The old viewers in the livestream were infuriated and directly retorted back, causing the barrage to become noisy again.
After the bell rang, all the students in the classroom stopped writing, and no one dared to write anything anymore.
The teacher slowly collected the test papers.
As the teacher approached the players, they felt a chill and couldn’t help but shiver.
Ghosts were filled with Yin energy, and the stronger the ghost, the heavier the Yin energy was.
The Yin energy on this teacher was obviously at a level only powerful ghosts possessed. He was clearly more powerful than the student ghosts sitting in the classroom, which explained why he was able to kill a player with only his hands.
Fortunately, he seemed to be a rule-based ghost. As long as the rules were not violated, he most likely wouldn’t take action.
At least not in the early stages of this instance, but in the later stages... it’s hard to say.
It seemed they must investigate what happened in the original Class 1-1 as soon as possible, find that ‘culprit’, or else the longer they delay, the higher the possibility of death.
After all, it’s difficult to deal with powerful ghosts, even with props.
After collecting the test papers, the students in the classroom remained obediently seated, and the players also didn’t dare to move randomly.
After collecting all the test papers, the teacher took out a red pen from somewhere and began to grade the papers on the podium.
Obviously, this exam was to be graded on the spot.
Moreover, there was an old projector above the podium that could project the test papers onto the blackboard directly. Everyone could see the test papers on the blackboard clearly, as well as the answers on the papers and the teacher’s corrections.
This made everyone in the classroom anxious.
The first test paper was not from the players; it belonged to the original students in the classroom.
The players looked at the paper with five large red X marks and a score of zero, and their hearts sank.
Because some players had the same answers as that student.
The second paper was from... an ordinary NPC who participated in the midnight blessing with them.
The test paper was completely blank, without even a name written on it.
The teacher graded the papers quickly, and in the blink of an eye, several had been collected. The players’ faces immediately turned ugly.
The ghosts in this classroom had no idea about the answers to these five questions either! They’re just randomly filling in the blanks!
Some players had already inferred from the graded papers that they scored zero, and cold sweat started to pour down their foreheads.
Unless the entire class scored zero, they were undoubtedly doomed.
But obviously, luck was not on their side. Soon, the first person who got one question right appeared, and the class score was no longer zero but 20.
Everyone looked at the spot on the test paper where the name was written.
Li... Shuyang.
Li Shuyang answered the first question correctly, with the answer ‘zero’.
The first question asked how many people were in Class 1-1, and Li Shuyang answered ‘zero’, which meant there were no people in Class 1-1.
No ‘people’...
Did it mean that the original Class 1-1 was entirely composed of ghosts? Or did it mean... no one could leave here alive?
All the players hoped it’s the former.
But obviously, it’s highly likely to be the latter. The players gritted their teeth. This teacher clearly had no intention of letting them leave alive.
Almost all the answers filled out by the people in the classroom were incorrect, and only Li Shuyang got one question right.
It’s highly possible that, except for him, everyone else got a zero.
In other words, all of them would score below average.
If no one answered correctly, maybe they wouldn’t die. But unfortunately, Li Shuyang got one question right.
Moreover, his correct answer was probably just a coincidence. They couldn’t blame him because everyone wanted to answer correctly. If they couldn’t answer even one question right, it was simply due to their lack of skills.
This dungeon was nothing like the difficulty of an intermediate dungeon. An intermediate dungeon wouldn’t leave players without a way out.
But this exam was clearly designed to bury them all.
Let’s try to fight back! Players tightly gripped their props, preparing to launch a surprise attack while the teacher was still busy grading papers.
Waiting any longer would only result in certain death. It’s better to take a gamble.
Before they took action, they glanced at Pei Yan, wanting to see what he planned to do. After all, he was the strongest among them. If he joined them, the situation would definitely improve.
Furthermore, his test paper had already been marked with a zero, just like everyone else’s.
However, Pei Yan subtly shook his head.
The players were puzzled. What did he mean? Was he not going to resist?
The other players exchanged glances, not fully understanding what Pei Yan meant. But no matter the meaning, shaking his head clearly indicated denial.
All the players had to restrain their emotions and nervously watched as more than half of the papers were graded. It was as if they were waiting for a death sentence to be announced.
Except for Li Shuyang, the second person to answer the first question correctly appeared, it was a student in this class.
In other words, even if Li Shuyang didn’t answer correctly, there would still be someone who mysteriously got it right. They were still doomed.
Indeed, this exam had no intention of letting them leave alive.
The expressions of all the players could no longer be described as simply unpleasant. They stared at the teacher as if facing a formidable enemy because once the papers were graded, he would undoubtedly pass judgment on them and announce their death sentence.
More than half of the papers had been graded, and soon it would be Ji Zhiyuan’s turn. As expected, he received a zero without any surprises. After all, he had long known his score after comparing it to the previous answers.
Ji Zhiyuan and Ruan Qing were in the same row, with Ruan Qing sitting to his right, so the next paper to be graded was Ruan Qing’s.
The people in the classroom froze as they looked at the crossed-out name.
This might not be... quite right.
No matter how you look at it, this seemed like a case of plagiarism where the name was accidentally copied wrong. Would he be accused of plagiarism?
How could he make such a mistake? Was he too afraid?
Many people turned their gaze towards Ruan Qing, but because he was sitting in the front row, they could only see a slender figure.
That figure looked somewhat fragile, giving off an air of vulnerability.
As a young master who stood above others, he could command the winds and rains. Even if he wanted the stars in the sky, someone would probably find a way to pick them for him. It seemed like he had never experienced these things before.
There’s no need to think. It’s clear that he’s scared.
Although the teenager had always been arrogant and unruly, he was actually like a blooming, beautiful rose. Once separated from the care of his master, he would become fragmented.
Li Shuyang looked at the teenager in the front row, who lowered his head and seemed somewhat pitiful. He pressed his tongue against the roof of his mouth and casually turned the pen in his hand.
There was an inexplicable tension in the atmosphere, probably because they were afraid the teacher would directly accuse the teenager of plagiarism.
The teacher also paused when he saw the name. He looked up at the teenager, who had his head down, and didn’t mention any violations. Instead, he picked up his pen and started correcting the exam paper.
Question 1: Correct.
Question 2: Correct.
Question 3: Correct.
Question 4: Correct.
Question 5: Correct.
Exam score: 100 points.
Players: “???”
No, how could you just change it like that!!!
Wasn’t the answer to the first question ‘zero’?!?
And all those answers below, weren’t they all wrong? How did they suddenly become correct?!
How did it become a perfect score?!
Wasn’t this clearly setting them up for the others to fail!?
A perfect score would significantly raise the class average, not to mention many of them got their answers wrong.
They were wrong. The teacher didn’t want everyone to die here; he wanted everyone except for the school bully Su Qing to die here.
The teacher probably felt he went too far, so he put a check mark on the students’ papers who came after Ruan Qing that matched the teenager’s answers.
But he didn’t regrade the ones he had already checked.
In other words, the players behind Ruan Qing wouldn’t get a zero, as they mostly had one or two answers the same as Ruan Qing’s.
But the previous players...
The players looked at Pei Yan, Ji Zhiyuan, and that tall player.
Those who had their papers checked before that of the school bully Su Qing - there were only four players, aside from two ordinary NPCs.
Although Li Shuyang was ahead of the school bully Su Qing, he still had twenty points, so he might not be below the class average.
But God Pei and the others got zero, so they must be below the class average.
As there were only five questions, the teacher quickly finished grading the papers and wrote the average score on the blackboard.
[Average score: 22.5 points.]
Seeing the score written on the blackboard, the players were stunned.
The average score... Could it be this high?
It didn’t seem like it, considering almost half of the students got a zero at the beginning.
Although the correct answers for some were modified based on the school bully Su Qing’s answers, no one had all the questions the same as him. At most, there were only two or three questions that matched.
Given this, the average score shouldn’t be so high!
If they calculated like this, even those who only got one question right would score below the average, and it seemed like most of them were in a terrible situation because there was only one player on their side who got two questions right.
Was the teacher... doing this on purpose?
“Teacher, did you make a mistake in calculating the average score? I only got 10.2,” a student raised their hand, sounding somewhat doubtful.
The teacher’s face displayed a strange smile, and then he turned and said, “Hehe, I didn’t make a mistake... um...”
After the teacher saw who raised their hand, his smile froze on his face because it was Ruan Qing.
Ruan Qing in the front row was raising his hand, his eyes slightly red, looking pitifully at him as if he had been scared by him again.
In the next second, the teacher’s expression became serious, and he spoke, “Well... you’re right, this student is correct. I made a mistake...”
The players who were ready to ambush: “...” They were really fed up.
The teacher wiped off the average score written on the blackboard and replaced it with the score Ruan Qing had just mentioned.
However, at the moment the teacher finished writing, the classroom, which had been very bright, dimmed instantly. The air turned cold, as if the temperature dropped to below zero in the blink of an eye, sending shivers down everyone’s spines.
Not only the classroom, but even outside the window, it was the same. It transitioned from daylight to nighttime in an instant.
Both the students and the teacher in the classroom had a hint of fear and panic on their faces, as if something terrifying had happened.
The sky seemed to be covered by a thick black mist, swallowing all light. It was an almost tangible gloominess, and the entire space was filled with a dangerous and frightening atmosphere.
Something frightening... was coming.
