Want to talk to a psychologist?

When Zhao Yijiu realized what was happening, she was genuinely angry. The "Yu Xing" in front of her was still wearing that approving expression, which was incredibly irritating to her.

This time, he didn't hesitate much, once again giving "Yu Xing" the middle finger and adding a look of disgust.

Yu Xing's smile vanished.

"Alright, you really won, but how did you figure it out? The first two times you exposed me, weren't you looking at where this person was standing?" The ghost asked this stupid question in Yu Xing's voice. Zhao Yijiu watched coldly. He decided that if this ghost continued to dawdle like this, he would use the power of the vengeful ghost within him to make this ghost disappear from his sight forever.

The last question didn't elicit a response from Zhao Yijiu either. The ghost shrugged regretfully. "You guys are really hard to deal with, both you and Roy. Why are these transfer students so annoying?"

"I finally had a chance to experience the joy of playing pranks, but my joy is gone. Fine, fine." The ghost finally gave up. Its body exploded into a cloud of blood mist with a bang, then vanished into thin air.

This time, Zhao Yijiu clearly felt that a kind of confinement that had been frozen around him had been broken, and the sound returned to his eardrums, much clearer and more real.

He hadn't actually moved an inch, remaining pressed against the shadow of the back door. The conversation in the office had to continue, but it had already drifted away from the events of his attack by the ghost. He didn't know how long he had been in that other space.

Turning his head, he saw Yu Xing staring at him from the toilet door, a faint smile on her face. It wasn't the kind of approval a ghost would put on, but rather a natural trust.

Yu Xing trusted that he could perfectly resolve the ghost's attack, rather than, as those fakes might have imagined, standing in a superior position looking down on him.

Zhao Yijiu gave Yu Xing a wide smile this time, then continued eavesdropping for a while longer.

When the ghost attacked him, he had already heard many key points and probably hadn't missed too much crucial information. In short, the conversation in the office had now turned into a discussion of speeches given by successful people from various professions outside.

The Highest Honor Medical Professor, Textbook Compiler, Planet Authority... all these prestigious titles and statuses are nothing more than topics of conversation in their mouths. Despite these "teachers" praising their status and eloquence, Zhao Yijiu could still vaguely detect a hint of jealousy and belittling in their words.

Indeed, as leaders who treat their own kind as trash, these teachers are naturally more concerned about the gap in status and the opinions of others. When they casually throw their students into hell, aren't they also constantly fearing being abandoned and struggling in the filthy quagmire?

Having obtained no more useful information, Zhao Yijiu quietly retreated, nodded to Yu Xing, and mouthed, "Back to the classroom?"

The intelligence can only be shared in the dorm after we get back at night, because nowhere in the teaching building is safe.

Yu Xing didn't nod directly, but pointed to the women's restroom next door.

Zhao Yijiu: "..."

For a fleeting moment, Zhao Yijiu thought Yu Xing wanted to go into the women's restroom to take a look. Although it wasn't impossible given the circumstances, it still felt a bit awkward; he had never been into a women's restroom before...

"What are you thinking about?" Yu Xing noticed Zhao Yijiu's hesitation, and the subtle softening that came with it, and almost laughed. He leaned close to Zhao Yijiu's ear and whispered teasingly.

"..." Zhao Yijiu's gaze at Yu Xing clearly conveyed the message: "Isn't it you who wants to go in?"

"I mean," Yu Xing said helplessly, very carefully in a soft voice, "I just heard some noises in the women's restroom. They should be coming out soon. We can wait a bit and check on them as soon as possible."

So that's how it is... Zhao Yijiu pretended nothing had happened, stood aside with a sullen face, and tacitly agreed to Yu Xing's suggestion.

Yu Xing said he heard a sound, and he really did hear a "sound". When he noticed that Zhao Yijiu hadn't moved for more than a minute, he knew that the ghost was already attacking Zhao Yijiu. At the same time, a strange singing voice came from the women's restroom and faintly reached his ears through the restroom door.

The sound was muffled, as if he were inside a sealed sphere. He seemed to have only heard the singing for a few short seconds, and then it disappeared as soon as he blinked.

Yu Xing suspected that at that moment, she might have heard the sounds of a ghost moving in another space in the women's restroom, probably similar to how the clown man's shrill laughter was heard by the people outside when he jumped out of the stall.

This is against the rules.

He broke the rules without much effort.

To put it another way, it's like someone lying at home in a perfectly normal situation, and suddenly hearing people arguing in the same house in a parallel universe. The two spaces strangely overlap, and that overlap is the person who heard the noise.

The two waited at the toilet door, then gradually retreated to avoid being too conspicuous and being seen by someone who happened to appear in the corridor. About five minutes later, a heart-wrenching cry and scream suddenly erupted from next door. This time, there was no mysterious force to stop it. Not only Yu Xing and Zhao Yijiu in the men's toilet, but even those in the classrooms in the corridor could hear it.

"Ah, let me go! Let me go!! Ah!!"

This was the first time they had clearly heard such an indescribably sorrowful cry during their evening self-study session. In the past, even when unseen events occurred, they were mostly silent. This piercing cry made the students tremble during their self-study, and they all showed expressions of fear.

In fact, they had heard many people cry before, whether they were caught by the red armband, punished by the teacher for making a mistake, or broke down in public knowing they were about to die. But none of them were like this time.

In the past, when they heard crying, they would feel numbly sorry for the person or sympathize with them. But this time, the crying seemed to be a fear branded deep in their souls, making them feel dazed, as if their own souls were about to be torn out of their bodies along with this heart-wrenching crying... It's dangerous!

Who's crying? What happened? They couldn't help but think, please stop...

If they don't stop, it seems like they're all about to die...

"Oh my god." Yu Xing was standing right next to the women's restroom, separated by only a wall. The piercing cry came out so suddenly that he was startled.

"So noisy," Zhao Yijiu commented coldly.

The crying was clearly a girl's voice, but they both knew it wasn't something a human girl could cry like.

What are they doing next door?

Why would Female Ghost cry like that? And regardless of whether this Female Ghost did it intentionally or not, her crying is extremely harmful to humans. Shouldn't there have been overlapping and sealing of spaces?

Yu Xing touched the tip of her nose and tentatively glanced outside.

With such a loud commotion, the people in the office should have heard it, but will they come out?

From his vantage point, he could see both doors of the office, but neither of them made a sound. It was as if the people were deliberately playing dead, completely ignoring the pitiful screams.

"The attitude of the people in the office towards this kind of thing is quite interesting. It seems like they're deliberately letting students be attacked by ghosts during evening self-study. For example, right now, no matter how loud the commotion is, as long as most students don't cause a scene, they won't interfere."

"But they don't seem to be completely aligned with the ghosts; they can't even tell the difference between students and ghosts." Amidst the noise, Yu Xing's voice was drowned out, and Zhao Yijiu had to strain to hear him.

After listening, Zhao Yijiu shook her head, frowned, and looked to the side. "I'm more concerned about what happened next door."

"Probably..." Yu Xing wasn't entirely sure, but since the screams came not from a human but from a ghost, and in such a miserable state, and even the spatial overlap had disappeared, it meant that the rules governing the events in which this ghost existed had been broken. Therefore, he could only think of one possibility.

"Perhaps Qu Xuanqing frightened the ghost?"

After he finished speaking, an eerie silence fell over the men's restroom. It was indeed a reasonable explanation, but they couldn't imagine what Qu Xuanqing was doing to achieve this effect.

Fortunately, the torturous noise disappeared after a while. Footsteps came from next door. Yu Xing walked outside and turned her head to see Qu Xuanqing's naturally upturned lips, but her expression was very indifferent.

Qu Xuanqing's school uniform skirt was stained with a few drops of red blood.

"Just you?" Yu Xing raised an eyebrow and asked in a low voice.

Qu Xuanqing turned her head, chuckled, and reached out to pull out a trembling, short figure—it was Lian En, the first one to ask to use the restroom.

But at this moment, Lian En's mental state seemed to be not good. She was dazed and confused. Although she could still stand, she had almost curled herself up into a ball.

Pulled out by Qu Xuanqing, she neither resisted nor spoke, but instead kept her head down and continued to tremble.

"She was terrified," Qu Xuanqing said. "Just now..."

She was halfway through her sentence when her expression suddenly changed, and she said with some fear, "I was with him in the restroom when a woman dressed in a song costume suddenly appeared. She was singing and holding a knife; she almost killed us!"

Yu Xing didn't even need to turn his head to look; he immediately switched gears, fear instantly creeping onto his face. "No wonder I vaguely heard sounds and screams from next door, what were those things?"

"No, I don't know, I don't know anything... She killed someone..." Qu Xuanqing shook her head, her teeth clenched tightly.

"Who killed someone?" A very gentle voice appeared beside them. Both of them turned their heads in fright and found that the Physics Teacher had appeared out of nowhere.

Zhao Yijiu lagged behind Yu Xing by a step, still observing the outside world from the shadows outside the men's restroom. He saw that the office door was still tightly closed, and in a flash, the Physics Teacher appeared, without him even realizing where the person had come from.

Fortunately, Qu Xuanqing was perceptive and adjusted his expression and began his performance as soon as the Physics Teacher's feet touched the ground around them.

The Physics Teacher, with the same polite and refined demeanor as during class, like a courteous young gentleman, said, "I heard some unpleasant noises just now and rushed over. By the time I arrived, the noise had stopped, and only you are here. Can you tell me what happened?"

"Okay, teacher..." Yu Xing and Qu Xuanqing replied in almost unison, their voices weak and filled with lingering fear.

Even at this point, they would never allow the Physics Teacher to catch them for not answering his questions.

Qu Xuanqing spoke first, "It's... it's... an outsider appeared in the restroom, a middle-aged woman in a gorgeous dress, and she killed Lisha!"

"She not only killed Lisha, but also tortured her. Both Lian En and I were terrified. Lian En is even more timid. Look at her..." Qu Xuanqing, with a pale and delicate face, stepped aside to let the trembling Lian En see, which made the Physics Teacher's face show a smile of uncontrollable pleasure.

Of course, the smile only lasted for a moment before the Physics Teacher quickly withdrew it. He also felt that none of the students had noticed his lapse in composure, so he pretended to be very concerned. "Was that crying from poor Lisha just now?"

"Yes, yes..." Qu Xuanqing closed her eyes, as if unwilling to recall that horrific scene. "What was that? She disappeared, disappearing with Lisha's body!"

"Don't be afraid, poor Isabella, it's all over now. You're safe, and you and Lian En are both safe." The Physics Teacher stepped forward, gently hugged Qu Xuanqing, and then politely stepped back. "I think it would be best if you both went back to the classroom now, away from where this happened, wouldn't it?"

After saying this, he turned to Yu Xing and said, "You're also very unfortunate, Roy. Perhaps your homeroom teacher forgot to tell you that there might be things in this school that you can't understand during evening self-study. It's best to stay in the classroom and not run around."

Yu Xing nodded. "Indeed, no one told us about this. My companion and I were almost scared to death."

The Physics Teacher, without even glancing at the "crime scene," seized the opportunity to say, "It's like this, the teachers who have been teaching for a long time are used to this situation and might overlook these small problems. If you don't understand anything in the future, you can come and ask me. I haven't been here long, and like you, I'm full of curiosity about this school."

"For example... I'll be concerned about your mental well-being. For those of you who were frightened this time, I've decided to schedule a counseling session at the school clinic for you tomorrow, so that you won't be traumatized. What do you think?"

Yu Xing glanced at him.

The Physics Teacher rushed over after the crying stopped. His first thought was to confirm how many people had died. But when he discovered that so many of the students involved were still alive, he gave a long, hypocritical speech, which was actually just a prelude to his statement.

The psychological counseling in the school clinic... is probably another plot point where death could easily occur.

Qu Xuanqing pursed her lips and shook her head. "Thank you for your concern, teacher, but I think I need some peace and quiet right now. I can't accept that something like this is happening in front of me. Perhaps talking to Psychology Teacher the day after tomorrow would be a better option."

She didn't refuse, but simply postponed the date to the day after tomorrow. The Physics Teacher readily nodded, "Of course."

When the Physics Teacher looked over at her, Yu Xing responded enthusiastically, "Okay, teacher, I'll go back tomorrow."

Zhao Yijiu, having stopped observing from the sidelines, suddenly stepped forward and said, "I'm going too."
