Second Death

A moment later, the little girl returned, and said to him haughtily, "The teacher wants to see you in the office!"

After saying that, he happily returned to his seat.

Following her memory, Mi Chuchu found the office. As she stood at the door, she surprisingly felt a sense of fear, a feeling she hadn't experienced in a long time.

It's like a good student who's done something wrong and is afraid to see the teacher.

Pushing open the door, I felt a strange energy fluctuation emanating from the office, even stronger and more oppressive than what I felt at home with my parents.

This was completely different from her conversation with the little girl earlier. Mi Chuchu immediately realized the level of danger here, and with a look of trepidation on her face, she stepped into the room.

Few people who can clear Instance are incapable of acting.

"Lin Yi, come to your teacher."

A middle-aged man spoke from a spot further inside the office.

Mi Chuchu walked over, her gaze falling on the math books on his desk, guessing that he was the homeroom teacher who taught math.

"Teacher."

"Don't be nervous, it's normal for classmates to have conflicts. Just apologize to her when you get back."

"I called you here mainly because of your grades." The homeroom teacher frowned and took out several test papers. Mi Chuchu looked down and saw several big red crosses, with scores between 75 and 85.

"What's wrong with you these past few days? You haven't been paying attention in class, you haven't been doing your homework on time, and you've done so poorly on the test." The homeroom teacher pointed out his mistakes sternly, tapping his fingers on the test paper. "These are all questions we've covered before, how many times have you gotten them wrong?"

Mi Chuchu quickly extracted the information: Lin Yi had been studying at this school since the beginning, but now he has come to a new home from an unknown home, but he hasn't transferred schools?

Faced with the teacher's question, you choose:

A: Tell the teacher the truth

B: Remain silent

C: Use other excuses to get by.

Mi Chuchu wanted to choose A, but the problem was that she wasn't sure why Lin Yi's grades had dropped.

She still wanted to choose C; talking nonsense was just a matter of blinking an eye for her.

However, given Lin Yi's personality, remaining silent would be more appropriate.

So Mi Chuchu lowered her head and didn't say anything. Sure enough, the homeroom teacher sighed and said, "You're a good kid in every way, except you don't like to talk."

"I know something's happened at home these past few days, but you're a good kid, you can't let those things affect your grades! How many times has this happened already! If you don't keep up with your studies, you'll fall behind. Your family... sigh, given all that, you need to work even harder!"

Mi Chuchu desperately wanted to ask Lin Yi what had happened at his home, but she chose to remain silent, otherwise she would trigger the Rules and die again. So she had no choice but to swallow her doubts and continue to remain silent.

The teacher said a lot, and finally said, "If your grades are still this bad next time, I'm going to call your Dad."

Upon hearing this, Mi Chuchu was alarmed and quickly nodded, promising to study hard from now on.

Emerging from the office, Mi Chuchu slumped her shoulders. "As expected, being called in by the teacher is never a good thing."

Qin Rang comforted her, "It's alright, it's just a matter of grades. If it were a test today, even elementary school questions wouldn't be difficult for us."

Mi Chuchu then noticed that Bai Yang and An Ying were missing. "Where are they?"

"I went to the classroom to find out your seat," Wang Ding said. "I think they should have some information by now; you can go back to class."

Mi Chuchu nodded. There were quite a few students in the Corridor, and she was afraid of running into trouble again, so she tried to walk close to the edge of the Corridor.

But she was still being targeted.

Mi Chuchu had noticed the tall boy staring at her with ill intent from the beginning, but she pretended not to see him and sped up. However, seeing that she didn't react, the man walked over quickly.

The boy came up to her and, with a deliberately mocking smile, bumped her hard with his shoulder.

Mi Chuchu was knocked backward, causing the boy passing by behind her to stumble as well.

"What are you doing? Can't you walk?"

Mi Chuchu leaned against the wall to get up, her brows furrowed tightly. If she were in his body, her fist, the size of a sandbag, would already be kissing his cheek.

She had never been provoked like this before in her entire life.

But Lin Yi had no strength left and was in Weird World, so she just frowned and suppressed the urge to fight back.

Qin Rang asked, "Are you alright?"

Mi Chuchu shook her head.

Qin Rang trusted Mi Chuchu. Although Mi Chuchu was straightforward, she wasn't the type to only resort to violence; she was reliable in times of trouble.

Within the squad, she possesses relatively balanced abilities, so she is frequently dispatched to other squads or sent on solo missions to rescue other squads, spending little time on missions with them.

"Ha ha."

Seeing her pathetic state, the boy became even more arrogant and deliberately shoved her, pinning Mi Chuchu against the wall. Mi Chuchu suppressed her anger and turned to look at him, only to be greeted by the boy's suddenly gaping mouth, torn open from his face to his stomach.

A damp, fishy smell filled the air, and the pain of tearing skin spread throughout her body. Her bones creaked and groaned as Mi Chuchu's head was pierced once more by eerie sharp teeth.

The headless body swayed, gushing blood, and collapsed in the bustling Corridor, staining the white tiles red.

After dying and being resurrected, Mi Chuchu saw the tightly closed office door in front of her.

She leaned against the wall, her face pale. The pain of being chewed still lingered in her body, and the stench of decay and blood in her nostrils had not completely dissipated, making her want to vomit.

Another heart has been removed from the head, leaving only six lives.

"Sister Chu, how are you?" Tao Yuan hugged Mi Chuchu's arm and asked anxiously.

Because of her death, all the chibi-style Dolls that had been recalled returned to her side.

Mi Chuchu knew what they were worried about. Despite the cold sweat beading on her back, she shook her head and said, "It's okay. The death experience here isn't that specific. I can handle it."

"Luckily, it was Sister Chu who was chosen. If the rest of us had died eight times, we would have collapsed before even leaving the Instance..." Sheng Qingqiao was slapped on the head by Bai Yang before she could finish speaking. She looked up and received a glare from her captain, so she could only shut up in confusion.

They didn't know what it would feel like to experience death unless Mi Chuchu told them, only that it would definitely be unpleasant.

"How did you die just now?" Bai Yang, who wasn't at the scene, asked.

"I don't know, no pop-up appeared in front of me." This death was more sudden than the last one; Mi Chuchu was completely unprepared to die, otherwise she wouldn't have reacted so strongly.

"There was no pop-up, but there's still a risk of death," Wang Ding said. "When that strange provocation just now, perhaps your reaction was wrong; Lin Yi wouldn't have reacted that way, which led to your death."

Mi Chuchu pondered, "I didn't retaliate or say anything when he attacked; that's something Lin Yi would do."

Bai Yang said, "Could it be your eyes? Lin Yi shouldn't have such a rebellious look in his eyes, right?"

Qin Rang shook his head. "No, Lin Yi isn't without courage either; he's held a knife before."
