Chapter 76 Haunted High School (10)
In the dim classroom, a circle of candles were placed around the table, and the candle flames were burning dimly. No one knew who lit them.
In the light of candlelight, the faces of many players were hidden in the shadows. Just as the big sister said, some people were secretly staring at Su Yue with malicious eyes. At a glance, they looked like ghosts ready to devour anyone.
Su Yue glanced around expressionlessly and ignored these people.
Be it envy or malice, if someone holds a grudge against him, he has no need to care.
Anyway, it wasn't him who was haunted by the Pen Fairy.
"Do you still want to ask for the Pen Fairy today?"
"Wouldn't it be a bigger problem if I invited you again?"
"It seems like it won't be a problem if I refuse to participate..."
The whispers merged into one, then ceased the moment the door was thrown open. The NPC president walked into the classroom, his lips curling up in even arcs, revealing a gentle, eerie smile. "Good evening! Everyone is punctual today."
.
The atmosphere in the classroom was already bad due to the eerie white candles and the strange music, and the arrival of the president made the situation even worse.
When Su Yue and the others arrived, the seats near the president had been vacated, so they had to sit there. Even so, the people sitting a little further back but still quite close to the president still had very bad looks on their faces.
"We organized our first fairy-inviting event yesterday, and it went really well," the president said with a smile. "I hope everyone can feel the charm of the fairy-inviting event."
Su Yue: "..."
It would be fine if the president was some hidden villain, but the problem is that from yesterday to today, he looks like a middle school student who loves superstitious activities.
This made Su Yue speechless.
What's the charm of this **summoning immortals game!
The others obviously felt the same way, exchanging looks that said, "I'd rather be killed by the ultimate evil NPC than by a stupid NPC."
But before the president could say anything else, the classroom door was pushed open again.
This time, the person who walked in with the crisp sound of high heels hitting the ground was the head teacher who always liked to make people write self-criticisms.
.
The appearance of the dean of studies was beyond the expectations of all the players. In fact, it did not seem to fit in with the setting, because the president of the Summoning Immortals Club showed a very surprised expression, and even Wei Wan looked up at the dean of studies.
Neither NPC expected her to be here.
The Dean of Studies didn't give the students time to guess. She came in furiously and furiously. As soon as she stood still, she demanded, "Something very precious has been lost at school. Does your club have any clues?"
Su Yue looked at Cang Zhi in confusion, and ran to the club classroom without any reason. Without telling anyone what was lost, he started to interrogate the suspect directly.
Is there anyone else who can say such weird things?
What kind of personality does this headmaster have?
The Dean of Studies looked at Su Yue with a sharp gaze and shouted, "You two! Stop flirting with each other!"
Su Yue: "..."
Why are you flirting with each other?
Fortunately, Su Yue's embarrassment didn't last long, because soon a student bravely asked, "Teacher, what did you lose?"
The Dean of Studies replied with a sullen face, "The most important souvenir for the anniversary celebration is the Ruby Goldfinch, a century-old treasure of Jinling University."
This is what Cangzhi just told Suyue this afternoon. It is the ruby goldfinch statue, the treasure of Jinling University, which will serve as a witness to the celebration at Jinling University's anniversary.
.
The classroom was silent.
Obviously, this is another part of the main plot. This game has two plots in total, one is the club that invites the spirit of the pen, and the other is the school anniversary that will be coming thirteen days later.
Now, the school anniversary plot has entered a new stage.
"Did any of you steal the goldfinch?" asked the dean.
As she spoke, her eyes looked around like radar, and the temperature in the entire classroom seemed to drop a few degrees just by her glance.
The classroom was silent.
"The Ruby Goldfinch is the symbol of Jinling. If anyone has taken the Goldfinch, and they come forward now to admit their mistake and return it to its rightful owner, we'll show them leniency." The Dean narrowed his eyes. "If we find out later... we'll show no mercy."
Except for the president and Wei Wan, everyone in this classroom is a player. Players certainly won't have the leisure to steal key items like the goldfinch statue if they don't have any clues, so the probability of a thief in this classroom is very small.
The dean's expression was stern and scary, and coupled with the rows of candlelight that made everything look like will-o'-the-wisp, it was no surprise that the players were speechless.
"Director." The president of the Inquiring Immortals Club suddenly bowed and said politely, "If there are no clues, I hope to lead some club members to personally ask the Pen Fairy Master for the whereabouts of the goldfinch. This can be considered as a small contribution of the club to the school anniversary."
Su Yue: "..."
You are asking the gods to come again. You really think you didn’t die early enough, right?
.
The players obviously thought this was too outrageous and exchanged looks of surprise.
The Dean of Studies readily accepted this idea, or perhaps her desire to retrieve the Goldfinch outweighed everything else. She nodded and agreed, "Okay. Does anyone want to come and ask for help?"
Everyone knows that if you participate in the spirit-inviting ceremony, you will have nightmares at night, be haunted by the spirit of the pen, and may even die. Of course, no one answers now.
Even the president himself had no intention of actively participating in the invitation, and was quietly waiting for the club members to raise their hands.
"Look at your audacity. You wouldn't dare steal a goldfinch even if you were offered one," the Dean of Studies muttered to himself with a sneer. "The ruby goldfinch is precious, but everyone knows it's the emblem of Jinling University. Ordinary students wouldn't have anywhere to sell it even if they stole it. In my opinion, the only people who would actually steal a goldfinch are those poor students who can't even afford to eat, so they'd set their sights on it."
"I will go back today and check the list of poor students. I will knock on the dormitory doors one by one and ask them all." The dean said to himself proudly.
Su Yue thought that this was completely illogical. Why would poor students steal goldfinches? This was too presumptuous. There was not even any evidence. If the dean of studies wanted to blame poor students for such a thing, it would be even more shameless.
Just as I was thinking about it, the chair leg next to me made a slight sound.
Wei Wan stood up from his seat.
.
The players in the classroom had more or less heard of Wei Wan's "strange stories" and had long admired his "renowned name", so when Wei Wan stood up, the people around him fell back in unison like blooming flowers, just to distance themselves from him.
Wei Wan turned a blind eye to all this. He pressed his slender fingers against his temples and looked at the dean with a calm expression.
Wei Wan said, "Let me do it."
"Why are you here?" The dean was stunned.
"I'm here to ask the immortals for help." Wei Wan said calmly, and walked towards the table in the middle of the classroom.
The candle flame flickered, as if it was going to swallow up Wei Wan's thin figure. Looking closely, Wei Wan was still frowning, as if his head was still aching, but he looked very calm, so calm that he didn't even care about his own life or death.
All 22 people in the classroom watched in silence as he walked to the table for summoning spirits.
.
Yesterday it was proven that summoning spirits can really summon things. Under this premise, it seems a bit cruel to let a frail boy like Wei Wan go alone to summon spirits.
"Shall we go together?" Cangzhi asked Suyue in a low voice.
Su Yue hesitated and shook his head: "This should be the main plot. We can't change anything if we go there. Wei Wan is the protagonist in this game, so it won't be easy for him to get into trouble."
Suddenly, the dean roared, "I told you to stop flirting! It's immoral! Do you understand?"
Su Yue, who was seriously thinking about the plot: "..."
Go to hell.
