Chapter 20

In this not-so-spacious high school infirmary, a fierce battle between two female ghosts officially broke out. The fight was extremely intense, involving various forms of combat including scratching, biting, clawing, kicking, pulling hair, and more.

No technique—just pure instinct.

Shi Jian and the female school doctor originally were one sitting and one standing, but as the battle progressed, the female doctor struggled fiercely. Shi Jian grabbed her hair and pulled her down to the ground.

The human and the ghost then completely wrestled and twisted each other on the floor.

After the female doctor was grabbed by the hair, she let out a painful cry. Inspired, she covered her scalp with one hand and tried to grab Shi Jian’s hair with the other.

Shi Jian was prepared for this. She tilted her head back hard, her slender swan-like neck taut and graceful. Flames burned in her eyes, mixed with mockery.

“Huh? Can’t reach! Annoying, right?”

The female doctor: “...” So frustrating!

Finding she really couldn’t reach Shi Jian’s hair, the female doctor opened her mouth again, intending to bite Shi Jian’s arm.

Shi Jian was startled—she didn’t expect biting too!

Reacting quickly, Shi Jian lifted that arm and elbowed the school doctor heavily under the chin.

“Bang!” The sound of bone colliding with flesh.

“Ugh...”

The school doctor’s open mouth was forced shut by Shi Jian’s move; her upper and lower teeth slammed together with the impact, pain showing on her face.

Tang Tian, surprised, clenched her fists and exclaimed, “Nice!”

Shi Jian didn’t have much fighting experience—how would a lady just fight casually? But once a fight started, it was a big deal.

Although Shi Jian often played the number one beauty, she had filmed some action scenes before.

Even during the fight, Shi Jian maintained excellent facial expression control. If you slowed down her movements and removed others, it even showed a certain aesthetic beauty. But in normal speed, it was clear she hit hard and never flinched when facing the female doctor.

Shi Jian’s mind was clouded by anger—she was no longer her usual self.

She was Angry Shi Jian!

She pulled the school doctor’s hair with one hand, used her free arm to press against the doctor’s neck, and her feet weren’t idle either, kicking back and forth with the school doctor.

The school doctor’s eyes widened, bloodshot veins gradually filling them.

Shi Jian’s eyes were wide too, unafraid, meeting the doctor’s gaze head-on: “Look at me, bastard! What are you glaring at? Since your eyes are so useless, just donate them to someone in need.”

Tang Tian, after reacting, immediately jumped in.

She verbally pleaded, “Stop it, everyone, stop fighting. Peace, peace. If you want to fight, go to the dance classroom…”

But she was also sneaking little actions herself.

The school doctor, using all her energy against Shi Jian, still couldn’t help but curse, “Damn it, who’s pinching me?”

It was Tang Tian—she took advantage of the doctor’s distraction to pinch her twice.

The Campus Belle Ghost got especially excited, her blood tears not yet wiped away, already flying toward them, “Sister, I’m coming to help you!”

She imitated Shi Jian and grabbed the school doctor’s hair.Three women, one scene; four females together made the entire infirmary a complete mess, looking like—

So many people, so lively.

...

Female student beating up the school doctor—women fighting!

The audience spread the news like it was New Year's, some people love watching chaos, especially when there's a fight.

Originally, the audience was tired from watching the main group of streamers study. That thing was interesting only at the start, with streamers laughing and studying, which they didn’t need.

But after a while, it felt like they were being forced to study themselves. When it switched to Shi Jian’s stream, it was different.

Shi Jian was thriving in the performance class, and she even had a special celebrity meet-and-greet... not to mention now directly punching the school doctor ghost.

So the audience, already dispersed from the public channel, rushed over to Shi Jian and Tang Tian’s personal livestream.

The viewers were eager for chaos; the comment section went wild, one message after another flooding the screen.

[Fight! Fight!]

[So intense, so awesome!]

[That streamer is amazing, explosive power so strong. Sorry, I apologize for my shallowness—I thought she wouldn’t be that useful, but she’s so fierce and fearless, really gutsy.]

[Maybe old fans can talk about how the streamer shakes her leg when scared.]

[Maybe old fans want to explain, she’s not fierce, maybe just angry? (Though even they don’t understand why her fighting power skyrocketed.)]

[I cried watching, cheers to the friendship between Campus Belle Ghost and Shi Jian, true friendship knows no species, sob sob.]

[Don’t cry yet—Shi Jian and Campus Belle Ghost’s relationship might not be that close. Maybe think broader... like maybe she was slandered as “not that pretty.”]

[Beauty fans of the streamer are already mad—you can question everything about the streamer except her looks. Do you think I, a veteran face fan, get hooked on just any beauty?]

The stubbornness of face fans.

[I also want to be ridden and beaten by the streamer.]

The last comment stood out among the many, breaking all guesses.

Following comments basically turned into “Wear some bitter tea,” “The internet is not a lawless place,” and “Same here.”

Although being ridden and beaten isn’t a good thing, it’s Shi Jian after all.

...

It turned out that after the help of Tang Tian and the Campus Belle Ghost, Shi Jian successfully restrained the school doctor. Shi Jian’s knee pressed on the doctor’s back, her arms wrapped around the doctor’s neck from behind, using her body weight to control her so she couldn’t move.

Though Shi Jian wore a loose, gender-neutral blue-and-white sports uniform, she proved that the school uniform couldn’t seal away top-level beauty.

The blue-and-white uniform looked fresh and clean on her, radiating youthful energy; with her forehead exposed and her simplest ponytail, she was strikingly beautiful. Combined with her current movements, it was beauty mixed with fierceness.

“Keep struggling, keep struggling—I want to see how you’ll scratch now!”

After intimidating the school doctor, Shi Jian seemed to think of something.

She slowly looked into the void, where viewers she couldn’t see were watching, and she sincerely explained.“Actually, I’m not usually like this, do you believe me?”

Fighting while pulling hair does seem to damage the image of a beauty.

Shi Jian didn’t know how the livestream audience reacted, but Campus Belle Ghost couldn’t wait to respond.

She shouted hoarsely, “I believe you!”

“Sis, you’re going all out for me, willing to risk everything.”

Campus Belle Ghost was deeply moved, her eyes about to fall out from crying; she looked up at a 45-degree angle so the tears wouldn’t wash away her eyeballs.

Shi Jian gave a forced smile, “Hehe.”

“She’s really strong...”

Shi Jian refocused on the school doctor. After all this, she was panting heavily and sweating, unable to help but sigh.

Shi Jian had exploded in power, and only with Tang Tian and Campus Belle Ghost’s help did they barely manage to subdue the school doctor, whose strength was great and seemingly endless.

But no matter what, they succeeded!

The two humans and one ghost exchanged a smile, both relaxing a bit. The school doctor pinned to the ground muttered a few muffled curses.

However, Shi Jian felt something was off...

Although they had struggled a lot, subduing the school doctor still seemed a bit too easy?

Campus Belle Ghost had previously revealed that this school doctor’s combat ability was high, a tough ghost, but when Shi Jian fought her, she only felt the doctor was strong and crazy—nothing else.

At this moment, Campus Belle Ghost hesitated and spoke, “Um...”

Shi Jian quickly shushed her.

Don’t say it!

In all films, TV dramas, and literature, as soon as that phrase is spoken, the villain or monster always gives you a big surprise.

If you don’t say it, maybe she won’t transform. √

Tang Tian immediately understood and nodded to Campus Belle Ghost, signaling not to say it; they all tacitly agreed.

The next second, Shi Jian felt herself propelled away as if sitting on a miniature rocket, shooting into the air.

At that moment, only one thought flashed through Shi Jian’s mind—

She hadn’t said the keyword, so how did the school doctor just transform without any honor?

The moment Shi Jian rolled down, she instinctively used her hands to protect her head and face, but the expected pain didn’t come because Tang Tian caught her. Under the force, Tang Tian stepped back several paces. Luckily, neither of them was hurt.

There was no time to even say thanks.

Tang Tian stared at what she saw behind Shi Jian as if seeing something terrifying and gasped.

Even though Shi Jian was mentally prepared by Tang Tian’s expression, when she turned and saw the school doctor’s transformed appearance, she almost fainted.

...

The school doctor was still wearing the same white coat as before, but her once neat face was now terribly shriveled, like loose, sagging old skin left on a corpse.Not only that, her shriveled skin was covered with dense red lines, like blood vessels, which were also swollen; the red lines extended from her face down to her neck, covering all exposed skin, including her hands—definitely enough to trigger trypophobia.

Two surgical knives suddenly appeared in the school doctor’s hands, the blades emitting a cold gleam under the light.

Shi Jian: Might as well turn into a skeleton! What’s the point of keeping that layer of skin?!

The school doctor moved her neck, producing a “creak creak” sound, and she was pleased to see Shi Jian choke on her words.

“How is it?”

After the transformation, the school doctor looked very satisfied with herself and even asked Shi Jian a question.

Shi Jian struggled to speak, “It’s… good…”

The school doctor grinned widely: “It must be terrifying, right? Good—she should have transformed earlier to avoid suffering so much.”

Shi Jian’s lips trembled, “So disgusting.”

School doctor: ???

Livestream audience: ??? Damn, just say something more if you have a mouth.

Shi Jian voiced what most of the audience felt: it’s so disgusting, this monster transformation is seriously ugly!

But some worried about Shi Jian: [Is it really okay for the streamer to provoke the school doctor like this?]

There’s a huge problem. Shi Jian is now fully taunting, gathering all of the school doctor’s hatred. Earlier, the doctor was slapped by Shi Jian, so she waved her surgical knives and stabbed the table, showing off her fighting strength.

The wooden table was pierced through with a big hole by the seemingly small surgical knife.

The school doctor gritted her teeth, “You’re really putting effort into fighting, huh? But now it’s my turn.”

After saying that, the school doctor charged at Shi Jian’s position.

“I’m going to kill you.”

“I’ll dissect you, chop you to pieces, cut you into bits, feed you to the rats!”

“My rats are already starving.”

Before the school doctor reached them, Tang Tian grabbed Shi Jian’s hand, “Run!”

The two of them sprinted wildly.

The roles instantly reversed: before, Shi Jian’s small team chased the school doctor; now, the school doctor was chasing Shi Jian and them.

The livestream erupted with screams, though a small part of the audience sided with the school doctor, hating the streamer and loving bloody scenes.

“Who told the streamer to act recklessly? Give her a lesson! Don’t let her lead us by the nose!”

“Ghosts, all stand up, attack!”

“Are you crazy? How can anyone want to see the streamer die…”

“Mind your own business!”

No matter how noisy the chat got, Shi Jian and Tang Tian were anxiously dodging.

The school doctor stood near the door, blocking their escape. Shi Jian and Tang Tian couldn’t get out and had to run around the room, but Shi Jian already saw the female dorm mate climbing out of the infirmary.The female student originally came to see the school doctor for a stomachache, but unexpectedly first saw the normally calm school doctor suddenly act strange and try to attack students; then Shi Jian and the others fought in a group brawl, beating up the school doctor; and finally, the school doctor transformed into a monster...

Because the scene was too chaotic, no one paid attention to the female student.

She probably took the chance to sneak out when no one noticed her.

Shi Jian shouted to the female student, "Go get the director of discipline."

The female student looked pale with fear but still nodded, "I already said the school doctor turned into a monster..."

Shi Jian said, "No, tell them someone is damaging public property!"

Although the female student was confused, she still nodded and slipped away. The school doctor’s attention was fully on Shi Jian, so she didn’t notice if any flies or bugs got out.

Tang Tian asked Shi Jian, "Can she help?"

After all, on their first day at Qingshan No.1 High School, the streamers learned a lesson at the cost of one streamer’s life—

Not only can’t you trust the teachers at Qingshan No.1 High, you can’t trust the students either.

They can also be dangerous.

Shi Jian answered quickly, "I don’t know either."

"But it’s worth trying, just in case."

Tang Tian: "..." Fine, that’s true, trying won’t cost anything anyway.

...

Fortunately, although the school doctor had turned into a monster and was holding surgical knives that looked lethal, her running speed was still at a normal human level.

Tang Tian pulled Shi Jian as they ran inside the not-so-big but cluttered infirmary, keeping some distance from the school doctor.

Xiaohuagui had already rushed to the door. After the female student left, the door was slammed shut by a gust of wind.

Xiaohuagui originally planned to use the time Tang Tian and Shi Jian circled around the school doctor to open the door and let them escape, but after pushing hard twice, she found the door wouldn’t open at all!

“Can’t get out!” Xiaohuagui’s tone became anxious.

The door wasn’t locked, but it was shut tight. Obviously, it was the school doctor’s doing.

Shi Jian and Tang Tian both felt their hearts sink.

Tang Tian had already been running the second lap with Shi Jian, dodging and hiding. Shi Jian noticed the school doctor’s gaze locked firmly on her. This kind of chase couldn’t continue, so Shi Jian gritted her teeth and signaled Tang Tian.

“Let go of my hand first, I’m going to put on a prop.”

Tang Tian immediately let go. She hadn’t seen Shi Jian use props before and had no idea what it was.

Not only Tang Tian was clueless—Shi Jian’s regular viewers didn’t know either. The giveaways only happened after clearing stages, and the stream would end when the streamer succeeded.

But both Tang Tian and the viewers had the same thought—

If Shi Jian is pulling out a prop now, it must be pretty good and fit this situation well, right?

Then everyone saw a pair of ugly Barbie pink high heels appear in Shi Jian’s hands. While running, Shi Jian freed her feet from the sneakers and slipped on the Barbie pink high heels.

Tang Tian: ???“Running in high heels? That won’t work, Bao!” Tang Tian tried to stop Shi Jian.

Shi Jian wasn’t running very fast even in sneakers; if it weren’t for Tang Tian, a sports student, the surgical knife might already have stabbed into Shi Jian’s stomach.

However, after putting on the Barbie pink high heels, Shi Jian not only felt like walking on flat ground but even ran a bit faster than Tang Tian.

Shi Jian showed a happy expression and pulled Tang Tian along, “Now it’s my turn to lead you.”

“These shoes also have a speed boost!”

Shi Jian remembered Tang Tian mentioning before that some streamers used acceleration props to pass the shift test. She had a prop too, though it looked ugly, but there was no other choice.

Luckily, Shi Jian won the bet.

The Barbie pink high heels were indeed ugly, but their speed-boosting attribute really increased her running speed.

As for running in high heels… haven’t several female celebrities sprinted effortlessly in ten-centimeter stilettos?

...

Shi Jian pulled Tang Tian as they sprinted wildly, then realizing the school doctor’s attention was fully on her, she separated from Tang Tian. Sure enough, the school doctor ignored Tang Tian and focused all her firepower on Shi Jian.

Tang Tian suspected she could even squat in the corner eating sunflower seeds and the school doctor, right beside her, would still ignore her and chase only Shi Jian.

Tang Tian and the livestream viewers: ...

That’s some serious hatred.

But with the prop’s help, the school doctor really couldn’t catch up. Shi Jian went from stumbling in heels to gradually getting used to it, calm and collected, giving off a vibe like a player kiting monsters in a game.

Shi Jian: Running in high heels, da-da-da, as long as there’s a stage in your heart, everywhere is a shining runway!

Xiaohuagui watched the scene and couldn’t help commenting, “She runs, she chases, can’t they both just fly away?”

Xiaohuagui wasn’t worried for her sisters anymore; this was just leading the dumb donkey in circles. Shi Jian was the carrot, the school doctor was the dumb donkey.

“Wanna crack some sunflower seeds together? Caramel flavor.”

Xiaohuagui sat on the table and actually handed Tang Tian a handful of seeds.

Tang Tian: Although tempted, she still felt that with Shi Jian running over there, them cracking seeds here felt kind of inhumane.

Tang Tian refused to join Xiaohuagui in cracking seeds but didn’t just sit idly.

While Shi Jian “kited” the monster, Tang Tian found a broom nearby and occasionally used her unnoticed personal advantage to quietly trip the school doctor, giving her a hit.

Though small moves, they were very effective—making the school doctor dizzy and disoriented.

Shi Jian felt she might have to keep running until someone collapsed first. Though a bit out of breath, she could still hold on.

However, no one expected the heel of the high heels to break. If Shi Jian hadn’t steadied herself against the wall, she would have twisted her ankle.

Shi Jian: “...”

Gotta say, these shoes really live up to their cheap reputation! Definitely prone to breaking anytime, but maybe a little too fast?!

...

Tang Tian kept a close eye on Shi Jian’s side. When she noticed the prop shoes were broken, Tang Tian thought silently, “This is bad.”“Watch this!”

Xiaohuagui, who was originally cracking sunflower seeds, suddenly made up her mind. She stuffed the seeds into her pocket and stood directly in front of Shi Jian.

Xiaohuagui spread her arms and shouted at the school doctor, “As long as I’m here, no one can bully my sisters!”

“Not unless they step over my corpse.”

Xiaohuagui spoke passionately. Shi Jian was a bit surprised—she didn’t expect Xiaohuagui to go this far. “Xiaohua...”

Xiaohuagui didn’t turn around but her voice carried a smile, “Don’t worry, with me here, I’m already a mature ghost. I can protect my friends!”

Shi Jian had helped her, so she couldn’t be a coward at such a critical moment!

The livestream audience’s eyes widened: pretty fiery! Does this mean a ghost vs. ghost fight is about to start?

A ghost actually fighting another ghost for the streamer—such situations are rare.

No, there was no exciting battle. The real situation between Xiaohuagui and the school doctor was—

It ended before it even began.

The school doctor, full of disdain, knocked Xiaohuagui to the ground with one punch, instantly causing a big bump on Xiaohuagui’s head.

The “mature” Xiaohuagui sat on the ground, holding her head, sobbing.

Then two surgical knives stabbed Xiaohuagui several times, blood flowing heavily, and the school doctor actually stepped on Xiaohuagui’s body as she walked past.

The school doctor sneered, hopping twice on Xiaohuagui’s body, and commented, “Pathetically weak.”

Shi Jian: Although she had expected it, she didn’t think Xiaohuagui would fall so quickly.

Shi Jian also suddenly understood how the bump on Xiaohuagui’s head was caused earlier.

“...Are you okay?”

Shi Jian asked the ghost on the ground.

Xiaohuagui didn’t look fine, but ghosts aren’t quite like humans. Her voice still had a sobbing tone, but her body was already moving.

“Sis, wuwuwu, hang on for a bit. I’ll put myself together and come help you...”

Shi Jian understood now—“putting herself together” was still possible. But the school doctor had already charged at Shi Jian. She also knew Shi Jian was running so fast earlier because of the high heels.

Now that the heels were useless, the school doctor raised her surgical knife high, a savage smile on her face.

“Die!”

Shi Jian was trying her best to dodge, but the knife was getting closer and closer.

One meter...

Half a meter...

Ten centimeters...

Just as the sharp surgical knife was about to stab Shi Jian’s neck, the school doctor’s movement suddenly slowed.

Around her floated a number of documents, swirling and circling her.Tang Tian took out her gadget and explained to Shi Jian, "The boss's blessing—it slows down whoever is targeted."

But the slowdown only lasts for three seconds.

Those three seconds of buffer time were enough to escape danger, yet after three seconds, the school doctor surprisingly didn’t continue chasing Shi Jian; instead, she turned toward Tang Tian.

“Annoying flying insects!”

The school doctor realized where those strange trips and sudden hits came from before. Since that was the case, she decided to deal with the most annoying one first—eliminate the student who kept interfering.

The school doctor advanced toward Tang Tian, who gritted her teeth and fled. After running two steps, the doctor suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head.

A high heel was stuck in her hair.

The school doctor was speechless.

Shi Jian didn’t pause and threw the broken other part of the heel at the doctor’s head.

Bang—

It hit again.

Shi Jian: The heels can’t be worn anymore, but they can still smash her.

The gadget was clearly more effective than common brooms or mops. A bump swelled up on the school doctor’s head, and her eyes were swollen from the heel strike.

[On the dual use of high heels?]

[Brilliant, Shi Jian, you really are talented!]

[This is exciting to watch, but even so, it won’t kill the school doctor. It feels like provoking her is just asking for death.]

The school doctor was silent. Silence meant either an outbreak or destruction. Her body, originally withered and covered in vein-like red lines, now emitted a piercing wail as those vein-like structures ruptured, oozing pus-like fluid.

Shi Jian murmured, “Even grosser…”

She felt like vomiting!

Tang Tian and Shi Jian both felt their bodies stiffen—an instinctive reaction to danger. The school doctor transformed again.

Shi Jian swallowed nervously and said to the school doctor, “Don’t look at me, look outside the window—the head of discipline is here.”

The surgical knife in the doctor’s hand grew from normal size to ten meters long. She completely ignored Shi Jian’s words and sneered coldly.

“Heh, I’m not human, but I’m not stupid.”

Think I’m dumb? What’s with this feint?

The school doctor swiftly stabbed toward Shi Jian.

Missed.

But the knife grazed Shi Jian; she could feel the wind from the blade brushing past her ear. Shi Jian felt every cell in her body silently scream.

The knife pierced the wall behind Shi Jian, embedding partway in.

It’s easy to imagine what would happen if it had stabbed a person.

The medical room was small, and with that ten-meter-long knife, no one could escape.“Although you don’t believe it, the head of discipline really has arrived.”

Shi Jian repeated again, even waving toward the door, “Head of discipline!”

As if seeing a loved one.

“Come quickly, the school doctor is destroying the school’s public facilities.”

Shi Jian pointed at the school doctor.

The school doctor with the surgical knife still stuck in the wall: ?

Audience: ?

Tang Tian: ?

Everyone heard the door open, and standing outside was none other than the head of discipline.

...

The female classmate who shared a dorm with Shi Jian really delivered Shi Jian’s words to the head of discipline, though she didn’t say who was destroying the public property.

The head of discipline immediately became energized—here was a performance to boast about.

Without hesitation, he even dropped his work and rushed straight to the medical room, only to see this scene.

Shi Jian walked barefoot quickly toward the head of discipline, holding up her hand to show him, with crystal-clear tears already falling.

A beauty in tears, so pitiful, with red eyes at the corners.

Anyone would think she had suffered a tremendous injustice!

“So scary...” Shi Jian choked up as she explained.

“The school doctor suddenly changed and harmed students. If you hadn’t come, we might all have died here. Look at my wound.”

Shi Jian had a wound on her hand, probably scratched by the school doctor during the fight, very obvious on her fair arm, but if the head of discipline had arrived a few minutes later, the wound might have already healed.

Tang Tian sighed in admiration, marvelous!
