"The excitement is all theirs, I have nothing. I was so close to seeing the stars, but then the dawn broke..."

A cryptic hint left Jiang Che puzzled.

Meanwhile, the doors of the dorm rooms began shaking more violently.

Some doors even started to crack!

Whatever was inside those rooms was about to burst out!

At this moment, Xiaoman seemed to realize the severity of the situation and couldn't help but speak up.

"What are you standing there for? Run, there are too many Uncanny here, I might not be able to handle them all."

Jiang Che: "Aren't you supposed to be strong?"

Xiaoman: "The injuries from before haven't healed yet."

Heh...

Jiang Che gritted his teeth.

Then he did something that even startled Xiaoman!

Instead of running towards the stairs, Jiang Che turned and sprinted towards the last room, dorm 614!

Hints don't appear for no reason.

He had checked all the rooms except this last one!

Everything happening now might not be a trap.

But rather an attempt to stop them from opening the door to 614!

"Bang!"

Jiang Che kicked open the wooden door!

The scene inside came into view.

It was a very pure-looking girl, exuding a youthful aura.

She stood by the window, her back to Jiang Che.

Her smooth black hair fluttered in the wind, possibly using a brand like Rejoice.

She reached out with her delicate hands and picked up a book from the table.

A voice like wind chimes rang out.

"The love is separated by mountains and seas, mountains and seas cannot be leveled."

"The sea has a boat to cross, the mountain has a path to walk."

"This love crosses mountains and seas, mountains and seas can be leveled."

"Mountains and seas leveled."

"..."

"The heart remains unresolved..."

A young person, a young voice, yet the words carried a sense of helplessness and sadness.

Suddenly, the vision blurred!

Everything in front of him vanished, replaced by an empty, abandoned dorm room!

But the voice in his ear proved Jiang Che was right!

"Congratulations on obtaining the clue—[Unresolved Heart]"

"Unlock challenge task—[The Power of Public Opinion]"

"Run!!!" Xiaoman's voice exploded in his mind.

Jiang Che didn't hesitate any longer and bolted!

"Bang bang bang!"

One by one, the doors shattered.

Bloody hands reached out from inside, waving incessantly.

"Stay with me!"

"Stay with us!"

"I'm so cold!"

"We're so hungry!"

"Ah!!!"

Not just bloody hands, but even grotesque heads emerged from some dorms!

Jiang Che ran down without looking back.

His heart was in his throat.

Over three hundred Uncanny, over three hundred!

Oh my god!

By the time Jiang Che reached the first floor, those Uncanny in school uniforms had already burst out of the dorms.

They roared, screamed, and howled, surging madly towards Jiang Che.

"Goodbye, you all!"

Jiang Che leaped and dashed out the door!

And just as his body passed through the door, everything in the abandoned building returned to its original state.

As if nothing had ever happened.

Or perhaps all those scenes just now were illusions!

"Whew~~~"

Jiang Che let out a long sigh of relief, his voice trembling slightly.

At this moment, Ye Qingyao, who had already come out, walked over and asked, "Are you okay?"

Jiang Che waved his hand, pretending to be frightened.

Ye Qingyao asked, "Why didn't you run when I called earlier?"

Jiang Che: "My legs went weak."

"..." Ye Qingyao chuckled and said, "Did you find some clue? Did you unlock a challenge task?"

Jiang Che grinned: "Guess."

Ye Qingyao: "Guess if I can guess."

"Oh? Not bad." Jiang Che stood up and dusted off his clothes, "Then stop guessing, let's go back to sleep."

Ye Qingyao: "Was it dorm 614?"

"You don't have to say anything, I can go myself."

Ye Qingyao wasn't stupid.

Although she ran fast earlier, she quickly figured it out too.

So, no matter how Jiang Che answered, she would go back in again.

After all, she also had a ghostly spirit in her body.

Surviving and coming out was still possible.

Moreover, someone like her participated in the Uncanny Trial to risk her life.

Jiang Che shrugged: "The clue is in 614, but I advise you to be careful, don't die in there."

"What's in 614?"

Jiang Che: "..."

"Fifty thousand, for your information, of course, provided we both make it back alive."

"So, in your eyes, I'm that kind of person."

"One hundred thousand."

"In the Mystic World, everyone relies on their own skills, don't insult me with money."

"One hundred fifty thousand."

"Two hundred thousand."

Ye Qingyao frowned slightly: "You're quite principled, fine, forget it then..."

Jiang Che: "Deal, two hundred thousand it is!"

Ye Qingyao: "..."

Xiaoman: "I want to terminate the contract..."

"So, what's in 614." Ye Qingyao said, "Though I know making such promises in the Mystic World is ridiculous, I still want to say, as long as we both get out, not a penny less for you."

Jiang Che: "There's a girl in 614, from my extensive experience with women, she should be a literary big-breasted cute girl."

Ye Qingyao's expression changed slightly: "How can you be so frivolous?"

"Don't worry, nothing dangerous, you'll see when you go."

With that, Jiang Che turned and walked away without looking back.

Ye Qingyao glanced at the abandoned dorm building, gritted her teeth, and stepped inside again.

……

……

The next day, morning.

"Believe in yourself, oh oh oh oh~"

Amidst the passionate music, the students got up one after another.

After washing up, they headed to the cafeteria for breakfast.

Jiang Che glanced at the empty bed of his roommate and left the dorm as well.

His roommate hadn't come back all night...

Walking with Wang Defa, they complained in the cafeteria.

Then headed straight to the teaching building.

Human brain flowers, human meat buns, can they really eat that?

It seems they'll have to find a way to solve the food problem next.

If this continues, getting thin from hunger will make his sister worry.

During morning reading, Jiang Che was absent-minded.

He kept pondering the clue he got last night.

Unresolved Heart?

A young girl's unresolved heart, was she dumped?

But the challenge task is called The Power of Public Opinion.

The Power of Public Opinion...

Public...

Mouth... Pah! It should be public.

He glanced at his desk mate who looked like a flower.

Jiang Che nudged her arm and whispered, "Hey beauty, stop picking your nose."

"Can I ask you something?"

Desk mate: "What?"

"The girl from dorm 614, what's her story?"

The desk mate was stunned, then whispered.

"Don't ask about 614."

"Knowing too much is bad for everyone."

Jiang Che: "???"

You're playing games with me now?

The desk mate grinned, revealing two rows of crooked sharp teeth.

Just as Jiang Che was about to tell her to get lost.

Suddenly, a chill swept over.

Everyone in the class, except Wang Defa, turned to stare at him...

His scalp tingled.

Jiang Che's face turned dark.

Motherfucker.

Stepped on a landmine.
