As he entered the teaching building, the corridor that Su Zimo saw was pitch black. There were no lights in the teaching building, and the classroom doors on either side of the corridor were shut, leaving no way to transmit light.
Su ZImo took out a flashlight from the store and walked step by step into the corridor using its light. His steps werenât hurried or rushing. His mood was much calmer than that of the trainers. He even dared to open each door that he passed by.
Pushing open the classroom door nearest him, Su Zimo adjusted the flashlight brightness to its maximum. He could see that it was a relatively normal classroom with neatly arranged desks and chairs, and there didnât seem to be much dust covering anything.
Su Zimo began to check each item in the classroom that had potential to be a product. It turned out that the nightmare university really wasnât disappointing. Su Zimo just walked to the podium and found two boxes of unopened chalk.
[Nightmare Brand White Chalk (No Stars)]
[Quantity: 2]
[Sale Price: 1 yuan]
[Description: The main body of white chalk produced by a high-quality manufacturer, made with white powder. No one knows where this powder comes from.]
After searching the podium and continuing to walk around, Su Zimo found an unopened pack of cigarettes on a table. There was a blank book on another table nearby, but the book was different from the student exercise books that Su Zimo once sold. It was a thick notebook with a leather cover. It looked a bit old, but there was no writing inside, and it was recognized as a product.
[Nightmare Brand Cigarettes (No Stars)]
[Sale Price: 2 yuan]
[Description: After lighting a cigarette, the white smoke may take you to a mysterious place.]
[Nightmare Brand Notebook (No Stars)]
[Sale Price: 1 yuan]
[Description: There seems to be something written in the notebook, but there is a force blocking the text. Nothing can be seen.]
Su Zimo also found a utility knife and some blades at the back of the classroom. Although the rusty utility knife couldnât be used as a product, the box of blades next to it was still intact.
[Nightmare Brand Utility Knife Blade (No Stars)]
[Sale Price: 1 yuan]
[Description: There is only one piece per box. It is not only sharp, but may also cut something that is impossible to cut.]
Although there werenât any products with stars in the classroom, Su Zimo, who had packed everything into his backpack, was already very satisfied. After all, it was only the first classroom he had searched. In Su Zimoâs eyes, the four-story teaching building had become a treasure trove. It had become his lifespan, had become his shop experience, had even become a blossoming Shouhua.
After searching through the eight classrooms on the first floor, Su Zimo found five boxes of unopened white chalk, two packs of cigarettes with completely different boxes but printed with Nightmare Brand, one old notebook without any writing, a box of blades, and a pair of glasses in a glasses case.
[Nightmare Brand Glasses (No Stars)]
[Sale Price: 2 yuan]
[Description: There is no lens in any manner, but after wearing them, you may be able to see something that you should have seen but hadnât.]
Somewhat satisfied, he looked at the goods in his backpack behind him, then set off to the second floor of the teaching building.
Itâs strange to say that although Su Zimo had become accustomed to the mysterious and ominous descriptions of the no-star products, the few products that he found this time feel like theyâre suggesting something.
There was a large set of classroom doors next to the stairs on the second floor of the teaching building. After Su Zimo walked over and pushed open the two doors, he used the flashlight and found that it was a large lecture hall that could accommodate one to two hundred people.
The whole classroom was very deep. You would have to walk down a step to enter.
Su Zimo stopped on the stairs for a moment. He found that in the corner of the lecture hall farthest from him, there was a black shadow sitting there, motionless.
The reason he noticed the shadow was because the flashlight in his hands was high quality, directly illuminating the snow-white walls of the lecture hall. Su Zimo could vaguely see everything in the lecture hall, including the shadow curled up on the seat in the corner.
That shouldnât be a living human.
It may even be one of the seven supernatural events that the trainers needed to find.
Because the shadow curled up over there didnât move, Su Zimo didnât want to alarm him. He just held the metal pen in his hand and stepped towards the podium.
The black umbrella was in Su Zimoâs backpack right then. Su Zimo, who hadnât yet adjusted to his enhanced strength, even left a few fingerprints when he reached out his hand and brushed against the wall. A fearful response was really not obvious to Boss Su.
Perhaps because the area of the lecture hall was larger than that of ordinary teachersâ, Su Zimo found more useful things there, such as two sets of thick markers that could write on the whiteboard in the lecture hall. Each was a tricolor set with black, red, and blue.
[Nightmare Brand Markers (No Stars)]
[Sale Price: 1 yuan]
[Description: There are always people who enjoy scribbling on the whiteboard with a marker, but there is a mysterious force covering the writing and drawings, so no one can see them.]
The markers were only secondary. Su Zimo was satisfied when he found a pointer on the podium. The wooden pointer looked old, but the reason that it was a product is because it was a one star ghost tool.
[The Unstoppable Pointer (One Star)]
[Sale Price: 10 yuan]
[Description: No matter how harsh the teacher is, the sound produced by him tapping the pointer canât deter a malicious spirit. When used to deter humans, it may have a different effect.]
Su Zimo couldnât help but glance at the shadow in the corner. Ghost Umbrella once said that ghost tools usually appear around malicious spirits since items around them are more likely to retain their essence.
So it wasnât surprising that ghost tools appeared in the lecture hall.
Su Zimo even found an unopened bottle of mineral water on a table in the first row of the lecture hall. The name of the seemingly ordinary product was âOrdinary Exorcism Water. It was a one star ghost tool.
[Ordinary Exorcism Water (One Star)]
[Sale Price: 10 yuan]
[Description: It is impossible to exorcise a ghost because this water has no effect. Of course, you can use it to remove traces left by ghosts.]
The originally ordinary things here seemed to become gradually more affected by the ghosts around them, becoming more strange.
Su Zimo recalled the ghost tools he had just gotten and sorted out the thoughts in his mind. The clues placed in front of him quickly became clear. The clues may only be apparent to those with mysterious glasses, but Su Zimo could quickly put them together.
But⌠so what?
Su Zimo, who was about to turn around and leave, shrugged without feeling any pressure. He just needed more products, not to solve the case. If Su Zimo followed the clues to find the truth, it may lose him more than he would gain.
But not long after Su Zimo walked up the steps, he suddenly heard⌠the sound of nails scratching across a blackboard.
But after turning around, Su Zimo found that it wasnât the large, moveable blackboard in front of hi, but the whiteboard that he had noticed.
If he listened carefully, it wasnât the sound of fingernails, but like something sharp was carving into the whiteboard.
[Do you smell it?]
A strange voice rang out near Su Zimo. He looked at the corner of the lecture hall that was farthest from him, but there was nothing there when the flashlight passed over.
The light of the flashlight returned next to Su Zimo. A dark figure appeared in the blink of an eye, not far in front of him. It was in the first row of the lecture hall!
But the figureâs arms were broken down the middle. The two broken arms were neatly set on the table in front of it, shaking every so often and making it a terrifying sight.
[Do you smell it too?] The figure asked again.
If it was the other trainers, they would have either rushed out or started to do something. They wouldnât stand on the steps like Su Zimo did, asking curiously, âWhat smell?â
The figure seemed stunned, then said: [A very foul smell. Like a very smelly burnt stench. The smell of burning plastic.]
âNo.â Su Zimo sniffed the air around him, but it was only slightly damp air.
[I smell it. Only I smell it. Iâll never forget what I smelled at that time.] The figure seemed very emotional, and then the harsh sound of something sharp across the whiteboard came again.
[Ziâ Ziâ]
Su Zimo turned his head to look at the whiteboard, then was surprised to see that a pair of broken arms appeared out of thin air, holding a marker in front of the whiteboard!
He didnât know if the tip of the marker was broken. When the marker crossed the whiteboard, there was no writing, just harsh noises.
Perhaps it was because of his gaze that Su Zimo drew his attention, but the broken arms suddenly attacked Su Zimo!
Su Zimoâs reaction speed at that moment was several times faster than that of an ordinary person. He didnât wait for the ghost umbrella to help him block. He threw open the pen-shaped baton and swiped the flying arms, directly hitting the pair at the same time. Using the power of the metal pen, he slapped the malicious spiritâs arms and they turned to soot on the floor.
When he looked up again, the black shadow that was sitting in the first row of the lecture hall had disappeared.
Su Zimo looked around and made sure there was nothing else to take from the lecture hall, then turned around, walked out, and shut the door. He had just walked to the stairway next to the door when he saw a somewhat familiar woman there.
âAh!â The other party wore a simple ponytail, no backpack, had an ordinary dagger in one hand, and a useless cell phone in the other. When the other party saw Su Zimo, her face was panicked.
Su Zimo remembered that this was one of the two newcomers in the nightmare world.
There was no light in the halls of the entire teaching building. The flashlight in Su Zimoâs hand was the only light source. It was shining directly on the newcomerâs face, clearly illuminating her panicked expression.
