Chapter 49 Grave Numbers Above All 11 Sixth Middle School
Because these are very detailed matters, they are not recorded in the archives, but are only kept in the director's work records for each batch.
I wouldn't have known if I hadn't come here.
Next were Gao Hu and nine other students. In addition to their appearance, they were also penalized for being late, such as not returning to their dormitories on time or being late, which made them seem like they didn't want to go to school.
However, perhaps because the remaining nine people had once loved their choices, they did not apply to switch shifts like Ge Nan did. Instead, they endured it, unwilling to give up, and unsure whether their continued efforts would be worthwhile.
After reading it, Wu Wangwang asked Ling Yuanshan at the opposite table, "Young Master, did you notice anything wrong?"
"Their grades are all very stable. Only two students from the regular class, namely Mi Cai and Mi Zi, continued to get high scores for two months after being transferred to the regular class. They even took two mock exams, but their high scores did not get them transferred back to the top class. Moreover, despite being ranked first, they did not receive a place in the honors class," Ling Yuanshan said, referring to the list.
The list of directors is complete, with both the full and revised versions of the results.
In the original version, Mi and Cai ranked first and second, but in the revised version, they no longer exist. This means that no matter how high their scores are, they will be treated as zero points in school, but they will not be punished according to school rules like a real zero.
After two attempts to obtain fair treatment failed, both students developed psychological issues, resulting in a drop in their grades. However, these lower grades were still included in the rankings and were considered their true performance.
Wu Wangwang propped her head up and asked, "Then who reported them? And how could the school believe it without a doubt? Didn't they do a test later? Why didn't they believe the test results?"
This doesn't make sense. If cheating occurs, it's easiest to detect whether someone has genuine talent or not during a separate assessment. Since the scores in the separate assessment didn't drop, why did the school insist on the two people cheating?
Ling Yuanshan rummaged through the grade head's files for a while before finally finding the report in last year's file folder: "Found it, the report letter, let me see... I'm reporting that the top two students in the grade got good grades because they used a Ouija board. They asked the ghost with the best grades in the school to write their exam papers for them, and this will continue until their college entrance exams are over..."
The entire article describes how strange and mysterious the two people are, and how they occasionally talk to themselves, suggesting that they have a spirit attached to them. The whistleblower believes that everyone should rely on their own abilities to achieve their exam results, rather than having a ghost with excellent grades help them.
Wu Wangwang, who had initially looked slightly puzzled, was now completely fed up: "Does the school really believe such things?"
For a moment, Ling Yuanshan didn't know how to answer. If he said he wouldn't reply, what if this was the setting in the game? If he said he would, it seemed like he wasn't being fair to his intelligence. So he could only remain silent.
Seeing that Ling Yuanshan remained silent and only kept rummaging through the drawers, Wu Wangwang understood that he was looking for more clues.
Unfortunately, apart from the notification decision, there was no further information. The notification had already stated the punishment for Mi Cai, and regardless of whether they took individual exams, there would only be one result.
Having reached this point in their research, it seemed there was nothing more they could do. They couldn't find any more reasons why the NPCs were being targeted, nor could they find a solution. For the next month, they would have to figure out how to outwit and outmaneuver the bullying from the school and their classmates.
It was completely dark by then, and everyone had to go back for evening self-study.
Wu Wangwang restored the table to its original state and then said, "We've been running for so long today and no one has caught us. Maybe the teachers have to follow some kind of rule. Since that's the case, why don't we start with those thirteen suicide notes? With this school's rules, I bet quite a few students couldn't stand it and chose to die, right?"
Ling Yuanshan frowned slightly: "In that case, we need to use a computer to search. It's too slow for us to manually flip through them one by one."
But in the past few days, they've visited various archives, and none of them have computers. For such a large school, which isn't outdated in other aspects, it's astonishing that they haven't set up electronic filing systems.
"Isn't there a library? Let's go see if they have any there." Wu Wangwang remembered Ling Yuanshan saying that the archives in the library were no less than those in a dedicated archive.
The library is quite far away. I don't know how the school designed it. Such a beneficial facility for students is located in the place furthest from all the buildings and dormitories, and it's not even near the entrance of the old campus.
Just as Ling Yuanshan was about to nod in agreement, someone outside suddenly shone a huge flashlight through the window, almost blinding him.
A middle-aged man roared, "Which class are you from? What are you doing in there? Who is your homeroom teacher?"
They heard no sound of anyone coming upstairs. The vice principal, who came with a flashlight, was like a randomly spawned NPC, making it impossible to guard against. With Wu Wangwang and Ling Yuanshan's keen senses, they would not have been able to catch them at all if an NPC hadn't suddenly appeared in the game.
The difficulty was still increased too much by the items.
The two were arrested just like that. Their homeroom teacher rushed over, smiling apologetically at the vice principal, and fiercely reprimanded them for skipping class in the afternoon. He said that it was one thing to skip class because of their poor grades, but to run upstairs and hide to date was simply shameless.
Wu Wangwang couldn't help but retort, "We're not dating, why are you slandering us like this?"
In other instances, it's one thing to pretend, but in this instance, dating early will get you arrested, so I can't afford to act like that again.
Ge Nan's homeroom teacher said, "Still dare to argue? This is the vice principal in charge of early dating; the fact that you were caught by him is the biggest evidence!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Wangwang pointed to her head in shock: "Don't you want to reconsider the logic of that statement?"
If everyone caught by the anti-prostitution squad is involved in prostitution, then what's the point of having other police officers? Just arrest everyone you don't like.
But the vice principal chimed in, "Students can't insult teachers. Your homeroom teacher is right. The fact that I caught you two means you were secretly dating here, according to school rules—"
Before he could finish speaking, Wu Wangwang interrupted him directly: "Let's forget about school rules. We really didn't have a puppy love relationship. We came here for different reasons. I came to steal the grade director's official seal so that he would agree to my transfer to another class. As for Gao Hu... he's close to Mi Cai and came to find a letter of complaint."
The reason was so straightforward that the vice principal and the two homeroom teachers were stunned and speechless for a long time.
The vice principal was the first to recover. He pointed at the two men and said, "You... how dare you?"
Wu Wangwang pulled out the student handbook: "Does the school rule state that students are not allowed to come to the office to look for the official seal?"
Believe it or not, this rule is actually not there. The vice principal and the homeroom teacher were dumbfounded. Even if the mortality rate was increased, it couldn't violate the underlying settings of the game. They were truly stumped by the question.
Seeing that they remained silent, Wu Wangwang held up the student handbook in front of the homeroom teacher: "Do the school rules say that we can't come to get a complaint letter?"
The three vice-principals dared not speak. They began to consider whether this instance should be updated to keep up with the times.
School rules, too, become outdated; old rules are no longer effective in restraining new generations.
Wu Wangwang nodded in satisfaction: "In that case, you can't say that we violated school rules. We were just exercising our rights. Moreover, because the three of you couldn't distinguish right from wrong, you delayed my and Gao's time to go back to evening self-study. Therefore, you should accept the punishment."
This was utterly upside down, and even Ling Yuanshan's eyes widened in surprise, wondering if Wu Wangwang was being too audacious.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you blaming us?" The homeroom teacher was so angry that she almost came over and hit her.
“Hey, you know what, it’s actually in the student code of conduct,” Wu Wangwang said, turning directly to the page about being late or leaving early. “Anyone who causes others to be late or leave early will have ten points deducted and will be punished. It’s clearly written down.”
Although this is a student code of conduct, it can also be broadly referred to as school rules. Wu Wangwang is unsure whether the teachers abide by it, but she can find out the answer now.
The vice principal's face was grim. He gritted his teeth and said, "The school rules are written down for those who enter the campus to abide by. Since they have been violated, they must be enforced. However, you two will also be punished for skipping class this afternoon!"
After saying that, the vice principal took out a walkie-talkie and called the security guards. Then, the security guards suddenly appeared from the shadows all around, just as suddenly as the vice principal appeared.
The security guards didn't look or stand the same height, so they must all be NPCs. They were all expressionless, carrying electric batons. After surrounding them, they detained all five of them and escorted them away like prisoners.
They went downstairs together and then went to the old campus. After entering the campus, they separated. Judging from the directions, the vice principal and the homeroom teacher were taken to the administration building, Ling Yuanshan was taken to the art building, and Wu Wangwang was taken to the playground.
At the spot marked with the number 1 on the track, the security guard released his grip. Then, a man who looked like a physical education teacher came over with a folder and blew a whistle: "Ge Nan, is it true that you have violated school rules by skipping class, have a history of violating school rules, and have been given a demerit?"
Wu Wangwang didn't know what the punishment was; it seemed to just be making her run. She said, "That's true."
"In order to reform the students and help them achieve better grades, everything we do is for you. According to the school's reward and punishment regulations, students who skip class must memorize the Blood Path Code while completing their coursework. After multiple violations, Ge Nan, you will have to run three hundred laps this time. Ready—" The physical education teacher raised his hand.
At the same time, Wu Wangwang noticed that the security guards were still staring at her, and they hadn't put down their stun guns.
Before the PE teacher yelled "Run!", Wu Wangwang hurriedly asked, "Teacher! I have another question!"
The PE teacher put his hand down: "What's the problem?"
"Why are the security guards still here?" Wu Wangwang asked, pointing to the NPCs around her.
“Oh, they’re the ones supervising your running. If you stop or recite it wrong, they’ll give you a shock on your calf, and then you’ll have to start over,” the PE teacher paused. “That’s why the top students are always terrified. Once they experience it, they’ll listen and study hard. You’re one of the hardest to teach. Why don’t you just listen to the class and study? You can’t even recite the whole school rules every time you come here.”
So even if Ge Nan could run the whole course, she would still get shocked repeatedly because she couldn't memorize the school rules. She definitely couldn't live like that, but her family wouldn't let her transfer to another class.
Furthermore, there was a period in the middle when she did not violate school rules. Did she come to her senses during that time, or did the person who bullied her have a problem?
All of this requires searching through files for clues. Wu Wangwang's immediate tasks are to complete three hundred laps of running and memorize the student code of conduct.
Surrounded by watchful security guards, Wu Wangwang recited the table of contents in perfect Mandarin, word for word, and no matter how much she ran, her breathing remained unchanged, as if she were a tireless robot.
Later, even the security guards, who had been looking dazed, couldn't help but show a puzzled look: what exactly was running around them?
