128: Chapter 128 Dormitory Head

Chen Mo heard this and spread out his fingers, displaying the white liquid on his hand.

The Priest immediately leaned in close to Chen Mo's palm and sniffed, then tilted his head high, as if he had smelled some high-end perfume.

He exclaimed, "Hmm~ so it's the smell of wax oil."

"This scent is very fragrant, very fresh!"

Seeing the perverted expression on the other's face, Chen Mo and the others all felt goosebumps rise all over their bodies.

What kind of priest just comes up and casually sniffs someone else's palm?

"It seems... Priest, you are quite knowledgeable about wax oil." Jiang Xinyi suddenly spoke up.

The Priest nodded and said, "That is correct. I am but a humble person; the reason I came to this small town is because I admire those two great The Artist."

Jiang Xinyi's eyes narrowed slightly as she continued to press him.

"Which two The Artist?"

"This..."

The Priest revealed a confused expression, scratched his head, and said, "I forgot!"

Lu Chengfeng leaned into Chen Mo's ear and whispered, "Chen Mo, could it be that these two The Artist are the BOSS of this dungeon? Since the plot has only just begun, the Priest is playing dumb on purpose."

"A very obvious information block." Chen Mo shrugged.

"Although I have forgotten their names, I know... they return to this small town every once in a while."

"Aren't The Artist all strange people? They go out irregularly to seek inspiration, and after replenishing their brains with new creative ideas, they return to output the information from their brains."

"Art is nothing more than the work of absorption and output, and it is no exception for certain people gifted with heaven-sent wisdom."

"Their brains are magical spaces. Just by thinking, a cigarette, or perhaps with a bit of whiskey, they can give birth to world-class ideas."

Hearing the Priest's words, Su Qing also whispered.

"Chen Mo, the two The Artist he mentioned should be the guys who make the wax figures, right?"

"They will return. We smashed their artwork right at the beginning. The Artist will definitely be angry when they see their hard work destroyed."

"Maybe they will come back tonight to kill us? Chen Mo, what should we do?"

Seeing the panicked expression on Su Qing's face, Chen Mo remained calm.

"Relax! Everything in the Thriller Game is reasonable."

"If The Artist return to kill us, then there must be a way for us to fight back; we just need to find it."

Xu Xiaoman nodded after listening.

"That's right! Teacher Jiyin also said the same thing. Chen Mo, what you said must be correct!"

What the hell?

If it wasn't something Teacher Jiyin said, then my words have no reference value?

Student Xiaoman... I am the one actually carrying you to rank up right now. Can you put aside your Teacher Jiyin for a moment?

After interacting with Xu Xiaoman a few times, Chen Mo could confirm one thing.

Teacher Jiyin is a girl. If Teacher Jiyin were a boy, Student Xiaoman would likely have long since become a little lamb who had her feelings deceived.

"Then... dear outlanders, you shall stay in the Dormitory tonight. I will arrange your accommodation."

"Thank you, Priest. Please lead the way." Chen Mo made a gesture of invitation.

"Wait!"

Jiang Xinyi raised her arm to interrupt, then signaled for everyone to form a circle.

Her eyes were filled with a questioning gaze as she stared at Chen Mo.

"Chen Mo, why are you so sure that the place he is taking us to is safe?"

"What if... the Priest is actually a liar, and he is actually the The Artist who makes human wax figures?"

"Will we be locked directly in some dark place, knocked unconscious, and then watch our companions be turned into wax figures one by one?"

Hearing Jiang Xinyi's words, the others also cupped their chins in thought.

At the same time, they gasped in cold air.

In a situation where information is incomplete, Jiang Xinyi's words seemed very reasonable.

"Indeed, he is the first NPC we have encountered so far. According to the usual tropes of the Thriller Game, the first NPC is definitely a ghost."

"And... I don't know what the dungeon you entered before was like?"

"Anyway, the dungeon I entered last time also had a lodging arrangement segment, but that was popped up directly by the Thriller Game system, not led by an NPC."

Su Qing listened to Meng Zhou's analysis, combining it with the No. 18 Hospital dungeon she and Chen Mo had entered.

She realized it really was like that.

Back then at No. 18 Hospital, it was the system that prompted them to go to the Dormitory to sleep; it wasn't the Dean or the Shoe Ghost who guided them.

"Although I don't know what you are talking about? After all, I am a true newcomer to this game."

"But I know... there are many criminal suspects who use guidance to lure victims to a certain place." Lu Chengfeng gave his opinion.

Obviously, under the current severe lack of information and the backdrop of the eerie atmosphere.

Coupled with the psychological influence of veterans who already had experience clearing dungeons, everyone became more cautious.

"Blooming Chrysanthemum: Are these people overthinking it? This is a necessary node of the main plot; it cannot be changed at all."

"I Am Not Mentally Ill: Hehehe, sometimes being too smart and too sharp can actually lead people to make the wrong choice."

"Break Up With Math: Many Children Many Blessings is smarter than any of them. He has cleared two S-rank dungeons in a row, and his branch personality is decisive; he shouldn't be influenced by the words of others."

"Lao Liu: But it is precisely because he is the smartest that he will definitely be more cautious than the others. I think this time, Many Children Many Blessings will definitely make the wrong choice; he won't dare to stay in the Dormitory."

"Mr. Rabbit: Lao Liu, did you win the lottery? You're so active."

"Lao Ba: Hehehe, he didn't win the lottery; he just lost his gems!"

"Lao Liu: Hehe, Lao Ba, how about we make another bet?"

"Lao Ba: No more bets. I am a man who knows when to stop while ahead."

At first, hearing the analysis from the club president and the others, Chen Mo felt a bit hesitant.

After all, the Administrator had said that the plot of this dungeon was completely different from what they had mastered.

Therefore... it is very likely that what Brother Chrysanthemum said—that there are ghosts at night and hiding in the Dormitory is safe—is invalid information.

But when he saw Lao Liu, the culprit, jump out.

Then, the opposite of what Lao Liu said must be the correct answer.

Staying in the Dormitory at night is safe; you won't be attacked by ghosts!

"How is your discussion going? You there, young man, I see a certain artistic temperament about you."

"If you choose to stay, then this set of keys will be kept by you."

As he spoke, the Priest took out a set of golden keys from his pocket and handed them to Chen Mo.

"With this set of keys, you are the Dormitory Head. You have the right to decide whether or not your roommates can go out!"
