Chapter 42 Let’s Vote for Class Monitor
An elegant old man with silver hair and wearing a three-piece suit appeared in front of the three people. When they saw him, they screamed at the same time.
"headmaster!"
Why did the principal suddenly appear here?
Everyone looked at each other, with a hint of panic in their eyes.
The sound of "thump thump thump" was heard. It turned out to be the sound of the principal's cane hitting the ground.
He walked up to the three people step by step, stopped, and looked down at them.
The three little carrots raised their heads and looked at the principal.
Zhang Dongyang said shyly, "Principal, why are you here?"
The principal blew his beard and said, "I want to ask you, why are you running to the library at this time instead of sleeping in the dormitory?"
Zhang Dongyang, who has always been eloquent, was at a loss for words.
The principal looked at them for a moment, and asked with a sharp gaze: "Perhaps someone can tell me what you are doing here?"
Faced with the principal's serious tone, the three of them felt a little scared.
Should I tell the principal about Ming Ruoxiang?
How will the principal react when he finds out?
Will you blame them for not reporting the evil spirits to the teacher immediately?
The three of them were a little hesitant for a moment.
Seeing that the principal's face was becoming more and more gloomy, Li Ping'an gritted his teeth, stepped forward, and haltingly described his experiences during this period.
"…So, the reason why we came to the library so late today is to tell Ming Ruoxiang the cause of her death and help her get rid of her obsession."
She finished her words and looked up at the principal, awaiting his judgment.
Unexpectedly, what I received was not blaming looks, but praising looks.
The principal said in a gentle tone: "Honesty is a necessary virtue for an extraordinary child. I am glad that you chose to be honest instead of lying."
Li Ping'an's eyes suddenly lit up.
She felt that the principal was very considerate.
The alarm was lifted, and Zhang Dongyang came forward excitedly and asked, "Principal, you don't blame us anymore?"
Unexpectedly, the principal changed his tone and sternly taught them: "Your starting point is good, but have you ever thought that this time you encountered an evil spirit that still has good intentions, what about next time? Also, if you promise the evil spirit to find the answer to her obsession, it is equivalent to making a contract with her. What if you can't find it? Will the evil spirit haunt you for the rest of your life? You know, evil spirits are not so easy to eliminate."
It's like giving a sweet date and then hitting someone with a stick.
Listening to the principal's admonition, Zhang Dongyang suddenly felt like an eggplant hit by frost.
He lowered his head and pursed his lips and said, "If we can't find Ming Ruoxiang's obsession, she will probably be sealed in the master's spell for the rest of her life."
The principal looked at him wandering around dishonestly and called his name, "Zhang Dongyang, what are you talking about? Ever since kindergarten, you have always loved to come up with some spooky ideas. Tell me, is this incident caused by you?"
Zhang Dongyang touched his head awkwardly. It seemed that this time it was indeed because of the incredible legend of the library he proposed that a series of events followed.
He said aggrievedly, "But I didn't think there would be evil spirits in the library at first." He rolled his eyes and asked, "Principal, do you know there are evil spirits in the library?"
If even the principal of a school didn't know about the evil spirits, then one can't blame him, a first-grade student, for accidentally causing an evil spirit incident.
As expected of Director Zhang’s son, he has inherited his father’s skill of passing the buck.
This time he even wants to put the blame on the principal.
How could the principal not know what he was planning?
The principal raised his beard and said, "What do you want to say? You want to say that the existence of evil spirits in the library is the school's negligence, right?"
Zhang Dongyang waved his hand quickly: "Principal, I didn't say that."
The principal glanced at him and said, "Do you think that I, as the principal, don't know that there are evil spirits in the library? In fact, I was the one who had Ming Ruoxiang sealed in the library."
"Ah!" The three of them exclaimed. They didn't expect that Ming Ruoxiang was actually sealed in the library by the principal.
"Why?" Li Pingan asked puzzledly.
The principal sighed, "You should have seen Ming Ruoxiang's file."
Li Pingan: Principal, you even know this.
Principal: "Although I don't know how you borrowed the files, there are some things that are not recorded in the files."
"After reading the files, aren't you curious? Where did Ming Ruoxiang's family end up? Also, why was their home sealed by the Supernatural Administration?"
Li Pingan and other two:? ? ? ...I didn't notice it at all.
The principal shook his head and thought: I really don’t know whether these elementary school students are stupid and brave or they are fearless. How did they solve this evil spirit case? It's incredible.
He began to tell about the past that Li Pingan and others didn't know.
It turns out that the truth of the matter is far more thrilling than what they saw.
After Ming Ruoxiang's parents discovered that she could recover her supernatural powers in her sleep, they began to feed her sleeping pills in order to take control of this ability.
As the dosage of sleeping pills increased, she slept for longer and longer periods of time, and later she was not awake for the entire day.
She used her special powers non-stop for 24 hours, and was severely overloaded with nightmares from different patients every day. Day after day, she was gradually consumed by the negative emotions of the dreamers and eventually suffered a mental breakdown.
During a brief moment of clarity one day, her superpowers went out of control and eventually killed her parents and brother. Her guilt over killing her family also caused her SAN value to plummet, and she was killed by the law enforcement team before she turned into a White Walker, and her life forever stopped at the age of eleven.
After her death, perhaps because her obsession was too strong, she turned into an evil spirit.
Her favorite place during her lifetime was the library of the Extraordinary Children's Academy. Only here, no one would disturb her, and she could stay alone quietly for a while and get a moment of peace.
That's why the principal sealed her in the library, waiting for an opportunity to eliminate her obsession.
Now, she can finally be free.
After hearing the whole truth, Li Pingan and others were so shocked that they couldn't recover for a long time.
They didn't expect that behind that light page of file, there were actually four lives hidden.
The principal sighed and said, "In today's society, ordinary people's views on extraordinary people are divided into two extreme camps."
"One is the fanatical followers, who imitate and worship people with superpowers and even think they are the gods of the new world; the other is those who advocate controlling or even imprisoning people with superpowers because they think they are a destabilizing factor in society and may destroy the world."
"Unfortunately, Ming Ruoxiang's parents belong to the latter."
Therefore, they were not close to Ming Ruoxiang from the beginning. In addition, Ming Ruoxiang grew up in a correctional institution, and the family affection was even weaker, which triggered a series of events later.
As soon as Ming Ruoxiang's incident happened, the attitude of the General Administration of Supernatural Beings towards supernatural beings subtly changed.
In the past, the official purpose of establishing the three major supernatural management agencies was to protect ordinary people from being harmed by supernatural beings.
However, I didn't expect that after twenty years, the gap between extraordinary people and ordinary people has become wider and wider, and there have even been vicious incidents of ordinary people abusing the power of extraordinary people.
Some people believe that in order to prevent such vicious incidents from happening, it is necessary to completely cut off the contact between ordinary people and extraordinary people, so as to prevent both sides from hurting each other; some people think that this method is only a temporary solution and the key to solving the problem is not to look at extraordinary people with a strange eye, but to treat them as normal people and let extraordinary people return to their families and return to society.
Principal Dennis holds the latter view.
So, he went against the opposition of many people and put the evil spirit incarnated by Ming Ruoxiang into the library. In recent years, he has also actively changed the teaching concept of the Extraordinary Children's Academy, and strived to make the Extraordinary Children's Academy closer to ordinary schools. He added a series of innovative forms such as electing class leaders, convening parent meetings, and conducting social practice activities. The purpose is to deepen the bond between extraordinary children and their parents, and guide them to gradually integrate into the lives of ordinary people and into society.
His greatest hope is that under the subtle influence of the school, tragedies like Ming Ruoxiang will never happen again.
The principal looked at Li Ping'an and the other two and said earnestly, "The reason why I told you so much is because you have successfully solved a B-level evil spirit incident at such a young age. You may encounter more incidents in the future."
"As you encounter more and more incidents, you will see more and more of the evil in human nature."
"As a superhuman, you have greater abilities than ordinary people in this world, so you must bear greater responsibilities than ordinary people. At the same time, you may suffer greater malice than ordinary people."
"By that time, I hope you can still keep your original aspirations and always maintain the kindness and enthusiasm you have today to help others."
Li Pingan and the other two nodded and said solemnly: "Principal, we will."
The principal smiled with relief.
"Also, since you violated school regulations by showing up at the library after the dormitory curfew, each of you will be deducted 10 points from the final exam."
What! ?
Zhang Dongyang was devastated: "If my dad knew, he would beat me to death!"
Qi Yu's world had collapsed. Wouldn't he lose his perfect scores in all subjects? ?
Li Ping'an's sky... um, there's nothing to be sad about. She is the last in the class anyway, and the only way she can do is move forward and not go back.
It seems that being last has some benefits.
The principal waited for them to finish their screams and then announced another bombshell: "Finally, since you have successfully resolved Ming Ruoxiang's obsession, this case is considered a Class B case by the Supernatural Administration, and each of you will get 20 extra points on the final exam."
Happiness came too suddenly, and the three elementary school students felt like they were on a roller coaster.
Zhang Dongyang cried with joy, "Finally I don't have to be spanked by my dad anymore."
Qi Yu also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he could keep his full marks in all subjects.
Li Ping'an also thought happily that when he went to the cafeteria to see his uncle tomorrow, he would definitely tell him the good news.
The three of them left the library happily and returned to their respective dormitories.
The next day in class, I saw the head teacher announce at the podium: "Okay, everyone be quiet, we are going to vote for the class monitor." I was stunned.
A week has passed so quickly? Are we going to elect class leaders?
Zhang Dongyang wailed, "I haven't even started canvassing for votes yet, it's over!"
This week he was so busy investigating the case of evil spirits with his junior sister that he actually forgot about such an important matter as selecting class leaders.
But he changed his mind and was no longer anxious.
Because his biggest competitor, Qi Yu, has been with him the entire week and has no time to canvass for votes.
In this vote, it will be very suspenseful as to who will be the class monitor.
Under the organization of the class teacher, the voting was completed quickly.
Zhang Dongyang returned to his seat from the voting box on the podium and immediately turned to ask Li Pingan, "Junior sister, who did you vote for?"
Li Pingan thought about it, put his finger to his lips and made a 'hush' gesture: "Is this a secret?"
Zhang Dongyang returned with failure, but still looked at Qi Yu with unwillingness.
"Hey, who did you vote for? Although this is a secret ballot, you wouldn't shamelessly write about yourself, would you?"
Thinking of Qi Yu's obsessive-compulsive nature of wanting to get first place in everything he does, he might actually vote for himself in this vote just to get first place in the number of votes.
Qi Yu: “Heh.”
Zhang Dongyang: "What do you mean? Who did you vote for?"
Qi Yu: "I won't tell you."
Zhang Dongyang: “…”
Li Pingan asked curiously: "Zhang Dongyang, who did you vote for?"
Zhang Dongyang smiled at her and said, "You'll know when the voting results come out. You'll be surprised."
