From a distance, Zhou Bai could recognize his messy, raised hair. He didn't need to see his face clearly to know that he was the math teacher who had always been very reasonable.
"Come on, let's go over and take a look."
Zhou Bai saw the math teacher standing motionless at the corner.
He stood alone in the empty corridor, with darkness behind him.
Even when he saw Zhou Bai and Teacher Wang walking towards him, he kept his original movements.
It looked like he was being restricted by something.
Zhou Bai felt something was not right, and when he was about to reach him, he stopped and did not continue to approach him.
"What happened?" Zhou Bai asked him.
The math teacher's hands were clasped and hanging on both sides. If you look carefully, you can see that he seems to be holding something in his hands.
"It's messed up, everything is messed up." The math teacher said with fear in his eyes.
"Did you see a ghost too?
Don't be nervous, I was just as scared as you."
As Teacher Wang said this, he wanted to continue walking forward, but Zhou Bai stretched out his hand to hold him back.
"Don't move, look at the black shadow behind him."
After Zhou Bai's reminder, Teacher Wang noticed that behind the math teacher, the distance between him and the vast expanse of darkness seemed to be slowly shortening.
"What...what's going on?
Run quickly, why are you standing there?"
Realizing the danger behind the math teacher, Teacher Wang became a little anxious.
But the math teacher didn't seem to want to accept his kindness, and instead was a little wary of him.
"It's chaos, it's all chaos, I don't know you, why do you appear in this school?"
Teacher Wang looked puzzled: "Teacher Liu, I am Wang Cong who teaches history. We obviously chatted together yesterday."
Hearing him say this, the fear on the math teacher's face deepened.
"It's a mess, it's a mess, you're not from here either."
Although the math teacher has a very scared face now, it can be seen that he is still much smarter than the history teacher.
At least he could sense that there was chaos in the school, rather than just thinking that the school was haunted like the history teacher did.
Zhou Bai recalled that the math teacher had stopped him from unplugging the phone line in the office just now, and the doubts in his heart suddenly deepened.
The npc helps him for no reason, which is a bit unusual in itself.
Does the math teacher know something?
In other words, the math teacher is actually the person who really exists in this time and space?
Thinking of this, Zhou Bai quickly asked him: "Have you seen the principal today?"
The math teacher opened his eyes wide: "The principal has been dead for so long, you ask me if I have seen him?"
The history teacher held his head in his hands in horror: "It's a ghost, it must be a ghost."
In Zhou Bai's mind, he was trying hard to recall whether he had seen anything unusual inside when he was standing at the door of the principal's office just now.
Is there dust?
Is there a musty smell from not being used for a long time?
Or are there spider webs on the walls of the room?
Zhou Bai recalled the memory just now in his mind.
At this moment, his eyes fell behind the math teacher, and he saw the darkness, which was almost touching his figure.
"Can you come over here?
How can I help you?"
Zhou Bai stopped thinking and stared at the darkness that kept approaching.
He had a feeling that if he didn't do something, the math teacher might disappear in front of him soon.
The math teacher held the thing in his hand tightly: "If you were given a chance to help restore the school to its original state, would you be willing to do it?"
Zhou Bai nodded.
He could feel how much fear this chaos would bring to the people here.
If there was a chance to restore everything to the way it was, what reason would he have to refuse?
"If you are willing, then come to me."
The math teacher stood in front of the darkness. When he said these words to Zhou Bai, he felt like he wanted to pull him into the darkness together.
Teacher Wang shook his head and quickly took Zhou Bai's hand.
"No, no, no, you can't go.
Those dark places are very dangerous.
If something happens to you, what should I do?"
He was afraid that he would have no legs to hold him.
"Why don't you come over? Are you hiding something?" Teacher Wang was full of fire.
The math teacher didn't even look at him. He just clenched the things in his hands and kept his eyes on Zhou Bai.
"You want to help restore the school to its original state, but you don't want to take any chances.
Do you think I would be willing to believe you?"
Zhou Bai stared intently at the darkness that was about to touch him, recalling in his mind the previous scene where he was talking to himself in the office.
If he wanted to lie to himself, he should have a better reason.
A ridiculous lie that even Teacher Wang couldn't deceive, and it seemed unworthy of his IQ.
Halloween Teacher Code of Conduct for Teachers, Article 6.
[Please don’t think someone is lying. Reality is often more ridiculous than lies.]
Zhou Bai pushed away Teacher Wang's hand and said, "It's okay, I'm willing to take the risk."
Teacher Wang looked at Zhou Bai like a madman.
How could he not see such an obvious trap?
He clearly wants to die!
It's over, it's over, the thigh is gone.
Teacher Wang's nervousness was almost on the verge of collapse.
He saw Zhou Bai walking towards the math teacher, and saw the math teacher reaching out to grab Zhou Bai. The next second, it seemed as if he was pulling him into the darkness.
"Aren't you afraid that I will give you one life for another?"
Teacher Wang subconsciously raised his hand to cover his eyes.
Then he dared to open his eyes and look through his fingers to see what was happening in front of him.
I saw that Zhou Bai was indeed grabbed by the math teacher's arm, but he was not pulled into the darkness. The two of them stood face to face, as if they were secretly competing.
"Why don't you resist? You have no strength at all. Are you really not afraid of me cheating?"
Zhou Bai smiled: "If you want the school to return to its original state, shouldn't you take some risks?"
The math teacher then let go of his hand: "You passed the test."
After finishing speaking, he raised his other hand and placed a key in Zhou Bai's hand.
However, as soon as he finished this action, the darkness just touched the math teacher's heels.
Immediately afterwards, a large area of darkness was like a tide, starting from his feet, moving to his back and head, and then kept moving forward, and was about to swallow up his entire body.
Zhou Bai quickly took his hand, trying to pull him out of the darkness.
But the math teacher used his other hand to push him away.
"it's useless.
Ever since I stole this key, these darknesses have been chasing me.
I tried to escape, but wherever I ran, it quickly turned dark.
