If someone isn't a newcomer and dares to live alone, it shows they have confidence.
From this perspective, Meng Chengxi's value is much higher than his, so the probability of him plotting against him is very low.
Although Shi Jinzhe himself knew he had no ulterior motives, others didn't.
He looked up and asked Sheh's opinion in a low voice. What if she was unwilling, changed her mind halfway through, or became unhappy and showed her true colors, acting like a mad snake towards him?
Would you be willing to let him join us?
Sheh turned his head toward Meng Chengxi without saying a word.
Shi Jinzhe understood. She didn't care; that meant it was fine. He nodded to Meng Chengxi, "We can do activities together for now."
Upon seeing this, Meng Chengxi secretly confirmed that they were not autocratic individuals and would be easier to work with. Choosing these two was indeed the right decision.
Seeing that Shi Jinzhe's movements were inconvenient, he didn't stand on ceremony. "Let's go then. The school is on summer vacation now, so we won't see any students. But since it's a charity school and the name of the copy is also a charity event, there must be some connection. We might be able to find some clues."
He led the way, the weather was still gloomy, gray clouds hung in the sky, and the whole scene seemed to be covered with a gray-blue mask.
The muddy road is difficult to walk on, and you must always watch your step.
A strange smell wafted through the air. Sheh carefully identified the scent, and instinctively extended her forked tongue, forgetting that it would disappear once she turned into a human.
Her indifferent mood suddenly turned sour. She pinched Shi Jinzhe's shoulder, causing him to involuntarily contract his shoulder blade in pain.
Shi Jinzhe looked up and saw Shehe biting his tongue. He asked cautiously, "What's wrong?"
"There are people behind us, but we don't know who they are, so we can't tell who they are."
"So you want to... change back?"
"There's mud."
Sheh felt disgusted, but wanted to change back. The gazes behind her were constantly fixed on her, making her very uncomfortable. She hated being spied on.
Shi Jinzhe felt his shoulders were almost bruised from her pinching, and the weight on his arms kept increasing. He endured the pain and said, "Soon, the school ahead will be on a concrete surface."
He tried to distract Shekh with his words, "Do you know how many people are behind us? Aren't they the people who live in the same building as us?"
"Two, yes."
The people behind her were not only spying on her, but also whispering to her, clearly plotting something. Shekh's displeasure was written all over her face.
When Meng Chengxi, who was leading the way, heard the footsteps approaching, he turned around and saw her looking so depressed.
He tensed up; how could this person suddenly become so frightening?
The questions he wanted to ask stuck in his throat. He turned back and decided to ask less and pry less. After all, everyone in the game has their secrets.
The school gate was right in front of him. Shi Jinzhe walked past him quickly, saying, "Two buildings, I'll go to the left and you to the right, then we'll meet on the playground."
Before Meng Chengxi could answer, he kicked open the school's large iron gate. There were two three-story teaching buildings; he entered the one on the left.
During summer vacation, the classroom doors were locked. He asked Shekh, "Can you open the door?"
Sheh pulled his hand away and placed it on the door lock. A second before their hands separated, Shi Jinzhe felt as if his arm was about to be crushed. There was a hissing sound of corrosion coming from the door lock. He kicked open the classroom door.
"I let go."
After the words were spoken, Shekh was taken into the classroom.
He slammed the door shut, stood outside, rolled up his shirt sleeves, and saw small marks of snake scales pressed into his arms. No wonder it was getting heavier and heavier; her big tail looked so heavy.
It seems that holding hands is not a foolproof solution; if she has a strong desire to transform, she might still be able to transform back.
Shi Jin thought that he still had to find a way to overcome his fear of snakes, otherwise, if they were really in danger, even if Sheikh was willing to protect him, he would be so scared that he would stand still and be a hindrance.
Unsurprisingly, she's the only help he can get in this game.
There was no sound in the classroom. He knocked on the door, took a deep breath, and said, "I'm coming in."
In the classroom, Shekh had transformed back into her original form. She straightened her tail, stretched her upper body, raised her head, and flicked her tongue twice in the air before retracting it.
She swam to the window, moving very carefully, and her snake tail did not touch the corner of the table as she swam.
Although its upper body is human, its behavior is very much like that of a snake, especially when it wants to go to higher places. The way it swings its waist is exactly the same as the way a snake moves. No matter how beautiful its face is, it makes Shi Jinzhe afraid.
He stiffened and closed the door. Although he knew Shekh was unlikely to pay him any attention, Shi Jinzhe still asked, "Did you find something?"
Shekh remained silent.
She originally intended to deal with those two people, but another scent that appeared here caught her attention, and now she is wholeheartedly analyzing that scent.
Shi Jinzhe had no choice but to ignore him...
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a book on a table.
He walked past Shekh's tail and went to the table with books on it, including a fifth-grade English textbook.
The words above are written with slightly large spacing, indicating that it was written by someone who is not very used to using English or is quite unfamiliar with it.
Shi Jin flipped through the book and found that it was mostly written in the same font. Underneath the English book was a thin notebook. He opened the pages and found that the handwriting there was much neater.
Not only is it neat, but it also contains many obscure words, some of which he had to think about for a while.
He carefully put the books away untouched. For elementary school students, these were absolutely unnecessary vocabulary books; they were at least at the level of an English major.
An unfamiliar textbook and a well-written English notebookâthe owners are perhaps the students and teachers here.
While he was thinking, Shi Jin suddenly felt a weight on his foot. He didn't know when, but Shekh had returned to his side and its tail had swept across his shoe.
"There was someone here just now; there's a damp, earthy smell."
As Shekh spoke, he continued to flick his tongue at him, and that very faint, comforting scent emanating from Shi Jinzhe reappeared. She moved even closer, saying, "You smell so good."
Shi Jinzhe almost couldn't catch his breath.
Help! She's not going to eat me, is she...?
"It smells much better than those two guys who were following behind us."
"Just now?" Shi Jinzhe's tense heart relaxed, but Shehe's breathing was too heavy. "You mean the people following behind us? Can you still tell who they are?"
"The third room from the left, two men."
He didn't recognize the player in this position, so Shi Jinzhe decided to ask Meng Chengxi later.
He glanced around the classroom; there was nothing else unusual. Judging from Sheikh's earlier behavior, someone had been reading an English book here before they arrived, and then left through the window.
Through the glass, Shi Jinzhe could see a thick fog falling outside, its color so white it was almost viscous, and the room felt rather cold.
He took Shekh's hand and picked him up again.
Although it was a cloudy day, the fact that such a thick fog descended so quickly seemed strange; it was best to leave first.
As he was leaving, Shi Jinzhe glanced at the blackboard and immediately noticed that the answer to the math problem was wrong. He couldn't stand it and frowned, saying, "This answer is wrong. Give me two seconds." He then quickly changed the answer to the correct one.
Shekh, as if sensing something, suddenly raised his head and looked up at the ceiling.
