Ethan Blake did not notice the changes in the live broadcast panel.
Because a line of large characters suddenly lit up on the panel.
[Activate the main mission: Survive in the teaching building for five hours]
Ethan had already surveyed his surroundings.
All classrooms were at "moderate risk."
Only the corridor where he stood...
Was judged to be a low-level hazard.
Five hours...
Wouldn't it be enough to just stay in the corridor?
Ethan adjusted his grip on the kitchen knife.
In front of him,
At the end of the corridor,
There seemed to be a layer of fog.
Ethan thought he was seeing things.
He rubbed his eyes.
But the fog remained.
It was even getting thicker.
The red window of the risk assessment system popped up in front of him.
[The Fog of Whispering Shadows High School: Advanced Danger]
Five hours...
Of course, it couldn't be that simple!
This fog,
It's just driving players everywhere to step into pitfalls.
Ethan turned around quickly.
[Corridor on the first floor of Whispering Shadows University: Low-level danger]
Keep walking,
Ethan quickly moved toward the other side of the corridor.
Behind him...
The strange mist appeared,
Quietly catching up.
…
[Player Lily Thompson was swallowed by the fog, her mental value dropped to 0, and she was assimilated into a copy of the creature]
[Player William Wright encountered a fierce ghost in Grade 1, and his mental value dropped to 0, and he was assimilated into a copy of the creature]
[Player Emily Johnson was swallowed by the fog, and her mental value...]
[...]
Live wall.
The small screens went out one after another.
The appearance of mist,
Caught players off guard.
In just five minutes,
Most of the players were out!
Ethan's live broadcast screen remained bright in the darkness of 1.0.
Attracting more attention.
: The difficulty of Whispering Shadows School is indeed significant. Suddenly fog appears, and it is impossible for novice players to react quickly, and the fog is the most dangerous thing.
: How can this newcomer still maintain full mental energy? Isn't such a dangerous situation worthy of his trembling?
: Psychological quality is awesome!
: Calm down, as long as you don't open the classroom door randomly and get into trouble, five hours will pass quickly.
: Pay attention, he's a potential standout.
: His behavior doesn't look like mental illness, it's quite logical.
: Mental illness does not mean madness. Severe depression can also lead to hospitalization. This player may be in a similar situation.
: Indeed, except for being too calm, he looks quite normal.
: [...]
In the live broadcast screen.
Ethan moved to the second floor.
The fog remained on the first floor.
It would take some time to spread to the second floor.
Ethan was not in a hurry to leave,
Instead, his eyes fell on the restroom door at the corner.
…
[The women's restroom on the second floor of Whispering Shadows University: Low-level danger]
[Men's restroom on the second floor of Whispering Shadows University: Intermediate danger]
[Corridor on the second floor of Whispering Shadows University: Low-level danger]
[Trash can at the corner of the second floor of Whispering Shadows University: Intermediate hazard]
[Class 1, Grade 2, Whispering Shadows University: Intermediate Danger]
[Class 2, Grade 2, Whispering Shadows University: Intermediate Danger]
[...]
Ethan had been observing.
Any place with a door was rated as moderately dangerous.
There was only a wall separating the men's and women's restrooms.
The women's restroom was unexpectedly low-level danger.
In Ethan's eyes,
The only thing in the women's restroom is that the words "problem" were posted directly on the door.
After estimating the spreading speed of the fog,
Ethan, with a portable kitchen knife,
He strode toward the women's restroom.
Maybe,
The women's restroom on the second floor,
Was the only safe place in Whispering Shadows School.
…
: Reported.
: Being in a ghost school, he never forgets his original intention and is a ruthless person.
: Visitor 22637 sent 1,000 "flowers".
…
The restroom door opened with a push.
As the smell of blood hit his face,
The game prompt lit up in the style of blood letters.
[Player Ethan Blake triggers the hidden mission of Whispering Shadows School]
The floor of the women's restroom was covered with beige tiles.
Bloody water slowly flowed from a faucet that could not be turned off.
Mixed with the blood on the ground...
Were long black hairs like tentacles.
Looking up along the long hair...
A figure with a handsome face,
With slender hands and feet,
A female ghost wearing a blood-stained school uniform skirt,
Sat on the water tank in the stall.
[Hidden task: caress the female ghost's long hair for five minutes]
[Reward: Unknown]
[Hidden mission rules: If the player who triggered the hidden mission cannot complete the hidden mission, he only needs to complete the main mission to leave the instance safely.
If you die in a hidden mission, the player dies.
Hidden tasks are not mandatory.
And hidden tasks can only be completed by the triggering player.]
Touching the female ghost's hair,
The level of danger was no less than touching a tiger's tail.
Five minutes,
Was enough for the female ghost to whip him to death hundreds of times.
For an unknown reward...
At this moment,
The risk assessment system popped up——
[The haunting female ghost in the women's restroom of Whispering Shadows University: Low-level danger]
Ethan was stunned.
The corners of his mouth slowly raised,
Revealing his first smile since entering the game.
...
A few more small screens on the live broadcast wall went out.
All the viewers in front of the novice live broadcast area looked up at Ethan's small screen.
"Whispering Shadows School actually has a hidden mission? I didn't expect it to be triggered by a newbie?!"
"A dungeon specially created for novices, who would have thought that there is a hidden dungeon in it!"
"Hidden tasks are inherently difficult, and I'm still a novice player... No wonder his luck value is 0."
"It's over. A good potential player has to fall into a hidden mission."
Everyone showed regretful expressions.
The number of viewers in Ethan's live broadcast room has also exceeded 300.
: Yaya looks forward and sent 1,000 "flowers".
: The Five Tigers Guild sends a "plane".
: [...]
Among the players watching,
Someone noticed something else.
"This new player's spirit value is still 100?!"
Everyone: "????"
Upon closer look.
Wow!
It really is!
