The second class in the afternoon was Johnny's math class. Due to the unexpected situation in the office, after consideration by Johnny and Director Gene, Yu Xing was kept in the office.

Director Gene, dragging his chubby body, hurried up the stairs to catch up with the Physics Teacher. After all, friction between students was commonplace, but so far there hadn't been any major conflicts between two teachers.

Johnny went to class too. Yu Xing sat quietly in the workstation that originally belonged to the Physics Teacher, like a puppet. Only when different teachers talked to him would he respond seriously, as if a button had been turned on.

After seeing Director Gene's attitude, some teachers became quite eager to get involved, almost treating Yu Xing as a new colleague they would meet in a few years. So they didn't put on much of a teacher's airs and spoke to him with smiles.

"You really are very good-looking. If you were to work at St. Johnis Middle School in the future, I'm afraid many female students would be vying to go to the school infirmary for treatment." The female teacher, whose face was high-pitched and whose voice was sharp, was sitting not far from him. When she brought up this topic, she didn't try to hide the smile in her eyes.

The more students go to the school clinic, the happier the school staff are.

"I'm still a student, and I understand what you mean. I hope I can get excellent grades in the upcoming tests." Yu Xing seemed neither completely insane nor entirely mad. "I can't wait to sit in the school clinic every day; the smell of blood there is truly intoxicating..."

"Roy!!!"

Suddenly, a loud, excessive roar erupted from the school building where classes had already begun. Students in nearby classrooms were startled, wondering what was about to happen.

Classes are currently in session on this floor. The teachers have just come out of the same office, and they immediately recognized the voice as that of the Physics Teacher from Class 4. Moreover, the teacher was calling out to the transfer student who had been noticed by the Psychology Teacher.

It seems it's true... The teachers who were giving lessons patted the podium to get the students' attention back, but in their hearts they were all thinking that Roy was right, only someone betrayed by "love" would go so crazy.

In Class 4 of Grade 3, Johnny almost swore, which was really embarrassing, extremely embarrassing... Regardless of whether the Psychology Teacher made a mistake or there were other hidden reasons, shouting inappropriately in public and making these students laugh at him, the Physics Teacher must be severely punished!

"..." Upon hearing Yu Xing's character name, Zhao Yijiu had a feeling that it was exactly what she expected.

He noticed that Yu Xing's behavior was strange after returning to class this time; she must have done something unusual, and it seemed to be something quite serious.

Inside the office, all the teachers frowned deeply, some even standing up to look outside. The Physics Teacher rushed into the office faster than he could climb the stairs, his eyes bloodshot, his target Yu Xing sitting in his seat!

Director Gene followed closely behind the Physics Teacher, but unfortunately, despite his position as director, his physical build clearly put him at a disadvantage in terms of speed. Moreover, considering that class was about to begin, he couldn't shout at him. He could only give a wink to the teachers in the office who were looking in their direction, signaling them to stop the Physics Teacher.

"Roy! You killed her!!"

Before Yu Xing could even react, the Physics Teacher rushed up to him again and lifted him up. This time, the Physics Teacher didn't grab him by the collar, but instead used his right hand to choke him. The immense force unintentionally revealed that the Physics Teacher wasn't alive.

The feeling of suffocation spread rapidly. Yu Xing frowned, her face pale and flushed with an unhealthy red. "Teacher... what... are you doing... help..."

The other teachers couldn't stand the youngest teacher acting so recklessly either. The sharp-faced female teacher snorted and suddenly stuck out her tongue, which flew out like a frog and wrapped around the Physics Teacher's right hand.

Yu Xing felt the pressure suddenly ease; the seemingly frail tongue seemed to possess a strong constricting force, forcing the Physics Teacher to let go.

"You killed her!!!" the Physics Teacher persisted, not even glancing at the sharp-faced female teacher. At this moment, Director Gene finally caught up, his face grim, a mixture of subtle emotions. Finally, he reached out and closed the office door.

The moment the door closed, Yu Xing vaguely felt a profound silence around her.

An invisible, magnetic field-like space seemed to gather within the office.

"This is outrageous! Outrageous!" Gene finally roared, as if the office were his domain. He raised his cane high and slammed it down on the Physics Teacher's back. "How could you do such a thing!"

The Physics Teacher suddenly knelt on the ground. He angrily tried to get up, but it was as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on his back, and no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't move an inch.

"What exactly happened?" a teacher asked.

"The Psychology Teacher has been murdered." Director Gene's small eyes, brimming with suppressed anger, glanced at the Physics Teacher kneeling on the ground struggling, then at "Roy," who looked bewildered and terrified, before announcing in a deep voice.

What?! The Psychology Teacher was murdered?!

Our Doctor has been murdered?

"Oh my god, how can this be? Our school can't do without her!" The sharp-faced female teacher's voice was the most piercing, "Who!?"

She seemed to understand something, her incredulous gaze shifting to the Physics Teacher, filled with hatred and shock. "You actually killed her because she found someone prettier than you?! How dare you?"

"It wasn't me!" The Physics Teacher's emotions were complicated. It wasn't just because he had been used and deceived, but also because he realized the truth when he discovered that the person who had disregarded his feelings was dead, and even more so because he was framed and might have to take responsibility.

"It's Roy! It's him!" He pointed at Yu Xing, who was pretending to be innocent, with eyes that seemed to want to tear him to pieces. The blood in his eyes finally materialized and turned into tears of blood that flowed down his face. Several teachers felt dizzy when they saw his face with tears of blood.

Yu Xing closed her eyes in time.

"Director!" cried the teacher, who was dizzy, "He's attacking us!"

"I think you want to die." Director Gene struck the Physics Teacher on the head with his cane again, knocking him to the ground where he groaned in pain.

In a short time, Yu Xing learned about the attack methods of the Physics Teacher and Director Gene. One possessed a powerful mental impact after shedding blood and tears, while the other had extremely strong physical attributes and immense strength, making him a ghost with very average abilities.

One is a ghost who possesses a domain and holds the highest position in the office.

"When I got there, the Physics Teacher was in the school clinic. When I opened the door, I saw him frantically wiping away bloodstains on the floor." Gene's face was grave. "In the school clinic, the Psychology Teacher has more authority than me, but I found that I had the same control over the clinic as I did in the office. I knew then that the Psychology Teacher must be dead."

He stared with disgust at the Physics Teacher was wailing incessantly. "So I stopped what he was doing and went over to look. I only saw him erasing bloody words next to the Psychology Teacher's corpse. He had already erased one word, and the remaining word was 'thing'!"

"The blood-written words left behind by the Psychology Teacher before her complete demise!"

"Isn't matter just physics?"

"Oh my god, he must have killed the gentle Psychology Teacher and then failed to notice the message Psychology Teacher left behind. By the time he realized it and tried to destroy the message, the headmaster had already arrived!"

Yu Xing covered her mouth, her eyes wide. "Why? She never promised you anything, how could you... how could you do this..."

"That's what you wrote..." The Physics Teacher's wailing gradually subsided, and he retorted through gritted teeth.

He naturally heard the discussions among his colleagues, but what he couldn't stand the most was the instigator's hypocritical framing.

"What you did violated school rules." Yu Xing became serious, yet also somewhat sorrowful. "No, I don't know if there's such a rule, but I believe that your act of trying to pin the blame on me after killing her out of fear is unbecoming of a teacher and utterly shameful."

"Keep making things up!" The Physics Teacher completely ignored everyone else's words, not even wanting to look at Director Gene behind him, who was clearly very unhappy, and only retorted to Yu Xing.

Because he knew this was his last chance, the Director Gene didn't stop his conversation with Yu Xing shows what? It shows that the director wasn't without doubts.

He just needs to reveal the truth here...

"She didn't say those things to you at all. I know I've been deceived and used by you. She didn't betray me at all!"

"You're lying. After you killed her, you tried every means to make me take the blame. As for the bloodstains? You had plenty of time to write them down after you killed her, because you went back to the classroom from the school infirmary by yourself!"

The teachers in the office remained silent.

The situation seems to have taken a dramatic turn: if either the Physics Teacher or Roy lies, the other will be completely doomed.

And what the Physics Teacher said isn't impossible...

"Where did I lie?" Yu Xing, filled with grief and indignation.

"Fine, I was on the debate team at my old school. Since you want to confront me, I'll ask you one question at a time!" His voice gradually rose, after all, he absolutely refused to let himself lose because of his emotions.

"Was your Psychology Teacher particularly special to you?" This is a question that almost anyone who likes someone will assume that person might have been special to them.

"Was it because you were good-looking that she showed you affection? Did she give you any special hints during your treatment?" The same logic applies here. Because the Physics Teacher liked the Psychology Teacher, he would feel that the Psychology Teacher had given him hints, regardless of whether the Psychology Teacher was kind or cruel to him at the time.

"After you returned to the school, did you often Psychology Teacher?" This is a fact that everyone can see.

"Do you like her? Are you trying to get closer to her by getting closer to her?" It's obvious that he likes her now. As for whether he hopes for her or not, even if the Physics Teacher says he doesn't have those thoughts, Yu Xing can still find a way to accuse him of something.

"Has she never made you a promise that she would only be special to you?" That's for sure.

Every question left the Physics Teacher speechless, and as they were listed one by one, even the observer's perspective became incredibly clear. It was as if, following the order of these questions, one could see an overconfident student who, in wishful thinking, believed that the Psychology Teacher treated him differently and placed himself in a position of possession.

Am I prettier than you?

"Did she cherish my appearance more, and not leave me with a single scar?"

Yu Xing opened her arms wide, once again as if displaying herself.

"Was it after I relayed her words that you rushed up in a rage?" He lowered his hand and asked a fatal question. "I'd like to ask you that, teacher. If you say you didn't kill the Psychology Teacher, then what were you originally trying to do by rushing up there?"

"I..." What did I want to do? The Physics Teacher opened his mouth, but found he had no excuse.

Because everything Roy said was correct.

He was furious that the Psychology Teacher wanted to abandon a student and establish a closer professional relationship with that student simply because the student was more attractive than him.

I'm very angry.

If the Psychology Teacher wasn't dead when he entered the school infirmary, what would he have done?

Questioning? Crying?... Driving into action out of anger?

"Are you planning to go to the school clinic, sit in front of the Psychology Teacher, take a sip of tea, and tell her that she has excellent taste? Are you someone who specializes in doing this kind of thing?" Yu Xing stared at the Physics Teacher Physics Teacher, whose tears of blood had been suppressed by Director Gene's domain and were no longer effective.

"I don't believe it. You did rush up to her and confront her, but why would a Psychology Teacher explain her actions to you? She must have calmly admitted it, while you..."

"Your anger is baseless and unreasonable; it's all wishful thinking on your part, which is why she's provoked you again. Now let me see what you'll do in your rage." Yu Xing held up one hand, counting on her fingers.

"You assaulted me in the office. You disregarded Director Gene, your superior. You also disregarded hierarchy, brazenly causing trouble for the Psychology Teacher. After class had started, you yelled and disturbed all the students."

"Even after returning to the office, you still showed no respect for Director Gene, like a dog that wouldn't listen to its master and insisted on chewing up the sofa."

After he finished counting, Director Gene's face darkened even more, and the other teachers also suddenly realized what was happening.

Yu Xing's tone was both genuine and doubtful. "After you got angry, you did so many bad things. Now, are you going to tell me that when you rushed up to the Psychology Teacher, you didn't plan to do anything to her?"

The Physics Teacher decided to stop talking.

Because he had nothing to say.

Even if he had fallen into a trap, he had cooperated step by step to get into it, and besides, he couldn't beat Roy no matter what he did now.

This step-by-step questioning was truly...

That's terrifying.

The methods used to drive people into despair are ruthless.
