Wherever those things crawled, the skin grew loose and began oozing droplets of blood; some areas were even chewed through, revealing grotesque insect mouthparts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What terrified the white-haired native most was that, occasionally, a ghostly shadow of a bald head riddled with bite marks would surface on Fatty’s flesh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fatty’s screams were unbearably horrific.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every student present turned pale with dread; the remaining four Student Union members felt their hearts freeze—they had no idea what could make Fatty scream like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The language teacher turned around at the sound, and a piece of chalk shot like a bullet into Fatty’s eye socket—plop—a jet of foul blood splattered out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is my second warning—you will stand in the corner and not disrupt the class!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Fatty didn’t stop, because the threat from the language teacher meant nothing compared to the agony inflicted by the Yellow Spring Dragon Lice! As everyone’s attention was drawn to Fatty—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian’s eyes gleamed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other four spectral Yellow Spring Dragon Lice had already crept silently to the feet of the other four Student Union members; upon Wu Xian’s signal, they simultaneously burrowed into those four students’ bodies! Though Wu Xian had decided to use the Ghost-Worm Devouring Curse to eliminate all Student Union members, he had little confidence in the combat power of the Yellow Spring Dragon Lice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they were just insects—two against one malevolent spirit was too much, and the margin for error was razor-thin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Wu Xian had struck first at Fatty, precisely to draw the language teacher’s attention away by the commotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the language teacher’s gaze, the other four Student Union members couldn’t make any large movements, but the tiny Yellow Spring Dragon Lice could act without restraint—they could only watch helplessly as the lice drilled into their own bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four Student Union members screamed just like Fatty, though their cries were slightly less intense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To ensure fairness, Wu Xian made the four lice crawl out of Fatty’s body, leaving four bloody trails on the floor before burrowing into the screaming Student Union members—so now everyone’s screams were identical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian had always thought malevolent spirits were perverse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of mentally normal being enjoyed listening to others’ screams?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found the Student Union members’ screams oddly pleasing, even worth recording onto vinyl records for home collection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stand in the corner! Stand in the corner! All of you, stand in the corner!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The language teacher slammed his desk and roared, but none of the five Student Union members obeyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face turned as dark as a soot-blackened pot: “It seems you have no intention of paying attention. Then we’ll resume the lesson once you’ve stopped.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click. Click. Click…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian suddenly heard an odd sound coming from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the language teacher wasn’t lecturing, Wu Xian didn’t need to keep his eyes fixed on him—he lifted his head slightly and saw thirty students seated upside-down on the ceiling! All wore school uniforms, their desks and bodies semi-transparent, emitting a faint green glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their appearance gave Wu Xian a strange sense of spatial dislocation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thirty ghostly students all tilted their heads upward, gazing at the five screaming, writhing Student Union members with the posture of someone looking at the ceiling—their eye sockets were pitch black, devoid of any trace of life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Be quiet!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The students on the ceiling spoke in unison, but the Student Union members couldn’t quiet down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Be quiet!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second time, same result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Be quiet!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third time the command was spoken, the classroom fell silent—the five Student Union members froze completely in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian’s pupils dilated. These five weren’t obeying and becoming quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were dead! Not just them—even the Yellow Spring Dragon Lice inside them had simultaneously lost all connection!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, if the Yellow Spring Dragon Lice completed their task, they would wind down gradually—but these spectral lice didn’t stop naturally after killing their targets; they were wiped out along with the Student Union members by some external force!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one disregarded the rules, feared no teacher’s punishment, and forcibly violated classroom order, the ghost students on the ceiling would intervene and forcibly erase one’s life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The classroom was so silent you could hear a pin drop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The language teacher cleared his throat: “Since the troublemakers have finally quieted down, let’s continue today’s lesson.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned back and resumed writing on the blackboard—the lesson finally continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the Student Union members disrupting, the students’ learning experience went smoothly until the bell rang, with no further incidents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During class—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian listened attentively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The language teacher taught the language of malevolent spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But only a few dozen phrases were covered, and throughout the entire lesson, he merely had them read aloud several times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with Wu Xian’s superior memory, he couldn’t master the malevolent spirits’ language from this content alone, so he could only choose specific phrases to memorize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In class—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian memorized these phrases:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please don’t kill me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I offer you a fresh sacrifice!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From now on, I will worship you as my ancestor, burning four sticks of incense daily.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian had no desire to grovel before malevolent spirits, but he might one day fall into a situation where he had no choice but to negotiate with them—learning two phrases of pleading couldn’t hurt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding ling ling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bell rang, signaling the end of class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The language teacher gathered his books and left; Wu Xian immediately turned to look at Fatty’s corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This blessed land had one more thing that annoyed Wu Xian: the severe shortage of offerings for deities. He’d finally found a way to obtain Suixiang , yet it came with side effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Wu Xian used Ghost Talismans to kill the Student Union members not only to eliminate threats, but also to retrieve loot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ideally, the Student Union members would drop a deity statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not a statue, even two sticks of Suixiang  would be better than nothing at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Wu Xian turned the corpse over and over, finding no trace of Suixiang , incense burners, or deity statues—leaving him somewhat disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled out his travel permit, hoping to see if killing the Student Union members had triggered any changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the first page of the permit, he saw newly appeared text:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the Metamorphosis Immigrant Training Center, there is a legend: hidden somewhere in a corner of the center is a deity statue visible only to certain individuals.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It is said that whoever sees the statue will end the Training Center’s cycle of reincarnation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Currently, ten deity statues are hidden in the corners of the Training Center; they shift positions unpredictably, and only non-native inhabitants of this world can see them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wu Xian, the Favored One, has a higher probability of encountering five of these statues.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1202,"2026-06-20T14:31:07.793Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","7ebe141d41d621be9fd3729bb4407446ce5c94b6fd7b87c49d30a9b87b929949","heavenly-official-bestows-evil-chapter-527","heavenly-official-bestows-evil-chapter-525",556,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheavenly-official-bestows-evil-cover.jpg"]
