Chapter 2: I Won't Lie Through My Eyes
Jiang Liyue was completely unaware of this. She remembered that she was currently in a dungeon of a bizarre game, where she could lose her life if she wasn't careful.
Therefore, he ignored the student in front of him who seemed timid and began to examine the test paper in his hand.
[Entrance Examination for Transfer Students at Xingfu No.1 Middle School]
An adult's nightmare is probably waking up to find themselves back in the exam hall, unable to answer a single question – that feeling of despair.
No, and nobody told her that she had to take an exam to enter the eerie game!
Fortunately, Jiang Liyue was a top student before entering the entertainment industry. Although she hadn't been exposed to high school knowledge for several years, she should have no problem passing an exam.
She confidently examined the test paper, but her hand, poised to write, froze when she saw the questions on the paper.
Which part of the human body has the most delicious meat?
a. Brain, b. Thigh, c. Arm, d. Heart
How to identify if a human is mixed in with a strange entity?
a. smell, b. appearance, c. movements, d. eyes
Jiang Liyue looked at the test paper, which she couldn't even begin to write, and was somewhat speechless. Was this test even legitimate?
[Such an easy question, let me answer it! Let me answer it!]
[Turns out you can even choose the cut of meat, but it's all about personal preference. I think the thigh meat is the most tender and delicious.]
[The person in front clearly hasn't eaten this before. If you had, you wouldn't say something like that; the thigh meat was rock hard.]
[You guys actually picked this 9.9 yuan "ghost meal"?]
[Shut up, I'm feeling unwell, I suspect I'm addicted to ghost food.]
There are so many new players in this classroom; they're already scared when they see the questions.
[My wife isn't afraid at all, she's so calm! Can you please focus the camera on her more often in the live stream, instead of making me look for her in the corner of the frame!]
Jiang Liyue was indeed quite calm. Following her exam habits from when she was in school, after filling in her name, she didn't start answering the questions immediately, but instead scanned the entire exam paper.
Fortunately, the exam was all multiple choice, which explains why the exam time was only thirty minutes.
Jiang Liyue silently recited the mnemonic "choose the longest of the three short and one long" in her mind, and if she was really unsure, she would choose C.
But when she got to the third question, she suddenly felt a slight cool breeze by her ear.
A sticky, disgusting gaze seemed to be fixed intently on her.
She instinctively wanted to turn her head away, but stopped herself before she could do so, and continued answering the questions with her head down.
The gaze grew increasingly cold and sinister, and suddenly a gust of wind blew by, causing the candlelight to flicker.
By moving the candle to her chin, Jiang Liyue easily blocked the wind from both sides with her arms.
Then calmly continued answering the following questions.
But not everyone is as cautious as Jiang Liyue.
The man sitting in the seat closest to the window was still answering questions when a gust of wind suddenly came from somewhere.
The moment the white candle on the table was extinguished by the wind, it was as if some kind of restriction had been broken.
A rotting, foul-smelling face appeared before the man, who screamed in terror and collapsed to his seat.
The rotting face continued to swell, its mouth splitting open to reveal gleaming white teeth, and it bit off his head in one gulp.
The crunching sound of chewing was particularly noticeable in the quiet classroom, and almost everyone looked in the direction of the sound.
[As expected of an A-rank dungeon, they started eating within just ten minutes of the start, unlike the D-rank dungeon I watched yesterday, where they dragged their feet until the very last day before finally getting their first bite.]
[It's time for my favorite part of the mukbang! The deluxe meal in my hand looks even better now.]
[Where did this country bumpkin come from, eating so inelegantly?]
[Haha, I'll be waiting for you to go to the next dungeon, grab a knife and fork, and chase after players to devour them. Remember to stream it to us!]
Jiang Liyue had just looked up when she saw the disgusting scene of the male player's head being bitten off.
Because the candle on the man's table had gone out, only the faint light from other directions revealed a headless body dripping blood onto the ground.
And a dark figure squatting on the man's desk, chewing something noisily.
The girl closest to the man who was eaten had blood splattered all over her face. She covered her mouth, afraid to make a sound, but she was trembling all over with tears in her eyes.
The female teacher who was originally sitting at the podium stood up, walked over to the spot where the body was, and frowned with a hint of disgust: "You ate the head first, making it filthy. We'll clean it up after the exam."
"Alright, everyone else, continue with the exam." The female teacher turned her neck 180 degrees inexplicably, looking at everyone in the classroom with greedy eyes.
After delivering the malicious warning, the female teacher dragged the headless corpse all the way to the podium.
The same crunching sound began to come from the podium, but no one dared to look up.
The classroom reeked of blood and was eerily silent except for the sickening chewing sounds coming from the podium.
The classroom seemed even colder.
Jiang Liyue rubbed her arms, flipped the test paper back to the first question, and changed her original choice from C to A.
Judging from what that female teacher said earlier, it seems that brains are indeed a better food source.
Brains really do taste good...
Jiang Liyue swallowed hard, her mind filled with images of spicy rabbit heads, chopped chili fish heads, and braised lion's head meatballs...
Although she didn't feel hungry after entering the game, the burning sensation in her stomach that she felt before entering the game was still there, and she really wanted to eat something.
Remembering that she was still in the game, Jiang Liyue quickly banished her chaotic thoughts.
Great, she got one question right now.
Jiang Liyue thought optimistically that at least she was definitely not at zero points now.
Jiang Liyue then started working on the next set of questions, but the ghosts around her never stopped.
Every now and then he would breathe into her ear, tug at her hair, and a few times a deathly pale face would suddenly appear in front of her.
To be honest, it doesn't feel like a bizarre murder plot; it's more like an annoying male classmate from school.
Jiang Liyue guessed that she was not the only one who was like this, because she could occasionally hear other people in the classroom making noises, followed by chewing sounds just like at the beginning.
Jiang Liyue didn't cast any more glances at her.
She had noticed that the chewing sounds were becoming more and more frequent, which meant that more and more people were dying.
However, the fact that everyone is more vigilant than at the beginning only proves that the ghosts are becoming increasingly dangerous as time goes on.
The viewers in the live stream were also extremely excited.
My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Is this what the weirdos in the dungeon are like?
[I was lucky with this dungeon; some dungeons require you to "act" before you can even get a bite.]
Amidst the barrage of comments expressing hunger, a few different comments stood out: "Wait, is that jerk taking advantage of my wife? I've seen him deliberately get close to her neck several times."
[I noticed it too. They were staring at that pretty little human with such disgusting eyes! It was awful!]
However, because the live stream camera was mostly focused on the bloody eating scenes, few viewers noticed this detail.
After finishing all the questions in one go, and with a pale face floating before her eyes again, Jiang Liyue suddenly raised her hand: "Teacher!"
A clear female voice rang out in the empty classroom, and not only the female teacher, but everyone else turned to look at her.
When I saw her ghostly face illuminated by the candlelight from below, I, like the student in front of me, exclaimed "Holy crap!" in my mind.
Because of Jiang Liyue's voice, the camera in the live stream finally focused entirely on her.
[What? There's such a cute player in the classroom? How come I didn't notice her earlier?]
Oh my god, this human looks so cute! She's my destined wife!
【Wait, why is my wife suddenly calling me "teacher"? I hope she doesn't get eaten alive; I can't bear to watch.】
[Probably not. I noticed she seemed quite calm; she probably has a plan.]
[I haven't watched the live stream for this instance before, so I'm asking a question: Is it really okay to raise my hand and call for the teacher during the exam?]
The viewers in the live stream became worried, while the female teacher on the podium, who had initially looked gloomy, suddenly relaxed when she saw Jiang Liyue: "What's wrong, student?"
However, the stiff, pale face that tried to make a friendly expression looked frightening no matter how you looked at it.
Especially since the female teacher had just eaten someone, with blood and bits of flesh still hanging from the corners of her mouth, and her long tongue dripping blood as she grinned, she walked towards her step by step.
Jiang Liyue acted as if the other person was just an ordinary teacher. She smiled sweetly at the other person, her beautiful eyes curving into crescents, making her instantly likable: "Teacher, I want to hand in my paper early."
"You're handing in your paper early." The female teacher seemed surprised by this remark, her expression stiffening for a moment.
“Yes.” Jiang Liyue nodded firmly. “Teacher, look, I have finished my test paper and checked it twice.”
The female teacher took her test paper, imprinted a red handprint on it, and nodded with satisfaction: "What an obedient and good student."
There was even a hint of kindness in those empty eyes.
Jiang Liyue guessed that this was probably the effect of the "ghost-attracting halo".
[Turns out this little human is a top student, beautiful, kind-hearted, and excels in both character and academics. What flaws does my wife have?]
I know she probably needs me.
"Teacher, can I go out now?" Jiang Liyue asked.
"Okay, just go to the Academic Affairs Office at 11 o'clock to pick up the class assignment results." The female teacher explained the details to her clearly, "Don't go to the wrong place, it's the Academic Affairs Office on the first floor."
"Yes, thank you, teacher." Jiang Liyue looked like a model student, gazing kindly at the intimidating-looking female teacher. "I really hope I can be assigned to your class."
The female teacher was even happier, her already rotting skin drooping as she laughed. "Alright, now get out of here."
Jiang Liyue seemed not to notice, and praised her with a smile: "Teacher, you look so beautiful when you smile, you should smile more often!"
"Really? Really?" The female teacher touched her face in surprise.
"Of course." Jiang Liyue nodded firmly, her tone sincere and without any hint of pretense.
Meanwhile, the other players in the classroom who were secretly observing fell silent as they looked at the female teacher's ferocious face, which revealed a gaping maw when she smiled.
So the reason they're disliked by the supernatural is because they can't lie through their teeth...
