Chapter 46: Killing on Campus (I)
"In an absurd world, the eternal truth is death."
-----Anonymous
[World loading completed, A-level world restricted area [Killing Campus] has been opened. ]
A-level world introduction is partially disclosed:
[It’s the start of another school year, and this university, which is known as the best in the world, has welcomed a new batch of fresh blood. 】
[The school's most popular major, Modern Funeral Technology and Management, has attracted widespread attention from all over the world, and this year's professional recruitment plan is 50 people, an increase of 30 people compared to last year. ]
[All prospective freshmen please follow the steps of the receptionist, bring your personal files and admission letters, and enter this mysterious campus together. ]
【Takishui Vocational and Technical College welcomes you to join us. 】
"College? Smiled."
"I never thought that the first time I received an acceptance letter was in this crappy game. Is there a class schedule?"
"With your mother, do you really think you are here to go to school?"
"vomit."
"Be quiet, I'm already shaking, if you keep making noise I'll vomit all over you."
"Who do you think you are?"
Stuffy, smelly, dizzy and noisy.
When Xiang Liangyu opened his eyes, he found himself on a bumpy bus.
She stretched out her hand and opened the dirty black window a little. The whistling and piercing sound of the wind echoed throughout the entire carriage. The noise around her ears seemed to be blown away by the strong wind.
The LED display screen in front flashed and scrolled "Takishui Vocational and Technical College welcomes you".
Xiang Liangyu sat up straight without making a sound. She was wearing an ordinary pleated skirt, the length and style of which suited her taste. Xiang Liangyu looked up and found herself sitting in the first row, with the sleepy driver in front of her.
The player's expression was reflected in the rearview mirror, silent tension spread in the car, and the sound of the wind became even harsher.
Xiang Liangyu quickly digested the world settings given to her by the system. She took the handheld speaker hanging next to her, put it close to her mouth to test the sound, and the harsh sound echoed in the car.
She stood up in the aisle, glanced at the players who wanted to bury their heads in their chests, pointed the speaker at their mouths, and said in a steady tone:
"Welcome to Longshui Vocational and Technical College's direct school bus. The bus will arrive at the school in half an hour."
The system in Xiang Liangyu's mind made a "ding dong" sound:
[As an outstanding sophomore student at Taki Vocational College, you accepted the school's request to [lead 30 freshmen] to report.]
Thirty freshmen? She raised her eyes and took a quick look at the huge crowd. It didn't look like there were thirty of them. It looked more like fifty.
[Current number of people on the bus: 50. ]
Or, the remaining twenty...
"that……"
A weak voice sounded, Xiang Liangyu looked up and saw a tall and thin man with a pale face and hunched back: "Can you stop halfway? I want to go to the toilet..."
Disclosure of player personal information:
【Name: Wang Er】
Many players cast their eyes over. Some who were too timid to look up, held their breath and pricked up their ears to listen carefully.
It’s no wonder they were so nervous. From the moment they entered the bus, they saw Xiang Liangyu drowsy in the front seat.
There are few players who are good-looking and pay attention to dressing up. In order to survive, most players try their best to reduce their presence so as not to attract too much attention.
But players are afraid of her not because of her beauty, but because she is completely famous among the players!
In the player lobby at the end of the previous world, the captain of the "Salted Fish" team used the Immortal Gold Medal to resurrect. The first thing he did was to draw a picture of Xiang Liangyu and post it on the organization's announcement, warning team members to be careful of this person.
The speed at which players spread the news was even faster than the speed of lightning in the sky. One person told ten people, ten told a hundred people, and all the high-level players knew that there was a terrifying newcomer with great strength among the NPCs.
They had never expected that this new NPC would appear in this A-level world known as a forbidden zone.
It was extremely difficult, and it was like Shura Hell Mode from the start. Some people even wanted to just jump out of the car.
The bus ran over a huge puddle, splashing water everywhere. After shaking violently for a while, the vehicle stalled.
Xiang Liangyu pointed at the car door and said, "Go."
Wang Er got out of the car with his legs tucked in a strange position, and he didn't forget to say, "Don't peek."
As soon as the bus started, he felt uncomfortable all over. Wang Er thought it was a side effect of using props in the previous world, so he didn't pay attention to it. As a result, the longer the time dragged on, the more unbearable he became.
After seeking help from a doctor, he realized that he just had a normal stomachache.
Wang Er, who could no longer bear it, could only muster up the courage to ask the NPC. After all, people have three urgent needs, so she should agree, right?
Wang Er got off the car, and Xiang Liangyu asked, "Is there anyone else?"
She grinned mysteriously, "This is the only chance."
After three seconds of silence, five more players who had stomachaches as soon as they got on the bus raised their hands and asked to get off to relieve themselves.
"I don't feel how scary she is. How bad can she be if she lets people get off the bus to relieve themselves? There is a world where I start on a bus, and the NPC on the bus won't let me get off the bus to relieve myself."
"Is she the person Jiang Cangshu is talking about? Her painting skills are indeed not that good."
The noise in the car started again. Xiang Liangyu listened to the buzzing sound like a mosquito, put away his smile, and stepped aside to let the car pass. After the last person got off the car, Xiang Liangyu calmly ordered: "Close the door and drive."
Player in the car: “?”
Players under the car: “????”
Some people didn't even pull up their pants and ran after the car. Their voices could be heard from far away: "I haven't gotten in the car yet! Senior! Senior! Senior..."
The sound stopped abruptly, and some players used props to get in front of the bus and tried to stop it. The driver wanted to step on the brakes, but Xiang Liangyu approached the driver with a smile and warned him: "Don't stop."
The driver tightened his grip on the steering wheel, and then, under Xiang Liangyu's gaze, he stepped on the accelerator.
Blood splattered on the windshield, and the driver pressed the wipers, coating the glass evenly with red.
[The number of non-prospective freshmen has been reduced, and the current number of people on the bus is 44. ]
The breathing stopped suddenly, and the carriage was completely silent. The players had their own thoughts, but on the surface they all showed the same fear.
Xiang Liangyu looked at the players in the car with a cold expression, without any emotion. Her lazy tone and her slow clapping made the players tense: "Now, take out your admission letters."
She took in all the players' expressions: some were scared, some were panicking, and some were looking down quickly to find their admission letters. Xiang Liangyu could basically tell who was a prospective freshman.
A voice suddenly sounded: "Senior, what should I do if I don't bring my admission letter?"
Xiang Liangyu looked around and asked, "Who's talking?"
A white arm was raised, and a plump little girl appeared in the aisle. She stood up to the same height as the backrest, no wonder she didn't see who was speaking just now.
The girl has a round face, with two concave spots next to her mouth when she smiles. The personal information displayed next to her is:
[Name: Wu Yun
Status: Freshman
Health: 250%
Available props: (A-level) Invincible syringe (one injection to restore full health)]
Xiang Liangyu: “…”
If I remember correctly, she didn't look like this in her previous life.
Xiang Liangyu asked the system: "Can players change their appearance themselves?"
System: [Changing appearance is a privilege for senior players. 】
Xiang Liangyu: “!”
Wu Yun, the evil doctor, had won fifty games in a row!
No wonder she has two props.
Xiang Liangyu asked coldly, "Did you not bring it, or did you not bring it?"
Wu Yun took out his admission letter and said with a smile as if to show off: "I've got it."
Xiang Liangyu: “…”
What, his appearance has changed, and his personality has changed too? An innocent college student?
Xiang Liangyu looked away and ignored her, but walked to the third row of girls who were shaking like a sieve. He put his cold palm on her head, bent down to get close to her, and said with the first smile since she got on the bus, "Classmate, where is your admission letter?"
The girl caught a glimpse of her own smiling face from the corner of her eye, and she felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave, as if she had been stared at by a wolf. She did not speak, but her shaking became even worse.
Xiang Liangyu took a look at her prop, which was the "Horror Chainsaw". She put away her smile and patted her head. Unexpectedly, she did not embarrass her, but returned to her seat: "We are about to enter the tunnel, please fasten your seat belts and do not chase or play."
Player: “…”
Chasing and fighting?
The carriage suddenly became dark. Strangely, the tunnel lights were not on. The entrance at the rear was getting farther and farther away, and the circle of light was rapidly moving away until the bus was completely immersed in the darkness.
The "click" sound did not attract anyone's attention amid the shaking and buzzing sound caused by the rolling tires.
Xiang Liangyu unbuckled his seat belt and left his seat.
The bus stopped steadily in front of the school gate. No one was seen moving around through the windows tightly covered by curtains, but the interior of the bus was filled with blood.
From the moment we exited the tunnel, the sky in the car brightened up, and everywhere we looked, there was blood everywhere. No one dared to speak, no one dared to breathe loudly. Everyone's face turned pale, staring at the backrest of the front seat, even though there was a warm corpse next to them.
They believed it. Jiang Cangshu was not lying to me! This NPC was so cruel!
"Can Juli crush a person's head with his bare hands? She even killed the driver. Is this a malicious killing of a colleague? How can I report her?"
"Brother, please be quiet, she's been looking over here!"
Xiang Liangyu glanced at the player who claimed to report her.
Player personal information has been published:
[Name: Liming Shi
Status: Freshman
Health: 100%
Available props (sorted by level): (A-level) Gobang (For players, nothing is more important than the feel of the chess pieces.)]
Master Liming smiled and waved at her, and Xiang Liangyu looked away.
[The number of non-prospective freshmen has been reduced, and the current number of people on the bus is 30. Congratulations to the senior sister for completing the pilot task [welcoming freshmen]. ]
The freshmen, whose faces were pale and still not fully recovered, got off the bus one after another under the command of Xiang Liangyu. The first thing they saw was a floor-to-ceiling doorplate with "Lingshui Vocational and Technical College" written on it from left to right.
The sound of a large iron gate being pushed open was heard, and the players who were gathered in front of the car, hesitating and unwilling to move forward, were forced to enter the campus.
The moment I stepped into the school gate, a chill ran up from my feet to my head. The school hidden in the wilderness was surprisingly luxurious.
However, this beautiful and magnificent campus looks very strange in the eyes of players. There are colorful umbrellas on both sides of the wide and straight road, and under them are seniors waiting for the new students.
There was no talking or laughing, no complaining about the scorching summer heat. After the players entered the school, they all turned their heads. Countless pairs of dead, dark eyes stared at the new students who walked into the campus without blinking.
The school, which was far away from the mountain road and had a winding path, did not match the dense trees around it. It looked more like a place where corpses were dumped than a school. There were only a few shabby umbrellas in the huge campus, and the seniors who were welcoming the new students all looked in the same direction from the same angle, which was a strange feeling.
They sat there so still that at first glance they looked like extremely lifelike wax figures.
The scorching sun like a fireball was burning the earth. The players were obviously feeling hot and uncomfortable, but they felt a chill deep into their bones on their soaked backs.
With a "ding dong" sound, a familiar system sound appeared in the player's mind. The system that had been pretending to be dead since entering the world finally came alive:
[As a freshman who failed the college entrance examination and entered Longzhi, you have all been assigned to the school's popular major, Modern Funeral Technology and Management! Due to the particularity of the major, the funeral major will directly face the school's most important secrets, so please watch less and ask less. ]
[Main quest [Graduation safely] has been activated, please...]
The following words turned into a noisy sound of electricity. The crackling sound made the players even more anxious and uneasy, not understanding why even the system was affected by this world.
The senior students who were sitting under the umbrellas started to move, with stiff smiles on their faces, as they slowly walked towards the school gate.
They walked very slowly, without sweating or blushing even under the scorching sun, as if the fireballs above their heads were a magical tool to cool them down.
Xiang Liangyu also received a task:
[The main quest has not yet been activated. ]
[Due to the shortage of dormitories, the college will assign three freshmen to share a dormitory with you. Please abide by the dormitory rules. ]
