Chapter 155: Perfect Score Clear, I'm a Lying Dog

Swoosh!!

The moment it lunged forward, the Cursed Eye Supernatural Entity's deformed hand lashed out, and the heads of the two mangled corpses burst like rotten watermelons.

"Is another supernatural entity interfering with the exam?"

Shaking the blood off its hands, the Cursed Eye Supernatural Entity frowned.

Then, the two corpses on the ground reacted again, their surfaces covered in dense Tattoo Cursed Eyes, transforming into its likeness.

The headless bodies stiffly straightened up, and the eyes on them opened, staring intently at the Cursed Eye Supernatural Entity.

"Hmph, Child's Play!"

The Cursed Eye Supernatural Entity opened its mouth, and a blue-black tongue slithered out from its throat like a snake's. At its tip, a grotesque eyeball unfurled, swirling like a vortex. In an instant, the two corpses seemed thrown into a furnace, rapidly melting.

At that moment, the Cursed Eye Supernatural Entity caught on.

"This is... I see."

"Using a curse against me? Showing Off Before an Expert!"

A cold smirk curled on the Cursed Eye Supernatural Entity's lips, and it even felt a sense of humiliation.

A minute later.

The surrounding environment shattered like a mirror, and as it tore through, the Cursed Eye Supernatural Entity broke free.

Its gaze finally Peeked at the real surroundings.

The environment hadn't changed, but Ji Yan and Liu Congming, whose eyeballs should have been gouged out, stood unharmed in a corner, staring at it with an unreadable expression.

"Children, the game is over!"

The Cursed Eye Supernatural Entity grinned, its blue-black tongue extending like a venomous snake in the darkness.

But Ji Yan suddenly said, "Teacher, don't you hear something?"

"What sound?"

Before the Cursed Eye Supernatural Entity could react, the Announcement Sound rang out.

"Ding! This exam has officially ended. Congratulations to the remaining candidates for passing the Passing Line. Please proceed to the Basketball Court Center for Score Calculation."

The Cursed Eye Supernatural Entity froze.

The dense eyes on its body glared fiercely at Ji Yan and the other, their gaze filled with intense reluctance, as if a juicy morsel had slipped right from its lips...

"You two are really lucky. A few seconds later, and both your pairs of eyes would have been gouged out!"

The Cursed Eye Supernatural Entity slowly retracted its blue-black tongue, its words still dripping with bone-chilling coldness.

But Liu Congming suddenly laughed, "Teacher, that's not luck."

"We timed it perfectly, including you—we calculated everything."

"And you got one thing wrong: I barely scraped by the Passing Line, but my Brother Ji... he cleared it with a Perfect Score!"

Liu Congming patted Ji Yan's shoulder, and the Cursed Eye Supernatural Entity snapped to attention, looking at its waist—the Bells were already gone.

Jingle.

Ji Yan opened his palm, holding two clinking metal Bells: "Teacher, thanks."

The Cursed Eye Supernatural Entity's face grew even more sinister: "How did you manage that? Tricks like the Curse Illusion can't fully block my perception."

"What other tricks did you pull!"

As it spoke, it suddenly realized that in this room, there were no Drawing Paper eyes at all.

That meant the Cursed Eye Supernatural Entity hadn't Peeked at Ji Yan and Liu Congming through any Drawing Paper eyes!

Then through which eye had it Peeked?

Doubt churned in the Cursed Eye Supernatural Entity's mind.

Ji Yan grabbed the bells, a faint smile curling on his lips. "That's something you'll have to figure out slowly."

"You're the teacher; if you can't solve the problem, do you expect the student to teach you?"

Ji Yan patted Liu Congming on the shoulder and turned to leave the room.

The Cursed Eye Supernatural Entity, already simmering with rage, had its pent-up resentment further stoked by Ji Yan's cold mockery. The most infuriating part was that Ji Yan had achieved a Perfect Score Clear. According to the instance rules, the [Spade 9] belonged to the player, meaning it would soon be parasitic within him. A wave of intense humiliation spread through its mind...

...

Outside the corridor.

"Brother Ji, you really pulled it off."

Liu Congming caught up, rubbing his right eye. "But man, that curse of yours dragged me into the illusion too, nearly broke me!"

"Visual pollution is terrifying."

"Guess what I saw? I saw a bunch of goblins surrounding me. I thought I was about to get a live VR hentai experience, but damn, I was the princess!"

"Thankfully, the hallucination faded in time, or I'd have a psychological scar for life!"

Liu Congming shuddered at the memory, not wanting to recall it at all.

"Don't worry, this sacrifice will soon feel worth it."

Ji Yan offered a brief reassurance.

The curse in his hand was naturally the reward from the [Undead Hospital] instance, where Xu Xin had forcibly ripped out the root of the [Tongue-Curse Supernatural]'s tongue and gifted it to Ji Yan.

"Tongue-Curse Nightmare—activates a curse that subjects the target's perspective to 3 minutes of visual pollution, with a cooldown of 20 minutes."

Ji Yan's method of stealing the bells from the Cursed Eye Supernatural Entity was simple.

He had Liu Congming remove the gauze, allowing the Cursed Eye Supernatural Entity to spy on their hiding spot. Then, as the target approached, Ji Yan activated the curse ability of [Tongue-Curse Nightmare], causing both Liu Congming and the Cursed Eye Supernatural Entity to suffer visual hallucination pollution simultaneously.

In other words, before the Cursed Eye Supernatural Entity even entered the room, it was already trapped in the illusion. By the time it noticed something was off, Ji Yan had already taken the bells from its waist.

Judging by the Cursed Eye Supernatural Entity's startled reaction, the visual pollution of [Tongue-Curse Nightmare] was quite effective!

It was just a bit rough on Liu Congming.

Soon, the remaining players gathered back in the basketball court.

The players from the Hearts and Clubs factions were all wiped out.

Only the four players from Spades and Diamonds passed the exam.

The suit-wearing man, Shi Kejian, fixed a murderous gaze on Ji Yan. "You killed my brother and stole the [Death Dice]."

"Killing for loot, aren't you ruthless, friend from Spade 1?"

Though Shi Kejian was smiling, his tone was icy and piercing.

"The guy walked right into the line of fire, and the loot was shoved into my hands."

"How is that killing for loot?"

Facing that glare, Ji Yan replied casually. "I even thought he was some NPC handing out welfare. That warm gift caught me off guard."

The insult clearly packed a punch, instantly filling Shi Kejian's eyes with bloodshot veins. Luo Xixi, standing nearby, watched the tense standoff, her eyes flickering with unreadable thoughts...

Just then, the game's Announcement Sound broke the atmosphere.

"Ding! Congratulations to the examinees for passing the test. The following are the test scores for the four examinees:"

"Spades player 'Shi Kejian' overall score: 89 points."

"Spades player 'Luo Xixi' overall score: 71 points."

"Diamonds player 'Liu Congming' overall score: 91 points."

"Diamonds player 'Ji Yan' overall score: Full marks, 100 points!"

"Corresponding rewards based on scores have been distributed to each examinee's toolbar. Please claim them in time. Today's test has concluded. Best of luck to the examinees in continuing their efforts~"

"Full marks?!"

Upon hearing Ji Yan's score, Luo Xixi covered her mouth with her delicate hand, her eyes wide with astonishment. Shi Kejian, though surprised and suspicious, had an even darker expression on his face.

Wait, how did he get those bells?!

Ji Yan's eyes flickered. This way, he now had two playing cards in hand, and the instance plot could officially move forward...

Beside him, Liu Congming was clearly very satisfied with his own score, raising his hand and cheering loudly.

"Woo-hoo! Brother Ji is the MVP! I'm the carry dog who just got carried!!"
