CH 137.2

Teacher Zhao understood what Bai Lixin meant, and stumbled on his feet. He almost fell to the floor but managed to grab onto the window sill by the side.

Teacher Zhao, “You mean, that floor?!”

His voice went up in agitation, “Are you crazy?! Who do you think lives there? There’s a murderous maniac living in there!”

“Do you know what caused the black walls in Class C?”

“It’s all because of that monster!”

“That monster killed everyone and then set fire to the Class C room, and burnt the dead students to ashes.”

“The fire turned that room black! By the time we got to the room, the floor was littered with charred bodies that were clumped together and burnt beyond recognition. Not only were we unable to separate the students, we were unable to identify them.”

“Over twenty students died in that fire.”

“That monster is an arsonist, a murderer, a demon.”

“It took a lot of effort for the school to catch that monster and put it in the corridor, what are you thinking?!”

[Ding!]

[Congratulations player, task [The Truth About the Fire] is 80% unlocked, please keep up the good work.]

[The difficulty factor of this task is B, you will be rewarded 6000 mall points upon completion.]

Bai Lixin was unmoved and he looked at Teacher Zhao, “If that monster died, is there any possibility of using that floor?”

Teacher Zhao, “It’s a monster, there’s no way it could die.”

Bai Lixin, “What if it does?”

Teacher Zhao hesitated for two seconds, “If it really died, the rest of the floor could be used. There was a classroom so there should be some tables and chairs in there, although they’d be a bit worn out, they are usable.”

Bai Lixin, “But how can we prove that the monster is dead?”

Teacher Zhao gave Bai Lixin a look, he hesitated for two seconds, but still told Bai Lixin how to prove it. “My senior said that the monster wore a mask on its face. It is difficult to remove so if we can get that mask, we can use it as proof of the monster’s death.”

“But that monster is crazy, it won’t let anyone get close to it.”

Bai Lixin’s expression suddenly became subtle, his eyes flickered at the gloomy Teacher Zhao, and then he looked down at the clear ground and suddenly burst out laughing.

Teacher Zhao was a little irritated from the laugh, “Why are you laughing?”

Bai Lixin, “Well, nothing, I thought of something funny.”

Teacher Zhao, “Crazy.”

Bai Lixin: “……”

How can you call a student crazy? Where are your ethics as a teacher?!

Today was the 12th day. Just when the players thought there would be no exams this time too, an emergency notice was suddenly given to each class.

The exam will be held at 2pm sharp.

Exam content: Foreign Language.

Exam time: 150 minutes.

Full score of 300 points.

The class was in an uproar as soon as the notice came out and all the players cursed and cursed their books. Some started flipping through their textbooks, while others started doing questions furiously.

“What the hell, who sets an exam in the afternoon and only gives notice in the morning, this school is crazy!”

“This is an assault, not a surprise.”

“It’s so hard.”

“What’s this letter? Why do I think I’ve seen it in a dream? It says it knew me but I didn’t!”

“Hey, you guys. Were we taught any content on foreign language in class?”

“What a joke. He speaks his own things, I speak mine, I’m a winner if I could understand one sentence.”

“……”

“Watch out everyone, learn from your mistakes, don’t cheat this time, you can’t cheat even if you don’t know anything. Don’t use private chats either, it will be discovered!”

“You can still get 30 points if you don’t cheat. Only fools would cheat and lose everything.”

Just as everyone was cursing and studying in earnest, an NPC teacher the players were unfamiliar with appeared at the classroom door.

The players went silent, not knowing what this NPC was up to.

But to the players’ disappointment, he didn’t do anything, he just looked around the room and his eyes fell on Bai Lixin.

Bai Lixin and the man eyed each other for a few seconds before the man said in a low voice, “Excuse me, is there a player named Bai Lixin in this class? You dropped your student meal card, come out and get it.”

Bai Lixin: “……”

What an old-fashioned excuse.

“Oh, so it’s just a meal card delivery, that scared the hell out of me. I thought he was here ro grab someone to be tortured.”

“If this dog school dares to mess with me again, I’ll blow it up immediately.”

“I’ve been thinking about blowing up the school for days.”

“Cheer up, I’ve seen some rankers blow up copies, you can become the leading boss of the copy world with just a click!”

“I’m really going to go crazy if you guys keep fooling me.”

Bai Lixin and Su Fan looked at each other, “???”

So there are people who would believe such a lame excuse!

—

In the live broadcast room.

[Different world, same student dream. I remembered that when I was a kid, I also wanted to bomb the school. We even made up a song for it.]

[“The Sun Shines in the Sky”?]

[Hahahaha, different world, same song. It’s strange, there was no internet back then either, how did this song spread all over the country?]

[Transfer students? A distant relative passed it on?]

[The Ten Unsolved Mysteries of National Unity]

[I don’t think this Teacher Sheng was here to return a meal card, was he?

[Is it because he misses the senior in Red?]

[I don’t know, but we’ll see.]

—

In the silent and empty corridor, Bai Lixin reached out to the middle-aged man in front of him, “My meal card, Teacher Sheng.”

Teacher Sheng’s face showed a touch of embarrassment, he glanced at the camera overhead from the corner of his eye and said in a tiny voice that only two people could hear, “Come with me, Chairman Huang wants to see you.”

Chairman Huang?

Bai Lixin’s gaze on Teacher Sheng became scrutinizing.

Teacher Sheng’s body tensed, and his originally cold face grew colder but upon closer inspection, one would find that his shoulders were trembling faintly.

Underneath the hawkish eyes was a fragile expression.

As if afraid that Bai Lixin would see through him, he used a more icy tone, “Let’s go, Chairman Huang doesn’t have that much time to be waiting for you.”

As they walked down the school building, Teacher Sheng handed Bai Lixin a pill, “Take this first.”

Bai Lixin took the pill out of the package and made a move to put it into his mouth, when Xiao Jing suddenly screamed in Bai Lixin’s mind: [Don’t eat!]

Bai Lixin’s fingers turned and he put the pill to the tip of his nose.

He paused after a gentle sniff of the ingredients inside, and Teacher Sheng’s tone became a little impatient, “What are you waiting for? Eat it quickly.”

[Don’t eat! You can’t eat it!] Xiao Jing yelled in his head: [It must be a drug to weaken you! Don’t take it!]

He was yelling and already breaking down: [Please, don’t take it, don’t go with him, run away!]

[I was wrong about Sheng’er. He’s changed, he’s become a demon who assists evil, he’s not Sheng’er, he’s not.]

In the midst of Teacher Sheng’s sharp gaze and Xiao Jing’s roars, Bai Lixin shook the pill in his hand, “Is this a laxative?”

Xiao Jing’s cries came to an abrupt halt.

Teacher Sheng’s expression was slightly dumbfounded, “How did you know that?”

Bai Lixin, “I’m class representative for Dr. Dijia’s class, I should at least be able to tell the chemical composition.”

“Chairman Huang wants to see me and you’re making me take a laxative?”

“Isn’t that an obvious way to make a fool of me?”

“I won’t eat.”

Teacher Sheng pursed his lips, and then his tense shoulders abruptly loosened. His body, which was like a sharp blade, instantly lost all its edge.

“I’m saving you.”

“Don’t ask too much, eating it will only do you good, not harm, knowing too much won’t do you any good.”

Bai Lixin looked like a clear mountain spring with his white shirt, lovingly soft sun-kissed hair and smooth and beautiful face.

Not only did he look like a gentle, harmless spring, but the eyes were also clean and seemingly harmless.

But it was these eyes that made Teacher Sheng feel as if all his disguises had been seen through.

Even though the eyes weren’t sharp and fierce, Teacher Sheng felt a sense of oppression.

He had nowhere to hide under that gaze.

Those eyes were like a sea of smoke, and it was as if they knew everything and could see through everything.

Teacher Sheng held his breath, his fists hidden in his sleeves clenched tightly and his back became tense.

He looked around and made sure that no one was there before he said in an almost pleading tone, “Please eat it, I’ll tell you why.”

“Hurry up before it’s too late.”
