You are my wife, don't doubt it!

"...Hey, this kid, was his brain damaged by Xiao Yao? What's the matter with this shared state between the two of you?"

Under the faint moonlight, the whole school was plunged into darkness.

As far as the eye can see, even the street lights outside the school gate are off, only...

The warm orange light coming through the stained glass of the church across the street.

Xiao Yao was not ready to let the fourth person know about the symbiosis, so he laughed and said, "I don't know what's going on... In this mirror world, everything is bizarre and does not follow common sense."

"Is it because in the subconscious of the owner of this hall, you and Yu Luying are a couple, so this is the case?" Shen Jie guessed.

"Who knows, it's possible." Xiao Yao said.

Yu Luying turned her head and glanced at Xiao Yao: "I...seem...to remember..."

"We have to find the White Knight quickly." Shen Jie looked around and said, "We can't stay in the shadows for too long."

"No, we have to get her out first - and you too, get both of you out." Xiao Yao insisted.

Shen Jie was about to argue, but suddenly she started yelling, "Map!"

Xiao Yao and Shen Jie looked towards the door of the "Parent-Child Education Center" together.

"Map?" Yu Luying spat out these two words in confusion.

"It's over!"

Three shoeless teenagers - two completely barefoot and one wearing only socks - were running around like headless flies in the school corridor.

Just like when Xiao Yao, Xiao Xiong, Yu Luying and others first came to the "school", the school was locked everywhere at night and impassable.

"Did you hear the sound?" Xiao Yao suddenly stopped.

Shen Jie nodded.

This was the same sound I heard in the corridor of Qiangui KTV during my second date with Shen Jie.

Xiao Yao remembered it very clearly. He was tracking the "Zhou Qi" who appeared by chance. It was his first time entering this mirror world.

Just like that day, he felt countless eyes staring at him and could vaguely hear malicious whispers.

However, this time he wasn't the only one who heard it.

Soon, the unknown horror materialized into reality—if this world could be called “reality.” The chaotic whispers gradually became louder and turned into a terrifying roar.

Then, ownerless "shadows" came from the corners of the walls, railings, ceilings, windowsills, and from every corner, gathering towards the three people from all directions like leaking water.

This scene reminded Xiao Yao of some scenes in the cartoon "Spirited Away".

Before Xiao Yao could react, a huge fireball fell to the ground accompanied by Shen Jie's roar.

Wherever the fireball landed, the "shadow" also scattered.

But when the flames died down, they reassembled unharmed.

Shen Jie condensed the flame again, and the small flame in her hand flashed and then went out.

"Your Majesty Mary, please respond to my call again..."

"It's over, you're finally out of mana." Xiao Yao said.

"Run," Yu Luying said simply, "Follow that light!"

"Where to run? There are enemies everywhere!" Shen Jie shouted anxiously while assuming the starting stance of karate.

"Church!" said Yu Luying.

"What's the point of going to church?" Shen Jie shouted, "It's not that I don't believe you...but in your current state, it's really hard for people to believe you!"

The army of "shadows" was approaching everyone, and it seemed that their roars were echoing throughout the school as far as the eyes and ears could see.

"There are mirrors and light in the church..." Xiao Yao supported Yu Luying: "Maybe that place is beyond the reach of the school. Even if the mirrors over there cannot be used as entrances and exits, we can use it as a shelter until dawn. If we can get out, we can directly meet Father Yu..."

Shen Jie disagreed: "Can a church be used as a refuge? Moreover, it is an unknown area that has not been explored, and it is too dangerous. In this world, everything is fake, and everything could be a trap...

No time to think.

The parent-child education center is located on the second floor. The floor height of this school is... okay, not too exaggerated.

Shen Jie acted decisively, flipped over the railing, leaped straight into the tallest bush, and then rolled twice on the ground.

The girl groaned in pain.

Still injured...

However, it's not a big problem.

"Jump quickly, I'll catch you!" Shen Jie stood up shakily and opened her arms.

Xiao Yao had already climbed out from the railing and looked down: "Can you do it?"

I am so big, if I kill Shen Jie, I will be left without a wife.

"Hurry!" Shen Jie shouted.

"Ah..." Yu Luying behind her screamed. The "shadows" had entangled her limbs and long hair and pulled her down.

Xiao Yao felt that his limbs were also tied up and his body completely lost balance. He slipped and fell headfirst into the bushes!

Shen Jie nervously stepped forward to take it, but her ankle suddenly felt a sharp pain. She could not support her body and fell heavily to the ground.

Afterwards, Xiao Yao stopped in mid-air, and the restless shadow instantly stopped talking, and the whole school became quiet.

Could it be that the great savior White Knight used the time-stopping technique? This was the first thought that flashed through Xiao Yao's mind.

Next, he heard a clear and pleasant electronic music, followed by "Hello? Hello? Ah-hum!"

Campus radio?

This is a tired baritone: "Students whose names are called, please come to the principal's office immediately. Students whose names are called, please come to the principal's office immediately. Student Xiao Yao, student Yu Luying, student Shen Jie, student Xiong Ji. I repeat, student Xiao Yao..."

Teacher Yao?

Then the sky brightened and Xiao Yao continued to fall, landing heavily on the ground.

Fortunately, since the altitude was reduced, it was not serious, but I still had stars in my eyes and a mouth full of blood.

Xiao Yao was already injured, and after this fall, he felt that he was close to death.

The so-called "bright sky" means that the street lights in the playground are lit up, and the lights in the corridor on the second floor are also lit up.

In addition, there was a huge searchlight shining on the heads of the three of them, just like a spotlight on the stage, announcing "Big Brother has discovered you."

--split line--

They didn't need a map to find the principal's office because Teacher Yao only left them one path.

Only the corridor leading to the "Principal's Office" is lit, and only the doors on this road are open.

All three of them were limping and covered in wounds, supporting each other as they moved forward.

The big toe of Shen Jie's right foot poked out from the hole in her cotton socks. It seemed that she had never encountered such embarrassment since she could remember.

Teacher Yao invited them to the principal's office for tea, and obviously did not give them a chance to refuse, because the "shadows" were still whispering and stirring outside the illuminated road.

"In our current state, if your teacher Yao wants to do anything, I'm afraid we have no chance of winning." Shen Jie said.

"It's hard to say whether Teacher Yao is a friend or an enemy," Xiao Yao pointed out, "He just saved my life."

"You!" Shen Jie said angrily, "Are you still harboring fantasies about your lousy teacher?"

"Teacher Yao is the master of the hall." Yu Luying's tone seemed indifferent, yet a little sad.

"It's already this late, who wouldn't have thought of it," Shen Jie said, "We thought this was Zhou Qi's Hall - but why is it called a Hall?"

Xiao Yao also found it very strange why the White Knight and Yu Luying both called this place a "palace" in unison, and Yu Luying seemed to know this place very well. For example, she was sure that going to the church could get rid of the "shadow".

"Yu Luying..." Xiao Yao shook the girl's arm.

"Ah, here we are." said Shen Jie.

"It looks exactly like the principal's office in real life." Xiao Yao looked at the two girls, nodded to each other, and reached out to push the door.

Before his hand touched the door, it opened by itself.

"Report, report!" Xiao Yao shouted habitually.

"Please come in." Teacher Yao's voice came out, sounding a little...distant?

Mild, tired, without much emotion.

The three of them walked into the principal's office, but it didn't look like an office.

There is no desk or chair in this room, and it is surprisingly large, with two entrances, front and back. There is a shoe rack under the wall between the entrances and exits, as well as a single changing room for temporary changing.

There was a plastic bucket at the door of the locker room, which looked a bit discordant.

The floor is original wood color and feels a bit springy when you step on it.

Mirrored walls on three sides make this "principal's office" appear larger than it actually is.

The air was filled with the smell of... stinky feet.

"Didn't you say that your school doesn't have a dance studio?" Shen Jie said quietly.

Only then did Xiao Yao realize that this was actually a dance studio.

There were seven or eight beautiful girls in the room. They were all the most beautiful girls in St. Francis High School and came from every grade. Xiao Yao was more familiar with some of them. They were all wearing ballet-like costumes and white dance socks, and were doing various stretching movements.

"Wu Xufei? Why are you here too?" Xiao Yao recognized one of them. The girl was standing in front of a mirror wall not too far away. Her figure holding the dance bar was clearly reflected in the mirror. The figure paused for a moment, then raised her left hand, stretched out her fingers, and then placed them together with the palm of her right hand.

The girl called Wu Xufei glanced at Xiao Yao indifferently, turned her head expressionlessly, and placed her slender right leg on the dance bar.

"You villain, how many girls have you kidnapped?" Shen Jie pointed at the man standing in the middle of the room.

Yu Luying shook her head and said, "These girls are not real humans, they are just projections of cognition."

"How do you know?" Shen Jie asked.

Yu Luying reached out and held her forehead again: "...I don't know either."

"Xiao Yao, you are still so lustful." Teacher Yao stood in the middle of the dance classroom and shook her head: "You have been here for so long, but you didn't even say hello to the principal. You just stared at the female classmates - this is why many students in the class hate you."

Being humiliated in front of Shen Jie and Yu Luying made Xiao Yao a little angry, but he still held back and did not lose his temper.

"Hello, Principal Yao." Xiao Yao replied in a muffled voice, "You are not much behind in this regard, right?"

He turned his gaze to his mentor and was stunned.

Teacher Yao was seen wearing a small crown on her head and a bright purple velvet cloak with white fur edges. She seemed to be wearing only a pair of underwear inside. The cloak could not cover her round belly, and a few tufts of black hair on her belly leaked out from the gaps. Under the cloak was a pair of bald and hairy legs, but her feet were barefoot wearing shiny black leather shoes. The overall impression could only be described in two words: "perverted."

"Welcome to the principal's office. It's a pity that you came too early. The children haven't finished rehearsing Swan Lake yet, so we can't give you a wonderful performance."

Happy New Year, brother and sister-in-law~

Chapter 67

2023-01-03

"Welcome to the principal's office. It's a pity that you came too early. The children haven't finished rehearsing Swan Lake yet, so we can't give you a wonderful performance."

"Oh my god, this guy is not Teacher Yao. This guy is not Teacher Yao..." Xiao Yao muttered to himself.

"He is indeed not," Yu Luying explained, "He is just the shadow of Teacher Yao."

"Shadow?" Xiao Yao asked.

Although Yu Luying did not explain further, Shen Jie could guess what was going on: "It's the dark side of the heart or the suppressed subconsciousness or something like that..."

Next to "Teacher Yao", there was a person named Seker who looked like Zhou Qi, wearing... uh, a maid outfit with rabbit ears and cat paws? She was picking at "Teacher Yao".

"This is not Seker, nor is it a product of cognition," Yu Luying reminded Xiao Yao: "She is really Zhou Qi herself."

Xiao Yao almost spit out: "No, how come you are like that white knight, knowing everything?"

"White Knight? Who?" Yu Luying was puzzled.

"Stop whispering in class," Teacher Yao's voice sounded a little distorted. "Yu Luying knows everything because I told her everything."

Xiao Yao looked at Yu Luying.

Yu Luying held her forehead and said, "Yes... I remember now! It was you who took my underwear!"

"It's really Teacher Yao?" Xiao Yao said so, but he was not that surprised.

"It wasn't Teacher Yao who took it," Yu Luying shook her head vigorously like a rattle, pointing at the figure in the velvet cloak, "It was him, he took it."
