Chapter 35
Gossip is human nature. For the first time, Xu Chengji didn't even care about the audience and couldn't wait to read all the sections of the campus newspaper.
I remember the beta testers in the barrage were all yelling:
[Show me! Show me!]
[I want to watch the one where she kills her husband to prove her point, ahhhh so dramatic!]
[Why is Dean Li being exploited by the president? Why? Why? ]
[Look at the list of the top ten dangerous and strange domains. This is the most important thing! I'm going to enter the game in a few days, just in case I step on a landmine!]
Xu Chengji finished reading it, still unsatisfied, and unfolded the newspaper towards the live broadcast panel: "Look, look, this will cost you a human skin. Don't say that you, Brother Ji, don't spoil your fans in the future."
But the barrage was filled with exclamation marks and question marks.
Why can't I see it? Apart from the headline, the text is only a mosaic!
【I also! 】
【I also! ! 】
[Why can't I watch it?! Streamer, please check if you have enabled any privacy settings for the live stream!]
Xu Chengji was filled with questions. He checked the live broadcast panel as instructed and then gave a positive answer: "I don't have any privacy mode turned on."
【How about you tell it orally? 】
Xu Chengji tried to orally recite the content of the article about killing her husband to prove her faith.
[It collapsed, and all I heard was a beeping sound]
[Why are you still muting it? Can't you afford Nightmare University?!]
[It seems we have to go to the school in person to see the full contents of the school newspaper. Haha, it's just a marketing trick. I won't be fooled.]
It was only then that Xu Chengji discovered that the number of people in his live broadcast room had somehow risen to 369, and the number of real-time viewers was still increasing.
Wow, Brother Ji is really good at live streaming games!
[Anchor, you can't tell me what the story about the murderer in the campus newspaper is about, but you can at least give me a hint!]
Xu Chengji saw it, but pretended not to see it.
Those who do live broadcasts are just looking for traffic. They can't just let the audience see whatever they want to see. They have to leave some suspense and gimmicks, otherwise the audience will run away.
So Xu Chengji walked forward while talking about other things, deliberately not getting to the point: "This nightmare campus newspaper is really interesting. The weirdos in the school actually submitted articles. I don't know who that professor with bad taste in clothes they're talking about is. I really want to see how good he is..."
Suddenly, a figure appeared in his sight. Xu Chengji glanced over there inadvertently, and the words on his lips stopped abruptly.
"Holy crap!" Xu Chengji couldn't help but curse, his eyes glued to the man: "Is that an NPC too? The modeling is so beautiful!!"
【???】
[Is it really that beautiful? I don't believe it unless you show it to me.]
[Don't change the subject, the husband-killing preacher! I want to hear the husband-killing preacher! ]
"Really!" Xu Chengji turned the camera manually, his voice filled with suppressed excitement: "See for yourself!"
The camera panned, and the man Xu Chengji had mentioned quickly appeared. The sun was shining brightly, filtering through the trees and casting dappled shadows on him. His dark hair was slightly curly, and he walked through the hazy light and shadow. The half-profile of his face and the exposed neck were so white they seemed to glow.
From the angle of the camera, the man's figure is tall and slender, the dark red shirt has a low-key silky texture, both arms are wearing cuffs, and the black vest outlines the beautiful lines of the waist and shoulders, making the shoulders look broader and the legs longer.
Just a back view is enough to make people unable to take their eyes away. Some people just need to appear there and they will naturally exude a temptation that breeds desire.
After a long while, the barrage of comments began to appear again in the live broadcast room.
[Although I haven't seen her face, I'd bet my entire life on her marriage. She's definitely a stunning beauty!]
[It's so beautiful, like a dream. Is this heaven? I think I saw the goddess of beauty.]
[What are you doing standing there, host? Hurry up and catch up!]
[Uh, am I the only one who thinks this silhouette looks familiar?]
[To be honest, I also think it's impossible. This university is called Nightmare University, not H University.]
Xu Chengji saw these two comments and was a little confused: "What are you guys keeping me in suspense? I don't understand. What's H-level? Do you know this NPC?"
When the beta testers in the barrage heard this, they were shocked. Comments poured out like a tide, and they frantically recommended Professor Bai Yueguang, the best professor in the world, to Xu Chengji.
Xu Chengji was stunned. He was not a beta tester and had never experienced such a profound death, so he had no other feelings except regret and emotion.
But he still analyzed: "Maybe it really is the Professor Cen you are talking about? H University can definitely change its name to Nightmare University."
"How about I go over and help you guys take a look? Remember to give me a like."
The live broadcast system has not yet opened a reward mechanism, and all you can do is like it. As soon as Xu Chengji finished saying this, he saw the likes in his live broadcast room rising wildly at a terrifying speed, which scared Xu Chengji.
Looking at the real-time number of viewers, it has soared to 2,306! I don’t know where these beta testers came from.
It seems that the beta test players really love Professor Cen.
Xu Chengji sighed in his heart, then took a step forward under the urging of the barrage, and ran madly to catch up with the figure.
"Hello!" Xu Chengji greeted weakly, and the man actually stopped and looked at him.
Only then did Xu Chengji see his face clearly.
The excessive beauty occupied Xu Chengji's entire vision at that moment. It turned out that humans really would feel suffocated when seeing something too beautiful. For a moment, Xu Chengji couldn't even speak, and could only stare at the other person blankly.
It wasn't until the man asked calmly, "Which college are you from?" that Xu Chengji suddenly came to his senses and subconsciously answered obediently, "I, I'm a student from the College of Humanities, majoring in linguistics."
Wow, the sound is so nice! Who wouldn’t be confused by this?
The man has a pair of amber eyes, and at first glance, he looks cold, cruel and inhuman, but if you look closely, you will feel that it is just an illusion. He is so handsome and his voice is so gentle, how could he possibly hurt people?
Xu Chengji heard him say calmly, "Well, linguistics will also include courses related to folklore. You should have a class with me tomorrow afternoon, so remember not to be late."
Such a normal interaction made Xu Chengji dazed for a moment, feeling as if he were in a real campus. He replied blankly, "Ah? Oh, okay! So, are you a professor of folklore?"
The man nodded slightly, the corners of his lips raised: "My last name is Cen."
When he smiled like that, Xu Chengji, a straight man, felt his heartbeat quicken inexplicably, and even his face began to radiate heat. "Professor Cen, thank you for your reminder. I will be on time for class."
Professor Cen glanced at him, as if he saw his embarrassment, raised his eyebrows slightly, but said nothing, and walked away calmly.
This time Xu Chengji didn't follow. He looked at Professor Cen's back with a complicated look. They had only talked for less than two minutes, but he felt like his head was turning into a paste. If he went to Professor Cen's class tomorrow, would the knowledge really enter his brain?
Rubbing his face and barely regaining some consciousness, Xu Chengji muttered, "My friends, it's not that I'm not trying hard enough. You weren't there, so you have no idea how stunning Professor Cen is in person. With this look, I swear there's no star in the entire entertainment industry who can match it!"
As Xu Chengji was speaking, he realized something was wrong: "What did he just say his last name was, and what did he teach?"
Looking at the barrage again, the screen was already full of exclamation marks.
In fact, from the moment Cen Xun's face appeared on camera, the entire comment section was overwhelmed.
[Oh my god!!! My deceased wife is really resurrected! ]
[My wife, my wife, my wife, sob, sob]
Ahhhh (making monkey noises) (swinging on the tree)
[After my rebirth, my wife is still as beautiful as ever. I can die with my eyes closed.]
After a huge amount of meaningless screen-sweeping, some viewers finally regained some sanity:
[No, why would Teacher Cen appear at Nightmare University? Did H University really change its name?]
Am I the only one who noticed this? Teacher Cen is still a professor. What does this mean? It means he didn't win against the principal in the end! He lost.
[You are not allowed to say that Teacher Cen lost! It was clearly because the principal was too strong and we were too weak to help him.]
[Stop talking, I'm going to Nightmare University now! I don't know if my wife still recognizes my mom, so Teacher Cen must be weird now. Damn this game, why did they treat him like this!]
[You definitely don't remember, right? Teacher Cen once tried so hard to protect his students, but now he has to become a monster. It's really sad that the dragon slayer finally becomes the evil dragon.]
Xu Chengji read all the comments, and then thought of Professor Cen who had just left. For a moment, he felt infinitely sad.
When he first learned about Professor Cen's deeds, he had no feelings at all. It was not until he saw Professor Cen in person that the legendary beauty, strength, and pale moonlight suddenly became concrete.
Seeing Professor Lian Cen's leaving figure, Xu Chengji now inexplicably tasted a sense of loneliness and desolation.
Oh, this is too
Xu Chengji sighed and comforted the beta testers in the live broadcast room.
Many beta testers have already expressed their intention to enter the "Nightmare University" dungeon to find Cen Xun. Regardless of whether they enter or not, they will be forcibly pulled into the game after seven days, so it is better to choose a dungeon they are more familiar with.
Besides, the "Nightmare University" copy itself is very interesting. The most important thing is that it doesn't look very dangerous, and it's even quite down-to-earth. Some internal test players watched the live broadcast and thought it was fun, so they just came in to experience it themselves.
Of course, there weren't many brave players. Most were scared off by the beta test and preferred to play it safe, so they didn't rush into Nightmare University. But these players wanted to see Cen Xun, so what could they do? They could only like the streamer and ask him to attend Cen Xun's class.
Xu Chengji was a little hesitant. He actually wanted to explore the dormitory building first. Besides, it would be boring to keep live streaming the class, and he might even lose viewers.
So he pretended to say that he would not go until he got 5,000 likes. What he didn't expect was that this group of beta test players actually gave him 5,000 likes.
Seeing the live broadcast system background reminding him that his live broadcast room had ranked ninth on the live broadcast popularity list, Xu Chengji was very satisfied. He kept his promise and set out on the road to the classroom.
Along the way, Xu Chengji encountered a teaching building without a fourth floor, a girl asking for help at the toilet door, and green slime sticking to him with every step. After a lot of twists and turns, he finally managed to find the lecture hall where Cen Xun was before the bell rang.
Probably because today was the first day of the open day, not many players chose the Nightmare University dungeon. Xu Chengji sat down by the window in the last row, took a quick look, and identified a dozen players based on their expressions and actions.
"I wonder what the content of the class is?" Xu Cheng rested his chin on his hand and jokingly said to the live camera, "You can't really teach me an introduction to folklore, right?"
Just then, the school bell rang. It was the very common school bell song "Für Alice", but the barrage of comments was full of [scared], [PDST committed], and [quickly turned off the volume].
Xu Chengji didn’t understand. Wasn’t it just a normal school bell?
At this moment, there was a fluttering sound suddenly coming from outside the window. Xu Chengji turned his head and found a very strange black and white bird perched outside the window. As if it noticed Xu Chengji's gaze, it knocked on the glass with its sharp beak, tilted its head and looked at him with glass-like eyes, as if signaling him to open the window.
As if possessed by some mysterious force, Xu Chengji actually opened the window and let the bird in.
The black and white bird hopped in with its wings folded. Xu Chengji then discovered that it had downy tail coverts, also dotted with black and white, dragging long behind it, almost as long as the bird's body.
Not only that, the bird's crest was also very strange, hanging down from its neck like a drapery feather, and the color became whiter as it approached the end. Xu Chengji was curious and wanted to reach out and touch it, but the bird hopped to the side and nimbly avoided him. I don't know if it was Xu Chengji's illusion, but he seemed to see disgust on the bird's face.
"The student sitting by the window in the last row"
A cold voice brought Xu Chengji back to his senses. The direction in that sentence was so clear that Xu Chengji knew it was calling him.
Xu Chengji looked up and saw Professor Cen looking at him coldly: "Don't bring strange things into the classroom."
Xu Chengji shuddered at the coldness in that gaze, and subconsciously grabbed the bird on the table, trying to stuff it back out the window.
But the bird was surprisingly agile. It twisted its body, jumped out from under his palm, and then fluttered to the blades of the large fan above.
Under inertia, the large fan began to rotate slightly, and the bird stood on the fan blades, looking at the whole audience, and did not move.
Under Professor Cen's deathly gaze, Xu Chengji was sweating profusely.
He shouldn't have done that.
Damn, he wouldn't put anything bad in there!
Fortunately, Professor Cen didn't say anything else, and didn't even pay attention to the bird. He turned his back and continued to write on the blackboard. The bird didn't move either, and just kept spinning along with the fan blades, like some kind of display doll that had lost its soul.
Xu Chengji: ""
Barrage: [My wife seems to be angry, but there is a unique charm in being angry (wiping saliva)]
【Hey, teacher, come and slap me】
[Shut up! This slap is for Teacher Cen's husband. Don't you remember that Teacher Cen has a husband?]
[Come to think of it, when Mr. Cen was writing with chalk just now, I didn’t seem to see his wedding ring.]
[I have a guess, that the one who killed her husband to prove her faith, maybe, possibly]
[Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Teacher Cen loves me so much, the principal must have accidentally knocked the wedding ring off!]
What on earth is that bird? From what Teacher Cen said, it seems dangerous.
After that, Xu Chengji didn't listen to the class at all, but just focused on looking at the bird.
The reason was simple: the bird was just too animated! Every time Professor Cen turned around, it would scurry forward toward the podium like a freaking statue.
But Xu Chengji's attention was soon drawn back to the classroom, because he suddenly discovered that the folklore class was actually teaching how to draw talismans!
Who, as a child, didn't fantasize about drawing talismans to exorcise demons? Xu Chengji grabbed his brush and went to work! When he looked up again, he saw the bird had actually leaped onto the podium. Professor Cen's face was expressionless. He calmly snatched the mouse from its claws and casually placed the newly drawn bad luck talisman on its forehead.
The bird immediately jumped back. Perhaps it was the bad luck charm that took effect, but it suddenly tripped and tumbled off the podium.
Xu Chengji: ""
I don't know why, but I always feel like something is a little weird.
The class ended with ups and downs.
Xu Chengji found that attending class was still a bit dangerous. For example, students who did not follow the class rules would be chopped into pieces by a large rotating electric fan that fell from the sky. The cinnabar used to draw talismans had to be wiped off in time, otherwise it would corrode the fingers. Calling the roll was also a dangerous part. If you couldn't answer a question, you would be deducted credits if you were lucky, but you would be thrown chalk if you were unlucky.
Once hit by a piece of chalk, even if the person has an IQ of 20 and becomes stupid, there is a high probability that he will violate the class discipline and be strangled by the electric fan above his head.
When Xu Chengji walked out of the classroom with the newly drawn bad luck talisman, he let out a long breath, looked back, and saw the black and white bird standing on the podium, silently staring at Professor Cen who was packing up his lesson plans.
Speaking of violating class discipline, this guy has committed so many violations in one class, and he has not been punished. The truth is obvious.
This must be the bird that Professor Cen raised himself!
Cen Xun didn't know what others were thinking. He packed up his things and walked out of the classroom without even pausing, ignoring the wild bird that had sneaked into the school from somewhere.
This is the second big class in the morning. After the class, students usually go to the cafeteria to eat. Now there are few people in the teaching building.
Cen Xun walked to the corridor, and among the single footsteps, there was suddenly another person's footsteps.
"Cen Xun, how long are you going to ignore me?"
A familiar low voice came from behind. Cen Xun paused and turned around. The young man with long black and white hair came into his sight.
The hair color had changed, and the face was more handsome than I remembered.
Everything has changed, but the way she looks at him hasn't changed.
"Let's chat?" The young man walked forward, pursed his lips and looked down at him. A stream of air rose from his black double-breasted windbreaker and brushed across Cen Xun's fingertips.
Cen Xun looked at him indifferently, raised the corners of his lips without emotion, and said with a sarcastic tone: "Sir, do we know each other?"
