Xuanxuan asked me to go in with her, but I said it wasn't a good idea, as this was a school after all. If I went in so brazenly, the security would kick me out! Unexpectedly, Xuanxuan said that recently the teachers had privately paid some Taoist priests like Mr. Chuhei to come to the school, but it didn't work.
I thought to myself, since the teachers at school are willing to pay a Taoist priest to perform exorcisms, it shouldn't be a big deal for me to earn some extra cash, right? While the Taoist profession is primarily about exorcising demons and upholding the Way, no matter how impressive one is, they still need to eat, right? And eating costs money, right? So, it makes sense for me to earn some extra cash while exorcising demons and upholding the Way.
After making my decision, I followed Xuanxuan into the school. However, I was quickly stopped by the security guard at the entrance, who asked me what I was doing there. I didn't say anything, so Xuanxuan spoke for me, saying that a teacher had invited me to the school.
The security guard immediately stood in awe and stepped aside. I was stunned. Was he so obedient? Or was he reacting this way because he knew the teacher had invited some unusual people to the school?
I think this is the only possibility. After all, many Taoist priests have come to the school long before I came. It seems that the security guard also regarded me as a Taoist priest invited by the teacher.
I didn't pay much attention to it and followed Xuanxuan to the first floor of teaching building A. There was a teacher's office nearby.
"I'll go to the classroom first. You go to the office and wait for a while. The teacher should be here soon." After saying that, Xuanxuan waved to me and ran upstairs.
I looked around and saw students walking towards the classrooms in the teaching building one after another. Some girls turned their heads to look at me, then covered their mouths and laughed. I didn't know what they were laughing at. Was there something on my face?
I rubbed my face, and the girls started laughing even harder, practically shaking. My face flushed, and I hurried into the office. It was still early, and no teachers were in the office. I poured myself a glass of water from the dispenser and sat in a swivel chair.
Thinking of those girls before, they were laughing so happily, and it seemed that they were not depressed by the recent weird things happening in school.
Just as I was thinking about it, a male teacher suddenly walked into the office. This male teacher was very tall, about 1.9 meters tall, about 27 or 28 years old, full of youthful vigor and vitality, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and on the middle finger of his left hand was a strange silver ring with a sharp corner, extremely sharp.
When he saw me, he wasn't surprised at all and asked casually, "You're not a student, are you?"
I nodded. "I heard that your school has been very evil lately. Some teachers have secretly invited Taoist priests to come to the school to exorcise evil spirits, right?"
The teacher with glasses said, "Yes, but none of them are useful. Which teacher did you hire? I can call that teacher and have him come over."
I shook my head. "No teacher invited me here. I was asked by a student to come."
"Even students are joining in the fun..." The bespectacled teacher muttered, then said, "It's still early for class... In that case, talk to me."
I agreed and started chatting with the teacher wearing glasses. His name was Zhang Longming, and he was a computer programming teacher. In his spare time, he often read suspense detective novels and mystery novels. He also did a lot of research and analysis on this strange case at school.
"In fact, after investigating and inferring for this period of time, I think this incident was not caused in the school, but in a newly built building in the city center. There are professional English tutors there, and some students go there for English tutoring every weekend. And according to my investigation, I found that the students who disappeared and then died in the school had all been to that building for English tutoring, without exception." Zhang Longming said.
"According to you, the death of students returning to school is just an illusion, and the real source is in the building?" I frowned.
Zhang Longming nodded. "Yes, I just discovered this recently and haven't confirmed it yet. Since you want to solve the case for our school, wait at the school gate tomorrow morning. I'll drive you to the building."
"Why tomorrow morning?"
"Because tomorrow morning is Saturday, students will go to that building for English tutoring. I think that is the best time to conduct the survey," said Zhang Longming.
I nodded.
"In addition, a group of us teachers and even the principal have privately raised a sum of money, about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. If you can help us find out the reason behind this and restore peace to the school, this money will be all yours." Zhang Longming said with a smile.
Twenty or thirty thousand? I licked my lips. If you have money and don’t make it, you’re a jerk! I nodded decisively and agreed.
Su Xiaoniu said angrily, "Why are you so happy? You're only getting this little money. You might as well go take on some shady business... This school is so stingy!"
I smiled indifferently: "It's just a little labor, and I can make some extra money by the way, so it's not a big deal."
Su Xiaoniu snorted, "Really? Just a simple task? Okay, I'd like to see how you accomplish this! From now until this matter is over, I won't help you with anything. Firstly, I want to see how much progress you've made during this time, and secondly, you should practice on your own and stop relying on me! If I'm gone one day, won't you be able to survive?"
I pouted: "Don't say that...I can't bear to let you go!"
Su Xiaoniu said: "I don't care, I won't help you now anyway!"
I coaxed her for a while, but Su Xiaoniu was determined not to help me. I didn't care much because I knew that if I was in danger, Su Xiaoniu would definitely help me! So, I didn't take Su Xiaoniu's words to heart.
