Chapter 200 Chapter 200

Clap, clap, clap.

The applause interrupted Teacher Cui's words.

Teacher Cui and the head teacher turned around and found that a pink-haired boy had appeared in the isolated dead loop space. The boy was smiling and clapping.

"It sounds like a very sincere apology." Li Tu put her finger on her chin and tilted her head slightly, her hair also swaying. "But, there are many things that Teacher Cui didn't say. What is this? Is it avoiding the important point?"

"First, where did the money from the kidnapping go? Second, what happened to Mr. Cui's kidnapping partner? Finally, where is the child's body?" Li Tu held up three fingers. "Just these three questions, please explain to me, Mr. Cui~~"

Teacher Cui froze in place. He turned his head slowly and said, "I... am very short of money, so..."

"It's used to pay off debts, right? Otherwise, Teacher Cui wouldn't have lived so easily these years. Underground loan sharks can drive people to death by demanding repayments, even selling their kidneys is the least of their worries." Li Tu smiled and waved her hand, "Okay, then the second question. What about Teacher Cui's partner? The ransom money is just enough for Teacher Cui to pay off his debts, so you didn't give a penny to your partner? Your partner is not angry? Because he can't be angry anymore, right?"

Teacher Cui pursed her lips.

"Also, the missing child's body has not been found so far, so we can't file a murder case. We can only conclude that he is missing. Why don't you even dare to reveal where the body is? You can just write an anonymous letter to let us know." Li Tu narrowed her eyes at Teacher Cui, who was too guilty to look at her, and said, "Because you are scared. If the police find you based on the anonymous letter, it will be terrible."

"Teacher Cui is repenting, but in my opinion, he has some remorse, but not much. It's more like... a performance knowing that it won't end well in the end? He emphasized that it was not him who owed the money, but his father. He specifically said that he didn't want to kill the kidnapped child, but that his partner was too ruthless, and said that he wanted to atone for his sins with his life."

"Why did you wait until the strange domain trapped you before you said it? You know you can't escape it. There are viewers watching the strange live broadcast, especially after the strange appeared in that state. You know that people outside will sooner or later investigate everything. Why not confess first to win some sympathy points?"

Teacher Cui smiled bitterly: "I am going to die here, why should I ask for sympathy?"

"Leave it to your son." Li Tu narrowed her eyes and smiled. "You used death to wash away your sins. Do you hope that this matter will end here? With a father who is a kidnapper, the son must have a hard time in school."

"He doesn't know anything." Teacher Cui said hoarsely, "I have always taught him to be kind and never... be like me. He is a good child."

"Um, really?"

Teacher Cui immediately said, "It's true. He never steals, bullies others, or fights. He listens to the teacher very much..."

"Eh? So this is what it means to be a good kid?" Li Tu sighed. "If you don't do evil, you are a good kid. The standard for being a good kid is really low. Is this the standard of good and bad in Han Country?"

【no--】

[Please don't smear our Han country! ]

[It turned out to be a fake. I was impressed by his courage before. 】

[Haha, if you dare to do it, it’s true. If you dare to take responsibility, then…]

【In any case, I don’t agree that the father’s guilt extends to the child.】

【In fact, Mr. Cui is also a pitiful person. If his father had not been addicted to gambling, he might have had a good life and become a good teacher.】

[He thought of kidnapping when he had no money. I don't think he deserves sympathy. 】

[In this kind of campus environment, I don’t think he can be a good person. ]

【Agreed, this school is doomed. 】

[The school was established less than a hundred years ago and it has already given rise to a strange area. We should have known how bad it is. 】

[None of the teachers here are good.]

[Yes, I used to be a student here. Let me make it clear first, I was the one who was bullied. The bullies spit, cursed, and pulled my hair, so I didn’t suffer serious external injuries or psychological trauma... Now I have come out of it a little bit. There was a female teacher named Li who was very nice. After knowing that I was bullied, she talked to the girls who bullied me and helped me every time. ]

[Oh, so there is a good teacher. Then, what happened to her? Is she still teaching in this school? ]

【this……】

[I said on her behalf that two years ago, the very nice teacher, Teacher Li, was fired. The reason was that she was not good at teaching students and wasted the children's talents, causing several originally excellent children to fail to achieve good grades. The parents of the students did not want their children to study under her teaching and could not get good grades. The students' grades did not meet the standards, and coupled with the complaints from the parents, the teacher left.]

[Ah, is her teaching so bad? ]

【No. Chengkai Middle School is an elite school, and the main thing they promote is the extremely high admission rate. In fact, Teacher Li is not a bad teacher, but he is a bit average compared to other teachers in this school. Don’t be fooled by the fact that the teachers in this school are not very good, but their teaching ability is top-notch. They can explain the topic in a few words, and they can grasp the key points of the exams very accurately. In order to help students pass the university interviews smoothly, they also specially conducted interview simulations to ensure that they can be admitted. 】

[I am a little jealous of this.]

[It’s a famous school after all, it’s impossible that it doesn’t have any advantages at all. 】

[Shengkai Middle School often has mock exams. If students' scores do not meet the standards, teachers will be blamed, and in more serious cases, they will be fired. Teacher Li was fired because some students deliberately got low scores in the mock exams. In addition, some parents complained, so she had to leave.]

[The school's environment is destined to not retain good teachers. The best of the remaining teachers are those who are indifferent to everything other than students' grades and only care about teaching.]

[It’s just like in the workplace. When everyone is cheating, the only employee who works hard and even asks for overtime will be regarded as an outlier.]

[This describes... I am the type who doesn't want to work overtime. ]

【The topic has gone off track, let’s get back to it.】

[Where is my son's body? Tell me, where is my son's body!!]

[Ah... the victim's parent has come in. ]

[This kind of man does not deserve sympathy. My son is only eleven years old. How could he be so cruel? ! It has been so many years, and I don’t know what my son looks like or where he is lying. I only have one son, and you…]

[Our opinions and views are not important. Only the victim's family is qualified to discuss whether to forgive or not, and we are not qualified to do so.]

[Why? I don’t forgive you!!!]

Teacher Cui's lips were trembling. Finally, he couldn't stand the huge pressure anymore and fell to his knees. "I really have no choice. I need money. I really need it. Those people are not human. They are collecting debts..."

"Don't mind it." Li Tu waved her hands quickly. "I'm not here to blame you. I just heard that there are some loopholes in what you said, so I asked casually."

The pink-haired boy took out a notebook and said, "I'm here to see my homeroom teacher!!"

The female teacher saw the familiar notebook and her eyes widened immediately. She stepped forward to snatch it away. Li Tu moved aside and dodged: "Hey? What are you doing?"

"Here, this is my notebook. Where did you get it from?"

"Where? The teacher's drawer~"

"My drawer is locked..."

"I opened it. It was very easy. I just pulled it and it opened with a click." Li Tu opened the notebook and flipped through it. "There are so many interesting things written in it, some of which I haven't even found out. Teacher, you are really amazing. You wrote so many things down. Are you going to hand them in to the police?"

"That... that's all fake, I just wrote it for fun." The head teacher's eyes moved, and suddenly she thought of something, "Will the images and sounds in the weird domain... appear on the weird live broadcast? You wouldn't..."

"I read it, from the first chapter to the last page," Li Tu said loudly, "with such a loud voice, and very clearly!"

"Ah..." The head teacher squatted down with her head in her hands. If she could leave here alive, she could probably imagine her sad future.

For a moment, she thought that dying here would not be a bad thing.

No, she still wants to live, no matter how difficult it is, she wants to live.

The notebook that had been read aloud had lost its meaning in being retrieved. Compared to this, the head teacher wanted to know one more thing: "How did you get here? Do you know how to get out?" She clearly remembered that Li Tu was not seen when this space was wirelessly looped. He must have appeared just now.

"Come here?" Li Tu pointed behind him, "I walked here just like this."

The head teacher looked behind Li Tu, and the end of the corridor was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.

The reason why she tried so hard to move forward was because the darkness behind her made her feel very dangerous, so she did not consider leaving in another direction.

"Where can we go?" There was a hint of expectation for the new students in the head teacher's eyes.

Li Tu: "Sure, just go ahead. There are some annoying little hands on both sides, but it's okay, just swat them away."

"Little hand?" The head teacher's eyes were a little straight. What does this mean? Is it weird? Not the kind of weirdness that is very dangerous?

Looking at the boy who appeared on the stairs, a few minutes later, the boy stood closer, still with a stern face, looking here expressionlessly.

"Let's go!" The head teacher gritted his teeth. Although Teacher Cui said that this weirdo would seek revenge on him, it was still a weirdo after all. Who knew whether he was the type who wanted revenge or the type who wanted to kill everyone.

Before leaving, the head teacher turned around to look at Teacher Cui, but the teacher was just sitting on the ground, not moving.

The man's eyes were dull and lifeless, as if he had completely given up.

Li Tu tore off his last bit of fig leaf, and was unwilling to leave him any face even before his death.

Before leaving, Li Tu heard Teacher Cui read out a place name.

"Go dig under the westernmost tree." Teacher Cui turned his head and looked at the boy who was getting closer and closer. "Just lie down under it."

After Teacher Cui finished speaking, he saw the Strange opened its huge mouth and rushed towards him. The world in front of him turned black, and the Strange bit off the man's head.

At the moment of his death, the only thought in Teacher Cui's mind was that it would have been better if he had not chosen kidnapping as the way to repay his debt.

Even if I don't pay off my debts, hide my name and run away to live somewhere else, it won't be worse than it is now.

Unfortunately, there is no "if" in this world, and things you have done wrong can never be undone.
