"What's going on?"

Qiao Shu discovered that the white fog would not invade the main building, which meant that they had to reach the main building before the bell rang.

"Qiao Shu, have you lost your memory? This is the school rule. We must be in the main building for class before the bell rings, otherwise... something terrible will happen."

Liu Xiaohong leaned close to her ear, her eyes wide open, and spoke in a hoarse voice that was quite terrifying.

"What's the big deal?"

"yes…"

"What's wrong with you two? Why aren't you going to class?"

Before Liu Xiaohong could say anything, a middle-aged woman in professional attire came over, holding several thick books in her hands, with her hair piled high and wearing old-fashioned black-framed glasses, staring at them coldly.

"Oh, Mr.... ahem, it's Teacher Xu. We'll be in right away."

Liu Xiaohong coughed twice, smiled awkwardly, and pulled Qiao Shu into the classroom.

"Qiao Shu, Xiaohong, come here quickly."

Confused girl waved at them.

Qiao Shu sat in her seat and glanced at the people in the classroom. There were both men and women. In such a big classroom, there were only about twenty people.

Their eyes were dull and dazed, and those who didn't know would think they were just puppets.

"Hello, Qiao Shu, my name is Fang Xiaoxiao."

The girl next to her tugged at her sleeve, a shy smile plastered across her beautiful, innocent face. "I'm a rising singer. You might not know me, but I know you. To participate in this show, I crammed through the first three episodes of the replay show. I've heard so much about Sister Qiao's amazing talent, and I didn't expect to be assigned to the same dorm as soon as I got here. I'm so lucky."

It turned out Fang Xiaoxiao wasn't an NPC, so Qiao Shu quietly asked her, "Were you in the classroom the moment you opened your eyes? Is there anything strange about these people?"

She pointed to the student in front of her.

"Huh? I didn't even notice. They seemed... motionless."

Fang Xiaoxiao wrinkled her nose and tried hard to recall.

"Quiet, class has already started, what are you guys still chatting about?"

Just as I was about to ask a few more questions, Teacher Xu walked in, threw the heavy books heavily on the podium, glanced at me with sharp eyes, and reminded me in a deep voice.

"Next, I'm going to take roll call. Students who don't show up will not get any credits for this semester. Not only that... not staying in the classroom properly during class time is a bad behavior that flouts school rules and will be punished."

When the word "punishment" was mentioned, Teacher Xu's lips curled up, revealing an excited smile.

"Zhang San, Li Si..."

Teacher Xu began to call the roll.

"Liu Xiaohong, Fang Xiaoxiao, Qiao Shu..."

"arrive!"

Several people shouted "Here" obediently.

"Lin Yanze..."

“…”

"Where's Lin Yanze?"

No one responded. Teacher Xu frowned, looked around, smiled grimly, and was about to tick the box in the sign-in book.

"Wait, Teacher Xu, I'm coming, I'm coming."

Lin Yanze arrived late, panting, his handsome face flushed due to his running speed.

"Oh? The bell has already rung, why are you here just now? And where is Jiang Yiyao?"

When Teacher Xu saw him, his eyes were filled with regret and he asked him with dissatisfaction.

"Teacher, I'm here too. We were just helping Teacher Xu move the books, so we're late."

Jiang Yiyao appeared from behind Lin Yanze, holding a stack of books in her hands.

"Teacher Xu?"

Teacher Xu's eyes lit up, and he snorted softly and said, "Alright, since you're helping Teacher Xu, I'll spare you for now. Come into class first."

“Thank you, teacher!”

Lin Yanze and Jiang Yiyao breathed a sigh of relief and walked in hurriedly.

"Sister Yaoyao, sit here!"

Fang Xiaoxiao lowered her voice and called them over.

"Sister Qiao!"

"Qiao Qiao!"

Lin Yanze and Jiang Yiyao rushed over as if they had seen their own mother, pushing Fang Xiaoxiao to the side.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you so late?"

Seeing that they looked like they were about to cry, Qiao Shu couldn't help but ask.

"Oh my God, Qiao Qiao, you don't know what happened to us. We were almost dragged away by that disgusting thing."

Jiang Yiyao had a sad face and cried out in grievance.

"Disgusting thing? Could it be something in the white mist?"

"Yes, Sister Qiao, did you encounter it too? Sister Yaoyao and I ran into her on the way to the classroom. Sister Yaoyao was running a little slower, and a tentacle suddenly stretched out from the white mist and chased her, trying to drag her away."

Lin Yanze shuddered and is still a little scared.

"Tentacles?"

Qiao Shu felt that they had entered a strange situation.

"Well, if we hadn't met Brother Zhou, we would have been eliminated right from the start."

Lin Yanze made a gesture of wiping his neck.

"What about Xu Tingzhou?"

"Brother Zhou is amazing. He became a teacher right after he arrived."

Lin Yanze was quite envious.

"Okay, it looks like we've arrived at a weird school. Both the students and the teachers here are weird. You have to be careful. She also mentioned the rules, so listen carefully."

Qiao Shu had already guessed what was going on, so she reminded them.

"Okay, Sister Qiao, we feel much more at ease with you here."

Teacher Xu started the class and began to draw symbols on the whiteboard with a pen.

Jiang Yiyao rubbed her eyes, thinking she had seen it wrong.

"What does this say?"

It really is a collection of symbols, those strange circles and crosses are totally incomprehensible.
