Chapter 113: First Class

“This is a reunion. As long as we’re happy, everything is fine. What are you people talking about?” Xi San’s face was red from the alcohol.

Wang Jie ignored Xi San. “All the calls are blocked. We shall try to see if we can leave this place.” Wang Jie had a strong intuition, but it was already too late.

They came to the school entrance. The rain poured. They walked for half an hour before returning to the same spot.

“No matter which direction we took, we would come back here.” Du Bai also noticed something was wrong. He sent Zuo Jun a few messages, but Zuo Jun replied with the same message–Have fun!

Seeing the same message, Du Bai felt strange and scared.

“We might be in an anomaly.” Wang Jie stood there with fear in his eyes. “You might not know certain things, but Han Hai is not peaceful lately.” To increase his survivability and gain more aid, Wang Jie told the rest about the anomalies. When he heard that a normal person only had 10 percent chance of survival, Xi San woke up from his drunkenness, “I’ll inform the other students.”

“No!” Wang Jie grabbed him. “Can you tell who is a ghost and who is human?”

“But we can’t leave them to die, right?”

“What an idiot.” Wang Jie scolded him directly. “First, I’m not sure if this is an anomaly because I’ve not experienced it myself. I only heard about it from my family elders. Second…” Wang Jie pushed Xi San into the wall. “Be quiet. Make noise, and we’ll attract the ghosts’ attention. Your actions might lure the ghosts to us! Our class has 50 fifty. Based on the probability, I hope we can be the last survivors.” People would die, but Wang Jie didn’t hope to be one of them. He shared the news because he wanted to use his roommates.

“Stop arguing. Our real enemy is probably Zuo Jun.” Gao Ming wanted to observe further, but he didn’t expect Wang Jie to know so much.

Wang Jie let go of Xi San and said darkly, “I knew something was wrong with Zuo Jun. That dude used so many dirty tricks to force me to attend this reunion.”

“Were you forced to join?” Xi San didn’t get mad at the attack.

“Why else would I come to this place in the pouring rain?” Wang Jie opened his phone to show them a few pictures. “Han Hai Charity’s spokesperson was attacked. The attacker was once my friend. The brat then led the team to investigate me. If I didn’t attend this reunion, he would frame me and ruin my life.”

Gao Ming read Wang Jie’s expression and knew that he was lying, but he didn’t expose him.

“Then, why did you attend this reunion?” Wang Jie looked at the others. “I believe everyone has their reasons too.”

“My gym is losing a lot of money. Zuo Jun said he could help me, so I came.” Xi San admitted, “I was being chased by the debt collectors. So, I came here for a change of scenery too.”

“My daughter fell ill with a strange disease. She became better after eating Zuo Jun’s medicine. He said he wanted a favour from me, and then, he’d treat my daughter for free.” Du Bai gripped his fists, “I hate people threatening me with my daughter, but I have no other solution. Gao Ming, what about you?”

“My situation is unique.” Gao Ming said seriously, “You should still remember Zuo Bo, right? He went crazy when we were in university. Zuo Jun said he knew why Zuo Bo went insane. If I didn’t come, the next one to go crazy would be me.”

“Then, you get the short end of the stick.” Xi San was quite optimistic. “What should we do now?”

“Follow all the rules and try to understand and record them. Find the loopholes in them.” Gao Ming gave them missions. “From now on, we’ll try to act like the students of Han Dei Private School and hide in the crowd. When the hostels reopen, we’ll return there to compare notes.”

“Okay.”

“We might be swapped out. So when we meet next, we should use a code.”

The four decided on the code. Wang Jie and Xi San went to the activity building without many students. Gao Ming and Du Bai headed to the math building.

“A class of 50 students, and everyone has their own plot. What kind of reunion is this?” Du Bai walked beside Gao Ming. After entering the society, pressure was heavy on him. His daughter was also sick, so he was annoyed by everything.

“At least we still remember each other.” Gao Ming asked, “Who do you think is the most anti-social among us?”

“You? No. There’s another one… But I can’t remember.”

The bell rang again. Gao Ming and Du Bai found a rather deserted classroom and entered. The teacher wasn’t there yet. There were many empty seats. They took the seats in the third row from the back. The tables and chairs were new. The drawers were filled with books.

Around 10 seconds later, a middle-aged woman in the investigation uniform entered the classroom and took the podium. “I’ll repeat the classroom rules. No talking, whispering or eating during class. No coming late and leaving early. Okay, now turn your book to page 37.”

The pages rifled. The teacher started the class. Everything was normal. Gao Ming spun his pen and listened to the class. However, five minutes later, a strange thing happened.

The male student behind Gao Ming suddenly stood up. He shuffled to Gao Ming’s side. His head twisted 90 degrees, and he bent to look at Gao Ming. The student had a strange expression like he wanted to see something in Gao Ming.

Gao Ming ignored him and kept spinning his pencil. He even took notes.

The male student stared unblinkingly while maintaining an uncomfortable posture. His lips opened. Black lines moved between his teeth. He slowly approached like he wanted to crawl inside Gao Ming.

Gao Ming’s line of sight was blocked. The teacher just finished a question. Gao Ming started to do the homework on his book.

The sound of a pencil on paper was riveting. After he finished the question, Gao Ming raised his head. The male student was gone. He moved to the student in front of Gao Ming.

The male student reached his head out, and the student in the fourth seat from the back was startled. He couldn’t control himself and screamed. After that, he quickly closed his mouth, but it was already too late.

The teacher paused, and everyone looked at him.

“You’ve violated the class rules. Go out and stand outside!”

The student stood up unwillingly. He looked at the empty last row and then at Gao Ming, “Why didn’t you warn me? Why isn’t it you?”

His voice was filled with venom. After he was dragged out, he disappeared.
