Chapter 049 Divine Accusation
In the end, Bai Yue had no choice but to sit on the chair and stare at Rong Le.
The young man's attitude was very calm. Even without saying anything, he could still sit in a chair and leisurely pass the time. Bai Yue said, "You come to see me but do nothing. Isn't it boring?"
Rong Le shrugged and said, "It's still acceptable. It's better to have someone to accompany you than to stay alone in school."
Bai Yue was a little surprised: "Aren't you the student union president's brother? Don't you have anyone around you?"
“No.”
Rong Le leaned back in her chair and spun around lightly. "I've only been here for less than two weeks. What common topics can I have with them? I usually go to the club, and the rest of the time I'm with my brother, but he's always busy..."
That's why I became so lonely.
Bai Yue was somewhat touched, and his words softened unconsciously: "Is that so? Then you don't do anything normally?"
Rong Le shook her head. "I have to catch up on my studies because I made a bet with my brother that if I don't pass the exam, he will punish me. So I've been studying very hard."
He tilted his head, his dark green eyes beneath his long, thick eyelashes staring at Baiyue, his tone carrying some inexplicable meaning: "I always feel that life is tiring, teacher."
“…”
In an instant, Rong Le's image in Baiyue's eyes turned into a bluffing, love-deprived adolescent boy.
This seems to explain why he is clinging to him. Lonely people are always attracted to their own kind.
Bai Yue sighed. His conscience prevented him from ignoring the boy, but the situation made him unable to be cruel: "Listen, it's not that I don't want to accompany you, but the teacher has important things to do and can't accompany you. So after this visit, don't..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw the boy's eyes turned red and he couldn't control his tears.
He cried very quietly, with a restrained expression, as if he was worried that he would be scolded if he made a sound. Tears hung on his thin chin, his green eyes were dim, and his curled eyelashes were half-covered. This silent crying was more heartbreaking than wailing loudly.
Baiyue: "Actually, what I said just now wasn't so absolute!"
The boy said: "I have been pestering you without knowing what is good for me. I know what I did was wrong and I shouldn't have threatened you, teacher."
Baiyue was overwhelmed by huge guilt, especially when he found that the boy was still calling him teacher obediently until this time.
The boy said, "I know you don't want to see me, but I still controlled myself and came to see you. I'm so sorry. It's all because I haven't kept up with everyone else's progress..."
"I've been bothering my brother, whom I haven't seen for a few years, to take care of me..."
He laughed at himself: "Sure enough, I shouldn't have left the countryside. I can obviously live on my own."
The loneliness in the boy's words almost overflowed the screen.
Bai Yue didn't dare look him in the eye: "Actually, I'm not that busy. You can come to me when you have time... I'll help you with your homework and won't let you drop out of Class A."
Rong Le was skeptical: "Really?"
Bai Yue used all the patience he had never used in his life to comfort the sad boy, and he wanted to swear: "Really, I promise."
After this battle, the Baiyue people no longer dared to say anything to refuse.
Rong Le stayed here for a while, and knew when to quit. After confirming that Baiyue would not try to get rid of him again, he stood up and said goodbye after sitting for a while, and promised to bring the textbooks next time.
What he didn't know was that after he left, Bai Yue sat in his seat, took out a notebook from the drawer, opened a new page, thought for a moment, and wrote on it:
I didn't go out today and found a cat. I have a feeling that my time will be occupied by it in the next few days.
Investigation progress, no information available yet.
…
Although she met Bai Yue, it was obvious that he had a mission to complete, so Rong Le did not visit him frequently.
A few days later, the midterm exam arrived as scheduled.
Rong Le was talking to her classmates with a smile on her face. When asked by Zhan Mingyue how she did on the exam, she smiled and winked at her: "Of course, no problem. I have a secret weapon."
Zhan Mingyue was amused by him. She had a good impression of Rong Le and was often worried that Rong Le would fall out of Class A.
Chang Shan silently pushed his glasses aside and glanced at Rong Le, who was sitting on the chair with a smile on her face. "I heard that the president made a bet with you. If anyone gets a lower score in this exam, they must unconditionally agree to the other person's request."
The girl was incredulous. "Huh?! Comparing scores? The president is top of our grade. I basically have no chance of winning against him!"
Rong Le made a distressed expression: "Brother seems to really want me to agree... But it doesn't matter, I will win anyway."
Zhan Mingyue's expression seemed to say that he didn't expect Rong Qing to be a potential pervert.
After Chang Shan and the class representatives brought back the graded test papers, the originally noisy classroom suddenly became quiet.
Rong Qing returned to his seat and smiled, "Are the results out?"
Chang Shan pushed his glasses and said, "That's right."
It seems that the results this time are very interesting.
Rong Qing walked up to the podium, picked up the stack of test papers in front of him, and said calmly, "Then each of you can take your own."
There were four subjects in this exam, and only two papers had been released so far. Everyone in Class A took their own papers, and Rong Le's paper was also taken back by Zhan Mingyue.
"Wow, Rongrong! You got full marks in math and English!" She looked at Rong Le's paper in surprise. "You got full marks for your composition, too, and your handwriting is so beautiful. Did you practice?"
"Yeah, I practiced for a while."
If handling official business in the church counts as practice.
Rong Le looked at the other subject's paper, and as expected, both subjects had full marks.
Rong Qing also scored full marks, and being the top student in the grade indeed possessed overwhelming strength.
Rong Qing looked at him deeply, then returned to his seat with the same smile.
Things seem to be getting interesting.
The students in Class A spent the entire morning nervously competing for the exam results. After all, it was a matter of fate, so they couldn't help but be nervous.
At noon, Rong Le followed Rong Qing to the student union president's office.
This place was no different from the first time he entered the module. Rong Qing sat down and started to deal with things, while Rong Le picked out a few interesting books from the bookshelf and leaned back on the sofa to read them casually.
During the meeting, a member of the student union came in to deliver documents. Seeing Rong Le sitting there, he couldn't help but look at her curiously. Rong Qing tapped the desktop lightly, and the man came back to his senses and reported his work seriously.
Perhaps it is because Rong Le and Rong Qing have too similar temperaments that others always easily confuse them. When the two brothers are in the same space, they are particularly pleasing to the eye, as if nothing can come between them.
After reading for a while, Rong Le lost interest. He looked at Rong Qing sitting at his desk, patiently processing documents, and suddenly wanted to harass him.
"elder brother."
He suddenly spoke.
Rong Qing looked up and saw Rong Le sitting on the sofa with an open book in his hand. He was not wearing his school uniform jacket indoors. His straight vest outlined his flexible waist. A few strands of long hair fell from his neck to his shoulders, and his dark green eyes were staring at him.
He smiled warmly and said, "Since you brought me here, please come and see me once in a while."
Is this...acting like a spoiled child?
Rong Qing was rarely stunned. He smiled helplessly and said, "Rongrong, are you bored?"
Rong Le changed her position and lay more comfortably on the sofa, her slender fingers clutching the book, and she swayed lazily: "Well, I guess so."
Rong Le tilted her head and said, "Brother, the results are coming soon."
Rong Qing asked gently, "Can't you wait any longer?"
"That's right, I've already thought about what I want my brother to do!" Rong Le looked up at him, her amber green eyes filled with a bright smile.
Rong Qing couldn't help but be pleased by his behavior: "I'm looking forward to it too."
The lunch break ended quickly. After the two returned to the classroom, the teacher came in with the test paper a short while later.
The results for the remaining two subjects are out.
The barrage became tense:
"Damn, I'm so nervous."
"You must be better than Rong Qinggao, otherwise you're doomed."
"In fact, Rong Le has already impressed me. Although I knew he was knowledgeable before, it's only now that I feel that he is truly a top student..."
"Also, he's been running around in school lately, and it seems like he doesn't take the exam seriously."
"Even if I'm not first, I'm definitely ranked very high. I saw the camera sweeping over the test paper, and the questions were very difficult."
The class representative came forward, took the papers and distributed them to the students one by one. Rong Le received her paper quickly, and the score on it was very impressive.
On the other side, Rong Qing was the same.
Mathematics is basically taught in the same way, and as long as you are familiar with the question types, you can deal with it perfectly. However, subjective factors such as Chinese cannot be made up for overnight. Rong Le's education is different from here. Although Chinese relies on rote memorization, there are still some omissions.
In comparison, Rong Qing's test paper was very beautiful. He closed the paper calmly: "It seems that at least I don't have to worry about you falling out of Class A."
Rong Le: "There is another test paper."
Soon, another test paper was handed out.
The incredible scores on the test paper attracted attention. On the podium, the teacher was still loudly announcing the rankings.
"I'm very relieved. No one will leave Class A this time. The rankings haven't changed much, only slightly. Now I'll read out the results."
The results were read out from the back to the front. Every time a name was called, that person's expression would visibly relax. Rong Le listened until he heard a familiar name.
"Zhan Mingyue, 562 points, 18th place."
Zhan Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest exaggeratedly.
“…”
"Chang Shan, 572 points, fifth place."
Chang Shan's expression was very calm, and his gaze moved to the table next to him where Rong Le and Rong Qing were sitting.
“…”
"Rong Qing, 580 points, second place."
When this was announced, Class A was in an uproar, and countless eyes fell on Rong Qing. This was the first time in history that Rong Qing missed the first place.
Rong Qing's score was very consistent with his previous level, and this score was enough to crush everyone, but he was not first this time.
Then, the teacher's announcement confirmed the guess.
"Rong Le, 581 points, first place."
The comments were jubilant:
"Ahhhh Rongrong is awesome!"
"It was just one point away, and I almost choked when the rankings were announced. The pressure was too great."
"Is all this under his control?"
"Is there anything he can't do?!"
Rong Le turned around and looked at Rong Qing with a smile: "Only one point more, brother."
Rong Qing stared at him for a long time, then smiled as usual.
"You win, Rongrong."
Hearing his admission, Rong Le's smile was filled with youthful spirit, and the eyes that Rong Qing was very familiar with looked straight at him.
"Brother, you owe me a favor."
Rong Qing lowered his eyes: "What do you want?"
Rong Le smiled and said, "Hmm... This really requires some careful consideration. I'll tell you when I think of it. Brother won't cheat, right?"
Rong Qing's eyes were so gentle that they were a little scary. "No, my promise to you will always be valid, because I will never find anyone more interesting than you."
His eyes were dark green, so deep that they seemed to contain a thick darkness. He slowly raised a slightly weird smile.
"Bring me more surprises, Rongrong."
…
In the library.
Bai Yue was investigating when a phone call interrupted his train of thought. He picked up the phone: "Hello, what's going on? The results are out. How are they? What, first place?!"
He was shocked on the spot.
Is he so talented as a teacher?!
Baiyue thought about the mathematics he taught and was sure that it was all normal high school knowledge and it was impossible for an ordinary student to instantly become a top student.
Rong Le explained that because math was her weak subject, her other grades were all good. Now after tutoring, even her only weakness has become an advantage, which is why she has such good grades.
"It's indeed worth congratulating... Go to the room and wait for me. The key is under the doormat. I'll be back in a moment."
After Baiyue finished the call, he stared at the book in front of him.
He was not here to work, but to investigate the school.
Qiu Hai Private High School is world-famous for its unique system. All students graduating from this school are elites, yet they rarely mention this school.
After investigation by the investigation team, the University of Michigan confirmed that the mysterious index of this school exceeded the standard. When he was about to graduate from the University of Michigan, he learned that this school was hiding creatures that could pollute humans and control people's hearts, so he decided to investigate the abnormality of this school.
After staying here for a few days, Baiyue discovered that this so-called system referred to divine accusation.
The ghost in this school can pollute the students in the school and wear human skin. Although it cannot leave the school directly, it can control the humans who have been polluted into ghosts and infiltrate into society.
This is a terrifying enough contagious pollution, and the consequences it brings are difficult to estimate. If it is allowed to continue to grow, it is hard to imagine what Qiu Hai will become.
Several suspicious people flashed through Baiyue's mind. Some of them needed to be observed closely, and some were obviously ghosts.
The probability of contamination among the teaching staff is particularly serious, which also indirectly shows that the entire school is under the control of the ghost.
but……
An arrogant and domineering green-eyed cat flashed through Baiyue's mind.
This young man was not a suspect. Although they had a dispute in the office when they first met, he obviously did not care why he was so overly vigilant. Instead, he enthusiastically pestered him.
Although he had suspected that Rong Le had other motives, his unreasonable personality made him completely dismiss the idea.
After all, this arrogant brat... was definitely here to torture him!
The school library is luxuriously decorated and spacious, but few people come here. Baiyue found school information from previous years here. At that time, Qiuhai did not have the so-called Holy Accusation, and it was just like an ordinary school.
Until the year before last, a statue of a god stood in the center of the gate and the teaching building, and everything changed uncontrollably.
Baiyue closed the book in frustration and pushed it back onto the bookshelf. Thinking that someone was waiting for him in the dormitory, he simply got up and left.
He had seen the so-called day of accusation. The chaos and madness showed that the school was about to fall into the abyss. In this environment, humans and ghosts no longer mattered, because everyone was assimilated into the most terrifying form.
Killing each other, having fun, and point-based thinking...
Baiyue suddenly didn't want to think about what Rong Le would look like when she made the accusation.
However, what he didn't expect was that it was Rong Le who brought up this topic first.
In the teacher's dormitory, Rong Le sat on a chair and suddenly asked, "Teacher, have you ever seen the day of accusation?"
Baiyue: "Yes, what's the matter?"
"Do you think the day of accusation is interesting?" Rong Le asked with squinted eyes, curled up lazily in the wide chair.
Baiyue: "I can't even use the word 'interesting'. It's better to say..."
"Disgusting?" Rong Le smiled.
Yes, he just transferred to the school, so it's normal that he hasn't been assimilated.
Bai Yue straightened up and said seriously: "Rong Le, don't be obsessed with Qiu Hai's accusation system. Don't think this is normal. It's very dangerous here."
He was afraid that Rong Le wouldn't listen, but he didn't expect Rong Le to suddenly laugh: "What? You've said everything I wanted to say."
The young man smiled, his thin body trembling slightly. He tilted his head and said, "You didn't really come to Qiuhai to be a teacher, did you? I heard from the second-year students that you look different from other teachers... Teacher, are you here to investigate Qiuhai?"
Bai Yue didn't expect that Rong Le would reveal this secret so easily.
The boy continued to chatter, "You're really obvious. Young teachers usually don't have a room without a single textbook, but instead have a gun hidden. Are you here for the accusation system? But, I'm afraid there's nothing you can do..."
Before she could finish her words, Rong Le was attacked by a huge force and was pinned to the ground.
The young man's brows were grim, and his fingers were tightly clasped around Rong Le's neck: "What else do you know?"
The shackles around her neck were so noticeable that the young man's strength made it difficult to shake them. Rong Le frowned and coughed twice, her voice slightly hoarse: "Go away..."
"Speak." Baiyue lowered his eyes and said calmly.
The young man looked up uncomfortably. "Not only do I know why you came to school, I also know that Qiuhai will soon be in an even more terrifying situation... Do you know how many ghosts there are in Qiuhai right now?"
Baiyue was slightly stunned.
"According to the current situation, the number of people who are still truly human will be small, and we will be surrounded by ghosts long ago."
Rong Le lay on the floor, sneering softly at Bai Yue above him.
"With such a huge disparity between humans and ghosts, what good are we doing surrounded by ghosts?"
The truth revealed upon deeper investigation was chilling. Baiyue's expression changed constantly, and after a moment, he slowly let go of his hand.
Rong Le rubbed her neck and stood up, still complaining: "Remember to be gentler next time. I'm not a violent person like you."
Bai Yue didn't listen to his complaints. He seemed to know him all over again and looked at him with a brand new look: "What's your purpose in suddenly telling me this?"
Rong Le had always intended to get close to him. Bai Yue had never thought that he would be fooled by a young man, and was even deceived by his appearance and failed to see through his true motives.
Rong Le: "Your fighting power is very high. I need your help and the forces behind you. My companions and I have doubts about the system of Qiuhai. I hope you can help us escape from Qiuhai."
Bai Yue pondered for a few seconds and said, "Okay. If necessary, I will protect your personal safety. At the same time, I need you to share intelligence. If the situation is critical, I will request support."
He saw the young man's eyes curved and he revealed a familiar smile, then his expression suddenly changed and became gradually solemn.
