Chapter 21: Rose Bride (21) Terrible

teacher's office.

It is almost the same as in reality. The teachers are either doing their own work with their heads down, or chatting with each other, or there are one or several students standing in front of them, admonishing and teaching them.

It seemed normal, but Yan Jinyue still caught their vague glances towards her, which were just as damp and dark, like the prying eyes of a poisonous snake.

"Tell me, what's your question?" The Chinese teacher's voice was still rough and unpleasant, and my eardrums sounded like they were cut by a worn-out patch.

Yan Jinyue suppressed her discomfort, still smiling obediently, and handed her the exercise book in her hand, "It's right here..."

The Chinese teacher looked at Yan Jinyue from time to time while explaining the questions, and her cloudy eyes seemed to be suppressing something. Although she was a ghost, she actually explained the questions very well, with concise and clear words, which lived up to the reputation of "Jinglan High School".

After finishing, Yan Jinyue thanked him and walked out with the exercise book. Her well-behaved smile disappeared completely the moment she walked out the door.

These teachers and students don't have much problem getting along with each other, which proves that these ghosts are indeed... teachers. To be precise, they were teachers before they became ghosts.

If, Shen Wu became a ghost because of that "sacrifice".

What about these teachers?
Yan Jinyue was walking back to the classroom thoughtfully when a girl came towards her and caught her attention.

She was wearing a youthful blue and white school uniform and walking towards the office with a stack of exercise books in her arms. Her high ponytail swayed with her steps and a confident smile was on her face.

The girl looked familiar, but Yan Jinyue didn't remember who she was for a while. It wasn't until after class when she passed by the first floor lobby of the teaching building and saw the "Excellent Students' Style Display Board" that she suddenly realized -

She is the one next to Yang Lili's photo.

Yan Jinyue suddenly had an idea. Now she didn't need to use herself as bait. Aren't the ones on the display board ready-made? Wouldn't it be faster to investigate them directly than for her to pretend to be a good student?
She contacted Qi Yunxiao, and he also thought this method was better and more efficient.

There were a total of ten people in the display column. Excluding Yang Lili, there were nine left. After discussion, the two decided to investigate separately.

Yan Jinyue mainly used her social skills to make friends with some of her classmates, while Qi Yunxiao was mainly responsible for finding their files.

Perhaps because the recent sacrifices were not completely certain, their files were not organized and marked with asterisks, but were scattered.

When Yan Jinyue investigated, she found that, except for Yang Lili, five of the other nine people had "transferred schools", and their classmates' evaluations of them were consistent with Yang Lili's: good grades, good personality, and deeply favored by teachers.

There are only four students left.

"The next sacrifice should be among them." Yan Jinyue said to Qi Yunxiao in the corridor, "Let's focus on monitoring them, maybe we can find out the truth."

Qi Yunxiao nodded, "We happen to have four players. It will be safer if each of us keeps an eye on one player."

Yan Jinyue did not reject his proposal. Although both Zhao Jianing and Luo Yaoyao were not very reliable, she was unable to handle both tasks on her own.

Fortunately, they both felt that monitoring students was not too difficult or dangerous, and with Qi Yunxiao's intervention, they both agreed.

Yan Jinyue was responsible for monitoring a girl from the class next to hers, the one she had glanced at briefly in the corridor, named Hu Qingyu.

She has a nice personality and is popular. After class, there is always a group of young ladies around her, chattering away, but she just sits quietly reading a book, chatting with them from time to time.

With her outstanding looks, Yan Jinyue quickly captured the heart of a young lady who liked beautiful women. Through her, she also met Hu Qingyu.

Girls' friendship is strange, it comes very quickly. With Yan Jinyue's deliberate efforts, in just two days, the two of them had already reached the point where they ate together and went back to the dormitory together. "Jinyue, you are really beautiful." Hu Qingyu stared at the girl's beautiful face in front of him and couldn't help but admire her.

Being praised so sincerely by a girl, Yan Jinyue felt a little embarrassed and quickly said, "You are also very beautiful."

"But not as pretty as you, Jinyue. Really, you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen." Hu Qingyu said seriously.

Now in the cafeteria, she looked around to make sure no one noticed before continuing, "Are there a lot of boys chasing you? Tell me about it."

She opened her eyes wide, full of anticipation and curiosity.

Yan Jinyue didn't expect her to ask this question. She coughed twice, shook her head and said, "No, there's none here."

She was telling the truth. Although she had many suitors in the real world, she was busy dealing with ghosts and completing tasks in the dungeon every day. She came and went in a hurry, so there were not many boys chasing after her.

Moreover, she has a ghost boyfriend, I forgot, not one, but two.

Ever since she knew there were two Shen Wuhou, Yan Jinyue didn't know how to face them. She didn't go back to the apartment to sleep, and she didn't meet them. Now that she suddenly thought of them, her longing spread like a tide.

Moreover, the gap between being alone on a one-meter-wide bed in the dormitory and hugging a handsome boyfriend with a thin waist and long legs on a big bed in the apartment must be too big!

"What's wrong?" Hu Qingyu noticed that Yan Jinyue looked a little depressed, and asked with concern.

Yan Jinyue blurted out: "I miss my boyfriend."

Hu Qingyu's eyes widened immediately, "Boyfriend?"

Her reaction was so big that it attracted some attention. She immediately covered her mouth and lowered her voice: "Do you have a boyfriend? Is he from our school?"

Yan Jinyue realized that she had let the cat out of the bag and blinked awkwardly, "I guess so." A student twenty years ago, a ghost now.

Hu Qingyu was even more surprised. "Then you must keep it a secret. If the teacher finds out, you and your boyfriend will be in trouble."

"It's not in the student handbook that we can't date," Yan Jinyue said. "Besides, we're both adults, so it's not considered premature love."

Hu Qingyu thought about it and it was true. He touched his chin and thought for a while before saying, "Anyway, you guys pay attention... the teacher... the teacher is pretty scary."

"Scary?" Yan Jinyue caught the flash of fear between her eyebrows and immediately stood up, "Qingyu, you have such good grades and the teacher likes you, do you also think the teacher is scary?"

"I..." Hu Qingyu bit her lip, "No, actually..."

"Actually what?" Yan Jinyue slowed down her voice, her tone bewitching.

Hu Qingyu's eyes flashed with hesitation, and finally she gritted her teeth and told him everything: "You don't know, in fact, the teachers are not good to us. The things they gave us... all have... a price."

"What's the price?" Yan Jinyue's eyes froze.

Hu Qingyu stretched out his hand and rolled up his sleeves, revealing an arm covered with cuts, one after another, which was shocking to see.

"Almost every month, they cut our wrists and let our blood flow."
