After the NPCs left, Qi Feibai couldn't help but say enviously, "I wish I were a woman, especially a pregnant one!"
Wei Xuelan wasn't happy about escaping unscathed; in fact, she was terrified. Clutching her stomach, she cried out in despair, "No...no, I'm not pregnant! I'm not pregnant at all!"
Zheng Qiao also noticed something was wrong. Wei Xuelan's belly was indeed bigger than yesterday. She was quite plump, so it was no wonder that everyone misunderstood.
"Not pregnant!?" Qi Feibai exclaimed in surprise. "Could the NPC be lying to us?"
No, she's pregnant!!
Zheng Qiao's voice rang out along with Cang Xiaohan's.
Cang Xiaohan could clearly feel that Wei Xuelan's stomach was indeed fuller.
Zheng Qiao also noticed the abnormality in Wei Xuelan's stomach.
In just a short time, Wei Xuelan's abdomen had become noticeably swollen.
Even Qi Feibai noticed it, and he immediately distanced himself from Wei Xuelan.
The belly was on Wei Xuelan's body, and she felt it most deeply. When she said she wasn't pregnant, her belly visibly twitched, clearly refuting her words.
But no one had time to think about what was going on; it was already 12:05, and they had to rush to the cafeteria.
After rushing to the cafeteria, the players' faces turned even uglier, as their pollution levels had increased by another 5 points.
Classes would also exacerbate the pollution, and they don't have much time left.
Zhai Liren was also carried to the cafeteria by Zheng Qiao and the others. After all, although he was forced to be twisted beyond recognition, he was still alive.
Whether he can wake up or not depends on his fate.
"What difference is there between him being like this and being dead?" Hao Gaoxing stated the facts without any emotion.
"You can't say that. As long as you're alive, there's a chance." Zheng Qiao wasn't exactly a warm-hearted person. The deal he made with Qi Feibai came at a price. In this instance, Qi Feibai not only had to listen to him, but also had to give him half of the rewards after the instance was completed.
He's not a saint; Zhai Liren's current condition should still be salvageable.
She's no simple woman; there must be a reason she's helping Zhai Liren like this.
Sure enough, not long after, Zhai Liren, who had been twisted into a ball, stretched out his body on his own, and his body underwent a strange change, gradually developing some bizarre blood-like characteristics.
Meeting those eerie eyes that were noticeably larger than before, a chilling coldness suddenly ran down everyone's spine.
Zhai Liren's pollution was much more serious than theirs.
The only difference between them is that Zhai Liren was once scolded by a female teacher.
In other words, causing dissatisfaction among teachers can also exacerbate pollution, and the levels can be even higher.
The chill only gradually dissipated as food was served.
The food was the same as last time, a bloody mess that made me feel nauseous.
Zhai Liren, who had clearly felt disgusted last time, ate heartily like those student NPCs, and even looked like he was enjoying it.
The other players exchanged glances and realized the direction of this contamination; it was very likely assimilation.
Judging from Zhai Liren's current state, it's uncertain whether he'll even live to see tomorrow.
And this is only the third day. Han Gu'er is dead, and Zhai Liren is almost insane.
Is this really the difficulty of an F-rank dungeon? Could it be...?
Veteran players shook off the terrifying speculations in their heads.
Their progress on the leads is only 1%, so they need to speed things up.
However, they really resisted this contaminated food and didn't want to eat it!
Thinking of this, the group of players looked at Cang Xiaohan once again.
Cang Xiaohan was not far from them. At this moment, she was resting her chin on her hands, and an NPC with a bruised and swollen face was eating two meals in front of her.
Without even thinking, it's obvious that the big boss has once again resorted to force to suppress them.
Thinking back to the boss's outrageous antics at the last meal, they were suddenly shocked to realize that the crazy boss was not only highly skilled in combat, but also far more intelligent than ordinary people.
She must have known all along that there was something wrong with the food!
The boss truly lives up to his reputation.
Cang Xiaohan had no idea what they were thinking; she was comforting... threatening the NPC.
"Seeing how thin you are, I really can't eat. Don't worry, if anyone tries to take it from me, I'll be the first to beat them up."
The unfortunate NPC had no words to express his suffering, his eyes filled with tears. He wasn't thin; he was just slender.
Cang Xiaohan: "Look at you, tears are streaming down your face. Is it really necessary to be so moved? Should I get you another one?"
As he spoke, he actually glanced around, which started the slender NPC so much that he immediately had a hearty appetite, finished his meal, and then fled in a panic.
Cang Xiaohan was displeased. "People these days have no manners. I can't even get a thank you for helping them out."
The unlucky NPC who happened to hear this: ... almost stumbled.
...
How the other players dealt with their meals was none of Cang Xiaohan's concern.
The tap started running again in the middle of the night. Cang Xiaohan had just thrown her roommate in and hadn't fallen asleep yet when a strange baby crying sound suddenly came out again, like a demonic sound pouring into her ears.
After trying to cover her ears to no avail, Cang Xiaohan's anger level exploded. She jumped out of bed and headed straight for the source of the sound.
The crying wasn't coming from their dormitory, but from room 4-404.
At this moment, room 4-404 was pitch black, as if the entire room was isolated by something, and even the moonlight could not penetrate it.
If it were an ordinary person, they might really be completely lost and confused.
8ьОOK． Соm
But who is Cang Xiaohan? She can manipulate Yin energy as easily as drinking water. As soon as she entered, she found the culprit in the dense Yin energy. It was a strange infant with a bluish-purple body, empty eyes, and limbs lying on the ceiling.
Despite being such a tiny little thing, its cries grew louder and louder with each passing moment.
"Shut up."
This isn't my own dorm room, so I don't have to worry about disturbing my roommates. Cang Xiaohan coldly scolded, "What are you howling about in the middle of the night? Are you showing off your loud voice?"
"Even though you're young, you should still have some sense of public decency. You disturbed my sleep, do you know that?"
The ghost baby: "..."
The next moment, the ghost baby continued to wail and opened its mouth full of sharp teeth, crawling towards Cang Xiaohan.
Cang Xiaohan would rather take action than talk. She quietly watched the ghost baby's performance, and when it got close, she grabbed the ghost baby's umbilical cord and slammed it to the ground. "I'll teach you a lesson for disobeying your parents today."
The ghost baby was stunned, and its cries faltered. It seemed not to understand why anyone would not be afraid of it. In its memory, everyone who broke into this place was so frightened that they fainted on the spot and eventually became its nourishment.
"Are you still going to cry?" Cang Xiaohan threw the ghost baby onto the bed like a ball.
Cang Xiaohan had beaten someone up, but her anger had subsided. Moreover, she felt a pang of conscience for bullying the weak.
So she tried to comfort her, "Come on, tell your sister, why are you crying in the middle of the night?"
The ghost baby tilted its head, a hint of confusion in its eyes, and then began to whimper softly.
As Cang Xiaohan listened, she felt even more guilty.
According to the ghost baby, it kept crying in order to find its mother. In its memory, it had always been happily by its mother's side, where it felt warm. But then one day, its mother suddenly disappeared. It cried day and night to attract its mother's attention.
But people who weren't her mother came one after another, and because she was very hungry, she ate them all.
"Is that so? Then you definitely need some education."
The ghost baby: "..."
The ghost baby could only continue to wail.
Cang Xiaohan: "You want me to help you find your mother? That's a bit difficult."
The ghost baby panicked and crawled around on the bed, trying to get closer, but then shrank back and could only continue to cry even more urgently.
"You mean, if I help you, you'll give me a special gift?"
The ghost baby nodded.
"Alright, since we've come this far, I'm definitely going to help you out as a friend. Just wait for my good news."
As soon as he finished speaking, a system notification sounded.
[Player has started the side quest: Help the ghost baby find its beautiful mother. Quest progress: 0%.]
"By the way, what's your mother's name?"
The ghost baby shook its head and continued to whine.
"Oh, so you only know that your mom is the most beautiful?"
...
After leaving 404, Cang Xiaohan heard the notification sound of updated clues, which showed a full 8%. Combined with the previous 5%, she now had 12% of the clues.
This guy seems to be something else.
On the morning of the third day, all the players had dark circles under their eyes, clearly indicating that they had all been active before the night.
Of course, Zhai Liren is an exception; he has completely lost his player consciousness and seems poised to be completely assimilated at any moment.
As of the third day, 6 people had survived in the instance.
Zhai Liren died, but his death was very strange. His face and neck were covered with bite marks, which were heart-shaped. Through the heart-shaped marks, you could see the severed veins inside.
Zheng Qiao and others speculated that this was related to the fourth rule of the men's dormitory.
The heart shape generally represents love in a popular sense, which is clearly related to Article 4 of the boys' dormitory agreement.
Of course, these are just their guesses; the surviving players have no idea what the actual situation is.
However, this serves as a warning to male students—be careful of girls calling out in the dormitory.
Although Zhai Liren has not been completely assimilated, he is still a player. He must have done something wrong last night to cause such a consequence.
Besides others
Muscular Qi Feibai's situation wasn't much better. He didn't have any special methods. He had eaten all of yesterday's food, and he could feel something strange about his body, as if it was going to mutate in some bizarre direction.
His remaining sanity was crumbling.
He barely made it through the second day of theory class.
But once he entered the cafeteria, he couldn't hold back anymore; he didn't want to die.
"There must be a way! Please tell me, how can I alleviate this damn pollution?" At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Zheng Qiao and the others. "You're veteran players, you must have a way, right?"
Qi Feibai stared at them with a ferocious expression.
Seeing this, Zheng Qiao sighed and still voiced his guess, which wasn't exactly his guess, but rather a summary of dungeon runs by some senior players.
"We guessed that the school clinic might have a solution, but we have been searching for so long and have not found the school clinic."
Before Zheng Qiao could finish speaking, Qi Feibai began muttering to himself, "School clinic, find the school clinic..."
The wealthy woman no longer needs to come to the restaurant in person; her belly is getting bigger and bigger, and the cafeteria kitchen staff prepares special meals for pregnant women, which are delivered to her door.
So no one knows her current situation.
But the thought of having doubts in the dungeon is terrifying. How will the monster be born in the end?
8ЬоОK． Cοm

Zheng Qi ignored the rambling Qi Feibai, finished his food, and exchanged a glance with Yi Shu before quickly stopping Cang Xiaohan, who had already walked away.
Cang Xiaohan wasn't angry; she just looked at them with a puzzled expression.
Seeing that he hadn't offended anyone, Zheng Qi breathed a sigh of relief. "We went to the archives last night and learned some clues."
Cang Xiaohan's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Did you see any pretty women?"
Zheng Qiao: "..."
Yi Shu: "..."
Cang Xiaohan was disappointed; she had promised to find the ghost baby's beautiful mother.
Seeing that Cang Xiaohan seemed to be leaving, Zheng Qiao spoke again, "We found seven boys who died in the same way. They died mysteriously one after another within seven months. Most importantly, they all came from a place called Lijia Village."
At first, they only found Li Yan. At that time, they had no idea that there were seven bodies buried here. If they hadn't found some clues in the archives and re-examined the situation, they might have really missed it.
Cang Xiaohan: "Oh."
The next moment, a prompt sounded, indicating that a clue was being pushed forward.
Cang Xiaohan then realized what the two meant, so she returned the favor and told them about what happened in room 404 the night before.
"So the beautiful woman you were looking for is the mother of the ghost baby." Hearing this clue, Zheng and Qiao finally understood Cang Xiaohan's purpose in finding the beautiful woman.
Seeing that Cang Xiaohan seemed interested, Zheng Qiao continued, "We've already dug up their remains. Would you...would you like to come with us to take a look?"
It was lunchtime for exploration, so Cang Xiaohan didn't refuse.
Seven skeletons were neatly and evenly arranged around the flower bed between the teaching building and the dormitory building, resembling some kind of sacrificial ritual.
Cang Xiaohan carefully examined the flower bed. Suddenly, a nameplate caught her attention. She recognized the name on it; it was her dorm leader's ex-boyfriend, Li Yang.
There must be some secret behind Li Shiyu's seduction of Li Yang and Li Yang's tragic death.
Seeing that Cang Xiaohan was staring at another nameplate, Zheng Qiao couldn't help but ask, "Boss, is there something wrong with this person?"
"I also found out some information. There used to be a girl named Li Shiyu in 404. It seems that she had seduced Li Yang before. Many people have called her promiscuous."
Zheng Qiao: "..."
Zheng Qiao was surprised that Cang Xiaohan had told them her clues without any hesitation. However, he was not stupid and immediately realized Cang Xiaohan's intention. "A fickle woman? You mean, this Li Shiyu may have some connection with these seven people?"
Cang Xiaohan nodded.
She had a good impression of the two men and was willing to say a few more words.
But Zheng Qiao earnestly assured us, "Thank you for providing us with this valuable information. We will now investigate the relationship between Li Yang and the others."
Cang Xiaohan: "..." Oh, does she mean that?
After hesitating for a moment, Zheng Qiao still told Cang Xiaohan about Zhai Liren's death, since it could be considered a clue.
Cang Xiaohan misunderstood, "His death has nothing to do with me!!!"
Zheng Qiao: "..." He didn't mean to interrogate me!
"No, life and death in the dungeon are predestined. Besides, you were kind enough to help him yesterday, otherwise he wouldn't have made it through that class," Zheng Qiao quickly explained.
Fearing that Cang Xiaohan might misunderstand.
So Cang Xiaohan left with peace of mind.
Zheng Qiao and Yi Shu exchanged a glance, puzzled. How come the big shot who kills NPCs without blinking an eye seems a little kind?
...
On the other side, on the fourth floor of the teaching building, is the principal's office.
Hao Gaoxing had just touched something that looked like a parchment scroll when a man's cold voice rang out behind him: "What are you doing?!"
His body moved faster than his mind; he dodged the sudden attack with a quick movement.
The middle-aged man, who was also the principal, had no intention of holding back and was going for the kill with every move. "Leave your things behind, and I might spare your life."
But how could such nonsense possibly fool Hao Gaoxing?
He knew very well what kind of people the NPCs in the dungeon were; trusting them would be sending him to hell.
The principal swelled up and expanded, his arm growing rapidly like a plant. He lashed out suddenly, and Hao Gaoxing, unable to dodge, gritted his teeth and used a protective prop.
[Lia's Guardian: Lia is a kind girl who will save everyone in danger. Limited to once per instance. Total uses: Unlimited.]
Click!
Even the protective gear couldn't withstand a single blow; it's now useless.
Hao Gaoxing didn't care about the heartache and ran out as soon as he saw an opportunity.
He only hoped that there would be some restrictions on the principal during the day.
Fortunately, the principal didn't catch up; he made the right bet.
He had expended a lot of energy on this trip, but after reading the parchment in his hand, a smile appeared on his indifferent face.
...
Until the practical training class started, Cang Xiaohan hadn't found any pretty women.
The instructor's teaching method was the same as yesterday, but the NPC's movements were more distorted, and anyone could see that the practical requirements were being raised.
It was only then that players discovered that their bodies could be easily contorted even without any props.
Could it be pollution?
When you check their personal information, everyone's expression is grim, especially Hao Gaoxing, whose pollution level is almost halfway up.
It must be the principal. It's common sense in games: the more terrifying the monster you face, the faster the pollution level increases.
8BOoK.com
Hao Gaoxing then looked at the big shot who hadn't eaten a single meal.
Her pollution level must be lower than theirs, but considering the big boss's daring to confront the NPC's "suicidal" actions, I'm not entirely sure.
At this moment, it was Cang Xiaohan's turn, but she didn't move for a while. Before the practical instructor asked her a question, she bent down and rolled up her pants.
What does this mean?
When they saw the stark white bones, everyone was speechless.
When did you smash this up behind our backs? It can't be the same damage as last time, right?
Either way, it's terrifying.
But the culprit smiled innocently, "Teacher, I'm hurt."
Practical instructor: "..."
"By the way, teacher, do you know where the school clinic is? I want to get better quickly so I can show you my beautiful dance moves."
The practical instructor had a gloomy face; she had never seen such a shameless student before.
Cang Xiaohan said, "Teacher, you always treat your students like your own children. You're not just faking it, are you?"
The practical instructor: "..." Are you blind? Can't you see that I want to kill you the most?
Seeing that Cang Xiaohan wasn't saying anything nice, the practical instructor opened his mouth but reluctantly interrupted, "The school clinic is behind the cafeteria, and doctors are only available from midnight to 1 am"
Player: "..."
This works?
So that's the reason why the big shot smashed his leg.
Been taught a lesson.
Of course, some clever people had already remembered that Director Li, who had brought them in at the beginning, had said that they should integrate well into the college family.
The term "large family" should be interpreted in more ways than just its literal meaning; it also imposes certain restrictions on the behavior of teachers.
For example, students can receive a response when they make reasonable requests for help.
What about the other student NPCs?
They exchanged glances and understood the key point.
Back in her dorm that evening, Yi Shu didn't ignore the NPCs as usual. Suppressing her discomfort, she asked casually, under the watchful eyes of three eerie figures, "Did you know? Seven male corpses were suddenly unearthed from the flowerbed today."
After Yi Shu finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the dormitory.
Just when she was about to give up hope, a voice appeared.
"It must be Li Yang and his group. I knew that anything involving Li Shiyu could lead to trouble, and sure enough, they're all dead."
"Li Shiyu had affairs with seven men and ended up getting pregnant, but none of them admitted it. She really deserved it."
"That's right, luckily she still had some shame, she jumped off the building and died..."
"It's a good thing she's dead, given how promiscuous and seducing men she was..."
"That's right, who can argue with that?"
...
The three of them were talking back and forth, but their eyes were all fixed on Yi Shu, with strange smiles on their faces.
Yi Shu felt as if an invisible hand was choking her, and even the air seemed to thin out.
Snap!
The dormitory room was plunged into darkness instantly.
Yi Shu then began to gasp for breath.
I don't know how much time passed.
"Splash..."
"Splash..."
The sound of running water from the toilet rang out as usual, and Yi Shu's movement to turn over suddenly stopped.
Under the moonlight, three ghostly figures stood at the head of her bed, their eyes filled with greed and their lips curled into eerie smiles.
Yi Shu: "..."
Yi Shu felt a chill run down her spine. Was this what happened when she tried to talk to an NPC?
There are pits everywhere.
But she quickly calmed down. There must be some restrictions, otherwise she would never have been lying here so peacefully.
Based on the previous clues, she easily deduced that the "pretty mom" was Li Shiyu.
The standoff lasted until midnight, when the sound of running water from the toilet arrived as expected, but Yi Shu didn't have a chance to use the props to shut it off.
The sound of clues mingled with the sound of running water in the toilet, and the three NPCs seemed to have been freed from some kind of restriction, steadily approaching her.
The dimly lit dormitory room was bathed in pale moonlight.
The strange rustling sounds became clearer as the three approached, and their figures underwent a significant change, like trees sprouting new roots.
It expands rapidly and approaches.
Yi Shu didn't have time to sort out the clues. She struggled to break out of the NPCs' encirclement and ran towards the outside of the dormitory building.
She and Zheng Qiao had already discussed it and agreed to meet at the school clinic at midnight.
The pollution levels are rising, and her health is already being affected. Hopefully, the school clinic will find something.
⑻BОoк. сom

There was only a dim light in the school clinic behind the cafeteria.
Zheng Qiao and his two companions met here. They carefully made their way in, but they did not find the doctor.
They spotted Qi Feibai immediately; he hadn't been seen during the day. He lay obliviously on the only bed, a large chunk missing from his chest—a physical loss. Through the hole in his chest, they could see the blood-stained sheets beneath him.
Strangely, his complexion was even rosier than during the day.
Just as the three were about to examine the place more closely, they suddenly heard footsteps approaching from inside the school clinic. They exchanged a glance and quickly hid themselves.
In the dim light, a doctor in a white coat held a blood-soaked unidentified object in his hands. The object trembled, rising and falling, making a faint thumping sound like a heart.
Could this be Qi Feibai's heart that was dug out?
But the doctor's actions the next second interrupted their speculation.
"May this clean heart bring you good luck."
...
While the doctor was performing surgery, the three exchanged a glance and then split up to search for clues, especially for medications that could reduce infection levels.
Since the advent of the eerie map app, predecessors have accumulated a wealth of experience.
There are no dungeons where death is inevitable; for dungeons with pollution levels, there must be something that can mitigate the damage.
The school clinic was the only place they could think of.
Hao Gaoxing paused suddenly as he was searching, a moment of confusion crossing his face. Although he quickly recovered, he accidentally broke a reagent.
The crisp, loud sound of the glass shattering on the tiles instantly broke the silence of the school clinic. An eerie unease washed over him, and he abruptly looked in the direction of the school doctor.
The other person had somehow appeared behind him, and now the two were face to face.
The school doctor's eyes, devoid of any whites, were staring straight at him. Even the blood covering his body couldn't hide the madness on his face. "Where did this little thief come from? How dare he break my precious reagents?"
Hao Gaoxing wanted to escape, but his body wouldn't obey him. Damn it, his pollution level had probably exceeded the 60% safety threshold. In this situation, he would have no chance against a powerful NPC.
A strong NPC can easily crush a player with an excessively high infection rate.
Zheng and Qiao quickly approached, wanting to rescue the person. The clues in this instance hadn't progressed much, and the players couldn't afford to lose any more members, especially the veteran players.
But even faster came a cheerful female voice, breaking the stagnant atmosphere.
"Wow, it looks like everyone's playing here."
Cang Xiaohan hopped over like a little rabbit.
Zheng Qiao and others: "..." Is this how the big boss makes his entrance?
"Oh, you must be the school doctor!"
Cang Xiaohan glanced around, her friendly gaze meeting that of the school doctor with a ferocious expression. She skipped over to the doctor and even stood on tiptoe to pat him on the shoulder affectionately.
Then, ignoring the school doctor's increasingly unpleasant expression, he shoved the person into the consultation chair.
Other players: "..." Is this school doctor really that frail?
No one knew the school doctor's private struggles, but despite his best efforts, he was powerless against the person in front of him.
Only the school doctor knows the bitterness in his heart.
"Sorry, the school clinic only sees one patient per day." This means you should get lost.
Cang Xiaohan seemed not to understand, "Who made that rule? You? Or the principal?"
School doctor: "..."
"If you won't speak, then I won't leave. I think this place is quite nice."
As she spoke, Cang Xiaohan began to stroll around as if she were on a sightseeing tour, glancing at this and touching that, with the occasional sound of something falling.
To this, Cang Xiaohan only said lightly, "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, you won't blame me, will you?"
Looking at the doctor's ferocious expression, Zheng Qiao and the others felt exhausted for him.
"Ah, there's a hidden compartment here? Could it be filled with treasure? Hehe~ I love treasure hunting!"
The doctor couldn't sit still any longer. He stood up abruptly and blocked Cang Xiaohan's way. "I misremembered. There's no limit to the number of patients you can see. What's wrong, classmate?"
⑻BooK·som
Cang Xiaohan's eyes darted around, and a better idea came to her mind. "You have medicine to lower the pollution level, right? Bring it all out, or else I'll..."
Doctor: Yes, but you need to bring something in exchange for the medicine.
"Oh, what is that?"
The doctor smiled, but his words were blunt: "Not many, just one organ from your body."
"What a swindler! He's even involved in organ trafficking. Can I report him for illegal business operations?" Cang Xiaohan's thoughts were running wild at this moment.
Could this not be an art academy at all, but an illegal organization? Could the truth be related to this?
Clearly, she wasn't the only one who thought this way; Zheng Qiao and the others also looked thoughtful.
Upon hearing this, the doctor paused for a moment, "...The decision to make the transaction is in your own hands, student."
"Oh ho, doctor, are you serious?" Cang Xiaohan touched his nose, a little incredulous that things were so simple.
Doctor: "Of course, I respect every student who comes here."
"Then what happened to him?"
Cang Xiaohan pointed to Qi Feibai lying on the bed next to her.
"Oh, he said his heart was dirty, so I'll replace it for him." The doctor said casually, as if heart transplant surgery was as simple as drinking water.
"Alright, everyone, time is running out. Who wants to go first?" The doctor swept his gaze over the group with malice. Zheng Qiao and the others subconsciously took a few steps back and winked at Cang Xiaohan, who looked eager to try.
"Okay, I'll go first."
Before the doctor's smile could fully bloom, everything went black. A tremendous force sent him flying. He lay on the ground, unable to get up, when a foot stomped heavily on him, followed by a heart-wrenching crushing.
The doctor's face contorted in shock. He turned his head back and said, "What... what do you mean? Didn't we just agree on something?"
Zheng Qiao and the others were also stunned.
They were all ready to swarm in, and this is how it turned out?
"We've reached an agreement. Didn't you say the decision was in my hands?" Cang Xiaohan reached out and patted the doctor's shoulder in a friendly manner. "Isn't this my hand?"
doctor:"..."
Grass! !
The doctor felt cheated, terribly cheated, and before the anger in his eyes could even ignite, he was hit with a large nose bag.
When he shook his head and looked up again, he met a pair of dark, dissatisfied eyes. The owner of those eyes was scrutinizing him, as if he were looking for a spot to slap him.
The doctor's anger vanished instantly. He cowered and begged for mercy, "Stop hitting me!"
"If you don't want to get beaten up, you have to pay a price, right?" Cang Xiaohan didn't strike again.
Time was running out, and she was very interested in the place she had just seen, so she decided to finish quickly.
"Here you go, that's all." The doctor handed Cang Xiaohan a small bottle. "This contains the medicine that can suppress the pollution."
Cang Xiaohan poured the pills into her palm; there were only five white pills inside.
"Do you think I'm stupid? It's only this little bit." Cang Xiaohan said, raising her hand again in dissatisfaction.
"That's really all. You're unwilling to give anything in return. These are all the pills I have left," the doctor explained, trembling.
"Oh, could it be that these pills are made from our organs?"
The doctor did not reply, clearly indicating that this involved something he could not say.
"Alright, I'll let you off the hook for today."
Before the doctor could even feel happy upon hearing this, Cang Xiaohan knocked him unconscious.
"Tie him up," Cang Xiaohan calmly ordered, turning her head.
Zheng Qiao and the other two stood there dumbfounded, then obediently stepped forward.
The obedient girl took out her props and tied the doctor up tightly.
Cang Xiaohan: "..." I didn't mean that. Whatever makes you happy.

This is a dimly lit little cubicle, as if it is enshrining something.
There were no statues, no signs, just a strange box.
White candles stood on either side of the box, while three unidentified incense sticks burned in the middle, swirling with steam.
When Cang Xiaohan stood inside, she realized that all the sounds outside had disappeared, as if this were a separate space.
Whew!
A sudden gust of wind blew in, and the incense went out without anyone noticing. A shadow was standing outside the box.
"Knock knock!"
The box began to vibrate slightly, as if something was knocking inside.
Cang Xiaohan glanced at the time; it was exactly 1 am
She stepped forward, getting closer to the box, bent down, leaned forward, and whispered, "Shh! Stop fooling around! Come out on your own."
At this point, Cang Xiaohan reached out and gently patted the box twice.
The cold box stopped trembling instantly.
Then, it responded to Cang Xiaohan with an even more violent tremor.
"You're really naughty. Don't think I'm some kind of gentle young lady. I'll catch you myself, and I'm pretty rough. If I catch you, I can't guarantee what the consequences will be."
The box continued to shake violently.
Cang Xiaohan: "This is the first time something has ever been so disrespectful to me?" If I had the right tools, I would have split this thing in two long ago.
The box was finally opened. Cang Xiaohan flicked her wrist, telling herself that the process didn't matter, as long as the goal was achieved.
Inside the box was a strange object resembling a human heart.
It seemed to be alive, still pulsating.
Before Cang Xiaohan could make a more careful observation, the long-awaited system notification sounded, with two notifications.
Incomplete Item 1: Collect it or not?
"Yes."
The clue progress has been updated to 18%.
...
Zheng Qiao and the others had just taken the medicine that Cang Xiaohan had given them before she left. Each medicine could reduce the pollution value by 20. Now, even Hao Gaoxing's mind was much clearer.
Zheng Qiao: "Something's wrong with this instance; we got corrupted too quickly."
Yi Shu nodded in agreement.
Hao Gaoxing: "We must cooperate, otherwise, I'm afraid we'll really have to stay here. I only have less than 10 leads right now."
The group exchanged glances, and the idea ofcompletely cooperating to exchange clues came to mind.
...
When Cang Xiaohan returned to her dormitory in the middle of the night, she heard the ghost baby crying again. With only a strange heart in her arms, Cang Xiaohan felt inexplicably guilty.
The beautiful mother really had no clue whatsoever.
Should we go straight back to the dorm, or go and comfort her?
After much consideration, Cang Xiaohan decided to offer some comfort, otherwise she would not only be unable to sleep because of the noise, but also feel guilty.
As soon as Cang Xiaohan entered room 404, she was embraced tightly. The other person's enthusiasm made her feel even more guilty.
Before she could even figure out how to start the conversation...
The ghost baby cried out for its mother!
"Mom, I've finally found you."
etc!
What happened? How did she suddenly become a mother?!
This won't do. It's an insult to her dignity. "You little brat, don't yell like that, or I'll make sure you're mute for the rest of your life."
"But...it's Mommy." The ghost baby sobbed, clinging tightly to Cang Xiaohan.
"Open your eyes and look at yourself. Do I look like your mother?" Cang Xiaohan was furious.
"But you smell like your mother?" The ghost baby was puzzled; he didn't understand.
"The taste?" A thought flashed through Cang Xiaohan's mind.
She ripped the ghost baby away and took out the eerie heart.
The next moment, the ghost baby indeed called out "Mom" to the heart.
Cang Xiaohan: "...This thing is your beautiful mother? Are you kidding me?"
The happier the ghost baby was, the angrier Cang Xiaohan became.
pretty Woman?
It turned out to be just a lump of decaying and rotting organs.
Who could possibly connect these two things?
"My mother is the most beautiful!" the ghost baby whispered in protest.
Arguing with a brat is too childish, Cang Xiaohan refused, "Fine, fine, your mother is the prettiest, okay?"
After Cang Xiaohan finished speaking, she couldn't help but yawn.
The system voice sounded the next moment.
[Side quest updated: Help the ghost baby find its beautiful mother. Quest progress: 20%.]
Cang Xiaohan: "..."
How come it's only 20%?
Could it be that its mother was dismembered?
"How many pieces does your mother have?" Cang Xiaohan was furious. She thought it was a simple task, but she didn't expect it to be so complicated.
What if I regret it a little?
Perhaps sensing Cang Xiaohan's remorse,
The ghost baby started crying again.
"Stop whining. Weren't you talking so fluently just now?" Cang Xiaohan gritted her teeth.
"My mother...she has several pieces..." The ghost baby clutched his heart, which was bigger than his hand, and pleaded anxiously.
Cang Xiaohan: "How many pieces is 'several pieces'?"
⑻Ьook． сом
The ghost baby couldn't speak, it could only whimper!
Cang Xiaohan: "..."
...
By the fourth day, five people had survived. Qi Feibai stayed in the school clinic and did not return to his dormitory. It was estimated that his chances of survival were slim.
These five people include Wei Xuelan, who has been staying in the dormitory and whose fate is unknown.
The morning was still a theory class. The theory teacher stood in the classroom with a blank expression, his eyes, devoid of white, staring straight at the players, cold and devoid of warmth.
Once everyone was seated, the theory teacher began, "The theory lessons are now complete. You are free to practice from this lesson onwards. Remember, don't slack off."
After saying that, he ignored them and left the classroom.
The teacher left, and Cang Xiaohan also had to leave.
Seeing this, Zheng Qiao and the others also left.
When they went outside, they saw that Cang Xiaohan was talking to the theory teacher. To be precise, Cang Xiaohan was holding onto the theory teacher and not letting her leave.
"Teacher, do you know Li Shiyu?"
The theory teacher's pupils contracted, and his face tightened even more. "I don't recognize you. You'd better hurry up and practice."
Cang Xiaohan didn't let go; instead, she moved even closer, tilting her head back to stare at her teacher. "Really? Teacher, you really have a short memory. Even such an excellent student as her can be forgotten. What's the point of us practicing so well?"
Theory instructor: "..."
"If you don't give me an explanation, I'll follow you all day." Cang Xiaohan affectionately took her teacher's other hand, smiling innocently. "Teacher, you're only telling me about one person, there's no need to be so stingy, is it? Or is it that this Li Shiyu is involved in some earth-shattering secrets of our academy, so you dare not say it?"
Theory instructor: "..."
The theory teacher was probably regretting it now. Why did she have to come and show off one last time? She tried hard to pull her hand back, but the other person was holding her down, and she couldn't break free no matter what she did.
The theoretical teachers all showed signs of anxiety.
Cang Xiaohan pressed on, "It seems the teacher still has quite a backbone."
After saying that, he let go of the theory teacher's hand, as if he were muttering to himself, "I admire teachers with backbone, but I wonder how the principal would react if I went to tell him that it was you who told me the secret about Li Shiyu's pregnancy?"
The joy that had arisen from escaping vanished instantly, and the theory teacher froze on the spot.
She glared at Cang Xiaohan. If looks could kill, Cang Xiaohan believed she would have died a thousand times over.
Despite it being daytime, the corridor was unusually dim. Bathed in this light, Cang Xiaohan smiled as she looked at the theory teacher.
Theory instructor: "..."
"The principal and the dean of students are both from her hometown." The theory teacher finally conceded, gritting his teeth as he said, "I don't know any more specifics."
As soon as he felt the pressure on his hand disappear, the theory teacher vanished.
Zheng Qiao and the others were already used to such scenes. Knowing that Cang Xiaohan had a clue, they exchanged glances and began to act.
...
A strange scene is unfolding in dormitory room 4-407 during the day.
Wei Xuelan lay on the upper bunk with her large pregnant belly, surrounded by several male NPCs. If Cang Xiaohan and the others were there, they would definitely recognize them.
The person leading the group was the school doctor from the school clinic last night, followed by the cafeteria cooks and kitchen helpers.
Their behavior was bizarre. They stretched their legs up to the height of the bed, surrounding Wei Xuelan, and then all bent down, almost lying on top of her body.
Wei Xuelan opened her eyes wide and looked at the group of people in horror.
At first, not having to eat in the cafeteria made her really happy for a while; she even thought she was a lucky one.
But when the food, even stranger than what was served in the restaurant cafeteria, was presented to her by the kitchen helper, she regretted it.
She regrets not choosing to continue eating in the cafeteria, and now she faces this fear of being left helpless.
Wei Xuelan twisted her body, which was already swollen like a balloon, and struggled desperately.
Suddenly, she couldn't help but scream.
But it couldn't make a sound.
Her stomach! It hurts so much!
She could feel several hands tearing open her belly, reaching inside, tearing and churning, and she felt her internal organs being dragged away.
Soon, Wei Xuelan realized this was not an illusion. She saw her liver being stuffed into the mouth and chewed by a man in a white coat, with blood flowing down his pale arms and onto the floor.
Ahhh!!
Wei Xuelan endured the pain of being dissected alive, her mouth wide open, revealing a dark, gaping hole to the group.
Her tongue had long since disappeared.
The screams were muffled by his mouth. A hand came into view, and soon, two bloody holes appeared in his empty mouth, from which a line of bloody tears gurgled out.
Her swollen limbs were tightly bound to the bed with sheets, her hands gripping the sheets tightly... After an unknown amount of time, a baby's cry replaced Wei Xuelan's struggles.
...
On campus, Cang Xiaohan wandered around, lost in thought.
She couldn't resist tapping the icon on her palm, and soon a transparent panel appeared before her eyes.
The panel was no longer a solitary personal panel; instead, there was a map-like presence. Cang Xiaohan was very familiar with this map, as it contained all the places she had walked through on this campus.
The map not only shows the various campus buildings she has visited, but also two different colored dots: green and red.

The map not only shows the various campus buildings she has visited, but also two different colored dots: green and red.
There are significantly more red dots than green dots, and most of them are moving.
Could it be that green represents players and red represents NPCs? And the place she's in is marked by a black arrow—could that be her location?
Cang Xiaohan became interested and couldn't help but turn around in all directions. Every time she changed direction, the arrow changed accordingly.
It's confirmed, this is the map generated based on her tracks.
As for the origin of the two colors, Cang Xiaohan is not sure because it has not been verified.
Suddenly a red dot appeared near the black arrow.
Cang Xiaohan looked in the direction of the red dot, and lo and behold, the head of the teaching department appeared, still in a business suit, his high heels clicking loudly.
Ah, how beautiful this sound is!
Cang Xiaohan's brows immediately relaxed; this suddenly appearing map was actually quite useful!
Red represents NPCs, and green represents players.
When the head of the teaching department saw Cang Xiaohan, he obviously remembered what happened last time and immediately turned around with a sinister grin.
To her surprise, when she got closer, she found that the other person was not running away, but was smiling and waiting for her. The head of discipline felt a little uneasy, but the opportunity to vent her anger was right in front of her, so she held back.
But the first thing Cang Xiaohan said made her regret it immensely.

Director, what a coincidence! I was just about to look for you. We really are on the same wavelength!" Cang Xiaohan walked up and took Director Li's hand, smiling sweetly and obediently, as if she loved this teacher very much.
But in reality, only Director Li, who faced her directly, could truly feel that terrifying pressure.
"You...you let go..." Director Li tried very hard to break free, but the hand holding her seemed to be welded in place and did not react at all.
"Director Li, let's go, let's talk as we walk."
Director Li was unwilling and struggled fiercely.
Cang Xiaohan was unhappy. She looked at Director Li and said, "Director Li, calm down. If you're going to cause trouble, you'll disappear."
Cang Xiaohan wasn't trying to scare her; she was genuinely annoyed by this boring dungeon quest and just wanted to find a way out as soon as possible.
The problem is that these people's mouths seem to have been sewn shut; it's so difficult to even ask them a question.
To get from the teaching building to the staff dormitory, you have to cross a flower bed. The seven skeletons that once surrounded the flower bed are no longer there. It's unclear whether they were collected by players or for some other reason.
Unidentified green plants were planted around the flower bed, swaying gently in the breeze.
Cang Xiaohan walked through the flower bed, carrying Director Li, who was much taller than her, with one hand, and quickly arrived at the staff building.
Only after arriving here did Director Li gradually relax and stop resisting.
If Cang Xiaohan hadn't noticed the sly smile on her lips, then she was actually quite convincing at pretending.
However, I'm not afraid of causing trouble, I'm afraid of not causing trouble.
Things only get interesting if you keep working on them! Otherwise, where does progress come from, where do clues come from?
Director Li's office is on the top floor of the faculty and staff building; the entire floor belongs to her.
...
Unbeknownst to them, their positions had changed.
Director Li had somehow escaped Cang Xiaohan's control.
There were no lights on the entire floor, and the outside light was blocked by the gray curtains. Under such circumstances, the shadows inside the building seemed to grow, constantly covering Cang Xiaohan's surroundings.
System notifications kept ringing in my mind.
[Attention players, your contamination level is about to exceed 50. Please clear or reduce your contamination level immediately!!!]
Cang Xiaohan remained unmoved; she had no intention of taking the pills in her pocket herself.
[Player, please note that your contamination level has reached 50.]
[Attention player, your contamination level has exceeded 50...]
...
"Is this all you've got?" The increase in pollution levels seemed to have no effect on Cang Xiaohan. She was like someone who had caught a mouse, having seen enough of the mouse's clumsy disguise, and finally lost interest, so she interrupted.
"How are you alright? How is this possible?!" Director Li screamed.
"hehe!"
Cang Xiaohan shook her pocket, took out a flashlight, and scanned the entire floor.
"Director Li, your position at the school seems quite unusual. Do you have some kind of secret relationship with the principal?" Cang Xiaohan suddenly had a gossipy thought.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Director Li had disappeared somewhere, and only his voice echoed.
Suddenly, Cang Xiaohan noticed something. There was a piece of paper pasted on the door of a room. Cang Xiaohan went closer to take a look and laughed. It was a woman's face, riddled with holes, which showed Director Li's resentment towards her.
Suddenly, Cang Xiaohan felt something brush past her feet.
With its slightly shimmering white light and bone-chilling cold, Cang Xiaohan was certain that a third party had appeared here.
Wow, that's pretty exciting.
8Bοok·com
Of course, on the surface, Cang Xiaohan pretended not to have seen anything.
"You're not the principal's mistress, are you? Otherwise, how could you live in such a nice place?" Cang Xiaohan deliberately provoked Director Li, whose emotions were already running high.
"What do you know? The principal is my brother!!" Director Li roared.
"Oh, it's your brother!" Cang Xiaohan exclaimed dramatically.
"Heh, scared now? Be careful, I'll have him kick you out. Anyone who fails to complete the mission will die." Director Li's tone became confident, as if he had someone backing him up.
"Hello, brother. I'm sure he'll come to your aid when your little sister is in danger." Cang Xiaohan said, as if speaking to Director Li but also to herself. "I wonder if he'll like it if I greet him like this?"
Director Li was furious: "Aaaaah, I'm going to kill you!"
Cang Xiaohan: "Li Shiyu, aren't you coming out yet?"
"Bang!"
"Where is that bitch Li Shiyu?" Director Li jumped out.
Cang Xiaohan turned her head and came face to face with two big white bones.
The large white bones shimmered with a white light, clearly the fingers, and were intertwined. They had somehow hopped over to Cang Xiaohan's side.
"Li Shiyu?" Cang Xiaohan called out tentatively.
The big white bone bent its back slightly.
Cang Xiaohan was surprised to find that this thing really was Li Shiyu, and at the same time, a system notification sounded in her ear.
Incomplete Item 2: Collect it or not?
Cang Xiaohan chose "Yes".
The clue progress has been updated to 30%.
Director Li's eyes were still darting around, and he kept cursing "bitch".
Seeing how anxiously she was looking for the bones, Cang Xiaohan couldn't bear it. She picked up the bones from the ground and went to Director Li. "Look, are you looking for her?"
"It's you, Li Shiyu! I'd recognize you even if you were ashes!" Director Li started threateningly as soon as he saw the bones.
"Director Li, can we stop exaggerating? There was a bone standing upright on the ground just now, and you couldn't even see it!" Cang Xiaohan hugged the bone and started backing away. "It seems you don't know enough about Li Shiyu, this outstanding student."
"What do you know? She's just an uneducated peasant. She only got into this school because of my brother!" Director Li stared at the bone, as if he wanted to grind it to dust.
"The school isn't yours to run, why can't she go? Wait, I almost forgot you just said the principal is your brother." Cang Xiaohan tilted her head. "How about this, we go find your brother and get some justice?"
"No!" Director Li seemed to have become much more sober.
His brother couldn't know that what he liked most about this woman was her hands. He had finally managed to kill her and kept her hands, so how could he expose himself now?
"Tsk, this won't work, that won't work, you can't come up with a good solution." Cang Xiaohan couldn't help but kick Director Li.
Finally, Director Li was beaten up again and then knelt down under Cang Xiaohan's fists, forced to follow her to the principal's office, which was on the fourth floor of the teaching building.
That is, the place where Director Li told them to start the performance on the first day.
Cang Xiaohan crossed her arms, with the head teacher following behind her.
Along the way, there were virtually no obstacles in their path.
"Director Li, you're not doing well at this school. Look at them, they avoid you like the plague. They have no respect for teachers at all." Cang Xiaohan commented as she walked, sounding more like a leader conducting a major inspection than a student.
Director Li: "..." Damn it, who respects teachers as much as you do?
...
"You two really are siblings, you both love living on the rooftop."
Cang Xiaohan cleared the way with his hands, the road filled with bizarre and twisted monsters. "Sorry, I misspoke. Your brother is indeed your brother. Look at his style. We haven't even met yet, and he's already given so many gifts."

Cang Xiaohan hoisted the two skeletons onto her shoulders and, with a mix of kicking and pulling, made Director Li lead the way.
Before even seeing the principal, Director Li began to tremble. She shrank her neck and reluctantly moved forward under Cang Xiaohan's pressure.
Cang Xiaohan looked around and saw the principal's office, reception room, waiting area, toilets, and so on.
The principal's residence was the most spacious place Cang Xiaohan had seen in the school; even the corridors between the rooms were wide enough for five or six people to walk side by side.
The first area is the waiting area, with windows on both sides. Standing in front of the windows, you can see the entire dormitory building. In the middle is a set of luxurious sofas, and on the table in front of them are exquisite snacks.
The place wasn't empty at the moment. Behind the table sat a chef dressed in white, carrying a plate of mysteriously wrapped items.
Cang Xiaohan remembered him; he was one of the kitchen helpers who always served them food at the restaurant.
The man stared at the two of them in shock. "You...you're here for the sacrificial offerings too?"
"Sacrificial offerings? Yes." Cang Xiaohan became interested and stopped looking for the principal. She went to the kitchen helper's side, placed the two white bones flat on her knees, and gestured to the kitchen helper, "Here, I brought them over."
The kitchen helper stared in horror at the two broken hand bones. "...Aren't you going to bandage them up?"
What he really wanted to ask was, aren't you afraid of becoming a sacrifice?
In his eyes, his colleague's pollution level was much higher than his own.
Cang Xiaohan didn't care: "That's what the weak do."
Kitchen helper: "..." The kitchen helper seemed to be recalling the girl's heroic figure in the cafeteria.
Help the weak cook: "..." Then he began to feel a little weak.
While Cang Xiaohan was busy chatting with the kitchen helper, Director Li had somehow slipped away.
Cang Xiaohan looked at the furtive figure and smiled at the kitchen helper.
Kitchen helper: "..." No, what are you laughing at?! You're crazy!
In a certain room.
Director Li stood trembling in front of a man. "Brother, when do we carry out the plan? Let's kill them all quickly."
The man sat in the chair with his head down, writing something on the table in front of him. The woman's words seemed to ignore him completely.
"Brother, are you even listening?!" Director Li looked around anxiously. "These people are really acting strangely."
"Something's not right. Aren't these supposed to be perfect offerings that suddenly appear here? They come in batches every now and then. This must be a blessing from God." The man finally finished writing. He opened the drawer and took out a medicine bottle.
The man said gently, "Here, take some medicine. Then go back and get a good night's sleep. Once you wake up, everything will be settled."
Director Li glanced at the medicine bottle; she knew what was inside—anti-pollution medicine. They had controlled the entire school thanks to this.
This is all because that bitch won't cooperate!
This is why they have to pay a price – they must offer fresh food every year as a sacrifice.
The so-called performance is nothing more than an excuse before the sacrifice.
"Brother, the performance isn't until tomorrow, it's a bit early for me to eat now."
The principal said helplessly, "This year's offerings are far from enough, so the sacrifice has been brought forward and will begin tonight."
Upon hearing this, Director Li's dark eyes flashed for a moment, and then he immediately became excited.
The principal looked at her with increasing affection. "Eat quickly, everything will be over soon."
The woman picked up the medicine and was putting it into her mouth.
Just then, the door clicked open.
"I'm sorry, it was him, he insisted on eavesdropping." Outside the door, Cang Xiaohan pointed at the kitchen helper she had coerced, looking completely innocent.
Once she was spotted, Cang Xiaohan stopped hiding and walked in confidently, defying the principal's imposing presence. "So you're the principal? I've been at this school for so long, and I've never seen you before."
Cang Xiaohan: "Hey, don't look at me like that."
⑻вoОＫ． com
The principal continued to stare at her, or rather, at the two white bone claws that Cang Xiaohan was carrying on her shoulders.
"Don't do that, we're not that close." Cang Xiaohan said with a sigh, her hand touching the white claw, she was actually a little reluctant, "You can have it, it's not impossible."
The kitchen helper was stunned. He couldn't understand why his friend had become so bold as to challenge the principal.
The principal finally spoke, his face grim, "What are your conditions?"
"Just tell me the school's secrets, I'm a natural gossip." Cang Xiaohan's eyes curved slightly, and she smiled mischievously.
"Don't go too far," Director Li said, refusing to take his medicine and becoming arrogant, as if he had the principal backing him up.
"Did I speak to you? Why are you interrupting?" Cang Xiaohan said sternly and in an unfriendly tone, before delivering a powerful blow to Director Li with a bone claw.
Director Li lay sprawled on the ground, face down, when Cang Xiaohan stomped hard on the back of his head. "And besides, he's the one who wants what's mine now. It's a fair exchange, understand?"
Director Li struggled to say something more, but the principal waved his hand, and she reluctantly stopped.
"What gossip do you want to know?" the principal asked, still sitting in his chair, seemingly helpless.
"Yes, it's about you and Li Shiyu, isn't it?"
Cang Xiaohan felt that this matter was the core story of this instance, and it would be right to find out about it, but she overlooked the wishes of the person involved.
headmaster:"..."
Clearly, Li Shiyu is a taboo subject for the principal.
The principal suddenly turned evil.
He appeared behind Cang Xiaohan and said, "I was originally planning to save your life tonight, but now it seems unnecessary."
Cang Xiaohan picked up the white bone claw and unleashed a barrage of attacks on the principal, leaving bloody streaks on his ordinary, round face.
However, there were only marks, no blood. The principal's face was contorted, his features contorted in a grotesque grimace...
Just as Cang Xiaohan was fighting the principal, the sky outside changed. The entire campus was shrouded in a strange gray fog, and the buildings in its path were swallowed up by the black fog.
This is a corner of the campus at this moment.
Zheng Qiao was covered in blood, one of his arms had been torn off, and he was clutching a package tightly in his arms. He was being supported by Yi Shu, while Hao Gaoxing brought up their rear.
At this moment, the entire campus seemed to have lost its restraints. The various NPCs that had previously been hostile to them suddenly surrounded them. Their bodies grew taller and deformed, and the consequences of being surrounded by them were unimaginable.
The three of them searched through their inventory but couldn't find any items that could solve their predicament. Although they were veteran players, they hadn't cleared many dungeons, and not all dungeons yielded items.
Moreover, they have already used up quite a few items in this instance.
At this moment, facing the NPCs' riot, he is only holding on by sheer willpower.
All three were puzzled. Tomorrow was supposed to be the last day, so why were the NPCs already rioting?
This is clearly not right!!
Suddenly, a monster bit Zheng Qiao's right leg. He stumbled and fell to the ground. He gritted his teeth, threw the package in his hand at Yi Shu, and lunged at the monster.
"Brother!!!" Yi Shu roared, her eyes filled with tears.
"Go to hell!! All monsters should die!" Hao Gaoxing couldn't help but swear.
"Ashu, don't worry about me. Take... take the things and go find the big boss. She'll definitely have a way." Zheng Qiao couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. His leg was gone, and his whole body seemed to be stained red with blood.
His current state is nothing but a drag.
He clung tightly to the monster with his only remaining hand. He could feel the tearing sound in his stomach, the ripping sensation of his internal organs being pulled out, and he could feel his life force rapidly draining away.
He was cold, but he dared not close his eyes. He just stared at Yi Shu until his consciousness blurred.
Not long after, he seemed to hear Ashu shouting.
"Brother, wake up!!"
8BοΟk·СΟm

It wasn't an illusion; Zheng Qiao was shaken awake.
He didn't die?
He could clearly feel the monster ripping out his internal organs...
He was lying in Yi Shu's arms, still covered in blood.
As for why he didn't die, you could say he was lucky.
Yi Shu had already gone far away when all the monsters suddenly went berserk, abandoning the few of them and converging on one place.
At that time, Zheng Qiao was still alive, and Hao Gaoxing gave him the only remaining medicine he had.
Hearing this, Zheng Qiao was very moved. In the horror dungeon, it was good enough if no one stabbed him in the back. He never expected that someone would save him with such a precious item in a dungeon he had just met by chance.
"Brother, I didn't trust the wrong person. Don't worry, if I get out of here, I'll definitely repay you double." Zheng Qiao, disregarding his own miserable state with missing limbs, patted Hao Gaoxing's shoulder with emotion.
After they finished speaking, they finally had time to discuss the current situation.
What exactly happened? Why did all the monsters riot and suddenly leave?
"Could it be that the big boss did something?" Yi Shu wondered cautiously.
Zheng Qiao: "Be bold, I think it's 100% true."
Hao Gaoxing agreed, saying that besides them, the only other players were the big shots, and they couldn't think of anyone else with such power.
As for the big boss being killed?
They refused to think about this terrible thing. If even someone as capable as the boss couldn't do it, then they might as well just wash themselves clean and wait to die.
The three men's guesses were indeed correct.
Cang Xiaohan was in the middle of a fierce fight with the principal. She practically pinned him to the ground and beat him from his office to the waiting room. At that moment, she swallowed the kitchen helper whole.
The item in the kitchen helper's hands fell to the ground. It was a baby that Cang Xiaohan was very familiar with. It wasn't the ghost baby from 404, but a miniature version of the baby that looked exactly like Wei Xuelan.
The baby cried loudly after being born, but was quickly swallowed by the principal.
Not long after, Director Li, who had been cheering for the principal from the sidelines, and who was also the principal's sister, was also swallowed by the principal. Before being swallowed, the two of them put on a show of fake sibling affection in the dungeon world for Cang Xiaohan.
Director Li's expression before disappearing was one of utter "surprise"!
It has to be said that the principal is indeed more imposing after swallowing people; Cang Xiaohan can no longer hold him down with one hand.
But the principal still couldn't find a way to escape the combined attack from Cang Xiaohan and White Bone Claw.
"Who exactly are you?" The principal trembled from the beating, too afraid to approach, and roared in frustration.
Upon hearing this, Cang Xiaohan laughed, "Oh, so the principal doesn't know who I am who beat you up? Hehehe! What's going on?! I'm even more excited now!!"
"I was worried before that if I hit you, an old man, maybe some little thing would come along and be ruthless and endless, which would be very annoying. But now I have no such worries at all."
The principal was trembling with rage, his gaze towards Cang Xiaohan filled with twisted resentment.
Suddenly, he raised his neck and began to scream.
Cang Xiaohan couldn't understand the monster's language or what it was shouting, but she didn't stop it.
Soon, she realized what the principal was yelling about. The building she was in was surrounded by monsters. Gray fog churned outside the windows, and monsters were pouring into the building.
"Is this some kind of monster-shaking game?" Cang Xiaohan was extremely excited.
She ignored the "Pollution Level Warning" notification again.
"Call more, so I don't have to go looking for them one by one later." Cang Xiaohan's words infuriated the principal once again.
Principal: "..." In all my years as principal, I have never seen such a bizarre student as you.
Seeing that Cang Xiaohan was getting more and more excited, the principal couldn't keep yelling.
None of the monsters could get close to her; one white bone claw took down one monster at a time. It was practically a mass suicide mission.
Finally, the principal gave in, trembling as he shouted, "Stop! I know what you're after. I can tell you how to leave. Aren't you all here to leave?"
Upon hearing this, Cang Xiaohan indeed stopped, but what she said made the principal feel heartbroken: "You know how to leave? But what if I haven't had enough fun yet?"
The principal: "..." He really wanted to smash his head against a wall and die.
However, he still has a chance. As long as the sacrifice is completed and the mother and child are completely refined by him, he can tear this hateful woman apart with his bare hands.
8вOOk. Соm
"Once the culprit behind the incident is exorcised, the whole school will be calmed down, everything will return to normal, and you will find a way to leave here."
Cang Xiaohan had no idea what the principal was thinking. She had gotten quite into beating up the monster and was actually a little reluctant to let it go.
But she still wanted to see what tricks the principal would pull.
"Aren't you the culprit behind the school's downfall?" Cang Xiaohan couldn't believe that the principal had nothing to do with the school's current state.
In fact, based on the clues she obtained and the bits and pieces of time she pieced together, she also had some suspicions about the past of this school.
It's definitely related to the principal.
"You see, you've really misunderstood. I'm just the administrator of this school. The real culprit is someone else. I invited you to perform here to completely suppress them."
The principal's demeanor was no longer that of a ferocious figure; he now appeared to be genuinely concerned for the school's well-being.
"Oh, really?" Cang Xiaohan rested her chin on her hand, deep in thought.
The principal looked at her anxiously, "Of course, the performance has been moved to tonight. After you finish your performance and resolve this matter, you can leave."
...
"Hello... What are you all doing here if you're not planning any evening activities?" Cang Xiaohan asked, and immediately bounced out after finishing her conversation with the principal.
Upon hearing the voice, Zheng Qiao and the other two immediately looked at Cang Xiaohan with tears in their eyes.
"Boss!"
"Boss!"
"Boss!"
"We knew you were alright!" Yi Shu helped Zheng Qiao up, and the three of them surrounded her.
Cang Xiaohan immediately took a step back, using her bone claws to separate the crowd, "Don't get too close to me!!"
The three of them had just been in a bloody battle, and they were covered in blood, dirty and disheveled. Zheng Qiao, in particular, looked terrible with missing limbs.
The healing potion only kept him alive; it didn't actually regrow his limbs. Potions with that effect would sell for a very high price.
They simply can't afford it.
"Boss, we have something to give you!" Zheng Qiao looked at himself and the others, then at the boss's clean clothes, and felt a little embarrassed.
Cang Xiaohan asked, "What?"
Zheng Qiao took out a package from her bosom. "This is a woman's leg bone."
The moment Cang Xiaohan received the package, she heard a system notification.
Incomplete item 3: Collect it or not?
"Are you sure you want to give it to me?" Cang Xiaohan was a little surprised. She had finally managed to get the hand bones, and she guessed that they had also put in a lot of effort to get the leg bones.
"This is a damaged prop, are you sure?" Cang Xiaohan didn't like taking advantage of others.
After obtaining the consent of the three, Cang Xiaohan chose "Yes".
The clue progress has been updated to 40%.
Then Cang Xiaohan took out her white bone claw and gestured to everyone, "A clue."
Everyone: "..." The surprise came too suddenly.
...
Finally, after Cang Xiaohan politely inquired, the three decided to follow her to the final location for their "performance."
"Boss, there's one more thing. Gao Xing found it in the principal's office before; it's a method for making an evil artifact..."
"I know."
"Ah!" Zheng Qiao was a little disappointed.
"Isn't this it!" Cang Xiaohan raised the white bone claw and white bone leg in his hand to show it.
Zheng Qiao: "..."
So the evil artifact is in our hands, and suddenly we feel a bit excited.
The three exchanged glances and immediately followed in the footsteps of their boss.

However, before going there, Cang Xiaohan went back to her dormitory building first.
Then they went to the school clinic again. The school doctor wasn't there during the day, but Cang Xiaohan and the others still went back and forth to look through it several times.
In the end, only three pills were found that reduced the pollution level.
In this final moment, everyone knew the importance of the pills, but there were only three, even though there were four of them.
Hao Gaoxing couldn't help but curse angrily, "Damn dungeons, they're just disgusting."
Anyone with eyes can see the sinister intentions behind this instance; it's designed to make them fight each other for the pills.
Zheng Qiao and the other two looked at each other. Zheng Qiao looked at them, one was her younger sister, another was Hao Gaoxing who had just saved her life, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "Don't worry about me, you guys..."
Cang Xiaohan's action stunned all three of them.
"Give them all to us?" Yi Shu couldn't help but ask. Although they all needed them, no one had ever thought of taking the boss's share.
It's one thing to be unable to beat them, but it's another to remind them.
"I don't need it." Cang Xiaohan tossed it into Yi Shu's hand, then paused before turning away. "This was made by the school doctor using Wei Xuelan..."
After saying this, he turned and walked towards the outside of the school clinic, ignoring the stunned crowd.
Zheng Qiao: "What the boss means is that she disdains to exploit her own kind, so I won't eat it for now."
Yi Shu naturally followed Zheng Qiao's lead and put away the pills in her hand.
Hao Gaoxing didn't understand, but he thought the situation was okay for now, so he put it away, intending to save it for the most critical moment.
...
In the evening, at the performance hall of Building 4 in the teaching building.
"These NPCs' acting skills still need improvement. Look at their eyes, they practically want to eat us alive."
Although this was Cang Xiaohan's first time attending such a banquet, the scene she remembered was very different from the one she was seeing now.
Zheng Qiao and the other two: "..."
A master is a master. I wonder what their previous dungeons were like. Anyway, these NPCs are already very polite to them.
It's just that their expressions are a bit ferocious; I wonder how many dungeons have NPCs who kill players right away.
Just then, the principal, dressed in a suit and followed by several teachers, slowly walked over.
When the principal saw Cang Xiaohan, his expression turned ferocious for a moment, but he quickly returned to a friendly demeanor.
However, anyone could see how unwilling the principal was to approach, and unfortunately, Cang Xiaohan was standing right next to the principal's seat.
Looking at the principal's strange walking posture, Cang Xiaohan couldn't help but tease, "Principal, you've twisted your ankle!"
At this moment, the principal was walking forward, but his toes were pointing backward. Combined with the pale white light overhead, it was a very frightening scene, but Cang Xiaohan's description made it seem bizarre and funny.
The terrifying atmosphere created by the NPCs all turned into laughs.
Zheng Qiao and the others stood by, trying not to laugh, their shoulders shrugging.
The objective of having only the principal injured at this moment has been achieved.
headmaster:"!!!"
The principal was furious but dared not speak out.
He forced a friendly smile, trying to ignore the despicable woman in front of him. Soon, he would show her what it meant to wish she were dead.
No one who dared to mess with him has ever left the campus alive.
Besides the principal, there were some unfamiliar faces who came in. Cang Xiaohan guessed that these were the "big shots" who were watching the performance.
etc...
Cang Xiaohan seemed to suddenly realize something.
She reached out and grabbed someone's hand. That person was walking at the very back and was overjoyed to see Cang Xiaohan's action. They had the right to deal with people who broke the rules.
His head turned strangely, and the smile on his lips grew wider and wider.
But it quickly came to an abrupt end...
In the blink of an eye, before he could even figure it out, his eyes were fixed on the ceiling.
He was stunned.
Wait a minute...
Unfortunately, no one cared about his feelings. Cang Xiaohan was certain he was extremely weak, so she just left him aside. He was so weak, so these people probably weren't the principal's helpers.
Cang Xiaohan stared at the principal, wondering uncertainly, "Why is he so confident that I can't escape?"
Not long after, Cang Xiaohan walked into the backstage area, and the players gathered around her.
Cang Xiaohan suddenly spoke up, "Under what circumstances do you think a person can be confident of victory?"
Zheng Qiao and the other two took the boss's question very seriously. No one ignored it, and they immediately started thinking about all sorts of conspiracies and schemes.

Zheng Qiao organized her thoughts and cautiously spoke, "I think it's very likely related to evil artifacts. Besides the ones we found, he should have more on him, which might be some kind of deadly weapon. And this performance is the key for the principal to deal with them, no, to deal with you, the big boss."
Of course, Zheng Qiao was very self-aware. The three of them were just incidental; the person the principal most wanted to deal with was definitely the big boss.
If it weren't for some top-tier players, they wouldn't have survived this long.
Cang Xiaohan listened without saying a word, but a cold and disdainful smile bloomed on her innocent and beautiful face.
Then, Yi Shu spoke up, her opinion similar to Zheng Qiao's: "I think the parchment scroll in the principal's office is evidence. He was using the entire school to forge evil artifacts. Maybe the school became like this because of his actions."
Cang Xiaohan rested her chin on her hand, remaining noncommittal, and turned to look at Hao Gaoxing.
Seeing this, Hao Gaoxing also shared his thoughts. He started by talking about the seven corpses and Lijia Village, and also mentioned that Zhai Liren was suspected of committing a crime of passion, and Wei Xuelan's mysterious pregnancy... He felt that it was not just a matter of evil artifacts, and that there must be a bigger secret behind this school.
They haven't discovered this secret yet; they still lack crucial clues.
The most obvious thing is that their clues are stuck at 55%, and they just won't budge.
They were just a hair's breadth away from leaving the instance.
"Boss, do you have any ideas?" Zheng Qiao glanced cryptically at the quiet hall before cautiously asking.
Cang Xiaohan tilted her head, her eyes filled with a hint of confusion. She simply wanted to hear everyone's opinions and didn't intend to launch into a long speech.
"There's no point in guessing here. How could we possibly guess what a pervert is thinking? Once all the main characters arrive, everything will become clear."
Before Zheng Qiao and the others could even ask what it meant for all the main characters to be present, they were interrupted by the host on stage.
Next, it was their turn to perform.
But what are they performing?
Zheng Qiao and the others were stunned.
But seeing that the bigwigs had already calmly gone on stage, they couldn't just stand there for long.
Who knew if there would be any danger standing below, so I immediately followed.
Next, please welcome our freshman team with a performance – the Swan Dance. Please give them a round of applause!
*Smack! Smack!*
*Smack! Smack!*
...
Hearing about the Swan Dance made Zheng Qiao and the others feel immense pressure.
The host's tone wasn't this excited before, but it became so inflammatory when it came to them. The applause gradually subsided as the players went on stage.
But the atmosphere had already become completely electric, with thousands of eyes in the audience staring intently at the people on stage, and an eerie atmosphere was spreading.
The gazes from below the stage seemed to turn into eyes, glued to everyone, like maggots clinging to bones, making people feel disgusted. Zheng Qiao and the other two couldn't help but touch the goosebumps that had risen on their bodies.
If their performance is unsatisfactory, given the nature of horror dungeons, I'm sure nothing good will come of it.
The three exchanged a glance and secretly clutched the rest of their props in their hands, preparing to retaliate if anything went wrong.
...
The stage lights were a stark white, and the host was now standing to the side. The entire venue was deathly silent.
It didn't feel like a performance venue at all; it was more like a morgue at night, eerily quiet and desolate.
The three people on the stage looked at Cang Xiaohan, preparing to follow the big boss.
The principal, sitting offstage, glared maliciously at Cang Xiaohan, unable to suppress the smile on his lips. He then turned and began chatting amicably with a middle-aged man next to him.
That man must be the mayor who was watching the program, since he was the one who could sit next to the principal.
A minute passed, and the stage was deathly silent.
Cang Xiaohan remained motionless, and Zheng Qiao and the others also remained silent.
Two minutes passed, and the stage remained deathly silent.
...
Just as the host, unable to withstand the pressure, paced over to Cang Xiaohan and the others, preparing to urge them on, Cang Xiaohan took action.
However, upon noticing her actions, not only were the players stunned, but even the principal looked puzzled and shocked.
As the host approached, Cang Xiaohan snatched the microphone, made of some unknown material, from the host's hand and kicked the host, who had a ferocious expression, off the stage.
This host is very fragile; he fainted immediately.
Even Cang Xiaohan, who was weak in combat, sighed.
Zheng Qiao and the others: "..."
Are NPCs really that fragile these days?
Before they could think much about it, a lively and cheerful female voice instantly filled the entire venue.
Hello, it's nice to see you all!
