Although Collin really wanted to call Dylan out right now to ask him about it, the corridor that was shaking like an earthquake left him no time to think about anything else. The blood-stained dagger disappeared in his hand. Collin's steps softened and he quickly supported himself against the relatively intact wall next to him.
It was strange, as if all the strength in his body had been drained. Collin stretched out his fingers weakly. The time on the bracelet showed that there were still eleven and a half hours left, but Collin felt that he might not be able to hold on for more than five minutes.
The female ghost was really angry.
The sealed door finally shattered under her persistent hitting. The ripples in the corridor flickered again, and then broke like a taut string.
The violent red shadow paused for a moment in front of the door. In this teaching building full of death, Collin, the only living person, was as obvious as a target.
Ben's body only brought out a delighted laugh from the female ghost. She left her feet off the ground and quickly pounced towards Collin in the corner.
There was still some residual warmth in Tannin's fresh blood. Collin shook his wrist, and the dagger that truly belonged to him slipped obediently into his hand again.
What a trouble! In his violent state, he doesn’t even care about the burning sensation caused by the blood?
Collin deliberately did not leave the circle where he had just fought with Dan Ning. Too much blood gushing out of his arteries, and the female ghost revealed herself the moment she stepped into this area. Green smoke was coming out of her body, and she did not look much better than Collin.
Collin dodged the female ghost's black nails by turning his head. His evasive movements were still neat, but his means of attack seemed a little weak. Compared with his previous tricky and sharp attacks, Collin at this moment undoubtedly lacked the capital to make the female ghost afraid.
"Main storyline."
The font on the bracelet flashed again and again. Collin was distracted and was pinched by the female ghost again.
But this time, the female ghost did not tighten her fingers like last time. Instead, she gently used her other hand to stroke the gradually disappearing ghost handprint.
"Killing someone with a borrowed knife?" The female ghost glanced at the gun that Dan Ning had held in his hand until his death, "I really underestimated you."
Although he has such a pair of clear eyes, he only does dirty, bloody and filthy things.
The men under his command seemed to have given up completely and did not make any more futile struggles. The female ghost pressed Collin against the wall that had stopped vibrating, and a hideous ghost face slowly approached him.
"Have you ever experienced the feeling of being possessed?" The ghost's purple lips opened and closed maliciously. "No need to explain. I will see for myself whether Ben is lying or not."
The low temperature that could almost freeze people came from the two people's foreheads that were pressed tightly together. Collin looked at the female ghost calmly, watching as half of her head melted into her body.
The memories buried deep in his mind were rudely stirred up. The reality belonging to Collin and the illusion fabricated by the system were spread out in front of the female ghost like a scroll. The gushing resentment brought pain that was enough to make a person collapse, and this pain also brought the turning point that Collin had been waiting for.
The female ghost's unguarded memories were openly revealed to Collin. At that moment, Collin felt as if he had shared senses with her. The painful or happy scenes in her memories were as real as if he had experienced them himself.
He stood behind the girl named Lin Shuya, watching the tragedy happen silently.
The most prestigious tutor in the academy and a student whose talent and beauty were known throughout the school. This should have been a wonderful story of harmony between teacher and student, but everything was destroyed that night.
That locked dressing room, that stained white dress, as dazzling as Lin Shuya was on the stage, she looked so miserable at this moment.
The girl's cries were right next to his ears. Collin looked at Ben's smug face and reached out his hand for the first time to try to change everything.
But this was doomed to be a futile effort. What had happened could not be changed. Collin could only follow the girl like a ghost, watching her fall from collapse to despair again and again.
There was insufficient evidence and no way to appeal. This world is unexpectedly strict about women's chastity. The girl who finally mustered up the courage to call the police returned home disappointed, and all she received were various looks of sympathy or contempt.
Perhaps humans just like to see once-excellent elites fall from grace. The rumors within the academy intensified. Her parents' lack of understanding and the photo in Ben's hands became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and they pushed the girl to death with their own hands.
The girl's strong unwillingness made her choose the most famous way of suicide in the supernatural forum. Collin stared at the post on the girl's mobile phone and closed his eyes again in reluctance.
Red shoes, red skirt, and suicide by cutting her wrists in front of a mirror, the girl became a ghost-like earthbound spirit as she wished, and even used her own blood to open a passage to a ghost school.
That night, the girl turned into a ghost.
But it was on that night that the horrible-looking female ghost who could not be reincarnated discovered a cruel fact -
Ben is the Heavenly Master.
This ghost school that amazed her was built by the other party's ancestors. In order to develop the land without disturbing the sleeping souls, the ancestors of the Feng family chose to establish a ghost school with the strength of one family, and used countless mirrors to divide the boundary called y-inyá-ng.
Ben did not inherit his ancestors' character and morality, but he inherited their years of accumulation. Knowing that the female ghost was a grounded spirit with restricted movements, he decisively removed all the mirrors around him that might attract the female ghost, and mobilized his own connections to attribute the female ghost's suicide to "excessive academic pressure."
Even the only witness who was hiding behind a row of costumes that day was secretly bribed by him with money.
This is the result she got in exchange for giving up her freedom. Seeing that Ben was unharmed and not implicated, the female ghost, who was incompatible with the peaceful atmosphere of the ghost school, finally became unbalanced.
No one understood her resentment, no one understood her desire to go out, and those students who were chatting and laughing in the girls' restroom became her best prey.
The female ghost likes to see their frightened expressions. The pleasure of controlling everything can make her forget her own powerlessness temporarily.
Except Mia.
Seeing the girl who was scolded by her family and ostracized by her classmates because of her stupidity, the female ghost seemed to see her former self. She personally led Mia, who was crying in the girls' restroom, into the ghost school and gave her another cold but quiet campus.
But she didn't expect that a girl like Mia would have a boyfriend who loved her. A boy named Hunter heard about the legend of the girls' restroom in the art building from somewhere. The female ghost was annoyed by the other party's endless remedies, so she simply turned on the mirror and dragged the boy into the ghost school together.
The female ghost hated Ben, but she did not hate all boys because of that. She had planned to let Dan Ning go after he found Mia. However, who would have thought that only a few hours later, when Dan Ning met her again, he could use his dazed girlfriend as a shield without changing his expression.
It was from this moment that the gears of fate began to turn faster. The more paranoid female ghost met two game players who had changed their cores, and step by step she came to the current situation.
The truth mentioned in the main storyline poured into Collin's mind irresistibly. The repression in his memory seemed to overwhelm Collin like a substance. Although he knew that he was just a trace of consciousness, Collin still felt the feeling of suffocation.
Collin's consciousness was confused and his hands and feet were shaking uncoordinatedly, as if he was fighting with another person for his body.
But this time, the system that has always been good at digging holes finally worked.
[Ding Dong! The main quest has been completed. You will leave the dungeon in five seconds. Please be prepared.]
The countdown on the bracelet quickly went backwards and finally stopped at "00:00:05". The female ghost, with most of her body immersed in Collin's body, was suddenly ejected by a huge force, and even her red dress dimmed a little.
"You..." The female ghost steadied her body and looked at Collin in astonishment.
Who are you and why do you have memories that are completely different from this world?
Is the child locked in the laboratory really the boy in front of her?
And what exactly are the so-called systems and games?
There were many questions, but the female ghost had no chance to ask them at all. The moment she opened her mouth, the entire school began to collapse silently. Light green data codes flowed up and down, revealing the endless darkness hidden behind the white mist.
Time suddenly stopped, and the collapse of the body seemed to be paused. The female ghost blinked the only eye that could move, and looked at the young man whose eyes had lost their luster in confusion.
A handsome man with black hair and red eyes walked out from the infinite darkness. An indiscernible half-human high-gloss ball followed him, muttering complaints like "only causing trouble".
"Knowing too much is not a good thing," the man narrowed his eyes and put his slender index finger against his heartless lips, "I'm sorry that you have to experience those pains again."
"The world restarts."
The light ball announced the end of this copy world in a weak voice. The female ghost was confused and looked at the man blankly as he hugged the still boy and let time resume its flow.
[3. ］
The unique mechanical sound of the system echoed in his mind. Collin didn't understand what the more complicated emotions in the ghost girl's tearful eyes were. He just curled his eyes and showed his first sincere smile after entering the copy.
"Don't cry, let yourself go."
Blood spurted out, Collin raised his right hand, and the sharp dagger reflected the moonlight and pierced into his chest like lightning.
Ben is dead, and the remaining "Collin" will never be alive after he leaves.
"And the little girl in the ghost school, don't forget her."
[1. ］
His body went limp, Collin's eyes turned dark, and he felt himself falling into a cold yet familiar embrace.
"Good boy," the other party patted his head gently as if to comfort him, with a rare gentleness in his voice, "Although you are a little silly..."
"But you did it beautifully."
