Sitting in the classroom, I gazed around aimlessly. Wu Yong had been acting strange today. He had hurriedly left halfway through, leaving me alone.
I looked around boredly. Behind me, a girl asked, "Hey, did you and Wu Yong have a falling-out?"
"What happened?" I asked curiously.
Horror Classroom Section 21
"These past few days, Wu Yong has been rummaging through your things whenever he gets the chance. Whenever you came over, he pretended everything was fine. He was practically like a different person." The girl spoke sarcastically.
My expression changed dramatically when I heard that. I looked at her and asked, "What did he find?"
"He went through all those papers you wrote," the girl said.
I said nothing and rushed straight out of the classroom.
As I walked down the corridor, I was extremely anxious. Wu Yong had indeed found out.
Recently, because of Han Qianqian, I had often been scribbling randomly on sheets of white paper. Although I had never stated anything explicitly, every clue pointed to the Abandoned School. Wu Yong had definitely gone to the Abandoned School.
The thought made me terribly anxious. I kept calling Wu Yong, but I could not get through at all. Now I was completely frantic.
I rushed straight to the Abandoned School. When I arrived, I saw Wu Yong following several people into the Abandoned School.
"It's over!" Seeing this, I felt the world spinning around me. The Wu Yong before me was walking down a road of no return.
The gate was about to close, and Wu Yong saw me too. He waved at me, but I could not hear what he was saying.
Seeing the gate about to shut, I acted on impulse and charged toward it.
Thus, at the very last moment before the gate closed, I threw myself into the Abandoned School. I sprawled on the ground and struggled to get up. Behind me, the gate closed automatically.
"Boss." Wu Yong extended a hand, his expression complicated.
I stood up and glared at him angrily. I swung my hand and slapped him across the face. After hitting him, I shouted furiously, "Who told you to come here, you bastard? Do you know what you're going to go through?"
"I know, but I don't regret it." Wu Yong looked at me, his eyes filled with determination.
I froze for a moment, then pointed at him and shouted, "Then tell me, what are you going to go through next?"
"I'll encounter a female ghost named Han Qianqian who will hunt me down. But if I survive, I'll obtain a huge sum of money," Wu Yong said seriously.
I grabbed him by the collar and shouted while staring at him, "How did you find out? Who told you?"
"I told him." A voice sounded behind me. I turned around and saw a man looking at me arrogantly.
"Who are you?" I asked him.
"His name is Wang Xianbo. He was the one who told me everything," Wu Yong said.
I frowned slightly and looked at Wang Xianbo. "You shouldn't have done this."
"I didn't want to tell him either, but he kept begging me. I could only agree. After all, we were middle-school classmates." Wang Xianbo smiled.
I looked helplessly at Wu Yong. He hurriedly explained, "This really has nothing to do with Wang Xianbo. After seeing the things you wrote, I started investigating Han Qianqian's situation, and then I met him."
"He's a good friend of mine. After middle school, he dropped out and started working. Then he suddenly became rich overnight. I learned the truth from him."
"Oh, is that so?" I looked indifferently at Wang Xianbo.
Wang Xianbo looked at me apathetically and shrugged. "I have a clear conscience. I didn't force him."
"This isn't Wang Xianbo's fault. I really wanted to become like you. So even though I knew I might die, I still don't regret it," Wu Yong said.
"You're an idiot!" Unable to restrain myself, I slapped him again. Wu Yong stubbornly said, "I know, but I'm not afraid of dying. I'm already so poor that living is meaningless anyway. But if I can become rich overnight, I'll be able to live a better life."
"You fool, you could have told me if you were in trouble." I patted him on the shoulder and looked around. My expression suddenly froze.
Besides Wang Xianbo, there was also a bespectacled middle-aged man and a heavily made-up woman standing before me.
I glanced at them, then looked at Wu Yong, my expression extremely strange.
"How are there five people?"
"You should be asking yourself that." Wang Xianbo also looked at me with a strange expression. "You've participated in several escapes, so you should know perfectly well that there should be no more than four people each time. But because you barged in by accident, there are five people this time."
"That's rather strange." I scratched my head, but then I thought of something and hurriedly looked around. "We should hide as soon as possible."
"What are you people doing? I clearly went to wash my hair. How did I end up here?" the woman asked.
I glanced at her, not even interested in answering.
The middle-aged man pushed up his glasses and looked at us. "You may not know who I am. I'm Teacher Ma, the new teacher at this school. I've already escaped from Han Qianqian three times. As a result, I've figured out her movements. As long as you follow my method, you can avoid her pursuit with one hundred percent certainty."
"So everyone must listen to me if we want to survive together. However, after it's over, you must give me thirty percent of the money you obtain."
"No problem," Wang Xianbo said. The other woman did not understand, but she agreed as well.
Only I pulled Wu Yong along and said indifferently, "I'll pass. I'll keep him alive."
"In that case, good luck." Teacher Ma looked at me as he spoke.
With a cold expression, I took Wu Yong to the second floor and beat him up without another word. He did not resist, merely saying, "Boss, I'll be counting on you from now on."
"Hmph. Wouldn't it have been better to take my money and enjoy yourself? Instead, you had to come here and die with me." I rolled my eyes at him.
Wu Yong smiled bitterly. "I know you're good to me, Boss, but that's your money. I can't rely on you to live. Besides, I'm truly sick of being poor."
"Sigh. Since that's what you want, suit yourself. Hide with me later, and don't make the slightest sound." I spoke to him sternly.
