School Rules
During the morning exercises every day, there was a head count. He Lizhou's roommates rolled their eyes and found that He Lizhou still hadn't come back, and a smile slowly appeared on their faces.
Of course they knew that He Lizhou had slipped out in the middle of the night, but they were afraid that He Lizhou would blame them later, so they did not dare to report it to the dormitory manager. However, when he had not returned by this time, they did not care about their business anymore.
One of them rolled his eyes wider and found that except He Lizhou, the two people with whom he had a good relationship were not there. The smile on his lips grew wider.
The head teacher noticed the expressions on their faces and immediately pointed at them, "What are you doing!"
Several people lowered their heads and avoided the head teacher's sight.
"34...35...36...37, why are there still three people missing?"
The head teacher was a little confused. He looked at his watch and saw that the pointer had reached 44, with one minute left before the deadline.
He raised his hand and counted again, "34...35...36...37."
This time, there were still 37 people. The head teacher seemed to have just realized what had happened. He looked angry and incredulous. "Someone is late! Are you trying to embarrass me in front of all the teachers in the school? Who is it?"
Peng Ningyu watched as the head teacher's expression became more and more crazy, and He Lizhou had not come back yet. Not only He Lizhou, but even Sheng Ju was gone. She couldn't help but take out the dagger to communicate with He Lizhou, but there was no response from the other side.
etc……
Peng Ningyu suddenly recalled the gestures used by the head teacher when he was counting the number of students, and it seemed that he did not count his own number.
She made a very bold decision in her heart. She ran out of the team without hiding anything and walked out openly. The people around her did not react at all, just as she had guessed.
Peng Ningyu guessed that she was probably different from He Lizhou and the others. She had replaced the identity of a dead student, so other students "turned a blind eye" to her because they couldn't see her at all!
Even the reason she went to other places every night was probably because the identity she replaced had nowhere to go and she could only run around everywhere.
In this case...
Peng Ningyu's mind moved, and he took out the new prop, the matchbox.
She struck a match and lit it on the ground. For the sake of aesthetics, the school had laid a layer of grass on the playground, which made it easier for Peng Ningyu to commit the crime. The fire encountered the flammable grass and quickly spread.
No matter how the school had softened the nature of the students on the playground, they could not stop the fire from growing bigger and became agitated.
Seeing that he was unable to calm the students, and that the fire was so strange and could not be put out, the head teacher had no choice but to gesture for everyone to return to the classroom to study.
The students dispersed and rushed back to the teaching building, and the matter of not finding the late student was left unresolved.
The head teacher was unwilling but helpless and could only curse the three students' good luck in his heart.
Teachers and security guards immediately arrived at the scene and began to control the fire. Peng Ningyu added some fuel and turned to run towards the boys' dormitory.
Peng Ningyu knew that He Lizhou and Long Yao went out last night, and he couldn't determine the whereabouts of the two. However, Sheng Ju had not come out since he returned to the dormitory. This was certain. Peng Ningyu now wanted to go to the men's dormitory to find Sheng Ju.
At the same time, Sheng Ju, who was finally awakened by the noise outside, slowly opened his eyes. He held his forehead and sat up, looking around before gradually recovering his memory.
In the early morning, he saw that He Lizhou had not returned yet, and was worried that something had happened. When he was about to go to pick him up, he turned a corner and met... Peng Ningyu?
Then Peng Ningyu knocked him unconscious to the ground.
Sheng Ju held his head, looking confused. Why did Peng Ningyu hit him?
Suddenly, there was a loud sound of fire downstairs, and Sheng Ju realized that it was already bright outside. He was startled and raised his wrist to check the time. It was already six o'clock. He definitely missed the time for morning exercises, but no one came to find him.
Sheng Ju was thinking about not going back to the classroom and slipping out to look for He Lizhou, when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the stairwell. They were a little hurried, but very light, and did not sound like the footsteps of the dormitory manager, but more like those of a girl.
Sheng Ju was still frightened by what happened in the early morning, so he quickly hid in the nearest dormitory and watched through the crack in the door to see who was passing by.
Peng Ningyu ran through the crack of the door. She was afraid of alarming the dormitory manager, so she didn't dare to shout out, and could only search corridor by corridor.
Sheng Ju saw clearly who the person was, but... he was not sure whether this person was the real Peng Ningyu, so he did not dare to act rashly.
Peng Ningyu ran around but couldn't find Sheng Ju in the dormitory corridor. An idea suddenly occurred to her. She stood at the stairs and whispered, "Hotel."
Sheng Ju felt relieved immediately. It was such a meaningless word. If he was not the real Peng Ningyu, he would not have known it.
He walked out of the dormitory, grabbed Peng Ningyu, and asked in a low voice: "What happened down there?"
Peng Ningyu briefly summarized it in two sentences. Sheng Ju was shocked when he heard it, "They haven't come back yet?"
He asked Peng Ningyu where she was last night. Peng Ningyu said that she found a dormitory with a vacant bed and stayed there for the night. She didn't go downstairs to gather at the playground until 42.
This is completely contrary to Sheng Ju's experience.
Sheng Ju didn't want to doubt his comrades, but it was true that he met Peng Ningyu last night and was attacked by Peng Ningyu.
He asked cryptically, "Have you ever woken up at night? Are you sure you are occupying another girl's body? Is there something possessing you?"
Peng Ningyu understood what Sheng Ju wanted to say. She wanted to confirm it, but then hesitated. She was not sure whether there was another soul in her body.
The atmosphere between the two became increasingly subtle, and both of them involuntarily tensed their bodies.
Finally, Sheng Ju spoke first, "Go back to the classroom first. Don't waste the time you have finally gained."
Peng Ningyu also relaxed a little, nodded, and took the initiative to walk in front of Sheng Ju and go downstairs first.
When they returned to the classroom, He Lizhou and Long Yao were already sitting in their seats. When they saw the two people enter the classroom, they couldn't help but turn towards them and handed them a small note.
Just like in the normal world, students can pass notes to each other during class to communicate, just be careful not to be discovered by the teacher.
Sheng Ju and He Lizhou were only separated by a corridor, so He Lizhou threw the note on Sheng Ju's desk. Sheng Ju came to his senses and saw the small ball of paper that fell precisely on his desk. He couldn't help laughing. He didn't expect He Lizhou to do such a thing.
He opened the small piece of paper, thought for a moment, picked up the pen and replied, writing down the conversation between the two of them without changing a word.
The note that He Lizhou sent back again did not mention Peng Ningyu's abnormality, but only said, "It turned out that Xiaoyu was quick-witted. If it weren't for the fire, Long Yao and I would be trapped outside the school and would have no way to avoid the security guards and sneak in. Awesome!"
He Lizhou wrote the last "awesome" loudly and ostentatiously, praising Peng Ningyu's wit without reservation. Sheng Ju opened it and smiled knowingly, then turned around and threw it to Peng Ningyu who was sitting in the middle seat.
Peng Ningyu began to doubt herself, thinking that she was actually possessed by that female teacher, and even hurt Sheng Ju without knowing it.
The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became. Just when she was about to knock herself out to avoid causing trouble for everyone, she received a note thrown to her by Sheng Ju.
There was still fear in her eyes. She turned around to look in the direction of Sheng Ju and He Lizhou, but saw that they were both looking at her with a smile and encouraging her silently. Peng Ningyu suddenly felt full of courage.
She thought that even if Boss He and Sheng Ju asked her to commit suicide at this time, she could accept it.
However, when I opened the note, I saw Wen Yan's encouragement. Even Sheng Ju, after explaining everything clearly, filled in the sentence "I have doubts."
Peng Ningyu couldn't help herself, and taking advantage of the fact that no one in the entire classroom could see her, she ran up to the two of them and gave them a big hug.
He Lizhou and Sheng Ju really didn't expect Peng Ningyu to do such a thing. They were stunned for a moment and finally hugged her in return.
Long Yao looked at the three people's sentimentality with an expressionless face, and when He Lizhou noticed him, he showed a puzzled look.
During breakfast time, several people gathered together and exchanged information.
Originally, He Lizhou and Long Yao returned to school not too late. If they entered the school smoothly, they could catch up with the morning exercises. However, the principal stood at the school gate all night, and the security guards did not change shifts, and they were waiting for them at the school gate.
They had no choice but to change to the other side and climb over the wall, which was right next to the playground. However, as soon as they poked their heads out from the wall, they were discovered by the security guards who were closely watching them.
Helplessly, the two could only continue to wait for a better opportunity.
It was the fire set by Peng Ningyu that caused chaos in the entire school, giving them the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
After saying that, He Lizhou laughed, "So today's hero is Xiaoyu."
Peng Ningyu knew that He Lizhou was trying to comfort her, so she smiled and said, "Of course, you are my lifesaver."
He Lizhou and Long Yao looked at each other and said the key point of their discovery, "This copy is actually a dream of a female student. We saw the edge of the dream when we left the school last night and confirmed this."
In the dream, everyone was pulled into the dream and lived according to her cognition.
Everyone made a psychological portrait of her. First, based on her pathological pursuit of grades in the copy, they inferred that she was probably a person with excellent grades.
However, the attitude of the people inside the school was completely opposite to that of the people outside the school. They were arrogant to the students, probably because they were bullied in the school, which corresponded to the scenes of bullying that He Lizhou saw.
She strictly abides by the school rules because she never makes mistakes by following the rules, and she also hopes that the strict school rules can punish those who bully her.
He Lizhou's props were ineffective against the principal because in her opinion, the principal was invincible and no one could resist him. Plus, based on the sculpture they saw in the principal's office, it was highly likely that the principal was not a good person...
Peng Ningyu was silent for a while, then suddenly asked, "Is it the girl we saw in the classroom?"
He Lizhou nodded affirmatively, "It should be her."
The basic main line has been found, and the current task is how to leave the real No. 1 High School.
Leaving the real No. 1 High School undoubtedly requires "breaking" the dream. There are currently two methods. One is to kill the dreamer, and everyone will naturally wake up. The second is to help her get rid of it and fulfill her last wish.
