The golden threads that adorned the clouds gradually faded away, and the starlight of the night stepped onto the misty mountain peaks.
Moonlight spilled over the secluded school.
“What do you think you are! Why don’t you let us out?”
The muscular man grabbed the collar of the smiling tiger, a shiny dagger pressed against the smiling tiger's abdomen, glaring at him fiercely.
The smiling tiger maintained a false smile: “Players are gathering; please wait patiently.”
“What the hell are players?”
He shouted while pretending to stab the smiling tiger with the dagger.
At that moment, a girl’s voice rang out from behind him: “If I were you, I wouldn’t do that.”
The muscular man turned around to see a girl about seventeen or eighteen with short hair, wearing the uniform of Beijiang City Third Middle School. Her gaze held a maturity and coldness beyond her years.
“Why?”
The girl glanced at him and replied, “Angering an NPC won’t end well for you.”
Under the moonlight, the school monument of Ivy League Girls’ School stood tall in the square. To the south was the main building and playground of the girls’ school, not much different from an ordinary high school.
“What did you say?” The muscular man raised an eyebrow.
Just as he was about to interrogate this woman about what she knew, everyone suddenly felt a sharp pain in their heads. A blue light illuminated the area, and a mechanical female voice echoed in everyone's ears.
“Welcome to the God’s Horror Game, Level One Dungeon—Ivy League Girls’ School. Please players do your best to survive until the seventh day!”
There were more than thirty people on the scene, some astonished by the system that appeared before them.
“The Gods’ live broadcast room is starting, and it has automatically connected to the live pool.”
“Please enjoy the game, entertainment is paramount, and increase the Gods’ attention on you~”
The smiling tiger spoke again: “Classmates, welcome back to Ivy League Girls’ School; it’s time for evening self-study.”
“What evening self-study? I’ve graduated! Why would I go to evening self-study? Where is this place? I don’t want to go! I want to go home!”
The bald man appeared flustered and guilty as he shouted that he wanted to leave.
Once one person started, more and more began to scream that they didn’t want to go to school.
After all...
People had been jumping off the building since the very beginning at Ivy League Girls’ School.
All the bodies fell to the ground like garbage, forming a small hill of corpses.
“Tsk, so noisy.”
Suddenly, a deep voice, slightly hoarse from just waking up, rang out.
Though the voice wasn’t loud, it drew everyone’s attention immediately.
This person's tone was so dismissive and impatient that it starkly contrasted with the surrounding panic.
When they finally saw who it was, everyone couldn’t help but gasp.
The man’s face was stunningly beautiful; it was unforgettable after just a glance in the crowd.
Xiao Huai, with a slightly pale face, lazily swept his dark red eyes across the crowd, displaying some impatience from being disturbed.
He stood up from behind the school monument and moved into the center of the crowd.
Clearly, this person had been sitting behind the monument sleeping, and no one had noticed him at all.
The man was tall and had a well-proportioned body, broad shoulders, and a narrow waist. As he walked slowly forward, everyone instinctively looked up at him, holding their breath, eager to hear what he would say next.
After a moment, Xiao Huai looked at the smiling tiger and said, “Teacher, I lost my school uniform; can I have another set of clothes?”
The smiling tiger was taken aback for a moment before responding with a somewhat fake smile.
He slowly said, “What a good child; of course, you can. This is school policy, after all.”
After speaking, a wardrobe filled with JK uniforms appeared out of thin air next to him, the skirts in shades of blue and pink.
Bald man: …
Muscular man: …
All the men present: …
As men! How could they wear women’s clothing?!
Xiao Huai, under the gaze of everyone, unhesitatingly donned a pink JK uniform, slipping it over his pants and casually draping the Ivy League Girls' School jacket over himself.
Afterward, he even yawned.
“??”
Doesn't he have any male dignity!? The muscular man felt his eyes burn at the sight.
A handsome guy over 1.8 meters tall wearing a woman's skirt—what a freak!
“Evening self-study is about to begin; classmates, hurry upstairs! Our Class 44 will definitely achieve the best results in this exam!” The smiling tiger made a victory gesture.
A total of 34 players had gathered this time, with an equal split between males and females.
Since arriving in this world, Xiao Huai had been sleeping.
In his dream, a voice kept emphasizing the need to wear a school uniform, so he casually mentioned it to the smiling tiger.
As for whether it was cross-dressing, he didn’t care, but he had a vague feeling that if he didn’t wear the uniform, something bad might happen.
He didn’t remember why he was here, nor did he have any memories of the past.
Thus, Xiao Huai opened the system interface, fiddling with it to find information about himself.
For now, he only found the live broadcast room and the item backpack somewhat interesting; he memorized the system's built-in rules in less than two minutes.
【Audience in the Gods' Live Broadcast Room: 1】
【Item Backpack: Tear of the Divine】
Tear of the Divine Item Description: Passive Effect—Increases the favorability of non-player characters (NPCs) in the dungeon by 10%. When a character carries the Tear of the Divine, surrounding NPCs will feel an indescribable warmth and care, increasing their favorability toward the holder by 10%, allowing the holder to gain more support and assistance in the dungeon.
Note: Your existence makes the Gods cry, makes the Earth shake for you, and drives all things mad for you. Don’t cry; the crown will fall, and the Gods will feel heartache.
Xiao Huai closed the system interface, shoved his hands into his pockets, and lazily followed behind the smiling tiger.
The two made their way toward the teaching building.
Although the others hadn’t grasped the situation yet, they had all heard the system's female voice just now—it was possible to leave if they survived for seven days.
They could hardly bear this bizarre place any longer.
People had been jumping off the building outside, it was terrifying, so it was better to hurry inside the teaching building to hide.
One by one, they followed behind Xiao Huai, not caring whether he was a cross-dressing freak.
They tried their best not to glance down; thick blood had dyed the ground red, warm blood flowed at the entrance of the teaching building.
The five-story building was brightly lit, and faintly, they could hear students reading.
The bald man closely followed behind Xiao Huai, sweat pouring from his forehead, his lips pale. Upon seeing the female corpses, he shook his head as if convulsing, mumbling to himself.
“It’s not me... it’s not me...”
When they were only five meters from the entrance, the bald man suddenly seemed possessed and shoved past Xiao Huai, rushing inside.
But at that moment, just as his foot hit the ground!
A flash of silver light cut through the air, the sound of flesh being severed reached their ears.
Without anyone reacting, the bald man's upper body and lower body had already separated.
With a “swish,” blood splattered everywhere, intestines fell to the ground.
The bald man didn’t die immediately; he began to scream in agony: “Ah! It hurts! It hurts!”
Of course, this heart-wrenching scream didn’t last long; his head was soon severed.
Silence... utter silence... the kind of quiet where even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.
The killer was right in front of them.
It was none other than the man with a smiling face from the beginning.
He still wore that smile, with crimson blood staining his cheeks, looking sinister like a ghost.
“Oh, I forgot to tell you all, don’t violate school rules~ No loud noise in the hallway.”
笑面虎 (smiling tiger) is a nickname for a character, implying they are charming but potentially dangerous, rather than a real tiger.
