When everyone woke up again, it was already bright outside, and they found themselves sitting in the classroom once more.
A sense of confusion was evident in everyone’s eyes because they were all sitting neatly in the classroom, which was filled with students, as if attending a class.
It felt as if everything that had happened before was just an illusion.
But they were supposed to be conducting a midnight ritual for blessings...
Wait! It seemed like they...
Passed out last night!
Losing consciousness in a dungeon was a grave taboo! And they lost consciousness and woke up directly in broad daylight?
Although players were unsure of what had happened exactly, they refrained from acting rashly and cautiously looked around.
The classroom had a slightly worn-out appearance, with the white powder on the walls peeling off, bearing the marks of time.
The desks in front of them were also old-fashioned, the kind that had been used for a long time, not the exquisite ones they encountered when entering the dungeon.
On one of these old desks lay an exam paper. A strange young teacher stood at the podium, seemingly invigilating. However, his lips were twisted into a sinister smile, and his face bore a creepy expression. He stared directly at the people in the classroom, filled with malice and malevolence.
It was as if he wanted to devour everyone in the classroom.
Despite his handsome and refined appearance, his expression and gaze made him look terrifying.
As the players observed the teacher more closely, their pupils shrank, and they swallowed hard, because the teacher didn’t seem human at all. He appeared more like a... monster wearing a human shell.
And it wasn’t just the teacher, many of the students in the classroom were the same, lusting after those who had participated in the “Midnight Blessing.”
However, both the teacher and the students seemed to be restricted by something, just staring straight at them.
The players felt a chill run down their spines as they looked at the smiles on the faces of the teacher and those students, because those were smiles that no human could possibly display.
Where exactly was this? These ‘people’... what were they?
Just as the players were puzzled, the teacher on the podium looked over, and the players all lowered their heads in horror, avoiding the teacher’s gaze.
This was definitely not Class 1-1’s classroom and its students.
No, it should be said that it wasn’t the classroom and students that they met after they entered the instance.
Just when they looked outside the window, they noticed that the playground and the surrounding buildings were very familiar. And the geographical location of this classroom, as well as the orientation and structure of the classroom, undoubtedly belonged to Class 1-1 of the First High School.
But it appeared to be much more dilapidated, as if it was... the First High School from over a decade ago.
They had heard something before. The First High School had spent a lot of money rebuilding the campus several decades ago, and now it seemed like they had returned to a time before the reconstruction.
Time regression? Or had they fallen into an illusion?
Before the players could find more information, a bewildered classmate stood up and looked around, saying, “Where are we? This doesn’t seem like our classroom, right?”
The players looked up and saw the ordinary NPC, who had unexpectedly rushed out of the classroom with them during the midnight blessing.
Upon closer inspection, all the classmates who had participated in the midnight blessing the previous night were present, except for the school bully, Su Qing.
Just as the players wondered why he wasn’t there, the teacher on the podium instantly appeared behind the speaking student. The corners of the teacher’s mouth twisted into an unimaginable arc, and his voice sounded eerie and chilling. “Talking during exam time is prohibited.”
“This classmate, you have violated the rules.”
After the teacher finished speaking, his unnaturally withered hand reached out and grabbed the student’s head. In the terrified gaze of the student, the teacher forcefully yanked his head, and blood instantly splattered the teacher and the nearby students.
The student didn’t even have a chance to scream, and his face still held a trace of confusion as his head fell straight to the ground. The blood spread beneath his body.
In the blink of an eye, a life was extinguished.
The players’ faces were filled with horror. What on earth was happening?
“Ah!!! Someone’s being killed!!!” One of the students widened his eyes in shock, screamed out loud, and even ran towards the classroom door, trying to escape from the terrifying murderer.
However, as soon as he left his seat, the teacher who had appeared behind him snapped his neck instantly. The whole person collapsed limply to the ground, breathless.
The eerie teacher giggled and spoke to the lifeless body on the floor with a sinister and terrifying tone, not caring whether the person could still hear, “This student violated the rules by leaving their seat during the exam time.”
“Mmm... mmm...” One of the students tried to scream but had their mouth covered by a classmate next to her. However, a faint sound still escaped, catching the attention of the teacher.
The classmate who covered her mouth let go as soon as the teacher turned around, afraid that keeping it covered might anger the teacher.
The student also realized what was happening and tightly covered her own mouth with both hands, not allowing any sound to escape.
Fortunately, it seemed that the sound wasn’t too loud. After glancing at the student, the teacher shifted his gaze away.
Only the two headless bodies remained lying quietly on the ground, their blood staining the floor beneath them.
The severed heads, thrown on the ground by the man, still had tears of blood in their eyes and their faces were covered in their own blood. Only their hollow, pale eyes remained wide open, giving rise to an inexplicable feeling of chilliness.
Panic spread uncontrollably at this moment, making people’s hair stand on end.
The players tried hard to calm themselves down, and that’s when they noticed a few lines of text written in the upper right corner of the blackboard.
Those lines of text were small, making it difficult for those sitting on the left side or at the back of the classroom to read, but they could vaguely make out what was written.
[Exam Regulations (Exam Time: 1:00-2:00)
1. No talking allowed.
2. No sleeping allowed.
3. No cheating allowed.
4. No leaving your seat allowed.
5. No disturbing the discipline in the examination hall.
6. No scoring below the class average.
7. No submitting the exam paper late.]
Combining the encounter with the two NPCs just now, the players quickly understood what this was about.
They were currently taking an exam, and it was evident that violating the “Exam Rules” would result in death.
The exam time seemed unusual, written as “1:00 to 2:00” instead of “13:00 to 14:00,” with the 1:00 being in the early morning.
But now it was broad daylight.
Players were more inclined to believe that it was still a little after one o’clock in the early morning, and they hadn’t lost consciousness for long. Therefore, it was highly likely that they were still stuck at one o’clock at midnight.
Obviously, the extinguishing of the white candles wouldn’t directly cause death. It was more like a “ticket” leading to death, pulling them into this examination hall.
Once they entered this examination hall, once the trigger for death was activated, they would become the targets of these monsters.
The players’ hearts tightened as they saw the teacher’s figure stop after turning around. They followed his gaze and looked over.
Finally, their line of sight fell on the young student lying on the desk just below the podium.
Because the teacher had been standing on the podium before, and the podium was relatively high, that area was a visual blind spot. So he didn’t see anyone lying down. But since he had come down, it was evident that he had seen the student lying there.
This was an exam, and the rules were written on the blackboard. Violating the rules... would lead to death.
The players found the figure lying down somewhat familiar. They looked around again, and everyone else was present, except for the school bully, Su Qing.
Could it be him lying there?
On the right side of the aisle, next to that student, was Ji Zhiyuan. After recognizing the person, his eyes widened, and risking the danger, he discreetly grabbed the hand of the seemingly sleeping teenager.
Due to the rush, the classmate’s hand was forcefully pulled off the table. With no support for his head, it directly hit the table, making a loud sound. It was evident that the impact was significant.
Finally, the classmate woke up.
However, it was too late. Even though the classmate regained consciousness, the teacher appeared instantly behind him.
The classmate lying down was indeed Ruan Qing. The pain woke him up, and with reddened eyes, he instinctively raised his head and covered his throbbing forehead with his hand. His pure eyes were filled with mist.
“A student, sleeping during the exam is not allowed,” a sinister and terrifying voice sounded, carrying boundless malice.
The voice was close, just behind Ruan Qing. Ruan Qing subconsciously turned his head to look, “?”.
Ruan Qing seemed as if he had just woken up. His eyes were still misty, as if gracefully shimmering with flowing lights. Because his eyes also held a hint of confusion, he appeared innocent and cute.
He seemed to still not understand what had happened or what he was about to face.
Everyone’s hearts tightened. Mo Ran and Xiao Shiyi immediately stood up from their seats, wanting to rescue him as quickly as possible. However, before they could leave their seats, they froze in place.
When the teacher saw Ruan Qing looking over, the previously sinister and terrifying voice faltered, “Student, you, you, uh, you...”
After the teacher saw Ruan Qing’s expression clearly, his strange smile disappeared, as if he had returned to normal. If it weren’t for the bloodstains of the two deceased classmates still on his body, he would appear like a regular teacher.
After stuttering for a while, the teacher finally squeezed out a sentence, his voice carrying a hint of concern, “Student, did you... not sleep well last night?”
The players who thought Ruan Qing would follow in the footsteps of the two NPCs: ‘??? You were not like this just now!!!’
The players looked up again at the “Exam Regulations” on the blackboard, doubting if they had misread it.
However, no matter how they looked, it clearly stated, “No sleeping.”
So, was being unconscious different from sleeping?
After all, they saw the school bully being frightened before losing consciousness.
No one could find an answer, and they didn’t dare to make any hasty attempts. After all, life was precious, and if they guessed wrong, death would be waiting for them.
The mood of the livestream viewers and players was the same, and the chat was filled with question marks (“????”) after the teacher finished speaking.
