There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

Seven to eight hours later.

Although Chen Yi and his companions' injuries had not fully healed, they no longer significantly impeded their movements. After a brief preparation, they sat on a sled and shot toward the nearest ruin.

Fortunately, this time the map had no time limit.

If there had been a time limit while still bearing such severe injuries, without time to recover, the danger would have increased significantly. Even so, they felt the danger brought by the B-level map.

To be precise... it was Tuberculosis Rabbit who experienced the crisis brought by the B-level map.

A brush with death.

After the cigarette in Tuberculosis Rabbit's mouth burned to the end, they safely arrived at Ruin No. 2.

"Ruin No. 2, an abandoned school."

"As you can see, this is a long-abandoned school. Rumor has it that at the dead of night, there appear to be some unusual entities."

"Anything that appears will not harm you, at least not physically."

"You need to follow the guide and walk through every specific corner of the school--classrooms, playgrounds, bathrooms, etc."

"Clearance condition: psychological fluctuation peak below 30%."

This was the largest ruin they had come across.

The area it covered... was vast.

What met their eyes was a somewhat dilapidated school gate, with the guardroom at the entrance long deserted, clearly having been unattended for a while. Beyond the gate was a playground meant for students to run on.

Behind it stood a four-story teaching building.

Each floor could accommodate about six classrooms.

Beyond this, there were no other main buildings, no staff buildings, no dormitories--it looked like a rather rudimentary school.

"This ruin is simple."

With his hands in his pockets, Tuberculosis Rabbit stood at the entrance of the campus and laughed, "It seems to be a paranormal type of ruin. Once we enter the map, something should come to scare us. As long as the psychological fluctuation peak is below 30%, we'll pass successfully."

"I hope the subsequent ruins will be as simple as this one."

"..."

Sword Without End felt a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth and said nothing. Somehow, he felt this map had some hostility toward him. Although he had managed to get through the May rule of not thinking about ghosts,

that didn't mean he wasn't afraid of this.

It was just forcibly suppressing his own thoughts.

He actually found it difficult to ensure that his psychological fluctuation peak would be below 30%, especially since there was no concrete concept of what 30% was. Who knew how scared one would have to be to reach 30%?

"Let's go inside."

Chen Yi, limping with a cane in one hand, walked ahead, crossing the guardroom to enter the school.

The guardroom had been abandoned, the gate left completely open as if inviting everyone to enter.

The sky was the same as when they entered the map.

It was predominantly dark.

But not pitch-black.

There was still some light.

The sky of this map seemed to be fixed, or at least it hadn't changed for now. From time to time, a gust of wind would lift sand into their eyes, which was quite annoying.

The campus was spacious and eerily quiet.

Chen Yi didn't head straight to the teaching building, instead walking toward the playground first, planning to circle it. For him, this ruin was like a fighter jet pilot going on a roller coaster ride.

It wasn't just pressure. It was a total dimensionality reduction attack.

After circling the playground without finding anything noteworthy, they headed straight for the teaching building.

"The scenery isn't bad."

Tuberculosis Rabbit, with his arm resting on the balcony of the fourth-floor corridor, looked down at the schoolyard, appreciated the view for a while, and then casually entered the first classroom on the fourth floor, ready to check each classroom one by one.

Chen Yi and Sword Without End followed behind Tuberculosis Rabbit.

"Huh?"

This classroom was much brighter than the outside world. Three huge light bulbs illuminated the entire classroom extremely brightly, the only one in the entire teaching building with the lights on.

"Cough."

Feeling a sense of foreboding, Sword Without End coughed lightly and, subconsciously, moved closer to Chen Yi. If it weren't a bit embarrassing, he would have liked to grab the hem of Chen Yi's clothes.

Based on his years of experience watching horror films, something was about to happen right here.

The brighter the place, the more troublesome it would be.

Tuberculosis Rabbit searched the classroom but found nothing scary, shaking his head in some disappointment. If he had designed this map, it would have been much more interesting.

As he prepared to leave the classroom, he turned off the lights on his way out.

"Don't you know about saving electricity?"

However, upon casually glancing back, Tuberculosis Rabbit looked toward the depths of the classroom with a somewhat strange expression.

In the dim classroom, a disheveled and blurred figure stood silently there.

"Huh?"

Curious, Tuberculosis Rabbit turned the lights back on. Once the brightness filled the room again, the shadowy figure at the back of the classroom disappeared.

He somewhat defiantly turned off the lights again.

The blurred figure re-emerged in the depths of the classroom, only now it seemed to be slightly closer to them.

"..."

Sword Without End felt a twitch at the corner of his mouth before suggesting, "I think we can leave now. We've already checked this room, no need to look for trouble, right?"

"No way."

Tuberculosis Rabbit shook his head seriously, "After passing all seven ruins, you get a unique special reward, and the level and contents of the reward are determined by our performance in these ruins."

"Obviously, we can't just pass through simply; we have to trigger as many things in this map as possible to get a high perfect score."

"Besides, these ghostly things can't hurt you, so what are you afraid of?"

"You make sense."

Sword Without End nodded silently in agreement, not refuting anymore. However, he couldn't help but take a step back to stand behind Chen Yi and Tuberculosis Rabbit. Only then did he feel a sense of safety again as he peered through the gap between the two at the vague figure in the depths of the classroom.

Seemingly interested, Tuberculosis Rabbit turned the lights on again.

The figure disappeared.

Upon turning off the light again, the figure had come another step closer, now less than six meters away.

"Heh."

With a grin, Tuberculosis Rabbit looked toward the blurred figure in the depths of the classroom and flipped the light switch on and off again.

"Ah!"

However, at that moment—

The figure, which had been at the back of the classroom, zoomed towards them like a shadow, screaming with a pale face and bloodshot eyes, "Ahh!!!"

The piercing scream echoed throughout the classroom and lingered above the whole school.

But the next second, the scream of the female ghost came to an abrupt halt.

"Don't you know how to play?"

With a swift movement of his right hand, Tuberculosis Rabbit grabbed the neck of the female ghost in front of him and spoke discontentedly, "According to the procedure, we need to turn off the lights a few more times before you can rush out to scare us."

"Don't you know how to play?"

"This was only a few times, and you're already jumping out from so far away. Who are you trying to scare?"

Then he stared at the female ghost in his hand, suddenly lifted her long sideburns, and twisted her chin, examining her curiously, "You've got quite a fair and delicate look."

Glancing down at the female ghost's white robe, he shook it off casually as if shaking off chicks, stripping the clothing from her body.

"Hey, not a bad figure either."

"Are you really a ghost woman? Or are you a masseuse from Lin Yin Foot Bath Shop?"

They had once stumbled into a special event, which was the Lin Yin Foot Bath Shop where they were forced to get a massage for an hour.

The memory was still fresh.

"That..."

Sword Without End glanced over unintentionally before saying, "Tuberculosis Rabbit, she's a ghost woman. Look how pale the corpse has gotten; you're not planning on doing that sort of thing, are you?"

"I think a person can be perverted, but there should be a limit to how perverted. If you really intend to do that, I will despise you."

"Unless you bring me one."

"I'm planning to dissect her. I've always dissected dead people, but I've never dissected a female ghost."

"Let's see what's the difference between a female ghost and a dead person."

"But... but the content of Ruin No. 2 says that the female ghosts in this school can't harm us."

"Hm, but it doesn't say we can't harm them."
