I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 36.1

Ling Xiran woke Lin Xinghe up already, so she didn't plan to go back to sleep. She glanced at the time—the sun was rising over the horizon.

She gave Ling Xiran another mission: to patrol the cruise ship and look for misbehaving ligui.

Ling Xiran asked, "If it’s misbehaving, can I eat it?"

Lin Xinghe glanced at her.

After Ling Xiran experienced the feeling of combat, she became more bloodthirsty.

Lin Xinghe asked, "Do you feel pain?"

Ling Xiran said, "It's a little bit, but it's bearable."

Lin Xinghe asked again, "Eating something can relieve the pain?"

Ling Xiran nodded vigorously.

Lin Xinghe said: "The staff on the ship will be valuable property in the future. After you eat one, you will lose a unit of free labor. If you are hungry, try to bear it or eat other souls, like those of animals and plants. The taste might not be as good, but if you don’t train your appetite now, it will be easy to go crazy and lose your humanity in the future.”

Ling Xiran replied, "Master, don't worry! I will control my desires. I will not become a person, ah, no, a ghost, consumed by desires." She clenched her fists and continued, "I will work hard to complete the task and promise not to eat the ligui. If I meet those who are disobedient or violate the treaty, I will just lick them!"

She gulped as she said this.

Lin Xinghe said, "Okay, good luck."

She thought of something and added, "By the way, how much do you know about the second round of the massacre?"

Ling Xiran said: "I don't know much because we always hid in the dark room without sound or light. We only knew that on the eighth day, the cruise ship would be occupied by unknown creatures that carried out a second round of massacres based on outside voices..."

"Killing passengers?"

"Probably. After the passengers died, they became ghosts and got massacred again, but I don’t know about the staff. I don’t even know if the number of the staff went down..."

Lin Xinghe got a general understanding and nodded.

Ling Xiran waved, "Master, I'm leaving."

Lin Xinghe sent Ling Xiran away and called for Steward Lin to bring her breakfast.

Steward Lin never imagined that his companions on the cruise would fall into such a situation. When Lin Xinghe got on the ship, he never imagined that a harmless-looking girl like her would kill and torture his spirit. Then, she even encouraged her companions to study and torture his companions by similar means. Finally, she forced the captain to sign an unfair treaty. Now, he could only serve her with a standard service smile on his face and his hatred hidden in his heart.

"Is Steward Lin disrespecting me?"

"Of course not, it's my honor to serve you."

Lin Xinghe said with a smile, "Steward Lin really has a very professional work attitude."

Steward Lin replied blandly,  “Thank you very much.”

Lin Xinghe smiled and stated, "I have a few questions to ask. I hope you can cooperate with me regarding the information about the second round of the massacre."

Seeing the nervous look on Steward Lin's face, Lin Xinghe smiled again, "You don't have to be nervous, I’m just asking. It would be better for you to answer me honestly~"

Lin Xinghe pet Xiao Xue Ji, who was cuddled in her arms.

Xiao Xue Ji hissed fiercely in her heart.

It's just that little cats were cute no matter how fierce they acted, especially this ragdoll cat with bottle-blue eyes.

Xiao Xue Ji seemed to realize that she was not fierce enough and turned into a little girl, complete with the familiar five mouths, and hissed at Steward Lin.

Although Steward Lin had seen the situation in which the ragdoll cat turned into a green snake, now that she had become a little girl with five mouths, he couldn't help being shocked.

...What a monster!

Seeing Lin Xinghe keep stroking its head, Steward Lin said in his heart—

...The mother of a monster.

He simpered, "Please feel free to ask."

Lin Xinghe inquired, "What kind of creature was responsible for the second massacre? Don't have to answer that you don't know; it's impossible for you not to. After so many reincarnations, I don't believe you haven't met them."

Steward Lin said, "They are called hadal ogres."

This was the first time Lin Xinghe heard the name "hadal ogre," and she felt it was quite interesting.

"Oh?"

Steward Lin said, "We have been on this cruise ship since we became conscious, and we don't remember what happened before. All our souls are sealed in this cruise ship. Long, long ago, our cruise ship was not called The Alpine Rimerose, but The Laughing Spirit.”

Lin Xinghe asked, "Have there been two massacres every reincarnation since then?"

Steward Lin shook his head and explained, "No, the route we traveled then was different from the one we do now. Our cruise ship was lost in the ocean, and everyone else was unaware of our existence. Until one day, the hadal ogres appeared, occupied our cruise ship, and changed the name to The Alpine Rimerose. From that day on, the reincarnation cycles officially began."

Lin Xinghe made some conclusions in her mind and inquired, "Oh, so you are all victims? The Halal Ogres forced you to kill people?"

Steward Lin replied, "Yes! On the eighth day, the Halal Ogres come aboard and slaughter the spirits of the passengers. All the staff on our cruise are actually the chefs of the Halal Ogres—we were forced to search, clean, cook, plate, and serve their meal in a large banquet."

Lin Xinghe asked again, "Do the Halal Ogres know of the safe space behind the painting in the exhibition hall?"

"I’m not sure."

"If you knew there were people in there, why didn’t you go inside?"

"Couldn’t get in."

"Why couldn’t you get in?"

"I don’t really know why, but when there is light or sound inside, the boundaries of the safe space have openings, so we can chuck stuff inside. As long as the light and sound inside disappear, however, the holes in the walls disappear."

Lin Xinghe said thoughtfully, "Okay, I understand, you can leave now."
