Chapter 44 Tree Gao Girls’ High School 04
The bathroom door had just been opened and now it was closed again.
It was not closed tightly, and a half-hand-width gap leaked pale light. The three people who had just crowded together disappeared without a sound. When the others heard Jiang Yuelu say this, they also slowly gathered around.
Leng Wenhan stood in the front.
She stared with her white eyes for a long time, and after a while, she whispered, "There are three."
Fu Mengru grinned: "So it's here!"
Without waiting for others to come forward, she had already seized the initiative. This time, no one would compete with her for the right to kill the door panel. She stomped on it and jumped up on the door that was split in two. She grabbed one of the fleeing ghosts and said, "Where are you running to!" Before she finished speaking, the white rope around her waist had twisted out like a snake, circling back and wrapping around the other two who wanted to escape by jumping out of the window.
"Long!"
Three ghosts tied up like dumplings were thrown into the middle of the room.
Jiang Yuelu: "..." What did he do? He did nothing.
Is this the difference between a trained witch and a layman?
Chen Chuan and Zhao Xiaoxuan were also people who were certified by the academy to possess certain magical powers, but compared with Fu Mengru and the others, their performance in the examination room was completely different.
What's more, Luo Yinguan has not taken any action yet.
Jiang Yuelu noticed an eager gaze beside her and turned her head. Leng Wenhan's eyes were calm and his expression did not change at all, but he could feel that she was so eager that she clenched her fists.
He also tilted his head slightly.
"Well done." Jiang Yuelu rubbed her hair. Two burning gazes suddenly came from behind. One of them must be Fu Mengru. But the other one...
He turned his head and saw Xia Yi standing with his elbows folded.
"We almost ate her..." One of the yellow-clothed ghosts cracked his face and showed his green teeth, "How did you find out! Our disguise was flawless, and no one noticed us all the way into the school!"
Jiang Yuelu said: "Your disguise is impeccable. I have been in close contact with you and I didn't find anything wrong with you."
The Green Fang Ghost screamed: "Why is that!"
"Because your presence here is illogical."
"What's the hurry?"
"What the hell is this Luo?"
Jiang Yuelu said, "Xiaochun walked out of Zhalama, right? Her heels were stained with wet mud, and the snow forest was covered with white snow. Only outside Zhalama, the river where our group passed had wet mud."
"The school has very strict control over students, and she wouldn't have gotten muddy walking around the school."
Xie Xiaoya asked in confusion: "She can sneak out too? Look, she dared to violate the school rules and cross Zala Ma."
Jiang Yuelu affirmed her question like a teacher: "Good question."
"Sneaking out of school is feasible because all you need to do is find a way out of the school. But to be covered in so much mud, you must have walked in the wetlands for a long time." Following the direction Jiang Yuelu pointed, they saw that Xiaochun's heels were covered in black mud, and there were traces of muddy footprints on the ground.
"She doesn't walk so long at school because she doesn't have a lot of time. Besides."
Jiang Yuelu paused and looked at Xia Yi who was standing far away. "You stopped at the blind spot just now to talk to me. Is it because that's the safest place?"
Xia Yi looked at him steadily.
"Although I don't know what it is, it seems that the school has something that can monitor the whereabouts of students. Xiaochun couldn't get past so many eyes, so she ran to the yard at night when she was not allowed to go out, and playfully got her feet covered in mud."
"So she must have walked out of the school, passed Zhalama, and attracted these three ghosts in the snowy forest."
The three ghosts roared, "What does what you said have to do with what I asked!"
"It's very relevant. Be patient." Jiang Yuelu put on a teacher's attitude and unconsciously pushed up the non-existent glasses on her nose. She continued, "We just said that Xiaochun really went out. As for whether the three ghosts are on her body, downstairs, or in the bathroom, we don't know."
Fu Mengru snorted, "Nonsense. I have to try them one by one because I don't know."
"If it's not on her, then it must be downstairs. If it's not downstairs, then it must be in this room." She said, "Even if you haven't found it, I can find it slowly by myself."
Jiang Yuelu smiled: "What a perseverant kid."
Fu Mengru was stunned and turned her head away from him.
"But this takes a lot of time. Maybe you need to swing the white rope around the room to find out where the ghost is." Xie Xiaoya and the others seemed to see Fu Mengru picking up the rope and raising and lowering it again and again, and they couldn't help but laugh softly.
Fu Mengru blushed: "Okay, you are amazing, how did you find it so quickly, tell me!"
Jiang Yuelu said: "I told you, because it's illogical."
Fu Mengru cursed, "Shit..." She wanted to say "shit logic", but Leng Wenhan gave her a cold look, which made her stunned for a moment. She swallowed the last two words, and when she came to her senses, Jiang Yuelu had already moved on to the next topic.
"Didn't you notice? This is a single bed."
Xie Xiaoya exclaimed, "It's a four-person dormitory, with four beds, and there are things on each table."
Jiang Yuelu said: "I thought so at first. But if you look carefully, aren't the things on each table a little strange?"
Everyone walked over to observe, "This one has books and a lamp, this one has clothes, this one has toiletries..." They fell silent, as if something was strange.
Leng Wenhan said softly: "There is no light."
Xie Xiaoya suddenly realized: "Yes! There is no light. According to the rules here, the lights are turned off at 11 o'clock at night. There shouldn't be only one table with a light on it."
Jiang Yuelu rubbed Leng Wenhan's head and said affirmatively: "And you can see for yourself, these books, lamps and clothes belong to one person. If you need to wash your hands, you must come here to get soap and then go to the bathroom to wash. If you need to change clothes, you also have to go to another table to look for them."
Everyone watched him demonstrate between the tables and began to understand a little.
If everyone's belongings are placed like this, it will cause inconvenience, but isn't convenience the most important thing when living in a dormitory? Some people would rather be inconvenienced and place things like this, which can only mean...
"It means the person living here is very scared." Jiang Yuelu said, "If you look carefully, you will find that these things belong to one person. Someone moved them to different places to pretend that he is not the only one living here."
Everyone seemed to see Xiaochun walking around the dormitory like a wandering soul, and out of fear of living alone at night, she filled the four tables in the dormitory with things.
"It's clearly a single bed, but there are three extra ghosts. Isn't it strange?"
"If there is a ghost here, it can only be you."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of clapping outside the room. Jiang Yuelu looked over, a little surprised, "Fat..." He almost said the word "Fat Madam".
This teacher who had left the school not long ago suddenly appeared in the corridor and looked at Jiang Yuelu with admiration, "You did well on the internship test, Teacher Lu Yue."
Jiang Yuelu: “…”
How can this be a practical test? It's obviously an emergency!
Looking at the three ghosts tied together, the corners of the fat lady's mouth curled up slightly, "Let the students of the girls' high school handle the next matter."
She ordered: "Xiaochun, why don't you solve the trouble you caused!"
The girl who had been standing by the window and had been lost in thought for a long time was suddenly awakened from her dream when she heard the sound. A faint yellow-white fluorescence appeared on her neck. Before anyone could react, this seemingly ordinary high school girl raised her hand, made a strange gesture on her chest, and muttered something slowly.
After hearing it clearly, Fu Mengru's face changed: "She is chanting the spell to kill ghosts..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a yellow-white light suddenly lit up, and the three ghosts were burned to ashes amid screams.
Everyone stared blankly at the blue-gray marks on the ground.
“That’s right…that’s right…”
Even the most prudent Xu Li could not hide his surprise, "This is a spell to kill ghosts that only witchcraft students can use."
Fu Mengru looked at Xiaochun standing by the window. They had just tried to protect her, but she easily killed three ghosts? She used the method of witchcraft students...
"Who are the students here?"
-
The next day. Office building.
Jiang Yuelu had learned from the fat lady last night (she introduced herself as Yu Biqiu, but he didn't want to change the name) that in this strange girls' school, the names of the various facilities were different from those in the human world. For example, the office building where he was now was where teachers handled chores and prepared lessons, and it was called the "Office Building."
The girls' dormitory he went to last night has a large attic on the roof, called "Geguan". The teaching building also has another name, called "Xuetang". These names are relatively old, in line with the local level of technological development, retaining traditional concepts and slowly moving towards new technologies...similar to the era of combining the old and the new when the steam engine was just invented.
Because it was too late yesterday, after Xiaochun executed the ghost, the Fat Lady asked the students to go back and rest, and told herself that she would tell her the inside story about the school and the students the next day.
So he came to the quartermaster building early in the morning.
Before the preparatory bell rang, a girl stopped in the corridor to talk. When she saw the fat lady, she quickly greeted "Teacher Yu" and ran into the classroom.
From time to time, someone would lean over the window and cast curious glances at Jiang Yuelu's new face. Although he had been in conferences with hundreds of people, he had never been stared at by so many people of the opposite sex, and his ears turned slightly red.
The Fat Lady quipped, "Teacher Lu Yue, you have to get used to this."
"Hmm? Get used to what?"
The fat lady glanced at the beautiful but innocent female teacher, and her smile deepened. "Fortunately, you are in a girls' high school. If it was a boys' school, a beautiful teacher like you would definitely cause trouble, and we would not hire you."
This is discrimination. Jiang Yuelu refuted it righteously in her heart.
But she still looked innocent and nodded blankly, "Then I'm very lucky."
The Fat Lady smiled but said nothing.
"By the way. You dealt with Xia Yi yesterday, right? How did you get along?"
She felt a little embarrassed to talk about this matter. She had thrown the hot potato to the newly arrived Lu Yue yesterday. She was a little worried no matter how she thought about it afterwards. So she returned to school, and unexpectedly ran into Xiaochun's scene.
She also saw Xia Yi at the scene. This troublemaker who always looked ferocious and could hardly keep calm for a moment was actually standing obediently in a corner. This already made her very confused.
When she mentioned him, Jiang Yuelu's cheeks and brows felt hot.
Originally, only his forehead felt hot, but now even the wound he had cut with a paper knife was making its presence felt... He smiled bitterly and said, "It's OK. I can still hold on."
The Fat Lady nodded, "Tell me if there's any problem. The school won't allow him to mess around."
"I will."
The two of them had unknowingly walked through a long corridor while talking. The two girls ran down the stairs and slowed down when they saw the fat lady. They greeted her politely and left. Jiang Yuelu looked in the direction where they were going downstairs, and remembered the yellow-white light that jumped out from their necks when they were running just now. It seemed that he had also seen it on Xiaochun last night.
"That's the Sunstone Circle."
He turned his head and looked at the solemn fat lady. "The yellow earth, the white holiness. In the everlasting spring deep in the snow forest, there is a divine stone that embodies the holiness of the earth. We made a necklace with it and gave it to each student."
She waved her hand, and a girl trotted over, "Teacher Yu."
"Where's your collar? Is it worn properly?"
"Yes." The girl nodded obediently and pushed up her collar a little so Jiang Yuelu could see clearly.
The silver-white ring, about two fingers wide, was tightly wrapped around the girl's neck, sparkling in the flowing sunlight. Although it was very gorgeous, it felt dangerous when you thought about it carefully.
The neck is one of the most vulnerable parts of the human body. The esophagus, throat and cervical spine are all located here. In grappling and fighting, you will not be taught to deliberately expose your neck to the enemy. The neck is a weak point, and the weak point needs to be protected. But the girl in front of me unknowingly put a tightening ring on her neck, and her thin bones and blood vessels were under the sharp metal sheet.
Jiang Yuelu thought to herself, I won’t let Leng Wenhan and the others install this thing.
Unexpectedly, the fat lady suddenly looked to a place not far away: "...It should be about the same time now. The students you brought should be having their entrance ceremony at the altar."
Jiang Yuelu frowned slightly. He meant that he hadn't seen Leng Wenhan and the others this morning.
He felt something was wrong when this matter was suddenly mentioned at this time.
"What ceremony?"
The Fat Lady was a little surprised, "Don't you know?"
"Every student who comes here must wear a sunstone circle. Ah, if they don't have moon power, then they don't need it." The Fat Lady mentioned an unfamiliar word, moon power. Judging from the context, it should mean witch power, which means divine power. Because her next sentence was praise: "But last night, your students all performed well."
He certainly wasn't stupid enough to think she was complimenting them on their academic performance.
Last night his students only demonstrated their prowess in killing ghosts.
"Seeing ghosts, killing ghosts, everyone's ability is quite good, maybe they can compete with Xia Yi." The fat lady smiled and said, "Teacher Lu Yue, you really brought a group of good students. The scale of our school can be expanded again."
Jiang Yuelu looked at the students in the class who all had loops around their necks.
“Could it be…”
The Fat Lady was very proud: "Every student in our Shu Ren Girls' High School has divine powers!"
