What topic do people love to discuss the most?

What joy gives the greatest thrill?

It's the events built upon the suffering of others.

...

At this moment, more than half of the doll had been gnawed away.

Hundreds of uncanny beings surrounded the area, with many more gathering in the hallway.

These creatures were showing signs of agitation.

If he didn't want to be mobbed, he had to hurry.

Although Xiaoman could help, Jiang Che preferred to complete the task on his own.

He rushed to dorm 614 in a hurry.

He had thought he might still see Zhu Xiaoyue, but the dorm was empty.

However, on the wall, there was a line of blood-red words that were shocking to behold!

"You are all murderers!"

Just as Jiang Che had suspected.

Zhu Xiaoyue was driven to death by her classmates' words.

A kind word warms one in winter, but harsh words hurt in summer.

Rumors spread like wildfire, and many voices can melt gold!

At that moment, Zhu Xiaoyue's voice suddenly echoed throughout the building.

"This happened to me at the most beautiful time of my life, but shouldn't this have been a happy thing? Shouldn't this have been my own business? What does it have to do with anyone else?"

"I can accept punishment, the school can expel me, but what does my right or wrong have to do with you? I never harmed you, did I?"

"I'm eighteen, I'm an adult, why can't I do what I want? Why can't I love who I want?"

"Your mouths, your words, they're like knives, cutting into me one slice at a time!"

"…"

Zhu Xiaoyue's voice didn't stop.

Meanwhile, the chilling sound of ghostly wails came from outside.

Jiang Che went out to check and found those wooden uncanny beings acting like they had gone mad.

They were pulling out each other's tongues, gouging out eyes.

Howling, roaring.

Tearing their own faces apart, breaking their arms.

At this moment, Xiaoman's voice became urgent: "Something's not right, let's go!"

Jiang Che's expression darkened, and he gripped the scissors tightly as he charged out.

Zhu Xiaoyue's voice was clearly tormenting these uncanny beings, but it was also driving them insane.

With the doll in Jiang Che's hand already in tatters, some uncanny beings began to attack him.

"Ah!!!"

A sharp scream rang out as a disfigured uncanny being suddenly lunged at him from the right!

"Swish!"

With a swift motion, its head was severed!

Fortunately, these uncanny beings were only F-level, most not even reaching F-level.

To stop Jiang Che, they would all have to attack at once.

One by one, they were no match.

(Zhu Xiaoyue: Do you think it's just words, that it doesn't matter? Do you think you haven't done anything evil? Then you say it was just a joke, and you really think nothing happened? You're disgusting! So disgusting!)

Jiang Che reached the fourth floor, but the uncanny beings were becoming more agitated.

The number of attackers was increasing.

Xiaoman: "Let me handle it."

Jiang Che: "No rush, let's wait a bit."

By now, Jiang Che was covered in blood, and the scissors in his hand were turning crimson.

(Didn't you all say the child should die? I killed it, I killed it! Yet you call me a murderer! Didn't I do what you said? What's the difference between aborting it and killing it?)

He reached the second floor...

Jiang Che's heart grew heavier.

For an E-level challenge, there seemed to be too many complications.

Without the Taboo Object, escaping this building would have been nearly impossible.

Meanwhile, a bloody figure rushed out from the first floor.

It was Ye Qingyao.

She was panting heavily, her face filled with terror as she looked at the building, unable to regain her composure.

Why did those uncanny beings suddenly go berserk?

And whose voice was that?

Filled with despair, disgust, hatred!

If it weren't for the ghostly spirit within her, she wouldn't have made it out this time.

(You're vicious and foolish, your hearts colder than anything, you hide behind and just want to watch the show! You stand on the moral high ground, in the sunlight, to scorn, to criticize, to mock!)

(I can bear the mistakes I've made, but what about you! What does it have to do with you! Yes, I'm a murderer, I listened to you and strangled my child!)

(But why won't you let me go!)

(You killed me!)

(None of you will escape!!!)

Under the night sky.

The abandoned dormitory building erupted completely.

Screams, cries, wails, all sorts of painful sounds converged, just hearing them could drive someone insane!

"Thud!"

Jiang Che finally burst out.

He fell heavily to the ground, rolling several meters away.

At the same time, the task notification sounded in his ear.

"Special clue obtained—[The Dead Infant in the Toilet]"

"Special clue obtained—[Zhu Xiaoyue's Resentment]"

"Special clue obtained—[The Erased Name]"

Jiang Che lay on the ground in a "big" shape, gasping for breath.

That was close, almost didn't make it.

But the harvest this time was quite good.

Although there was no progress display for this challenge task, these three clues undoubtedly greatly increased the possibility of completing the challenge!

And it's only the second day.

There are still three days left.

Barring any surprises, this challenge task is almost a sure thing.

"Whew—"

Jiang Che exhaled deeply and sat up.

He also saw Ye Qingyao not far away.

Ye Qingyao walked towards Jiang Che, a smile on her face.

"That was really dangerous just now."

Jiang Che: "Yeah."

Ye Qingyao: "So, still considering cooperation?"

Jiang Che got up, dusted off the dirt and blood, and said, "I'm used to being alone."

With Li Jiahao's previous example.

And learning from Wang Defa that Hu Junjie was set up by Yang Ziyang.

The rewards are too tempting, cooperation and such.

Sorry, that kind of relationship is too fragile.

Jiang Che didn't want to be stabbed in the back.

So cooperation, he really had no thoughts about it.

Even if Ye Qingyao had clues he didn't know about.

However, Ye Qingyao didn't seem surprised by Jiang Che's answer.

Instead, she smiled and said, "I knew you wouldn't easily trust others."

"But it's okay."

"Staying alive should be more important than clues, right!"

As she finished speaking.

Ye Qingyao's eyes suddenly turned blood-red!

Her delicate lips instantly tore open, transforming into a hideous, bloody maw!

Her fair skin began to peel away.

Revealing the blood-red shell underneath, like the surface of a crocodile.

"People die for wealth, birds die for food!"

"Jiang Che, don't blame me!"

In the next second.

Ye Qingyao transformed into a bloody shadow and charged straight at him!

However, facing Ye Qingyao at this moment, Jiang Che let out a cold laugh.

"Ghostly spirit possession?"

"Who wouldn't know that!"
