My leave request was not approved.
The head of academic affairs was in the teachers' office recounting the students' repeated truancy, severely criticizing the homeroom teachers for not fulfilling their duties. The class monitor entered just as she angrily demanded that every student sign in again to see which student was being mischievous and not paying attention.
So when the class monitor and the homeroom teacher mentioned the request for leave, it was immediately rejected by the angry homeroom teacher.
The girl shrugged, nonchalantly walked out of the office with her hands behind her back, and at the door, she casually draped her arm over Cheng Shuang's shoulder, saying, "Let's go back to the classroom!"
This is the fifth floor. The offices of the homeroom teacher and subject teachers are on both sides, while the principal's office occupies the largest area in the middle.
Cheng Shuang lowered her eyes. The first, second, and third floors were all classrooms, and the head of the teaching department must have been on the fourth floor, so they must have met the head of the teaching department on the fourth floor.
From the underground library to the dance studio, then to the cafeteria, playground, and the dean's office, it spans almost half the school.
If it wasn't an illusion, then what was she encountering?
The little girl reached into the cloth bag and stroked the girl's glasses, which she had rolled up.
All of this must be closely related to the girl with glasses...
The classroom was filled with students engrossed in their studies. Zhang Bao hid in a corner, timidly changing his own bandage.
Cheng Shuang's gaze immediately fixed on Zhang Bao's hands.
"What are you looking at?" The class monitor tilted her head coquettishly, blocking her view.
"Was the gauze given to him by Song Zijiao?" Cheng Shuang asked.
"Yeah! I don't know where Song Zijiao got the gauze." The class monitor casually pulled her to a seat and sat down at Liao Yuewei's desk without any hesitation.
The girl's eyes darkened for a moment as she thought of Liao Yuewei and the pretentious fake.
She deliberately left the bespectacled girl with her to observe and find flaws, so she had some idea of what was going on, whether it was her shrinking or falling into one game after another. But she still didn't understand why she was able to break away from 'reality' and cross different floors in an instant. Maybe it was a special method of the ghosts?
The only way for a ghost trapped in the mirror to escape is to take the place of a human.
It's not possession by an ordinary ghost, but a complete replacement.
Just like the girl with glasses, when she examines it, it imitates her. The longer they spend together, the more closely it imitates her. When the time comes, it will completely replace her.
If it weren't for Liao Yuewei's appearance, Cheng Shuang wouldn't have been sure that the little girl felt something was off when she first saw her.
In the subsequent verification, the little girl became even more certain of her guess.
It's unclear whether there's competition between the mirror spirits. 'Liao Yuewei' is too self-assured and rejects the girl with glasses, while the girl with glasses harbors deep resentment towards 'her'. It should be noted that the one who is truly bad to the girl with glasses is Cheng Shuang, who uses her to clear mines, uses her as bait, and complains about her being in the way at all times.
Unless Liao Yuewei and the bespectacled girl have a dramatic outburst and deliberately stage a conflict for her.
But the little girl quickly ruled that out.
There's really no need for that.
Ghosts are emotionally unstable, and acting is really difficult for them. Instead, they seem to involuntarily reveal their true feelings, which makes them suspicious at every turn, making it impossible for the little girl to turn a blind eye.
The real Liao Yuewei is afraid of ghosts, so it's impossible for her to remain calm and composed upon discovering the presence of the girl with glasses, or even to confront her directly and repeatedly engage in verbal disputes (on the one hand, Liao Yuewei). If Liao Yuewei is concerned about her and therefore targets the girl with glasses, she calms down too quickly and almost instantly identifies Cheng Shuang as the real person.
They had only known each other for a few hours and were not very familiar with each other.
Cheng Shuang was skeptical and couldn't be sure of the other party's identity, just as the real Liao Yuewei shouldn't be without doubt.
When the little girl revealed her plan to deal with the pig-headed monster, 'Liao Yuewei' immediately cooperated by taking out food from the library and tying it to a rope without a moment's hesitation.
This reaction is unlike that of a seasoned professional.
She didn't spend much time at the library, and she herself said that she couldn't find anything in the dark. She also knew immediately that Cheng Shuang had been to the library, but she never asked what the rules were!
Later, the plan to deal with the pig-headed monster went very smoothly, and its weaknesses were all exposed, so there was no need to activate the backup plan. However, Liao Yuewei's five-star card was wasted.
Although her explanation was reasonable, Cheng Shuang still sensed something was off.
It's as if they're too eager to confirm their identity to others, so they're overdoing it.
Once she left the library, the girl was completely certain that the person in front of her was an imposter.
The pig-headed monster's fall was not only due to its own panic, but also because after the food appeared, Cheng Shuang, who was wearing the administrator's card, was controlled by an inexplicable force, and only the punishment she uttered could stop the pig-headed monster's flustered steps.
Clearly, 'Liao Yuewei,' who was also carrying food, was not subject to this rule. At least Cheng Shuang did not experience the feeling of power returning, so the library's rules could not determine whether 'Liao Yuewei' was human or ghost, and 'she' was able to leave the library unharmed.
'Liao Yuewei' doesn't mean everything can be explained by Liao Yuewei alone.
The reason you don't feel bad about the card is because you obtained it too easily, or perhaps the card will become unusable at some point.
After all, if the cards fell into the hands of the natives, it would disrupt the original social system, and the Gate of Reincarnation would definitely impose certain restrictions on the cards.
The maintainers won't stay at the Gate of Reincarnation for long; they'll either escape or die inside. Either way, it means Liao Yuewei's life is currently safe.
There's a chance she'll survive before the card can be used.
"What are you thinking about?" The class monitor's clear but displeased voice rang in my ears.
"I was wondering if I wouldn't be able to attend the welcome party," Cheng Shuang replied absentmindedly. Her chin was immediately lifted by a cool, gentle finger. Meeting the class monitor's handsome, sinister eyes, she tilted her head and grinned innocently.
The class monitor's gloomy expression instantly brightened, and he casually asked, "You want to participate?"
"No!" The little girl sniffed, stuffed the clothes from the cloth bag into the drawer, put the books on the table, and when she touched the bespectacled girl's curls, she considered whether or not to let them out.
The only clue to Liao Yuewei's whereabouts might be found through the girl with glasses.
Just then, Cheng Shuang noticed that the air was a bit quiet. She glanced around curiously and saw a familiar notebook lying open on the table, with the class monitor's slender hands turning the pages one by one.
The little girl's heart skipped a beat, but she calmed down in the next second, slammed the notebook shut, and pouted unhappily, saying, "Why are you going through other people's things!"
The class monitor, whose face had been ashen, slowly tilted his head, carefully observing the girl's completely different expression, and asked with great interest, "What are you afraid of? Is there some secret you can't tell anyone?"
