Chapter 79: Calm
The astonishing power frightened the people on the ground so much that their faces turned pale, but they soon started cheering.
The outburst of long-suppressed emotions and the joy of escaping death made these players who had experienced many dungeons express their true feelings.
"Uncle Chen successfully snatched the Fire Ghost's life flame. We are saved!"
"Great! As expected of Uncle Chen, we are so lucky to have survived the hell mode."
"No... not necessarily. The fire dragon probably can't hurt the fire ghost that originally had the same origin as it. Although the fire ghost has lost control of the flames, it still has the copy amplification, which is difficult to erase."
"Even if she can't be killed, she won't be able to stir up too much trouble. Is a fire ghost still a fire ghost if it loses its flames?"
The principal ghost's eyes were filled with shock at first, and then turned into relief. No matter what the reason was for Teacher Chen to suddenly become so powerful, he finally managed to resolve the disaster.
The blood-eyed ghost looked at Lin Chen's back and the huge fire dragon hovering in the sky. His heart tightened and his body couldn't help but take two steps back.
But soon, he forced himself to calm down.
"It was Xu Qianjun who offended him, not me. He has no need to be my enemy."
"And at least I fought against the Fire Ghost together with the Green Power Ghost, so I can be considered to have done something."
"Our own people... our own people..."
Dong Xiaorou had a dull expression, as if she couldn't believe what she was seeing.
Lin Chen raised his feet and walked slowly towards him.
Dong Xiaorou looked at Lin Chen's steady steps, her body trembled slightly, an inexplicable fear surged in her heart, and she couldn't help but take a step back.
However, she soon calmed down again and said, "No matter how powerful you are, what can you do? I have the blessing of the entire copy, and I am immortal. Can you still kill me by force with the blessing of the horror game?"
Lin Chen shook his head and said, "You should go to a club for further training. I will talk to the mama-san there and ask you to meet more clients with abnormal psychology."
After saying that, Lin Chen took out a pink sack and forced it over.
Although Dong Xiaorou didn't understand what Lin Chen was saying, she felt an extremely terrifying aura coming from the pink sack.
It seems like if I'm really going to be trapped, something horrible will happen.
However, Lin Chen slapped Dong Xiaorou twice and she became obedient.
Facing Lin Chen who was approaching her, Dong Xiaorou, who had lost her life fire, had no power to resist at all.
Finally, after struggling for two times in vain, Dong Xiaorou, the powerful evil spirit who almost destroyed the entire devil school, was completely put into the pink sack.
"System, resell to the club."
[It is recommended to resell it to the Ghost Body Laboratory, where there is a great demand for evil spirit-level ghosts. ]
After thinking about it, Lin Chen said in his heart: "Well, the ghost body experiment should not be pleasant. This is the price she paid for killing so many of my valuable...bah! lovely students."
[I don’t know if it’s good or not, but there’s a huge demand for ghosts there, no matter how many there are, they’re not enough… Besides, it’s just the two of us, can you stop pretending? ]
Lin Chen: “…”
[Successfully resold the fierce god-level fire ghost Dong Xiaorou, and obtained the Shengui Coin: 50,000]
Seeing this amount, Lin Chen took a breath.
A fierce god is a fierce god, and his value is indeed very high.
In addition, the principal ghost has stood up again. Although his strength could not be restored because his origin was devoured, because Dong Xiaorou was betrayed, he regained control of the copy and finally recovered from his injuries with the blessing of the copy.
Saved a life.
As for the other person, Han Longgen, who was seriously injured and burned into coal by Dong Xiaorou, he also woke up and recovered successfully.
"Xiao Rou, let the principal go! Huh?"
Dong Potian laughed loudly and said, "You licker are still alive. Don't be silly. Dong Xiaorou has been dealt with by Teacher Chen. If you want revenge, you have to get past me first. I can't deal with Dong Xiaorou, but I can deal with you in a matter of minutes."
Han Longgen, who always liked to argue with Dong Potian, was stunned when he heard this, and felt mixed emotions.
Seeing this, Dong Potian curled his lips and felt very bored.
Qiu Ziwen helped the principal walk over, and the principal said sincerely: "Teacher Chen, thank you!"
Dong Potian and Niu Ritian also gathered together and laughed, "You are worthy of being the teacher of my six mad gods. You are really amazing. Teacher Chen, we will follow you."
Niu Ritian reminded: "These are the two mad gods, the other mad gods are gone."
Dong Potian thought about it, and finally cast a strange look on Qiu Ziwen.
Lin Chen laughed and said, "Don't worry, there is another one here that has not been dealt with yet."
The blood-eyed ghost trembled, and quickly put on a smile and said, "Brother, we are one of us."
Lin Chen looked at the principal ghost in surprise.
The principal's face turned grim, and he snorted, "He killed a class of students in my class."
"What? There is such a thing!"
Lin Chen's eyes turned red on the spot. He could ignore other things, but he would never tolerate killing ghosts.
If you count all the ghost students in a class, how many ghost coins would that cost?
He walked up to the Blood Eye Ghost aggressively and asked, "What is your dream?"
The Blood Eye Ghost was confused and said, "What dream?"
Lin Chen sighed and said, "Forget it, go and keep Dong Xiaorou company."
The blood-eyed ghost knelt down on the spot. Facing Lin Chen, who had easily taken care of Dong Xiaorou, he really couldn't muster the heart to resist.
"Brother, we are one family. I even helped the principal deal with the fire ghost. Please forgive me. Besides, Xu Qianjun who offended you is already dead. I helped you kill him, which can be regarded as revenge for you. You don't know how many times he has scolded you behind your back. It makes me angry. I can't bear to smear your glorious image like this!"
Lin Chen was stunned.
The blood-eyed ghost looks ferocious, but in fact it is so cowardly!
"Well, in that case, it can be considered that you have done a great job, so I will change your place."
Immediately afterwards, the red-eyed ghost saw a huge pink sack being put down.
His ghost was horrified, knowing that the immortal dungeon boss like Dong Xiaorou was trapped in this bag.
Now knowing that he could no longer escape, he roared, his three eyes glowed red, and he stood up to resist.
Seeing this, Lin Chen slapped him twice.
The blood -eyed ghost's resistance came to an abrupt end, and a mouthful of blue ghost blood spurted out.
The Blood Eye Ghost was extremely shocked. Under his blood eye ability, Uncle Chen was not affected at all. It was not until this moment that he realized how terrifying this man's hand strength was.
Finally, the fan sack was put on, and the blood-eyed ghost was plunged into darkness.
“Resell it to the mining area.”
[Has resold the Blood Eye Ghost, and obtained 30,000 Ghost Coins]
Seeing the price of the Blood-Eyed Ghost, Lin Chen curled his lips.
At this point, the crisis in the devil school was completely resolved.
The human players also gathered around and thanked Lin Chen repeatedly with a very respectful attitude.
Lin Chen waved his hand indifferently and didn't pay much attention to them. They dispersed for the time being.
All of this was just something he did when he was catching ghosts.
And he didn't intend to let these human players see what was coming next.
"headmaster!"
After the human players left one by one, Han Longgen staggered over, hugged the principal, and burst into tears .
The principal was also filled with mixed feelings. He patted Han Longgen on the shoulder and said, "Good boy, it's all over."
Lin Chen said: "Since the matter is over, I will take you away together."
Dong Potian said quickly: "I won't leave, Teacher Chen. I will follow you from now on. I promise I won't have any second thoughts. Just accept me as yours."
Niu Ritian also said: "Me too, Teacher Chen, you won't think that I am too weak and refuse to use me."
Lin Chen glanced at Niu Ritian and said, "I haven't settled the matter with you yet for what you did just now."
Niu Ritian shrank his neck and dared not speak anymore.
Qiu Ziwen stood beside Dong Potian and the other man. Although he didn't say anything, his actions showed that he was unwilling to leave.
The principal smiled ghostly and said, "I am also ready to stay. I was born in this school and will die in this school. I don't plan to leave."
Han Longgen: "I want to follow the principal. He has lost all his ghost power now. I want to protect him."
Lin Chen was speechless. How come none of these ghosts wanted to leave? Before he could say anything, Dong Potian and the other two ghosts spoke up to persuade the principal ghost.
But the principal ghost shook his head, indicating that he was determined to stay here.
Lin Chen said, "Principal, you don't have to stay here. This place exists in the past. You should look towards a better future. You have such high knowledge, and you shouldn't be buried in this school that should be destroyed."
The principal said ghostly, "Teacher Chen, but I am tired. The students have left. I have done everything I can. This is enough."
Lin Chen sighed and didn't force it.
This was the first time in his ghost hunting career that he was not forced to put the ghost in a sack.
Persuasion failed, and the principal ghost, with the help of Han Longgen, returned to the teaching building that had been repaired by the power of the copy to rest.
Lin Chen, Dong Potian and the other two wandered around with nothing to do, trying to find any ghost students who had survived the fire.
Soon, the man and three ghosts actually found a few lucky people.
The first place was the ghost player Red Hat Ghost in the cafeteria. When Lin Chen saw that he was still alive, he was speechless.
How lucky this guy must be to be able to escape with his life right where Dong Xiaorou walked out.
When the red-hat ghost saw Lin Chen and the others coming in, he immediately burst into tears and said, "I saw the fire was out. Were you also burned to death? Sure enough, after the ghost dies, the soul still exists."
Lin Chen: “…”
As for the other two lucky ones, they turned out to be two poor-looking students in blue from Class 2 of Grade 3. In fact, these two had already "seen" Lin Chen when his spirit broke through 1000, but they were just about to break through at that time and had no time to split themselves.
Moreover, the place where these two guys slept was not affected by the fire, so when Lin Chen found them, they were still sleeping soundly.
The last three ghosts were directly packaged and sold by Lin Chen.
Red Hat Ghost, Lin Chen helped him find a canteen and let him go back to his old job.
The two student ghosts in blue were sent to the barley world by Lin Chen in their sleep.
…
In the devil's school, Dong Xiaorou's misfortune has been quelled, and the ruined school has returned to its original state after being repaired autonomously by the power of rules.
It was as if nothing had happened.
In the evening, Lin Chen walked out of the players' room. He went to learn about the hidden ghost power. The secret guard Zhao Guoqing and others explained a lot to Lin Chen because they were rescued.
But when he came out, Lin Chen's brows were furrowed, and he looked like he was worried about something.
A drizzle fell, and the sky in the copy was hazy. Unconsciously, another sound of footsteps slowly appeared beside Lin Chen.
Lin Chen's frown relaxed, he turned around and said with a smile: "Principal, you are not going to do the same thing you did a few days ago."
The person who came was the ghost principal, but now he was very awake at night, just like he was during the day. He smiled and said, "You kid, you always like to talk nonsense."
He had black hair and looked thin, but his eyes were bright and very bright in the evening. His clothes turned white, a white robe without a single wrinkle, which gave him a scholarly air.
Lin Chen also laughed. He approved of this principal. After he recovered, he felt like the old director of an orphanage after traveling through time. He was so kind and respected. Therefore, he was completely relaxed when he spoke and did things.
"Let's take a walk together. All the students have left. I feel like there's a sense of loneliness in the school, like the fallen leaves in autumn, lonely and desolate." said the principal.
Lin Chen nodded. Although nothing could be seen on his face, he was actually not very happy inside, and his eyes were scanning the sky.
As the two walked, time passed little by little, from evening to night.
"You don't seem happy." Principal Ghost was very wise and seemed to have seen through Lin Chen's mood very early on.
"It's okay, I'm just a little upset." Lin Chen said.
"Is it because of those human players?" the principal asked.
He knew that Lin Chen's expression had become strange since he walked out of the dormitory of those human players, so he asked this question.
"Is it because of the hammering method that condenses hidden ghost power? This is indeed a troublesome matter. Although they told you a lot, it was still very one-sided. No one promised to give you the hammering method organized by their organization after returning to Blue Star." Principal Ghost sighed.
He had the copy authority, so he was watching the whole process and saw the conversation between Lin Chen and those people. Although Lin Chen saved them, their eyes were evasive when they talked, which was not completely sincere.
"Yes, humans are inherently selfish, so I can't blame them. But after entering the dungeon, the behavior of these players has made me feel less and less belonging to this world." Lin Chen said with a wry smile.
When he, a "newbie", entered the haunted restaurant, he saw the attitudes of the newcomers who had gotten the "inside information" towards him, so he did not take action in time when the head ghost was slaughtering humans.
After coming here, his reputation became famous, but Xiao Xingjun and Xu Qianjun still directly targeted him, which made him even more unhappy.
Especially those organizations outside are still looking for him in various ways. What do they want to do? To coerce him into giving away his skills, or to conduct direct human experiments?
He didn't know, nor did he want to think about it, but the attitude of those organizations towards him also determined his attitude towards these players.
"If I go to the dungeon again, I will still do my own thing. The life and death of those players will have nothing to do with me." Lin Chen said.
It was this idea that made him indifferent in the next copy, until one day in the future, Chen De and Zhou Geng finally resolved this problem.
"You, it seems, don't care about these players. In fact, during the battle between you and Dong Xiaorou, a cluster of Bahuo was heading towards their position, but you still stopped it. You are not a bad person, nor are you cold-hearted." The ghost principal said with a wry smile.
"Just like the students, you sent them to different worlds. I know you have your own standards. The students you sent to mine actually killed a lot of humans in school and devoured their flesh and blood. The students you sent directly to the new world had relatively clean hands."
After gaining access to the copy, he replayed everything in reverse and saw what had happened before, as well as some "details" about Lin Chen.
"Eating human flesh is wrong. These students were affected by the dungeon and are opposed to the players. I can't say anything, but since they have eaten human flesh, they have changed." Lin Chen said.
There was a student whom Lin Chen asked several questions but he couldn't answer. Lin Chen looked like he sent him to the mining area in a fit of anger, but in fact, he felt that the ghost had a lot of resentment, which had accumulated over time and had devoured a lot of human flesh and blood.
That is the flesh and blood of the players, not the stuff that is shaped by the rules in the cafeteria.
"A gentleman judges by deeds, not by intentions, but your actions and thoughts are right. I can't say anything. You have your own standards." The principal said ghostly.
The night breeze is blowing, the air is slightly cool, and it feels particularly comfortable when it blows on the body.
The two of them stood on a high place, looking at everything in the school, and did not make a sound for a long time.
"What is the world like they went to?" After a period of silence, the ghost principal spoke again, still with some concern for the students in his words.
“It shouldn’t be bad. An extremely powerful being is constructing a new world where all industries are waiting to be developed. These students have a lot of knowledge and can naturally find a way out for themselves.” Lin Chen said.
"That's good... That's good..." Principal Ghost nodded slowly, and then said, "They have arrived in a new world, and they have been in the dungeon for many years. It's always easy for them to feel out of place everywhere. I hope they can adapt as soon as possible."
"Indeed, it was the same when I first came to Blue Star."
Lin Chen said with a raised lip corner.
"What? You are not originally from Blue Star?" The principal was shocked and opened his mouth wide, but he soon accepted it. Since Lin Chen could send students to a new world, he must have special means to travel between different worlds.
"In my former world, technology was well developed, there was no fighting, no ghosts... Of course, I may not have known it at the time, but everything was still on track. I had my friends and relatives there, but I ended up here unexpectedly, and from an adult, I turned back into a child."
Lin Chen smiled bitterly. He didn't know why, but when he talked to the principal ghost, he would subconsciously relax. He was willing to tell this teacher things that he had never told anyone before.
"It turned out to be like this. No wonder you said you don't have any sense of belonging to Blue Star. Don't you have any friends in this world?" asked the principal ghost.
"There is a little guy, a companion of the orphanage. He is quite interesting. The old director is also nice to me. The rest of the time, I seem to be looking for ghosts, and I don't have much interaction with the people of Blue Star."
"You really have a chivalrous spirit."
The principal's words made Lin Chen's face turn red.
"But it's very interesting that you, an adult soul, can become friends with a child from an orphanage." The principal ghost didn't care about Lin Chen's expression, but said with a smile.
"A man is only young when he dies. Besides, he will always meet some interesting people, right?" Lin Chen also laughed.
If he had not awakened the system at a young age, but had grown up normally on Blue Star, perhaps he would not have felt so lost.
"It seems that you did not come to this world on your own initiative, but were brought here by a mysterious force. In that case, I think your appearance is destined by God. Your appearance is the one who will change everything and change the sadness brought about by the horror game." The principal said with his eyes bright.
"Principal, you are a person who has received higher education, how can you be so superstitious?" Lin Chen disagreed and teased.
"I'm already a ghost, so why can't I still be superstitious?" The ghost principal couldn't help but burst into laughter. There was calmness in his voice, without any sadness or hatred.
He said what he thought in his heart, without any extra praise or expectation. In his eyes, the horror game was the source of sadness and pain, and the copy was a Shura field sandwiched between the Blue Star and the horror world, like hell on earth.
Lin Chen is the one who has hope and changes everything!
The night sky is dotted with stars, which are the result of rules. The haze that entangled the copy has been dispelled by the principal ghost. The beautiful starlight shines down, and even at night, the world seems exceptionally bright.
That night, the man and the ghost did not rest, but chatted a lot.
Lin Chen told the principal ghost most of his things. In addition to helping Lin Chen resolve his worries, the principal ghost also told him many things about the school and the students.
Han Longgen had always known that he had a crush on Dong Xiaorou, but he just didn't care. In his eyes, premature love was not good, but the children's dreams and yearning for love were the most real.
Dong Potian used to be a top student, comparable to Qiu Ziwen, and had close to perfect scores in all subjects. It was only after he became a ghost that his personality gradually changed.
Niu Ritian has always been useless... careless and after becoming a ghost, he has become even more lustful. The principal gets so angry when he sees him that he will beat him up if he catches him for no reason.
Lin Chen laughed out loud and felt a long-lost sense of relaxation in his heart.
The principal ghost told Lin Chen why Dong Xiaorou appeared. After learning that it was Xiao Xingjun's doing, Lin Chen felt a little angry. At the same time, he became more repulsive towards the players from the major organizations.
I picked up my phone and had the principal record a conversation with me to use as leverage. Then the weather finally turned cooler.
In the copy, the sun rises, the principal is bathed in golden light, and his aura seems to have changed a lot.
Lin Chen noticed this, but didn't know the reason. It was not until he sent the principal's ghost away and saw the system's introduction to the principal that he realized that the principal's ghost had the potential to become a supreme merit ghost.
The principal looked at the school with reluctance and confusion in his eyes. This was because the teacher had worked diligently in the school for decades, and relatively speaking, this place had become his home.
Lin Chen looked at the principal for a long time, then smiled and said, "You didn't turn into a fierce god last night, which means everything that happened before is over. Why are you still obsessed with it?"
The principal ghost tried to comfort him for a long time, although it was of no use. But now, it was Lin Chen's turn to comfort the principal ghost.
He also didn't want this good guy to continue sinking in the copy.
The principal ghost seemed to feel the same way. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he smiled with relief. He had been in a daze for twenty years, and every night he would turn into a hideous and terrifying monster. Yesterday was the only night in the past twenty years that he stayed awake.
He said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, I didn't leave the instance, so the instance couldn't be completed, and you wasted nineteen days here."
Lin Chen smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I have plenty of time. But Dong Potian and the others seem to be a little impatient."
The principal laughed ghostly and said, "Yes, after all, we have been trapped here for too long."
Lin Chen said nothing more, with expectation in his eyes.
After a long time, the principal ghost spoke again:
"Please send me away. I have decided to leave..."
