Horror Kindergarten (Revised)
Xia Yi took the photo. It was taken in the kindergarten playground, on a makeshift podium. The photo was of a woman in her forties with wrinkles on her forehead and white hair at her temples. She looked gentle and kind in the side view.
However, in the next photo, a frontal shot, the gentle and kind expression completely disappeared.
She pointed at the kindergarten children under the podium and was talking to the man in a suit next to her.
Where the man couldn't see, the expression on her face was an exaggerated one that was inconsistent with her appearance. Xia Yi even read a sense of mockery from the photo.
"This man?" Xia Yi asked.
"The man's name is Bai Zhe. He is Bai Zhu's father who disappeared at noon." Wang En said.
"I found these photos in a corner of the dance studio. Besides these two, there are seven more. They're all group photos with the kindergarten children's parents. We counted the side and back photos, and they showed almost all the parents and children. But there's something strange: starting with this side photo, Teacher Zhou's expression towards the children changed. He became very kind and loving... It's so strange."
No, not surprising at all.
Xia Yi put several photos together and compared them. The scenes were all on the podium, but the leaves in the background of the photos had turned from green to yellow. The withered leaves seemed to nourish Teacher Zhou's mood, making her happy.
"We were suddenly targeted by the ghosts because we found this information." Bai Sisi said regretfully, "There was also some text content at the time, but we didn't get to see it. What a pity."
"Don't mention that information. If Ning Xi hadn't been so anxious to get it, she wouldn't have been haunted by the ghost in the mirror." Ye Baixin curled his lips and said gloomily, "Why are you all glaring at me? If I don't mention it, Ning Xi's death is not true."
"No one said Ning Xi is not dead. Shut up and discuss more useful information, otherwise our fate will be the same as Ning Xi's." Wang En's calm expression faded, and he couldn't help but said angrily.
"That's right. No one will think you're dumb if you don't say it." Bai Sisi was not calm either. Who could calm down so quickly after seeing a bloody death? Bai Sisi paused and looked at Xia Yi's calm face. After Xia Yi looked away, she also looked away quickly, as if Xia Yi's mood was not up and down.
Xia Yi ignored Bai Sisi and said, "You saw the performance just now. The children in kindergarten all died like this: they grew beards and hair, were deprived of their voices, and finally turned into monsters. The monsters' souls took over their bodies, and they existed as ghosts in the kindergarten."
"Monsters and ghosts are two hostile creatures with very different personalities."
"It must have been during this photo that the children's bodies were taken over by monsters. This photo includes almost all the children, except Gao Minmin." Xia Yi pointed at the happy expression on Teacher Zhou's face in the photo and easily found the contradiction between the monsters and the ghosts. "The parents of those children's ghosts are probably the original ones. The ghosts are targeting the Thanksgiving meeting and don't want their parents to love their enemies who killed them. This is normal."
"But, Gao Minmin's ghost also appeared. This is not right!" Bai Sisi asked. Xia Yi nodded. This was indeed not right. There was still missing information.
"This has nothing to do with our mission, right?" Ye Baixin scratched his arm irritably.
"It should be related." Xia Yi said carefully, glanced at Ye Baixin a few times, and turned his gaze away. He heard that boys will grow beards when they are scared. Ye Baixin is not as calm as he appears.
"Wang En, Xia Yi, Bai Sisi, Ye Baixin..." Teacher Lin's voice came through the loudspeaker of the kindergarten outside, penetrating through the black fog, as if she knew that Ning Xi had passed away. The black fog entangled in the woods also thinned a lot, and the kindergarten buildings could be vaguely seen.
Teacher Lin's voice quieted down several people.
As he spoke, the black fog had completely dissipated.
"Teacher, I found the new students. Several of them have entered the grove."
"Who has anything to do with them going into the woods?" Ye Baixin's expression changed and he spat in disgust.
Bai Sisi and Wang En said in unison: "You." Xia Yi nodded in agreement.
That's right, you and we are in a relationship of entering the woods.
Teacher Lin and Teacher Yuan ran over side by side, with rare anxiety on their faces, but still with a faint smile on their faces.
Teacher Lin squatted down first and hugged Wang En. Of course, Wang En didn't dare to let Teacher Lin hug him: "Teacher, I feel uncomfortable when you hug me."
"Did the teacher tell us the scope of free activities? You kids are so brave that you ran into the woods to play without saying a word? Do you know what's in the woods?" Teacher Lin criticized harshly.
"There's a huge monster in the woods. A kid went into the woods and almost died there. You know..."
Teacher Yuan turned to Teacher Lin and whispered, "There's no time. Take Yiyi and the others to take a bath. I'll go tell stories to the children."
Xia Yi looked at Teacher Yuan's lip movements and roughly understood the meaning.
Teacher Lin nodded and said quickly, "Alright, next time don't go over there and play without permission. The goodnight bell has rung, and the kids all need to go back to the dorms for bed. Xiaoxian, you and Teacher Yuan should go back to bed. I'll take the new student to the small bathhouse to wash up."
Xia Yi nodded and followed Teacher Lin quickly to the small bathhouse. The small bathhouse was inside the teacher's office. It was decorated more like the bathroom in a high-end apartment, with soft heating, warm yellow lights, dry and wet separated bathrooms, and three large enough shower positions separated by frosted glass in the east and west directions.
But there is still no mirror.
"Here are your pajamas. I asked your mothers and sorted them out from the suitcase," Teacher Lin said quickly. "Come, take off your clothes first. I'll help you adjust the water temperature."
Xia Yi watched Teacher Lin tidying up her clothes, toothbrush and quilt, and suddenly realized something was wrong, so he looked at Wang En.
In order to save time, Teacher Lin actually plans to have mixed bathing for men and women?
An awkward atmosphere permeated the bathroom.
Xia Yi was even more embarrassed than them. Among the four people, only her body was her real body, and the game didn't use mosaics like the live broadcast.
"Teacher, I am a girl and I cannot take off my clothes in front of boys. I...I don't want to take a shower with boys, wow." When Xia Yi was preparing to speak, Bai Sisi's tears had already fallen. She cried and pulled Wang En hard.
"Yeah, I don't want to take a bath with girls either." Wang En said seriously.
Teacher Lin nonchalantly retorted, "It's okay. Boys and girls are all human. There's nothing different about them. The biggest difference is just their body structure. You're still young, so there won't be any problems washing together. I've taught so many kindergarten classes and I know all about this. There's no need to be shy. There's nothing to be shy about when it comes to cleaning your body. It's even faster this way!"
"Teacher, my mom taught me how to take a bath. Wouldn't it be faster to wash in two batches?"
Xia Yi was sure that Teacher Lin would not refuse, so he took the bag of pajamas and without waiting for Teacher Lin's response, he picked up Bai Sisi and rushed into the second small compartment.
Bai Sisi held her breath. What if Teacher Lin got angry and held a grudge against them? How could Xia Yi dare?
Xia Yi turned on the sprinkler, and the sound of running water blurred Teacher Lin's voice.
"I won't be angry." She was helping Teacher Lin, and besides, one of their people had just died.
After Bai Sisi finished washing, Xia Yi let her out, pulled the curtain, and put on clean pajamas.
She rolled up her sleeves and trouser legs, rinsed her thighs and arms with warm water, and when she was putting the dirty clothes into the bag after washing, she suddenly saw a black furry ball in the corner. The little thing had its back to her, and was breathing up and down.
Xia Yi took the clothes hanger next to him and poked it.
The little thing shuddered and stood up with its ears drooping.
Only then did Xia Yi see the species of the little thing in front of him. It was a pure black kitten with a small notch on its ear. Its eyes were large and round, a very clear blue. The kitten had an accusing look on its face and kept backing away: "Meow."
Xia Yi was delighted. He squatted down, grabbed the kitten by the scruff of its neck, and lifted the little guy up.
The cat's paws were unexpectedly pink and tender, trembling and curling up.
Xia Yi looked at the cat and blinked one eye. It looked so pitiful that it made her feel so sorry for it. She couldn't help but stretch out her claws and stroke it from head to toe. The warm and soft touch was fascinating. At the end, she spread open the cat's two hind legs and touched them, saying, "It turned out to be a little male cat!"
"Meow!" A sharp cat cry sounded, and the kitten's fur stood up.
"You touched me?!" A sweet male voice suddenly rang out, carrying with it a resentment that sounded like he needed to redo two hundred math tests. "You actually touched me!!" After a long pause, his voice began to sob. "I was the first one in, and I finally closed my eyes to avoid you guys and shower, but I'm still not clean!!"
Xia Yi said awkwardly: "...How about taking a bath?"
The little black cat slithered away from Xia Yi's hand, and the decoration on its tail hit Xia Yi's arm. It was a small bell ring with an emerald green ring and a gold border. The code 006 was engraved on the emerald green ring.
The gem looked familiar.
Xia Yi looked down at the gaming bracelet on her wrist and pressed a button to make the bracelet appear. On the same emerald green gem was the code 005, indicating that she was the fifth player to enter the game.
Xia Yi: Fuck!
