Heâd underestimated âFamily.â This was the rookie who had cleared an unsolvable dungeon, after allâof course he had a few tricks up his sleeve. Wu Di rushed to the back door and tried to open it, but no matter how hard he pulled, it was locked tight. He then tried climbing in through a window, only to find that the windows were bizarrely sealed. No matter what he tried, they wouldn't budge, while time kept ticking away. Sweat poured down Wu Diâs face. ShitâŠis he going to die here? This canât be real! He was a notorious fugitive, someone who had killed several top officialsâand now he might die here?âŠBecause he couldnât find the door to the classroom?! That was the dumbest cause of death heâd ever heard! Tch! In desperation, he pulled out a bloodstained crimson bladeâa paranormal item, and slashed at the classroom window. The blood blade hit the window and⊠went completely silent, like it had sunk into a bottomless lake. Wu Diâs face twisted darker by the second. Inside the classroom, the players had all gone wide-eyed, especially Yang Yujie... Thank goodness sheâd stepped into the classroom first. If she had been a second slower, she and Wu Di would both be locked out right now! What kind of busted skill was that? Even the players on Team Good were dumbfounded. Jiang Wanfeng, a player who had cleared four dungeons, had been completely hopeless coming into this match. The opposing side was full of veteran players averaging seven dungeon clears. It was a bloodbath waiting to happen. She couldnât figure it outâWerenât competitive dungeons usually evenly matched? Why did this one feel so absurdly lopsided? Even âthe family memberâ couldnât possibly make up for the difference, right? Sheâd had no faith in their side at all. And yetâŠsheâd just witnessed that âFamilyâ opened with a complete sucker punch to Team Evil. Goddamn?! He just erased the door?! For the first time, the rookies of Team Good felt a flicker of hope. Meanwhile, as Wu Di flailed helplessly outside the window, the one-eyed teacher at the podium inside grew cold. She looked at Wu Di through the window and said ominously, âItâs 8:01. Youâre late.â Wu Di cried out in frustration, âBut Teacher! The doorâs gone!â How was he supposed to enter the classroom?! But the teacherâs expression only darkened further. âThese new generations of students have no discipline. All they know is making excuses. Back in my day, if we couldnât afford the paranormal tuition, weâd do temporary work at human slaughterhouses to make ends meet. No conditions? Then make some! Everyone else did it, why canât you?!â Wu Di stared at her, veins popping. What the hell are you talking about?! The damn door was gone! GONE! You want me to "create" a door?! You gonna manifest one for me?! This ghost teacher is out of her mind! Right then, Bai Wan quietly stepped back, brushed his hand over the wallâand the door reappeared. The one-eyed teacher squinted and craned her neck toward the door, then pointed to it with annoyance. âThe doorâs been there the whole time. You think Iâm blind?â You ARE blind, you dumb fâit was a wall for a solid minute! Now you act like nothing happened?! Whatâs that one eye even for?! But the ghost teacher wasnât done. She stormed out of the classroom, face twisted in fury. Wu Diâs expression shifted. He whipped out his cursed blood blade and slashed toward the teacher. This was a powerful cursed weapon he'd obtained from a serial killer who had slaughtered over a hundred peopleâone of Wu Diâs trump cards, and near the blood-grade level. But the moment it touched the teacher, it lost all momentum. The cursed blood on the blade even dried up. âThe itemâs been suppressed?!â Wu Diâs eyes widened. He dropped the blade immediately and turned to run. Too lateâThe teacherâs hand shot out and gripped him by the throat. In full view of the class, everyone watched in horror as Wu Di was lifted by the throat, his life force draining away bit by bit. All players in the classroom recoiled in fear, especially the ones from Team Good. This one-eyed ghost teacher was horrifyingâcommon paranormal items were completely useless against her. And most of them didnât even have an item yet, let alone one of high grading. Only Bai Wan remained perfectly calm as he watched the scene. After all, he had⊠plenty of cards to play. Blood-grade items? No problem. If that didnât work, he still had that abyss-grade one in reserve. And if even that failed, heâd just wait for his Awakening Crystal to come off cooldown. At that point, he wouldnât just destroy the teacherâheâd nuke the entire school. He glanced down at the customized crystal in his pocket. [Cooldown Remaining: 30 Days] When heâd first entered the dungeon, it had said 40 days, which had given him a scare. If it was really going to take that long, itâd be useless. But to his surprise, the cooldown had been ticking down rapidly ever since. Almost like⊠a bug. That got him thinkingâmaybe even though his Error Code ability hadnât triggered yet, some future echo of it had already started bleeding into the present. Either way, something was messing with the systemâs restrictions. The crystalâs lock timer was collapsing faster than expected. At this rate, maybe in a day or twoâhell, maybe even tonightâheâd be able to use it. And when that moment cameâŠHeâd give this dungeon a spectacular farewell. With Wu Di dead, Bai Wan returned to his seat. Fortunately, the game had thoughtfully placed each playerâs photo on their desk, making it easy to find. As luck would have it, his deskmate was none other than the sultry Yang Yujie. She eyed him in surprise. âDidnât expect that one.â That door-vanishing skill had genuinely caught her off guard. If she hadnât entered first, she mightâve been the one stuck outside. Still, now that sheâd seen it, it wasnât so scary. Abilities like that were rareâmost players only got one after a few dungeons. Since sheâd already seen one of his, maybe there were only one or two more she didnât know about. Once she figured out how they all worked, she could find ways to counter them. This trickster didnât seem like a power-based player. He relied on weird gimmicks. That meant she just needed to stay alert. Yang Yujie smiled and made a throat-slitting gesture toward him. But Bai Wan just gazed at her dreamily. âSister⊠youâre so beautiful. That long, silky hair. That smooth skin. And that black blouse with a miniskirt combo? Absolutely stunning.â Yang Yujie blinked. A smile tugged at her lips. She knew he was trying to butter her up, but stillâbeing complimented by a younger guy wasnât unpleasant. She was about to tell him sheâd leave him an intact corpse when he added: âWith looks like that, you must be super popular with humans. Honestly, Sis, youâre beautiful enough to pass for a humanâŠâ The moment those words left Bai Wanâs lips, every ghost in the room turned to look. Their grotesque faces twisted in suspicion. Some of their eyes were even bleeding. âYeah⊠she does look humanâŠâ âHey, you think sheâs really a ghost?â Yang Yujie turned pale. Damn it! Bai Wan, you son of a bitch! She finally realizedâhis fear earlier had all been an act. That performance was Oscar-worthy! Fortunately, the one-eyed teacher came to her rescue. âHow many times do I have to tell you kids? Donât judge a ghost by their looks!â âJust because someone looks like a person doesnât mean they are one! Isnât that right, Lu Yuan?!â Lu Yuan was Bai Wanâs alias in this dungeon. He stood up obediently. âSorry, Teacher. I wonât judge ghosts by appearance again. I just thought my deskmateâs stockings and miniskirt combo was way too human-like!â The teacher glanced at Yang Yujie. Yeah⊠that outfit is kinda human. She scowled. âWang Yanfang! I keep telling youâstop dressing like a human! Act your age! You think we wear clothes just to look good?!â Yang Yujie, finally spared from death, nearly burst into tears. âSorry, Teacher! I promise⊠I wonât dress like a human anymore! I wonât be a person again!â Bai Wan sighed. Shame the teacher didnât off her. But no matter, heâd have more chances later. And while he was busy throwing Yang Yujie under the bus, the system had already uploaded this roundâs highlight clip to the forum: [The Door DisappearedâSo Whose Fault Was It That He Was Late?] Hey everyone!
