Chapter 98: Sanitation Assault Guide (IV)
The moment he saw the wounds on No. 5 and No. 6, Tang Xinjue immediately thought of the people who were also cut by the red line.
Her intuition and experience told her that when it came to cheating candidates, exams were always very "fair and impartial".
Why did the wounds of the three people in Dormitory No. 5 change when almost all of their experiences and behaviors were the same? Tang Xinjue didn't believe it was just a coincidence.
There must be some kind of variable that was triggered in these three people just now, while the rest of the people just passed by -
Black liquid attack!
After smashing the wall and smearing the black liquid on his hands, Tang Xinjue saw the expected scene.
She had an awful wound on her wrist at some point, but it was shallower than those on No. 5 and the others. However, it was equally strange: a blood vessel seemed to be missing, and no blood spurted out when it was cut. She could even move normally.
Only the sense of pain was restored after the perception shield was broken. Waves of pain were transmitted along the nerves to the brain, making people subconsciously frown, reminding her of the existence of the wound.
Seeing that Tang Xinjue's forehead had begun to sweat, Guo Guo, Zhang You and the other two rushed over, fearing that she would vomit blood like No. 5 and the others. Fortunately, Tang Xinjue did not show any abnormalities and even refused her roommates' idea of helping her bandage the wound.
She gritted her teeth and pushed hard along the wound!
Blood immediately gushed out from the wrist, dripping onto the ground, creating a sharp and glaring contrast with the black liquid that had originally splashed on the ground.
Seeing this scene, Tang Xinjue breathed a sigh of relief: "The situation hasn't gotten worse yet."
She could still feel her body and flesh, although it had not mutated into surging red lines.
Everyone saw that Tang Xin Jue took a few pills, and new granulation tissue suddenly grew on the wound at a speed visible to the naked eye. Under the powerful effect of the medicine, it began to heal gradually, but at the moment when new blood vessels were condensed, they were torn apart by some invisible force. Blood gurgled out briefly for a few seconds, and then dried up again...
The process of healing the tear is repeated until the effect of the drug completely wears off.
This weird and horrifying scene that gave people goosebumps seemed to make them feel as if their own flesh was being torn apart. They felt the same pain over and over again, and a chill ran down the back of their heads.
Tang Xin Jue covered the arm that had just finished the experiment with a piece of gauze, nodded to Guo Guo who was trying hard to hold back tears, and said softly: "It's okay, I just blocked out my pain."
Fortunately, I have the help of mental skills. Although it only blocks one tenth of the intense pain, it is better than nothing.
Jiang Lan turned her eyes away from the wound, found her voice again, and said confidently: "The medicine you just used... is effective."
Even though the process was extremely painful, the tear on Tang Xinjue's wrist was obviously much shallower in the end. Even if it would gradually deepen, at least the safe time was extended.
Tang Xin Jue confirmed this guess: "That's right. But it's only for now. When the wound becomes so deep that you can see the bone, these ordinary recovery drugs will be useless."
But the reverse can also be deduced, as long as they can remove the shielding in time before the condition worsens, discover the wound and take medicine, they can prevent the mutation from continuing!
No. 7, who had been silent all the time, picked up a piece of black ice and hit his arm without saying a word, letting the ice chips splash all over his body. Sure enough, after a few seconds, the real wound was seen.
Others followed suit, and soon hissing sounds echoed in the corridor. Everyone looked at the wounds on their bodies, feeling both horrified and relieved.
"Zhang You, um, do we have enough medicine?"
Guo Guo spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Don't worry, there's enough for the four of us to eat for several rounds."
Zhang You, the hoarding maniac, patted his pockets and handed the pill to Guo Guo in a comforting tone: "Eat it."
Guo Guo really cried this time: "I was asking about painkillers!"
After starting the "treatment", they found that the wound itself was not terrible. The truly terrible thing was the prolonged and repeated process of enduring severe pain. This kind of pain seemed to pierce directly into the nerves of the brain, and even painkillers could not completely block it.
What's even more desperate is that when Guo Guo sadly wanted to find a companion who was equally timid and afraid of pain to comfort each other, he found that he was surrounded by ruthless people.
It goes without saying that Tang Xinjue used himself as a test subject, and Zheng Wanqing, who had absolute trust in Tang Xinjue, operated on her arm almost immediately, and did not make a sound even though her teeth were chattering in pain.
Guo Guo: "Miss, you are not Guan Gong who scraped his bones to heal his wounds! You can scream out !"
A drop of sweat flowed down Zheng Wanqing's delicate forehead. She said stubbornly, "I already lost one hand. If I can't even get used to this little pain, how can I continue to take exams in the future?"
Like Zheng Wanqing, Jiang Lan and Ke Ke also started working without saying anything. In the middle, No. 7 handed them a knife: "If the pain is unbearable, use the knife to cut other parts. It has been proven to be effective."
Guo Guo: “…”
She looked around in despair and discovered a reality: the most timid people had all stayed in 919, and the three relatively normal people among the remaining people had already fainted from injuries. Except for herself, the only ones still standing here were all fierce people who could kill monsters as easily as chopping melons and vegetables.
Guo Guo: Weak, pitiful, and helpless.
She finally accomplished this feat. Although she couldn't bear the pain at the end and asked Tang Xin Jue for help, Zheng Wanqing still said to her seriously after it was over: "You were crying and shouting that you wanted to be Guan Gong. It was really heroic. I look at you with new eyes."
Guo Guo's breath was erratic: "...Thank you, but I still hope that I won't have this kind of opportunity to be looked at with new eyes again in the future."
After everyone's wounds were bandaged, their eyes returned to the wall.
This time, their eyes were more determined and stern than before.
Zheng Wanqing rubbed his iron fist and twisted his neck: "Next we are going to smash all the walls."
Jiang Lan: "Get through all the floors in the shortest possible time."
No. 7: "Find 919, or find the Academic Affairs Office."
Guo Guo spat out a mouthful of blood foam: "Otherwise we will all die!"
Dust rose and spread amidst the loud noise, and dense high-speed attacks fell like raindrops. This time, no one spared any effort, and the attitude towards the wall was extremely brutal. In the end, the black liquid didn't even have time to emerge, and it was directly sent away along with the entire floor.
The hammer fell for the last time, accompanied by Tang Xin Jue's calm voice: "The 9th time."
This is the last change.
If their previous guesses were correct, then what they will see next is...
A buzzing sound that sounded like both a wail and a cry came from within the skeleton of the corridor.
In front of them, cement and paint began to twist and melt, and the broken up black liquid tried to crawl back up, making a shrill scream.
It was as if the entire corridor was trying desperately to stop what was happening next, but was powerless to resist.
At the moment of the floor change, all the distortions in the physical space were replaced with one click. In the field of vision, the corridor changed from clean and cold to dilapidated and gloomy, and the wall changed from a violently demolished ruin to a complete piece of cement. However, there was a half-person-high crack in the middle of the wall that was only wide enough for sideways movement. Through the crack, one could see a shadowy dormitory and the light from inside.
Ninth floor!
They didn't even have time to cheer as they instinctively launched another attack, directly expanding the gap in the wall several times. Then they saw the shocked expressions of the girls inside.
Jiang, who was discussing gossip with No. 11 and No. 12, said: "..."
"You guys are back so soon?"
Jiang stood up and defended himself, feeling guilty: "We were not slacking off just now. We were protecting your roommates! Hey, what's in your pockets?"
Student Jiang noticed the red strings carried by the group of people and his expression suddenly froze.
“This, this is…”
Her breathing became heavier, and her eyes were filled with uncontrollable desire. She swallowed up and down, her eyes glued to the red line, and whispered, "What is this?"
Tang Xin Jue went into the house and did not give the red line immediately. Instead, he asked: "What did you think of when you saw it?"
Jiang murmured, "I want to, I want to...I want to eat it."
As if she had caught her own desire in her unconscious mumbling, her tone became stronger and stronger, and her voice became clearer and clearer: "Yes, eat it... I want to eat it, give it to me, give it to me!"
Being in No. 13's body, she still had a bit of rationality left and did not pounce directly. However, the other female ghosts without bodies were not so stable. An extremely cold whirlwind suddenly blew up in the room, whistling and shrinking around everyone, as if trying to snatch the red thread in their hands.
In the center of the vortex, Tang Xinjue picked up a red thread and held it in front of Jiang. Before the other party excitedly snatched it away, he tore off the gauze on his hand. The hideous wound and the strong smell of blood popped out, which made Jiang hesitate slightly and stopped the movement of rushing over.
Tang Xin Jue said in a gentle voice: "You have a strong desire to devour these red lines because they originally belonged to you."
"These red lines are the flesh and blood in your bodies when you were alive, right?"
