Chapter 43 Tree Gao Girls’ High School 03
The floor plan provided the location of the confinement room, and Jiang Yuelu walked down the escalator.
The light above his head was like the golden pupil of an insect, illuminating a yellowish road under his feet, with both sides disappearing into darkness. The underground floor was a storage and cleaning room, and there was no one there at the moment. The only sound on the entire floor was his footsteps.
Stopping in front of the heavy iron door of the confinement room, Jiang Yuelu heard no sound from inside.
He took out the key, opened the door, and squinted his eyes to adapt to this narrow windowless dark room. Anyone who stayed in such a dark and closed space for a night would definitely not want to come back, even if he didn't repent and cry.
Is he the same?
"Xia Yi." Jiang Yuelu whispered the name with her lips and teeth.
When we parted last time, he said that next time we met, I could call him by his name. I didn't expect that day to come so soon.
As if foreshadowed, his forehead became hot. Just when he came here, his forehead felt slightly hot, and after entering this room, it became even hotter, as if a seed planted by someone was about to be born - this scorching temperature, and the way of completely disregarding other people's thoughts, is it not very similar to that person's arrogant style?
A dark shadow passed by behind him, so fast that his shape could not be seen.
Jiang Yuelu didn't want to be on guard. After confirming that it was him, he even relaxed a little in the darkness.
"Xia Yi?"
What responded to his call was a sharp gust of wind. He turned his head to avoid it and looked back at the white knife that was deeply embedded in the wall. A stream of warm blood flowed out of his scratched cheek.
If he hadn't dodged it, his right eye would have been lost.
Xia Yi stood there, with the buttons of his uniform shirt unbuttoned, his tie casually wrapped around his wrist, his hair hanging over his bright red eyes. This time it was not a boy, but a girl who was slightly shorter than him.
The faces are exactly the same, and the temperaments are also very similar.
More reckless than before.
and……
Xia Yi glanced at him coldly, pulled the knife from the wall, and kicked the half-open iron door open. Jiang Yuelu felt his eardrums buzzing.
When he looked up again, the manic girl was no longer in sight.
He chased after her, walked behind her, and started to walk slowly, following her out of the teaching building and walking along the flower-framed corridor towards the dormitory building. The two of them walked one in front and one behind, and no one spoke.
Coming to a blind corner, Xia Yi stopped and turned his head impatiently.
"Get lost."
"What if I say no?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. He was pinned to the wall by Xia Yi with one hand. The tip of the knife slid across his face, as cold as her eyes now. "Then die here."
Jiang Yuelu felt that she was capable of doing this. The punch she just gave him made him feel like vomiting his internal organs.
"...You don't recognize me?"
When he was not familiar with the other person's identity, it was too stupid to ask directly like this. He was more accustomed to observing calmly and getting the answer with his own eyes. He was really in pain at the moment, so he asked such a stupid question.
The blood-red eyes looked at him as if he were looking at weeds: "I don't know him."
But the knife started shaking violently around Jiang Yuelu's neck, like a dog that recognized its master and excitedly wagged its tail. The sudden change made both of them stunned. Xia Yi came to his senses first, threw the disobedient knife into the wall, and kicked it hard a few times, shaking the building. Looking at the cracks on the wall that were getting bigger and bigger, Jiang Yuelu began to think about how to explain to the Fat Lady tomorrow.
Xia Yi's parenting style became more and more unreasonable.
Paperman City had said a few words to Qin Xue when she was being taught a lesson, but now she started beating her without any explanation. Unrestrained, she was as brutal as an animal. Jiang Yuelu glanced at the snowy jungle outside the school and felt that the wild was the only place suitable for her, a beast, to survive.
Jiang Yuelu looked at the knife with sympathy. It was obviously not an ordinary knife. The blade was not extremely hard. At this moment, it was curled up in the wall and trembling slightly, as if it was angry but dared not speak.
The knife seemed to have caught a glimpse of the sympathetic gaze from the side, found a gap and pounced into Jiang Yuelu's arms, and suddenly turned into a paper doll.
Jiang Yuelu was surprised: "It's you."
The paper doll felt like seeing a relative when she saw him. "It hurts so much... I have a miserable life... wow... why..."
“…Why don’t you come earlier!”
Jiang Yuelu remembered that she used to speak fluently, but now she was talking nonsense. She couldn't let him know what kind of worse life she had been leading recently. The paper doll beat her chest and stamped her feet, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Don't cry." Jiang Yuelu remembered that she seemed to like talisman paper, so he took out a few from his pocket and fed them to her. Unexpectedly, she ate a few bowls of them sadly, then spit them all out and leaned on him with tears streaming down her face.
“Even this doesn’t work.”
Jiang Yuelu glanced at the devil and said softly, "It seems that she bullied you a lot."
Xia Yi had already walked over, looking extremely annoyed.
“Save me, save me!”
Xia Yi walked around Jiang Yuelu again and again. He seemed puzzled as to how the weapon suddenly got on the enemy. He tried to grab the weapon back several times but was dodged every time. His patience soon ran out.
Looking at the paper doll with a scary look of "you're dead", Xia Yi slowly shifted the death gaze to his face.
"What did you do?"
Jiang Yuelu had a lot of question marks in her mind.
"She has always been very well behaved. She does whatever I ask her to do and never complains."
That means you don't dare to complain, okay?
He tapped the paper doll that waved its hands angrily, and she obediently retracted her head. Xia Yi looked at the now obedient little weapon and made a rough judgment: "It must be you. What did you do?"
What was the point of that accusing look of "What on earth did you do to seduce my weapon?" Jiang Yuelu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "We knew each other before, of course she listened to me."
Xia Yi said: "But I don't know you."
Jiang Yuelu said: "You must have lost your memory."
If it weren't for the burning sensation between his eyebrows, he would have doubted whether the man in front of him was really Xia Yi. He thought for a moment and asked, "How did you get here?"
Xia Yi frowned, "Headache."
Jiang Yuelu: "Headache?"
"It hurts so much..." Xia Yi held his head, his soft hair brushing against his cheek, and he felt frighteningly fragile under the moonlight. Her memory seemed to be cut off, which deepened her irritability. She slapped herself hard with a cold face, "It hurts so much, it's useless, it's really useless!"
Jiang Yuelu was shocked.
Coming back to his senses, he quickly held down Xia Yi's raised hand, "Wait. I know you."
Xia Yi looked up at him and remembered that he had asked a similar question before.
"But I don't remember you."
Seeing that she had the palm print and looked alert, Jiang Yuelu smiled and said, "You came from Ghost City. We first met in a place called Iron Town. We also met her there."
The paper doll nodded vigorously.
Xia Yi was still suspicious, but she had been holding this weapon in her hand since she opened her eyes. Her past memories could be fabricated, but her love for this thing after waking up could not be faked. She liked this weapon that could change at will, and she also liked the paper figurine shape when she was not a weapon.
But she only saw it on the first day, and afterwards it was just a ruthless and cold knife.
She could smell malice and murderous intent, and could also accurately seize the moment when her prey was most relaxed and kill it with one strike. She was sure that the paper man was the most relaxed look of this weapon, and this was the second time he had seen it.
Because of this female teacher.
This was their first time meeting, she was sure of it.
Was it in the confinement room? But that was only a short time ago.
Forget it, even if I lied to her, I can just kill them all.
Xia Yi relaxed and said, "Go on."
Jiang Yuelu said, "You came here to catch a ghost." He observed Xia Yi's expression, "A ghost named Ji Hongcha, she defected from the Ghost Capital."
Xia Yi was still frowning, and seeing that she was about to raise her hand to slap him again, Jiang Yuelu hurriedly said, "It's okay. I will be working in this school from today on. You can ask me any questions you have."
"And her." Jiang Yuelu pointed at the small piece of paper tucked into her collar.
"She is too afraid of you, let me take her with me first."
"I'm the teacher of your class. You can find me anytime."
Xia Yi stared at the teacher's thin neck, which would be broken with a little force. Seeing that she had no reaction, Jiang Yuelu said carefully: "You can observe me for a few days and then decide whether to beat me up and kick me out."
"I didn't hit her."
"ah?"
Jiang Yuelu realized that she was talking about her previous teacher.
Xia Yi said coldly: "I didn't beat her, nor did I drive her out."
"She left on her own."
The corners of her mouth curled up in a sarcastic smile, just like before. She turned around and walked towards the dormitory building, "Every teacher who comes here will be afraid to run away. I don't know how long you can hold on here."
Afraid? Afraid of what?
He stood inside the door and made a hushing gesture.
The next second, a scream suddenly came from upstairs in the dormitory building.
-
The screams lit up the entire building. Jiang Yuelu was about to run up when she heard the system shout, "Stop."
【Don't move yet! 】
The system made a whistle sound like boiling water. [Stand there and change! Wait for me to mosaic you. A stinky man wants to enter the female dormitory. What if he sees something he shouldn't see! ]
Jiang Yuelu thought so too and stood there while the system was installed.
Even so, a lot of time was wasted.
Xia Yi had already walked up to the third floor at a brisk pace. He glanced down and said contemptuously, "He's taller than me but not as strong as me."
Jiang Yuelu: “…”
This line is damn familiar.
As soon as I got to the third floor, I saw a few familiar figures. They were resting in the dormitory on the second floor. When they heard the screams, they immediately rushed over. When Jiang Yuelu arrived, Fu Mengru was about to kick the door open.
But someone had already done it before her.
The cold, red-eyed girl kicked the door open, not caring that her skirt was lifted up. She didn't look at anyone and walked in, leaving Fu Mengru and the others dumbfounded.
Jiang Yuelu looked at the broken door with great sorrow.
How would he explain to the Fat Lady tomorrow? He wouldn't be kicked out before he even started teaching.
"Who told you to meddle in other people's business!" Fu Mengru cursed and came back to life. The others followed and whispered to each other while looking at the corpse at the door, "This kick was so fierce and powerful that it broke into pieces. It was even stronger than Mengru's..."
Fu Mengru was furious: "I can do it too!" But she was ahead of her.
She glared at Xia Yi fiercely at the scheming outsider.
The latter didn't even glance at her, and walked to the window, where a girl was standing. Her eyes were blurry, as if she was sleepwalking, staring downstairs, as if there was an evil spirit there that was attracting all her mind and even her soul.
"She is controlled by a ghost!" Xie Xiaoya had learned this before, and she knew what it was as soon as she saw the ghost's lost look.
Fu Mengru said impatiently: "I know!"
She threw the white rope at the girl standing by the window, but she didn't hit the ghost. She gritted her teeth and said, "It's not her."
Xie Xiaoya said: "Downstairs!"
It’s good to have students to lead you. Jiang Yuelu, who was hanging around in the back, glanced around the dormitory.
This is a four-person dormitory, and the other three are missing.
Jiang Yuelu opened the door of the bathroom in the corner. The three girls screamed and looked at her mature yet unfamiliar appearance. "Who... who are you?"
Jiang Yuelu said: "The teacher of Grade 1, Class 3."
Hearing the teacher coming, the three girls relaxed a lot, but still hid inside and refused to come out. They glanced at the window in fear, "Xiaochun's soul was called away by a ghost!"
"She sneaked out at night, she crossed Zala Ma!"
"She will no longer be blessed..."
"Koharu?"
Jiang Yuelu walked to the window, trying to wake up the lost girl by her name. Xia Yi poured cold water on her and said, "You're useless. She can't hear anything you say now."
Leng Wenhan, who had been standing in the corner without saying anything, didn't want to hear others say that about Jiang Yuelu. He suddenly jumped onto the table, his white pupils suddenly opened, and he looked out the window and saw everything.
There was only a street lamp at the place where Xiaochun's soul was taken away.
After a moment, she turned around and said to Jiang Yuelu, "There's nothing downstairs."
If Luoyinguan said there were no ghosts, then there were no ghosts. Even if Fu Mengru hated her, she couldn't say anything to refute her. She cursed, "Hateful, scheming foreign ghost!"
Jiang Yuelu took out the mask and put it on, but she didn't find any trace of ghosts. But Xiaochun looked downstairs in despair, and the three girls said that Xiaochun had encountered evil spirits...
Jiang Yuelu turned around and the bathroom was quiet.
"Ask about the cold."
"Um?"
"Use your white pupils to look at the bathroom."
