Mystery: Who has seen my brother?

Chapter 14 Teacher Elizabeth
worn out!
Eve glanced at the paper in her left hand, shook her sore hands, and looked hopeless.

She had copied all those pages word for word! To prevent mistakes, she had also copied all the revisions exactly as they were.

but……

Eve flipped her hand, revealing a blank white paper underneath.

Mr. Pete is such a good man. Now we have the paper to make a missing person notice.

They were one step closer to finding Mingrui. When Eve thought of this, she couldn't help but feel happy, and even her hands didn't seem so sore anymore.

"knock knock"

Eve knocked three times on the wooden door, but no one responded for a long time.

"knock knock"

Still no response.

"Miss Elizabeth," Eve called out to the door, but received no response, "Isn't she here?" The girl glanced at the sun that was about to set. Curfew was about to begin. Where would Miss Elizabeth go?
Eve turned her gaze towards the city, searching the streets for the shy and introverted girl. At this hour, many people had already gone home, and there were only a few people scattered on the streets. She easily found Elizabeth, who was holding a pile of books.

The thick stack of books almost blocked Elizabeth's eyes, and her small figure was a little shaky when she walked.

Eve used the glass window as a mirror and used the mirror to jump behind Elizabeth.

"Why are there so many books?" Eve reached out to help Elizabeth share some of the books. This time, Elizabeth didn't refuse and thanked her before sharing some of the books in her hand. It seemed that these books were quite a burden for the girl.

"These are the students' homework." Elizabeth wiped the sweat off her face with a free hand and said breathlessly, "I wanted to finish correcting them in class, but there were too many, so I had to take the rest home to correct."

"Student? Miss Elizabeth is a teacher?" Eve asked, looking at the heavy books in her hands. "You have to correct so much homework by yourself, and finish it today? Don't you have so few teachers in your school?"

Elizabeth said softly, tilting her head.

"Let me help you." Eve said with a smile. She had been forced to work by the teacher before, so she had some experience in correcting homework. Although she was illiterate now, she could still correct the homework according to the answers.

"Oh?" Elizabeth whispered, "This is too much trouble for you."

"No trouble, no trouble, just consider it as learning to read. Besides, I also have something to trouble Miss Eve."

"Well...thank you. I'm sorry to trouble you again."

"We can't get back before curfew at our current speed," Eve said to Elizabeth, lowering her head. "I want to use the mirror to travel back, but it might cause some discomfort to Miss Elizabeth. If Miss Elizabeth feels uncomfortable, please tell me."

"Is it an extraordinary ability?" Elizabeth murmured to herself, then nodded quickly, her eyes filled with strong anticipation.

The next second, Elizabeth felt her eyes go dark, and then she saw her room. The scene inside the room was clear at a glance, and everything was neatly arranged, but she and Miss Eve were not there.

They are in the window.

so amazing.

There was a muffled "bang" sound. Eve put the book on the table. They had already come out of the window.

Elizabeth quickly poured Eve a glass of water, and the girl picked up the cup and began to drink it in big gulps.

Elizabeth took out her handkerchief to wipe Eve's sweat, but she found the girl's forehead was clean, without any beads of sweat. She paused for a moment and then silently put it away. "Miss Elizabeth, are you feeling unwell?" Eve asked with concern, putting down her water glass.

"No," Elizabeth shook her head, lowered her head with sparkling eyes, and said in her heart: "I even... want to experience it again."

She pulled out a book from the pile. It was thicker than the others and should be a teacher's edition.

"Let me teach Miss Eve how to read first, based on what the students are learning today." Elizabeth spread out the book and said. Eve nodded. The two girls sat side by side, one girl talking and the other girl listening, in a harmonious and beautiful scene.

...

……

.........

"Miss Eve..." Elizabeth muttered to herself in disbelief, "You learn so quickly."

The girl stared out the window in a daze. The sun had already set. When the last sunset glow disappeared, the curfew began.

It only took such a short time to finish the day's course.

Is this the Beyonder?

"Okay," Eve stretched, turned to look at Elizabeth and said, "Let's start correcting the homework." Elizabeth looked dazed, and Eve gently pushed her shoulder to bring her back to her senses.

"I'm so sorry," Eve said, watching Elizabeth come back to her senses and pinch the corner of her clothes in a bewildered manner. She seemed to be very bothered by her distraction. She apologized again and then asked carefully in a low voice, "What did you say just now? I'm sorry, I didn't hear you."

Another apology. Eve frowned, not knowing if she was overthinking it. She always felt that Elizabeth was apologizing all the time.

"This isn't Miss Elizabeth's fault, there's no need to apologize." Eve said seriously, "Shall we start correcting the homework now?"

Elizabeth nodded, took out two pens from her pocket and gave one to Eve.

"Just circle the typos. No typos is 5 points, three or fewer is 4 points, three to five is 3 points, five to ten is 2 points, and ten or more is 1 point." Elizabeth explained seriously. Suddenly, she paused, as if she had thought of something, and asked, "Miss Eve, can you count?"

Eve nodded helplessly. After all, she had received higher education. How could she have fallen to this point?

"Put them here according to the scores," Elizabeth said, running her fingers across the table. "Put them here from 1 to 5."

Eve nodded, uncapped her pen, and began to correct the homework.

Time ticked by minute by minute. Without a clock, Eve had no idea how much time had passed. Elizabeth had long ago given up and fallen asleep on the table. Eve often stayed up late, and with her Beyonder's extraordinary physical fitness, she finished her share while she could still hold on.

Eve carefully picked up Elizabeth and gently placed her on the bed, covering her with the quilt.

Even if teachers are scarce, the workload is too heavy. Will Elizabeth be bullied?

The experiences of the past few days have left Eve with a very good impression of this city-state. Everyone is kind and simple, but there are also bad people. After all, there are all kinds of birds in the forest.

I'll go to the academy tomorrow and ask them how to join the academy. I can send Ouroboros to school. With his path and sequence, Eve doesn't have to worry about being bullied.

Eve silently said good night to Elizabeth in her heart, and then her figure disappeared from the room.
