Chapter 117: Father

The female student had encountered many people at the office building. Whenever she asked if the person would help her, either they would run away or stay out of pity. It was her first time running into someone like Gao Ming.

“No. You’re not the homework...” The girl looked like her secret was exposed. She carried the textbook and ran upstairs.

“Don’t go!” Gao Ming followed her. “I notice you are different from the other ghost students. They try to make themselves look human, but your appearance is noticeably special.”

Gao Ming grabbed the girl’s arm. It was slender, weak and warm.

“Wait. You’re a human?! A human who helps ghosts?!” Gao Ming confirmed his suspicion and pulled the girl to the corner. “I won’t blame you. Everyone has a reason to do things. I just have some questions for you.”

The girl looked horrible. She must have been through a lot of torture. She was a girl accepted by ghosts. It was hard to imagine the price she must have paid.

“How long have you been here?”

Facing Gao Ming’s questions, the girl shook her head and hugged the books tight.

“Why are you so scared? Do you want me to bring you out of the office building?”

Hearing that, the girl shook her head harder. “I can’t leave the office building! Never!”

Knowing that Gao Ming wouldn’t easily let her go, the girl led Gao Ming to the male toilet on the second floor. She closed the door and entered the fourth cubicle with Gao Ming.

“The number 4 is the luckiest number at this school.” The girl hugged the books carefully, afraid that they might get wet.

“Does your father not know about the state you’re currently in? Does he not want to take revenge for you?” Gao Ming adjusted his tone. He suspected the girl’s father was Situ An.

“It was father who sewed my eyes together. This is his love. Other kids were eaten by the school, but I am still alive because his weighted love allowed me to live.” When the girl mentioned her father, she stood on tiptoe. Her mood lifted as well.

“The way your father shows his care is very special. Can you tell me where I can find him?” Gao Ming asked the core question.

“The headmaster’s office, but you can only go there after midnight. It’s normally locked.” The girl quickly added to prevent misunderstanding. “Father wants the school to return to normal. He’s trying very hard. He wants to save all of us!”

The school would show itself after dark, but based on the rules, every student should be asleep by then. Therefore, no one could really see the real school, much less go to the headmaster’s office at midnight.

“I should go. The teachers will leave the office to find me if they wait for too long.” Situ Xin was scared. Since Gao Ming didn’t stop her, she ran out.

“I didn’t find out the consequences for breaking the rules, but I did get extra clues about Situ An. That’s not bad.” Suddenly, his heart raced. The God of Flesh and Blood warned him to leave.

Gao Ming left the office building. He took the time to take another class. He realised different classes had different events.

Gao Ming returned to the hostel at 8 pm.

Compared to the morning, the hostel changed as well. There was a kind female manager at the hostel manager’s office. She wore a light blue short-sleeved vest. A dark red long-sleeved shirt and a deep green coat were draped on her single bed.

“These three colours again?” Gao Ming was reminded of the worker’s uniform at Min Long Supermarket.

Gao Ming ignored the manager. He was about to walk forward when he noticed all the pictures of the students from his class had their heads cut off. It looked like someone purposely did this with scissors.
