Raising his weapon to shield himself, Han Chuan asked Xiao Jin in a trembling voice, "B-Boss, what about us?"
After squinting and staring for a long time, Xiao Jin realized that the ghost in the room had no intention of killing them. Seeing this, she reached out and pushed the door open, startling the two people behind her.
When the door opened, Xiao Jin realized that because of the wall, they had missed seeing someone. On the platform, a slightly overweight adult man with some swelling was standing in front of them.
The other person's face was ashen, clearly not human either.
However, upon seeing Xiao Jin, a flicker of fear quickly crossed his eyes, which Xiao Jin happened to see.
"What's wrong with you guys? Class has started and you're still wandering around outside. Go back to your seats!"
Just as Xiao Jin was wondering why the other party was behaving this way, the man on the podium spoke up. He sternly reprimanded the three of them, but his reprimand sounded somewhat guilty.
This time, even Han Chuan and Wu Tianjin realized that things weren't as bad as they had imagined, and that communication was better than a rush of people.
Xiao Jin decided to see what they were going to do first, so the three of them went into the classroom as the man had instructed.
Forcing himself to ignore the strange looks he was getting, Han Chuan looked around and realized there were five empty seats in the room. Which one should they sit in?
Xiao Jin was also considering it, but when her gaze fell on one of the seats at the back, her pupils contracted slightly. Because on the table there, there was a dried-out skull.
Xiao Jin strode to the seat closest to the skull and sat down. She didn't see that the ghosts around her were filled with fear when they saw Xiao Jin's actions.
Seeing that nothing happened after Xiao Jin sat down, Han Chuan and Wu Tianjin also found seats and sat down.
In that quiet moment, so still you could almost hear your heartbeat, a series of light and rhythmic footsteps quietly rose from the end of the corridor. They were unhurried, gradually becoming clearer as they approached the small space.
Xiao Jin's brows furrowed slightly involuntarily, her gaze falling on the only empty seat in the classroom, her eyes thoughtful.
Han Chuan and Wu Tianjin also raised their heads at the same time, their eyes sparkling with curiosity. They exchanged a subtle glance.
Who would come here at this time?
The next second, a familiar voice rang out, accompanied by a knock on the door.
Lu Jing smiled, leaned half her body out from behind the door, and waved to the man on the podium: "Hello teacher, I'm late!"
…………
Five minutes later, Han Chuan's eyes flickered, and he lowered his head, hesitant to look at Lu Jing's smiling gaze beside him.
Wu Tianjin realized at that moment that none of the survivors in this game were simple-minded. These people were big shots who could afford storage space; he had treated them like fools, not realizing that he was the fool in the end.
"How long are you going to keep watching?" Xiao Jin sat in the chair, staring blankly ahead, while Lu Jing beside her no longer concealed his true nature.
From the moment he sat down, he turned sideways, rested his chin on his hand, and stared at me with a smile.
Lu Jing lightly traced the surface of the desk with his fingertip: "You don't seem surprised at all!"
Xiao Jin glanced at him indifferently: "I have a brain."
Openly borrowing exam papers in class, even after so many players have died tragically, even a pure white flower wouldn't be this innocent!
Sui Feng played through the entire game world with great difficulty, and he could probably only barely scrape together 2,000 points to buy storage space. Calling Lu Jing stupid was just testing Xiao Jin's intelligence.
Xiao Jin didn't expose him at the time because she noticed that Lu Jing was always intentionally or unintentionally getting closer to her. She was curious and wanted to know what he was up to. Besides, she wasn't the one being lied to, so Xiao Jin didn't care.
"Pfft~ Hahahaha!" Lu Jing laughed loudly, his shoulders shaking wildly.
"From the first moment I saw you, I knew you must be an interesting person. It wasn't for nothing that I pretended to be interesting in front of those two idiots for so long!"
The two idiots: "..." Sorry, we were offended!
"However, before I knew it, all three of you disappeared, leaving me incredibly bored, which is why I had to come to you!" Lu Jing shrugged, leaning back on his desk.
The undisguised whispers below caught the attention of the man on the podium, but when he saw that they were directed at Xiao Jin and the other person, he simply ignored them.
"Ahem~ Classmates."
Xiao Jin ignored Lu Jing and turned to listen to what the man had to say. Lu Jing frowned slightly, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes.
"Tsk~"
"The teacher knows that many illogical things have happened recently. Students, please don't panic. The school promises to ensure everyone's safety."
The principal is already aware of this matter. He will meet with everyone in the conference room in one hour, so please don't be late.
headmaster?
Xiao Jin had never seen the principal since she entered Linhai High School. According to the information she had gathered, the principal's office and meeting room were on the top floor.
Xiao Jin glanced at the heads on the desk next to her and felt an itch to grab them.
After finishing his speech, the ghost teacher on the podium left the classroom in a hurry, as if there was something terrifying inside.
His hurried steps, along with the man's departure, instantly shattered the tranquility of the room, adding even more chill to the already gloomy classroom.
The room was dimly lit, and an ominous atmosphere filled the air. The ghost students around them seemed to have been freed from some kind of shackle; their eyes, which had been numb and empty, gradually became fiery.
At this moment, Han Chuan and Wu Tianjin also sensed something was wrong with their surroundings, and they held their props in their hands, ready to use them.
"Click-click-click!"
The next second, the ghost students slowly stood up, their stiff bodies swaying, and greedily approached the three of them.
Han Chuan and the other man couldn't sit still any longer. They jumped up from their chairs and quickly hid around Xiao Jin.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Jin ignored the abnormality around him and immediately reached out to grab the skull next to him, but halfway there, he was blocked by a hand.
Xiao Jin looked up along the large hand on the wrist and met Lu Jing's unrestrained and arrogant face.
"What do you mean?" she asked casually.
Lu Jing smiled and said, "We've known each other for so long, why do you always have this expression?"
"Want this?" He gestured with his chin. "I'll keep quiet, unless... you smile."
Han Chuan, who was not far ahead, stumbled and smiled bitterly to himself.
My goodness, you two! Is this the time to talk? We're surrounded by a bunch of ghosts! A whole bunch!
