Chapter 288 University Town Civility Code (VIII)
Guo Guo opened his eyes wide. "How can you say such cold words in the university town with the temperature close to 0 degrees Celsius?"
——Can the friendly interaction between students and teachers be called a trap?
White Eyeball snorted indifferently: "Compared to the last time we met, you're a lot bolder."
Guo Guo answered modestly: "Actually, I'm still very timid."
It’s just that she has an extremely clear sense of malice and can tell at a glance whether the other party is neutral.
The last time they met, Bai Yanqiu was still an invigilator for the college entrance exam. While he wasn't as biased towards the candidates as the counselors, he was at least reasonable. Seeing that it was in charge of the Inspectorate, the four of them felt a sense of relief.
As expected, White Eyeball didn't continue to talk nonsense. He just asked briefly, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Renewing your student ID?"
After listening to 606's statement, he thought for two seconds. "If you had come a few days earlier, things would have been simple, but now it's not that easy. The Ministry of Education recently said that a large number of students are applying for admission to the first-tier universities, and they need to print admission tickets and other materials. They've taken away all the custom-made paper."
Tang Xin Jue: "Do we need to find some paper?"
They are not surprised that they will always encounter various troubles on the way to completing the main mission.
Bai Yan rolled his eyes slightly and said with a smile, "There's no need to go through so much trouble. Didn't you just bring the raw materials?"
"?"
606 was startled, and followed the other party's line of sight to look at the ashen-faced Xiao Ming and the human-headed ghost, and then realized what the white eyeball meant.
The paper material for custom student ID cards comes from the ghost student?!
"No, I don't want to be made into paper!"
The head of the group burst into tears and said, "Please ask the Inspectorate to investigate this matter. I was forced to come here! These students robbed and pillaged us as soon as they entered the university town. They also threatened that we must provide them with directions and escorts. If we didn't comply, they would attack us. This behavior seriously affects the peaceful and friendly atmosphere of the university town!"
Zheng Wanqing frowned: "Didn't you block our way at the beginning and rush over to beg us to help you get here?"
If it was simply afraid of being tricked, its expression wouldn't be surprising. But judging by its reaction when it saw the Inspectorate, it clearly knew the source of the student ID card materials. So why had it not only agreed to go with them to the Academic Affairs Office, but also not mentioned it at all on the way?
The head of the group refuted them firmly, "Nonsense! Who asked you for help? Why would we, the local students, ask a few unfamiliar candidates for help with such a small matter? The inspectors knew they were lying the moment they heard it!"
Rolling his eyes at it, he said, "But I noticed you have a contract stipulating that you must do your best to help them obtain their student IDs. Therefore, they do have the right to obtain information from you."
Xiao Ming scoffed, "The new students have been here for so long, and I thought they were all rookies. How dare they sign a contract so easily?"
Head: “…”
"You too, you're all first-tier students, yet you act so ignorant. Isn't this normal for a university town?" Xiao Ming said arrogantly to 606. "Of course, the university town has always treated students very humanely. Being turned into raw materials won't directly lead to our demise, it'll just be a serious downgrade."
606: “…”
I still hope that the real world will never be so "humane" and that it will only exist in university towns.
Seeing the situation was not good, the head shouted: "But I only have three books. If I downgrade again, I will become a wandering soul whose life is worse than death. Wuwuwuwu, please save me!"
Perhaps realizing that asking the Inspectorate for help was useless, the man changed his expression at the speed of light and began to beg for mercy from 606, crying about how difficult his life was.
Tang Xin Jue reminded it, "Don't you want to prove your innocence regarding the theft of other students' cell phones? There's still time."
After all, in the side quest column of 606, the four words "Suspicion of Theft" were still flashing in a vague way.
The head stopped crying, and his expression changed subtly: "Ah, this, I didn't expect you guys are still willing to help me, you are really kind people, I am so touched."
Seeing it hesitating and talking about other things, refusing to get to the point, what else could the few people not understand?
Zheng Wanqing said it all in one sentence: "So, there is no slander at all. You are the culprit who stole the battery of other students' phones!"
Human Head: "Actually, this is a misunderstanding. I can explain..."
Before it could continue to stall for time, the voice of White Eyeball interrupted it with a sneer and said to the four people in 606:
"Luckily, you didn't enter the Academic Affairs Office. There are some students in the university town who like to cooperate with certain [malfeasant officials] in the Academic Affairs Office, specifically tricking candidates into entering to serve as fertilizer and nutrients for them. Oh, this is also one of the reasons why the Academic Affairs Office is currently frozen."
However, this human head was extremely greedy. Not only did it steal the health points of other ghosts, it also turned its attention to the candidates and ate both at the same time, which is why it failed at 606.
——It turns out it was a scam from the beginning?!
As soon as Bai Yanqiu finished speaking, the four of them heard a sudden sound of breaking air behind them. They saw that the head of the person who was crying and begging for mercy just now suddenly expanded to four or five meters high !
The head, which had been completely exposed, finally stopped hiding. It leaned against the ceiling and lowered its head. Its two huge eyeballs covered with blood vessels bulged out of the eye sockets and looked down at the four people. Its lips rolled to reveal a black mouth full of fangs and mucus, and it bit Guo Guo, who was the farthest away, at lightning speed!
Guo Guo: “What—”
Before she could make a sound, the head swallowed her whole.
Amidst the grinding sounds of teeth, the head gave a sinister grin. "It's our first meeting, and I haven't introduced myself properly yet. My ability is called 'Devouring the World'. I originally had no limbs, but my body structure grew specifically for devouring you."
After saying that, the ghost's head shook violently and continued to grow, threatening to crack the door frame of the room.
"The ceiling... another repair bill..."
"Don't scratch the paint... Ouch..."
"Students nowadays don't know how to take care of public property..."
As the ghosts moved, whispers suddenly emerged from all directions. It was only then that 606 realized that behind the piles of documents on the other desks, there were actually eyeballs! However, they were smaller than the whites of their eyes, mostly gray or dark brown in color, and mostly invisible, observing them from the gaps between the countless documents.
[What level is it now?] Looking at the appearance of the human head, Zhang You's voice echoed through the mental link.
There is no doubt that the three basic levels that the human head initially showed were deceptive, and its true strength could never be just three.
Tang Xin Jue: [Close to one, but not enough.]
Compared with Li Xiaoyu or Wu Shi, the power of this head is more superficial and terrifying. Once its flaw is discovered, it can be easily defeated.
What's more, what it is facing now is the complete version of 606 whose individual strength is at the peak.
The attack of the human head did not last long. Just as it tried to swallow Zhang You again, a sharp tearing pain suddenly appeared in its mouth, followed by a dizziness as if it was hit by a hammer from the inside - the shadow of a silver fist pierced through its upper jaw and broke out from the top of its head!
After prying the mouth of the human head open, Zheng Wanqing poked her head out with disgust: "Throw two purification bombs at me."
Human head: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?"
Isn’t it eating Guoguo?
At the same time, "Zheng Wanqing" who was standing next to Tang Xinjue and Zhang You rubbed his face, and his appearance turned into Guo Guo's.
"Luckily I prepared early and bought the [ID replacement card] in advance."
Although Guo Guo's purification skill was also a natural counter to ghosts, she might not be able to react as quickly as Zheng Wanqing if she was directly devoured. Having suffered losses in many dungeons before, this item could be considered a life-saving artifact.
There were two more loud explosions, and the head was blown off. Zheng Wanqing also jumped out and asked directly, "Can we make raw materials now?"
"Wait a moment... Young man, don't be impatient..."
"Process... and process..."
The whispers started up again, and then everyone saw documents flying around from table to table, each eyeball having to sign before it was passed to the next.
606: ...
No, you are all colleagues sitting in the same room, can't the process be a little faster?
