Chapter 123: Ding Yuan

“If not returning to the hostel at night is 5 merits deduction. How many points will I lose for breaking out of the hostel after night?”

“I don’t know. I haven’t been to school.” The big dog raced in the dark after consuming Gao Ming.

The rain washed the black fur. The big dog leapt through the shadow, appearing every few meters. Hiding in the big dog, Gao Ming studied the school after dark. The rain dripped on the textbooks no one wanted. Knowledge became blurry. There were people running in the corridor. They looked like they were singing or dancing. The sound of breathing came from the classrooms. Wingless birds wandered under the dark clouds. Blood lines were like the stars of this world as they dropped from the roofs.

The puddles reflected the strange world. A giant claw splashed through the puddles.

Occasionally, the big dog appeared among the crowd, attracting many gazes. The young couples stood at the edge of the forest. Students with IDs climbed over the walls. The patrolling teachers ran in a hurry. The security guards picked up the cap and put it on their heads slanted.

The speakers in the school were broadcasting some dark ditty. The gentle voice was hidden in the rain. It didn’t care if people heard it or not. The fake models in the art room would clap for it.

The strangely dressed students worked hard in the classrooms. The light in the last study room at the library flickered. The pool rippled like a big fish was there.

The paintings of students appeared behind the blackboard. Old scripts were tossed out the window. Love letters were hidden in drawers.

Hiding in the big dog’s body, Gao Ming couldn’t believe his eyes. The shadow world had its own rules and an indescribable beauty. “Every student who is active at night wears red uniforms.”

Without rules and limitations, the ‘mad’ unaccepted by society enjoyed the rain and darkness. Perhaps they might be killed in the next moment, but they chose to enjoy the present.

The big dog came to the office building and spat Gao Ming down. He hid in the shadows. “This building gives me a bad feeling. Why do you often like to come to dangerous places?”

“If I didn’t go to such places, I wouldn’t have met you.” Gao Ming rubbed the dog’s head. The dog shook its fur and drenched Gao Ming.

“Sorry.” The dog raised his head.

“You must have done it on purpose.” Gao Ming entered the building and headed to the headmaster’s office.

Even though the ‘students’ were abandoned, they had a good life. However, an external force came in to force them to follow the rules and fate. Most students were willing to follow the rules, but a small part became real ghosts. “The student council lied to everyone. The school is not as dangerous as they say at night.”

With the big dog’s help, Gao Ming reached the sixth floor without being discovered. The office building that felt so oppressive during the day felt more natural at night.

“We’re here.”

The headmaster’s office was in the middle of the sixth floor. A plaque with red background and black characters hung above the door. When Gao Ming got close, he realised the door was half-open, and many people were inside.

“Chief, of the 41 investigators, only 20 still listen to our orders. The rest has been assimilated by the school. They see themselves as teachers here. If this continues, all of us might be eaten by this school.”

The voice sounded nervous. Gao Ming recognised this voice. He was the east city investigation centre’s vice-captain, Li Biao. He trusted Situ An unconditionally. He once guarded the meat shop at Si Sui Apartment for Situ An and imprisoned Xuan Wen.

“Situ An, I can’t let you do this anymore! You are not investigating anything. You are risking everyone’s lives! You are not qualified to be the chief! Our Huan Men centre will do things our own way.” The other voice said strongly. Gao Ming compared the info he had. The elder, who called Situ An by his name, was the captain of the Huan Men Investigation Centre. Ding Yuan. He was an impartial elder. He was killed by Li Biao last time.

“Ol Ding, you can’t represent Huan Men anymore.” Li Bai said openly. “Chief, don’t worry. Huan Men will not violate the rules.” They argued until a voice said.

“When we’re at school, you are to address me as the headmaster. I need you to play your roles. Don’t need to care about anything else.”

Hearing this voice, Gao Ming’s heart jumped.

Situ An!

Gao Ming thought he could face everything rationally. But when he heard Situ An’s voice, the death memories in his heart room started to collide.

“Calm down…”

The intense pain tore through his heart. Gao Ming’s left eye bled. He moved his body to look into the office.

The investigators in uniforms stood in the office. All of them wore teacher IDs.

Gao Ming scanned the room, but he couldn’t see Situ An. He saw a computer on the table, and Situ An’s voice came from it.

“Such a careful man. Is he part of the school now?”

After Qing Ge and Doctor Lu were killed, Situ An couldn’t control everything anymore.

“The investigators we sent here are the elites among elites. They have all been through level 2 anomalies. If they all die in this anomaly, can you take on this responsibility, Situ An?” Ding Yuan slammed the table angrily, “You told us to mix into the school and what now? We’ve missed the best timing to conduct an investigation and pushed our colleagues into hell!”

“Becoming a part of the school is a way to survive. If they have a strong will, they can continue the investigation as teachers.” “What nonsense! You built this school. When we first came here, only Class 13 had a Level 1 Anomaly. However, in just a few days, the anomaly spread to the whole school. This doesn’t make sense. I have reasons to believe you are behind this!” Ding Yuan argued directly with Situ An for the safety of his subordinates.

“Ol Ding, calm down.” Li Biao slowly approached him. He consoled Ding Yuan, but his hand held a knife in the dark. He wanted to kill Ding Yuan!
