Chapter 87 The Curse Ends (Please Subscribe!)
Article 12 of the Staff Code states: If a student goes to the infirmary to receive 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.

Jiang Jin revised it to: If any student didn't go to the infirmary to get a red injection because they saw a so-called transfer student, then if they brought up the transfer student in front of him again later, he would tell the gatekeeper everything he had seen.

A total of 8 characters were modified, each character accounting for 4% of the SAN value. Fortunately, Jiang Jin had enough meat in reserve.

Through Liu Yan's Gu worm surveillance, Jiang Jin could confirm that no students had recently gone to the infirmary to receive the red potion, so Jiang Jin had no choice but to modify the rules in this way.

"He will tell you," which makes this a product of the rule mechanism in operation, rather than a rule that the other party can subjectively choose whether to abide by. That's why Jiang Jin learned the information from the student.

“I found a lot of English in the shop owner’s bookkeeping notes,” the student said. “I found it quite strange that a shop owner would write in English. So I asked him, and he said that he had transferred to No. 7 Middle School when he was a student.”

So, Jiang Jin, wearing the [Invisible Ghost Ring] that Deathstroke had brought him, happened to walk into the convenience store with some students buying instant noodles. Activating this ghost ring only required 3% SAN value, which was quite cheap.

Then he said he wanted to buy cigarettes, and sure enough, the shop owner and his wife didn't react at all!

He spoke very loudly, of course, and was still speaking close to the counter.

At this moment, Deathstroke also enters the state of "Awakening of the Dead," and after careful investigation, it is even more certain that there is no injustice.

Even so, it couldn't be confirmed that the other party was the Source Ghost, which is why Jiang Jin used the Mourning Cry!
But at that moment, the coffin nails missed their target!
On the ground, the shop owner's figure disappeared, and Jiang Jin could finally see a scar on the web of his right hand!
……

Yang Jian stood on the roof of the teaching building, his Ghost Eyes wide open, overlooking the entire campus.

The ghost's eyes shifted slightly, its gaze piercing through the wall to the distant convenience store.

However, his ghostly domain could not penetrate the convenience store!

The convenience store is the core of the Seventh Ghost Realm!
"I see." Yang Jian muttered to himself, "Zhou Zheng was influenced by the ghost infant's will, which is why he came to our No. 7 Middle School and to our classroom!"

The baby's cries on the radio grew louder and louder, and the peak of the supernatural tide descended!
The blackboard of the abandoned senior high school classroom (7) is covered with a large number of blackboard newspaper images: Li Lei and Han Meimei talking in the classroom, playing basketball on the playground, and reading books in the library!
Then English corners also began to appear:
After graduation, Li Lei and Han Meimei will go to J-city University. They will get married. Their child will be named Li Hua…

The handwriting suddenly becomes chaotic here, the following content is roughly crossed out, and replaced by large, bright red characters:

"LIE! ALL LIE! Li Lei failed the exam! Han Meimei and Li Hua died! The flagpole fell! Everyone died!"

In the image, a boy lies dead at the foot of a flagpole, next to a heavily pregnant girl, with a baby-shaped shadow lying at their feet.

Suddenly, the school building of No. 7 Middle School was shrouded in an eerie red light, and every window reflected the same scene: a boy standing in front of the blackboard, drawing a comic strip with chalk. The scene progressed continuously, from Li Lei and Han Meimei's first meeting, to their falling in love, to... the moment the flagpole collapsed.

At that moment, the flagpole beside the flagpole groaned under the strain, followed by a deafening snapping sound. Yang Jian saw the rusty flagpole slowly tilting and falling towards the teaching building!

The rusted metal surface was covered with a dense array of English words, all repeated with "Li Lei," "Han Meimei," and "Li Hua." Cracks appeared in the concrete at the base of the flagpole, seeping out a dark red liquid.

Yang Jian's ghost domain instantly unfolded, and he saw countless gray-white umbilical cords extending from the blackboard, connecting every student in the school!
All those umbilical cords eventually converged at the convenience store and disappeared into the proprietress's swollen belly!

Yang Jian's ghost eye on his forehead fully opened, and the red light from the three layers of ghostly domains enveloped his entire body as if it were a tangible substance. He had to find a way to break this barrier as soon as possible!

When Liu Yan arrived at the convenience store, it was already shrouded in an invisible barrier.

She tried to push the door open, but her hand was repelled by some force. Through the glass window, she saw Jiang Jin confronting the landlady; their figures appeared particularly distorted in the dim light.

"Damn it!" Liu Yan gritted her teeth, and a swarm of black insects immediately surged out from behind her, rushing towards the doors and windows of the convenience store.

However, the gray nematodes burst open as soon as they touched the glass, splashing large amounts of body fluid onto the window frame and making a "sizzling" corrosive sound.

Just then, a scarlet light shone from behind her.

Yang Jian stood in the center of the playground, his ghost eyes on his forehead and hands opening simultaneously. The red light of the three layers of ghost domain spread like a tide, and wherever it passed, space began to distort and collapse.

The first layer of ghostly energy shrouds the teaching building; the second layer covers the playground; the third layer—

"boom!"

A crack was forcibly torn open in the wall of the convenience store. Yang Jian's figure flashed in the red light, barely squeezing into this cursed space.

At this moment, Yang Jian discovered that there was still a student inside who was terrified, so he used the Ghost Domain to send him out first.

After seeing him out, there was no one else in the convenience store except for Jiang Jin and Yang Jian.

The goods on the shelves were neatly arranged, and a thin layer of dust covered the checkout counter, as if no one had been here for a long time.

“She’s here,” Jiang Jin whispered, “but we can’t see her.”

He instructed Deathstroke not to act unless attacked, as the Source Demon was far beyond Deathstroke's capabilities.

Yang Jian stood beside him, the ghost eye on his forehead slowly opening, its scarlet pupils scanning the small space. Within the vision of the triple ghost domain, he could see sticky water stains remaining on the ground, as if something had been dragged across them.

"The clear liquid on the notebook," Jiang Jin said, "was amniotic fluid!"

Then, Jiang Jin handed the coffin nails to Yang Jian: "You do it. Your Ghost Domain can predict her trajectory."

Yang Jie passed the nail and felt a chilling coldness emanating from his palm.

"So it was on you."

“She’s here,” Yang Jian suddenly said.

The temperature inside the convenience store suddenly dropped.

The goods on the shelf began to tremble slightly, and a box of chalk fell to the ground with a "thud," shattering into powder. Yang Jian's ghostly eyes locked onto the rising dust—a blurry human figure emerged from the dust, but vanished in an instant. "She's testing us," Jiang Jin said slowly, backing against the wall. "Don't give her a chance to ambush us."

Suddenly, Jiang Jin felt a chill on his neck—it felt like someone had breathed on it. He turned around abruptly, but saw nothing.

"Yang Jian!" Jiang Jin gritted his teeth, "She's behind me!"

Yang Jian's ghostly domain instantly contracted, and the red light sliced ​​through the space behind Jiang Jin like a blade. A sharp screech echoed in the air, and glass bottles on the shelf shattered one after another.

But the proprietress still did not show up.

“She only materializes at the moment of attack,” Yang Jian whispered, “and the duration is no more than 0.5 seconds.”

Jiang Jin raised the Mourning Cry aloft: "Then let her attack."

He deliberately created an opening, turning to walk towards the cashier, completely exposing his back. Yang Jian stood in the corner, the coffin nail in his hand poised to strike, his Ghost Eyes locking onto every inch of air around Jiang Jin.

Three seconds, five seconds, ten seconds.

Suddenly, the air behind Jiang Jin distorted slightly—

"Now!"

Yang Jian unleashed his full power from his Ghost Domain, and the coffin nails transformed into a beam of azure light that shot out!
The moment the nail tip pierced the air, the entire space of the convenience store suddenly froze. The dust floating on the shelves remained suspended in mid-air, and the shards of broken glass retained their splattered shapes.

Under the extreme compression of the triple ghost realm, time seemed to be paused!
Yang Jian's ghost eyes saw that around the proprietress's disappearing form, countless transparent umbilical cords were wrapped around her—her last connection with this space.

"puff!"

With a soft thud, the coffin nail pierced the outermost eerie barrier. Sparks flew from the nail's tip, and the proprietress's blurry figure trembled violently. The transparent umbilical cords began to snap one by one, and with each snap, an item on the shelf suddenly decayed.

"Click——"

With a second sharp crack, the nail pierced the second layer of defense. Cracks began to appear on the landlady's abdomen, from which came the heart-wrenching cries of a newborn baby.

Jiang Jin suddenly groaned and knelt on one knee. Five scratches had appeared on his arm, and tiny pieces of chalk were embedded in the wounds.

He understands now, grayish-white... that's chalk!

"She's resisting!" Jiang Jin gritted his teeth. "These chalk pieces are drilling into my flesh!"

Blood seeped from the ghost eye on Yang Jian's forehead, and the triple ghost domain overlapped once more. This time, the red light of the ghost domain focused on the trajectory of the coffin nails. Under the gaze of these eyes, the proprietress's figure could no longer be completely hidden, and the terrifying bulge in her abdomen was clearly visible.

"Now!" Yang Jian shouted.

The runes on the coffin nails suddenly lit up to their maximum brightness, and the nail tips pierced precisely into the landlady's navel—

This is the weakness!
"Pfft!"

A large amount of amniotic fluid gushed out, and the liquid transformed into tiny English letters in mid-air, all of which were repetitions of "LiLei" and "HanMeimei".

The proprietress let out a scream that sounded inhuman, gripping the nail tightly with both hands, her fingernails scraping against the metal surface with a piercing sound.

The nail began to vibrate violently, and small hand shapes bulged out under the skin of the proprietress's abdomen!
The little hands pushed and shoved desperately, trying to push the nails out. The whole shop shook, and the sound of shelves collapsing echoed everywhere.

Yang Jian's ghostly eyes suddenly throbbed with pain—he saw the ghostly infant in the landlady's womb undergoing a terrifying transformation. The previously separate fetal outlines were merging, gradually forming a complete infant shape!
"Quick!" Yang Jian shouted to Jiang Jin, "Hold down the nail! It's coming out!"

Jiang Jin lunged forward, pressing his hands firmly against the ends of the coffin nails. The vibrations from the nails nearly shattered his wrists, but he gritted his teeth and refused to let go. The landlady's abdominal skin was stretched transparent, and the resentful eyes of the infant inside were vaguely visible!

With each inch the coffin nails pierced deeper, the baby in the proprietress's womb let out a piercing scream. The transparent umbilical cords all snapped, and large patches of plaster began to peel off the walls of the convenience store, revealing the blood-red flesh beneath.

"End it!"

Yang Jian whispered, pouring all the power of the three ghost domains into the coffin nails.

"laugh--"

The nail finally sank completely into the proprietress's abdomen, pinning her firmly in place!

Yang Jian never expected that he would meet Han Meimei from the English textbook in this way.

Her body began to deteriorate rapidly, her skin cracking inch by inch, revealing a dense network of English letters underneath.

Her body completely dissipated, leaving only the coffin nail suspended in mid-air, its tip still mixed with grayish-white chalk dust. The entire convenience store began to collapse; the shelves, merchandise, and walls were rapidly decaying.

With the proprietress sealed away, the entire convenience store began to collapse.

Yang Jian grabbed Jiang Jin's shoulder: "Let's go!"

The moment the two rushed out of the convenience store, they heard a deafening crash behind them. When the dust settled, only an empty space remained, along with the coffin nail stuck in the ground.

At this moment, Li Hua's figure upstairs gradually became transparent, eventually turning into a sky full of gray-white dust and dissipating.

The curse of No. 7 Middle School has finally come to an end.
