Chapter 74

After running to the bedroom, Yu Tu dropped the flowerpot with a clang, and the whole seedling seemed to have survived a disaster - luckily he woke up early today, and there was no one moving around on the balcony nearby!

Yu Tu walked to the dressing mirror in the bedroom, looked at the beautiful little tea tree seedling in the mirror, and felt so desperate that he wanted to pluck its own leaves.

He finally transformed into a human form when he signed up, but how come he turned back to his original form on the first day of school? Is his form so unstable?

There were no classes scheduled on the first day of school. All freshmen had to go to the auditorium at nine o'clock to attend the opening ceremony. The maximum time was half an hour earlier or later. Yu Tu Miao used a leaf to pat the dust off his roots, jumped onto the bed and looked at his bracelet. It was almost five o'clock now, and he still had about four hours.

The young tea tree sapling sat on the edge of the bed, swinging its jade-white roots, trying hard to recall the strong sense of social death it felt just before it got off the bus driven by Feiye to the registration office.

There seemed to be some inexplicable changes in his body, but the feeling was fleeting and Yu Tu didn't have time to catch it.

But it doesn’t matter, we have made progress!

As time passed, the sense of urgency became stronger and stronger. At half past eight, Yu Tu finally succeeded in turning back into human form!

Before he had time to rejoice, he ran to the closet to change out of his pajamas. Thanks to the unscientific setting of switching between humanoid prototypes, the clothes he was wearing before the transformation were still there after the transformation!

Yu Tu opened the closet. The school uniforms of Millerkel University were stored in four closets according to spring, summer, autumn and winter. The school uniforms in the closets were divided into daily clothes, training clothes, ceremonial clothes and school uniforms. Currently, there were only daily clothes and training clothes in his closet. To get ceremonial clothes, he had to rank in the top three in his major. To get school uniforms, he had to decide on his major three months later.

As for daily wear, which is also the school uniform, there is almost no big difference between the Eastern and Western divisions. The biggest difference is that the Western division wears a magic robe on the outside, while the Eastern division wears a long jacket with a brocaded half-sleeve, and the skirt is changed to a gold-woven horse-faced skirt.

Yu Tu grabbed a set of summer school uniform and put it on hastily, then washed his face and brushed his teeth in one go. The opening ceremony gave him half an hour of floating time, so Yu Tu thought about it and decided to have breakfast first. According to his experience in the watch world over the past ten years, the opening ceremony usually lasts for the whole morning, and he really can't bear it without filling his stomach.

There are nine cafeterias in Miller College. Yu Datu opened the navigation on his bracelet and chose the one closest to him.

The decoration style of this cafeteria is more Chinese. The wooden building is divided into two floors. After entering, there are landscaping inside, with small bridges, flowing water, rockery and flowers. It is so beautiful that it is easy to check in and take pictures just by looking at it.

Yu Tu walked around the uniquely shaped window and chose a bowl of noodles. There were almost no tables reserved on the first floor due to the beautiful landscaping. Yu Tu held the bowl of noodles and prepared to go to the second floor to take a look.

As soon as he stepped onto the second floor, he felt a bit chilly, but he didn't feel any ill will that made him uncomfortable. When he reached the end of the stairs, it was as if he had passed through an invisible barrier. A scream that could burst his eardrums suddenly rang in Yu Tu's ears, and a shadow suddenly fell on his head. Yu Tu looked up—

A hideous and horrible corpse with a pale face was hanging from the beam, with long black hair hanging down naturally and blood dripping down the hair.

Yu Tu looked at the pale corpse for a second, then decisively took a step to the side and put his hand on his bowl of noodles!

This corpse seemed to have no intelligence. After Yu Tu retreated, it didn't show any fear and didn't know how to chase after him. Instead, it turned around to scare other people.

The second floor of the cafeteria was relatively empty, with few plant decorations. It was furnished with a raised table and Chinese-style chairs. Now the table and chairs were tilted here and there, and four people were being chased by the horrible corpse hanging from the beams, screaming and running around in a panic.

Yu Tu: “…”

To be honest, An Jiajia was much more horrified in the coffin than this.

It was a mess upstairs, and the stairs to the second floor could only lead to entry but not exit. Yu Tu had no choice but to drag a chair and find a corner to sit down, and start... slurping noodles.

He is really hungry!!!

When he was halfway through eating his noodles, a person Yu Tu was familiar with appeared at the second floor staircase, also holding a bowl of noodles, staring blankly at the upside-down ghost hanging from the beam chasing people all over the floor.

While Yu Tu was eating noodles, he waved to the people at the staircase. Gu Hongying, who was holding a bowl of noodles and didn't understand the situation yet, came over immediately.

Gu Hongying dragged a chair with one hand and sat down: "What's going on?"

"I'm not sure." Yu Tu said, "The ghosts don't look fake, and the people don't look like they're acting."

If everyone could act out fear so realistically, actors in the show business world would have been out of work long ago.

"I tried the second floor before, but now I can only go in but not out. Let's eat noodles first." Yu Tu looked up at the ghost hanging on the beam, who was happily chasing people. "It won't taste good if it gets clumped up."

"Okay." Gu Hongying nodded. The ghost groom Feng Cong he met when he went deep into Huailin Town during the fog was many times more terrifying than the upside-down ghost now. After that scare, he has basically become desensitized to ghosts.

So when several people on the second floor were being chased and screaming, Yu Tu and Gu Hongying were hiding in a corner and looking calm.

Inside the control room of Miller Kerr University, someone said "Huh?"

"Something is wrong on the second floor of Canteen No. 9." The person who raised the question tapped his fingertips, and the picture on the screen switched instantly. "There are six people on the second floor of Canteen No. 9, four of them are experiencing violent mental fluctuations, and the other two are motionless. Could they be asleep?"

"Please." The person next to him smiled and put his arm around his shoulder. "There's a terrifying projection on the second floor of Canteen No. 9. It's so realistic that it's beyond belief. Who is so careless that they can sleep well? They must have fainted!"

"Come on! Cut out the detailed footage!" the person who spoke was very excited. "This year, we are going to add another regular material to the material library!"

The screen instantly switched from the mental state monitoring fluctuations to a real-time picture, occupying most of the wall, and then——

In the corner where the two points of extremely stable mental fluctuations were located, were two freshmen sitting on chairs and sipping their noodles calmly.

"Fuck! This attitude is too arrogant!" The person who spoke slammed the table, "How can we tolerate this?"

The person who made the surprised sound earlier comforted him: "Maybe they found out it was fake, so they are not afraid anymore."

"This time, the ghost projection is an improved version. It also incorporates a psychedelic array and has a spellbinding potion sprinkled on the ground. Although they will not feel pain when the ghost projection grabs them, the existence of these auxiliary things will make their senses deceive themselves." A clear voice came from a screen in the control room. "In theory, the ghost projection is very difficult to detect. These two freshmen either have extremely high mental strength or have experienced many similar things."

"Activate the environment strengthening talisman. I don't believe they can hold on!"

Their behavior of eating breakfast while watching scary scenes really hurt the hearts of most people in the control room. Before they were promoted to the second grade, they were frightened by the scene arranged by their senior classmates and cried and crawled. These scenes were even edited into a high-definition vlog and played on the spot at their opening ceremony.

It is a tradition of Miller Kerr University that before the freshmen enter, senior students will temporarily renovate the school in order to collect vlog materials to be shown at the opening ceremony. Miller Kerr University's opening ceremony is also known as the "Test of Courage", and its alias is the "Black History and Emoji Collection Contest."

More than 90% of the freshmen who enter each class are scared enough, contributing all kinds of black histories and emoticons, so that when facing the next class of innocent and ignorant juniors, those who have suffered from the previous class are eager to try their best to leave them with the most perfect memories of their lives.

With this kind of love being passed on, every session is full of variety and creativity, with the main theme being "because I have been caught in the rain, I want to tear other people's umbrellas into pieces."

The environment enhancement talisman was activated, and Yu Tu, who had just finished eating noodles, instantly felt the change in the air—if it was just a little cold and gloomy before, now it can be said to have changed drastically!

The cafeteria on the second floor, whether it was the desks and chairs, or the walls, ceiling and floor, all were instantly covered with traces of decay brought by time. There were mosses and weeds everywhere, and large areas of mold and spots from years of disrepair occupied the field of vision. The stairs connecting the second floor and the first floor were already rotten, and there was only a small piece of barren black soil at the entrance - it seemed as if there was no first floor at all.

It seemed as if Miller-Kerr University, the beautiful accommodation area, and the clean and beautiful cafeteria were all just their crazy fantasies. While they were deceiving themselves... they woke up from the dream.

First, they were chased by fierce ghosts in a seemingly endless marathon, and then the environment changed drastically during the day. Even though they had seen those magical spells and techniques in yesterday's report, it was still difficult to change some of the deeply rooted things in people's lives in the surface world for the past 18 years. The four unlucky guys who were being chased were finally startled and fainted.

Yu Tu: “…”

Gu Hongying: “…”

All four targets were unconscious, and the fierce ghost projection was staring at them - they were the only two who were still conscious on the entire second floor.

The fierce devil quickly moved from the beam to their side, and the dripping blood soon gathered into a small pool on the ground. But no matter how ferocious he was, as long as he didn't attack, these two people would not hide, and were indifferent enough to even have the time to comment.

"I think this skin color is not good enough."

"The exterior is too intact and not scary enough."

"Hanging from the beams is less terrifying than crawling in the dark."

"This amount of blood looks fake at first glance."

…

Perhaps because they couldn't be scared, or perhaps because they thought the two of them were too noisy, but amid their comments, the cafeteria on the second floor was restored to its original state, and the stairs that could only be entered but not exited were also restored to normal.

Gu Hongying looked at the fierce ghost hanging on the beam a few steps away from them, and asked politely, "Can we leave now?"

The devil ignored him.

So Gu Hongying asked himself and answered: "Then we can go now."

He turned around and called out to Yu Tu: "Let's go Tu Tu!"

They left the cafeteria one after another, but found that the signal was blocked and the bracelet could not be used.

"What? Aliens attacked the school?" Gu Hongying muttered. He reached out and patted his bracelet, just like patting the host computer when it crashed. "Where's the signal? Why is there no signal?"

Yu Tu: "I have a bad feeling..."

Gu Hongying covered his mouth with his hand and said in a deep voice, "Tu Tu, don't say anything yet."

But... it's too late.

There was a sudden vibration under their feet, and a huge flower broke out of the ground, wrapping them up with its petals.

In the control room, the people in front of the screen and others who gathered around to watch were high-fiving each other, and everyone's face was filled with a smile of schadenfreude.

If mental attacks don't work, then try physical ones!

"This is the 'piranha plant', a device we just developed to kill snakes." Someone in front of the screen proudly introduced, "After the flower swallows a person, it will tightly close its petals to trap the person inside. If you do nothing, the person will remain trapped inside. If you attack, the petals will shrink tighter and tighter until the person passes out."

"The Piranha Plant is very sensitive and can sense the situation of the person in the bud. We have also equipped it with built-in equipment to simulate human emotions, so it is almost impossible to trick the Piranha Plant into opening its bud with sweet talk."

"Turn the screen over there." The introducer smiled as if he was enjoying the fun, "Who fried some melon seeds? Give me some!"
