To be honest, just the mention of that classroom makes me feel uncomfortable all over. I always sense a terrifying and gloomy atmosphere lingering there.
Gu Yuan saw my hesitation and knew I hadn't fully shaken off the shadow.
"Why don't you stay at home and rest? I'll go alone."
"No, no, no. I'll go with you. I just received a message from Yan Lin. It seems she's in some trouble."
After all, this is my classmate's matter. I can't always let him handle it alone.
Gu Yuan went out to get the car. On the way, I called the class advisor and asked her to wait for us in the classroom.
Winter nights come early. Around six in the afternoon, it was already pitch - black. Gu Yuan and I came to that classroom again.
Because of what happened last time, this classroom was under renovation, and no students were having classes there.
The class advisor should not have arrived yet. The door was locked, but such a shoddy lock was no match for Gu Yuan. He didn't even move his hands. He just walked to the door, and it opened by itself.
I followed closely behind him into the room. It was completely dark inside, and the scene of my abduction that day flashed through my mind.
Gu Yuan knew I was scared. As soon as I entered the room, all the lights came on.
The furnishings in the classroom were all new, and I could smell the scent of new furniture.
We had just entered the room when the class advisor rushed over in a hurry.
She was wrapped up tightly, with a headscarf, sunglasses, and a mask, not missing a single item.
She hunched over, looking around furtively as she walked into the classroom. She was still holding the talisman paper I gave her in her hand. She looked like a landmine - thief.
"Class advisor, do you have to be so exaggerated?" To be honest, she was like a different person from the "Dragon Slayer" I usually saw.
"Yes, yes. There was a ghost haunting here last night. In the surveillance footage, the desks and chairs were flying everywhere. And there was a female classmate in our class. What was her name... Oh, if we hadn't checked the surveillance to find out why the desks and chairs were broken, we wouldn't have known about her... Never mind, never mind."
I looked at Gu Yuan with a twisted expression on my face. I had a bad feeling. Was the old lady talking about me?
Gu Yuan didn't seem to care at all. His face was cold. He pointed to the space under the desk in the corner and told the old lady to get in there.
"You go and hide there."
At first, the class advisor was reluctant. With her students present, crawling under the desk would damage her image.
Gu Yuan didn't coddle her at all: "If you don't want to die, get in there."
Hearing this, the class advisor didn't say a word and trotted under the desk. She poked her head out and asked, "Is this okay?" I almost burst out laughing. She looked like a groundhog.
When Gu Yuan saw me laughing, his expression softened a bit. He said to the class advisor, "Don't move and don't make a sound, or you'll bear the consequences."
The class advisor got the order and squatted under the desk, nodding like a pecking chicken.
After making sure there were no other problems, Gu Yuan casually threw the Soul - Locking Pearl on the ground.
As a white mist rose, Zhang Man's soul floated out.
"Zhang Man." I called her name.
She was obviously frightened. When she heard someone calling her, her body trembled violently.
Her mournful eyes slowly lifted. When she saw me, she wailed and tried to throw herself into my arms.
But Gu Yuan blocked her back. Her body was like a kite floating in the air, slowly drifting to the corner of the wall.
That was the place where I was bullied by Man Yue before.
After Zhang Man's soul floated there, a memory illusion suddenly appeared beside her.
The protagonist of the illusion was Zhang Man. At that time, she was the only one in the classroom, reading a book. Suddenly, the classroom door was slammed open.
Zhang Man looked at the door in panic. A boy walked into the classroom. He was staggering, obviously drunk.
When he saw Zhang Man, his eyes lit up. He rushed up and hugged her. Zhang Man was so scared that she screamed and tried to break free and escape from the classroom.
But the boy grabbed Zhang Man's clothes tightly. During the tug - of - war, he tore her clothes to shreds.
Zhang Man was well - known for her good figure. Once her clothes were torn, her fair and smooth skin was exposed. The sight was a great temptation to the boy.
Before Zhang Man could get up and leave, he dragged her to the corner of the classroom.
At that moment, Zhang Man was like a fish on the chopping block, being brutally violated by this boy.
Zhang Man's soul relived the tragedy of that time. Extreme grief and indignation burst out of her.
She vented her emotions wantonly in the classroom, picking up the desks and chairs on the table and throwing them at the boy.
Unexpectedly, the boy actually reacted. He let go of Zhang Man, who was lying on the ground, and shouted loudly, "Who? Who is throwing chairs at me?"
Zhang Man never expected the boy to respond. The pent - up anger in her heart completely exploded.
She picked up the broken leg of a stool and angrily stabbed it into the boy's chest.
The boy howled in pain. Blood spurted out of his chest and splashed on Zhang Man's body and face. It looked extremely terrifying.
The class advisor, who was squatting under the desk, was almost scared out of her wits. Her legs were shaking violently.
I was just thinking that the class advisor wouldn't pass out from fear.
Sure enough, as I feared, the class advisor went limp. Her shoulder hit the table leg, and the harsh sound of friction echoed throughout the classroom.
The class advisor was startled. She was about to crawl back under the desk.
But it was too late. Zhang Man was already standing in front of her.
She was covered in blood from head to toe. The broken leg of the stool she was holding dragged on the ground, leaving a long trail of blood.
Zhang Man was expressionless, staring at the class advisor with extremely venomous eyes.
The class advisor was squatting under the desk, looking up slightly. She gasped in horror, rolled her eyes, and fainted again.
"Die!" Zhang Man had completely lost control. She raised the broken leg of the stool and stabbed it towards the class advisor's head.
In the blink of an eye, Gu Yuan moved slightly. In a split - second, the class advisor was already behind us.
However, Zhang Man didn't notice at all. It turned out that when Gu Yuan saved the class advisor, he had created a fake class advisor beside her.
Zhang Man stabbed wildly with the broken leg of the stool until she had vented all her anger.
Then she threw away the broken leg of the stool, howled towards the sky, "Dad, I've avenged you. Dad, come back and look at me... Wuwuwu..."
She cried so miserably. Her wails echoed throughout the classroom. The grief of losing a loved one really affected me. Listening to her sad cries, I kept wiping away my tears.
As Zhang Man's cries gradually subsided, Gu Yuan said coldly, "Are you done venting?"
Zhang Man then got up from the ground and slowly floated in front of Gu Yuan. She lowered her head. The bloodstains on her face gradually disappeared. Except for her pale face, she was no different from a living person.
"Come with me if you're done." Gu Yuan said.
Zhang Man nodded, seemingly having let go.
Just as Gu Yuan raised his hand, the class advisor suddenly rushed out from behind.
Her expression was extremely exaggerated: "I'm sorry, Zhang Man. I misunderstood you. Please spare me and my son."
When Zhang Man saw that the class advisor wasn't dead, she widened her eyes and looked at me. Her gaze was as if she wanted to devour me: "Lan Lan, you actually colluded with the class advisor to deceive me!"
