Chapter 114: Graduation

“Where has he been sent to?”

Du Bai, who sat beside Gao Ming, was so scared that he didn’t dare to move. If he were the one in Gao Ming’s shoes, he’d be sent out already. Du Bai wanted to use the toilet. His feet trampled the ground. Gao Ming didn’t reply. He just shot Du Bai a look to focus in class.

After the student was sent away, the atmosphere became more anxious. The students paid attention to their books and forced themselves to stay focused. Gao Ming thought back to what happened.

The student who sat in the last row and disturbed others seemed different from others. His uniform was old and not fitting. He seemed to wear a dead person’s uniform. Gao Ming was trying to piece together everything when he heard a scream coming from upstairs.

“Someone is jumping!”

Gao Ming glanced out the window from the corner of his eyes. A man about 60 fell down the building. It wore the school uniform, and its body was stuck close to the window. The face was almost stuck to the window. Its lips still had a smile.

Du Bai wanted to look, but Gao Ming grabbed his shoulders. “Don’t look.”

A few students were pulled away. They rushed to the window to look.

“Another jumper? How many is it today?”

“It was pushed!”

“If he was punished, why was it smiling?”

“Yes. I saw it smiling!” The students discussed. The class exploded. A girl who sat next to the window turned her body slightly since everyone was discussing the incident. She leaned to look down the window, but there was nothing on the ground. She didn’t see a corpse or blood.

“Where’s the body?”

The girl’s back chilled. She sensed something and slowly turned around. The students who came to the window stopped talking. They stared at the girl. They had scary expressions.

“You…” The girl was caught. The students’ fingers seemed to dig into her body. They worked together to throw the girl out the window.

“Someone’s jumping!”

After the students tossed the girl out, they screamed as they ran out of the classroom. They announced to everyone that there was another jumper.

Du Bai witnessed everything. His limbs chilled. His stomach was cold. He couldn’t believe his eyes. In just a few seconds, a life was gone. Staying in the classroom suffocated Du Bai. He had no idea how many monsters remained among the students. He had no idea when he’d be killed too. Du Bai didn’t want to stay in the classroom any longer. Eventually, he’d break the rules. His face was white. Du Bai’s only hope was Gao Ming. He turned to look, and Gao Ming was learning how to calculate the circumference.

Resisting the fear and the urge to pee, Du Bai wrote a note and passed it to Gao Ming. “What should we do?”

“Don’t listen. Don’t look. Focus on your homework.”

Du Bai just got the note back when a familiar voice came from the corridor. Someone from Gao Ming’s class was caught. Afraid that the note-passing was exposed, Du Bai tossed the note into his mouth before the teacher turned around. But then, he remembered that he shouldn’t eat in class either. He didn’t dare to spit the paper out or swallow it. He could only lower his head to focus on the question.

“Gao Ming! Du Bai! Save me!” A hand slapped the window. Ma Tao’s five fingers gripped the windowsill. He yellowed. Du Bai lowered his head. Sweat dripped down his face. His body appeared petrified. Gao Ming was still solving the equation.

“Gao Ming!” Mao Tao’s voice distorted. He was in great pain. His body was heavily wounded. “You won’t even save me! I’ll haunt you when I come back as a ghost!”

The head slammed into the glass. Ma Tou struggled for a while before he was dragged away. A bloody print was left on the window. Ma Tao’s voice echoed in the corridor.

“That person shouldn’t be Ma Tao. We saw Ma Tao drinking in the canteen. He and the others were sent away by the chefs since they didn’t leave on time.” Du Bai grumbled.

“Shush!” The teacher suddenly walked down the podium and stopped beside Du Bai.

The female teacher stared at Du Bai’s face and asked scarily, “Did you eat something? Open your mouth!”

Du Bai kept his head lowered. He was so nervous his body shook. He wanted to pee so badly.

“I didn’t eat anything.”

“Open your mouth!” The teacher ordered sternly. Then, she rolled up her sleeves like she wanted to reach her hand down Du Bai’s throat.

As the teacher’s hand approached, Du Bai backed away. Just as he was about to have no place to hide, the bell rang. The teacher paused. As nothing happened, she returned to the podium. She picked up her stuff and moved to the next class. Du Bai’s back was wet. He pulled Gao Ming and ran out of the classroom.

“Gao Ming, come with me to the toilet! I don’t dare to go alone.” Du Bai was a teacher. He didn’t realise classes could be so scary. He might need to change his career after this. When they entered the toilet at the end of the corridor, Gao Ming and Du Bai received a message from Zuo Jun.

Zuo Jun, “You’ve completed one class and gained one merit point. Gain 100 merits within a week, and you can graduate successfully.”

“Merit? Graduate?” Gao Ming looked at the message. “It mentioned graduation but not leaving the school.”

“Gao Ming, are you still outside?” Du Bai, in the cubicle, would ask every few seconds.

“Yes.” Gao Ming was speechless. “Pee faster.”

“There are so many things written inside the cubicle.” Du Bai opened the door. He pointed at the door. Many scary words and rules were written there. The handwriting was different. “The toilet appears to be where the living students exchange their info.”

“What if these are left by ghosts?” Gao Ming scanned the messages. “Furthermore, humans can be scarier than ghosts.”

During the class earlier, when the male student was dragged away, he looked at Gao Ming like he wouldn’t hesitate to kill him.

Gao Ming took out a picture of the messages with his phone. He saw that the chat group of his class was blowing up.

“Someone is dead?!”
