The Pseudo-Human Academy: Starting with a Bricklayer Personality

"Although I am dead, out of sisterly affection, I must remind you..."

"That Xu Feng is no good at all! He's been the ghost bride's accomplice from the very beginning! He's been misleading you, deliberately giving you false information!"

"The only way to survive is to burn every part of the ghost bride! Burn her torso first! Burning it will greatly reduce the ghost bride's power!"

"Oh no... sizzle... it's found me... run! Get to the eighth floor... burn its torso... otherwise..."

"Sizzle sizzle—!"

"Beep beep beep..." The phone was hung up.

"Hehehe..."

Just then, a chilling laugh suddenly erupted from the corner of the room without warning.

Liu Qianqian turned around abruptly and saw the figure in the red wedding dress.

He had somehow turned his back to her and was standing in the corner of the room, his figure twisted strangely, as if he was about to pounce on her at any moment.

"ah--!"

Liu Qianqian was terrified. She screamed, turned around, and scrambled out of the room.

She rushed towards the elevator like a madwoman, with only one thought in her mind:

The video said that ghosts can't go into elevators!

The corridor was pitch black. Following the faint light from the elevator entrance, she ran all the way to the elevator.

To her delight, the elevator was located on the 10th floor, which was her floor.

"Ding-dong—"

As the elevator doors slowly opened, the eerie laughter behind me seemed to be right up to the back of my neck.

Liu Qianqian scrambled into the elevator and frantically pressed the close button.

Just as the elevator doors were about to close, a pale, withered hand, carrying a foul stench, suddenly shoved it in!

But the next second, the ghost bride outside the elevator let out a piercing scream, and the hand she squeezed in suddenly burned as if spring had met snow.

Sizzling white smoke rose from the air.

The elusive hand immediately withdrew.

The elevator doors slowly closed, shutting out the terror outside.

"Huff...huff..." Liu Qianqian collapsed to the ground, her back soaked with cold sweat. "It's real...it's real in the video! It can't get in!"

At that moment, her trust in Lin Miedi and the video reached its peak.

The torso must be burned!

What's said in the video is true!

As the elevator doors closed, Liu Qianqian pressed the button for the eighth floor.

The elevator descended rapidly and soon arrived at the eighth floor.

With a "ding-dong" sound, the door opened.

From the stairwell next to the elevator came the ghost bride's shrill roar, her voice filled with extreme anger and resentment.

It... caught up!

Suppressing her deepest fear, Liu Qianqian stumbled and scrambled out of the elevator, rushing frantically towards the bridal chamber.

The cold wind behind her grew stronger and stronger, and the chilling aura almost severed her neck.

Closer, closer, just a little bit more and we'll be there.

"Squeak—"

She slammed open the rotten wooden door and tumbled inside, gripping the lock tightly with her other hand.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A violent crashing sound came from outside, and the door was shaking violently, as if it would be smashed to pieces at any moment.

Liu Qianqian leaned against the door, panting heavily, her heart pounding wildly.

At this moment, she could clearly hear the ghost bride outside the door roaring angrily, looking extremely anxious.

The more anxious the ghost bride is, the more it proves she did the right thing!

She trembled as she pulled out her phone, its light piercing the darkness and illuminating the body on the bed, dressed in a red wedding gown.

Liu Qianqian seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly her face turned awkward.

She didn't have a lighter on her, so she couldn't burn the ghost bride's body at all!

She frantically groped around, frantically scanning the room with her phone's flashlight.

The light shone on the dusty octagonal table.

There, lying quietly, was a box of matches.

In this modern hotel, a box of matches seems both incongruous and alluring.

Found it! Thank goodness!

A look of joy flashed across Liu Qianqian's face, as if she had grasped a lifeline. She grabbed the matchbox, her hands trembling so much that she almost couldn't hold it.

With a "sizzle," the match was lit.

A faint light shone in the room.

She swallowed hard and threw the match directly at the bride's torso.

boom--!

The sound of flames exploding rang out.

Something incredibly bizarre happened.

For some reason, even though it was just a tiny flame, it ignited at the slightest touch.

Flames quickly enveloped the bride's body, scattering red light across the sky.

These scattered red lights, like an inverted red galaxy, almost filled the entire room, creating an indescribable dazzling effect.

The ghost bride outside the door let out an extremely shrill scream, a sound as if her soul had been torn apart, and the crashing sound abruptly stopped.

As the flames subsided, something strange happened: the red wedding dress remained intact, but the ghost bride's torso was completely burned away, leaving not a trace.

Meanwhile, the live stream chat room exploded with excitement.

Wa, a junior student (from China): "Holy crap! Could Liu Qianqian have actually guessed right?!"

Testicular War God (Hua): "I feel like this Liu Qianqian was deliberately ushered into the ghost bride's room by the ghost bride in the corridor."

"Furthermore, when the Bloody Gentlemen searched the room during the day, there were no matchboxes or anything like that on the octagonal table."

"Why did Liu Qianqian find the matchbox in such an obvious place as soon as she arrived? And why did the elevator stop on the 10th floor when she escaped? I feel like all of this was deliberately designed, and there are suspicious points everywhere."

Prophet (Hua): "Wanla, Liu Qianqian has forcibly increased the difficulty of this dungeon. Once the real ghost bride's torso is burned, the room may no longer be safe."

"I have a feeling that the fake ghost bride will continue to act, using Liu Qianqian to burn all parts of the ghost bride, and then directly kill everyone on the day of reckoning."

Bloody Gentleman is My Husband (Hua): "If I were my husband, I would have killed all the idiots on the field from the very beginning, because idiots will kill everyone."

"Now it seems that my husband is indeed too soft-hearted. Apart from liking to play tricks, he doesn't like killing."

"We were about to clear the dungeon, but then Liu Qianqian pulled this stunt, which made the difficulty skyrocket. In the end, I'm afraid only my husband will be able to walk out of the dungeon alive."

Sakura (a person with a mental illness): "Your husband is still cosplaying as a teru teru bozu (a Japanese doll that resembles a sunny-day snowflake)! He's practically dead, how could he possibly still be alive?"

Testicular War God (Hua): "Shut up, little one. I believe in Bloody Gentleman. This rope must have some kind of rule that made him lose consciousness directly, but this little bit of gravity is not enough to hang him to death."

Freedom Juice Eagle (Lamp): "Hilarious! I don't believe the Bloody Gentleman can survive hanging here all night. A normal person would die after hanging for six or seven minutes. If he can still live, I'll wash my hair upside down!"
