Chapter 142: Blame

“There’s a record of the ways to join the student council in the female toilet?” Liu Yi’s words successfully grabbed Gao Ming’s interest in the female toilet. It was not that he was a pervert, but he wanted to know who left behind so much info in the female toilet.

“I can’t confirm how authentic the info is. We can use this chance to verify it.” Liu Yi shared with Gao Ming her plan. “When it’s time to get off school, we’ll follow the student council members and see what they do after school. We might find their lair.”

“The word lair shows that you still view the student council members as monsters. If you really want to join them, you have to change your perspective, or you’d be easily exposed.” Gao Ming taught Liu Yi some tricks in self-hypnosis. She had to first trick herself before she could trick others.

Class 13 returned to their class. When everyone entered the classroom, they realised the numbers on the blackboard had changed.

“The living human number is 33, and the ghost number is 10.” Wang Jie stood beside the podium, “The art teacher killed three ghost students. This is good news for us.”

“Did you forget what the teacher from the first class said?” Zuo Jun said coldly, “If we can’t get all 51 students to attend the class tomorrow, everyone will lose the qualification to attend the event.” Zuo Jun’s words chilled everyone’s enthusiasm. “The self-study class is not for us to relax but for us to have time to discuss together.”

“Actually, I’m curious. Where did the people who had been taken by ghosts go to?” Wang Jie stared at Ma Tao. “Now, we have more humans, and ghosts can only kill by the rules in the morning. Should we work together to force the ghost students to speak?” Wang Jie came from a powerful family. He was raised not to be afraid. In his eyes, ghosts were just harder-to-kill humans.

“Compared to finding those people, it’ll be faster to get ghosts to join our class.” Once Zuo Jun said that some felt averse to it, but he didn’t care about other people. “Currently, our class has 43 students. We need to find eight more ghosts.”

“The more ghosts there are, the more horrid the living human’s conditions will be. The reason we can still rationally discuss all the problems now is that there are more humans than ghosts. Once there are more ghosts than humans, we’ll lose all proactivity, and we’ll be led by our noses.” Liu Yi didn’t want Class 13 to absorb ghost students.

“Even now, you still want to put yourselves in the position of victims?” Zuo Jun walked to the podium and looked down on the rest. “Soon, you’ll understand that humans are more unpredictable and dangerous than ghosts.”

“Yes, and I think you are the most dangerous people in our class.” Wang Jie had a vicious smile on his face. “Why don’t we start with you? We’ll kill you and have a ghost replace you.”

Zuo Jun’s gaze turned dangerous. He stared at Wang Jie’s face, and his voice squeezed out between his teeth. “You can try.”

“I don’t know why you’re acting so high and mighty. You are a member of this class too. Anyone here can die. Don’t think that you can remove yourself from the equation.” Wang Jie leaned back on his chair and placed his feet on the table.

“I won’t object to finding more humans, but we have to be more prepared. We need to gather enough ghosts to fill up the numbers.” Zuo Jun walked down the podium. When he was about to pass Wang Jie, Zuo Bo, who had been silent, suddenly stood up.

“I know where our monitor, Yuan Hui, and Song Xue are!”

Zuo Bo’s voice grabbed Gao Ming’s attention. Song Xue was Liu Yi’s bestfriend. That night, Song Xue and Liu Yi were on the bus. However, Song Xue’s head was crushed and didn’t leave the tunnel alive.

“Have you seen Song Xue?” Not only Gao Ming but the other students also turned to Zuo Bo. Many students were gently persuaded by Song Xue and bombarded by her calls to join this reunion. Song Xue and Zuo Jun were killers who tricked them there. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ N0vᴇlFire(.)nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

“Yuan Hui is trapped in the office building. The rooms at the office building are cells. They are prisons for the dirtiest and ugliest secrets.” Zuo Bo’s eyes slowly moved to Zuo Jun, “Those people treat us as lab rats. They are Gods in uniforms. They think they can control everything and test everything on us!”

Facing the sudden accusation, Zuo Jun was silent. He only said one sentence at the end, “Every class by the investigation centre is there to help you understand the rules. The centre is trying to help you survive. You only need to remember that.”

“Don’t believe him! You should believe me. No! My brain is broken too! You should believe… him!” Zuo Bo suddenly pointed at Gao Ming. “I didn’t see him among the dead! He is alive, really alive!”

“Gao Ming and Zuo Bo are high school friends. They might have come up with this on their own.” Zuo Jun changed the topic rather forcibly. He started to want to kill Zuo Bo. “How can a madman like you know so many things? Was it Gao Ming who told you about them?”

“Don’t drag me into this.” Gao Ming said with annoyance. “I was the one who helped with the analysis in the art room, and I was the one who was abandoned. Think for yourself. Who has been trying to lead the class?”

The students also thought Gao Ming was innocent. All he did was suffer with everyone else.

Gao Ming glared at Zuo Jun. “You were the one who invited me to this reunion, and you are now trying to blame me? I haven’t done anything, and you threw me under the bus. Is it because what Zuo Bo said was right?”

“The fact that someone like Zuo Jun can become the captain shows how unreliable the investigation centre is.” Wang Jie stood with his roommate firmly.

“The essence of human nature is infighting. If there’s no enemy, you’ll create an enemy among yourselves.” Qian Junran sighed. “Stop arguing! Zuo Bo, continue. Where is Song Xue hidden?”

“She is not hidden. She has always been around us.” Zuo Bo took out his phone from his patient’s garb. “Song Xue is in here. She is a ghost. She is more vicious than the ghost students. She wants all of us to stay here forever!”

“What’s the point of discussing this?” Du Bai put down his phone. “We can’t leave our phones behind. This is the only way we can remain in contact. School is about to end. Why don’t we split into two groups? One group will go to the office building to find Yuan Hui. The other group will go and invite the not-so-dangerous ghosts to join Class 13.”

“Is it time to be picky?” Ma Tao’s personality changed a lot. He finally said his mind. “Based on our class’ current situation, you can only trick those dumb ghosts into joining us. I don’t see any chance of you escaping. Most likely, all of you will die and suffer a fate worse than being a ghost.”

Ma Tao painted the worst scenario. If even the scapegoats wouldn’t want to come catch them, their situation really couldn’t be worse.

The students argued until school ended. They finally had some freedom.

Gao Ming didn’t join Wang Jie’s group. He wanted to help Liu Yi. He followed her to the fourth-floor female toilet. After Liu Yi entered the toilet, it was like she had disappeared.
