Quickly slipping back to the dorm and locking the door, Bai Yan wasn’t lacking in confidence, laying down and submerging into dreamland.
He felt that he had done good today. Teacher Ning’s most recent mental state wasn’t stable, and seeing the black rims around her eyes, she definitely couldn’t sleep very well every day.
He, Bai Yan, respected his teacher, empathizing with his teacher’s hardships during class and directly sending a dream package to her. So long as Teacher Ning received it, she could then comfortably sleep for a long time, without the need to wake up.
There was no other child in this school who was as sensible and as thoughtful as he was.
Therefore, Bai Yan slept with a peaceful mind, his heart feeling relieved. He had already locked the dormitory’s door. At least for tonight, Teacher Ning wouldn’t just enter and hit him.
…
In the middle of the night, at the very end of the corridor, a violent explosion came through.
The explosion boomed, while the light extended in all directions. Even the dark dormitory was illuminated by the light for a moment before returning to its original darkness.
The deafening sound woke up most of the kids. The children immediately opened their eyes, trembling from this sudden turn of events. However, they still remembered that they weren’t allowed to speak during the night, so they tightly closed their lips and hid inside their quilts, shivering.
In the bedding, Bai Yan was also roused by the loud explosion.
He half-opened his eyes and pricked up his ears to listen, making sure that Teacher Ning didn’t knock on the door to find him in the middle of the night, before freely drawing his eyes close and flipping over his body to continue sleeping.
From then on, Teacher Ning would no longer be able to teach them.
A teacher who brought him such joy… When he thought about it, it was a bit of a shame.
…
Bai Yan slept until dawn. The satisfaction he experienced yesterday made his slumber particularly good.
Compared to the little kids who were on edge all night long, his reaction was clearly abnormal.
It was clear to Bai Yan that his classmates were no good either. So, he pretended that he didn’t hear anything last night, cluelessly getting up from bed and ‘learned’ from his classmates what really happened last night.
But…
“Why won’t everyone come out?”
The day was already bright, and all the students were similar to crowded ostriches inside the dormitory, leaving Bai Yan extremely puzzled.
He saw some of his classmates fiercely holding themselves back, clearly needing to go to the bathroom. But, even if they restrained themselves until their faces turned red, they could still bear it, not wanting to go out no matter what.
“We… We’re afraid that there will be ghosts outside!” A boy with a watermelon-shaped head answered, “Last night, a booming sound came from outside, hearing it was terrible! Just in case the Ghost Mother is standing outside the room, whoever opens the door first, the Ghost Mother will eat first. What will we do then?”
This world’s fairytales were quite weird. Within these 10 short days, Bai Yan’s classmates have already heard of many terrifying fairy tales, causing the cultural level here to greatly improve.
His birth mother had no time to read him these stories, while his two adoptive parents, both of whom were good people who made him sick, naturally could not read him these horrible stories to intimidate him. Even if they did, they would have read the fairy tale ‘Little White Rabbit, Open The Door’.
Similar to the fairy tale of the big bad wolf tricking the little rabbit into opening the door, the story of ‘The Ghost Mother’ also taught children not to open the door at will.
When one felt that something was wrong outside, no matter what, one should not open the door. Otherwise, the Ghost Mother would come in through the door and enter the room to eat you up.
Such absurd fairy tales used to not scare this mischievous group of kids before.
However, similar tales were constantly playing out in the school, so the children couldn’t help but take these tales as the golden rule.
After looking around for a long time, Bai Yan couldn’t find anyone who would dare open the door.
The ‘Ghost Mother’ story was deeply rooted in people’s hearts. These little kids weren’t foolish and were all waiting for someone to open the door. This way, if there really was a ghost mother outside, the person that would be eaten wouldn’t be themselves.
“You’re all thinking too much, fairy tales are all shams. Although the school has ghosts, our mothers are all staying at home, so how could there possibly be a ghost mother on the other side of the door?”
At this moment, Bai Yan was confident in himself.
He knew best on what took place last night.
Last night, Teacher Ning ascended to the heavens, and the explosion outside wasn’t caused by ghosts.
He did this good deed, can he not know how it turned out?
Knowing that Teacher Ning had already received his gift and wouldn’t have the opportunity to retaliate against him, Bai Yan brazenly opened the door, completely unworried of the ghost gatekeeper outside.
However, once the door swung open, his smiling expression went rigid.
He saw Ning Xiuli standing outside the door, an amiable smile hanging on her face. She was standing straight outside the door, her eyes fixed at him.
‘Teacher Ning… Didn’t you go to heaven?
Why are you still here?’
Bai Yan’s heart rolled over a flock of screaming chickens, which fluttered and raced past, knocking his heart into a mess.
Bai Yan shot Ning Xiuli a glance, discovering that Ning Xiuli’s skin was intact, her forehead clean, and not a single strand of her hair was torched.
Moreover, Ning Xiuli’s thick eye bags were also gone, and her frizzy hair was also slicked back into a neat ponytail. Her whole person appeared to be in great spirits, leaving Bai Yan flabbergasted. The explosion still had this sort of result?
“Teacher Ning, good morning.”
Bai Yan rigidly smiled towards Ning Xiuli as he greeted her. In turn, Ning Xiuli also smiled at him, saying, “Good morning.”
After receiving a courteous response from Ning Xiuli, Bai Yan felt his hairs stand on end.
Something was wrong, something was really wrong.
The Teacher Ning he knew shouldn’t be like this.
The real Teacher Ning would right now jump first and beat him a dozen times, making him half dead, then verbally abusing the lazy little kids inside the dormitory.
In the end, she would not consider the consequences and carry out punishment to everyone, this was Ning Xiuli’s method.
But the teacher in front of his eyes was warm and elegant, appearing amiable.
Only the smile hanging on her lips as well as her excessively good-natured expression made people feel weird no matter what.
This was not Teacher Ning.
Bai Yan thought warrily.
The real Teacher Ning was already dead, then the one in front of him… She was a fake Teacher Ning!
Thinking of Lin Miaomiao, who had turned into a ghost, alarm bells in Bai Yan’s mind started to go off, not helping to stagger two steps back.
Bai Yan didn’t dare go out the door for a short while. The other students didn’t know what actually happened last night, so they weren’t skeptical, only timidly running out the door.
As soon as they left, these students beelined towards the bathroom. They were also a bit surprised that Ning Xiuli did not punish anyone this morning, but it was barely a surprise—— Teacher Ning was such a cruel and vicious old witch, how was it possible for her to become a ghost? Unless, she was originally a ghost!
More and more people left the dorm. Seeing that the people in the dormitory were all about to leave, Bai Yan didn’t dare to stay longer, so he went out of the room in a daze, following the flow of people.
After eating the flavorless breakfast, Bai Yan’s heart started to settle down.
In the morning, Ning Xiuli’s manner was incredibly gentle. She didn’t single him out nor did she look for him to retaliate.
One already couldn’t consider a ghost turned human a human anymore.
So, Teacher Ning ought to have already forgotten his good deed from last night and wouldn’t specially bother him about it, nor would she give a thank you gift… most probably.
Bai Yan’s heart felt weak. He quietly lowered his eyes and did his best to reduce his existence so that Teacher Ning, who could come back from the dead, would not notice him.
After eating, Ning Xiuli gathered the students in the classroom.
As soon as class started, she opened her book.
The subject taught should be Chinese.
However, Bai Yan could clearly see when Ning Xiuli opened the book that the outer cover read ‘Necromancy.’
