Scenes flickered before Jiang Lin, then vanished.
They seemed to be without pattern, nor in chronological order.
The last scene was Wang Mu at home, seeing off the ghost messengers who regularly came to inquire about his situation.
"It's fine, don't worry."
He suppressed the backlash within his body, concealing his condition.
After the ghost messenger left, his back was already drenched in sweat.
"No, wait a little longer, just a little longer," he murmured.
Soon.
Very soon.
The college entrance examination was drawing near.
He couldn't falter now.
He hadn't yet sent those children into the examination hall, hadn't yet guided them into university.
At least, before the college entrance examination...
Wang Mu slowly shuffled and sat down in his chair.
"Give me a little more time... When the time comes, I will report myself and explain my situation."
...
The scenes gradually faded.
Jiang Lin also exited the ghost realm.
Though many scenes had appeared, they had actually only lasted for a moment.
Jiang Lin looked towards the campus.
In those scenes, he had also seen Han Sisi.
The girl who walked on money in the ghost realm.
The girl in reality who was striving to bear the entire family's burden, wanting to drop out of school to work, Han Sisi, who was not yet eighteen.
"..."
The viewers in the live stream also fell into a rare silence, quietly watching the screen.
As they watched, their vision blurred.
Teachers...
They had always wondered what kind of ghost would create such a ghost realm.
Inside, it was either examinations or classes.
And they only recruited underachievers, who then had to become top students upon exiting.
These rules were too perverse. Was it a demon?
So, it was like this.
Although they didn't know exactly what had happened,
They seemed to have a general understanding of why this ghost realm had appeared.
Study hard and progress every day.
But in reality, they couldn't always study with single-minded focus.
The thoughts of young people were always occupied by other things.
Sensitive minds, changes at home, rebellious behavior...
When things happened, not everyone was lucky enough to receive a sheltering umbrella.
To shield them from the bad things.
'Who will help me—'
Sometimes, they would also cry out silently.
Because no one heard, their cries became silent.
Who will save us—
Their wings were still very fragile.
They were not yet strong enough to face thunderstorms alone.
In front of the screen,
Someone took off their glasses and rubbed their eyes.
Others directly lay their heads on their desks, or crouched down, burying their heads in their knees.
Their shoulders trembled uncontrollably.
Among these people, some were still young, under eighteen, while others had entered the workforce and were already living independently.
But, whether in the present or the past...
Some experiences, some memories, could never be erased.
They were deeply embedded in their minds.
"My dad was always abusive, so I always had injuries... Many people at school spread rumors about me..."
"I want to make friends, I want to go to school properly every day, I don't want this..."
In the bullet comments, viewers gradually began to reveal their own situations.
Was it a desire to confide, or to seek help?
They didn't know either.
"Qin Yang City Feishui School, Grade 7 * Class, there is violence here, who can go and help her, I am too weak," unable to do anything...
"I made mistakes in the past too, and only then did I realize that many things are irreparable."
"We're out of money, my mother has cancer, my dad has to work before dawn every day to earn money for medical expenses, I, I..."
I also want to help, but I'm too young.
What can I do for this family, for my mother...
Streamer, are there any ways, even if it's with my lifespan...
...
In this live stream.
This live stream watched by thousands, by people of all powers and wealth.
At this moment,
Many problems that existed in life, that people dared not speak of, that they couldn't confide,
Were all revealed by the viewers.
It also allowed many people to see the various problems they usually overlooked.
...
"Perhaps his original intention was good, but after it became like this, it also became bad."
Jiang Lin stood at the entrance of the ghost realm and murmured.
Perhaps Wang Mu didn't intend to harm those students at first.
But after becoming a ghost realm, everything became uncontrollable.
However...
Jiang Lin glanced at the bullet comments in the live stream.
However, the things Wang Mu wanted to continue doing but didn't have time to complete.
Perhaps someone would take over and help him continue.
Sometimes Jiang Lin would also think,
Does the existence of the live stream system, while promoting the culture of the underworld, also aim to change some aspects of the human world?
However, these were just his thoughts, and the system wouldn't answer him.
"The obsession is understood, which will make it easier to break."
Jiang Lin withdrew his gaze and walked towards the ghost realm.
If the ghost realm wasn't ended soon, it would continue to expand, drawing in more students.
...
"Oh no, run!"
"Don't come near me, I'm scared, alright!"
When Jiang Lin re-entered the ghost realm and found Xin Ya and the others, he saw such a scene.
Xin Ya and the scholar ghost messenger stood calmly under the eaves, while the burly ghost messenger and the six students were running around frantically.
Pages of exercises and test papers chased them from behind.
As Jiang Lin approached, a student tripped over his own feet.
A page of exercises immediately pounced, sticking to his back.
"No—!"
The student cried out, but it was too late.
The next second,
That page of exercises transformed into a "Five Years of College Entrance Examination, Three Years of Simulation" for mathematics.
Then Jiang Lin saw the student, crying, quickly get up and enter the answering mode.
Answering questions while crying.
Crying and hiccuping:
"I don't know! Hiccup~! There are so many questions, sob... Hiccup~"
"..."
Jiang Lin looked at the thickness of that "Five Three" (a common nickname for the exam prep book) and estimated that it couldn't be finished anytime soon.
Beside him,
Seeing that someone had fallen into the trap, the other five students immediately ran even faster.
"The horse gallops like a Lu, the bow is like thunder, Xin Qiji!"
"Acceleration..."
The power of knowledge was utilized to its extreme at this moment.
Behind them, pages of exercises and test papers flew and chased.
Anyone caught would be forced into answering mode.
Jiang Lin came to Xin Ya's side and also did not intervene, asking:
"What rule is this now?"
...
(ps: The answering mode for "Five Three" is from the book friend 'Wu Feng Geng Wu Yu'~❤
This ghost realm is about to end~)
