Chapter 155 Hotel Copy (Thirteen)
Ning Hanqi was stunned for a moment, then calmly cleaned up the dishes. Even though she knew that her previous investigation might have been in vain, her expression remained calm.
It is the 14th now, and there are still two days or so to change the direction of investigation. It is still in time.
She triggered the side quest only after this NPC opened the door, which meant that this matter should be related to him, which helped her narrow the scope of the investigation.
Since there was a group of guest room staff standing outside, Ning Hanqi couldn't say anything, so she could only leave room 516 temporarily. The madman kept staring at her with strange eyes until the door closed. After getting away from those "people", Ning Hanqi told Xia Yingnuan about how she triggered the side quest.
Xia Yingnuan looked at the hideous wound on her arm and refused to admit that she felt heartache, but her tone softened. "...If it hurts, remember to tell me. Don't endure it."
Ning Hanqi didn't say it hurt, but the smile on her face became sweeter.
This should have been a heartwarming scene, but unfortunately it was a bit noisy nearby.
The frightened children were still crying at the top of their lungs, while the truly injured people hadn't even started crying yet, yet they were all crying louder than the other! What? Were they afraid and trying to use their crying to attract something to protect them?
Wait, attract?
"What's going on? Why is there so much noise in the classroom? It's class time now!"
Xia Yingnuan was right. Not long after, the head teacher's voice appeared in the classroom. These kids actually called him over.
Xia Yingnuan's scarlet eyes met its gaze, and the dean stopped at the classroom door. It sensed that Xia Yingnuan's power was much stronger than its own, like a wolf entering a flock of sheep.
Except for the monsters from last night, all the others in this copy are weak individuals, and Xia Yingnuan can easily control them.
They had already discovered that a strange ghost had entered the copy, but the other party had never interfered with the progress of this copy. The ghosts who dominated this copy tacitly accepted that Xia Yingnuan chose to keep out of their way.
Until today, it sensed the breath of danger.
Xia Yingnuan suddenly discovered the key point. Although she couldn't do anything to these little ghosts, the rules didn't seem to say that they couldn't bully the big ghosts?
The power of this dean of studies is about the same as that of the principal, neither of them is very strong, and they can be beaten at will if they are singled out.
The dean of studies found that the scary ghost suddenly smiled at him. The smile was murderous. The ghost's instinct told it to leave here quickly, but the students' fear held it back and it couldn't leave.
"Director, it's a good thing you're here. I have something to tell you." The atmosphere around them became a little dangerous. Ning Hanqi gently squeezed Xia Yingnuan's hand at an angle where no one else could see.
Xia Yingnuan made a "tsk" sound, and the dangerous aura on her body gradually subsided.
After all, there were so many students present, and the dean didn't want to conflict with Xia Yingnuan. Seeing that the other party had restrained her hostility, it said nothing and tacitly acknowledged the existence of this ghost.
Ning Hanqi walked over to the dean and whispered a few words. The old man's expression immediately darkened. He glanced at Ning Hanqi, who still had a smile on her face, then looked at Xia Yingnuan. Then, he pointed at the six culprits who had caused this disturbance and said, "Come here, all six of you!"
"Headmaster, a few students just ran away from the class. I need to find them back quickly. Could you help me keep an eye on them for a while?"
The Dean of Studies couldn't refuse this request, so he could only nod with a sour face and said, "Go ahead. After you find the student, go to the school infirmary to treat the wound."
"Thank you, Director. The child is emotionally unstable right now, so you need to pay more attention to him. It's not his fault this time, so please don't scold him." Ning Hanqi played the role of the teacher that the director of studies most wanted to see, fully expressing his concern for the students.
"But you have to have a good talk with the other five students about bullying their classmates. This kind of thing must not be tolerated. I am a new teacher and the students don't listen to me very much yet, but they are very well behaved in front of you and will definitely listen to me." Ning Hanqi heaped compliments on the head teacher's head.
The little old man curled his lips. This was his duty and he couldn't refuse.
"I'll tell them. Teacher Ning, please go find the students who ran away."
After Ning Hanqi threw a few troublemakers to the dean of studies, she decisively took Xia Yingnuan out of the classroom. Before she had walked far, she heard the dean of studies' furious voice.
These kids aren't left unattended.
Although she couldn't scold them, Xia Yingnuan felt much better when she heard that group of children were scolded by the head teacher.
She wanted to stay there and fan the flames, adding fuel to the old man's anger, but what was more important now was to go to the school infirmary to find some medicine and gauze to bandage Ning Hanqi's wound. Her strength was much weaker than before, and she could no longer help Ning Hanqi heal his wound quickly like she did in the past.
But when she was going downstairs, she sensed that the children she had targeted ran to the school wall together. Xia Yingnuan felt something was wrong, so she paid more attention. Sure enough, those students were trying to climb over the wall.
While the homeroom teacher is injured and has no time to take care of them, these little brats are going to take off, right?!
Xia Yingnuan had not expected that the students would run directly out of the school. If those students really ran outside, would the players have to go out and catch them?
"Those students are trying to climb over the shortest wall in the school. I'll take you there to catch them." The matter of getting the medicine had to be postponed for the time being, and Xia Yingnuan's mood became even worse.
"We have to stop them quickly. Once they get out of the school and try to catch people, it will be very dangerous." Ning Hanqi's expression also became serious.
Xia Yingnuan and Ning Hanqi quickly arrived at the place where the students were climbing over the wall. Fortunately, these children were not tall, and it was very difficult for them to climb over the wall. They could not reach the top even after stepping on the stones. After all the trouble, they still had not climbed out. When they arrived, one of them was smart enough to step on the shoulders of his classmate and barely lay on top of the wall.
But then the student did not continue to flip the money out. Instead, he reached into his pocket and took out a wad of money.
Immediately afterwards, a head popped out from the other side of the wall. The other person was wearing a mask and a baseball cap, hiding himself tightly. However, Xia Yingnuan didn't need to see its face to identify the ghost. The disgusting power that could not be killed last night had already exposed its identity.
Similarly, the other party also noticed them.
Although it couldn't be killed, it must have felt uncomfortable being thrown into the "meat grinder" and killed countless times last night. Otherwise, it wouldn't have decisively pushed the student down the moment it saw Xia Yingnuan, and then turned around and ran away.
However, since this NPC wants to perform, Ning Hanqi naturally has to cooperate with him to continue the play. After all, if nothing unexpected happens, this is the process of the side quest.
After thinking for three seconds, Ning Hanqi, who seemed to be "scared silly", had tears in her eyes. She asked the madman tremblingly what to do next. She looked completely at a loss and could only wait for the madman to help her.
Even though Xia Yingnuan knew that her helpless and pitiful look was just an act, she couldn't control her soft heart, which made her even more deceptive to others.
The madman rolled his eyes and said, "You still need to work now, right? I'll give you a few talismans to keep close to you. I'll find a way to leave and take you with me. Remember, don't tell anyone else about what's happening here! If the ghosts hear our plan, they'll definitely be wary! It won't be easy for us to escape then."
