Chapter 26, "College Students," features a second-rate man wearing a Chinese-style red-eyed fox mask...
To those outside of Jane Dieda
The senior's breed is truly frightening.
But Jian Dieda found the most terrifying thing to be that seemingly innocent and romantic campus dormitory check game; it was definitely not a simple game of make-believe...
Furthermore, how can someone who looks like a two-meter-tall monster mutated by pollution be a college student? How many points would he have scored on the college entrance exam in his hometown back then?
The system tells the host that the senior has quite a background.
[System Prompt]
[Student Leader Number One: ???]
Department: Food Science
[Position: Head of the Student Life Department, Student Secretary in the Office of Director Zhang Congming of the School Affairs Office.]
Age: 22
[Year of Study: Junior]
[College Entrance Examination Score: 6th in the province, 5th in university admission.]
[Credits: Four years of credits have been completed]
[Motto: ① If you don't work hard when you're young, you'll regret it when you're old. ② Today I am proud of Chongli, tomorrow Chongli will be proud of me.]
[Daily student work responsibilities include: dormitory safety at night, maintaining order in the cafeteria queues, and investigating inappropriate male-female (male-male) relationships.]
Jane was amazed.
This domestic university, established in 2002, is not only homophobic, but also discriminates against heterosexuals? Both boys and girls are adults, why can't they date?
Perhaps, there is an assumption.
The school has such a rule.
The local students can't resist, but the players can?
Ghost stories feature ghosts, some of whom are black-hearted ghosts in human skin. Is Chongli University like that too?
Jane Dieder guessed correctly.
A ding-dong sound came from the depths of the black fog.
[Congratulations on triggering the "School Rules"! You are awarded 2 credits. We are now displaying the five school rules of Chongli University to help you lead your roommates in a protest against the school administration and student union. Each time you enter a new scene, the corresponding map's storyline will be unlocked.]
Chongli's Suicide-Style School Rules:
1. Freshmen work for the student council for free. [To be unlocked]
2. University students also have to do morning exercises in winter. [To be unlocked]
3. The cafeteria is privately run by a relative of the principal; the food is terrible, there's hardly any food, and it's expensive. [To be unlocked]
4. The failure fee is fifty yuan per credit. [To be unlocked]
5. The lewd old professor's groping and the mystery of the soaring college student suicide rate in 1999. [To be unlocked]
“The rules…” Jian Dieda felt a strange unease. “They’re so unreasonable. Is there any way to deal with this ‘senior’?”
Jian, the junior student, stood there pondering this question. He looked at the monster and couldn't deny that he was a little annoyed by its ugly face.
Jian Dieda sincerely exclaimed, "It's impossible for men to be gay at our school, and it's absolutely impossible for upperclassmen and underclassmen to be gay as well."
Quickly forcing himself to organize his thoughts, the junior student, who had sealed his heart and locked away his love, tried to think about what to do next.
The host was responsible for the lives of the five players.
This instance seems to focus more on gameplay than crime-solving.
He must quickly gather his thoughts, devise a plan, and kill the monster (senior) in the school.
Unlike a local police officer, this obviously requires a lot of patience and planning. Because once you take the first step, you have to strike decisively.
His teammates were chatting at that moment.
"Is this sense of immersion real?" Xie Xiaomei asked, looking at the panel. "This instance completely replicates the school's model, but why do I feel even more creeped out?"
Yang Xiaohong said, "Well, I still feel like we... didn't come here to study... we came here to visit graves... This school seems normal in every way, but I can sense that something is wrong..."
But the current situation seems to leave no way out.
The human eye pointer on the crown did not show any sign of moving.
Should they approach them and start a conversation, or just run away?
At the critical moment, a seasoned player sent by the system is tasked with helping ordinary players navigate the main storyline of the horror game.
"Excuse me, are you really our senior?"
The system's public chat and health regeneration time was exactly one minute. Jian Dieda pretended not to see the monster's gaping maw and said, "We haven't even found a dormitory since we came to Chongli. What kind of dormitory are you checking now? Is there really a dormitory building here? Why don't you just send us back to the main campus?"
Everyone just nodded like chickens pecking at rice.
Senior Fu Su's pupils suddenly came to life in the darkness. This demonized monster did not attack the six people first. It slowly observed the male lead, the second male lead, the female lead, and so on. Well, not to mention the physical qualities of the other five people, Jian Dieda, who took the initiative to be the first to step forward, was too weak. He had no manly qualities at all. His stubborn look made him just a bookworm.
The senior student, his breath reeking of blood, said, "Students, the director sent me here to handle this matter. You will have a dormitory with... excellent feng shui, where the five elements are in harmony. Without exception, every student who moves in will receive a scholarship, be recommended for university, and be pursued by the school's most beautiful and handsome students, hehe."
...We believe in your ghosts!
No one cares whether people believe it or not.
The senior student made Yin Mian move.
First, it was midnight.
Then one of the eyes on the clock face opened.
In an instant, under the blood moon, the red light belonging to Chongli Ghost School slowly enveloped the area, and a dormitory building that shouldn't exist appeared out of thin air in the dormitory area.
They froze, too stunned to move.
The male and female players immediately banded together for warmth, thinking, "There were clearly no buildings there before, right?"
Jian Dieda discovered that the newly appeared dormitory was a feng shui location, and the position of this trigram was exactly in the center of the school's Bagua diagram. It seemed that the dormitory and the senior were bound together.
A new challenge has now arrived, the system explained.
[2-2, Chongli University's dormitory check game: Old Wolf, Old Wolf, what time is it?]
The rules of this game are what Jian Dieda and others are talking about.
He clicked on it, and the feng shui compass emitted the sound of a mechanism lock, transforming into a lotus-shaped notification card.
[1. To welcome the new students and cultivate their overall qualities, the school and student union have decided to conduct dormitory checks every night through patrols.]
[2. Senior students will appear in the dormitory building every day. When junior students come out of the dormitory and meet the senior students, they can ask them: "Old Wolf, Old Wolf, what time is it?" Each time they encounter the senior students, a corresponding scene and plot will be triggered, unlocking a story card related to the creation of the school.]
[3. Before midnight, senior students can only issue tasks and deduct credits from the six of you; they cannot eliminate you. Once it gets dark, students must immediately return to their dormitories. At this time, senior students will also begin chasing down any junior students who do not follow the rules. Note: At midnight, senior students can enter any dormitory room.]
Having roughly memorized the rules, Jian Dieda distributed them to his teammates in the name of the host.
Faced with such absurd and terrifying game rules and NPC characters, the five players, about to face mixed dormitory life, were ashen-faced, placing all their hopes on what lay ahead.
Li Xiaojun said in frustration, "The dormitory head is an NPC assigned by the system, so he must have a way to help the players pass the level... It's all our fault for offending him just now... This will definitely lower the NPC's favorability."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoming's pupils turned blood red. He trembled as he tried to defend himself but had no room for rebuttal. Ever since the ghost senior from the student life department arrived, he, who prided himself on being incredibly brave, had reached the point where his language system was about to collapse. He was so scared that he would wet his pants at any moment because of a single sentence from the senior.
He glanced at Jane Dieda.
Wang Xiaoming gritted his teeth strangely, but didn't say anything.
No one else noticed this.
The senior continued reciting his lines from the script: "Junior students, let's go get our school uniforms together."
Jian Dieda, "College students wearing school uniforms?"
“These are the rules,” the senior student said. “At Chongli University, everyone wears black clothes and white pants all year round. You represent the school’s appearance.”
The other five people felt that this rule was very illogical.
"We have to wear black clothes and white pants to enroll?" Jian Dieda didn't know when to stop. "This color scheme looks like mourning clothes..."
The senior student remained expressionless.
"Junior, are you defying your university professor's words?"
Jane Dieda said, "No, but I remember my high school teacher saying that things would be easier once I got to college. Whom should we listen to, our high school teachers or our college professors?"
The senior student hadn't said anything yet.
Jane Dieda then added, "This lousy book is really boring to read."
The two sides were about to start arguing.
Li Xiaojun was the first to back down, "Dormitory leader, don't argue with your senior. Going to school is like going to a funeral, haha."
Zhang Xiaojun also said, "What you said makes so much sense, I can't even refute it. We'll wear it, we'll wear it. Exam-oriented education is all about listening to teachers and schools, haha."
The new students betrayed Jane Deda and submitted to the school.
There was no other way; when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. If this stalemate continued, the senior would make sure they didn't see the sun rise tomorrow.
They don't seem to realize that obeying orders time and time again is what it means to be trained, just like domestic parrots have their feathers trimmed regularly when they are put in a cage, and pet cats and dogs need to be spayed or neutered to be socialized.
If teenagers continue to be obedient and good students, they are likely to repeat the mistakes of previous students.
"Alright, it's good that someone knows the rules. Let's go into the dormitory building. I'll introduce you to everyone along the way. Or how about this, the girls can walk side by side with me."
The senior student said,
"The school administration office added that senior students have an obligation to protect the lovely junior female students."
The slender girls hadn't moved yet.
Jane immediately picked up her luggage and stood between the two female leads.
The senior student, who was about to extend his fiery hands, froze for a moment.
It looked at Jane Diedda, who was 183 cm tall, and his jeans with the zipper on.
A senior student, who seemed to have been there, asked, "Junior, do these two girls have your girlfriends?"
Jane Dieda, with one hand in his pocket and a Nokia phone in the other, said, "Nothing."
Ghostly Senior: "Oh, so you're a girl?"
Pulling down his mask, the junior student with sincere eyes politely said, "Senior, have you ever heard the saying that every man has a girlish heart? That's right, although I have a man's appearance, I also have another personality that longs to be a girl."
Senior: "…………"
Jane said, "Senior is so handsome, please protect me."
………………
The atmosphere was a bit eerie.
Only Yang Xiaohong and Xie Xiaomei looked at their out-of-character dormitory head with tears of gratitude.
Jian Dieda would never let two girls fall into trouble; his aloof and handsome face was about to turn into a shameless person trying to squeeze into the girls' group.
Surprisingly, the ghost senior acquiesced, saying, "You can all walk alongside me."
Jian Dieda managed to avoid having any credits deducted.
The girls breathed a sigh of relief. Once again, they followed the unassuming senior with Jian Dieda. Jian Dieda also signaled to the three boys to come and protect the girls.
Fearing they would lose credits, Li Xiaojun and his friends hid far away.
The senior student chuckled sarcastically, his expression saying "What a bunch of cowards!" while his gaze lingered on the girls.
Jane Diedda remained expressionless.
Then he suddenly said.
"Senior, may I stay in one room so that the other three male students can share?"
Why?
Jane Dieda, who was planning to go out alone in the middle of the night, said, "I'm afraid my roommates will complain if I talk nonsense, fart, or talk in my sleep."
That sounds like the worst kind of person. Aside from secretly liking to be a girl, the dorm leader isn't really suited to be a roommate.
After that, they chatted for a bit more, and then the senior student led the group of idiots to the dormitory registration office.
Unexpectedly, the first school rule—that students would work for free—came.
The first day was a student union requirement to move things; those who didn't do any work weren't allowed into the dormitory building.
It was thanks to Jian Zijin's insistence that the two girls weren't dragged into moving the boxes. Everyone worked in groups, and Li Xiaojun and the others worked up a sweat, their arms trembling. They hated the senior who had put up such a show of power. Jian Zijin almost missed a step when she went down the stairs.
He was carrying the most military training uniforms, and this fall landed him in the infirmary.
But as soon as she fell, someone caught her and carried her in a princess carry.
Coincidentally, a movement by the person behind him almost caused his amnesia to be cured. In an instant, his body, which had undergone a cycle of reincarnation, seemed to have been marked and recognized the hormones of the compatible one. He felt hot and burning, and the burning sensation in his back made him experience symptoms of a high fever at the end of summer.
Before Jian Dieda could figure out what was going on, he heard a strange male voice coming from above.
"Hey, junior, watch where you're going."
There was a person wearing a Chinese-style red-eyed fox mask in the corridor.
The overhead light cast a dim glow. The mask was beautiful, yet it also had a chilling effect, with bloodstains peeking through its stunning beauty.
The fox-like man remained motionless.
He saw the handsome junior he was hugging. Jian Zijing had a slender and tall figure, and his eyes were filled with an indescribable coldness and loneliness, like a child who needed to be protected.
The senior student from the student life department, noticing the monster's face in the distance, asked warily, "Zhong Yun?"
Everyone reacted the same way to the man in the fox mask.
Damn! Wasn't there a senior student? Who is this fox-like guy who's following them like a ghost?
The person behind the fox mask covered their mouth and chuckled.
"It's me."
Zhong Yun, having removed her mask, walked over as if she had a tail following her.
Jian Zijin stood still.
The other five students were stunned.
Zhong Jun? He must be the second senior. He has medium-length hair with thick, curly strands hanging down his back. When he raises his face, he is incredibly handsome, almost otherworldly. His features are classical and sharp, with a birthmark like a Bodhisattva between his eyebrows. Beneath his thick, beautiful eyebrows are a pair of fox-like eyes with hooks, and the pupils are mysteriously pink.
"Hello, I am Zhong Yun, the head of the Art Department. I usually appear automatically around 3 o'clock when Yin Mian moves. If you are interested, you can join my club."
With his fingers toying with the student council stage mask, Zhong Yun lazily raised his hand to brush his thick, black, shoulder-length hair aside, and with a half-smile, parted his full, red lips, revealing a captivating androgynous smile that was mesmerizing.
"The Arts Department? Senior, have you acted in Thunderstorm?" Xie Xiaomei asked.
“No, I played Liang Shanbo in the movie ‘The Butterfly Lovers’.” Zhong Jun looked at the freshmen. “The senior forgot to bring the flyers, otherwise I could show you my portrayal of Liang Shanbo.”
Jian Zijin's eyes were very cold.
"Zhong Jun, what brings you here? I remember Director Zhang only asked me to come and 'protect' the freshmen," the senior student interrupted them.
Zhong Jun finally remembered what the senior student from the Student Life Department had said, "Oh, we're all senior students, why distinguish between you and me? I'm here to select good candidates too. You know, every year I pick a freshman to be my... new member. Coincidentally, I just happened to save a freshman."
After revealing his strange motives, Zhong Yun looked down at Jian Zijin.
Jian Zijin was very thin with narrow shoulders. At twenty years old, he easily nestled into the arms of the man with medium-length hair. With that tug, he was exposed because he wasn't wearing many clothes.
Fortunately, Zhong Yun, who was at the very back of the group, arrived and quickly gave Jian Zijin a hug.
Zhong Jun, who was in the dark, helped him up and got a good look at his handsome face. Jian Dieda quickly stood up straight and said, "I'm sorry, senior, thank you for your help."
"Then be more careful next time. College students aren't children anymore." Zhong Yun replied, noticing that the person in front of her had reddened the back of her ears, the nape of her neck, and the exposed waistline of her pants.
Zhong Jun looked down at her, suppressing the urge to laugh in public: "The freshmen girls are lucky this year, they have a potential campus heartthrob. I'm looking for a junior with similar looks."
At the same time, a voice inside my head was saying something in secret.
Jian Zijin?
"Green are your robes, longingly I think of you," is indeed a beautiful phrase.
A male college student even has a lotus tattoo on his body. Is it meant to symbolize purity and integrity, like a lotus rising from the mud, untainted by its surroundings?
But Zhong Yun thought that the alluring beauty of the lotus blossoms on her back was truly beautiful growing behind another man.
It would also be a perfect little treat for the second monster senior to feed.
Slurp.
