Zombie Life Begins in Hongxi Village

Nalan Girls' School was built ten years ago. Five years ago, it was called Nalan Middle School. It was a co-educational school.

Five years ago, the discipline director, Ruan Shiyin, was strict and harsh in her management of the school. She was constantly opposed and ostracized by the students and eventually committed suicide by setting herself on fire.

After Ruan Shiyin's death, the principal, with whom she had an illicit affair, also chose to hang himself on campus.

In the aftermath of the tragedy, strange things began to happen on campus, with students who were in early relationships disappearing mysteriously without warning.

The board of directors was in a state of panic and held an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures. They ultimately decided to convert the co-educational school into a purely girls' secondary school.

Strangely enough, since the reform, those inexplicable disappearances at the school have never happened again.

By now, it was completely dark, and twilight enveloped the entire campus.

A dim incandescent light shone from the security room at the school's main gate. The elderly security guard was engrossed in reading the evening newspaper, completely unaware that a group of ghosts and spirits had silently entered the territory of Nalan Girls' Middle School.

Shi Jian didn't even glance at the haunted old library.

There was only one female spirit bound to the earth who jumped to her death inside the library; she did not harm anyone.

Day after day, I am trapped in a cycle of illusions: sitting quietly in the library reading... then going up to the roof to recite my lessons, and then jumping off, endlessly repeating the cycle.

When the Earthbound Spirit saw Shi Jian and his group passing by downstairs in the library, a faint light suddenly appeared in its empty eyes.

She didn't pounce on him or make a sound; she simply stood on the rooftop and silently opened her mouth in Shi Jian's direction.

She has been trapped in this death loop for two years, repeating the actions of the day she committed suicide every day.

The endless cycle of death and torment had exhausted her mind and spirit; all she sought was liberation.

Bound by the shackles of the ghost realm, she could not receive the summons from the underworld and could only endure the excruciating pain of falling from the building day after day.

The earthbound imp was not worth Shi Jian's attention, but the situation at the teaching building made him slow down a little.

It was a four-story brick building, and the building itself looked no different from an ordinary middle school teaching building.

But in Shi Jian's eyes, the entire building was enveloped in a layer of dense, almost liquid yin energy, and a powerful evil spirit must be living inside.

The yin energy poured down from the rooftop terrace like an invisible waterfall, flowing silently along the outer wall and immersing the entire teaching building in it.

Above the rooftop, suspended in the air, lies a ghostly realm invisible to the naked eye.

The outline of the ghost realm was blurry, as if shrouded in a layer of gray mist, but Shi Jian could clearly sense its scale—this ghost realm was enough to cover the entire campus.

Shi Jian couldn't help but think of Chu Renmei, who had been subdued by Lin Yi before—the same resentment soaring to the sky, the same powerful ghost realm.

However, the two are also clearly different.

Chu Renmei can kill at will, slaughtering anyone who crosses her path without any restraint.

The evil spirits here are imprisoned by invisible rules. Despite their overwhelming resentment, there are only ten murder records. Compared to Chu Renmei, she can be considered kind.

If Lin Yi were here, she would know that they had encountered the plot of the movie "The School Cemetery".

The head of discipline, Ruan Shiyin, was having an affair with the principal, but the affair was discovered by the principal's wife.

In a fit of rage, the principal's wife locked Ruan Shiyin in the school administration office, set it on fire, and burned her alive.

After her death, her resentment lingered, and the school administration office became a ghost town.

Ruan Shiyin's obsession is the school administration's rules for killing. Students who violate school rules will be summoned to the school administration office, called in by Ruan Shiyin, and then disappear from this world forever.

The entire school is under the shadow of the ghostly aura of the School Affairs Office, whose doors can appear anywhere.

Under the bed in the dormitory, behind the mirror in the bathroom, at the end of the corridor in the teaching building.

As long as you are within the school grounds, you cannot escape the judgment of school rules.

This should be several decades before the story officially takes place, before those reckless main characters were even born.

The presence of Shi Jian and his group was far too obvious.

A dozen or so underworld spirits appeared on campus at the same time. Even though their netherworld power was mostly subdued, it was still enough to instill instinctive fear in any ghost.

The ghostly aura of the school administration office trembled slightly on the rooftop, then began to shrink.

It is hiding.

Although Ruan Shiyin has become an evil spirit, her instincts remain—

She didn't want to confront these underworld gods directly; she just wanted to hide herself deep within the ghost realm and wait for them to leave.

If Shi Jian hadn't locked onto the Ghost Realm as soon as he arrived, it might have really fooled him.

"How stupid!"

Shi Jian snorted coldly and leaped onto the rooftop.

Shi Jian raised his right hand, spread his five fingers, and suddenly a series of dazzling lightning bolts lit up the sky.

Those lightning bolts were more than ten times more numerous than the lightning he summoned when he used the Lightning Thunder Fist in the mortal realm.

Lightning gathered and spun above his palm, transforming into a spear formed from pure lightning.

The electric arcs on the spear crackled and popped, illuminating the night sky above the rooftop as bright as day.

"go!"

He gripped the Thunder Spear tightly, aimed it at the core of the School Affairs Office's Ghost Domain, and hurled it down.

The lightning spear pierced through the barrier of the ghost realm, and countless fine electric currents surged wildly within the cramped space of the school administration office. From within the ghost realm, Ruan Shiyin's mournful and painful wails echoed.

In just a few breaths, the entire ghostly domain of the school administration office, along with the evil spirit Ruan Shiyin, was reduced to ashes by the thunder.

The curse at the school cemetery, which is terrifying and unsolvable for ordinary people, is as fragile as an ant in front of Shi Jian, the judge of the underworld.

The girls who hadn't gone to sleep yet were peering out of their dormitory windows, watching the sky ablaze with lightning in the direction of the teaching building, marveling at the wonders of nature.

Little did they know, the biggest villain of Nalan Girls' High School had already perished in the thunder just now.

After destroying the school administration office, Shi Jian turned around and instructed a ghost messenger beside him who looked somewhat like him: "Shi Cheng, go and send that earthbound spirit to the underworld."

Also, there was another one hanging in the woods behind the teaching building; we dealt with that as well.

The earthbound spirit is the female student who jumped off the building, while the hanged ghost is the principal who had an affair with Ruan Shiyin.

Shi Cheng nodded. "Okay, brother."

Shi Jian's face darkened, and he angrily rebuked, "What do you mean, 'big brother'? Use your title instead."

Shi Cheng felt a chill run down his spine from the look in his eyes and quickly corrected himself, "Yes, Your Honor!"

Shi Cheng was Shi Jian's cousin and also came from Maoshan, but he was a lay Buddhist who practiced at home.

In terms of strength, he is not much worse than Si Mu, but in terms of luck, he is far worse.

Shi Jian deliberately avoided suspicion and did not want Lin Yi to mistakenly believe that he was cultivating a private faction, so he simply assigned him the position of an ordinary ghost messenger.

Shi Jian withdrew his gaze and then ordered the other ghost messengers to check the teaching building and dormitory building to ensure that no ghosts were missed.

Before leaving, Shi Jian carved a talisman imbued with divine power to ward off evil spirits on the gate of Nalan Girls' Middle School.

With this talisman, the school will no longer be disturbed by ghosts and monsters.

In principle, judges should not carve talismans in the mortal world to interfere in its affairs. The underworld has a strict set of rules that prohibit interference between the mortal and underworld realms.

But Shih Chien stated that Lin Yi is a matter of principle.
