Chapter 243: Four-Star Trial Mission
After removing Zhu Xiu from the elevator, Chen Ge did not leave . He returned to the elevator . Zhang Ya followed behind him, not willing to leave his side . "Since you're out here, why don't we go and create some chaos?"
Chen Ge looked at Zhang Ya behind him . This Red Specter seemed to have grown stronger . The dress that she was wearing seemed to have been knitted from red threads; it looked very real . Zhang Ya kept her head lowered . She stuck close to Chen Ge, her fluttering hair occasionally caressing Chen Ge's arm . There was something that looked like blood lines coming out from underneath the dress, and they seemed ready to drill into Chen Ge's body .
It looked quite scary, and Chen Ge did not expect such a large change would happen to Zhang Ya . In reality, when he had held Zhu Xiu's lips shut, there was an alert on the black phone . Zhang Ya's affection level had broken through Gripped by Passion and was close to reaching the next stage .
Like an overflowing vase, Zhang Ya's minor actions exemplified her affection toward Chen Ge . Do you like ghosts? If you don't, I'll turn everyone you like into one, including yourself .
The blood vessels and black hair gently curled around Chen Ge's blood, and it chilled the man to his core . He turned to look at Zhang Ya, but Zhang Ya pretended like she did not know anything, just following behind him .
I can feel the murderous intent . I need to distract her somehow .
Chen Ge pressed the button for 23rd floor . He had decided to return to the 24th floor . Actually, he did not want to act so rashly, but he was reminded of an issue .
Normally, Zhang Ya would return to his shadow on her own, but this time, it did not seem like Zhang Ya had any interest in returning!

He was afraid that if he did not find something for Zhang Ya to do, he would be her next target . Love and hate were extreme emotions . The way Zhang Ya looked him made him feel uncomfortable; it was like she was hesitating over turning him into a doll as well . That way, they could be together forever .
The door slowly closed . Chen Ge's hair rose on the back of his neck . He suddenly wished to be back in the room with the rest of the members . He felt safer with them . It was complicated getting back to the 24th floor . Chen Ge hid himself in the corner and took out the black phone when Zhang Ya was not looking .
"Resolving her last wish, Zhang Ya's affection level has reached Gripped by Passion!
"Specter's Favored, congratulations for completing Zhang Ya's Bloody Heart Mission with a hundred percent completion rate!
"Choice of Reward One: Unlocking three-star scenario, Western Jiujiang's Private Academy! The scenario includes seven mini scenarios: White Valentines, Red Dancing Shoes, Cursed Love Letter, Female Dormitory, Crying Chairs, the Hanging Man, and the Stink!
"Warning: After you select this reward, Red Specter Zhang Ya will be confined to the scenario!
"Choice of Reward Two: Remove all scenarios related to Zhang Ya, leaving only the Hanging Man and the Stink . This will downgrade Western Jiujiang's Private Academy to a two-star scenario, but Zhang Ya's movement will be unlimited!"
The message surprised Chen Ge . He did not expect that Western Jiujiang's Private Academy would be a three-star scenario and Zhang Ya would be related to five mini scenarios!
The Third Sick Hall was judged a three-star scenario probably due to the ten patients and the creatures behind the door, but Western Jiujiang's Private Academy was judged as three-star simply due to Zhang Ya .

She's scarier than I thought!
After swallowing some of the creatures and the old director in the Third Sick Hall, Zhang Ya had grown stronger, her malice increasing, the blood in her dress glowing brighter .
If I pick the first reward, I'll get a complete three-star scenario, but I'll lose Zhang Ya's aid whenever I'm out of the Haunted House .
Chen Ge turned back to sneak a look at Zhang Ya . He thought long and hard before selecting reward number two . He was not afraid that if he picked reward one, he was not going to leave the elevator alive . Furthermore, he felt like he was the only person Zhang Ya could rely on . He felt like giving as much warmth as he could to someone who had suffered so much in her life . He clicked option two, and a new message appeared .
"Are you sure you want to select Reward Number Two?"
"Yes . "
"Congratulations for unlocking the two-star scenario, Western Jiujiang's Private Academy! This scenario is a gift from completing the Bloody Heart Mission, so it has no hidden missions and no security threats!"
No security threats? Meaning I can allow my visitors to explore the place to their hearts' content?
Since the black phone had said so, it should be fine . This meant that Chen Ge had been gifted a two-star scenario, so he was quite happy . Then another message appeared .
"Specter's Favored, congratulations for completing Zhang Ya's Bloody Heart Mission with a hundred percent completion rate! Successfully triggered the Trial Mission for four-star scenario—School of the Afterlife!
"Warning: four-star scenarios are extremely dangerous! The Trial Mission for School of the Afterlife is comprised of eight side missions and one final mission . The active time to complete them is three months .
"Currently, you have completed seven side missions at Western Jiujiang's Private Academy and Mu Yang High School . After completing the 8th side mission, Eternal Life, you will unlock the final mission!
"Side Mission 8: Eternal Life (In an undisclosed underground morgue, there's a group who seek eternal life) . Mission Venue: Western Jiujiang's Medical University .
"Final Mission: Currently locked . "
Chen Ge pocketed the phone when he was done reading it . Every increase in the star of a scenario would double or triple the difficulty . When he conducted the Trial Mission for the Third Sick Hall, he would have died if he had faced the thin monster alone . If Zhang Ya had not been there to help him, he would not have had the chance to enter the blood door .
Looking at this from a different perspective, Zhang Ya herself was the reason Western Jiujiang Private Academy was a three-star scenario . How scary Zhang Ya was equaled to how scary a three-star scenario was .
I should just ignore the four-star mission for now . Three-star missions already have the presence of Red Specter, so the four-star mission probably has something worse .
Chen Ge tried to understand that world, but the more he found out, the more confused he became .
The active time for clearing School of the Afterlife is three-months . I still have time . The most immediate concern is to deal with ghost stories society and solve the hidden mission inside the Third Sick Hall .
Chen Ge followed the introduction on the flyer and returned to the 24th floor, but this time, he did not enter alone .

Tales of Teleios
Born as a noble free-man, the only daughter of a lord, Arete of Syracuse was an ambitious young woman who would do anything to succeed her father's position. One day, her father was exposed of his secret movement attempted to overthrow the emperor... Tales of Teleios set in the ancient Greco-Roman. It is a very standard adventure, low fantasy, alternate historical story with common archetype and predictable storyline. It is a form of artistic expression. 🏳️🌈 LGBTQIA+ Content Tag 🙇 ESL Author 📖 A Very Brief Summary 📖 (Unavoidable Spoiler) This story is about Arete of Syracuse (the protagonist) who was on a journey to find a mysterious Teleios of Eretria. Travelling with her servant Matea, her maternal cousin Agave and a former hetaira named Pryne. Throughout their journey, they discovered the conspiracy behind the Emperor Nero's eugenic system. This story explores the topic of human advancement. Tracing the idea back to the Greco-Roman world, the idea of eugenicism started when humans attempted to achieve perfection through breeding enhancements. However, The Three Elders realised that they couldn't afford waiting on the natural process of evolution. Thus, they came out with the controversial idea of experimentation through the building up of monstrosities using different body parts of animals and attempting to achieve immortality through taking over the younger human bodies. Teleios means perfection, and the center of this story is about the journey of four very flawed characters: The protagonist, Arete was a skinny noble woman who was born premature and had amenorrhea. She was supposed to be drowned by the order of Emperor Claudius due to her imperfection. While Matea was born a perfect healthy person, but has had everything taken away from her. Agave who was born out of wedlock but was fortunate enough to be adopted into a noble family. And Pryne who was on her way to have a loving family but drifted instead throughout the world after making a decision that she deeply regretted and needed to overcome her sense of guilt along the way. The story will explore some of the most controversial topics which involved detestable ancient practices such as pedarastry, where as the Empress Sporus, being the victim of it, coping with her tragic experience through acceptance of the oppressor and her struggle for not being able to conceive. In summary, the topics were largely related to gender and sex. There will be violence and gore, as most of the fantasy works does. while the author here would like to inform the readers that this is not an erotica, nor it has any sentences that involve depiction of sexual activities. Therefore, this story is not for those who seek thrill on its sexual content. A dialogue of Empress Sporus: "The world itself abused us to a level unimaginable! Yet we have to learn to love the world! Simply to live! To make our life a little easier, a little happier. So what is wrong with that? Are you expecting me to go against the emperor when he is the one and only reason I became the empress?" Said Sporus.
