Chapter 57 Shugao Girls’ Middle School 17
The next morning, the teachers were waiting in the quartermaster building.
They were going to the Moon Altar to watch the students' exams with the priest. Jiang Yuelu took a quick look around and only recognized a few faces. Some of the teachers even looked at him with hostility, which made him confused.
The Fat Lady came up to him and asked, "You're not familiar with the procedures yet?"
"Once we receive the order from the High Priest, we can enter the Moon Altar. Remember the story I told you before? If we enter without permission, our fate will not be much better than those teachers who disappeared."
Jiang Yuelu nodded, indicating that she remembered.
The fat lady smiled with satisfaction, glanced meaningfully at the teachers in the distance, and lowered her voice, "They suffered a lot in order to get Xia Yi to wear the Sunstone Circle. It seems that they also hold a grudge against you."
Jiang Yuelu didn't care, "Hate it if you want."
The fat lady smiled and said, "What I admire most is Teacher Lu Yue's determination to be fearless even of gods and ghosts."
"But no matter how brave you are, you still have to have an idea of what you can and cannot do. What happened last night was a one-time event, and I hope it won't happen again."
Jiang Yuelu glanced at her and said, "Why don't I understand what Teacher Yu is saying?"
The fat lady smiled and covered her mouth. "Ah. Such murderous intent. Teacher Lu Yue, I am not threatening you. Someone's divine eye recorded the child Zhu Ling's figure last night, so I went to check it out out of curiosity. When I checked, I inexplicably found that Xia Yi also went back very late."
"Does tutoring take that long? I don't know."
"I followed the footprints and found that they all went to the nearby hunter's lodge. There were traces of sleds on the ground. How far did they go before they needed to borrow a sled? Did Zala Ma get into trouble?"
As the team moved slowly, no one except him could hear the Fat Lady's voice. He listened while paying attention to his surroundings, and eight hundred countermeasures quickly ran through his mind.
"Do you want to kill me? I don't recommend you do it here."
Jiang Yuelu smiled brightly, "Teacher Yu likes to joke a lot, how could I do that? It's not a big deal if the kids go out at night because they want to play. And even though I'm their class teacher, I don't necessarily have to supervise them at night."
The Fat Lady laughed and said, "Oh, you shirked all responsibility, you are worthy of being Teacher Lu Yue."
“Same here.”
They left the quartermaster's building, all with calm smiles on their faces, like masks lightly covering their faces. The Moon Altar was already in sight. In this area, the number of divine eyes increased dramatically, and there were surveillance eyes everywhere. The fat lady could only hurry up and finish what she wanted to say.
"The footprints and the figures of the two students can't prove anything. Your plan was flawless, and even the divine eyes in the classroom were hidden. Although I don't know how you did it..."
It was simple, he only needed to let the six ghosts Leng Wenhan had picked out change into their clothes and stay in the classroom while they entered the snow forest to explore. But he didn't plan to explain it to the Fat Lady, it was not necessary for him to do so.
He wasted a lot of time talking to her just to find out her purpose.
"Zhu Ling must be trying to save Xiaochun. I noticed she often ran out at night long before you came. Since she's involved, the place you went to must be related to Xiaochun."
He neither denied nor admitted it, just listened quietly.
"you……"
At this point, even she, who was calm and composed, hesitated a little, "Have you seen the tree man skull?"
"Teacher Yu."
He didn't answer her question. "Since you know what monsters are in the snow forest, why don't you give the students a better explanation? They know nothing."
"Covering their ears and refusing to listen, and covering their eyes and refusing to see, will only allow them to have a self-deceiving peace."
The Fat Lady smiled bitterly, "You know nothing..."
"When you stay longer, you'll understand why we do this. This is the best option for them." After saying that, the Fat Lady quickened her pace and stopped communicating with him.
The group soon arrived at the Moon Altar. The exam was divided into grades, and they entered in three batches, with Jiang Yuelu in the middle.
He did not take the Fat Lady's words too seriously. As she said, without evidence, even if he reported it to the High Priest, he could just deny it. And after the test just now, he found that the Fat Lady's attitude was a little subtle, and she seemed to have acquiesced to his actions.
Looking up at the Moon Altar, the bricks and stones glowed with a cold white luster. The most proud building in the girls' high school looked down upon them, a group of humans. Under the omnipresent divine eyes, the joys, sorrows, anger and happiness of each of them were revealed.
Neither teachers nor students were very happy in this peaceful and enclosed paradise.
“Everyone…”
A voice suddenly rang out from the Moon Altar.
The teachers said respectfully, "Master Priest."
"Thank you for your hard work."
The sound sounded as pleasant as birdsong.
"We still need your cooperation for today's exam, please come in first."
-
Inside the Moon Altar.
This is a circular hall with a winding canal in the middle, with spring water flowing inside and lotus leaves and lotus flowers scattered around, which makes you feel calm when you approach. The stone pillars surrounding the hall are carved with moon phases, with the moon waxing and waning in a circle.
Jiang Yuelu didn't see anyone.
But the voice of the high priest seemed to spread from all directions. It was so gentle and polite that even though it was everywhere, it did not make people feel pressured.
"Students are already in their seats at the examination rooms. As always, if you have any questions, please raise them on the spot and we will discuss and solve them together."
"For those students who have made mistakes, just give them a light punishment, don't take any real action."
"Let's start with the physical examination."
As soon as he finished speaking, drops of clear spring water rose into the air and condensed into a colorless barrier, from which a picture appeared.
Jiang Yuelu first saw Zhu Ling and Lihua, then the scene changed and turned to another direction, and unfamiliar student faces appeared. He quickly realized that this might be the ubiquitous eyes in the girls' high school.
Looking more closely, one can see tiny balls in the flowing water that form a barrier. They are crystal clear and blend into the spring water, making them difficult to distinguish.
Since he encountered a head planted in the soil last night, he couldn't help but think that these small balls might be human eyes. They are also active and can be used as tools - one is a library, the other is a monitor.
If it were human eyes, the number would be much greater.
He originally suspected that the head found yesterday was a person divided into several pieces, but looking at it this way, perhaps many people were decomposed into countless pieces, with limbs and organs scattered everywhere. So far, they have only found the head and eyes.
Others...
The fat lady leaned close to his ear and interrupted his thoughts: "The teacher who has been staring at you is called Le Mi."
Jiang Yuelu looked over and unexpectedly met a pair of glasses as thick as the bottom of a wine bottle. The sharp vision under the lenses looked even more serious because of the cold light refracted. Seeing Jiang Yuelu looking at her, she couldn't help but straighten her back, full of energy, with the strength and spirit of winning bursting out of her eyes.
"Class 1 and Class 3 were evenly matched in the previous exams, and it was impossible to tell who was the winner. She has always regarded the teacher of Class 3 as a competitor. To be honest, she didn't take the previous teachers seriously at all."
"But you brought Xia Yi to the Sunstone Circle and made her famous. Now she is full of energy and wants to fight you."
Jiang Yuelu did not comment.
"Then she might be disappointed."
The Fat Lady smiled and said, "Is Teacher Lu Yue so confident in his students?"
Not to mention, he wasn't worried at all about the three exams on body, consciousness, and strength.
The only exception was Xia Yi's psychological exam, where he always got zero points...
-
Mirror Flower Water Moon Cave.
Xia Yi passed the first three exams successfully, and the psychological exam was the last one. While waiting at the entrance of the cave, people came out one after another, all looking relaxed. Compared with the first three exams, the psychological exam was the least worrying.
But that's only for others.
This exam, which requires no effort, has always been harder than climbing to the sky for him.
"Xia Yi, it's your turn."
The noisy and laughing students paused for a moment and looked at him in different ways. He walked in as if he hadn't seen anything.
The test was simple: walk into a cave and look at a mirror. He had met this broken mirror about three times, and each time he gave it zero points. This time, he decided to strike first and chop it directly with a knife, without giving it a chance to score.
“Aaaaaaah!”
Seeing him suddenly draw his sword, the mirror demon yelled, "What are you doing?! You are cheating!!!"
Xia Yi glanced at the divine eyes on the top of the cave.
Do you even want to remove the surveillance camera?!
The mirror demon was terrified and tried to dissuade him from this idea. "In fact, I have already seen through your true identity. You are a very important person among ghosts - at least on the same level as the Twelve Chaotic Ghost Wizards!"
"Otherwise, with my ability to find people and ghosts, there shouldn't be nothing, don't you think..."
"Hmm? No...that's not right."
The mirror demon suddenly reacted, "Even if you are the twelve lords of Ghost City, you must follow the common sense of the world. When you are alive, you are a human, and when you die, you become a ghost. Regardless of whether you are a human or a ghost, as long as you have left a trace in the world, your shadow will be cast in my mirror."
"Regret, grief, love, relief."
"Lover, enemy, family..."
"It reflects the people you missed, the people you stayed with, your wishful thinking, your passion. Even if the big and small things in your life ended up being nothing, they are still my reflections in the mirror."
"This is the meaning of our existence as the Mirror Demon Clan."
It gradually became confused. "I can guarantee that even if the twelve Lords were standing in front of me, I could still see all their thoughts when they were alive or dead. But you... you have nothing, could it be..."
"You have no heart?"
Xia Yi listened to its nonsense for a long time and said, "Are you done? Then die."
“Ahhhh wait a minute——!!!” The Mirror Demon was so anxious that he almost jumped up, “Or…or you try again, try again!!!”
"Take a step forward. You won't suffer a loss. You won't be fooled. I guarantee that the goods will be delivered to your door. I will also deliver them for free. I will lose a lot of money if I lower the price. You are not tempted by this..."
Xia Yi said, "What are you crazy about?"
The mirror demon burst into tears. "I'm sad. My favorite thing is to sneak into different worlds. I can be found in anything that can reflect a shadow. Projectors, cell phones, and televisions. I just discovered them and haven't watched them for long, but you want to split me in two. Woo woo woo! I'm sad!"
Xia Yi was so annoyed, "Stop crying, it gives me a headache."
The Mirror Demon sobbed and thought that Lao Liu's temper seemed to have improved a lot, and he was still able to listen to it cry.
I don’t know what kind of Bodhisattva he met recently who has influenced this heartless Old Six.
It tentatively moved its true body water mirror towards it, "Try it again..."
Xia Yi glanced at him casually, his nose not being a nose, his eyes not being eyes, and he actually saw a very incredible scene, petrified on the spot. He couldn't see the inner voice reflected by the mirror monster, but he could judge it from Xia Yi's reaction.
It thought to itself, what a strange thing, why is he blushing?
His face turned red, he took a dozen steps back, turned around suddenly, and smashed the wall with one punch.
“…”
The Mirror Monster and its Wall Brothers sympathized fiercely, as if it was its own body that was smashed. It cried out in pain, “I’ll turn it off right now, I’ll turn it off right now, don’t kill me, don’t kill me, ah ah ah ah!”
Xia Yi turned around abruptly, "Don't close it!"
Mirror Monster: “Ah?”
What does it mean? Do you want to see it or not?
The mirror demon could only dimly light it up for him and observe silently from the side.
After watching for a long time, I found that this guy was very contradictory. He looked once, turned his head quickly, looked again, and then closed his eyes. Did he want to watch or not? I don't know. But it is precisely because I don't know and can't guess that people's reactions are interesting.
The mirror monster clan loves to watch the fun the most!
The students who came in earlier were so boring that they almost yawned and fell asleep. Unexpectedly, Xia Yi, the most boring student, gave them the most fun. The last exam was last week, right?
At that time, he was also one of the boring students, a boring person with empty eyes.
It's only been a few days and you've already changed into a new person?
Xia Yi looked at the mirror and the mirror monster looked at him, both of them were watching with great interest.
This person, in the previous second, was dumbfounded. In the next second, he suddenly raised his hands to cover his eyes, hiding in the gap, wanting to see but not daring to. In the next second, his ears were burning, and his whole body was hot. If there was no cover here, he would have flown into the sky.
People in their line of work generally cannot be curious about what's in the mirror. That's tantamount to prying into clients' privacy, which is unethical.
But now, it was indeed curious.
"Well...how did you see it?"
Xia Yi, who was immersed in it, was suddenly interrupted by it, just like a steam stove that was suddenly turned off, and the air was instantly released and returned to reality. His soul returned to his place, as if he had just woken up from a dream, and he stood there in a daze for a long time.
My brain feels like it has been beaten up by a mixed doubles team. Everything I see is topsy-turvy, and everything seems to be overlapping, entangled, and going in and out...
“Uh…”
He screamed between his teeth and turned around to run away from the mirror.
Only the mirror monster and the smashed wall brothers were left staring at each other.
“…”
"Damn it, what on earth did he see?"
