The Silent and Eerie School (Part 11)
"What...?" Now it was Jiang Xiaoning's turn to be stunned.
This game can be done like this?
Huang Chenchuan had only wanted to try it out, but unexpectedly, he stumbled upon the perfect opportunity. He gave Jiang Xiaoning a smug look and proudly shook his head.
Jiang Xia Ning rubbed her forehead, trying hard to control her expression so as not to look too disgusted. "Alright, stop smug. Let's see if we can get anything out of you."
Huang Chenchuan gave a gesture of acceptance, then leaned closer to the NPC and asked, "What file?"
"......"
Well, there's no response now.
Undeterred, Huang Chenchuan moved to the back of the line and approached another NPC. "Excuse me, what kind of files does the school have?"
The classmate, who had been hanging his head, slowly raised it. The moment Huang Chenchuan saw his eyes, his legs went weak with fright.
The NPC hadn't looked up at all, so Huang Chenchuan hadn't seen his face. Now that the NPC had looked up, Huang Chenchuan could finally see his face clearly.
His face was deathly pale, even whiter than the paint on the wall, and his lips were completely colorless. Yet his eyes were pure black, filling the entire eye sockets without revealing a trace of white; the only color in his eyes was the extremely black pupils.
At this moment, she was staring intently at Huang Chenchuan.
"vocal!"
The moment Huang Chenchuan realized what was happening, he immediately covered his eyes and hurriedly ran away in small, quick steps.
"Hahaha, you can speak English too?" Jiang Xiaoning added cheekily.
Huang Chenchuan felt his heart leap into his throat. Still shaken, he tried to explain, "You didn't see what they looked like! If you had, you'd probably have reacted even more strongly than I did!"
Li Su silently noted that some information could be obtained from NPCs.
Qi Zui rested his chin on one hand, tilting his head to look at Li Su: "Su Su, do you have any clues?"
Li Su nodded. "The files might be related to the missing students. After all, we players should be considered students of this school now. So many players have died because of the mission. We might need to find a chance to go to the school history museum tonight; the files might be archived there..."
Li Su's voice grew softer and softer because Qi Zui's expression towards him had become so intense that it was impossible to ignore.
The serious expression on Li Su's face slowly crumbled, her cheeks flushed a light pink, and she began to stammer, "W-what's wrong?"
Qi Zui smiled and shook his head, saying, "Su Su is really smart."
Being praised so directly, Li Su didn't know how to respond for a moment, so she lowered her eyes and stared at the patterns on the wooden table, her long eyelashes still trembling slightly.
So sweet, so sweet, his Susu is shy.
He was about to lose control.
The sound of leather shoes gradually became clearer. The NPC classmates in the class did not react at all, but the players all pricked up their ears.
Before the man even entered the room, his voice rang out: "Class begins."
The girl sitting in the first row stood up stiffly and mechanically uttered two words: "Stand up."
All the NPCs immediately stood up, and the players quickly followed suit.
Everyone greeted in unison, "Hello, teacher."
The male teacher finally appeared on the podium. "Hmm, sit down."
Li Su looked up and inexplicably felt that this teacher was somewhat familiar to him. Li Su carefully observed his appearance but couldn't feel that she had seen him somewhere before.
The male teacher noticed Li Su's reaction out of the corner of his eye, and a slight, almost imperceptible smile appeared on his lips. He walked over to Li Su's desk and asked, "Excuse me, is there something you need?"
Apart from the motionless NPC students, all the other players' eyes followed the male teacher and focused on him. Suddenly called out, Li Su quickly shook her head, "No, it's nothing."
The male teacher narrowed his long, narrow eyes and looked at Li Su. "Class has started, why doesn't this student have her book yet?"
Before Li Su could speak, he continued, "Come to my office after school."
Li Su's pupils dilated: "???"
After the male teacher finished speaking, he turned around and returned to the podium.
For some reason, Li Su felt that the male teacher seemed to be in a good mood.
"Hey, Su Su, what's going on? None of us have books, so why is the teacher only bothering you?" Huang Chenchuan craned his neck and whispered in Li Su's ear.
Li Su was also bewildered. Qi Zui was sitting outside him in the aisle seat, which should have been more conspicuous. Why did this male teacher specifically target him?
Was it just because he glanced at the teacher twice?
The male teacher on the podium narrowed his eyes unhappily, his gaze sweeping across the entire classroom before landing on Huang Chenchuan: "That male student."
Feeling guilty, Huang Chenchuan slowly withdrew his head, which had been stretched between Li Su and Qi, like a slow-motion scene in a movie, trying to pretend that nothing had happened.
The male teacher spoke in a steady voice, his hands resting on the podium: "The shorter boy in the last row."
Huang Chenchuan was absolutely furious.
He and his brother Qi were sitting in the last row. His brother Qi was more than half a head taller than him.
Huang Chenchuan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly stood up, a fawning smile on his lips: "Teacher, did you call me?"
The man on the podium remained expressionless, adjusted his frameless glasses, and slowly said, "Don't be joking around in class."
Huang Chenchuan awkwardly suppressed the ingratiating smile on his face and said sheepishly, "Yes..."
"Okay, let's continue the lesson..."
Huang Chenchuan: "???" Teacher, have you forgotten something? You haven't let me sit down yet? ???
Unfortunately, Huang Chenchuan didn't have the guts to proactively remind an NPC teacher in a horror game.
Qi Ye glanced at Huang Chenchuan indifferently, "Have you learned your lesson?"
Huang Chenchuan closed his eyes in despair, trying to control the angle of his nod so as not to attract too much attention. "I'm going to stop laughing in class now."
Qi also looked away.
If you still don't know what you did wrong, then just keep standing there.
Since she had no books anyway, Li Su decided to just observe the male teacher on the podium without any further hesitation.
The white shirt collar was buttoned all the way up, and there was a thin, silver tie clip near the top of the tie. He wore black suit trousers without a single wrinkle, and then a pair of black leather shoes that were polished to the shine.
Frameless glasses, a silver mechanical watch, a slicked-back hairstyle with not a single stray hair, and those outstanding features.
No matter how Li Su looked at it, she felt that this outfit was a bit too eye-catching on an NPC in a horror game, and even seemed like it was deliberately dressed up.
Sensing Li Su's gaze, the male teacher looked up, and their eyes met across the distance.
Li Su lowered her eyes without making a sound.
His feeling grew stronger. Was this male teacher really an NPC in the game? Why were his movements and expressions so natural, completely different from the stiffness of the female NPC teacher and the student NPC?
Thinking back to the school doctor who had treated him earlier, Li Su was puzzled. In a horror game, there are two seemingly completely different levels of NPCs. Does that mean these higher-level NPCs are the key to breaking the game?
Qi Zui looked at Li Su's bowed head, then narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice as he looked at the other man on the stage, "Does Su Su like it?"
"Huh?" Li Su looked up, puzzled, and met Qi Zui's gaze.
Qi leaned down and whispered in his ear, completely ignoring the male teacher on the podium who was still looking in their direction.
Huang Chenchuan, standing behind her, widened his eyes, looking at the male teacher on the podium who was staring intently at them, and then at Qi Zui, who was practically burying his head in Li Su's shoulder.
Although Huang Chenchuan didn't intend for his brother Qi to stand up and stand as punishment with him, but!
Why didn't they mention Brother Qi's name?
That's ridiculous, teacher. So he's the only unlucky one...?
"Don't stand so close to me, the teacher is watching." Li Su was afraid that Qi Zui would also be targeted by the man on the podium, so she tried to move closer to the window and try her best to increase the distance between herself and Qi Zui.
This explanation, combined with Li Su's actions, appeared entirely different in Qi Zui's eyes.
Qi obediently sat up straight, but her eyes were fixed on the man on the podium.
Ugh, I'm inexplicably annoyed.
"He's laughing so hard he's going to get rich! The veins on Qi Zui's hands are bulging, hahaha..."
"Jealous, buddy? Keep pretending, go ahead and pretend."
"Wait, why is Qi Ye reacting exactly the same way he did? Are the twins even having synchronized emotions?"
"I know my thoughts are strange, but to be honest, I feel like Qi Zui and Qi Ye are completely the same person..."
"What's up with this male teacher NPC? I've never seen him before, is he new?"
"I remember that in the 'Mysterious School' dungeon, players who died would only become NPC students. Logically, important roles like teachers shouldn't be replaced by dead players. What's going on now? Have the rules been changed?"
The bell rang, and before Huang Chenchuan could even sit down, he saw the male teacher walking straight toward him. His legs, which were about to bend down, immediately straightened.
The leather shoes eventually stopped a little in front of Huang Chenchuan's table.
His well-defined fingers bent slightly and tapped the table twice. "Come with me."
Huang Chenchuan wanted to comfort Li Su, but the male teacher was standing right in front of him, so he didn't dare to even breathe loudly.
Li Su stood up and walked sideways through the gap between Qi Zuihou's back and Huang Chenchuan's desk.
Li Su was very thin, but certain parts of her body appeared unusually fleshy. Qi Zui lowered his eyes, feeling the fullness brush against his back, and the bulging veins on the back of his hand became even more prominent.
Li Su followed the male teacher away. Huang Chenchuan, his legs aching, sat down and looked worriedly at Qi Ye sitting next to him: "Brother Qi, will Su Su be alright? Ugh, I didn't mean that, I..."
Jiang Xiaoning leaned over and said, "Alright, I know you're worried about him."
Wang Fan also walked to their table, his brow furrowed ever since he entered the game: "So what do we do now? Will Su Su be in any danger?"
