However, this dormitory was different from the ones Zhang Baye had seen in other Chosen Ones' livestreams. It wasn't a four-person room, but a three-person room, and the upper bunk of one of the beds had simply disappeared. Although Ghost Village Middle School did have a similar rule: "[Beds without occupants will be reassigned to new students]", the rule stated that it was about changing roommates, not about dismantling the beds!
Just as Zhang Baye was completely confused, he saw a fluffy white head struggling to squeeze into the small door of the dormitory.
"Sister Cat?" Zhang Baye recognized the familiar cat head at a glance. "Where are we?"
The cat didn't say much. It took a while to squeeze the whole cat inside, and it pulled a student ID card out of its fur and handed it to her. The name on the card read "Hellfire".
Zhang Baye fell silent: "Sister Cat, why didn't you shrink down before coming in?"
The cat said, "...I forgot."
I plopped down on the small bed without an upper bunk, and the cat's head was almost touching the ceiling. The whole room was almost filled with the cat's white fur.
Got it, the top bunk was removed so that Cat Sister would have a place to stay.
Zhang Baye had a general idea of what was going on. Sure enough, the cat started talking again: "You've really gotten yourself into big trouble. Lord Shuten-dōji is probably very angry. There might even be wanted posters for us outside. So we can only hide here at Ghost Village Middle School for now. Don't worry, as long as we attend classes, eat, and sleep properly every day, we'll be safe after a week. Once Lord Shuten-dōji's anger subsides, he shouldn't waste too much demonic power fighting us to the death."
“Oh…” Zhang Baye didn’t ask any more questions. After all, the cat demon was a veteran native of the ghost realm, so going with her was definitely the right thing to do.
This supernatural dungeon is both safe and unsafe. It's safe because there's a stable start where you can live a stable life as long as you build good relationships. It's unsafe because, ultimately, it's a world of rules where you can't settle down for long.
Ghost Village Middle School is a great place to kill time, but only if your passive talent [Hellfire] isn't kicked out by that eight-foot-tall man in a fit of rage after it's triggered.
