Forbidden Zone of Deception

Chapter 50 Rules of Conduct for Faculty and Staff of No. 7 Middle School

At this moment, Liu Yan was filled with regret: "If only we hadn't set up matching profile pictures!"

Both Jiang Jin and Liu Yan's WeChat profile pictures were photos of the two of them together, some even taken on the same day. Furthermore, Jin Lanlan's contact name for Jiang Jin was "Liu Yan's boyfriend," which explains why the wrong message was sent during the search.

"What's the secret behind that photo?" Jiang Jin immediately pressed. "Could that rusty metal be an ominous sign?"

Ominous objects refer to cursed objects contaminated by memes. People who come into contact with such objects are easily contaminated by memes and become reincarnated beings.

“I’m sorry, I can’t say. And… Lanlan is probably already dead.” Then she added, “I can’t tell you what the rusty metal in that photo represents, but I can tell you, Jiang Jin, that’s why I became a sorcerer.”

Yes, Jiang Jin remembered that the profession of witchcraft requires special conditions to be activated, so it is not an option for ordinary people.

Could the rusty metal in the photo be the activation condition? But that doesn't make sense. Jiang Jin remembers that when he checked the professions in the elevator, he couldn't choose the Witchcraft profession.

"Can't you tell me if it's due to system limitations, a curse, or... because saying it will further trigger my SAN value's downward potential?"

"The third one. Because I have become a sorcerer, I can currently stabilize my SAN value. Even so, I still paid a considerable price."

At this point, Liu Yan couldn't help but recall the horrifying scene she had witnessed...

"In short, I can only tell you what happened to me and why I entered this hidden instance once you reach at least LV3. If I tell you now, your SAN value will plummet, and you might end up in the Lost Layer or even fall into the Oblivion Layer."

"Okay...I believe you."

Then, Liu Yan brushed aside her bangs and said, "What's your profession? No, wait a minute... let me guess... you're a hunter, right?"

Liu Yan shouldn't be able to see the Death Knell at Jiang Jin's feet; only hunter reincarnators can see the undead hounds when their SAN value is above 60%. This means she really guessed it.

"As expected, you understand me best."

Liu Yan glanced at the gatehouse again and said, "I have to go now, it's almost time for class. Tell me what task you received, and I'll come find you after class! Take a look at this first; it's for internal circulation among faculty and staff and can't be shown to students. Also, there's a bulletin board on the southwest side of the playground with a student code of conduct; go take a look at it later!"

She took an A4 sheet of paper out of her bag and handed it to Jiang Jin.

There were so many things we wanted to say to each other, but the time was too short.

"The mission I received is called 'Ghost Eye Yang Jian's Wish,' which is to prevent the curse in this school from developing into a calamity that will sweep across the entire Dachang City!"

"Ghost Eye Yang Jian? Is that him?" Liu Yan nodded and said, "My mission is similar to yours, which is good. We won't be on opposing sides. I'm a Chinese teacher at this school now. I'll go to class first, and we'll meet here again after the first class!"

"Okay!" Jiang Jin saw Liu Yan out and watched her run towards the teaching building before returning to the guard room and picking up the paper.

It says:

[Work Rules for Faculty and Staff of Dachang No. 7 Middle School]

Welcome to Dachang No. 7 Middle School! Our school boasts a strong faculty and a beautiful environment, and has been repeatedly recognized as a provincial-level model school. Please note that the following "Staff Code of Conduct" is formulated to ensure your safety; please be sure to abide by it. Those who violate the rules will bear the consequences themselves.

This code of conduct is for internal circulation among faculty and staff only and must not be posted in places where students may see it.

1. All faculty and staff must arrive at school before 6:30 AM daily. School ends at 16:30 PM. Please ensure students leave school within 15 minutes of dismissal. Students remaining on campus must gather at the library (wearing school badges). All doors and windows must be closed and curtains drawn after 16:30 PM daily. If you notice flickering lights in the hallway, immediately guide students to the nearest classroom and lock the door. Until the lights are restored to a stable state, do not allow students to leave the locked classroom, regardless of what you see.

2. If teachers see clear liquid seeping through the paper while grading assignments, they should immediately stop grading, mark the page with a "Δ" and place it in the red recycling bin. This recycling bin should be returned to the academic affairs office weekly; no one may remove the contents of the bin without authorization.

3. It is strictly forbidden to tutor or punish students by keeping them at school until 16:45 PM, even if the other party claims that "the parents are waiting at the classroom door".

4. An announcement will be played after the last class. Normally, the announcement will begin with the school song "Radiance". If you hear an audio recording that sounds like a baby crying, all students should lie down and close their eyes until the announcement is resumed.

4. If you find bluish-black handprints and grayish-white lividity on a student's skin, avoid talking to them, keep a distance of more than 3 meters, press the red alarm in the corridor, and then immediately report to the Academic Affairs Office.

5. If a student is found repeatedly drawing the same picture (depicting a strangely shaped child or infant), they must be taken to the school clinic for an injection of a blue substance. If a teacher experiences pregnancy symptoms (regardless of gender) without having had sexual intercourse, they should not go to the hospital but immediately go to the school clinic for an injection of a red substance.

6. After students have gone to bed, dormitory supervisors are not allowed to knock on the door more than once during nighttime room checks. Anyone who knocks repeatedly is not human.

7. When security patrols, if you see a crawling baby under the flagpole (especially at night), please immediately go to the locust tree in the southeast corner of the playground and look for a red flashlight. Check if it is on. If it is, turn it off immediately, but do not take the flashlight away.

8. If the security guard sees a snow-like pattern on the monitoring room screen, he should first check the screen in the corridor on the 5th floor of the teaching building. If a figure resembling a child is seen walking in the screen, immediately press the emergency button (yellow).

9. In case of a power outage, all personnel should immediately proceed to the playground for assembly. During the power outage, use the green glow sticks provided by the Academic Affairs Office for illumination; do not turn on your mobile phone screen. When taking roll call, listen for any extra responses. If you hear any, immediately wave your green glow stick towards the direction of the sound.

10. If a student reports seeing a small, childlike figure behind them in a mirror, please seal the mirror immediately. If the mirror is in a restroom, immediately close the restroom, hang a "Equipment Under Maintenance" sign, and report it to the Academic Affairs Office.

11. If a student is clearly absent without submitting a leave slip, but claims to have been present at school with perfect attendance, please do not engage in further conversation with them and contact the Academic Affairs Office. However, afterward, do not respond to calls from the Academic Affairs Office at midnight (Academic Affairs Office phone number: xxx-xxxxxxxx).

12. If a student goes to the infirmary to get a red injection after seeing a so-called transfer student, never mention the transfer student to him again. He will gradually forget everything he saw.

　Happy Dragon Boat Festival to everyone!
