Chapter 29 "College Student" There was a very gentle person who was in charge of...
In Zhong Jun's view, these six people were destined to be unable to leave after their intrusion.
Jian Zijin, he's the same.
Zhong Jun naturally classified it as her pet and even brought clothes for her dying junior, Jian.
This outfit wasn't the black and white school uniform required by the school; instead, it was a light yellow pullover hoodie and sky blue sweatpants, which Zhong Jun brought from out of town when she was a freshman in college.
Two people who aren't close can borrow each other's underwear to improve their relationship, and it's convenient for him...
Take advantage of the younger student.
If Jian Zijin knew that her senior cared about her for "credits," she would probably be stubborn without any attempt to hide it.
That kind of despicable behavior can be summed up in one sentence: I'm not happy about it, and I'm not afraid of you, my senior. Get lost.
Zhong Yun's teeth itched just thinking about it.
Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, Zhong Yun caught sight of a red plastic mirror on the table, and for some reason, she felt an intense loathing for the face reflected in it.
It turns out that he didn't dislike living; he was trapped in the Yin Crown and had forgotten what he looked like as a normal person who liked people.
The person in the lower bunk is named Jian Zijin.
But even sleeping makes this junior schoolmate angry. Look at how tightly the buttons on his neck are covered, not to mention the beautiful red lotus birthmark on his back, even his Adam's apple is hidden.
He wanted to see more but couldn't see everything, and Senior Zhong looked annoyed. Why did this flamboyant young man on the bed act like an old cadre?
There was a knock at the door. A girl with long, straight black hair stood outside, holding a washbasin. Zhong Jun sat on the edge of her junior's bed, covering Jian Zijin's ears with her hands. Jian Zijin, supported by Zhong Jun in her arms, looked up and listened intently to hear who it was.
Yang Xiaohong asked the NPC in her eyes, "Dormitory head? Zijing? Are you asleep?"
Zhong Jun raised an eyebrow.
She's the gentlest of the girls.
I really wanted to play a prank and say that Zijing was drooling under her senior, but sorry, junior, we've already dealt with it internally.
Senior Zhong felt a little embarrassed to be jealous, but he was also curious about why the girl wasn't staying in her own dorm.
Unaware of the situation, Yang Xiaohong continued, "...Zijin, I have to confess to you, I...actually have some tools on me that could help me get out of the school. Through my observation, I've also discovered that each of us here is taking on the responsibility of replacing someone else."
“I’ve checked. There are five people involved in that murder case related to feng shui. Apart from you, their age, background, and identity match the five of us we are now.”
"So, the way to leave the school is to investigate the murder case in room 404 of Chongli University's male dormitory. Maybe we can find the murderer and escape together."
The girl's plan left Zhong Yun expressionless.
As soon as it got dark, Zhong Yun's face started to itch again.
The reflection from the round dormitory mirror concealed the mysterious demonic aura on his face, but it also made him see Jian Zijing's body as if he were facing a sumptuous feast.
The Painted Skin Ghost is the kind of ghost in Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio who fills a box with the faces of beautiful women. But forgetting that he has a blue face and fangs is foolish for a Painted Skin Ghost. What can he find to nourish himself?
Did you go out to eat with Yang Xiaohong?
The commotion is too great, and the place is a mess. Jian Zijing will probably discover her true colors.
Perhaps he needs to go back, change his skin, and come out again.
He forced himself not to eat the second female lead and looked down at Jian Dieda in his arms.
The senior is only doing this because of you, kid.
Don't even mention the six of you; even the crows from Chongli University wouldn't be able to escape if they flew in.
Zhong Jun was extremely annoyed. The girl outside the door was like a caring older sister, leaving him with no choice but to either kill her or be driven mad by jealousy.
Fortunately, Yang Xiaohong knocked on the door and used one sentence to prove Jian Zijin's and her own innocence: "I didn't mean anything else, but mainly boys shouldn't believe bad men when they go out. They're all liars. We sisters... no, no, we classmates should join forces to resist and stay away from... 'senior'."
Zhong Jun also heard Yang Xiaohong say, "Zijin, when you stood between me and Xie Xiaomei and said you wanted to be a woman, I knew that you and we had the same sexual orientation. But no matter how handsome the senior is, he is still our enemy for now. This is my advice to you."
What a wonderful phrase, "Sisters are more important than anything else!" Jian Zijing, it seems your girlish heart wasn't wasted. Are you happy or surprised?
Indeed, in this world where diplomas determine social status, college students are a vibrant spark, always daring to think and act, and loving freedom.
However, the branch campus is a closed-off, one-way prison.
The word "student council" in this context sounds like "student sacrifice council."
The students, trapped in the rules of delayed graduation, CET-4 and CET-6, and campus recruitment, have lost their humanity. There is another meaning to this, which only someone like Zhong Jun, a third-year student, can understand.
[What time is it, Mr. Wolf?]
Five o'clock.
The system update came after that college student's alternate account logged off. The installation package took three hours to install, and it's five o'clock now.
The new system allows users to create their own virtual avatars.
Jian Dieda glanced at it and thought, "As expected of the 'Overnight Champion System,' all the official avatars are bald, or have bald patches, alopecia areata, or are completely bald, even the female players are the same."
In summary, it's impossible for someone who plays this game to go out with perfectly healthy hair.
Jian Dieda is currently watching the content from the previous high-dimensional ghost stories group and the silent replay live stream.
【Five Thousand Years of Strange Tales from China (99999)】
[Live Stream Learning Dimension: "University Student"]
[Number of Players: 6]
[Story progress: 13%]
[Position: Dormitory Head]
Li Xiaojun and Wang Xiaoming are both so annoying.
The senior student in the student life department looks just like me. Am I that scary?
Watching them work makes me want to laugh; going to school really is like going to a funeral.
The school is shaped like a Bagua (a Chinese symbol), which makes me feel like a murder could happen at any moment.
[Hoping they'll become part of the ghost stories.]
—The above are the comments from the live stream when the first act of the Chongli Ghost School was performed.
The group of commenters in the high-ranking ghost story group helped Jane Dieda once in the previous world. Jane Dieda always turned off the group notifications or only remembered this later.
After returning to reality, he could no longer enter the all-nighter system. The cat-faced old lady and the Chengdu zombies seemed unaware that the 'little policeman' was just a player who started a story at 3 a.m. and could endlessly enter the game in the real world.
Now that he has logged into the game with a new identity as a 'college student,' the case in dormitory 404 once again needs outside help.
He started searching for them on the chat software using the two strings of numbers that hadn't changed in his memory.
"System: User search results are 0."
Why?
I'm not mistaken.
Did the cat-faced old lady and the Chengdu zombie not connect to the second dimension?
How exactly do people from different dimensions find each other's ghost stories?
Jian Dieda recalled the 'narrator' who guided him to drink the Meng Po soup. What memories did the 'narrator' make him lose? How come so many important clues disappeared along with it?
Before I could think it through, the rulebook for the second act appeared before me.
[2-2, The dormitory head (host)'s task is to assign roles for the next scene's reenactment each night. The following are the player role assignments for the second scene: rural kid, city kid, top student, underachiever, thief. The second nighttime campus battle royale will include a crime scene recreation.]
The main clues to solving the case have finally arrived.
“Master, do I need to assign these roles to five players before dawn?” Jane Dieda asked.
"Yes, the host may require you to work through the night to complete this, and there will be overtime pay..."
Jane Dieder: "How many?"
System: "Talking about money hurts feelings, I hope you get some rest."
Jian Dieda rarely acted so domineeringly: "Little vixen, I'm cold and can't sleep alone. Why don't you come and keep me company?"
System: "You can be self-sufficient, and I can censor the entire process for you."
…………
The deceitful system is infuriating its master again.
Jian Dieda looked at his left hand. Feeling truly lonely, he didn't do that. Instead, he scratched his precariously thinning hair and continued doing his job as the host, distributing scripts to everyone.
However, he could not only see the perspectives of all five players, but also the various judgments made by the 'audience' towards the five players. Among them were many curses. Jian Dieda thought of his previous experience of being cursed, so he simply clicked on them one by one and sorted out the coherent plot in his mind.
Based on the current clues...
The only thing Jane could come up with was a murder that had occurred at Chong Li University.
Zhong, the former dormitory head of room 404, is a missing person, a suspect, and the murderer identified by the police.
The two witnesses identified were security guard Ma Dazhuang and dormitory manager Liu Cuihua.
Even the school has been saying this for years...
After sorting out this line of events, Jian Dieda still insisted on his original point of view: "The dormitory murder is not simple, and there are sacrificial phenomena related to the Five Elements and Feng Shui behind it."
Thump.
The school's official seal slammed down.
Two old case photos immediately appeared on the panel, indicating that the reasoning route was correct and the plot progress, which had not changed significantly, had been updated.
Strangely, the first piece of evidence was a bizarre blue-covered alchemy manual.
It briefly describes a story of an ancient emperor praying for immortality.
According to legend, the king sought the elixir of immortality by sacrificing five-colored animals, and only then did he obtain the secret method.
Jane suddenly remembered the background story.
As mentioned at the beginning, Jia Zhengyi, the first president of Chongli University, was a fanatical follower of Chinese Yi Jing (Book of Changes). He not only built a feng shui sculpture called Yinmian, but also believed that the sacrificial culture in the feudal system was of great research value. His actions may have led to countless unsolved mysteries on both campuses...
Jane Dieder made the right bet.
The second piece of evidence that came out was a fragment of a campus newspaper from that time.
It contains a lot of campus news from 2000.
There was a case of a group of people being possessed by evil spirits during the exam.
There was a hanging in the basketball court.
A pregnant female student drowned in a lotus pond.
There are also high-resolution photos of a mysterious cat abuser hanging cat skins downstairs in a dormitory building.
The school administration office instructed everyone to give it the cold shoulder.
Ironically, the largest page in this issue of the newspaper was dedicated to the following header.
Student union officers actively collected several small electrical appliances and were awarded a first-class scholarship.
Jian Dieda remained silent, then looked at the audience's opinions.
[Confiscating small appliances is more important than human lives; this school truly is a ghost town.]
[This is chilling, scarier than any horror movie. Do these skulls who call themselves teachers have any humanity left?]
Is it too late for them to escape?
Indeed, today you take pride in Chongli, and tomorrow Chongli will take pride in you.
Are there really any normal people living here?
Coincidentally, Jian Dieda happened to see the name of an acquaintance from his senior year.
The newspaper published a list of scholarship recipients, and the first place winner was an interview with Zhong Jun, an outstanding student from our school.
The content was roughly about the opening ceremony of the sports meet, where Zhong Yun won the grand prize in the 1,000-meter race, vertical jump, and 4x100-meter relay.
In addition, there is the touching story of senior student Zhong Yun who, instead of improving his own meals, donated money, wrote letters to the post office, and anonymously helped many children.
I hope to be recognized, to act uprightly, to maintain a proper lifestyle, and to strive to learn from those who are noble.
—Zhong Jun, Department of Law
There is another message at the end, addressed to all teachers and students of the school.
[To my unforgettable youth and my roommates in room 404.]
[Li Jinjun, Wang Muming, Zhang Shuijun, Jiang Yanrui.]
The system didn't say anything.
Jian Dieda suddenly felt that he had obtained the key to unlocking the next round of the case, but his behavior was also very much like that of a mystical feng shui master:
"Metal...Wood...Water...Fire..."
Sure enough, the names of the four people who died were very strange. They were missing the character "土" (earth), which corresponds to the five colors in the Five Elements.
No, it does contain the character for "earth". Just add the "earth" from the character "筠" and it will be perfect.
Is Zhong Yun still alive? What exactly happened between Zhong Yun and the other four people of 'Gold, Wood, Water, and Fire' back then?
Jane Dieda scanned the victims. The head of the living department had been corrupted by demons, and even if there were survivors, they were definitely not human. At the moment, the only thing that caught Jane Dieda's eye was a picture in the newspaper that served as a clue.
The painting is called "Sacrifice".
Strangely enough, a piece of paper laid flat gives one a sense of oppression, as if being spied on; it is blank, devoid of mountains, rivers, or any living creatures.
I've only heard rumors that it was one of the pieces of evidence at the scene of the 404 murder case, and it's also a standard decoration that can be found in the corridors of every dormitory room in the old campus.
Later, the painting disappeared.
The author is Jia Zhengyi, the president of Chongli University.
The next day, the six freshmen woke up, each with their own terrifying discoveries.
When I arrived at the small location requested by my senior.
Wang Xiaoming excitedly told them, gesturing wildly, "Did you hear that?! A ghost really came last night!! A big-headed weirdo dressed as a dormitory aunt jumped over it!! It happened in the middle of the night!"
“Yes, yes… I hid under the covers and didn’t dare to make a sound…” Li Xiaojun chimed in, “But I heard… someone knocking on the door, like someone was banging their head against it.”
Zhang Xiaojun said, "...She also said that she was there to check the dorms, that her surname was Liu, and that her blood-red mouth looked like a big winnowing basket when it was open..."
As they spoke, goosebumps rose again, and the two girls could tell from their expressions that they had encountered similar situations.
The difference is that they claimed to have seen a skeleton security guard.
Jian Dieda was surprised when he heard this. He crossed his arms, thought for a few seconds, and then told his teammates, "I also encountered something strange, but it's different from what you guys experienced."
What is it?
The expressionless junior student, Jian, attracted everyone's curious gazes. Just then, two senior students arrived from a short distance away. The male college student, who was putting on an aloof demeanor, pointed to his clothes and said, "There is such a kind person who cares about me even more than the dormitory supervisor and security guard. He was afraid I would be cold, so he gave me some clothes."
Zhong Yun paused, her ears turning bright red.

Author's Note: Hahahaha, Jianzi, don't praise me too much, my senior is getting cocky!
