Chapter 95: Real Illusion (6)
=========
Yi Han was not interested in their reactions, but after waiting for a long time, Jiang Yan's ghost did not come out.
Ghosts can definitely come out at dawn. After all, when Yi Han had a fever last night, his mother's ghost was still by his side to take care of him. It's just that they are less dangerous during the day, which is why he chose this time to do it.
After waiting for a while, Yi Han heard the sound of people walking hurriedly in the corridor. It was probably the dean of studies or someone like him who went to the next class to look for the male teacher involved, but didn't find him.
A few minutes later, the footsteps became more frequent. Many people were walking around and talking in low voices, but I couldn't hear what they were saying.
Yi Han looked around the utility room. It was small and dimly lit, the perfect place for ghosts to appear, but the senior refused to come out. If things didn't progress, the people outside might find this place soon, and it would be difficult for Yi Han to escape.
"It seems that senior sister is still not satisfied." Yi Han sighed, then turned his head to look at the small window next to him.
He was now on the third floor of the high school teaching building. The windows of the utility room were not big, but there were no guardrails outside - that is, if someone really came, he could actually jump down to escape. It was just that the third floor was not very low, so it was a bit easy to fall to death.
Unless there are two scapegoats.
Yi Han tilted his head to look at the two unconscious villains lying on the ground, who deserved to die. He immediately found a rope from the cabinet in the utility room, moved the two men to the window, and then tied himself and the two of them together like a sandwich.
This was quite troublesome, and Yi Han was relatively weak now. By the time he had finished tying him up, the corridor outside was already in chaos. Someone had discovered that the utility room was locked from the inside, and was knocking on the door and asking if Teacher XX was inside.
Yi Han tied the rope tightly and pushed the male teacher, who had half of his body leaning against the window, down hard.
The rope dragged Yi Han in the middle and the rich second-generation male student on the other side, and they immediately fell down the stairs together.
Although well prepared, Yi Han had never done anything like this before, so he wasn't sure if this trick would work. Behind the teaching building was an empty lawn, and there were a lot of old cement bricks, wooden boards and other debris piled up against the wall, and it looked like no one had been here for a long time. Several people were tied together and fell to the ground at the same time. Yi Han, who was the sandwich, was still so upset that he saw stars and almost vomited.
After they landed, they rolled several times and stopped after hitting some debris. Only then did Yi Han feel as if something cool had covered his forehead, but it quickly disappeared after he steadied himself.
He struggled for a while, cut the rope with the knife he had prepared beforehand, stood up, and was stunned when he saw the two cannon fodders.
If you fall from the third floor onto the relatively soft grass, you may not die if you are lucky.
But I don’t know if it was because they had bad character and they got their retribution, but after the male teacher and the rich second generation rolled around a few times, coincidentally, one of them hit his head on a rock and the other hit his head on a concrete slab. Both of them had bloody heads and it was unknown whether they were alive or dead.
There was actually a piece of protruding gravel at the place where Yi Han had just climbed up, but he touched his head and didn't feel any particular pain at all.
Thinking of the cool touch that supported him when he landed, he knew that the ghost of the senior sister should have been by his side. The feeling of that hand touching his forehead was very similar to the hand of his mother's ghost last night.
"It's Teacher X, they jumped down!" A noisy voice suddenly came from the window upstairs.
When Yi Han looked up, he saw several people crowded together in the window, looking out. They were all adults he didn't know, probably teaching staff.
"Call 120!"
“And call the police!”
"Notify the guard to close the gate and don't let the child escape!"
There were probably some relatives of the principal in the utility room. When they saw Yi Han jumping off the building with the principal's nephew, they immediately shouted, not afraid that Yi Han would hear them.
This is understandable, because the school covers a large area, with four school gates, which are far away from the high school building. Even if Yi Han heard the warning, he couldn't escape before the guards locked the gates. The school walls are very high and have barbed wire on them to prevent students from climbing over the walls. As a 10-year-old elementary school student, Yi Han couldn't escape.
The school staff and the principal's confidants were confident of victory, so they split into two groups. One group went downstairs to take care of the two unconscious people and waited for the ambulance, while the other group rushed to the gates of various schools, waiting to catch Yi Han.
Unexpectedly, after a long time, the ambulance took the two injured people away, the police car entered the campus to investigate, and even the tabloid reporters rushed to the scene, waiting to dig up some dirty laundry on this famous key middle school, but no one found any trace of Yi Han, the troublemaker.
At noon, the students also heard the news and talked about this gossip while eating in the cafeteria.
"I didn't expect that such a serious-looking teacher would secretly keep private photos."
"Hahaha, she's pretty, otherwise how could she attract so many male classmates to throw themselves at her~"
"I think so too, but that guy is really a bit pitiful. This matter can't be blamed entirely on him. Jiang Yan's reputation is like that, and he even played a honey trap. This boy was deceived."
"That's not the case. They are not good people. Flies don't bite cracked eggs. A fly and an egg, don't say they are a good match."
…
Although the confession video has shown that Jiang Yan's tragedy was entirely caused by the rich second-generation male classmate, people seem to never hesitate to be malicious towards others. Especially when the other party is a girl who has already been splashed with dirty water by them.
Yi Han had not left the campus yet, and was eating with a table of elementary school students. Hearing the high school students at the next table insulting the deceased in their conversation, he could not help but frown.
Jiang Yan's ghost never showed up and never responded, but he knew she should still be with him. Yi Han was afraid that these people's remarks would irritate her again. If Jiang Yan got violent, it would be difficult to get any clues from her.
"Sister, don't listen to them. Wait until night time, I will find a way to blow up the entire school to avenge you." By the sink where dishes were washed, Yi Han spoke softly to the air around him, taking advantage of the sound of running water, hoping to calm the female ghost.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yan, who had never paid attention to him before, actually replied this time.
"...I'm used to it." A light female voice sounded in my ears.
Yi Han turned around, but found that there were only a few male classmates washing dishes around him, but no sign of the female ghost.
In the evening, the police cars and reporters had already left, the principal's people had not found Yi Han yet, and it was time for the elementary school to be dismissed.
The school gate could not be kept closed all the time, so the school had no choice but to open a large gate, but arranged guards and faculty members to monitor the door closely, hoping to catch Yi Han in the crowd.
Yi Han was hiding in the shadow of the primary school building at this time, waiting for school to be over so that he could follow the group of primary school students.
But he was a little hesitant now, because the ghost sister ignored him again after noon. He tried to ask many questions, but got no response.
There was no way Yi Han would stay in school at night. He had to take advantage of the opportunity when the elementary school students were out of school to leave. But if he couldn't get any clues from Jiang Yan, it would mean that today's trip would be in vain. He definitely didn't want such an outcome.
"I'm leaving, sister." He finally said to the empty shadow beside him, "I don't know if you can leave school. If you can, you should come with me and leave this disgusting place."
The sky gradually darkened, the shadows of the trees were thick, and the autumn wind was unusually chilly. Yi Han tightened his school uniform and waited for a while, only to find that the female ghost still had no intention of showing up.
"In fact, I used to be bullied by classmates and teachers," Yi Han continued to try, "Because I didn't like making friends and didn't like to play with others, the teacher scolded me in class, saying that I was dark-minded and unsociable. My classmates also teased me, secretly tearing up my books and putting bugs in my lunch. Later, I found the pranksters and beat them up severely, and stuffed thumbtacks into their cushions, which pierced them badly. As for that teacher, I secretly took a photo of him receiving the red envelope and reported him anonymously to the Education Bureau. As a result, he was transferred soon. After that, no one dared to mess with me again."
After saying this, Yi Han's ears moved and he seemed to hear a gentle exhalation.
There is a chance!
He quickly followed the topic, pretending to sigh helplessly and continued, "But this kind of life, when I think about it, it's really boring, sister. A few days ago, my parents also passed away for some reason. I have no relatives in this city. Every day I face vicious classmates, unreasonable neighbors, and an empty home."
"I don't want to live this kind of life anymore. I want to leave here. Sister, do you know what to do?" Yi Han laid a lot of groundwork and finally asked his question in a meaningful way.
If this were a game, then Yi Han would have been asking the NPC a question with keywords, and the NPC would have given a clue after recognizing it, but Jiang Yan still didn't speak.
School is about to end and this is the last chance.
Yi Han was anxious, but still unwilling to give up. He stood in the shadow of the corner, silently wrapping his loose school uniform tightly, thinking about saying a few more words.
"This world is disgusting in the first place. It's the same no matter where you escape to." Suddenly, a vague female voice sounded.
Yi Han hurriedly listened carefully.
"There is no safe haven in the living world. But after death, perhaps there is."
Jiang Yan's voice was very soft. When she spoke longer sentences, you could hear that she was actually tired. But when she said this, there seemed to be some hope in her voice. Yi Han was stunned for a moment, and then he heard the music for the end of class playing on the loud speaker in front of the teaching building. The sound drowned out the volume of the two people's previous conversation. Yi Han knew that even if he continued to ask, he would not be able to get an answer.
In just a few seconds, elementary school students ran out of the building in groups, and the entire elementary school district became noisy.
Yi Han felt the chill that had been around him throughout the day gradually dissipate, and he knew that Jiang Yan's ghost had left.
In this illusion, ghosts cannot leave the place where they died, but fortunately now they have received a hint. Yi Han glanced at the sky, then blended into the crowd, successfully dodged several people waiting to catch him, and left the campus.
"There is no safe haven in the living world, but there may be one after death - does that mean that if you want to leave this fantasy world, you need to die first?"
Yi Han walked towards the bus stop, feeling very hesitant.
Due to system rules, all copies of the game world must give relevant clues during the clearance process, but these clues may not all be hidden in the NPC lines. Yi Han is not sure that the clearance method given by Jiang Yan is correct. After all, the hint of "die once"... The cost of trial and error is too high, and he must find more clues.
Yi Han took the bus home with the real elementary school students. Ten minutes later, he got off the bus on the road in front of his home.
It was already dark. He walked into the gate of the community and a small black ball came over with a meow. It was the little black cat from last night. When Yi Han took the police home this morning, the kitten had hidden nearby. He didn't expect it to come to him again.
Yi Han was alert and kept an eye on his surroundings, wondering if this "black cat" was some kind of clue.
I had only taken a few steps when I felt the cat biting my trouser leg, as if trying to stop me from moving forward.
"Hmm?" He stopped, looked at the cat, and then looked at the residential area in the dark.
For some reason, the two street lights in front of his house were not on today. Yi Han looked up at his window and saw the two ghostly figures that resembled his parents still standing in the light.
What was different from last night was that they raised their hands and waved at Yi Han, as if saying to him: Run!
