"Did I just accidentally fall asleep?"

"What time is it now?"

Su Ming patted his chest.

Thankfully, it was just a dream.

That was really terrifying.

But this dream felt way too real.

His chest still faintly ached, as if it had truly been pierced.

He picked up the phone that was face down on the bed.

The screen was still lit.

Yet Su Ming seemed to have died.

His eyes were fixed on the game page of Ghost School Belle.

A new option had appeared in the corner of the screen.

[Interaction]

[Favorability: Malevolent (1/100)]

Su Ming was dumbfounded.

When did he interact with the Ghost School Belle?

As he thought about it, he suddenly remembered the cold, mechanical voice saying "interaction complete."

Cold sweat gradually seeped from his forehead.

"Fuck, it wasn't a dream, it was real!"

With a shiver, he hurled the phone at the wall.

With a dull thud, the phone's screen shattered and went black, the body deformed, showing just how much force Su Ming had used.

It was truly frightening.

Seeing the phone unresponsive, Su Ming's wildly beating heart finally began to calm down.

But just three or four seconds later, a sudden mechanical voice nearly scared his heart to a stop.

The mechanical voice appeared directly in his mind, without any warning, yet terrifyingly clear.

[Warning! Warning! Warning!]

[Game carrier damaged, automatically loading into host's mind]

[Loading successful, binding successful]

Su Ming shuddered, and before him appeared the game interface that should only have been on the phone screen.

[Host: Su Ming]

[Initial Development Character: Ghost School Belle]

[Favorability: Malevolent (1/100)]

[Warning: Favorability too low, host is advised to maintain high-frequency interactions with Ghost School Belle]

[If Ghost School Belle's favorability remains at the malevolent stage, she will break through the game's constraints, descend into the real world, and claim the host's life until the host is dead]

(Warning: Current descent countdown: 71:59:59)

(Warm tip: When Ghost School Belle's favorability increases to unfamiliar, new features will be unlocked)

What~

Su Ming stood frozen, his mind blank.

It took him a long time to realize what he had encountered.

Report it to the police, would they believe him?

If he called the police saying, "Officer, I couldn't sleep at night and wanted to play something thrilling, but accidentally downloaded a bizarre development game, and now it's in my head."

"In three days, she's going to descend into reality to claim my life."

The police might immediately contact the city's best mental health center for Su Ming.

"This is way too fucking exciting!"

Su Ming lay flat on the bed, his hands resting on his chest.

Don't call him.

He planned to die for a while.

Mom, I'll never think life is boring again.

That's what he said.

But looking at the constantly ticking descent countdown, he felt like he was going to split apart.

Mom, I might die.

Love you all.

But before dying.

Su Ming climbed out of bed, he couldn't die today.

Tomorrow, he would first go fix his phone.

He had to delete the browsing history completely.

Otherwise, given his parents' personalities, they would definitely restore his phone after his death.

And the computer's browsing history too.

Sigh, he had to leave a clean slate in the world.

"Wait."

Suddenly, Su Ming froze.

He touched his chest.

It seemed like... he wouldn't die in the game.

Instantly regaining his senses, he got up from the floor.

"Hah, scared me for a moment."

He suddenly felt capable again.

Taking a closer look at the game instructions.

"So, if I increase Ghost School Belle's favorability, she won't descend into reality."

"Oh, I see."

Looking again at Ghost School Belle's current favorability.

[Current Favorability: Malevolent (1/100)]

"So, if I die 100 times, Ghost School Belle's favorability will upgrade."

He thoughtfully stroked his chin.

Gritting his teeth.

"Die then, after all, I can resurrect."

"What is there to fear!"

Su Ming patted his face, cheering himself on.

But looking at the [Interaction] option, Su Ming's finger still froze.

Death wasn't scary.

What was scary was the process of dying.

That intense pain, the helplessness of life slipping away, even thinking about it now made Su Ming's heart contract.

He really didn't want to experience it again.

But at this point, Su Ming had no choice.

Either increase Ghost School Belle's favorability.

Or wait for Ghost School Belle to descend into reality to claim his life.

Who the fuck would choose death if they could live.

No choice.

Then let's do it.

The moment he pressed the [Interaction] option, a door appeared in front of Su Ming.

Inside the door was darkness, as if leading to the abyss.

The countdown began: 00:00:59, 00:00:58...

When the time hit zero, the door rushed towards him at an incredible speed, swallowing him in an instant.

There was a dizzying sensation like a high-speed train passing through a tunnel.

He returned to the classroom once more.

The second time in the classroom, Su Ming, though nervous, was much better than the first time.

He forced himself to suppress the fear making his scalp tingle, put on what he thought was his friendliest smile, and shouted at the Ghost School Belle, "Hi, hello..."

With a soft sound.

The Ghost School Belle's hair seemed alive.

It rapidly extended and grew, like a giant python, piercing directly through Su Ming's chest.

More black hair rose like tentacles, stabbing into his body, sucking something out like straws.

His vision blurred, consciousness faded, life ebbed away.

Su Ming struggled to raise a middle finger, his last words were two: "Wait for it."

[Favorability +1, Current: Malevolent (2/100)]

Phew.

Su Ming opened his eyes on the sofa, gasping for air, like a drowning man greedily breathing in.

"No wonder she's a ghost, really fierce, attacking right on sight."

Death is terrifying.

It silently and irrevocably changes a person's mindset, a change that is irreversible, a permanent alteration of both physiology and spirit.

So, when death knocks, some achieve enlightenment, seeing through many things, while others collapse into despair, becoming mad.

Everyone faces death differently.

Like Su Ming at this moment, he was very angry.

Already in a bad mood, now he was even angrier.

"Come on, who's afraid of who?"

So, Su Ming, eyes red, clicked [Interaction].

"Try not to attack first."

The black hair rampaged, tearing Su Ming to pieces.

[Favorability +1, Current: Malevolent (3/100)]

[Interaction]

"Can't you understand what I'm saying?"

[Favorability +1, Current: Malevolent (4/100)]

[Interaction]

"What's so great about a ghost?"

Su Ming's anger grew.

He lunged at the Ghost School Belle, sneering.

We are bit.ly/3iBfjkV, find us on google.

But before his hand could touch her, he was torn to pieces.

[Favorability +1, Current: Malevolent (5/100)]

[Favorability +1, Current: Malevolent (6/100)]

[Favorability +1, Current: Malevolent (7/100)]

Time and again, death and awakening.

The pain went from excruciating to something he got used to.

Su Ming's fear vanished completely, leaving only an intense excitement.

Once more in the classroom.

He couldn't even be bothered to speak, charging forward with red eyes.

The Ghost School Belle was no longer sitting.

She was standing now.

Staring angrily at Su Ming.

Countless black hairs pierced through him.

Pain, pain so intense it nearly shattered his sanity, tore his soul apart.

But so what.

Time and again, death, time and again, charging in.

Su Ming had long since thrown caution to the wind.

His mind teetering on madness, blood boiling.

Predatory eyes locked onto the Ghost School Belle.

The Ghost School Belle looked at Su Ming, whose features twisted in pain, and spat out two words: "Go die."

The next second was endless agony.

Countless black hairs burrowed into Su Ming's skin, veins, bones, rampaging wildly.

The pain was more intense than ever before.

Yet Su Ming laughed maniacally: "Hahaha, hahaha."

"Feels great~"

"Beauty, are you giving me a fucking massage?"

"Feels so fucking great."

For the first time, the Ghost School Belle's expression changed, her pure black eyes wide open.

Even the once razor-sharp black hair turned soft.

Su Ming broke free, like a bloodied man, staggering to the Ghost School Belle.

He grabbed her head fiercely, trying to push it down.

But unfortunately, he couldn't push it down.

The Ghost School Belle's strength far exceeded his imagination.

But he still had to speak.

"I'm really pissed off right now, got it?"

He pressed harder.

Damn, really couldn't push it down.

That feeling, like grabbing a steel mountain.

[Favorability +10, Current: Malevolent (17/100)]

(Tip: Ghost School Belle shows strong emotional fluctuation, favorability gain maximized)
