Excessive ferocity due to caution

Both of them were assigned to Class A-1.

Zhao Yi got in based on his talent.

Nanga, on the other hand, relies on its wealth and prosperity.

The driver was a ghost with only half a head.

Perhaps inspired by the students' fervent thirst for knowledge at the Cursed Academy, the driver was diligently reciting excerpts from the novel *The Plum in the Copper Vase* while driving.

He memorized it with great effort.

His face turned red.

He had a persistent high fever.

The school bus was full of students.

Zhao Yi led Nan Jia to a random seat, grabbed two male classmates who were kissing, threw them out, and then sat down with Nan Jia.

The school bus is in motion.

It is fast and stable.

Before long, they had left the town center and were heading towards a small island in a sea of ​​blood.

The academy is located in the center of the island.

The forest is lush and dense.

The trees, like ancient dragons, with green vines and red flowers, possessed a unique beauty. After the school bus drove into that ancient forest avenue, the students on the bus even had the illusion of going to another world.

Further ahead, we arrived at the vast Cursed Academy.

It was quite different from what Zhao Yi had imagined.

There are many people inside the Cursed Academy.

Upon entering the academy's grounds, Zhao Yi felt a kind of rule-based mark being planted in his mind.

This is probably to prevent students from leaving the college before they receive their graduation certificates, right?

Zhao Yi's eyes flickered.

"Alright, we've arrived."

"Everyone, please get off the bus."

The driver squeezed the screaming chicken hanging in front of the car, waking up the sleeping freshmen and returning students.

Then he pressed a button.

boom!

The students were ejected from the bus like trash.

Zhao Yi grabbed Nan Jia by the collar, making sure he landed safely.

"Where should we report to?"

Nan Jia looked completely bewildered.

Suddenly, his chest felt burning hot.

Everyone is like this.

The scalding hot spots vary.

"Oh my god!"

"My butt's on fire!"

"Damn it, I'm on fire too!"

"It burns so badly! It burns so badly!"

Everyone engaged in self-examination.

The burning sensation came from their student ID cards.

Bright red writing appeared on it.

The school rules are as follows:

1. Student ID must not be lost.

2. No exam should be missed.

3. Students are absolutely not allowed to leave the college before receiving their graduation certificate.

4. Students must remain in their dormitories from 9:40 PM to 6:40 AM daily.

[Violation of the first four of the above school rules will result in a warning for the first offense and expulsion for the second!]

Upon seeing the school rules, the group, who had initially been joking, suddenly became much more serious.

Ring ring—

The school bell rang, followed by a broadcast.

[The next foreign language exam will begin in ten minutes. Please proceed to your respective exam rooms immediately!]

As the broadcast ended, everyone saw their student ID cards showing their exam location.

Without saying a word, Zhao Yi immediately grabbed Nan Jia and ran towards the teaching building!

Seeing Zhao Yi's urgency on Nanjia Road, he also became tense for a moment:

"Benefactor Zhao, are you in such a hurry because you're worried about not finding an examination room?"

Zhao Yi's eyes flickered as he replied:

"The school has four buildings, labeled A, B, C, and D. Based on the size distribution of the classrooms, each building has about 100 classes."

"The logic of a chaotic city is disordered, so the distribution of classrooms is likely to be disordered as well."

"Our exam room, A-061, might not even be in Building A, or even in the teaching building!"

"We're pressed for time!"

He quickly called out Peppa Pig, and the two of them rode on the black pig, speeding all the way to the school building!

They come and go like the wind.

Enter Building A.

Nan Jia glanced at the classroom door sign on the outermost part of the first floor.

As expected... it's C-098!

And the next one is B-021!

There is absolutely no rule for assigning classroom numbers!

They must find their exam room within ten minutes, or... they will receive a warning!

Remember, you only get one chance to break school rules!

The second time, they will be wiped out!

In the school building area, Page's speed was limited, mainly because there were too many students, many of whom were new students who were frantically searching for classrooms!

Zhao Yi's heart stirred slightly. He summoned Peiqi, activated his Evil Eye, and took Nan Jia onto the flying carpet!

After a search.

We eventually found classroom A-061 on the top floor of the dormitory building!

The viewers in the live stream were all breathless.

You're insane!

Which school would set up classrooms on the dormitory building?!

It's all thanks to Zhao Yi's evil eyes and the Ecstasy Carpet.

If it were a player with less powerful functionality, they would definitely have broken this school rule!

Once inside the classroom, only one minute remained.

But there were less than half the students in the classroom.

Most of them were senior students.

The two quickly sat down in their seats and looked around at their surroundings.

The proctor is playing a matching game on the podium.

He has excellent eyesight.

You can tell from his hand speed, which is so fast that it leaves afterimages.

Ring ring—

The bell rang again.

"Exam begins!"

The proctor suddenly stood up, picked up his phone, and pressed a button.

The students' desks have been transformed into electronic screens.

"Start answering questions."

Anyone caught cheating on an exam will be shot on sight.

After the proctor finished speaking, he pulled out a Magnum from his person.

In front of all the students, he loaded the bullet and pulled the safety.

Some students were late and stood nervously at the door.

Seven people came in total.

Two of them were late for the first time, and the proctor let them into the classroom.

The remaining five... were instantly blown to the head by Magnum!

Brain matter was spilled all over the ground.

The wind blows.

The unpleasant, fishy stench permeated the entire classroom.

These students were all exceptionally strong, but they were completely useless against Magnum, which was empowered by the power of the rules!

Everyone was trembling with fear.

I kept my head down, working on my problems, and dared not say a word.

Although some students did not come to take the exam, everyone here knows that... they cannot escape!

No one cheated during the event.

Poor grades are better than being caught cheating and getting shot in the head!

After the exam, the two went to the balcony to get some fresh air.

Nan Jia took out her student ID, which showed that they had no other plans for the day.

This is a good opportunity to investigate the son of the old village chief of Meipu Village!

"Let's go to the administration building and ask."

The two went downstairs and overheard students comparing answers.

Which reading section did you choose?

"The mother must have killed her son and sewed his body into the doll, is that even a question?"

"Not necessarily. I think it's possible the son killed his mother; there's even a relative clause in the preceding text foreshadowing this..."

"I also think it's the son who killed his mother. I killed my own mother like that when I was six years old, it was fucking satisfying!"

Nan Jia was both shocked and confused when she heard this.

Killing his own mother and still feeling satisfied?

What kind of terrifying demon is this?

What's even more terrifying is that other people actually think this is normal?!

The chaotic city... it's really too eerie!

It seems that only a very small number of people here are relatively normal.

Upon arriving at the administration building, after some investigation, Zhao Yi's guess was confirmed.

The old village chief of Meipu Village had no son studying at the Cursed Academy.

The son he mentioned who called him for help... was fictitious!

"I'm sorry, Benefactor Zhao... I've dragged you down!"

"Sigh... If only I had listened to your advice sooner, we wouldn't be in such a dangerous situation now..."

Nan Jia felt very guilty.

Zhao Yibing didn't mind:

"We can look into the deadly curse incident, solve it, and then we can get our graduation certificates and leave this place!"

Nanjia nodded:

"good!"

Now that she knew she had been tricked, Nan Jia had no reason to stay any longer.

The two approached some school teachers and inquired about the "deadly curse incident."

After listening to this, a female teacher in the office who was grading homework glanced at the two of them with some surprise, put down her pen, and said:

"The Deadly Curse event needs to be retrieved from the library."

"Believe me, son, that's not a good choice."

"Study at the academy for three years, and you will leave here safely."

The female teacher was a very nice person.

But Zhao Yi refused her offer.

After chatting for a while, the two learned that the Cursed Academy was only in its initial stages and many things were still imperfect.

The purpose of the Cursed Academy was to deal with the "terror" in Liucheng and even the entire Chaotic City.

Although the city was already chaotic enough.

But at least in most places, residents are still able to live a good life.

But as time went on, the people here discovered that... the chaotic city was becoming increasingly dangerous!

Various terrorist incidents have occurred frequently!

This is definitely not a good sign!

As a result, some capable individuals began to establish organizations specifically designed to handle terrorist incidents in various areas of the chaotic city.

The Cursed Academy is one of them.

Not wanting to waste time, Zhao Yi and Nan Jia said goodbye to the female teacher and headed to the library.

In a corner on the first floor of the library, there is a desk filled with many files.

There are very few people there.

Many students consciously avoided that area.

Upon hearing that the two wanted to accept the deadly curse event, the administrator couldn't help but try to dissuade them:

"The completion rate for this kind of event is less than one percent. Shouldn't you reconsider?"

Zhao Yi said:

"No need."

The administrator was silent for a moment, then pulled a scroll from the bookshelf behind him and spread it out in front of the two of them.

"There are three relatively easy events that are suitable for you at the moment."

"The first one is the Straw Sisters."

"The second is the Dream Thief Killer."

"The third is the haunted building."

"These three events are not 100% fatal. In the past, although some people failed in their missions, they still survived in the end."

Zhao Yi asked:

Do you have any information?

The administrator handed Zhao Yi three documents.

"Here you are."

Zhao Yi and Nan Jia checked.

All three fatal curse events were paranormal.

Moreover, they all fall under the category of rule-based events.

Therefore, under extreme misfortune... the dangers faced are all the same.

Thus, the Dream Thief Killer caught Zhao Yi's attention.

Since it's all about rules and time, the simpler the rules are, the easier it is to find loopholes in them.

Compared to the other two incidents, the Dream Killer seems to have no personal grudges or conflicts involved.

This will make things much simpler.

"Let's call it The Dream Slayer!"

Zhao Yi took over the case.

The administrator handed the scroll to Zhao and his companion, saying:

"When you are ready and need to be teleported to the event location, go to the private reading room on the third floor of the library, lock the door, and then burn this paper in the brazier!"

Zhao Yi took the scroll and thanked him.

Then I went up to the third floor.

As I went upstairs, I heard footsteps behind me.

Zhao Yi and Nan Jia turned around and found a girl dressed in very... simple clothes.

Her attire was very masculine.

Or perhaps they didn't bother to dress up at all.

This made the originally very beautiful girl look very ordinary.

Her eyes sparkled with mischief and kindness.

Hello everyone.

The girl greeted the two of them.

Zhao Yi glanced at her and asked curiously:

"You were pretending to read a book and spying on us downstairs, and now you've followed us upstairs. What are you trying to do?"

The girl was taken aback by his words, her eyes darting away.

"I...I wasn't spying on you."

"I was reading there when I overheard you guys going to take on a deadly curse incident... I want to go with you!"

"Don't worry, I won't hold you back."

"After all, if we really encounter danger... you don't need to worry about me, right?"

Zhao Yi stroked his chin, finding it quite amusing.

This damn system seems to think his tasks are too easy and is trying to make them harder.

After all, if they were really in danger, he certainly wouldn't go to save the girl.

At least they won't risk their lives to rescue him.

But it's not necessarily the case for bald people.

At that point, the bald man will most likely trigger his "passive" state.

However, if he doesn't release the girl, his journey ahead will definitely be affected.

As seen in the previous Demon Tide dungeon, different events in these large dungeons are interconnected and influence each other.

The system's decision to forcibly add a girl at this point, besides increasing the difficulty of Zhao Yi's game, will inevitably lead to this girl playing an important role in a later event.

Therefore, whether to bring it or not is essentially a matter of weighing the pros and cons.

The young monk couldn't help but say:

"Benefactor Zhao, I think it's acceptable."

"The two of us are still too outnumbered and outmatched."

"Having more helpers means having more security."

Zhao nodded:

"What you say makes sense. The more helpers there are, the greater the possibility of an explosion."

"In that case... shall we go together?"

The girl smiled sweetly.

The three exchanged names.

The girl's name was Li Xiuer.

He came here from a small town, wanting to learn medicine to treat the people in his town.

However, she searched the entire library of the Cursed Academy, but found nothing about medicine.

She didn't want to waste any more time, but she was also afraid to take on the deadly curse case alone.

Now, it's a perfect example of "three men make a tiger"... oh no, three men teaming up.

"Before we delve into the incident, let me explain the situation to you in detail..."

Upon arriving at a small room, Zhao Yi did not rush to enter.

He sat down, his expression serious, and said:

"The Dream Killer incident took place within a bizarre, looping dream..."

PS: Two-in-one.

I fell asleep too quickly yesterday and didn't say goodnight to everyone.

So today I'll talk about two things...zzZ...

Actually, I did something stupid.

You should skip this boring part. If you find it boring, you can wait until this part is finished before reading it.

I'll probably finish writing it tomorrow.

Abbaabaaba...
