I know more about Ghosts than anybody else.
"This guy is the damn Supervisor Slayer, strikes again."
"Someone should rename this stream to 'Survival of the Ghost Students.'"
"This game can't be that deadly, right? It's been ages, and only the first guy who messed up got taken out. Everyone else seems fine."
"Yeah, it looks like those ghost students are too scared to even move XD"
The small livestream, which originally had only a few thousand viewers, had now exploded to tens of thousands, all drawn by the legend of Emmett and the supervisor who slays ghost students.
Especially when they saw the ghost students in the classroom, frozen in fear like quails, the viewers couldn't help but look on in awe.
Since the Eerie Realm game started, such a scene had only happened a handful of times.
While the audience was having a blast, Emmett was frowning.
After taking out a few ghost students, the rest had wised up and were now sitting perfectly still, making it hard for him to strike.
[If I don't take them all out, I wouldn't feel safe…]
Taking advantage of the exam supervisor patrolling the other side, Emmett leaned forward and craned his neck to peek at the test paper of the student in front of him.
Sensing something, the ghost student turned his head, only to be startled by Emmett's face inches away.
Dude, who's the ghost here, you or me?!
Seeing the ghost student sitting properly without any signs of cheating, Emmett sighed in disappointment.
As he pulled back, he couldn't help but mutter —
"Why are you such a dunce? None of your multiple-choice answers are right. You should've just picked all C's~"
"???"
Do you know ghosts better than I do?!
The ghost student's pale face darkened, clearly not buying Emmett's nonsense.
[I've survived here this long, you think I don't know the answers? Otherwise, how could I have stayed in this retake exam room for so long?!]
The ghost student snorted and continued working on his test, ignoring the taunts.
But as his hollow eyes glanced at the multiple-choice questions, his brows furrowed.
[Did I get something wrong?]
Trying to push away the doubts, he continued writing, but soon felt increasingly agitated.
[Maybe there is a mistake…]
Almost unconsciously, he changed one of his answers to C, and the more he looked at it, the more it made sense. He couldn't help but wonder.
[Could that damn human be right?]
As he hesitantly changed all his answers to C, he even started to believe he might ace the test.
Meanwhile, Emmett, watching the ghost student take the bait, raised his hand expressionlessly.
"Sir, the guy in front of me turned round to look at my answers!"
"???"
Are you freaking trolling me?!
The ghost student was in utter disbelief. Before he could react, the supervisor, reeking of blood, was already standing beside him.
Even as a ghost, the terrifying shadow of death loomed over his heart.
Unlike the other unlucky ghost students, this one chose to fight back.
"He's lying!"
BAM!!!
But his response was met with a bloody hand that instantly crushed his head.
The swift and brutal reaction stunned all the ghosts and players present.
The players thought Emmett had finally slipped up, but to their surprise, the supervisor stood firmly by his side. Facing the confused gazes of the ghost students, the supervisor cracked lips curled into a wider grin —
"This student has already completed the final bonus question, and he hasn't gotten a single answer wrong. So, whatever he says is correct."
"No way, he got everything right?!"
"Guessing all the multiple-choice questions is one thing, but how did he nail the fill-in-the-blanks and the long answers?"
"Is he blessed by the game gods? Everything he writes is correct?!"
"Is this guy really a newbie?"
"The stream info says this is his first time playing!"
"Kneel before the master."
The supervisor's words sent the livestream chat into a frenzy, with viewers almost worshipping Emmett's perfect test paper.
While other players were still guessing the multiple-choice questions, this guy had already moved on to the bonus questions.
As if to prove the supervisor's point, Emmett quickly copied down all the answers from the hints and then raised his hand with an innocent look —
"Sir, I'm done. Can I turn in my paper?"
He's done already?!
No way, boss, don't leave us hanging! At least let us copy your answers! If you leave, our sense of security just plummet!
Seeing Emmett about to leave, the other players panicked.
With the supervisor gone, wouldn't the ghost students go on a killing spree?
"Let me see."
The supervisor said calmly, picking up the test paper and skipping the earlier questions, heading straight to the final bonus question.
An uneasy silence filled the classroom once again, so quiet as if people could hear the rapid beating of hearts.
After a long pause, under Emmett's wary gaze, a smear of blood began to spread across the test paper, like splattered blood, making it look eerily strange.
The answers that had been written down gradually faded away, and the entire test paper turned blank again, filled with an old, ominous aura.
[Cursed Item—Bloodstained Test Paper: Drop your blood on the paper and throw it out to forcibly divert a ghost's attention to the paper. They cannot escape its control until they finish the test. Cheating will result in a remote attack from the supervisor. However, the higher the ghost's level, the weaker the control effect.]
The prompt about the test paper echoed in Emmett's mind, making his eyes light up.
This is a treasure! With this, I can strut around the campus without fear!
"You may leave."
Dropping the test paper, the supervisor gave Emmett a long look, as if trying to memorize his face, before delivering the final verdict.
With that, he returned to the podium, the blood flowing from his hollow eyes becoming even thicker, and the entire classroom seemed to respond, with eerie blood-red shadows spreading across the once-white walls.
Seeing this, the remaining ghost students in the class seemed greatly agitated, lowering their heads in terror and speeding up their writing.
But none of this concerned Emmett anymore. Grabbing the prize given by the supervisor, he cheerfully headed for the door.
As he left the classroom without any obstruction, the supervisor's voice echoed once more —
"Someone has turned in their paper. The exam time is now reduced to half an hour."
"Those who cannot turn in their paper within half an hour…die."
"All papers will be graded on the spot."
As soon as the supervisor finished speaking, the ghost students, who had been suppressed by Emmett, almost simultaneously turned their heads to look at the remaining players in the class.
The entire classroom fell into an even more chilling silence.
