages kept popping up on the panel and his phone kept chirping, so he had to divert his attention and reach out to open the panel.
[There are more than 1,000 people online in your live broadcast room...]
[The number of people online in your live broadcast room has exceeded 1,500...]
He frowned and opened his phone, and was almost scared by the messages that flooded the screen. The school bus made an S-turn on the small road.
Looking at the content in the live broadcast room, Xu Zhiyan tried to shout out.
"Yu Xiu?"
"Brother Xu, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, just calling you."
"……Um!"
This meaningless conversation did not appear in the live broadcast room of Tanling.
It seems that the live broadcast system of the replacement anchor has simply crashed, but as long as the supernatural problem remains, it will not be cancelled.
But this is a good thing for Xu Zhiyan.
He glanced at the strange driving scene and the increasing heat in the lens, and was in a very good mood.
[What the hell? Isn't it just one person driving?]
[I saw on the forum that it was real, so I went to see it, but I only saw a school bus driving.]
[I was also deceived by the forum, so boring.]
[No one is talking. I've never seen such a boring live ghost hunting show.]
The audience who joined later are still questioning.
But the rest of the audience in the live broadcast room who watched the vehicle change position could not remain calm and began to explain continuously.
[This time it’s real! I promise this time it’s real!]
[Damn it, I was watching a supernatural event happen! Wait for me to find the screen recording!]
[（Screen recording.gif）]
[Yes, yes, that’s it! At the beginning, the two anchors were chatting and laughing, and after getting in the car, they found that the door was closed, and it was just a normal live broadcast.]
[Wow! Then the host suddenly seemed to be possessed, not only did he keep quiet, but the school bus was already on the road! If this wasn’t real, I would have cut his head off!]
After someone posted a screen recording GIF and paired it with the content, many people who had just entered the live broadcast room watched the replay and were trembling with fear.
After the scientific popularization, the audience who had just said that the live broadcast was boring were also scared into a cold sweat.
Seeing that everything was fine in the live broadcast room, Xu Zhiyan turned off his phone and concentrated on driving.
Since the popularity was high, there was no need to drive back in a hurry. Before, he was still wondering whether he should speed up and drive back to continue looking for a tunnel.
After driving for about half an hour, a strange school appeared at the end of the road.
Regardless of whether there is anything wrong with the school, it is very strange that the school stands alone in the wilderness!
"Rust City No. 1 Middle School?"
Xu Zhiyan read the big words outside the door, looked at the dark campus and the two rows of bright lights at the door, and felt a little unsure.
The car drove a little closer and he found that the road forked in front of the school. From the fork in the road, he could see from a distance that the road led to another city.
A sign stands on the side of the fork in the road.
【←Rust City】
【→Rucheng No.1 Middle School】
Further to the left is Xiucheng, and to the right is No. 1 Middle School.
"Is this your destination?"
After parking the car outside the street light, he turned around and asked the students uncertainly.
The student ghosts looked at each other in bewilderment and looked out the windows towards Rusty City No. 1 Middle School.
"I don't know. I've never been here."
"Hey? I can stand up!"
"Me too! I can stand up too!"
"Great, that should be it, we can leave our seats now!"
Looking at the innocent expressions of the students, and considering that once the fear disappears, the rules bred by fear will also disappear, Xu Zhiyan decided to get off the car and explore the way first.
We haven't found a safe house yet, so even if we want to rescue all these students, driving across the bridge again is not an option.
It would be great if we could send the Buddha to the west.
After getting out of the car, Xu Zhiyan made sure that there were no accidents in the live broadcast room, agreed on a danger gesture with Yu Xiu in the car, and walked towards the guard post under the expectant gazes of the high school students in the car.
Inside the school bus, the student ghosts who were able to move freely crowded in front of the windshield. Yu Xiu didn't care that these guys were not living people and moved forward together.
"You guys are coming here to take the test code?"
"I don't know, but the school said it was here."
"Rust City No. 1 Middle School, I've never heard of it."
"I haven't heard of it either..."
The living and the dead were chatting happily.
The school of Xiucheng No. 1 Middle School is dark, but the school gate is very bright, and even the lights at the guard post are faintly on.
Just when he passed a street light and left the school bus far behind, Xu Zhiyan discovered some minor problems.
His footsteps changed.
When a normal person walks, each step should only make one footstep sound, especially since this is an ordinary asphalt road and he was wearing sneakers, so the sound should be very small.
But after he took two steps, he found that his footsteps were very heavy.
It was a heavy sound as if one's foot was about to step into mud, and the most bizarre thing was that when he realized there was something wrong with the sound of his footsteps, the sound changed when he took the second step.
“Pah.”
It also sounded like someone was walking on the road in leather shoes.
He frowned and glanced down.
The shadow was still his, but the street lamp was right above his head, so when the light shone on him, the shadow was infinitely shrunk, almost turning into a pool of black shadow under his feet.
After hesitating for a moment, Xu Zhiyan turned his head away.
There was nothing behind him, no strange things, only a small advertisement was abruptly posted on a lamppost nearby: [City Rescue Team, Tel: 123…]
After I stopped, the strange sound disappeared.
After retracting his gaze, when Xu Zhiyan looked back at Xiucheng No. 1 Middle School and was about to continue walking, he discovered something even more strange.
The number of street lights is wrong.
For safety reasons, he parked the school bus outside the range of street lights.
And this road, counting from the left and right hands horizontally, has a total of ten street lamps, divided into two columns and five rows.
He made sure that he had reached the middle position and was standing under the third row of street lights. There should be two more rows of street lights in front of him.
But after looking around, he saw a row of street lights in front of him.
Looking at the three rows of street lights in front of him, a strange and cold feeling emerged from behind Xu Zhiyan.
Are there too many street lights?
Or did his position change without him noticing?
No, his position has changed.
The small advertisement that I just saw posted on the lamppost is now posted on the streetlight in front of me, and I can vaguely see the phone number.
After hesitating for a moment, Xu Zhiyan chose to move forward.
step……
“Pah—”
The sound of crisp and heavy footsteps coincided with his own.
This situation made Xu Zhiyan a little unsure, and suddenly his cell phone vibrated. It was a message from Yu Xiu.
[Brother Xu, why did you walk to the middle and then retreat? ]
With the observations of Yu Xiu and the students on the bus, Xu Zhiyan didn't have to think about what was going on with him.
[I heard strange footsteps, looked back, and returned to the fourth row of street lights. Tell me in detail what you saw.]
It turned out that from the perspective of Yu Xiu and the students, Xu Zhiyan did not look back just now. He was just standing under the third row of street lights when he suddenly seemed to be pushed by something and quickly retreated to the fourth row of street lights.
“…It’s a bit troublesome.”
Xu Zhiyan sighed and didn't dare look back.
He was sure he was fine at the moment, but wasn't sure what the regression was causing.
Judging from the footsteps, it seemed like there was something right next to him. His vision and perception were being affected. Could it be a creature in this school?
...No, it could also be a copy.
The school bus drove a long way from the city full of rules. Could this be the edge of the copy?
But considering that this was a rule copy, before he found the exact rules, he couldn't judge what he should do next. He had to take out a telescope from the props and observe the front from a distance.
This prop telescope can lock onto a target and capture the content of a conversation. In addition to its special functions, it can also be used as an ordinary telescope.
Just after looking into the distance and seeing the lighted guard room clearly, Xu Zhiyan's heart tightened and his expression became solemn.
There was no one in the guard room, but there was a lot of blood.
There were various words and hand prints smeared in blood on the white wall.
'You are not welcome here...'
"Die die die die die..."
'Student Paradise'
Xu Zhiyan looked confused.
What the hell?
Is the first rule that adults are not welcome here? But it doesn't seem like a strict rule.
“…It looks dangerous.”
He muttered to himself, frowning and lowering the telescope.
Unexpectedly, there was a soft voice in his ear, taking over his words.
"Adults are just not welcome here~"
Judging from the voice, it seems to be a little girl, but her age is impossible to tell.
But the sound that appeared silently in his ear made Xu Zhi's scalp tingle.
Considering that the other party did not actively attack and he did not actually enter the campus, he thought for a moment, decided to handle it gently, and left quickly.
"Okay, I'll leave now."
This shabby school doesn't seem to be suitable for sending this busload of student ghosts...
Just after he answered, a burst of laughter rang out.
"I'm already here~"
"How can I let you leave so easily?"
"Let's go!"
"We love eating the souls of adults like you the most!"
"Hehe, your dirty adult soul is only fit to be eaten~"
The classic Chinese quintessence "Already Here" was released, and Xu Zhiyan felt that his body was being pushed forward by several small hands.
Sensing the chill and the coldness that seemed to be able to penetrate the clothes, he concluded that this should also be some kind of spiritual monster.
Instead of panicking, Xu Zhiyan was even a little excited.
[Skill - Slug Spirit]
As the skill was activated, a tiny slug appeared on his shoulder.
Damn, ever since he got this growth skill, he hasn't encountered any spirits that he could devour. 'They' in the city are all flesh and blood beings. He finally ran into a school bus of ghosts, but it was hard to attack them since they were all familiar with each other.
Now he finally encountered a wild ghost spirit, and it was the kind that wanted to harm him on its own initiative. Xu Zhiyan planned to take action directly without any nonsense!
Without looking back, he felt the hand on his back disappear.
Then, screams rang out one after another.
"Ah—what is this?"
"My face! My face! It's eating my face!"
“Save me, save me…”
The shriveled and weak slug spirit, which had not eaten since being caught by Xu Zhiyan, pouted at the spirit behind its master like a hungry wolf with its small eyes as big as mung beans.
The vengeful spirits that were originally laughing and joking now ran in all directions, leaving their bitten companions behind.
Xu Zhiyan heard hurried footsteps and the vicious warnings of the vengeful spirits.
"Wait a minute, I'll call someone over."
After saying that, a loud and strange sound appeared in the air and circled.
"squeak----"
The next second, more than a dozen translucent vengeful spirits floated out from the gate of Rusty City No. 1 Middle School.
Perhaps they wanted to exert their maximum pressure, so the vengeful spirits revealed their appearance - they showed the blood on their bodies.
The few vengeful spirits who had just tried to push Xu Zhiyan suddenly started giggling when they saw help coming.
"No matter how much your pet eats, it will take time for it to devour us. We can tear you to pieces right here in no time!"
"You are the one hundred and forty-first!"
"We will be able to get 500 soon, hehe."
This math ability... Xu Zhiyan turned his head to look at the slug that was gnawing on the resentful spirit, and was sure that the little thing would not be able to finish eating it in a short time, so he turned back and asked the resentful spirits in confusion.
"You only have so few people?"
Although the tone was calm, the words seemed to be provocative.
The vengeful spirits opened their eyes wide, seemingly not understanding why the other party was pretending like this, and stretched out their hands to kill the other party.
The young man in front of me suddenly raised his arm and waved at the air.
The next moment, in a place not illuminated by street lights, more than fifty student ghosts ran towards Rusty City No. 1 Middle School from a distance.
Under the street lights, they had been dead for ten years, and each of them had a ferocious expression. Compared with the vengeful spirits covered in blood, they seemed to have more resentment, as if they were about to fight with each other in the next second.
Looking at the vengeful spirits standing there in a daze, Xu Zhiyan shrugged.
"Ah, there seem to be more people on my side."
"I hope that after you're beaten, you can explain to me what this place is... and by the way, tell me about the treatment in your school."
Will the school in front of me be a new copy?
The third row of street lights that cannot be crossed is either because of monsters or because of the copy.
