"Wrong location! Wrong location! Players will be teleported back to the copy site in three seconds."
"1, 2, 3—Start transmission."
…
The cold wind rolled up the withered leaves on the ground, and the cool breath rushed up from the exposed ankles and along the wide legs of the school uniform trousers. Xu Zhixi couldn't help but shiver.
Her eyes wandered around, and she opened her lips slightly in shock.
It was only a few hours for her, but this campus seemed to have experienced several years.
The dead branches of the ivy are spread all over the yellowed walls, and weeds grow wildly on the originally well-manicured lawn. The dead leaves on the cement floor are mixed with plastic and paper that have not been completely weathered.
But the teaching building not far away still had lights on.
"Ding--"
Suddenly, a quick and short ringing sound echoed throughout the campus.
This was followed by the familiar voice of the female announcer: "This exam is over..."
This campus seems to have been abandoned for a long time. Why are there still exams?
Xu Zhixi walked towards the teaching building, but immediately after the announcement of the end of the exam, a cold and gloomy voice came from the radio.
Xu Zhixi stopped.
"List of absentees for this exam: Hu Rong, Shen Miao, Qin Zhi..."
His voice suddenly paused.
Immediately afterwards, a strange tone came from the radio, saying word by word: "Xu, Zhi, Xi."
The young man stared at the familiar name on the page, tapping his fingertips on the table.
Bad students who miss exams will be punished.
Little liars who lie should also be punished.
…
Although the lights in all the classrooms in the entire building were on, except for Xu Zhixi, there was no one there.
The lights in the corridor were flickering and crumbling, and there were torn test paper pages everywhere.
Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps came from the top of the stairs. She was panic-stricken. Her eyes were fixed on the entrance of the corridor, and a woman with messy hair ran out from around the corner.
"Sister Azhi..."
Qin Zhi grabbed her wrist and ran forward, panting and saying hurriedly: "Now is the real copy. We are judged to have missed the exam, and those ghosts are coming to catch us -"
She braked suddenly.
The road ahead is blocked.
A tall figure appeared in front, and the shadow printed on the ground stretched very long.
Qin Zhi cursed in a low voice and pulled Xu Zhixi to turn around.
However, the road behind him was also blocked.
Several figures in blue and white school uniforms stood side by side. Their skin color was pale and bloodless, and their eyes were empty and dark.
"Confinement—Confinement—Confinement—"
They walked towards the two of them stiffly.
The two were in a dilemma.
Qin Zhi gritted his teeth and said, "Zhi Xi, I'll deal with the ghosts in the front, and you can take care of the one in the back."
"good……"
Xu Zhixi took out the sickle.
Qin Zhi took out a knife as long as an arm, rushed towards the blue and white figure, swung the knife towards them, but cut into nothingness. The blade of the knife went straight through those figures, and Qin Zhi rushed behind them.
She swung the knife and slashed at them again, but it still passed through them exactly the same.
"Confinement—Confinement—"
They turned around and surrounded Qin Zhi, stretching their hands forward with their palms facing her. The white papers all over the sky came towards her, entangling her completely.
And the other side.
Xu Zhixi held the sickle and stared at the figure getting closer and closer. She swung the sword over, but the man teleported to her and grabbed her wrist holding the sword.
"Why, is this how you treat the lover you admit to yourself?"
The young man's face was full of joking, and his jet-black hair disappeared into the night.
Pure black eyes locked her tightly, and her thin red lips curved into a mocking arc.
"Jin'an?"
The girl's eyes burst with joy.
However, before he could continue his joy, he was suddenly shocked by the coldness in the young man's eyes.
He snatched the scythe handle from the girl's hand, threw it on the ground casually, and said in a nonchalant tone: "A complete liar, how dare you appear in front of me again?"
The sickle struck the ground with a clear sound, and Xu Zhixi was confused by the boy's incomprehensible words.
"Jin An, I didn't lie to you..."
Hearing this, the young man sneered, "You once said you wanted to find justice for me, and you even said you were my lover, but you disappeared for ten years."
"And you said you weren't a liar."
He lifted up a strand of the girl's hair and said in a deep voice: "Bad students who miss the exam should be punished."
He put the strand of hair behind her ear and continued: "The little liar who left without saying goodbye deserves to be punished."
…
There are four players sitting in the brightly lit classroom.
Everyone is far apart and has a stack of test papers in front of them.
There were several blue and white figures standing beside each of them, supervising them to independently complete the test papers in front of them.
There was only one young man standing next to Xu Zhixi.
"This exam officially begins..."
The sound of the start of the exam came over the radio.
The other three people, forced by the demon's power, could only lower their heads, hold pens, and work hard on the questions.
The tip of the pen rustled on the paper.
Xu Zhixi and the boy looked at each other, and she wrote on the test paper——
I'm not lying to you, please listen to my explanation.
The young man said nothing, and looked at the line of words with a faint look.
I didn't leave without saying goodbye. I went with the dean of academic affairs that day——
The pen tip is broken.
Black juice gushes out and engulfs the small words on the paper.
Same as before.
Just when she was about to explain, her throat suddenly lost her voice, and she could only say pale words like, "I can't talk to you for the time being."
Nothing about what happened that night should be revealed.
AN disappeared without a trace after issuing the warning.
Somehow, this copy seemed to have a power that was different from Jin An's power, preventing Xu Zhixi from explaining.
No matter how Xu Zhixi called it, it didn't respond.
What is the purpose of that power?
Xu Zhixi suddenly felt a chill running down her spine.
She was still thinking, until cold fingertips pinched the base of her ear, "Why, it's just that you missed the exam. Now you don't cherish the opportunity to make up the exam. Do you want to be punished?"
"Confinement—Confinement—"
Other student ghosts in blue and white school uniforms seemed to echo his words, clapping their hands and shouting.
"Zhi Xi, write the paper quickly."
Qin Zhi glanced at her, but was blocked by the student ghost.
The cold eyes met hers, and she had no choice but to lower her head again.
Xu Zhixi took out a new pen and was about to start writing, but the pen was taken away by the boy.
"I forgot that you don't like exams and always rush to be punished. In this case, I will satisfy you."
The young man smiled coldly.
A familiar all-black, windowless house.
The young man deliberately asked in a playful manner: "You haven't been here for ten years, do you still miss me?"
Xu Zhixi: "..."
Can she say that she was actually here last night?
And it’s not like she has any special hobbies and likes to be locked up.
"I don't miss..."
"That's true..." The young man sneered, "But last time you said you were in solitary confinement because of me. But, you were so frightened that you ran away the next day."
"Jin'an, I didn't run away, I went-"
"Going to what?"
"kill--"
Xu Zhixi opened her lips, but couldn't speak.
Thin beads of sweat formed on her forehead.
His eyes were full of confusion.
The young man lowered his voice, but did not continue to accuse, but said: "You want to say something, but you can't say it, right?"
Xu Zhixi nodded suddenly.
"Then stop talking and listen to what happened to me in the past ten years."
