Zongman, you don't follow the rules at all, right?

How can they not be confused?

As soon as I closed my eyes and opened them again, I found myself in this inexplicable place, being chased by ghosts and monsters, facing a life-and-death crisis.

"I was also confused at the beginning, but I adapted quickly." Hui Shi nodded and said seriously.

Everyone looked at Hui Shi silently with strange expressions.

You adapted so quickly.

"Let me first tell you my general understanding. Can you two senior teachers, Yukinoshita and Hiratsuka Shizuka, please add to it?" Huishi continued.

"Sure." "No problem."

Yukinoshita Yukino and Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded in agreement.

"I won't go into all the messy speculations, I'll just tell you the conclusion I came to."

"In short, the entire world is undergoing some unknown and profound change. The most direct manifestation of this is this bizarre game called 'Ghost Paradise.' This game pulls people in from all over the place, bringing them to a special space where they face dangerous ghosts and have to complete various tasks."

"If you complete it, you will get some special rewards. If you don't complete it, you will die."

After saying that, Huitoki looked at Yukinoshita Yukino and Hiratsuka Shizuka.

The two of them understood what Huishi meant and nodded in unison. Then Hiratsuka Shizuka added, "Huishi, you summarized it well. This game appeared very suddenly. No one knows when it started, and no one knows if there's a mastermind behind it."

"In short, it's very mysterious." After a pause, Shizuka Hiratsuka continued, "Although failing a mission in this game will indeed result in death, succeeding does indeed grant you many unusual rewards. Once you clear the first mission, you'll fully unlock the game's features."

"When the time comes, you'll be able to use the game system to browse a lot of things, including the mall. However, the items in the mall are randomly refreshed every week and are very expensive. The cheapest item I've seen so far costs several hundred points, or several thousand Paradise Coins."

"What are they?" Hui Shi asked curiously.

"Just like the games you young people often play, there are equipment with various effects, consumables, and some skill books." Shizuka Hiratsuka replied.

"A new skill book has been refreshed in my store. It's called 'Psychic Shock Repulse'. It uses mental power to repel the target in the field of view by several meters. The effect on spiritual enemies is halved. In addition, the price of this skill book is 5000 Paradise Coins." Yukinoshita Yukino interrupted.

As soon as the words fell, everyone either widened their eyes or let out a small exclamation.

Hui Shi raised an eyebrow and said, "Five thousand? That would require 25 female ghosts."

"..."xN

When everyone looked at Hui, their surprise was instantly cleared away.

No, with that serious look on your face, are you really considering robbing it?

And you've even calculated the number, so you must be considering it seriously, right?

After twitching her lips, Shizuka Hiratsuka changed the subject and said, "Gray, let's discuss what to do next. What are your thoughts?"

"Thoughts?" Huitoki came back to his senses from his calculations and said, "Teacher Hiratsuka Shizuka, as a teacher, do you think it's a good thing for students to be curious?"

Blinking, Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't quite understand why Huishi suddenly asked this question.

However, she still replied: "Of course it is a good thing. When students are curious, they will take the initiative to learn because they want to know the things they are curious about."

"Mr. Hiratsuka, I think you should have answered that you shouldn't be curious." Xiangzi suddenly interrupted.

"why……"

"Xiangzi, what are you talking about? I think what Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka said is very good! Not only students should have curiosity, but we humans should also have curiosity. And isn't it because of curiosity that humans continue to make progress in science and technology? Without curiosity, how could people get to where they are today?" Hui Shi suddenly raised his voice, interrupting Shizuka Hiratsuka's words and attracting everyone's attention.

Then Hui Shi continued seriously, "I'm very curious now."

"I'm curious how many ghosts are still in this abandoned school. I'm curious if the total amount of Paradise Coins they have is 10,000?"

Everyone: "..."

After a while, Hiratsuka Shizuka came to her senses and said, "No, that's not how you should use your curiosity, right?!"

"Hiratsuka-sensei, are you just saying you're not curious?"

"I'm not curious at all! Also, why is it ten thousand? Didn't Yukinoshita say that the price of the skill book is five thousand?" Hiratsuka Shizuka asked, looking at Hui speechlessly.

"?" Hui Shi asked, looking at Hiratsuka Shizuka with a serious expression. He then asked, "Hiratsuka-sensei, can you guarantee that each skill book will be 5,000? You know, plans can never keep up with changes, and the more money the better. I even think 10,000 is not enough."

After she finished speaking, the corners of Shizuka Hiratsuka's eyes twitched even more violently.

Damn, that actually makes some sense.

"Let's arrange the next action like this! Set a small goal, 20,000! Let's go find our kind ghost friends to raise money." Hui Shi waved his hand and said with a smile.

Why has the amount of money increased again? !

Chapter 12 Ghost: Hush, keep quiet

Because of Hui Shi's appearance, the weird copy, which should have been full of horror, cruelty, killing and other elements, became abstract.

And this outrageously abstract situation is still evolving.

After the brief discussion, Huishi made the same decision as before and searched the entire teaching building.

Although the others were speechless about this, they still followed Hui Shi in searching the building. However, they just watched from the side while Hui Shi searched each classroom one by one.

This can also be considered as protecting their safety. After all, it is Huishi who is not afraid of ghosts, not them.

But then, something happened that made them confused.

Huishi searched the classroom carefully, looking for possible props and equipment, or what she called "ghost friends".

Yukinoshita and the others stood outside the classroom, watching Huishi's actions, and also served as lookouts, reporting immediately if any unexpected situation occurred.

Nothing happened at first, but as they watched, they found that ghosts would appear around them, or in some corners that they could not notice at first.

These ghosts trembled as they watched Huishi's figure, but while trembling, they also felt a bit angry. This anger was very much like the look of someone who had been bullied.

Without the ghosts having to explain why, Yukinoshita and the others could see why they were feeling that way.

Fight? It's when you can't beat Huishi.

Talk? That's even harder to say.

Their advantage as ghosts is useless in front of Hui Shi.

In this case, they can only become leeks to be harvested.

In that case, if you can't afford to offend me, can't you just avoid me?

Therefore, all the ghosts in the teaching building tacitly chose to avoid Huishi, but they could not leave the teaching building, so they could only hide in places where Huishi could not see them and stare at her with angry eyes.

As luck would have it, because they couldn't get too far away, the place where these ghosts were hiding was a blind spot from Huishi's side, but Yukinoshita and others who were watching Huishi's actions from the side could see them very clearly.

These ghosts also knew this situation, so they chose to threaten Yukinoshita and others.

Yes, threats.

When those ghosts approached Yukinoshita and the others, they suddenly felt a cold breath, and fear unconsciously emerged in their hearts, and their bodies became a little stiff.

They were not unfamiliar with this feeling. They had this feeling when they were chased by the female ghost and the raincoat ghost before.

That's the feeling when facing death.

Just when they thought they were going to be harmed by these ghosts and were about to scream for help at the risk of their lives.

A ghost with a ferocious face and pale skin suddenly said in a hoarse voice, "Keep quiet, you guys, don't tell the monster in the classroom that I'm here."

Everyone: "..."

Seeing everyone's expression pause, the ghost immediately thought that his intimidation was successful, and then continued threateningly: "Do you hear me? Don't tell anyone that I'm here, or in other words, don't tell anyone that I exist. Otherwise, even at the risk of being killed by that monster, I will take one of you away."

Everyone continued to remain silent, and then no one knew what they were thinking. The two senior people, Yukinoshita Yukino and Hiratsuka Shizuka, nodded first, and the others followed suit.

After this, the ghost, satisfied with the answer, released his hold on the crowd and slowly faded away. Before leaving, he left a message: "Hurry up that monster to search quickly, and leave quickly after the search is completed!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the feeling that made his hands and feet cold and the fear that rose unconsciously in his heart completely disappeared.

But the crowd did not have that lingering fear or the feeling of having survived a disaster.

Instead, it feels even more outrageous.

Are they threatened by ghosts?

The reason is not that they offended each other, nor that they provoked a ghost.

But these ghosts were worried that they and others would tell Huishi about its existence.

It's like this: after the school bully's subordinates are bullied by the school bully, the subordinates are furious, but they can't beat the school bully, so they can only bully other people. However, these other people are protected by the school bully, so they can only make a few harmless threats.

This absurd and outrageous feeling, at this moment, has overshadowed their fear and terror of ghosts.

Yes, the silence and pause of Yukinoshita and the others just now were not because of fear, but because they were at a loss.

Afterwards, everyone watched Huishi finish searching the entire teaching building, and the corners of their mouths twitched more and more.

After searching all the way, everyone realized a fact: there were ghosts in so many classrooms in the teaching building. On the contrary, there were not only ghosts but also a lot of them.

The reason they are invisible is because they are all hiding from the gray sky.

In ordinary classrooms, when Huishi is searching inside the classroom, they hide outside the classroom or behind people like Yukinoshita.

In some special classrooms, such as music classrooms, chemistry classrooms, etc., when Hui searches inside, he will find ghosts hiding inside the musical instruments or behind them.

In ghost-prone areas like men's and women's restrooms, when Hui Shi ran in to search, the ghosts would hide on the ceiling or behind them.

……

Every time they searched a place, they would be threatened by those ghosts.

The few times when they were not threatened by ghosts were because those ghosts had better places to hide, but even so, they would use their eyes to warn Yukinoshita and others not to talk too much.

After searching all the way, Yukinoshita and the others were completely exhausted.

"Hey? Is there no ghosts in this damned game? Or can't they afford ghost employees? I searched two teaching buildings in a row and didn't find any other ghosts. Some skin-changing krypton gold games know to put more ordinary monsters in the dungeon, but there are not a single one here."

After the search of the teaching building was completed, everyone returned to the lobby on the first floor. Hui Shi frowned and said strangely.

Everyone looked at Huishi and said nothing, but their expressions were as strange as they could be.

Shoko Toyokawa glanced at the corner of the corridor at the back. There were at least a dozen ghosts gathered there, staring at this side intently.

Then, Toyokawa Shoko looked out the window in the blind spot of Huishi's vision. Several ghost shadows were floating outside the window. They looked at Yukinoshita and others and made a series of gestures. Yukinoshita and others also understood the meaning of these gestures.

Simply put, it means: "Don't reveal our existence, or we will fight you to the death!"

Everyone was silent, and then looked at each other.

Yukinoshita and others could see the speechlessness and helplessness in other people's eyes.

Yuigahama Yui looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka, whose eyes were twitching, and asked, "Teacher Hiratsuka, the two mission copies you experienced were also..."

"Yuigahama-san, I know what you're asking, but I can tell you that the dungeons I've been through are anything but like that. In the first two dungeons, my teammates and I were constantly running away, dodging monsters, and searching for clues to clear the levels."

"Even in the last mission, my right hand was torn off by a ghost. If it weren't for the powerful healing ability of this game that can heal any external injury by paying points or paradise coins, what you see now would not be me with both hands intact." Shizuka Hiratsuka said, rubbing his eyebrows.

"I also sustained fatal injuries during the mission." Yukinoshita Yukino also shared her situation. "Just like Hiratsuka-sensei said, if I hadn't been able to request the game system to heal my body after completing the mission, I wouldn't be standing here in front of you all right now. At the very least, I would have been in the hospital ICU for several months."

Hearing this, everyone fell silent again.

There was no need for Yukinoshita Yukino and Hiratsuka Shizuka to lie to them, so every mission in this "haunted paradise" was really very dangerous. It was normal to lose your life if you were not careful, and you could even find the problem if you thought about it carefully.

They followed Huishi and searched all the way here, and found a large number of ghosts. Although these ghosts were not as powerful as the raincoat ghost and the female ghost, they were still deadly enough to them.

And there is at least one such ghost in every classroom.

What would happen to them if there were no ash?

Not to say that they will be completely wiped out, but losing one or two people, or having them seriously injured, with broken arms and legs, should be no problem, right?

And they have to spend five hours in this situation.

You can imagine how dangerous it is.

only……

When everyone looked at Hui who kept complaining, that complicated feeling emerged again.

Chapter 13 I must encounter a ghost today!

The search of the second teaching building ended in failure.

Afterwards, Huishi came to the third teaching building with dissatisfaction, and the others came with mixed feelings.

Entering the teaching building, looking at the extremely dim surroundings and the quiet environment where one could clearly hear breathing, everyone felt once again the terrifying atmosphere that should have been present in the weird game copy.
