Chapter 5, Intoxication

"Do not pay attention to him, just do as you please. This guy is nothing but a drunkard," Bai Xiu said to me with a hint of helplessness.

Hehe, it's alright, it's alright... I am quite easygoing. I quickly tried to smooth things over, after all, I will be living with these guys in the future, so it is necessary to maintain a good relationship

Li Qiang and Bai Xiu have become somewhat familiar with each other since they arrived a few days earlier than I did. Now that I have also arrived, our dormitory suddenly has three people. To enhance our relationships, Li Qiang suggested that we go to the night market next to the school to eat and drink together

Although Qingshan University has fallen into decline, it was once a well-known university in Jinhua City, so the conditions of the dormitory buildings are naturally not poor

However, his deliberate approach to engage in conversation with me naturally carries other intentions

Although the night market is located near the school, it is essentially considered part of the school area. It is very crowded, and the entire street is shrouded in mist, resembling an entrance to a fairyland.

The counselor glanced at the list on the table, stood up, and extended a hand to me, saying: "Welcome, student. I hope you can gain knowledge and joy at our school"

My name is Li Qiang, what about you? the young man said generously

"Hey... you know, you have quite an eye for this..." I glanced at the ponytail that Li Qiang mentioned, paired with a cute and charming oval face, her perky bottom swaying back and forth on the chair... Indeed, she is a rare sight in the night market.

"Damn it! Lost again!" The young man playing on the computer angrily tossed his mouse aside, feeling somewhat dejected as he walked over to his cabinet. He pulled out a can of beer and gulped it down. After finishing, he glanced at me and threw a can my way.

Bai Xiu sneered and said, "That sounds quite nice; are you planning to treat us this time?"

"Stop it, big brother! Please calm down!" I am truly at a loss for words, quickly reaching out to pull Li Qiang out; this guy is just too embarrassing.

Such an explanation is somewhat vague, but in any case, it has temporarily alleviated some of the concerns of students and parents

This sense of comfort, of course, can only be experienced by individuals like me who possess a yin-yang constitution

After drinking several bottles of alcohol, Li Qiang's gaze had become somewhat unfocused. Not only did his body begin to sway like a roly-poly toy, but his mouth also started to become rather unruly

I have no choice but to sit uneasily and watch Li Qiang, hoping that this drunkard will not cause any more trouble.

Forgive me for this life of unrestrained indulgence and love for freedom, yet I also fear that one day I may fall, abandoned by ideals that anyone can forsake, then I will fear that one day it will only be you and me...

Since its establishment, this school has received widespread acclaim from the outside world. It is considered a top-tier quality university. However, in recent years, it is unclear whether it has been affected by some negative influence, as strange and bizarre occurrences frequently happen on campus. This has left the entire faculty and student body in a state of anxiety.

"Classmate, what is your name?" The counselor said to me without looking up after completing his enrollment registration.

... ...

Forget it, it doesn't matter. After all, it has nothing to do with me, and I am not afraid of those "things"

My counselor is a man in his thirties. When I arrived at his office, he was busy assisting a student with the enrollment process

"The Plum in the Golden Vase"

This fellow intends to flirt with respectable women. I said with annoyance, being with someone who lacks decorum is truly a shameful matter

The dark red house is generally used as a crematorium, the color of a mortuary. This dilapidated school already has a heavy atmosphere, and now it has a dark red dormitory building; is it afraid that it won't be haunted inside?

I walked into the dormitory building and arrived at my room. When I took out the key to open the door, my eyes lit up

Bai Xiu did not pay any attention to Li Qiang, but instead put down the book in his hands and jumped off the bed. He extended his hand and said: "As that fool mentioned, my name is Bai Xiu. I was so engrossed in my reading just now that I did not get up to greet you, so I hope you can forgive me"

"What? He wants to do such a thing?" Bai Xiu was also taken aback upon hearing this and quickly said, "Then let's hurry and stop him."

My name is Zeng Jian, I said

Look at how broad-minded Zeng Jian is, and then look at you. Sigh... I am almost embarrassed to speak of you

However, ever since frequent rumors of hauntings have emerged from Qingshan University, the school's reputation has significantly increased, but unfortunately, the number of students has also decreased considerably

When leaving the Spicy Unfated Hot Pot restaurant, Jiang Zhongyuan advised me to feel free to come to him whenever I needed assistance, as he is the owner of this hot pot establishment. I gladly agreed, as it was a kind gesture on his part, and I certainly would not refuse. I suppose I can also enjoy free hot pot in the future, right

I casually looked in the direction he pointed... Wow, it's really quite nice...

The people around the dining table all paused their chopsticks and looked over with curious eyes

"Nonsense! What more is there to say... If he could make me his woman, I would rather shorten my life by three years." I replied casually while greedily gazing at the ponytail.

Before long, the boss brought out a case of wine, and Li Qiang asked the boss to open all the beers.

I looked at these two roommates and couldn't help but chuckle, believing that life in the future will certainly not be too dull

After the counselor provided a general introduction to the school, he gave me a key to the dormitory and informed me that the dormitory in the West District would be my residence. He also mentioned that I could come to him for assistance with any issues related to my daily life in the future

"Do you want her to be your girlfriend?" Li Qiang suddenly said to me with a serious expression

I smiled and nodded, shaking hands with the counselor. However, I felt a bit disappointed inside

As soon as I stepped into this school, I could feel a chilling atmosphere, such heavy阴气... I felt a wave of comfort wash over me from the inside out

"Zeng Jian?" Li Qiang was taken aback for a moment, then he smiled with a hint of mischief, "This name is quite good, I like it, from now on you will stick with me."

Because this fellow Li Qiang not only has a poor tolerance for alcohol, but his behavior when drinking is also astonishingly bad

Ah, yes. I smiled and greeted, my gaze flickering, and suddenly I noticed that there was another person in the room, who was sitting on the upper bunk beside me reading a book

What happened?" After Bai Xiu finished settling the bill and returned, he found that Li Qiang had disappeared without a trace, feeling somewhat puzzled.

Li Qiang skillfully found a bustling barbecue restaurant, leading us to an empty table where we sat down

I knew it would turn out this way. Bai Xiu sighed and said with some resignation, "Please help take care of him while I go settle the bill"

First, expose my identity as a zombie, then talk about my grandfather, and finally mention that he can be contacted for any future matters

Jiang Zhongyuan asked me why I wanted to attend Qingshan University. My explanation is quite simple: this ghost school allows me to be more down-to-earth. After all, I am a zombie, and attending classes in a ghost school might make me feel more at ease

The faculty and students currently at this school are either atheists or students who did not qualify for admission to a first-tier university

The saliva of both Li Qiang and I unconsciously flowed down...

I closed the door with satisfaction, only to realize that one of my roommates had already arrived ahead of time

Thus, a prestigious school has turned into a ghost school

I exchanged pleasantries with him before bidding farewell

... ...

"Hey? Zeng Jian, what do you think of that girl over there?" Li Qiang suddenly stopped singing, widened his eyes, and pointed to a table of people not far away as he spoke to me

Boss, please bring me 10 skewers of beef, 10 skewers of fatty meat, and 10 skewers of beef tendon, then a plate of chives, a whole head fish, and finally a case of beer. Remember to be a bit quicker!

"Where, where, where?" I suddenly became energized, as beautiful women are my greatest love

I do not know if I can embrace the beauty and bring her home, but I am certain that if Li Qiang goes, he will definitely not return

Why isn't she a beautiful counselor? ... Sigh ... I really think too much

"Another day... another day..." Li Qiang wished he could bury his face under the table

Hey there, young lady, you look so charming, would you like to join me for a drink?

I was suddenly stunned ... I immediately felt embarrassed as if I had lost face in front of my grandmother ... I quickly covered Li Qiang's mouth ... Upon looking again, Bai Xiu appeared very calm, clearly indicating that this was not the first time he had encountered such a situation

To speak reasonably, the current Qingshan University is not much better than a diploma mill university

"There is wine to drink today, and one must have money to enjoy it." Bai Xiu cast a disdainful glance at Li Qiang, "When will you repay the money you owe me?"

"Cut it out, Bai Xiu, how can you still have the face to talk to me?" Li Qiang said with an expression of defiance, "I did this to strengthen the relationship among classmates, unlike you, who has been here for a while and hasn't even greeted anyone!"

... ...

There are several girls sitting over there who should be from our school, each with long legs and a slim waist, truly sexy and charming

It is a treasure land for living

"Is everything open? With so much, I'm afraid we won't be able to finish it all," I said with some surprise.

I smiled and shook hands with him, saying: "I understand, those who are eager to learn are like this. Only through constant hard work and study can one have a bright future, right? But what book are you reading?"

"Don't! It's your first day in the dormitory today, we should welcome you properly." Bai Xiu felt that I was being too polite and quickly got up to settle the bill.

However, upon closer inspection, I realized that it was not Li Qiang who spoke this sentence, but rather a young man with dyed yellow hair and a cigarette in his mouth. Beside him, a group of ruffians were looking at the ponytail with amused expressions.

Isn't it? It will soon no longer be dull

The person reading on the bed is quite different from the "sloppy boy" playing on the computer. His hair is not only neatly combed, but his face is also clean and fair, adorned with a somewhat heavy pair of glasses. He is holding a book in his hand and, upon noticing my arrival, merely nodded slightly before continuing to read.

"It's all right, let's be happy! Come! Let's toast to our new roommate, Zeng Jian!" Li Qiang waved his hand and said generously, raising his glass.

Alright, alright, I will get it done for you soon! The boss smiled broadly, indicating that he was very familiar with Li Qiang, this regular customer

Haha, this tactic of using military action before diplomacy is quite interesting. This old man is not bad; I will often trouble him.

"What good is just thinking? You have to take action!" Li Qiang shouted as he stood up, "I'll help you get her phone number!"

I must say that this guy has a really low presence; it took me this long to notice him after I entered the room

After all, since Qing Shan University gained its notorious reputation, the number of students applying has decreased significantly. In desperation, the school had no choice but to lower the admission score threshold. Consequently, many individuals who previously struggled to gain admission can now easily enter this institution.

The general meaning is that now that you are here, you should behave yourself, as your grandfather is not here to protect you. However, if someone bullies you, you can report it to me.

Thank you, my name is Zeng Jian. I caught the beer that Li Qiang threw and said to him

Ah... this..." Li Qiang's face immediately turned red, and he was momentarily at a loss for words

A voice came over...

Not bad... It is quite unique inside, and there are only four beds, so it seems to be a dormitory for four people

I raised my glass with Bai Xiuye

The construction of the entire dormitory building exhibits a European-inspired style, characterized by exquisite elegance and grandiosity

The newcomer? A young man with a face full of acne and disheveled hair glanced back at me while playing on the computer

I was taken aback and immediately filled with rage; if Li Qiang were to truly commit such a barbaric act, I would be the first to show him no mercy

"What a rude fellow, do you not know that mocking someone else's name is very impolite?" The young man reading a book raised his head and said sarcastically to Li Qiang

Li Qiang shook my hand off and, with a drunken expression, said: "Don't be afraid! With me around, I guarantee you can take a beauty home tonight"

"Who are you calling a drunkard?" Li Qiang replied unhappily, "One must enjoy life to the fullest; drink today while there is wine. How can someone like you, who does not understand life, possibly comprehend this?"

I nodded, preparing to forcibly pull Li Qiang back. If he continued to be disobedient, I would not hesitate to knock him unconscious

However, the bricks and tiles of the building are surprisingly dark red

Such events have occurred, and naturally, the school authorities must contain the information. However, with the increasing number of incredible strange occurrences on campus in recent years, public opinion and rumors have once again propelled the haunted school into the spotlight. Ultimately, the school authorities had no choice but to come forward and explain that all of this is merely the result of the natural magnetic field at play, and the apparitions at the school are illusions created by the magnetic field affecting the brain. There are no ghosts in this world.

Feeling somewhat bored, I placed the ceremonial attire on the bed and began to organize it

I was so startled by Li Qiang's words that I almost fell to the ground. It suddenly occurred to me that this guy was still inebriated. Not to mention whether his face full of acne and hair unwashed for several days would scare someone, just based on the strong smell of alcohol emanating from him, wouldn't people consider him a rogue?

Looking at the magnificent teaching buildings in the campus, the lush green pine trees, and the chilly gusts of wind, my first impression of this place is quite good

Li Qiang, this fool, actually started singing pop songs. Not only is his pronunciation extremely poor, but his voice is also as unpleasant as a dying duck. Most importantly, his voice is incredibly loud

The one with the ponytail in the middle is the best!" Li Qiang's shifty eyes darted around, and he immediately reached a conclusion

I will go instead. Seeing the people around us looking at us as if we were fools, I suddenly felt a bit restless.

Qingshan University, a renowned ghost school in Jinhua City
