This Actor Is Full Of Tricks

"Let's go in."

Director Zheng had completely changed her icy demeanor, her face now filled with nervousness.

She seemed very afraid of the principal.

Before, she had been shouting about reporting Lin Jue to the principal's office, but when the door actually opened, she told Lin Jue to go in first.

Lin Jue adjusted his backpack strap, stepped forward, and walked into the darkness of the room.

Director Zheng followed him in and closed the door.

She took out a box of matches from who knows where, struck a few, and lit a human-faced candle.

The dim yellow light gradually filled the entire room.

Only then did Lin Jue clearly see the principal's office.

The first thing that caught his attention was a bronze statue not far in front of him.

The bronze statue was half a person tall, with a blue face and red hair, half-open eyes, and fangs.

Its image was somewhat like the Yaksha in legends.

Its arms were spread out to both sides, one hand holding a sealed bucket, and the other holding a bronze bell.

This was a ghastly artifact; presumably, the school's bell sound came from this artifact.

"What is that bucket for? Could it be used to hold fiendish blood?"

Lin Jue shifted his gaze, and the second thing he noticed was the walls.

The surrounding walls were covered with clumps of brown flesh, like spiderwebs.

These flesh tissues were still pulsating, dripping mucus, and extending into flesh pipes, all converging towards a figure in the center of the room.

The figure was around thirty years old.

His temperament was completely different from the other teachers and students in the school.

There was no killing intent, no resentment, but instead a calm and gentle expression, like a refined scholar.

If one ignored the flesh tissues extending from his body.

And most strikingly, this principal was wearing a hospital gown.

Blue and white stripes alternated, and there was a line of words on the chest, presumably the name of the hospital, but the candlelight was too dim to see clearly.

"This principal… is a patient?"

Lin Jue looked at the surrounding flesh tissues, a sense of gravity growing in his heart.

The feeling this principal gave him was very similar to He Ping, as if ghastly organs had been transplanted onto a human body.

Coupled with the hospital gown, he couldn't help but think of that mental hospital.

Could this principal be a patient from that mental hospital?

"You two, come over here."

The principal pointed in front of him, like a large spider lying on a web of flesh, waiting for food to fall into the net.

Director Zheng timidly didn't dare to move, while Lin Jue strode over, his eyes fixed on the line of words on the principal's clothes.

As the distance closed, he finally saw the line of words clearly.

[Sanjiang Yongning Mental Rehabilitation Hospital]

It really was a patient from that hospital!

He had thought that this principal would be a ghoul, but he didn't expect him to be a living person like He Ping, only sewn with ghastly organs.

A living person from a mental hospital became the principal of a ghastly school.

Who exactly was the previous principal who handed the school over to him?

There were many possibilities.

Perhaps it was someone from the New World; after all, Chen Fu had said that patients had joined the New World.

It could also be other escaped patients, or it might have nothing to do with it at all, simply valuing the principal's ability before passing on the position…

There was another possibility.

The former principal was the director of the mental hospital!

Experimenting with humans… and ghouls…

There are still living people in this school!

Moreover, the former principal established rules to reduce casualties among the living!

Then, is it possible that the ghoul that this breeding ground wants to cultivate is not just a ghoul, but also another sample, that sample being the living?

The living people who can last to the end in this school must be the most determined and intelligent, and these people should be most suitable for that director to use for experiments.

Using the smartest people and the most powerful ghouls for experiments will surely create the best works of art!

In an instant, many pieces of information flashed through Lin Jue's mind.

Everything made sense at this moment, and the identity of the former principal surfaced.

"So, the director of the mental hospital is the former principal, he is the chess player on the school's side."

"Then, who is playing against him…"

"Could it be the predecessor!?"

Lin Jue's pupils shrank, reflexively thinking of the predecessor, because the predecessor's information was bound to that director, all the information of both sides intertwined.

However, this guess cannot be confirmed.

A discordant voice interrupted his thoughts: "What are you thinking about?"

Director Zheng was squinting at him.

The latest novel is first published on 69shuba.com!

"I'm just impressed to see the principal for the first time.

The principal's temperament is obviously that of a highly educated person, worthy of being the great leader who manages the entire school."

Lin Jue suppressed the thoughts in his heart and began to spout nonsense.

Some questions need to be answered by this principal.

"Speak, what is it?"

The principal glanced at Lin Jue, his pupils flickering with inexplicably complex emotions.

Director Zheng took a step forward and told all the things that had happened before: "Principal, I don't think our school should have psychology courses.

I suggest expelling this guy."

"This was 'that person's' decision, how dare you question it?"

The principal's tone became colder: "'That person' passed on information, naturally having their own purpose in having us find a psychology teacher.

What are you that you deserve to point fingers here?"

That person?

It should be the director of that mental hospital, but the other party is still passing information to this school.

Could it be that that guy is actually still here?

Lin Jue stood silently to the side, listening.

This possibility was almost non-existent; otherwise, the script's rating would definitely not be three stars.

Hearing the principal's words, Director Zheng's body immediately trembled, and she lowered her head tremblingly: "I wouldn't dare, I was just too angry just now.

After all, 'that person' made it so the school could barely operate normally, but so many students died at once.

Now, not even that many die in a round of the game…"

"Shut up!"

Before she could finish speaking, the principal interrupted her directly, then his gaze turned to Lin Jue: "Although your actions have not violated school rules, your murderous intent is too strong.

From today onwards, your salary will be halved, and you are not allowed to kill wantonly anymore.

If there is a next time, I will directly expel you from the school."

Salary halved?

Lin Jue glanced at the empty bucket in the bronze sculpture's hand.

This "punishment" was neither here nor there for him; anyway, he wouldn't last a month.

This fiendish blood thing, after the script is completed, he can switch to human form and openly rob it.

But if he was expelled from the school, the script might collapse, so Lin Jue could only nod and agree: "Alright, Principal, I'll listen to you."

What the principal said was that he couldn't kill wantonly, so secretly killing one or two shouldn't be a problem.

"Go back."

The principal waved his hand at Lin Jue, signaling him to leave, but he didn't tell Director Zheng to leave.

It seemed that these two guys had something to say in secret.

Lin Jue glanced at Director Zheng and slowly left the principal's office, consciously closing the door tightly, leaving them space to talk.

He called out Grandpa and asked him to deliberately make loud footsteps towards the end of the corridor, while he himself slipped into the classroom next to the principal's office, lying on the wall and eavesdropping.
