Chapter 118: Night
The death of the head cook… didn’t negatively affect the students.
They were even whispering, secretly saying that these unskilled cooks should have died earlier. Fortunately, they were dead, and their food was better.
Recovering from the ordinary food, the haze brought by the new textbook had dissipated after a bit. But, the students were still holding onto their fears and were still burying them deep inside their child-sized hearts, causing them to be afraid of the next class at the bottom of their hearts.
During the afternoon class, they saw Ning Xiuli hold math books as she entered. All the kids felt a chill run down their spines, their tiny faces stiffening right away.
This time, no one was eager to make a statement, even the chocolates handed out by Ning Xiuli were rendered useless.
AdvertisementsFortunately, the math textbooks they used were the old versions, they only used the new versions of the Literature textbooks.
The afternoon class simmered down with great difficulty, and after finishing their tasty dinners, the kids weren’t in the mood to play. With one look at the black sky, they hurriedly ran to the dorm, burying into the quilts and closing their eyes.
Bai Yan was also one of them.

This ‘person’ walked towards his side and incessantly muttered beside his ear——
Advertisements“Bai Yan, are you asleep?”
“Bai Yan, are you awake?”
“Bai Yan, Teacher knows you’re awake. You didn’t do well in class today! Get up quickly and come with me to my office right away, I’ll make up for it in our class tomorrow!”
“Bai Yan, Teacher hates lying kids the most! If you continue to lie about being asleep, Teacher will kill you in a moment, do you hear me?!”
Bai Yan woke up from his slumber but his eyes remained tightly shut, pretending to not hear.
This familiar female voice, he didn’t need to open his eyes to recognize that it was Ning Xiuli speaking, but he still didn’t open his eyes.
He also recalled the person that died from eating cotton that night and died from having his stomach stuffed.
The ghost standing behind the window always liked tricking people.
Maybe this was Ning Xiuli, which it was impersonating.
Naturally, this ‘person’ was most likely from outside and had gone in. Moreover, her manner of talking was like the original Ning Xiuli’s. It could actually be Ning Xiuli herself.
However, if it were truly Ning Xiuli, then Bai Yan would more so not open his eyes.
He had personally helped Teacher Ning fix her office, so he naturally knew the state Ning Xiuli was in now. The teacher, who was already in hell, was looking for people, this was definitely not good. He pretended to not hear, maybe he could bluff his way through and not go out tonight.
AdvertisementsGranted if it was a ghost, it wouldn’t forcibly get him out of bed, right?
Bai Yan was fixed on pretending to be dead, not caring what Ning Xiuli says and not opening his eyes.
He slowed down his breaths, leading Ning Xiuli to set about and clutch his neck. Clutching onto him to quickly choke him. He still pretended to be asleep, making soft sleeping sounds and appearing like the sleeping dead.
After tossing and turning for a good while, Ning Xiuli finally let him go.
Bai Yan heard Ning Xiuli’s footsteps get farther, but she still hadn’t left the dorm. She was still inside lingering, moving to her next victim…
“…”
Bai Yan heard the woman’s footsteps halt, she was most likely crouching beside another student, whispering next to their ear and wanting to trick them to be awake.
Bai Yan couldn’t hear exactly what Ning Xiuli was saying. He pondered on it more, feeling that this must be Ning Xiuli’s ability.
For the past few days in this school, he has had first-hand experience with all kinds of ghosts, each one has its own unique abilities.
Compared to the other ghosts, when Teacher Ning was talking to someone, the others won’t be able to hear her. This was already normal.
“…”
A lot of time passed. Although Bai Yan couldn’t hear, it seemed that Ning Xiuli was talking for a long time.
AdvertisementsBai Yan was accustomed to Ning Xiuli, so he wasn’t intimated by her.
However, Ning Xiuli was tricking a girl right now, and she was actually quite scared of Ning Xiuli.
As soon as she heard that Ning Xiuli would beat her to death if she dared to fall asleep, the girl trembled from fright and didn’t care about the rule of being quiet in the middle of the night. She was so scared that she immediately opened her eyes——
Right after, she saw Ning Xiuli holding a phone in her hand, with a mouth full of sharp saw-like teeth, looking down at her smiling!
The girl’s heart felt a chill for a split second.
Teacher Ning… Her smile shouldn’t be like this.
Teacher Ning’s smile before, was it this scary?
This girl’s heart had a vague premonition, but she still thought this was a fluke and tried hard to raise her head, smiling, “Teacher Ning, I’m up. See, I’m not pretending to be asleep, I…”
“Why are you still not asleep in the middle of the night?”
Ning Xiuli interrupted her, grinning sinisterly as she said, “Didn’t I say before? You are not allowed to talk during the night when everyone’s sleeping! Why don’t you listen?”
The little girl was tongue-tied and choked with emotion, immediately wanting to refute—— Wasn’t it you who called me?
However, before she could open her mouth, she saw Ning Xiuli’s mouth open wider and wider with some sort of crunching sound, showing her dense set of sharp teeth.
AdvertisementsThe girl’s delightful smile remained frozen for an instant. She began to continuously tremble because she finally realized something——
Teacher Ning, she…
She was not a person!
The girl abruptly erupted into desperate howls. She began to cry loudly, intending to wake up her surrounding classmates to face this frightening teacher with her.
However, Ning Xiuli didn’t give her this opportunity.
As soon as the girl moved her foot, Ning Xiuli dragged her by her pigtails, carrying her whole body.
The girl’s scalp was in pain from being dragged. Her hands thrashed about and hit Ning Xiuli’s cold and deathly pale hands. Her legs were also incessantly kicking the air.
She was dragged out of the dorm by Ning Xiuli. On the way out, her feet were able to kick quite a few classmates, but not one of them woke up.
The girl knew that her classmates must be awake.
Even those who were asleep, upon hearing her calls for help, were woken up for sure.
Under the flashlight’s illumination, the girl could see her classmates silently pulling the quilt, covering their whole bodies with them.
Seeing this, what did she still not understand.
No one was more desperate than the people around you.
They all knew that when encountering a frightening situation, not one person would be willing to extend their hand.
Everyone would only open their eyes to watch you die.
Standing at the side and watching everything unfold with cold eyes.
At this moment, the girl was dragged out of the dorm by Ning Xiuli.
At this time, she gave up asking for help, she didn’t even bother howling.
She began making mournful shrieks, her mouth gushing out a steady flow of curses——
She cursed her classmates, wishing that every one of them would get killed by Ning Xiuli.
She cursed everyone to have wretched deaths.
Why was I going to die, while you all still lived?!
Why didn’t you save me?
The girl’s curses continued until the hall before slowly disappearing.
From start to finish, no one made a sound inside the dorm, but every person was well aware——
At this moment, everyone was awake.
