Moreover, this explanation makes a lot of things make sense, including why Shi Jinwei's props couldn't be identified as strange.

For advanced parasitic ghosts, container ghosts, and painted-skin ghosts, her glasses might not actually be useful.

Having obtained a new clue, Shi Jinwei wanted to immediately set off to check out the abandoned teaching building.

The other three had to continue their role-playing and could only offer her verbal encouragement.

After the four separated, Shi Jinwei took advantage of the night to return to the abandoned teaching building.

At night, without streetlights, this area appears even more eerie and terrifying.

The small door she had used in the morning was still unlocked, so she crawled inside again.

The principal blocked the way to the top floor, so she didn't go up for fear of alerting him.

Now is the perfect time.

However, at the top of the stairs on the sixth floor, Shi Jinwei finally saw the strange sight of two hands holding hands.

A man and a woman I didn't recognize, but their faces looked just like the couple in the file photo.

They all have the same name on their heads—the Couple Ghosts.

Sensing the presence of humans, the two ghosts simultaneously lowered their heads, staring wide-eyed at Shi Jinwei below.

Upon discovering that the small piece of trash seemed to be able to see them, it immediately pounced on her.

Shi Jinwei remained calm and took out two incense sticks from her spatial storage and lit them.

The couple immediately stopped, sniffed the smell, and looked at the thing in the girl's hand.

The aroma emanated from her hands.

Shi Jinwei noticed their hesitation and shook the object in her hand: "Want to talk?"

The vengeful spirits: "..."

The female ghost in the couple couldn't help but ask, "Can you see us?"

Now it was Shi Jinwei's turn to be puzzled, but she still nodded.

Seeing this, the two were both surprised and happy: "Great, finally someone can see us! I heard that NPCs in other dungeons can see and interact with eerie things, but not in our dungeon. I can't even scare people, it's so frustrating!"

The one speaking was a male ghost.

Shi Jinwei couldn't help but glance at the two of them again; there was quite a lot of information in those few sentences.

She took out a stick of incense and handed it over, a clue immediately flashing through her mind:

[Ding! Congratulations, player, you have gained 10 points of favorability with the Ghostly Vengeance!]

The couple were delighted to see her so generous.

Especially the female ghost in the couple, she was practically ready to give Shi Jinwei a hug.

Unfortunately, unlike other ghosts, they have no physical form.

"Can you tell me what you know?" she asked, handing over the remaining two incense sticks.

The favorability rating immediately rose to 30 points.

"No problem, what do you want to ask?" The female ghost was very easy to talk to and asked Shi Jinwei.

Shi Jinwei paused for a moment, then said, "Actually, there are quite a lot."

What concerned her most was why their forms were different, illusory, like ghosts.

"Oh, that's because the timeline of this instance is before the arrival of the eerie game," the female ghost replied matter-of-factly.

Her boyfriend added, "Yes, if it were after ****, we would have a physical form."

A few words were censored, but she guessed it should be "after the arrival of the eerie game".

"What if the timeline of the copy is pushed forward? Will you also have a physical form?" Shi Jinwei guessed.

The ghost nodded: "That's right. If this instance had opened at a different time, our forms wouldn't necessarily be like this. There are many timelines for this instance, and we can't predict when it will randomly open."

"Is that murder case related to you?" Shi Jinwei took out four incense sticks again.

My favorability rating jumped to thirty in an instant.

However, they didn't answer: "Girl, this question has limitations; you'll have to rely on yourself."

The female ghost smiled shyly at her; they each had their own duties.

Shi Jinwei nodded in understanding. Even if you become a monster, you still have to work hard.

To change the question: "How can I see the student teachers? And what about the students who died in the last couple of days?"

Two strange eyes stared wide open.

Female ghost: "How do you know about them?"

Male ghost: "I can't say, I can't say."

This indirectly gave her the answer; she handed the incense to them.

Before leaving, she asked one last question: "The strange thing about this instance is that those who die unjustly all become ghosts?"

Perhaps because their favorability rating had increased to 40, they still laughed it off, but their heads nodded almost imperceptibly.

She smiled, as expected.

These two ghosts look quite innocent, but what about the teacher ghost?

With that in mind, she made a bold decision and ran to the roof of the building.

He took out nearly a hundred incense sticks, lit them, and waited for his prey to come to him.

Two vengeful spirits followed the scent and floated up, seeing that the player had taken out so many incense sticks and lit them.

Envious tears involuntarily streamed down my face.

He held the incense sticks that Shi Jinwei had just given him under his nose and took a deep breath.

At first, it didn't have much effect.

Gradually, Shi Jinwei saw people walking towards them.

It started with one, two, three...

Occasionally, the notification sound of "[Affection +1]" would pop into my mind.

Soon, the male teacher and the students who had died in the past two days appeared.

The quantity is just right.

They all looked as they did before they died, still in human form.

They all share the same name – Yuan Gui (怨鬼).

The male teacher and Jiang Tao look quite alike.

Only their bloodshot eyes betrayed them.

Shi Jinwei scanned the eerie sights through her binoculars, then her gaze settled on something.

Unexpectedly, she spotted a familiar figure among these people—Liu Xin.

There's no name above its head, no red health bar, and its eyes aren't red either.

They look like normal human beings.

At this moment, her face was expressionless, and her eyes were fierce.

Noticing Shi Jinwei's gaze, he glanced in her direction and let out a low growl.

They drifted over from the brightly lit school building in the distance, and the NPCs didn't seem to notice them at all, showing no reaction.

The strange creatures came by the scent of incense and didn't notice the small piece of trash there.

Shi Jinwei took out the cat-like mask and put it on, concealing her human presence.

As they approached, they discovered a strange creature standing there, and they stared at each other in bewilderment.

"Who are you?" the male intern teacher asked Shi Jinwei, looking the unfamiliar creature up and down.

It has been here for so long and has never seen this cat ghost.

Shi Jinwei lied without blinking: "She's new."

It didn't believe its words and turned to look at Liu Xin, who also frowned.

But Shi Jinwei didn't give them any time to think.

A handful of incense was divided equally among several ghosts, and their favorability points kept ringing out.

"I'm new here and don't know what to do yet. You're all seniors, so please take care of me," she said.

The couple was stunned by this scene, forgetting to expose the deception, and just watched the show with bated breath.

Other tricks were also rendered useless.

They'd never seen such a polite creature before.

They looked at Liu Xin, who paused for a moment, and said, "Never mind, you guys talk to it."

She followed the fragrance and walked to the side.

The male teacher nodded mysteriously and pulled Shi Jinwei aside.

Several students stood silently, as if they had only recently developed cognitive abilities and were slow to react.
