This was the first time Cheng Shuang had used the power of the Zangzang Monster.
She stepped over the two men who had fainted on the ground, coldly watching the fear on their faces and the tears of regret on their cheeks. Before leaving, she closed the bathroom door.
Bullying the weak does not mean they are strong; on the contrary, it means they are incompetent.
The little girl isn't like them; she can't commit violence. But she can make them truly experience the despair that Ferro and the other children went through.
He will repay in this despair all the pain that Faith inflicted on them.
Cheng Shuang locked the bathroom door, picked up the rag doll, went back to the second bedroom, pulled out a blanket, and wrapped herself in it.
Then I went to the study to start looking for clues.
While the "Mourning Monster" can acquire a living being's happiness and cause it to experience various negative emotions, this skill is limited to ten minutes.
Cheng Shuang didn't know why, but she always had the feeling that someone was secretly helping her.
It seems that the more unlucky Faith and his friends are, the happier the people in the shadows are.
At the same time, Cheng Shuang also realized something.
These two vicious and hypocritical adults are real human beings.
Like bandits who break into a school, they are humans who return to the world in the form of 'memories'.
They are the inner demons of the dead.
The maintainers may be able to intervene in certain details, but no one can prevent the inevitable death.
Cheng Shuang found some documents in the study.
Fei Sishi's father was the bandit leader who broke into the school back then, a man with an honest face but cruel methods.
The so-called ancestral property was nothing more than something forcibly seized.
This forest was originally Principal Su Qing's ancestral property.
Su Qing returned to China to take over the family business, unaware that a group of bandits were hiding in the abandoned mountains.
In the first few years after the girls' school was established, it gained some fame in society thanks to Su Qing's efforts, and many newspapers rushed to report on it.
But with war raging and many cities in turmoil, the relative importance of the nation and the small, non-profit school was obvious. The girls' school lost its former glory, and the once-popular girls' school gradually faded from most people's memories, while Fei Sishi's father remained hidden, waiting for his chance.
His initial target was these helpless and lonely female students.
The Fei family has connections and can easily sell their helpless students abroad. In this world, the closure of a declining school won't attract much attention; people will just think that Su Qing is exaggerating and doesn't know how to run a business.
The opportunity soon presented itself when a female student appeared, revealing to him that the principal possessed a considerable 'wealth'.
The greedy devil used this as leverage, hoping that the principal would take the initiative to 'cooperate' so that the school would not have to disappear, and he would still have a continuous supply of 'goods'.
But the principal was stubborn and refused to reveal even the secret of the treasure.
Unable to achieve his long-held greedy dream, the man, in a fit of rage, decided to go all out: without schools and teachers, let's see what other options they have.
But he and his men encountered teachers and students who resisted fiercely, so their plan failed again.
To conceal the evil he had committed, Fei Sishi's father had the mentally unstable principal sign the land sale contract, took the principal's box of jewelry and money, and fled the war to live a life of luxury abroad.
Now that Faith has returned, it has brought a new wave of misfortune.
Cheng Shuang put down the documents with a heavy heart, picked up the rag doll and looked at it. She sighed. There was no time to sew up the hole that was leaking cotton, so she would just stick it on!
The little girl took out a waterproof bandage, applied it to the wound on the doll's back, went outside, glanced at the closed bathroom door, ran out of the room, pressed the elevator button, and stepped inside.
The chandelier on the elevator ceiling flickered, and Cheng Shuang was already mentally prepared. Sure enough, the elevator doors opened the next moment, revealing a large, empty, and dilapidated open space with a slightly outdated decor and silver-gray wallpaper covering the entire space.
She stepped out and saw three people standing or sitting in the large room: Liu Jueshan and Fangfang, siblings, and Liao Yuewei.
The little girl untied the blanket and looked inside. Her clothes had been changed back to her original T-shirt and trousers, and she was no longer running around in Ferro's body.
Liao Yuewei was delighted to see her and got up to greet her. Liu Jueshan and his sister were somewhat surprised. Fangfang praised, "You're quite clever, kid. You figured out the reason so quickly and escaped!"
She gave them both a polite, sweet smile.
Liao Yuewei took her hand and led her to sit down next to the brother and sister, exchanging information discreetly, "Yes! My sister is very smart! Those two scoundrels will naturally not be able to stump her."
Cheng Shuang lowered her eyes.
It turns out that Liao Yuewei had also met Fei Sishi. It's very likely that the other protectors were replacing other children. If they couldn't escape, they would end up dying.
The little girl's eyes were full of sincerity. "I still need to learn more from my older brothers and sisters!" She scratched her cheek and said shyly, "Actually, I don't really understand how I escaped."
She had some guesses about the reasons, but she wasn't sure.
Liao Yuewei patted her head without saying anything.
Fangfang chuckled, a sly glint in her eyes. "How else could I escape? Once I teach those two bastards a lesson, the kids will naturally let me through."
She took out two identical rag dolls from her storage compartment. One of them was missing a button and an eyeball. "Look, this is the key. Only by finding and grabbing it can I pass their first test." She placed the rag dolls into Cheng's hands.
The three rag dolls are exactly the same in terms of material and pattern, and even their condition is similar. The only difference is the damaged parts.
As she had guessed, the little girl pursed her lips, unsure whether to sigh. She didn't want to offer empty sympathy or judgment about the children's plight, yet she felt immense pity for them.
They were like ghosts, filled with resentment, repeating the torment of suffering day after day, powerless to escape. Perhaps only the resistance of their protectors could bring them a moment of joy and a renewed sense of hope.
Picking up the doll, Cheng Shuang took out a pen and wrote Ferro's name on it.
“Write down my name too, mine is Fei An.” Fangfang clapped her hands excitedly.
Liu Jueshan: "Fei Lin".
"Oh! Then you can have mine too!" Liao Yuewei handed the doll to Cheng Shuang. "Fei Xiaohua."
The little girl paused while writing. Fei Xiaohua's doll was the most intact, with only a brown stain on its belly. The maintainers were used to it and could quickly distinguish bloodstains.
After writing her name, she looked up, bewildered, and asked, "Even though I escaped, I still don't have any clues about leaving the Gate of Reincarnation!"
"Haha!" Fangfang burst into a big laugh, and even the expressionless Liu Jueshan's lips curled into a smile. The two of them laughed for a few moments before stopping, exchanging a glance, and then both looking at Liao Yuewei.
Since they've been so open and honest, Liao Yuewei felt she had to show some sincerity; "I can't say I have absolutely no clues."
