He’s walking toward us—he’s almost at your side now,\" Liu Yang said, watching the figure move slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter how hard Wu Wang strained his eyes, he saw no one in the dim corridor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment’s thought, he rolled up his sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red vertical pupil was exposed, its strange iris darting around, as if a curious child fascinated by the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passed, gradually…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Wang saw it too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blurred human silhouette appeared about two or three meters in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his vision sharpened…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A boy, roughly one meter seventy, slightly round in build, wearing the Gaoshan High School uniform, stared curiously at the two of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face was plump—the kind of chubby kid every high school class seemed to have—with a hint of shyness in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked cautiously: \"You… are you a new student in the building? Which class?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Wang immediately sensed something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the kid spoke, everything around them grew brighter, clearer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The once pitch-dark corridor now revealed dirt stains on the floor tiles; the haphazardly piled debris vanished, replaced by neatly arranged objects along the walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most bizarrely, several students stood atop desks, painting colors onto the walls—as if creating some kind of print art.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was cheerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laughter and playfulness echoed occasionally; many students dipped brushes in paint to decorate their uniforms, sketching childish yet vibrant images.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some girls quietly wrote the names of their crushes on the left chest of their uniforms, adding hearts; others, mischievous boys, drew grotesque faces on their cheeks to scare people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the fuck? Where the hell did you guys come from?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this even still China?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Wang cursed under his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation inside this art building was far more complicated than he’d imagined!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abnormal places, populated by normal people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the most abnormal thing of all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chubby boy finally gathered courage and stepped forward to comfort them: \"You can’t remember your class either, right? Don’t worry—we’re the same.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying that, he walked toward a girl standing on a desk, tiptoeing to sketch a Catbus on the wall, and whispered: \"Class monitor, new students have arrived—could you assign them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl turned around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without makeup, she was clearly a beauty—a delicate oval face, lips like cherry blossoms, naturally glossy as if dripping with moisture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A smudge of blue paint on her cheek gave her an air of playfulness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She jumped down from the desk with ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She extended her hand with a bright smile: \"Hi, I’m Chen Nan, head monitor of all classes in this art building. Come with me—I’ll explain the situation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Wang reached out and shook her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chu Yuxun. Nice to meet you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warmth of her palm made him momentarily dazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Body temperature? Are these people real?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’re not ghosts?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, too hasty—I need to observe more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They walked forward in a line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few steps, two boys pushing each other accidentally knocked over a basin of paint water, and a flood of black-red sludge splashed straight toward Wu Wang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with his quick reflexes, he still got splattered across his abdomen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li Hua! Wang Ming! Didn’t you see the new student? Behave yourselves!\" Chen Nan grabbed the two boys’ ears and scolded them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, sorry! Class Monitor, let go—I’m gonna lose my ears…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boys laughed as they begged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chubby boy noticed Wu Wang standing frozen, stepped forward, and said: \"Splashed? I’ve got an old uniform—I’ll go get it for you to change into.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Wang didn’t answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He merely frowned, gently wiping the paint stains from his body—the familiar pain stimulated his nerves, jolting him fully awake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no paint stain—only thick, black-red viscous fluid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His vision blurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surroundings returned to darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before him stood a steel pipe, thick as a finger, its tip broken, revealing a jagged, rust-covered edge sharper than a blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had walked straight into it—the pipe had pierced clean through his abdomen from front to back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His bulletproof vest had done nothing—clearly, this wasn’t mere physical damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The so-called paint stains were his own blood—black-red because his internal organs had been punctured!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cough cough cough… Now this is more like it…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mad grin spread across Wu Wang’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A warm, cozy class in this ghost school? What absolute bullshit for an otherworld!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grabbed the pipe and slowly pulled it forward—each millimeter of movement tore at his internal wounds, the agony making his forehead veins bulge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plop—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pipe was fully withdrawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A finger-thick wound in his abdomen gushed blood like a ruptured dam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paid it no mind—only gasped, gripping the pipe tightly, slowly aiming its sharp tip at his temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Second loop… Initiate!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flash—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without surprise, Wu Wang drove the pipe through his own skull—letting the abdominal wound kill him slowly was too slow, and it hampered his movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Better to cut the knot cleanly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Die first!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh… Ha! Huh ha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instant he revived and opened his eyes, he saw everyone staring at him with strange expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked down—he was holding a basin of dirty water, scrubbing his face violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His entire face was smeared beyond recognition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even his skin was raw from the scrubbing—his force was so intense it was astonishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh, Chu? Do you… maybe have a slight, uh… mental issue?\" Chen Nan asked cautiously, then quickly added: \"Of course, I’m not discriminating against the mentally ill—I’m just asking for the safety of other students.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone would think something was wrong if they saw someone suddenly freeze mid-walk, then snatch a basin of dirty water and scrub their face like that!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was nearly scraping off his own skin!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who the hell does that to themselves?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I suppose I’m ill,\" Wu Wang said, his smeared face twisting into a grotesque smile. \"But I think—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s your world that’s insane.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1110,"2026-06-20T05:36:16.007Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","6f5ea8b807cf4aea795b8c4ecae6c8025d47726c956d45cedf522adf01f3e42b","the-immortal-who-speedruns-the-supernatural-game-chapter-24","the-immortal-who-speedruns-the-supernatural-game-chapter-22",331,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-immortal-who-speedruns-the-supernatural-game-cover.jpg"]
