Chapter 99 Health Surprise Inspection (V)
Because of Tang Xinjue's words, a blank look appeared on the girl's face.
She stared blankly at the red line, as if she recalled something. Her facial features wrinkled uncomfortably, the hand reaching out for the red line began to tremble, and her breathing became as heavy as if she was pulling a bellows.
"It's me... it's my... flesh and blood?"
Tang Xin Jue stared at her: "You were killed by the school when you were alive, so do you remember where your bodies are?"
Student Jiang looked up blankly, looking even more confused.
"A body? I... don't know."
When she woke up from the darkness of confusion and accepted the reality that she was a ghost who had been dead for who knows how long, she just wandered aimlessly in the limited space, thinking about nothing except her hatred for the school, and never thought about this problem.
Tang Xinjue nodded softly: "I see."
"I have always been curious about why you were suppressed here by the school. The game gave you stronger strength. You should be the real NPCs here, but you became the sealed party... Now I know."
She chiseled each word: "They steal your power."
After being eroded by the red line, the candidates' flesh and blood will be assimilated into the red line, crushing their internal organs and then vomiting them all out of their mouths. This process will be accompanied by the rapid draining of vitality until only an empty shell is left.
When the assimilation reaches the end, their ending will probably be like the body possessed by the ghost in the men's dormitory, self-destructing, creating more red lines and becoming new nutrients for the school.
——Then before that, where did the dense red lines under the floor of the men’s dormitory come from?
The answer is already obvious.
"The reason why the Academic Affairs Office can control this instance to some extent is not because of their own power in the game, but because of a group of bodies they already have. They are you who were once buried here."
Jiang's pupils contracted. Before she could digest this information, Jiang Lan at the side asked first, "If that's the case, can we use the red thread to find the Academic Affairs Office? Perhaps people can sense their own experiences in flesh and blood."
Ke Ke frowned: "Even if the red thread is made of blood, it will be separated from the body at the moment of death. Can there still be a connection?"
"The red line affects more than just the physical body." Tang Xin Jue said confidently: "If that were the only thing, then the male ghost could have easily escaped when he blew himself up - but he didn't."
"Yes!" Guo Guo suddenly realized and nodded vigorously: "And if the ghosts have no connection with the red thread, why would they want to eat it so much? How can they escape the environmental seal by eating it?"
This shows that what is bound to the red thread is not just their bodies, but also their souls!
Tang Xin Jue sighed and brought the topic back to the topic, saying to Jiang: "Everything points to the red line, so we brought it back. Living people are swallowed by the red line, but ghosts can eat the red line instead. It can temporarily allow you to move freely in the dormitory building, but if you can't control your instinctive desires and swallow too much, it will explode instead."
After all, a person's body can only bear one person's "flesh and blood".
After hearing these words, Jiang finally regained his sanity from his shock and rampage. His eyes fell on the red line with a complicated expression, and he said quietly, "I want revenge."
This is their first and last wish, their first thought when they wake up from the darkness, and the weak spot that can drive them crazy but also sober.
Student Jiang tilted her head back slightly and opened her mouth, an extremely piercing scream came out of her mouth, and the whirlwind that had been sweeping through the dormitory room finally stabilized and gathered around her.
"I'll just take one first and see if I can get out." Jiang swallowed hard and said sadly, "Well, take one first."
"No." Tang Xin Jue shook his head again: "You are now occupying No. 13's body. She has not been eroded by the red line and does not lack flesh and blood. If you eat it, you will explode directly with No. 13."
"so……"
The others understood Tang Xinjue's meaning and turned their eyes to No. 5, No. 6, and No. 10 who were being supported and unconscious.
The student ghosts need a body to resume their actions, and they also need a compatible body to eat the red thread. But now, they have three dying bodies that also urgently need to maintain life!
Jiang followed their gaze and was shocked: "Ah, they are not dead yet?"
Just now, when they were staring at each other through the hole in the wall, she was still wondering why Tang Xinjue and his group brought back three dead people.
Needless to say, Jiang waved his hand and two strong winds blew up in the air, falling on No. 5 and No. 6 and disappearing in an instant. The two people who had closed their eyes suddenly took a breath and opened their eyes.
The next second, Jiang leaned back, and No. 13's body fell limply to the ground. She then entered No. 10's body, looking thoughtfully at the wound on her arm.
"Very weak. She is very weak now. Her strength is decreasing, and she will die completely soon."
She closed her eyes and said, "This feeling is a little familiar to me. It seems that I have had this experience before when I was in a daze and not fully awake."
She now basically believes Tang Xinjue's speculation.
It is not surprising that the school dared to kill countless students here and then use their bodies to do unscrupulous things.
Since No. 10 and the other two were possessed, the "red threading" of their bodies seemed to have stopped. Jiang even pulled out a thin red thread from No. 10's wrist, swallowed it whole, and smacked his lips twice: "I don't feel anything."
Tang Xin Jue: "This newly formed red thread has not yet been processed by the Academic Affairs Office. It should be a semi-finished product. And you eat your own, so the total amount has not increased."
She already had more guesses in her mind, but there was no need to say more at this moment. She handed over the red thread she had brought out and said, "Try this."
Student Jiang stretched his neck and sucked the thread in. Just as he was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed and he raised his hands in a daze, as if he had seen something unbelievable.
Then she turned around and rushed to the hole in the wall, tentatively extending a hand.
His arms stretched out unhindered, then his shoulders, his head, his whole body... When Jiang was standing in the corridor, he was so excited that he couldn't even speak.
Tang Xin Jue reminded in time: "A red line has limited effect, don't stay outside for too long."
Jiang was pulled back from her dizzy state. She was still in a state of disbelief and took a moment to organize her words: "You know, I felt like I had been hungry for five hundred years and finally had a meal. It was the first time I knew what it meant to be full. No, it should be the first time I drank a sip of water..." She gestured incoherently, trying to express her feelings.
The other two girls who possessed No. 5 and No. 6 ate the red thread and also showed indescribable strange expressions.
This was the first time for them to leave the dormitory where they had been imprisoned for so long, and walk into the secret corridors that they had never known before. They felt as if they were in another world.
"I was wondering why they always know what we are doing and what we are discussing, and they appear everywhere like ghosts." A girl's eyes turned red: "So they are hiding here!"
When she got excited, a sinister aura exploded from her body, and she couldn't wait to dig deep into the ground to find the Academic Affairs Office.
Student Jiang held a bunch of red thread over and said, "Don't worry, eat first and then do the work."
Girl: “…Okay.”
Zhang You was taking care of the remaining girls. Seeing Jiang and other ghosts eating a lot, he was still a little worried: "Xin Jue, the male ghosts in the previous dormitory also ate the red line, but they couldn't find the Academic Affairs Office. Can we do it this time?"
"We are different." Tang Xinjue leaned against the wall, his voice clear.
The ghosts in the male dormitory had killed each other in the last exam, so there were only a few left. But the female dormitory was still intact, and there were a large number of freshman ghosts staring at them covetously, otherwise the Academic Affairs Office would not have retreated until now and dared not show up.
"There's one thing I don't understand." Zhang You walked over to her. She had just carefully captured some information from Tang Xin Jue's words, and after integrating it in her mind, she asked a question: "If the red line was created after the copy was formed, then the bodies of these students were actually kept by the school a long time ago, so there is a chance to use them, right?"
——Then how perverted is this school that after torturing students to death, they would store their bodies, alienate their flesh and blood, and extract their power?
Moreover, if the school could really independently create something as sinister as the "red line", it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was favored by the game. How could it correspond to the weaker party in the copy?
Tang Xin Jue was not surprised that Zhang You would think of this, and replied with a smile: "Who said that these red lines must have been created in the game?"
