Chapter 26 - perfume

After Xing Ye calmed Cao Qian down, he persuaded her to leave the men's restroom. It was not good for a girl to be seen doing a wall-bang with a well-known playboy in the school in the men's restroom. Although Xing Ye was the one who was pushed against the wall, generally speaking, when rumors spread, girls are more affected.

The two of them climbed up the escalator to the rooftop. This place was different from the rooftop in the comics where one could go up by stairs. The escalator was an iron frame embedded in the wall during construction. It was very high, and even maintenance personnel needed a ladder to climb up. However, Cao Qian just jumped lightly and reached the rooftop nimbly. Xing Ye was not to be outdone and jumped up by stepping on the windowsill. Fortunately, he was quite skilled and did not show any fear.

"It's relatively quiet here. Most students wouldn't climb such a dangerous ladder. Only maintenance staff and players can come up here," Xing Ye said. "Let me ask you, are you male or female?"

"Can't you see it?" Cao Qian pointed at her chest.

Xing Ye was silent. His breasts in his previous life were much bigger than Cao Qian's, but he was a man.

"It's okay, it's just that you go in and out of the men's restroom more naturally, so I had some doubts." Xing Ye explained.

"Don't talk about that useless stuff," Cao Qian sat down on the ground and took out the music score from her arms. "I compared it with the official score online and found sixteen differences. I was just about to go to the music classroom to confirm it when I heard you smashed the piano."

It's eighteen different… Xing Ye was very skeptical about Cao Qian's fighting ability. He believed that someone who could get 20,000 points shouldn't be so weak.

"I'm going crazy looking at this," Cao Qian scratched her hair. "I'd rather punch someone in the head than look at this."

Xing Ye: "Calm down. Your initial skills and the only special ability you have are of no use in the spiritual world. We should take a long-term view. There will definitely be other players trying to test me soon. You..."

Xing Ye paused, and Cao Qian asked, "How am I?"

Xing Ye said calmly, "Something hit my back. You didn't see anyone, did you?"

Cao Qian was sitting opposite Xing Ye. She stood up and walked around Xing Ye. "There's no one here, and they won't take pictures of me."

"These hands are quite powerful," Xing Ye pondered. "The other incredible incidents happened at night, but the one with someone filming from behind has no time limit. A ghost that can appear in broad daylight must be the strongest. But it doesn't seem to have any lethality at the moment, it's just a scare tactic. The head requirement is more important. If I can't find the head in three days, I'll have to kill Wu Yu and take his head to make up the number."

Cao Qian: "Why Wu Yu?"

Xing Ye added her as a friend on WeChat and showed her what Wu Yu had done to the homeroom teacher. Cao Qian was so angry that her hands were shaking. She said directly, "What are you waiting for? Just kill this scumbag!"

"Don't be so impulsive. He has someone behind him," Xing Ye said, holding Cao Qian down. "How did you get 20,000 points before you were so impulsive?"

He has no luck and no strategy, and he is not calm enough.

"I have a companion," Cao Qian said. "We were matched in the Novice World. Black and White Worlds can add each other as friends. He and I reached 20,000 points together, and we've met in real life. After adding each other as friends, we can team up and enter the same world. He's smarter, and I'm more skilled, so we can work together."

However, Cao Qian returned to the novice world due to suicide, and the two did not continue to team up in the melee world. There seems to be a story behind this, but Xing Ye is not interested in it.

What interested him was that Cao Qian could be matched with teammates in the novice world, while he was 1v3.

During this period, Xing Ye's younger brothers were not idle either. They had been following Wu Yu and Cao Qian. Xing Ye looked at his mobile phone at this time and found that someone had just told him that Cao Qian had entered the men's restroom. Unfortunately, Xing Ye was distracted by the ghost patting his shoulder and did not notice it at the first time.

[No need to follow Cao Qian, just keep watching Wu Yu.] Xing Ye sent a message in the group chat, unfollowing Cao Qian.

"Wu Yu went to the data room at noon today," Xing Ye told Cao Qian as he looked at the information. "The data room contains student files from the school's history, both electronic and paper versions. He must have gone to check on students who died in accidents."

"Then let's go quickly!" Cao Qian stood up anxiously.

"Don't worry," Xing Ye held her back. "It's highly likely that we won't find anything in the archives. At most, we'll find a few blank files on students. We'll have to search for the rest of the information slowly. Going there would be a waste of time. We still have two and a half days until the appointment. There's plenty of time. Don't worry. Let's go to Room 404 tonight."

"There is no 404 in this school. Have you found it?" Cao Qian asked.

Xing Ye nodded: "But I can't tell you for now. Let's talk about it tonight."

Cao Qian didn't ask any further questions, but instead asked, "What are you going to do from now until tonight?"

She was really used to following other people's orders. Xing Ye said, "Lure out the other two players."

After coming down from the rooftop, Xing Ye continued to wander around the campus, attracting everyone's attention while looking for the crying Mona Lisa in the corridor.

The three incredible events, a human head that likes to jump, a robin that plays the piano automatically, and an unknown entity that pats shoulders during the day, do not make the story clearer, but make it more confusing.

There should be more than one story behind this, but rather two or three stories intertwined together. We cannot simply regard the person in the girls' dormitory as the one who completed the task.

Xing Ye had already walked around the teaching building yesterday. The corridor walls contained a few inspirational quotes about studying hard, but no portraits of people. The corridors of the office building, library, and boys' and girls' dormitories were devoid of even decorative ornaments.

Xing Ye stood in the corridor of the senior year floor, looking at a famous quote: A little knowledge makes people proud, but abundant knowledge makes people humble.

This is a very common quote that encourages students to accumulate more knowledge. The only difference from other famous quotes in the teaching building is that the person who said this is Leonardo da Vinci, the creator of "Mona Lisa Smile".

The class corresponding to this calligraphy is Class 3 of Grade 3. Xing Ye peeked outside the door. The students were studying, and it was written on the blackboard that there were 7 days left until the college entrance examination.

College Entrance Examination...

Xing Ye suddenly thought of something and quickly went downstairs. When he was looking at the school's structural diagram, he had been paying attention to a newly built building. This building used to be...

"Xing Ye!" As they passed the second-year student building, their homeroom English teacher happened to be coming upstairs. Seeing Xing Ye, she grabbed him and said, "You skipped a day of class today just because you sent a text message saying you were not feeling well and needed to rest. Then, at noon, you ran into the piano room and vandalized public property. Come with me to my office!"

Xing Ye looked at the teacher who had such a good figure that Wu Yu was touching her all over, then stopped obediently and followed the English teacher to the office.

What was this teacher's name? Oh, Li Hong, a rather ordinary name that didn't suit her gorgeous appearance at all.

After entering the office, Teacher Li scolded Xing Ye from his freshman year to his sophomore year, from sleeping in class to failing exams, and even about his future college entrance exams, which made Xing Ye a little annoyed.

It was really annoying, and Xing Ye couldn't help but recall some unpleasant memories, but not from high school, but from college.

Teacher Li, who was like a fly, annoyed Xing Ye a little. He said, "Teacher, it doesn't matter whether I get into university or not. Can you please leave me alone?"

"That won't do!" Teacher Li slammed the table. "Even if your family is rich, you still have to study hard. I can't control other subjects, but you must learn English well. It's a matter of communication. Come to my office during evening study today, and I'll tutor you in English. There's still a year until the college entrance examination. As long as you work hard, you can make up for the missed classes!"

"Okay, I'll come in the evening. Teacher, can you let me go?" Xing Ye answered perfunctorily. Anyway, he didn't plan to come to study in the evening.

"Do you think the teacher is annoying?" Teacher Li sighed and asked.

"sh..." Xing Ye paused in the middle of his words and touched his chest with his hand. The mirror that had been sitting quietly in his pocket suddenly started shaking.

He suddenly woke up. Why was he so upset? It was just a few words of criticism from his teacher. He had faced countless people in the workplace who were more difficult than Teacher Li and had always remained calm. Now, even some unhappy memories were surfacing. What was going on?

It was as if he could say anything as long as Teacher Li stopped being so annoying.

Xing Ye patted the mirror to indicate that he understood. He gave Teacher Li a rather saucy smile, found a chair in the office, put his feet on the table, and said calmly, "Teacher, you talk, I'm listening, I'm not annoyed at all."

Teacher Li's pretty face twisted. She gritted her teeth and said, "Take your feet off the table! How disrespectful!"

Xing Ye: "Teacher, add WeChat and I'll show you a picture."

"What are you looking at?" Teacher Li picked up the phone nervously.

"Even if we don't look at the pictures, since the teacher wants to help me with English, shouldn't we exchange contact information? If I encounter any questions, I should ask the teacher."

Xing Ye still felt very annoyed, so annoyed that he wanted to destroy everything in the room, but he forced himself to hold back and acted as if he was completely unaffected in front of Teacher Li.

He put his hand in his trouser pocket, where he found a folding knife that Xing Ye used for self-defense. He unfolded the knife and pressed the tip against his palm, using the pain to block out the irritation.

The other hand quickly tapped the phone and asked, "Would you like to add WeChat?"

"Of course I will." Teacher Li gave a stiff smile and gave his WeChat ID.

Xing Ye added, "Please approve it."

As soon as Teacher Li accepted the friend request, Xing Ye immediately forwarded the pictures and videos of Wu Yu molesting the teacher sent by the informant at noon to Teacher Li.

Teacher Li's face changed after reading it, and the hand holding the phone began to tremble uncontrollably. She said angrily, "How could he...how could he...I want him to come to the office."

Xing Ye said, "Teacher, this kind of thing cannot be tolerated. You should call the police. If my friend hadn't stopped him in time at noon, the teacher would have been hurt. At 16 years old, he has full criminal responsibility. Wu Yu deserves a prison sentence for what he did."

"No, no, we can't do that," Teacher Li said with a forced smile. "He's just a student with a bright future ahead of him. He hasn't caused any substantial harm, so we should focus on persuasion and education."

"Teacher, you are so magnanimous." Xing Ye took his hand out of his trouser pocket, holding a small knife.

He held the knife to Teacher Li's neck and said, "If I do this, as long as it doesn't cause any substantial harm, will you show leniency?"

"What are you going to do?" Teacher Li's body was shaking.

"Don't underestimate this small knife. If you cut an artery with too much force, it can be fatal. Teacher, aren't you going to call the police?" Xing Ye asked.

"Stop joking..." Teacher Li kept backing away, and only when he reached the door did he realize that it was locked.

"When I came in, the teacher locked the door herself. Didn't you know?" Xing Ye said, "Teacher Li, you are young and beautiful. You locked the door while talking to a young and strong student in the office. Wouldn't it be bad if it got out?"

"Teacher, teacher didn't notice it at the time, it was a habitual action." Teacher Li continued.

"Then call the police," Xing Ye pointed at Teacher Li's phone, "If you don't, I'll kill you right now."

"No!" Teacher Li screamed, "Let me go..."

It's not that she is useless, but Xing Ye's attitude scares Teacher Li. He looks like a real murderer, as if Xing Ye will cut the artery in Teacher Li's neck in the next second and watch her bleed to death.

"You're pretending so well," Xing Ye sighed, "At noon, I really thought Wu Yu was using his special abilities in the game to wantonly hurt ordinary people, and you were an innocent victim.

It was you who woke me up from class and scolded me yesterday, just like a high school teacher. I suspected several people in the class at that time, but I didn't suspect you.

Because I didn't know the names of other students at the moment, and you called out my name right away, I subconsciously thought you were an ordinary teacher.

But if you think about it carefully, what should you do if the teacher suddenly changes the class and you don't know where you left off? Of course, you should call on a student to answer the question. If the answer is correct, you can find the content you taught. If the answer is not correct, you can use the time to reprimand the student to quickly adjust your attitude.

You must have the roster in your hand. The people in the Obey Fate camp are really lucky. You just randomly picked a name and it was me. Not only did you successfully fool them, but you also successfully dispelled my suspicions about you."

At this moment, Xing Ye had to admit that luck could sometimes really determine the outcome of a battle.

If it weren't for the scolding at the beginning, Xing Ye wouldn't have assumed that Teacher Li was an ordinary person. If it weren't for the mirror's reminder, he would have almost been controlled.

Xing Ye's irritability made him always in a state of collapse. The consequence of forcibly suppressing and pretending to be calm was that he looked even more terrifying. If he looked in the mirror, he would find that he looked like a perverted murderer who liked to dismember corpses. No wonder Teacher Li was so frightened.

"You are using a delayed QR code to control emotions, which can manipulate people by amplifying certain emotions. If I hadn't discovered it in time, I would have been annoyed by you and would have answered everything you asked. Starting from the first 'yes', I would have answered all your questions. You can easily get the information in the piano, right?" Xing Ye asked.

Teacher Li nodded repeatedly and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Since she was a player, Wu Yu's molestation of her was a performance for his informants. Wu Yu first went to see Di Kuang, during which time the person following him was discovered by Di Kuang, so Di Kuang came up with this method to confuse the person behind the informant and make Xing Ye relax his vigilance against Teacher Li.

He was ruthless and decisive enough. Xing Ye had not noticed any problems with Teacher Li before. Di Kuang's strength should not be underestimated.

Mirror once said that only one special QR code can be used at a time. The delayed QR code has strong capabilities, but it will also affect the use of other capabilities.

The feeling of irritability is still there, and the delay props have not lost their effectiveness, but Teacher Li should be able to use his innate skills and should not be so scared.

As soon as Xing Ye thought of this, he felt dizzy. Teacher Li had a bottle of perfume in his hand .

It can't be a special QR code. The perfume was placed on Teacher Li's desk when I just entered the room. It should be an ordinary perfume.

She can grant ordinary perfume mist-like abilities...so she locked the door and closed the windows when she entered.

"So you were stalling for time." Xing Ye said while enduring the dizziness.

Teacher Li, who had just been crying with fear, got up and said, "What else? Do you really think you'll scare me to tears? Just faint obediently. When you wake up, you'll be back in the system space. My delayed QR code can even pry open the mouth of a vegetative person. You'll be easier to deal with if you're unconscious."

The pain was no longer enough to stop him from fainting. Xing Ye covered his chest with the mirror and said, "Teacher, what a coincidence! I was also waiting for you to use your innate skills before I pretended to kill someone. We were thinking the same thing."
