41 Taboo 2 || The sky is falling for the bad student

"You're here," a cold female voice interrupted their conversation. Yan Shuang looked up and saw a woman in front of her, dressed in a navy blue formal suit, with short hair neatly tucked behind her ears. She was about fifty years old, with a look of dignity that came from without anger, and her eyes were sharp and deep, as if she could see every subtle change in their hearts.

She raised her chin slightly, her eyes swept over the five people, her face dignified, her voice unhurried, "They've arrived, they're waiting for you."

It’s still unclear what their roles are, so it’s better to say less. Judging from their attire, the woman should hold a higher position in the school.

Lin Haichen thought it over again and again, and said respectfully: "Then please lead the way for us, teacher."

The woman was very pleased and seemed very satisfied with his attitude. He turned and walked towards the school gate, his high heels making a rhythmic tap, tap, tap sound on the stone steps.

Ye Jingan carefully approached Yan Shuang and said, "It left a shadow when I was studying. Even now, I still feel weak in the knees when I see the teacher."

"Then our identities are students, and you're in trouble." Yan Shuang looked at the woman's back and guessed that it was probably true. "Let's go in and take a look first."

Ye Jingan nodded.

The five people walked up the stairs into the school gate. Before they entered, they heard a fierce quarrel inside.

"What's going on? Why am I in school? Why have I never heard of this school?" a man asked in a rough voice.

The few of them were already used to the familiar questions coming from the newcomers.

Yan Shuang saw the man who had asked the question the moment she entered. He was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt and had three earrings pierced in one ear, the pendants gleaming in the sunlight. Beneath his red hair lay a snarling face. Jing Ning stood nearby. While the others didn't appear as excited as the red-haired man, they couldn't help but glance around curiously.

When this man saw a few more people coming in, he became even more agitated. His face turned red and veins popped out on his forehead. He walked towards the school gate angrily. He pushed away Xu Yaoyu who was blocking his way with such force that Xu Yaoyu staggered a few steps.

"Get out of the way, let me out. Why did you bring me to school? What do you want to do?" he almost yelled.

Yan Shuang quickly pulled his sleeve and said in a calm but firm voice, "You can't get out."

"Bullshit!" The man was extremely impatient and violently shook off Yan Shuang's hand, his arm drawing a sharp arc in the air. "Did you bring me here? If you don't get out of the way, I'll call the police."

Yan Shuang ignored his shouting and turned his gaze to the center of the playground.

Five newcomers stood beside Jing Ning, watching everything unfold before their eyes, bewildered. Including the five of them and the red-haired man, there were twelve players in this game, two more than the previous one, making it even more difficult.

The middle-aged woman answered the phone at the side. As expected, the red-haired man was stopped by security before he could even leave the school gate. He angrily kicked a nearby trash can and then strode back, his eyes brimming with rage.

"Go ask the security guard to let me out. I don't have time to play with you!" He pointed at Yan Shuang's nose and yelled, spit flying.

Yan Shuang's gaze swept across the eleven people standing scattered on the playground, five women and seven men of different ages. Among the five newcomers, three were standing together, and it seemed that they knew each other.

"I'm talking to you, what's your attitude?" The red-haired man saw Yan Shuang ignored him, and he became even more angry. He wanted to grab Yan Shuang's collar, but Lin Haichen held him down, "That's enough, don't be so angry. If you have anything to say, let's talk slowly."

The red-haired man's face turned pale, and his eyes twitched twice. "Okay."

Only then did Lin Haichen let go of his hand with satisfaction and explained the rules of the game to the newcomer.

The newcomers were inevitably panicked. Only one of the three people they knew, a student-looking boy, asked, "Have you ever entered the game before?"

Lin Haichen nodded.

"This is my first time here, so I hope you can take care of me later." The man habitually extended his hand, wanting to shake hands with Lin Haichen. "My name is Zheng Yuxuan, and these two are my junior schoolmates, Lin Yue and Wu Siyao. What are your names?"

A few people simply introduced their names. Lin Yue and Wu Siyao were freshmen. They had just made an appointment with their seniors to go to the student union meeting, but they ended up meeting in the game.

The other woman with long wavy hair and a slim long V-neck dress is called Zhang Fan.

"Liu Hui." The remaining man simply gave his name. "What does this game mean? It looks pretty normal to me."

Lin Haichen looked around and said, "It's not clear yet. Let's wait for the arrangements. At least let us know the identity of the representative."

Yan Shuang walked over to Jing Ning, pointed at the woman on the phone, and briefly analyzed the situation. "There are so many classrooms here, are they asking us to look for someone in the school?"

Before entering, Yan Shuang glanced at the time on her phone. It should be almost lunchtime for the students. Directly across from the school was the teaching building. Squinting, Yan Shuang glanced around the playground, seeing what looked like the library and cafeteria. The occasional sound of teachers teaching could be heard from the classrooms.

Jing Ning did not deny it, "Maybe."

At this time, the middle-aged woman finally finished her call and said to the others, "Our Yucai Middle School is a key school. I hope you transfer students won't fall behind. Adapt to the new environment as quickly as possible. I'll take you to the dormitory later, and then prepare well for tomorrow's exam."

Ye Jing'an was startled, and when he came to his senses, he became a little excited, "Exam?" Yan Shuang was right, they came to study in the game.

The middle-aged woman said, "Yes, of course I hope you all get good grades."

"Are there any requirements for this score line?" Zheng Yuxuan asked.

The middle-aged woman's eyes were filled with scrutiny, and her tone seemed to mock them. "Of course, the total score of the seven subjects must be at least 680."

"What?!" Several people exclaimed. Asking Yan Shuang, who had been working for several years, to take the high school exam was undoubtedly no different from reading a book written in a foreign language.

"What if you fail the exam?" Yan Shuang suddenly spoke.

The middle-aged woman sneered, glanced sideways, raised the corner of her red mouth, and said word by word: "Of course I will keep taking the test until I pass."

The world is about to fall apart!

"I'll take you to the dormitory." The woman said and walked forward without looking back.

Everyone hurried to catch up. Xu Yaoyu whispered from behind, "I didn't even get 680 on the college entrance exam, and you let me get 680 in the game! Can I retake the college entrance exam after I get out?"

"Maybe the questions in the game are easier." Ye Jingan, a poor student, comforted himself. He hadn't even scored 500, so what was he saying?
