Chapter 95 Let's rewind to a few days ago...

Let's rewind to a few days ago...

"Get up, haven't you had enough sleep yet?" A gentle voice rang out. She was just about to wake her child when she opened the door and was suddenly embraced.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Should I call in sick for you?"

Shuoyan opened his eyes. For some reason, he felt incredibly moved and nostalgic. But how could that be? They saw each other every day.

"I'm fine, Mom, I just want to hug you." He hugged his mother, unwilling to say anything, as if he would lose her if he let go.

His mother didn't ask anything and calmly waited for her child to calm down.

It took Shuoyan a while to recover and he smiled.

"I'm sorry, Mom, I've kept you a little late. I'll be late for school if you take me now."

"It's okay, I'll explain the situation to your homeroom teacher later... If anything really happens, remember to tell your mother." His mother gently patted his head, starting to worry if something had happened at school, such as being bullied, since she felt her son was too honest.

"Okay." Shuoyan smiled and went out with his schoolbag on his back. For some reason, he felt that the sun was particularly bright and the air was particularly fresh today, which made his steps unconsciously lighter.

When he arrived at school, morning reading had already begun. As expected, due to his privilege as a top student, he was not held accountable and was let off lightly. So he sat down and took out his books.

"Hey! Shuoyan, can I copy your math homework?" Yi Sheng, who sits in front of me, turned around and said.

"Huh?" Shuoyan was very puzzled. "How could you not have written it? You're the class monitor, the teacher's favorite helper!"

"Get lost, stop talking nonsense. Just one question: will you lend it to me or not?" Yi Sheng rolled her eyes.

"Borrow, borrow, borrow." Shuoyan felt exceptionally happy, so he stopped rambling and readily took out his homework.

After taking it, Yi Sheng quickly glanced at it, then picked up the pen and began to write furiously.

Fortunately, he's usually the one collecting homework, so it's just a little late. He can hand it in after class.

I've finished the previous lessons, this is the only one left.

The morning reading session passed quickly, and he finished writing. He stretched happily and started collecting homework.

After collecting the homework, I went back to the classroom to catch up on sleep.

Then, because he dozed off in class, he received "special attention" from several teachers.

This forced him to force himself to concentrate and try to listen to the teacher, even though he didn't hear anything, he still pretended to be listening.

Finally, the morning classes ended, and he immediately spread out like a pancake.

Suddenly, a pair of hands landed on his shoulders, startling him. When he turned around, he saw it was Shuoyan.

Shuoyan looked at him amusedly, "What's wrong? Did you go out stealing chickens and dogs last night?"

"No, how could that be?" Although he said this, he seemed to want to say something but stopped, clearly not finishing his sentence.

He hesitated for a while, only to find that Shuoyan didn't press him further, which made him even more eager to speak.

This made him less inclined to take a nap. "Aren't you going to ask me anything?" He approached and found that Shuoyan really didn't seem curious at all, and was diligently doing his homework.

"No, I'm just curious." Shuoyan said this without even looking up, with a relaxed and cheerful smile on his face, clearly not taking the matter to heart at all.

This only made Yi Sheng even angrier. "Hey, we're friends, aren't we? I'm in this situation and you're not even asking about it?"

"Isn't it normal for young people to stay up late?" He didn't care at all, and turned the page to continue doing practice problems.

"Ugh! Others may not know me, but don't you know me? I'm so disciplined! I paid such a high price to get into this school! How could I possibly stay up all night?" Yi Sheng said angrily.

"Anything can happen, it's just one all-nighter, it's not a big deal." He didn't care; if he wanted to say it, he would.

"Ahhh! You're going too far! I'm going to tell you anyway, do you think there are superpowers in this world?" Yi Sheng asked, her eyes sparkling.

"...I don't know. My advice is that you shouldn't have these unrealistic fantasies. Instead, think about how many points you'll get on the college entrance exam. That's more important." He sighed. For some reason, he felt a little resistant when he heard the word "superpower," which he found strange.

"Hey? Why are you so stubborn?" Yi Sheng said furtively, "I really did run into it yesterday, it was that kind of thing."

"What is that?"

"Oh, it's the kind of thing that can't be brought into the light."

"You went to **?" Shuoyan asked, puzzled.

Yi Sheng looked shocked. "You're tainted! How could you think of something like that?"

"It's all adulthood..." No, he's not an adult yet, so he quickly corrected himself, "What's wrong with that? I was just saying it casually, you're not feeling guilty, are you?"

"How could that be? I mean—dirty stuff." He said the last few words in a low voice, as if saying them aloud would be overheard.

"Dirty stuff? Then just rinse it with water," Shuoyan said seriously.

"I... God... You..." Yi Sheng was so angry that she became incoherent and unable to speak. "I meant ghosts!"

The words were accidentally shouted out, and I immediately realized that I had spoken too loudly. I covered my mouth and started looking left and right. Fortunately, most of the students in the class had gone to eat, so there weren't many people around.

"Are you deliberately teasing me?" Yi Sheng was a little exasperated.

"you guess."

"Aaaaaah! I'm going crazy!"

It's quite amusing to tease this little class monitor, Shuoyan chuckled to himself.

"Don't be crazy, tell me, what happened to you yesterday?" You can't push someone too hard, otherwise you'll have to coax them later.

"Yesterday, I saw a ghost, but I only saw it from afar. I saw a very handsome man stomp on it and crushed it. Do you think he might be a Taoist priest or something, or some kind of special agency of the country?" Shuoyan whispered.

"You have no idea what happened back then. Do you know how big that ghost was? It was almost as big as our entire building. The man was just standing there, and he just stepped on it and crushed it."

"Then it seems you're quite strong," Shuoyan said.

"Tsk, can you stop interrupting me?" Yi Sheng's eyes widened.

"Okay, okay."

"Anyway, I'm sure it wasn't a hallucination. I really saw it. It was right on my windowsill. I was just about to study when I opened the window and saw a figure. The person was so tall, almost as tall as this building. I thought it was some kind of optical illusion."

"But guess what? I saw him bend down and take a girl out of the house, he really did take her out, right through the wall."

"Then suddenly a handsome guy appeared, really handsome."

"Wait, didn't you say it was quite far? How come you can see it so clearly? You even know whether he's handsome or not." Shuoyan asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Well, later on, in order to investigate whether it was a hallucination or not, I took out the binoculars to take a look."

This person is really carefree; it's obvious they just wanted to watch the excitement, which is why they brought out the binoculars.

"Anyway, later on, this guy jumped up and leaped more than ten meters high, like he was flying, and then he stepped down directly, and the ghost was gone instantly," Yi Sheng said excitedly.

"But surely you didn't sleep all night?" Shuoyan asked.

"Indeed, but you don't know, at the very end, that boy seemed to see me. Even from such a distance, I just felt his eyes were looking in my direction. It scared me so much that I kept seeing his eyes in my mind when I was sleeping that night. Do you think he might have tried to keep my secret by—" He made a throat-slitting gesture as he spoke, "Isn't it said that dead people are the best at keeping secrets?"

"Alright, stop scaring yourself. Didn't you say that man saved someone? Maybe he's a superhero, protecting people's safety. He wouldn't do something like that."

......

I don't know how much time passed, but the bell rang for class.

"Alright, everyone quiet down. Our chemistry teacher is on leave, and this teacher will be filling in for you for the next few days. Please welcome him."

Shuoyan wasn't really concerned at first; he kept his head down, still pondering what Yi Sheng had said.

"Hello everyone, I will be your substitute teacher from now on. My name is Hōjī, you can just call me teacher."

Upon hearing this name, the people below burst into laughter.

Shuoyan was startled. He looked up and met the eyes of his new teacher. His gaze shifted from confusion to clarity, and then to silence.

Suddenly, Yi Sheng turned around and said in a low voice in terror, "It's over, it's over, he really came to hunt me down, he chased me all the way to the school, and he even disguised himself as one of our substitute teachers."

But he found that Shuoyan didn't listen to him at all, not even glancing at him, and didn't give him one.

I noticed he was staring intently at the new teacher in front of him. Something was off. I glanced at the desk behind me, then looked up at the teacher on the stage, who was also gazing at me with deep affection.

When Huiji opened his eyes, he saw a familiar yet unfamiliar scene. This was... his "home".

He was somewhat confused, but then he became clear-headed. This couldn't possibly be his original hometown. He vaguely sensed the presence of his original self and his other identities.

So he quickly composed himself. His immediate priority was to find the original body, which should be quick, after all, this was the information age.
