Chapter 12 Dormitory Civility Rules (VIII)
In the dim and cold room, a half-crawled female ghost was struggling hard, and a ruthless toilet plunger was pressed against its face, the handle of which was held in the hand of a slender girl.
[Toilet Plunger Soldier: There is a toilet plunger that is very handy and it is very satisfied with its owner. Using it, your efficiency will be greatly improved.]
At this moment, the effect of this ability was reflected. Tang Xinjue felt that his strength and speed had been enhanced invisibly, and the state of the things under the toilet was also transmitted to his mind in detail, even clearer than direct physical contact.
"How dare you!! I'm going to kill you!!"
Xiaohong's shrill howls were like a knife scratching glass, like layers of mental pollution surging up, but Tang Xinjue remained indifferent, and the power infused in his hands steadily increased.
The more Xiaohong struggled and tore, the more her face was welded to the rubber head. She was so angry that she lost her mind, but she couldn't break free. When had she ever suffered such a setback?
At this moment, its lower body suddenly sank, as if someone had bumped into it head-on and almost knocked it back into the crack in the ground.
"Wanqing?"
Tang Xin Jue cried out.
It turned out that Zheng Wanqing had just woken up and saw Tang Xinjue in a stalemate with a white female ghost. She had no strength left in her body, so she simply rolled off the bed and fell onto Xiaohong, just in time to push its face into the toilet plunger.
"Hurry up, run." Zheng Wanqing only had time to utter a few words before she fainted again due to the great impact.
"..." Seeing that her lower body could not move, Xiaohong sneered, and suddenly stretched out her arms forward, stretching them like rubber bands, and raised her hands to grab Tang Xinjue!
Tang Xinjue was holding the toilet plunger and couldn't dodge, but he didn't panic. He said coldly: "You don't want this face anymore?"
Xiaohong's movements suddenly froze.
Only then did it realize that the intense struggle just now had caused the facial features on this face to be dislocated. Let alone continuing to evolve into a complete appearance, it was probably now no different from a ball of paste.
"Without this face, can you really come in?"
After a while, Xiao Hong chuckled: "Do you think you can stop me like this?"
Tang Xin Jue also raised the corners of his lips: "Then why don't you move?"
Xiaohong: “…” If you have the guts, take this thing down and ask me this question again?
Tang Xinjue's guess was correct. If Xiaohong wanted to enter the dormitory during the day, she not only needed an "identity", but also a face that truly belonged here in order to be recognized by the rules.
There is only one real key, and everything else is just bluffing to confuse their senses.
The timing of her action was just right when the goblin looked the most terrifying, but was actually the weakest. The goblin was controlled and was in a dilemma. The situation reversed in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Hong was silent for a few seconds, and she actually stopped making a fuss. She squeezed out a voice from under the plunger: "You are very smart."
If it were an ordinary person, at this moment, they would either be too frightened to move, or run away screaming and crying. They wouldn't even have the courage to attack the ghost, let alone guess the truth and accurately find the weak spot within a few seconds.
The girl in front of him was obviously prepared, from picking up this strange thing to putting it on its face.
Tang Xin Jue said calmly: "People always show their potential when they are in danger."
Xiao Hong: ...Your hands weren't even shaking!
The initiative had been forced to shift, and it was also an NPC that could bend and stretch. It changed its tone and coaxed, "Even if you destroy my face, as long as you don't put it on the desk before dark, it won't be considered as completing the mission."
"Besides, what else can this cowardly roommate do except hold you back? Without her, your future exams and competitions will go much more smoothly. Don't you want to finish the game and return to reality?"
"Give me her face, and I promise not to hurt you. I'll also give you a lot of props... This is a sure win deal."
To show her sincerity, Xiao Hong even retracted her fingernails and shook the unconscious Zheng Wanqing to the ground: "I just want a face, you can also complete the task. Believe me, there is no NPC in the game that is easier to talk to than me."
It waited for Tang Xinjue's response with great anticipation.
In the darkness, only the girl's chuckle could be heard. "Since we're talking about a deal, I'm more interested."
"Tell me, which is more helpful for a relationship, canceling three dates in a row or going on a date with a face that has misaligned features?"
Xiao Hong: “…”
She said sinisterly: "Are you threatening me?"
"It seems that this option is not very attractive, so the second option: your phone is flushed into the sewer, or your head is sucked into the sewer, which one do you choose?"
Xiao Hong screamed: "Do you dare to put my head into the sewer?!"
"Or the third option..."
The female ghost almost jumped up: "You still have???"
"If I send a text message to all the contacts in your phone at the same time," Tang Xinjue said slowly, "guess what I will send?"
"..." Xiao Hong calmed down and sneered, "I was almost fooled by you. You are a living person, how could you use my phone?"
Do you really think she has no intelligence?
Tang Xinjue raised his eyebrows in surprise, "I don't know this rule." Because...
She raised her hand, and the number she was dialing was clearly displayed on the screen of her old flip phone: "I can use it."
The call was connected, and the gruff voice of a middle-aged man came from the other end of the phone: "Sunshine Supermarket, no delivery during the day, manicures haven't arrived yet...Xiaohong? Damn it, I was just looking for you, little bastard! What does your text message mean?"
Inside the supermarket, the shelves were scattered all over the floor. Zhang You was hiding under the counter, dragging his almost unconscious body. Outside the counter, one could hear the heavy footsteps of a fat man.
"If I hadn't been unable to move during the day, I would have caught you long ago. There's no point in hiding. Come out now and I can give you food. You must be very hungry now, right?"
Speaking of food, the supermarket owner swallowed his saliva instead. Greed was in his eyes. He swung the axe in his hand hard to the side, hitting the counter.
Zhang You covered his mouth tightly, not allowing himself to make any sound.
"Fear, pain, hunger... When I catch you, the snacks I make from you will be very popular."
The supermarket owner muttered to himself maliciously, and just as he was about to step over the counter, he suddenly stopped.
The supermarket owner turned his head with a creaking sound and smiled from ear to ear: "Let me see, what did I find?"
The fat palm fell down, and the counter trembled as if it was about to be overturned. Zhang You gathered up his last bit of strength, ready to run out of the supermarket regardless of everything, even if night was about to fall.
"Ding-ling-ling, ding-ling-ling~"
The sudden ring of the cell phone diverted the fat man's attention. He was stunned and took out his cell phone while cursing:
"Sunshine Supermarket, no delivery during the day, manicures haven't arrived yet - wait, this number, Xiaohong? Damn, I was looking for you, you little bastard ! What does your text message mean?"
"This is impossible—Tang Xin Jue!!!"
After a brief silence, a violent scream that reached the sky erupted from the other end, shaking the supermarket owner's hands and causing his cell phone to fall with a click, right under the counter.
Zhang You held his breath and looked at the phone that fell to his feet. The screen still showed "calling". The screaming was not over yet, but was interrupted by a familiar girl's voice:
"Hearing is believing. Do you still think I'm lying to you?"
The voice she heard was clearly the voice of her roommate, Tang Xinjue!
On the other end of the call, in the dormitory.
"What do you want?"
Xiaohong tried her best to suppress her anger. After all, the angrier she got, the more her head twisted under the suction of the damn thing on her face. If it twisted any further, she would be twisted into a gourd.
The face is not her own face, but the head is her own head!
Tang Xin Jue: "First, we have to clear the customs."
"The head is in my hands. Even if you successfully find the lost property, you will be able to successfully pass the level by eight o'clock." Xiao Hong answered impatiently.
She had indeed been lying before.
"Let my roommate Zhang You come back safely."
Xiao Hong sneered: "That's not something I can control. But with a roommate as powerful as you, she shouldn't have any problems."
"Where's Guo Guo?"
"She'll be fine after the test. Stop talking nonsense and let me go!"
Tang Xinjue nodded: "That prop..."
"Don't go too far!" Xiao Hong was furious. Her dignity had been lost so much, and this perverted human still wanted to take advantage of her?
She was about to curse when she felt a sudden pain on her face - light poured in, Tang Xinjue pulled out the toilet plunger and threw his cell phone at the same time.
Xiao Hong hurriedly caught it, but after tapping it twice, her already pale face turned even paler:
"You, how dare you?!"
Tang Xin Jue said slowly, "Thanks to you for taking care of our dormitory these past two days, so, in accordance with the requirements of the dormitory's civilized code, we are united and friendly, helping each other. As the best roommate in the world, I decided to help my roommate who is addicted to love concentrate on her studies, so I specially helped her delete all her contacts. Am I doing the right thing?"
The light of righteousness shines on the earth.
The female ghost was so angry that she was shaking all over. She raised her hand to tear up the agreement and pounce on him, but she caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye. She was stunned: "Wait, what you used to hold my face just now, is this...?"
Lifting the toilet plunger, Tang Xinjue said softly, "That's right."
"……ah!!!"
An unprecedented shrill cry came from the mouth of the collapsed ghost, and white smoke rose from its body, and its entire head began to melt in the white smoke. It could be said that smoke was coming out of all its orifices.
At the same time, the clock finally reached eight o'clock, and the light suddenly dimmed. A bell like the end of the exam sounded in the air:
"Congratulations, you have successfully found the item that Xiaohong needs, and Xiaohong has got it. She will be grateful to you!"
Xiao Hong: “…”
Does it look like gratitude?
The testable rules don't care what it thinks. Everything is suspended at this moment, and only the melodious sound continues:
[All dormitories receive buff: Xiaohong's gratitude]
A beam of light fell from the sky and landed on Xiaohong, whose body was distorted, as if trying to extract something.
Xiaohong finally panicked. It tried its best to adjust its facial expression, but no matter how it changed, it was covered with a thick layer of resentment and hatred, and it was unable to show an expression of "gratitude".
Finished!
The beam flashed, making a crackling sound like an electric current failure. Xiao Hong immediately cried out in pain, and the white eyes on her body became more intense. In an instant, it completely melted, leaving only a pool of black water and a blurry head.
[Ding, there is a problem with the score calculation... The problem has been solved, random compensation rewards will be issued, and the calculation will continue.]
[Completion of basic test tasks: 100%]
[Survival rate of dormitory members: 100%]
[Dorm completeness: 70%]
[Test completion time: 2 days (less than the maximum completion time of 6 days)]
[Basic score: 67 points]
The soft white beam faded and disappeared, and a new golden beam was cast down:
[Additional points detected, calculation in progress]
[When the game starts and the dormitory is full: +10 points]
[Destroy a ghost-type NPC: +10 points]
[The introduction and development of the topic, in line with the requirements of dormitory civility rules: +10 points]
"Your total score for this [Dormitory Civility Test] is 97 points (out of 100), and the rating is: Perfect!"
As pleasant celebratory music sounded, the cold and gloomy atmosphere in the room was swept away, and a huge option popped up in front of Tang Xinjue:
"We are about to start evaluating the individual performance of dormitory members. We have detected that the dormitory members are incomplete. Do you want to start the evaluation?"
"whether"
Tang Xin Jue shouted without even thinking: "Zhang You hasn't come back yet! Can you let her come back?"
The option flashed, and the subtitles actually changed:
"You can use up a random reward opportunity to transfer all dormitory members back to the dormitory at the same time and restore them to full health. Do you want to use it?"
"whether"
He clicked "Yes" without hesitation, and the dormitory door suddenly opened automatically. Within two seconds, Zhang You appeared outside the door, running desperately, followed by a fat man with an axe.
A flash of light appeared, and Zhang You teleported to the door. The fat man had to stop, and his unwilling and greedy eyes swept around the dormitory, and he saw the head on the ground unexpectedly.
Xiaohong, with only her head left, glared at him: What are you looking at!
Supermarket owner: “…”
He looked up and saw a frail girl holding a toilet plunger. Dazzling high-score buffs were added to her layer by layer as if they were free. The girl was bathed in golden light and smiled at him kindly and gently.
“…”
The fat on his face twitched twice, and he took a step back, decisively hiding back in the darkness.
