Infinite Flow: Becoming a God in a Nightmare Game

Jiang Qi slowly exhaled. It was not advisable to linger here, so the exploration of the fifth floor had to be put on hold for the time being.

"Let's leave here first, go back to the dormitory to rest, and come back next time."

"Okay brother."

Jiang Qi locked the teaching building door again and left with Lu Zhi. They did not encounter any other ghosts or monsters on their way back to the dormitory.

The dormitory supervisor was still sleeping peacefully in her room when Jiang Qi and Lu Zhi quietly entered the dormitory.

Jiang Qi noticed that it was already past midnight, so he told Lu Zhi to go to bed with him and get some rest so they could look for clues together the next day.

The nights are never peaceful. Jiang Qi had a bizarre dream, but from a third-person perspective. The protagonist was Xiao Zhi, a female student he met in the teaching building.

In fact, so many memories rushed in back then that Jiang Qi hadn't had time to sort them out, but now, in his dream, everything was laid bare.

Just as Jiang Qi guessed, Xiao Zhi wasn't being spied on; she was bullying a girl every day. From her, he learned that the girl's name was Chu Qidie.

After witnessing Chu Qidie's death, she felt uneasy and was always nervous, feeling that someone was spying on her from the shadows and wanted to kill her.

One day, Xiaozhi finally broke down. She gouged out her eyes in the toilet and laughed hysterically, as if she had finally felt relieved.

Jiang Qi finally sorted everything out in his sleep and fell into a deep sleep, but this time he didn't dream anymore.

The first rays of sunlight pierced the darkness, ushering in a new day.

Jiang Qi opened his eyes and found that it was already bright outside, and at that moment the school's loudspeaker came on.

Students are requested to arrive at the school auditorium at 7:30 AM for the awards ceremony.

At the same time, a system voice announced, "[Congratulations to player Jiang Qi for discovering the third mystery, "The Eye," with an exploration rate of 100%. Reward points: 150]"

[Congratulations to the player for defeating the third boss in the Ghost Stories series, earning 200 points]

[Friendly reminder: Since you have already defeated two bosses from the ghost stories, all the ghosts in this instance now have increased aggro towards you. Please try your best to survive.]

All the players inside the instance and those watching the live stream outside were shocked, never expecting that this newbie's speed in exploring the instance would be so terrifying.

Xiao Kai was particularly shocked when he heard the news, and he was furious in the dormitory, while Bai Xiaoyu next to him was thinking about something with his head down.

Some players felt that they could leave the instance simply by following him, especially the only two female characters in the instance.

Hearing the broadcast, Lin Wanchu became even more certain of their determination to follow Jiang Qi. Perhaps they could use the clues they had obtained to discuss things with him, or if that didn't work, they wouldn't pester him.

All the players arrived at the school auditorium on time and found their seats. Jiang Qi and Lu Zhi happened to be sitting in the middle, near the front.

It's a great place to observe the people on the platform, but it's not an easy place to escape if you encounter danger. Is this the malice of the ghosts and monsters in the dungeon?

The other players were either assigned to the first row or the back rows, and they were all sitting scattered around. It's unclear whether this commendation ceremony was dangerous, but given the nature of the dungeon, it's highly likely to be.

Jiang Qi, on the other hand, adopted the attitude of "since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it," and sat in his chair carefully observing the expressions of each person who came.

A few students were occasionally sullen, but most were very happy.

Because today I don't have to get up early like usual, and I don't have to face boring teachers and classes.

You can't slack off in class, but you can slack off at an awards ceremony.

The student handbook also states that the school holds an awards ceremony every Tuesday morning, which other players may not know, but Jiang Qi does.

After all, Jiang Qi isn't a saint, so there's no need for him to tell them all the clues he's obtained. Besides, there's the school's broadcast reminder, so he won't be in danger because of being late or absent.

Today is the third day of the dungeon, and we have found three ghost stories, but the first one has not yet reached 100% exploration.

However, the exploration progress of the other two ghost stories quickly reached 100%. So, is there anything special about Ghost Story 1?

Jiang Qi stopped thinking about it, because the commendation ceremony had already begun.

The first student to step forward was a student representative wearing a white shirt. He held a speech and spoke with a strong and passionate voice, but it was just a typical motivational speech for students, like most schools do.

Jiang Qi didn't listen to his speech carefully; he just observed the student representative intently, and there was nothing suspicious about him.

After the student representative finished speaking, the next person to take the stage was the Dean of Students, who was surprisingly wearing a black shirt.

Jiang Qi was taken aback. The dean of students at the commendation ceremony was wearing a black shirt. What about the teachers and the principal? Were they all wearing black shirts?

The student handbook only reminded Jiang Qi and his classmates not to pay attention to or greet anyone wearing a black shirt, but is that all the precautions there?

Jiang Qi wasn't sure, but the more he thought about it, the more serious his expression became.

Jiang Qi glanced at the expressions of the students around him and found that they were all in high spirits and waiting earnestly for the dean of students to speak.

This included several players. Jiang Qi then turned his gaze to the head of the teaching department, who seemed to have noticed his gaze and returned his smile.

Jiang Qi got goosebumps from that laugh and lowered his head to look away.

Out of the corner of his eye, Jiang Qi caught sight of Lu Zhi, who tilted his head in confusion upon feeling Jiang Qi's gaze.

Jiang Qi thought that Lu Zhi hadn't noticed anything amiss, so he lowered his head to talk to Lu Zhi. But before Jiang Qi could speak, Lu Zhi rubbed his hand against his head.

The soft texture under his hands made Jiang Qi feel a ticklish sensation.

Lu Zhi rested his chin on Jiang Qi's palm again, silently saying, "Brother, don't worry, I know he has a problem."

Jiang Qi felt a sense of relief for no apparent reason, though he didn't know where this feeling came from.

The head of the teaching department tapped the microphone and began his speech. Jiang Qi tried his best not to listen to what he was saying, but the head of the teaching department's voice was everywhere.

Jiang Qi knew that his willpower was strong enough, and he struggled internally to avoid falling into the trap of the headmaster's words.

Just as Jiang Qi's consciousness began to fade, the head of the teaching department on the stage smiled smugly and continued his speech.

As the Dean of Students finished speaking, all the students in the school auditorium, including the players, had dazed looks in their eyes. Some smiled, while others looked sad. Clearly, they had entered the dream woven by the Dean of Students.

The head of the teaching department looked at the audience and burst into laughter.

Countless black images materialized behind him, stretching out like spider legs, searching for the first lamb to be slaughtered.
