"Bro, you can forget about running away this time. You're going to have to take matters into your own hands." Yan Xiao Ning's voice was lazy, with a hint of schadenfreude.
"Why me?!" I protested quietly, my mind almost breaking down. "Dealing with ghosts should be your specialty, right?"
"I'm not omnipotent," Yan Xiao Ning answered calmly. "Besides, your yang energy is so strong that just standing there could make her dizzy. It would be a shame to miss this opportunity."
"This isn't 'strong,' it's a matter of life and death!" I gritted my teeth and growled, but ultimately didn't dare refuse.
Feng Lan's voice echoed again, "I've finished my story. Now it's your turn to answer my question. I want to know—do campus beauties deserve to die?"
That question was too tricky! Whether I answered "yes" or "no," I might hit a nerve, it was a deadlock. Xiao Xiang beside me was already trembling, clutching my hand tightly as if all her hope rested on me.
At that moment, the "strong girl" suddenly stood up, mustering her courage to shout, "I won't answer the question!" After shouting, she turned and tried to rush for the door.
"Hmph, not so fast!" Feng Lan's voice turned cold.
Bang! There was a loud crash as the "strong girl" collided with the closed door and fell to the ground. She clutched her head and cried, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry… I won't do it again…"
"So pathetic," Yan Xiao Ning chuckled lightly. "But hurry up, this ghost is getting riled up. The longer you take, the more dangerous it becomes."
"How exactly do I do it?" I asked helplessly.
"Use your yang blood and boy's urine," Yan Xiao Ning's voice turned serious. "First, smear your yang blood on the Baihui point on her head, then use your boy's urine to smear her eyes to force her to show her true form."
"What?" I almost jumped up. "My… boy's urine?"
"Obviously, you're still a 'boy,' which is why your yang energy is so strong!" Yan Xiao Ning retorted mercilessly.
Hearing this, my face instantly turned red, and I almost wanted to crawl into a hole. Just then, Feng Lan's voice rang out again: "The first one to answer the question—you, fatso!"
The "strong girl" screamed in fear, her teeth chattering, unable to speak a word.
At that moment, I suddenly noticed that my vision had become clearer—despite the pitch-black classroom, I could clearly see everyone's outlines, like I was using night-vision goggles.
"I've temporarily given you 'night vision,'" Yan Xiao Ning's voice rang out again. "You have five minutes to deal with her, or your vision will return to normal, and she'll kill you."
"Night vision?" I asked quietly, confused. "Is this the Yin-Yang Eye?"
"Don't get your hopes up," Yan Xiao Ning mercilessly shot me down. "Night vision is just the ability to see through the darkness. It's not the Yin-Yang Eye. But eventually, you might get used to seeing ghosts. Good luck."
I instantly felt despair. Was this supposed to solve the problem, or was she just making things worse?
Feng Lan's question still lingered in the air. She stared coldly at Xiao Xiang and said, "You're also a campus beauty. Come on, do you think you deserve to die?"
Xiao Xiang trembled and stood up, her voice full of pleading. "I… I…"
"I'll answer!" I suddenly stood up, interrupting Xiao Xiang.
"Oh?" Feng Lan looked at me with a half-smile. "You want to answer?"
"Of course!" I tried to sound as calm as possible. "Campus beauties are symbols of beauty, the pride of the campus, they obviously don't deserve to die."
"Hmph, such sweet words." Feng Lan's voice deepened. "Since you care so much about campus beauties, let me ask you—are you willing to trade your life for theirs?"
My heart sank. This woman was definitely ruthless!
"Answer her," Yan Xiao Ning urged in my ear. "If you delay, you'll all die."
"I'm willing," I said, gritting my teeth.
"Good!" Feng Lan's eyes suddenly flashed with a green light. Her figure lunged at me with lightning speed, faster than a gust of wind. Before I could react, a cold hand grabbed my throat.
"Now, do it!" Yan Xiao Ning screamed in my mind.
The moment I was grabbed, I felt like I had fallen into an ice cave, and breathing became difficult. But at the last second, I quickly drew the key from my waist, used my nail clippers to cut my finger, and smeared my yang blood onto Feng Lan's forehead!
"Ahhh—" Feng Lan let out a sharp, painful scream and released her grip on my throat. I took the opportunity to raise my left hand and smeared the boy's urine onto her eyes.
Her body trembled violently, then began convulsing. Green light erupted from her eye sockets, and her voice became shrill and piercing, eventually turning into a gust of black smoke that dissipated into the air.
"Well done," Yan Xiao Ning's voice sounded pleased. "Looks like you're not completely useless after all."
I collapsed onto the ground, panting heavily, with only one thought in my mind: I survived.
